Three day weekend! YEAH! Then only FOUR days left in school!
Disclaimer: I didn't make Harry Potter, only the three other Marauder children and their mums.
Warnings: None.
Thanks to all my reviewers:
Magic Crystal Rose: I realize that the story follows the books a lot, but after I finish this one and the second book, it's really going to get different because I've changed a lot of things Sirius and Peter did or didn't do. They'll get farther from the books, I promise! The fourth will go back to being close though. Thanks for the review.
Lady Verrissa: Okay, calm down! No cursing. Hehe. I'll try to add some more Adrian description.
Iluska: Glad you like the story.
Rouge07: I WANT YOUR STORY UP! I LIKE IT! Good guess about the relationship, you were so close.

The Way it Should Have Been
Chapter Five: SNIVELLUS TRIED TO KILL ME!!!!
Harry had never been so worried. Saturday was his first Quidditch game and it was against Slytherin. No one had even seen Harry train, Wood didn't want anyone to see just how good Harry really was. Everyone had found out that he was the new Seeker though and it got irritating because everyone was congratulating him or wishing him good luck, telling him that they hoped he could stay on his broom (the Slytherins wishing him off his broom).
He was also never happier that Kat was his friend, or he wouldn't have any of his homework done.
The Friday before the game the four were outside during break, Harry reading Quidditch Though the Ages, the book Sirius had given him for his birthday. They were huddled together against the bitter wind.
"Why is Snape limping?" Adrian asked, his dark blue eyes squinted against the wind. Since Sarah and Kat had their backs to him, they turned slightly to see. He was limping badly on his leg and wincing slightly.
"Dunno, but I think it has something to do with the dog." Harry said, taking his eyes off the book. Sarah gasped.
"Why?"
"Because last night on my way back from detention (Adrian, Harry and the twins were busted with the prank on the Slytherins and were given detention) I saw him talking to Filch. His leg was bleeding and he said something about watching all three heads." The three stared at him, mouths open and eyes large. "What?" he finally asked.
"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Kat demanded, pushing a strand of her auburn hair behind her ear.
"I forgot." He answered sheepishly, shrugging. Kat and Adrian groaned.
"Why would he go to fight that dog anyway? It's evil." Adrian muttered angrily, watching Snape limp away.
"I don't know." Kat said when they looked at her.
After hard weeks of training, it was finally Harry's first Quidditch game and he was nervous.
"I'm going to be sick." He looked at his food and turned a slight color of green. Adrian snickered before patting Harry on the back.
"Eat up mate. You'll need it." Harry shook his head, shrugging Adrian's tan hand off of his shoulder.
"No touch." Kat rolled her amber eyes and took a bite of sausage.
"Adrian is right Harry. You'll need some strength." Kat tried to get him to eat, but he refused.
Finally it was the match time. Harry followed the twins to the locker room as the rest of the school piled out into the stadium.
In the locker room the team waited in their scarlet uniforms for Oliver to start speaking.
"Okay everyone. It's time. This is it. The team's better than ever. We're going to win. It's our turn." He looked around and nodded. "Right. Good luck." He led the way onto the field, to the screaming crowd. Harry breathed deeply, when he saw the Marauders waving signs that said "Go Harry!" on them and Hagrid in the stands as well. He calmed down greatly.
"Now, I want this to be a clean and fair game from everyone." Madam Hooch said, looking around. Harry swallowed in fear when he saw the Slytherin captain, Marcus Flint.
'He has to related to a troll or something.' He thought about the mean looking sixth year.
"Mount your brooms." He hopped on and waited for the whistle. As soon as it blew shrilly into the air he and the rest of the teams and Madam Hooch rose into the air and the game began.
A friend of the twins, Lee Jordan, was the commentary and he went quickly along with the match. Harry watched from above the pitch, watching out for the snitch. Oliver had told him to stay out of trouble as long as possible and he did so, amazed at how tough the Slytherins played.
They were deliberately trying to knock the Chasers off their brooms. He dodged Bludgers, keeping his eyes open.
Finally he spotted the Snitch. He raced after it, flying downward, neck and neck with the Slytherin seeker. He almost had it until Marcus Flint blocked him. The Snitch was gone, but Gryffindor got a free shot at the goal.
All of the Gryffindors were furious. Dean was yelling about red cards (something which most of the first year Gryffindors had to ask him what it was) Hagrid protested saying they should change rules and even Lee couldn't help but take sides.
"The Gryffindor team gets a free shot at the goal due to the pathetic and disgusting foul against the Seeker-"
"Jordan." After several more blurts against the Slytherins, McGonagall warning him, Lee finally gave up and continued as usual.
Harry wasn't listening, because just seconds ago his broom had lurched against his will and he was almost thrown off.
