Chapter 2: Classes, Training, Planning on Summer Holidays and Revenge
Harry woke up early the next morning, the others were still asleep. He checked his watch (witch he had changed since the second task of the Triwizard Tournament), it was 5 o'clock. He knew that he won't be able to fell asleep again, so he got up, took a shower, get dressed and went into the common room. There was already someone there, sitting on a couch by the fire. He sat in a couch too and observed the other person; it was a beautiful girl, tall, with beautiful brown hair and dark blue eyes that give her a mysterious sight. He had seen her with his mother at the dinner so he guessed that it was a friend of her.
"Hum, hum," said Harry in a way that looked so like Umbridge that he had to suppress a laugh. "Hi!"
"Hi!" said the girl, turning around so she was face to face with him. "You're one of the new students, no? Harry, it's that?" Harry nodded.
"I'm Maggy Handsom. I'm one of Lily Evan's friends; I know you met her yesterday at the dinner. I'm also in sixth year."
"I'm delight…"
"Hum, hum!" said a too familiar unpleasant childish voice behind him. Harry jumped and turned so quickly that he had an ache in his neck. Then he saw her: he'll never forget that toad like face. 'Oh no, not her!' thought Harry.
"Yes?" said Harry.
"Well hi! My name is Dolores Umbridge (I think you guessed that! She's in Gryffindor only because it could be funny to have her there and easier if I want to make a revenge on her). I'm also in 6th year."
"Well, pleased to meet you," Harry lied. In the back of his mind he promised himself to tell Ron and Hermione and to make her pay for what she had done in his 5th year.
"So… I'm going to the Great Hall for breakfast!" said Umbridge and she went out of the portrait hole.
"You made a very funny face when you saw her… well, I don't blame you, we don't really like her, you know, she's very arrogant and all…"
"Well, maybe it was her childish voice or her toad-like face," Harry lied, well in fact that wasn't really a lie, it was just a part of the truth.
"Yes, maybe …"
At that moment, three girls came down of the stairs to the girls dormitories. He recognized his mother as one of them, but the other two were familiar too, he was sure to have seen it somewhere in his time, but where? Maybe in the photo album Hagrid gave him in his first year?"
"Hi Maggy, hi Harry, oh Harry, may I introduce you to Alice Prewett and Amy Angel?" said Lily. Then it clicked, Alice was Neville's mother. Neville looked a lot like her.
"So… I think we will get to breakfast. See you later!" said Maggy.
When they were gone, Harry sat again in the couch and stared in the fire. A moment later he saw Hermione and Ariane coming down from their dormitory and a second later, Ron appeared too.
« Salut! Hey, devinez qui je viens de voir? Dolores Ombrage en personne ! Elle va être en cours avec nous, elle est en 6e année, » said Harry. (Hi! Hey guess who I just saw? Dolores Umbridge herself! She will be in classes with us, she's in 6th year too!)
« Pas cette… » (Not that…), began Ron, but he was cut off by a sound coming from the stairs to the boys dormitories. A moment later, the Marauders appeared and greeted them.
"I have to talk to the seven of you, about something. So, say we go to the kitchens at lunch, take some food, then go to the Room of Requirement, ok?" asked Harry.
"Ok!" said the others in unison, then they went to the Great Hall for breakfast. They sat at the Gryffindor table, then began to est. Moments later, McGonagall came to them and gave them their timetables. They were beginning in Defence Against the Dark Arts, then they had Potions. Since it was the N.E.W.T.s classes, so you chose your classes, the houses were all mixed. So, after breakfast they went in their dormitories to take their things for Defence and Potions, then headed to the defence classroom. They sat down at the front of the class with the Marauders; there were only a couple of students from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff in the room already. Then the door opened again and some Slytherins came in. Harry recognized Snape.
"Hey look, it's Snape coming there," muttered Harry so only Ariane, Ron, Hermione and the Marauders can hear him.
"You know Snivellus?" asked James, lowering his voice too.
