DISCLAIMER: Do you really think that we own the Marauders?!?!?
~*~*~ Chapter Four: "We Attack at Dawn!" ~*~*~
"Young witches and wizards, we will be arriving at . . . . HEY!! Give me that back!!!" the announcer shouted, his voice magically magnified, at some unknown intruders.
"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts, Teach us something please, Whether we be old and bald Or young with scabby knees, Our heads could do with filling With some interesting stuff, For now they're bare and full of air, Dead flies and bits of fluff, So teach us things worth knowing, Bring back what we've forgot, Just do your best, we'll do the rest, And learn until our brains all rot!!!" Strong male voices floated through the train, magically magnified; baffling the students, who couldn't understand why the school song was being sung in the train.
"Give me that back! I command you!" the announcer shouted, lunging for his wand.
"NO!! We will not! Never give up! Never surrender Remmy! We must hold strong!!" a laughter filled voice boomed through the train. He seemed to be having fun.
"NOW!!" the announcer shouted, his voice booming.
"Alrighty! Bye-ya! See 'ya in a few minutes Harry!" the man said; and then there was silence.
Only minutes later everyone was crowding in and around Harry's compartment asking, "WHO WAS THAT?!?!?"
"Sirius Black and Remus Lupin." Harry said as he put his head in his hands.
"The murderer and a werewolf!?!??" they all shrieked.
"Hey!! He was cleared!!" Hermione shouted.
"And the werewolf?!?!?" everyone asked.
"Well . . . he's only a werewolf three times a month!!!" Ron shouted over the noise.
"And what is wrong with werewolves?!? I'm cute, I'm cuddly, give me a hug!!!" Remus said as he made his way through the crowd, which wasn't hard because everyone wanted to get away from him and Sirius as quickly as they could. One student couldn't help but stare and Remus solved this by saying, "Grr. Arg. Snarl!" all the while, pawing with his hands. The first year ran away screaming bloody murder.
"Remus! What did I say about the first years?!?!?" Sirius asked, scolding Remus.
"Umm, that they are a bunch of whinny, annoying, pathetic excuses of witches and wizards, that wouldn't know the difference between a werewolf and a grim if they bit them in the butt! Which they most likely will . . ." Remus recited from memory.
"Remmy . . . that is not what I was speaking of!" Sirius stopped him.
"Oh, right! Don't scare the first years!" Remus remembered.
"Very good!" Sirius said as if he was talking to a first year, tossing Remus a cookie; which he caught in his mouth. A first year made his way up to Sirius, as if the argue on behalf of the other first years, but Remus again said, "GRR. ARG. SNARL!" and the first year ran away. Harry of course had his head in his hands, trying to be invisible.
"Hey Remmy! You do realize that in less than 24 hours you have to be teaching those kids!" Sirius said over his shoulder while walking the rest of the way into Harry's compartment and sitting down next to him.
"Yeah, but they listen better when they are afraid!" Remus said, following Sirius's lead. Hermione and Ron gave both men a hug and began to talk excitedly about the year ahead. Harry sat with his head in his hands, trying not to laugh, which was pretty hard. He was sitting with the Marauders after all!
~*~*~
Just after dusk the Hogwarts Express came to a halt at the Hogwarts Station. As the future witches and wizards began to exit the train, they were shoved aside by Remus, who was chasing after Padfoot. Remus didn't even realize until it was too late, that he was running into Hagrid. Padfoot stopped running and began to chase his tail; waiting for Remus to pursue him again.
"'Ello there Remus! Off to the castle I reckon!" Hagrid said, clearly happy to see him.
"Well, actually Hagrid, I was chasing after a Mr. Padfoot." Remus said pointing to Sirius in his grim form.
"Ahh, have fun with that! Wait a minute, "Hagrid said, spinning around towards Sirius, "I can't just let you run around! It's not safe for the children! And have you been neutered?!!?" Sirius turned back into a human and approached Hagrid.
"You will do no such thing!" he said waving his hand in front of Hagrid's face; attempting to do a Jedi mind trick!
"Sirius . . . Sirius! Would you . . . STOP!!!!" Hagrid shouted as Sirius continually waved his hand in front of his face.
"Now Remmy! NOW!" Sirius shouted, seeing the look on Hagrid's face, and they both sprinted off to the boats. Remus grabbed Hagrid's boat and he and Sirius jumped in, leading the frightened first years across the lake. Remus grabbed the paddles and started to row like a crazy man.
"Row man! Row! Row like you've never rowed before!!" Sirius shouted in a thick Irish accent as he stood at the front of the boat, Remus rowing his heart out.
"I'm giving her all she's got captain! It isn't working!" Remus shouted back in an equally thick accent as they slowly edged forward.
"You must row men!!! Row!! We attack at dawn!!!" Sirius shouted to the first years, pointing at Hogwarts. The first years all turned to one another, confused and slightly scared. They began to whisper hurriedly to each other.
"Don't think I can't hear you!" Sirius shouted at them.
"Who are they?"
"One is a teacher?"
"You're kidding!"
"They belong at St. Mungos Insane Asylum!"
"I know! My brother told me about them! They're famous! If you wake up to find your hair dyed pink, it wouldn't surprise me if it was one of them!" the first years whispered to each other.
"Did I not say I could hear you?" Sirius shouted once more.
"Be silent or we will make you walk the plank!" Remus shouted over his shoulder.
"Don't make us resort to that!" both said at the same time.
"You can't do that!" one shouted.
Sirius and Remus began to rub their hands together mischievously.
"Can't we?" Remus asked, grinning like there was no tomorrow. ~*~*~
"They didn't used to be this strange . . . did they?" Hagrid asked himself back at shore, as he began to walk towards the castle.
~*~*~
A/N: It's a little short! I know! I'm sorry! Please don't hurt poor little Sanaria! My parents dragged me off on a pointless vacation and I didn't have a computer! Anrion and I promise more the next chappie!
Sirius: Yeah, sure you do!
Remus: We believe you!
Anrion: Do you know how many things we can do to you in the next chapter if you anger us?!?!?
Remus: *sneers* Like what?
Sanaria: Do the words Snape and Love Potion make you feel differently?!?!?
Sirius: You wouldn't . . . would you?!?!?
Anrion: Oh, I believe she would!
Sanaria: Just keep this up and we'll find out!
*Silence*
Anrion & Sanaria: Please R&R!!
A/N: Anrion must cut in and congratulate Ashen on an excellent impression of Scotty from Star Trek!!!! WOO HOO! GO TRECKIES!!!!
Sirius: Oookay..
Remus: Is she always like that?
Sanaria: Unfortunately, yes. You don't have to go to school with her.