"What's wrong with Harry's broom?" Sarah asked. Kat looked through her binoculars until she saw Snape muttering something.
"Snivellus is trying to kill Harry!" she gasped, throwing her binoculars to Adrian and racing towards the teacher's stand.
"What?" Adrian and Sarah looked at each other, before looking back up to Harry. He was holding on with his life and everyone watched in horror. Marcus scored a point, but no one noticed. When Harry slipped off, everyone screamed.
Fred and George flew under him, but he was able to get back on. The broom jerked, but he held on.
When Kat finally reached the teacher's stand she snuck under them quietly looking for Snape. When she saw him she quietly whispered a spell and Snape's cape flew up into flames. He knocked Quirrell, the Herbology teacher and another teacher over trying to stomp the flames out.
The broom stopped lurching around and Harry tried to move it. It went with his command and everyone cheered as he flew around the pitch once. The game resumed, Kat watching from next to the teacher's stand.
Harry kept his watch as the game commenced and he finally saw the Snitch. So did the other Seeker. They hurtled downwards after the Snitch, Harry barely in the lead. He got closer and closer until he leaned too far. He fell off his broom headfirst and landed on the ground. Everyone groaned and watched as he stood up and held his hand out. He opened his palm and there was the Snitch.
He smiled and held it up as the rest of the team came down and clapped him on the back. The Marauders came out of the stands and hugged him. Everyone cheered and clapped as the Slytherin team sulked off the field.
"It was Snape Harry. He tried to throw you off your broom." Kat told him as they followed Hagrid to his hut. They clambered in as Harry thought about what Kat had just said.
"What? SNIVELLUS TRIED TO KILL ME?" Hagrid turned around and gave them a bewildered look before making them some tea.
"Tell the whole world Harry."
"Shut up Adrian. A teacher just tried to kill me."
"What are yeh talkin' 'bout? What teacher?"
"Snape just tried to kill me. And I bet it's because I found out he tried to get past that three headed dog." The Marauders shushed him, until they noticed Hagrid's face.
"How do you know about Fluffy?"
"Fluffy? You named that monster Fluffy?" Adrian gasped, lowering his tea from his mouth.
"O' course I named him! He's mine. Lent him to Dumbledore to guard the- never mind."
"Hagrid! Snape's going to steal it!" Kat cried, almost spilling her tea on Adrian.
"Rubbish! Snape wouldn't steal it or kill yeh Harry. And yer meddlin' in stuff yeh outta leave alone. It has nuttin' to do with none of yeh. It's between Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel. Oh no!" He groaned as Kat grinned.
The next few weeks found the four digging through the library every night and during every break. Adrian and Harry had gone to Hagrid one morning after breakfast to get more information, but he refused to say anymore about it.
"Kat we've looked through hundreds of books! It's not here!" Adrian protested. "And I've never gotten so many paper cuts in my whole life!" He held his fingers in front of her face.
"Oh stop whining Adrian. He has to be in here somewhere." Harry and Adrian glanced at each other. Both had wished that they signed up to go home like Sarah. Kat was staying too and she planned to look in the library the whole time.
It was mid-December and Christmas was coming fast. They continued to pester Hagrid at every chance they had, but he refused to say anything else. So they were stuck looking blindly for a book they didn't know they were looking for. They didn't ask the librarian in case anyone found out.
The holidays started eventually so Harry and Adrian started sleeping in. Kat seemed lonely without Sarah, and because she was the only first year Gryffindor girl. They were pretty much the only ones in Gryffindor, other than a few fourth years, and one or two seventh years.
The three got the good seats in front of the fire and they roasted all kinds of stuff and drank hot chocolate. Even Kat seemed to forget about Flamel. And Christmas Eve they said good night happily to each other and fell asleep when their heads hit the pillows.
They awoke the next morning to Kat sitting on Neville's bed and several feet of snow.
"How'd you get in here?" Adrian groaned, rolling over. Harry yawned and wished everyone a Merry Christmas.
"I got in through the door." Harry laughed and spotted the huge pile of gifts. Kat brought hers into the dorm. They grinned at each other before digging in.
They each got something from each other, their parents, each other's parents, Hagrid, Sarah and Sarah's parents.
'Wonder what this is?' Harry thought, picking the light package up that said:
To the Marauders. Love the ex-Marauders: Prongs, Padfoot, Moony and
Wormtail.
"Whose it from?" Adrian asked, looking through a book Kat gave him.
"Our dads. It's to all four of us." They moved over to Harry as he ripped the package open. Out of fell a silvery cloak. They gasped and stared at the cloak.
"Oh Merlin! It's an Invisibility Cloak!" Adrian gasped out and Harry grabbed the note on top of the cloak.
