Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. If you want to talk to the owner, call J.K. Rowling. Then give me her number so I can talk to her about the death of one of my favorite characters.

Summary: James, Sirius, and Remus (as second years) go back to when the Weasley twins were second years (the year before Harry, Ron, and Hermione start). Can Hogwarts handle all five of them at once? Will they manage to run all the Slytherins out of Hogwarts? (I wish.) Please R&R!

A/N: I love reviewers!!! –hint– And if anyone wants to use any of the spells I create, just e-mail me: HorseElf9@netscape.net

Tielle: Thanks for telling me about my settings, I've fixed them.

"I would like to introduce three new students!" Dumbledore gestured at Sirius, Remus and James. "James Cooper, Sirius Causs and Remus Thompson!" He waited while a few students and staff clapped politely. "They are second years and have been sorted into Gryffindor." There was a half-hearted cheer from the Gryffindor table. The Weasley twins grinned at each other.

The three "exchange students" went to go sit down. Behind them, McGonagall had started talking to Dumbledore.

"Albus, how, exactly, did those three get here?"

"Apparently, a spell they were working on backfired. Don't look so worried, Minerva. In a little while, they'll be back in their own time," Dumbledore replied.

"You are putting those three into my class with the Weasley's, and you tell me not to worry? The five of them will blow my classroom apart!"

"As I recall, you had those three for seven years, with your classroom none the worse."

"Three, yes. Five?"

"They'll be back in their own time soon," Dumbledore assured her.

Down at the Gryffindor table, George nudged his twin. "Look at Snape!" he whispered. If looks could kill, Sirius and James would be dead, with Remus not far behind.

"Wonder why Snape hates them?" Fred asked.

George nodded. "There's only one way to find out," he said. The two of them moved down next to the three new students.

"So," George said casually, "why does Snape hate you three?"

Fred almost groaned aloud. So much for smooth.

James looked at George for a second. "Why?"

"Because he looks like he's about to murder you three."

Sirius grinned. "Good."

"Why is that good?" Remus asked, looking at Sirius like he was crazy.

"Because, then I don't have to pretend to like him. He hates me, I hate him, everyone knows, it's perfect!"

Now everyone was looking like they were questioning Sirius' sanity.

"Oooo-kaaay," Fred said, edging away from Sirius.

"Yeah, Sirius, that makes perfect sense," Remus said, rolling his eyes.

Sirius didn't appear to notice the looks. He leaned towards the Weasley twins. "Do you two like to pull pranks and just generally annoy the teachers and the Slytherins?" he asked softly, glancing warily towards the staff table. Several times last year, McGonagall had overheard prank-plotting sessions. Needless to say, she had not been thrilled with them.

"Of course!" they said together. "Who wouldn't?" George added.

"The teachers," Remus replied. "And I doubt the Slytherins like it much either."

"They don't count," James said, flapping a hand in Remus' direction as if waving his comments aside.

"Until we get caught."

"You worry too much," Sirius informed Remus. "We're not going to get caught."

"Did you three have anything special in mind?" George asked, grinning mischievously.

"Not really, why? Do you have any good ideas?"

"A couple," Fred said, a grin identical to George's growing on his face.

"Like?" James prompted, also grinning.

The twins launched into a description of a couple of the pranks that would be easiest to pull off. Remus groaned inwardly. Too many pranks…Not good. Sometimes he got the feeling that James and Sirius actually liked getting put in detention. This was one of those times.

"You're going to help us, right Remus?" Sirius asked, breaking into Remus' thoughts. He gave Remus his best puppy dog eyes. Remus groaned again, this time out loud. "Who else can keep you from to something incredibly stupid?"

"So you're in?" Fred asked.

Slowly Remus nodded. Signing his own detention slip…
