A/N: Don't complain about the way I decided to pair up couples. It's my story. Deal with it. HAHAHA!

Chapter 5: Brothers

Harry, Ron, James, and Neville were sitting together in their Divination class. It had been two weeks since the Welcome Back dance. Harry and Hermione are the perfect couple many people observed. Ron and Luna were acting like two hormone driven teenagers. They were constantly being caught snogging. However, Neville and Lavender had barely spoken a word to each other. Harry, Ron , Neville, and James had become great friends since the dance, making James feel like he was connecting with his father more then they had before.

James sat watching Professor Trelawney move across the room talking to the students. She came to James and seemed to hold her hand on her head. "I see a very dark past from you. I believe that you have lost both your parents am I not correct?"

James wanted to laugh. "I'm sorry Professor, but no I have not lost my parents. In fact I am in contact with them everyday." James tried his hardest not to laugh.

"Very well," the professor spoke rather indignantly. "I think that that should be all for today. Class dismissed. However, Mr. Harrison I would like to speak with you."

James groaned inwardly. He waited as the rest of the class exited. He stood where he was and knew that he was going to get in trouble for talking back to a teacher. As he stood there Professor Trelawney stared at James. She was about to speak when her eyes became white and she said in a low voice, "YOU WILL BECOME MORE THAN FATHER AND SON WITH YOUR FATHER. YOU TWO WILL BECOME BROTHERS. BEWARE THE DECENDANT OF THE DARK LORD FOR SHE WILL TRY TO DESTROY A SPECIAL BOND AND YOU WILL NOT REMAIN AMONG THE LIVING." Trelawney then slumped against her chair.

James looked at Trelawney and then quickly and quietly exited. James knew that what he just saw was a real prediction. James was about to rush to Dumbledore's office when he was confronted by someone he didn't want to see.

"Well, well if it's not the newest member of Potter's fan club," sneered Draco. "You know Harrison you really should be careful who you are associated with."

James looked at Draco and said smiling, "You know I have wanted to talk to you. Preferably alone…Drake." James made sure Draco heard the name Drake.

All of the color that was left in Draco's face fell. He quickly said over his shoulder, "Crabbe, Goyle, split." When they didn't move Draco shouted, "NOW!" Now turning back to James Draco said almost deathly, "Ok where did you learn that name?"

James looked around and made sure there was no one around. "Ok, you want to know how I know that name? I cannot tell you. I can tell you however that I know that after you're second year you fell in love with a Muggle girl. I also know that she had a five year old brother who called you 'Drake.' I also know that over the summer after fourth year the family was slaughtered by your father so that Voldemort would never know."

Draco looked at James and said, "Ok what do you want?"

James regretted doing this to his "Uncle Drake", but knew of no other way to keep Draco away until he got back to his time. "Ok I want you to lay off of the Gryffindore's a bit. Keep up some of the insults so that no one notices, but don't go out of your way to annoy Harry, Ron, Hermione, and me. And lay off of Neville while you're at it. And I know that you will do this because I know that you are not worried about what will happen to you or your father, but you are worried about what will happen to your mother if Voldemort ever finds out that one of his Inner Circle has a child who was in love with a Muggle."

Draco looked shocked, "What? I have to leave Pothead, Weasel, Mudblood, and Forgetful alone? How will I have fun then?"

James looked at Draco and almost laughed. "Why don't you try studying for once?"

"Listen Harr…James my grades are good enough. And I don't happen to think studying is fun, I mean I am not that mud…not Hermione Granger." It was eating Draco alive not to insult James or Hermione.

"Very good Drake. Now I need to go see Dumbledore." With that James practically ran to Dumbledore's office.

James reached Dumbledore's office and entered. He wasn't the least surprised to see Dumbledore there waiting for him. Dumbledore asked James, "Yes, Mr. Potter?"

"Sir, I know I am interrupting you, but I felt that I must tell you. I was just in Divination, when Professor Trelawney predicated something. She told me that my father and me would become brothers, I haven't figured out that one. But she also said to beware of Voldemort's descendent. I was wondering if you knew anything about it." James said all of this in one breath and then took a couple of deep breaths to regain his composure.

Dumbledore looked at James and thought to himself, How remarkable! He is just like his father. Dumbledore then said, "Young Mr. Potter. I am not aware of Voldemort having any descendants, however we must never rule it out. I will ask my spies if they have learned anything."

James leaves feeling better now that he has told Dumbledore. James makes his way back to the common room where he finds Harry, Ron, and Neville in a quiet discussion. They notice him and Harry waves him over.

"Hey Harry, what's up?" asked James.

"Be quiet. Look I am going to tell you three something special but secret." Harry made sure he had everyone's attention. "I have decided that since Vol…I mean You-Know-Who returned I think Hogwart's needs a return of its own. I think its time that the Marauders returned. I owled the last remaining member of the Original Marauders and asked him how I can resurrect the Marauders. I also asked him to teach me and my Marauders how to become animagi. He told me to resurrect the Marauders we need four people who are willing to do anything to have fun. He then reluctantly agreed to show us how to become animagi. Well I decided that the four are you three and me. So are you guys in or out?"

Neville looked nervous and hesitantly asked, "What happens if we say no?"

Harry looked thoughtful and said, "Well if you say no then I'll wipe your memories of this conversation and find some other people."

Ron shook his head and said, "Of course I am in. There really was no point in asking me."

Neville thought for a second before he agreed. Now the three looked at James. James thought to himself, Breaking about a billion wizard laws and being asked to do it by my father? Who would have known? James turned to the group and said, "I'm defiantly in. But why are there for people needed?"

Harry looked at him and said, "Four are needed because as Marauders there is a bond created. It makes the people who take the bond like brothers. Three people are too weak to make this bond and five are too strong. So it has to be four. When one brother is in trouble the others will know it. The bond will allow us to talk mentally, however we will not be able to know what another one is thinking unless that person wants to share it. Which is a good thing especially when Ron's in the bathroom imagining Luna. "

Ron made a lunge at Harry, while Neville just laughed at them. However, James took in this information and thought about it. So that's how Sirius knew to go to Godric's Hollow. He mentally knew that my grandfather was in trouble.

Meanwhile in the Dark Forest.

A figure dressed in dark robes walked along a path that they only knew about. When the person reached a clearing they noticed two other people were there already standing around a small fire. The person looked at the others and instantly knew who they were. One was a balding man, rather on the plump side, who had a metal hand. The other was a tall man who's face was white with ruby red eyes. They regarded the new person and almost cursed them.

When the tall man noticed who it was he smiled. He asked the person, "And how is everything progressing, my daughter?"

"Everything is going along perfectly father," replied Voldemort's daughter. "Soon I will be able to separate Potter and that mudblood girlfriend of his. I still cannot believe he would disgrace the wizard community by dating her."

"Very good. But remember that you must not be discovered until we are ready to strike. Use your position to influence the students and bend them to my will." Lord Voldemort told his daughter. "Now return and we shall meet soon to discuss the plans to destroy Potter and that Muggle lover Dumbledore. When they are gone we will claim Hogwarts and then we shall set the wizarding community on fire so that I am placed as the rightful Lord of Wizards."

The girl smiled and started back to Hogwarts. Her thoughts then turned to what her father said. Destroy Potter? No, I must make my father understand that I love Potter and that he and I should be at father's side with Harry Potter as my husband.

A/N: Ok I thought it was time to make this story a little darker and who is better to darken a story then good old Voldemort and the ever popular Wormtail? And yes Voldemort's daughter is the one who was spying on Harry and Hermione at the dance, but I am still not saying who she is. Ha-Ha. Hey author's privilege. Please read and review.