"Well, unfortunately yes, he's the Potions Master in our time!"
"Oh! No luck!"
"No, in fact he hates me and he hates the Gryffindors and favour the Slytherins since he's also the head of this house."
The professor entered at this moment, so they stopped their talking. The professor was brown-haired and blue-eyed. She wasn't tall, but she wasn't short.
"Hi! We have four new students in the class. Can I see you before lunch, I think you've got a free period, so I can see where you are in defence?"
Ariane, Ron, Hermione and Harry nodded.
"Ok, so, I'm professor Harries. We were starting on Patronus today, I don't know if you saw it already?"
"Well, in fact, I learned it in my 3rd year from my defence teacher outside classes, since there was Dementors at the Entrances of the School Grounds (I won't tell you the reason why they were there that year) and they seamed to love me (laughing in the class). And in my 5th year, we had a very bad defence teacher and, well … Hermione proposed that I gave defence classes in secret to some students and I taught them the Patronus Charm," said Harry. He looked to Ariane, asking silently if she had learned it and she nodded, understanding the silent question.
"Can you make a demonstration then, please?" asked Professor Harries.
They nodded, took their wand and headed to the front of the class, Harry winked to his father. The he thought about him, about having the chance to know him and his mother and to see his godfather again, thinking about the Marauders. Then he said with the others:
"Spero Patronum."
A silver stag, a silver unicorn, a silver eagle and a silver fox came out of the four wands, stayed there for some time, then disappeared.
"Good! 50 points for Gryffindor."
They walked back to their seats. Harry shot a look at his father to say to him silently that they would discuss about the form of his Patronus later.
"Now, can someone tell me what does that charm does and what it is? Mrs Evans?"
"The Patronus Charm is a shape made of pure happiness and hope that the Dementors will eat instead of your own happiness moments. The form that it takes is different for each person. Generally the thing in what you put all your hopes and happiness. When it's full shaped and powerful, it can throw away the Dementors, but when there is hundred and hundred of them, the Patronus have to be very very powerful, a lot of fully trained wizards are not able to put it. You have to have a big force of mind to put it in front of real Dementors and to fight the effects of them. You have to think of a very happy and strong good memory and say "Spero Patronum" to cast it. Stronger the moment is, stronger the Patronus is."
"Very good Mrs. Evans. 15 points for Gryffindor, Now, let's try it. I'm warning you that I doubt that any of you will be able to make one this lesson and that it's very different in front of real Dementors. We will divide in five groups."
So, they divided into groups, the professor, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ariane helping one of the groups each. After the lesson, they went to the dungeons for their Potions class. They sat down at their habitual seats at the back of the class, Harry with Ariane, Ron with Hermione, James with Sirius, Remus with Maggy, Lily with Amy, Alice with a boy Harry suspected to be Frank Longbottom, Neville's father and Peter with a boy from Ravenclaw. The teacher entered the room a moment later and the class felt silent. He looked strict, but not the way Snape is.
"Hi! I know that there are four new students in this class, so I'll present myself. I'm professor Harny (AN: me and the names!). I'm warning you to not disturb this class, and while you're working, to talk only about Potions and only to your partner, and I'm speaking French, so don't try that! I'll ask you some questions to see a bit of your level in Potions."
He asked the four young people some basic questions about Potions, then they began to make a Potions that wasn't too difficult, well, in fact, Snape had make them make the Potions the year before.
After the class, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ariane headed to the Defence room again, they found Professor Harries sitting at her desk.
"Hi! Come here, we will start with some defence spell demonstrating. We will begin with the Expelliarmus." She waved her wand and the desks vanished and cushions appeared on the walls and the floor. "Harry with Ariane and Ron with Hermione."
"Expelliarmus!" shouted Harry and Ron together. The wands of the two girls flew away, they caught them (Harry and Ron) and the two girls flied around the room to land on cushions. It continued like that for an hour or so, then they went to the Entrance Hall where they joined the Marauders, then they all went to the kitchens where to house-elves bring them things to eat and drink, then they headed to the Room of Requirement. The room was exactly like the last time they went there, the day before. They sat down on a couch.