"To Harry. This was mine and I figured that since the old Marauders used it for mischief, that the new Marauders could use it. Use it well. Love, Dad"
"I know what we can do with it." Kat said. "The only place in the library we haven't looked is the Restricted Section. We'll go tonight."
"You actually want to break rules?" Adrian asked her.
"It says to "Use it well" And that's what we'll be doing. Why not?"
"I think you're around us too much." Harry told us before he put it on. "Hey look! No body!" Kat groaned and poked Harry.
"Still solid."
"It makes you invisible! Not air." Harry told, wrapping an arm around her shoulder so half of her body was gone.
"That looks so cool!" Adrian ran a hand though his hair.
"Tonight then?" Adrian and Harry nodded.
"Why do we have to do everything?" Adrian whispered in Harry's ear that night. They were under the Invisibility Cloak heading towards the library. Harry had a lantern held in front of them and Adrian had one under the cloak.
"Because we're the men of the group. We're also the ones who'll get in trouble and not care."
"I bet Moony stayed behind too. Wormtail stayed behind too I bet."
"Look at it this way. We're the truly brave ones. We risk our lives for the reputation of the lovely Kat. And probably the adorable Sarah." Adrian snorted and opened the library doors. They looked around and went into the Restricted Section and slipped the cloak off, Harry draping it over his arm.
"So what do we look for?" Adrian asked. Harry shrugged.
"Anything that might look useful. Something modern." Adrian nodded and went to the opposite end of the section.
"We'll meet again in the middle." Harry held his lantern up, but it was too hard to read any of the books. The letters were peeling and old, and it odd languages. One book looked pretty much unused and new so he grabbed it and opened it.
And it screamed. He gasped and knocked his lantern over and Adrian came up next to him. Harry slammed the book shut and they ducked under the cloak as the shrill scream continued to echo around the library.
They ducked Filch and ran until they ran out of breath near a door.
"Nice going Harry."
"Hey the book didn't look old. It's Kat's fault."
"A student is out of bed." They turned slowly to see Snape walking with Filch towards the library.
"We'll find them. They couldn't have gotten far." They crept backwards to the door and creaked it open.
It looked like an old classroom and in the middle was a huge mirror with some odd writing on it. It was gold and had clawed feet.
"I'm going to get Kat." Harry nodded and threw the cloak to Adrian. Harry looked around the mirror, not seeing anything but his reflection. 'Wonder what the words mean?' He sat in a desk and waited for Kat and Adrian.
They came in after ten minutes or so. "What is going on?" Kat demanded, until she saw the mirror.
"Wow." She stepped closer and looked in it. Her eyes widened and she blushed a bright red color, even in the dark.
"What?" Harry asked and Adrian stepped next to her. He gasped softly and stepped away, rubbing his arm, embarrassed.
"What do you guys see?" He looked in the mirror and saw only the three of them.
"Don't you see it?" She asked.
"I see the three of us."
"Thank Merlin." Adrian groaned.
"I don't see what the excitement is about."
"I am not surprised." They turned to see Dumbledore sitting behind them on a desk. They gasped and stepped away from the mirror.
"Professor!" He nodded and stepped closer.
"You've found the Mirror of Erised I see." They nodded. "Do you know what it does?" They whispered no and he smiled at them, stepping closer. "I'll give you a hint. A person who saw only himself is totally happy."
"It shows us what we want to see." Kat squeaked, refusing to look at Adrian.
"Yes. Harry you have everything you could want. Your parents, a good home, good friends, you're making your parents proud. Kat and Adrian are happy just as you. But they want something that you don't, or that you aren't thinking about right now."
"What?" He asked them. They blushed and didn't answer.
"Perhaps in good time they will tell you. But the Mirror is being moved. Don't go looking for it." They nodded and he swept out of the room. They stood there for several more seconds before going under the cloak and heading back to Gryffindor Tower.
When they got in the common room Adrian and Kat were still blushing and they wouldn't look at each other. Kat whispered good night before heading to the girl's dorms and Harry followed Adrian to their room.
"What did you see?" He asked as they got ready for bed.
"Promise not to tell Kat?"
"Yeah."
"I saw us together."
"Like how together?"
"Like a couple. We were dancing, holding hands, you know, couple-dating- stuff."
"You want to marry Kat!" Harry laughed, falling on his bed.
"No, I just like her." Harry's glasses fell off when Adrian whacked him the head with his pillow. "Shut up Harry."
"Okay, okay fine. I won't tell her. I wander what she saw."
"Don't know. I won't ask either. So drop it." Adrian slid under the covers of his bed and mumbled a "Good night"
"Night." Harry said back, before falling asleep.