"Ok so, you know Dolores Umbridge?" The Marauders nodded. "Ok, at the end of my 4th year something important happened but the ministry didn't believed me. Dumbledore couldn't find a defence teacher, so the ministry sent Umbridge who was Senior Undersecretary for the minister. But she would only teach us theory, we couldn't do magic in her class …" then Harry explained what Umbridge had made to him and some of his friends.
"The horrible woman. It's very illegal to use that quill. And all the things she made to you!" said James. "So… I guess you want us to help you to make a little revenge on her?" Harry, Ron and Hermione nodded. "Ok, so we will have to think about it. Maybe we can do it at the End of the Year Feast." They all approved. "Now, you won't tell who your mother is, hum?" Harry shook his head.
"No. But I can tell you some things I know from the older Remus and Sirius." James nodded. "Ok, first you'll begin to go out with her next school year. I don't know when in the year, but I know it was in your seventh year. I won't tell you in what house she's in, but I'll reassure you in telling you she's not in Slytherin. To have her heart, you'll have to make some sacrifices, like stopping hexing everyone, everywhere, every time for no reason, and no, to live or to be a Slytherin, to be a slimy git or whatelse reason like that are not reasons. You can defend yourself or your friends or people if there is the need, but don't start the battle. You'll have to take your responsibilities and be more mature. Oh, I know, a Marauder will always be a Marauder, but stop focusing on the same persons. Think about it this summer. I want to exist!" the last sentence made the others laugh. James nodded.
"And what about your Patronus form? You that it's the…"
"The exact form of your animagus, yes, I know, Lupin told me when he saw my Patronus, well, in fact, he was the defence teacher in my third year who taught me it." The Marauders laughed at the idea of Remus teaching and Remus looked surprised. "I don't know why it's your animagus form, but it's Prongs! Like Remus said a night in my 3rd year: maybe Prongs was there with us again, and that Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail and Prongs were all there that night, reunited again for a full moon!" The others looked surprised. Harry kicked himself, he had said too much.
"What does that mean? That the Marauders were reunited again?"
"Hum, I don't think I should tell you that, I've already said too much! If I say further, it can play on the future."
"Well, it sounded like I was dead!" said James. Harry shot a sad look at his father and looked at his feet.
"Well, that's a choc! Well, I'm sorry Harry." He leaned towards him and hugged him. 'Well, Sirius don't know that he'll die 2 years after that! It's a start.' He chose to say the truth, well a part of it, to his father, he suspected that Dumbledore will modify their memories when they will return to their time. "Well, if I'm that sad, it's because I barely had the time to know you, I only have a few things and that is to say not the happiest ones. Well, I still have the you-know-what, Remus gave it to me at my last birthday, but since the others are not supposed to know about it, I can't talk about it. You died when I was only 1 year and 3 months exactly old, well, on Halloween 31st, I'm telling you the date, because you'll guess it when you'll know the date of my Birthday, by the hands of Voldemort, trying to save me. I won't tell you the rest of the story. Don't worry, Sirius made a good godfather job and was like the father I practically never had, and Remus was nice too, they told me some things about you and your years at Hogwarts. I wish I could have known you more, but now, I have the chance and I'm really happy to have it!"
James nodded, understanding, then hugged his future son again. He was a bit shocked, in two days he learned that he had a son who was his age and that he'll die in a little more than 5 years, because with what they had said, he came to the conclusion that they'll be born around 1980, he'll only be 21 at his death! Well, he promised himself to take care of the 5 next years and to have fun with his friends and family. He also promised himself to pass more time with Harry until he return to his time.
"I'm sorry James," said Harry suddenly.
"You don't have to be sorry. Yes, I'll die in a little more than 5 years and I'll only be 21 at that time, but I'm happy (AN: well, I think you guess what sense of happy here!) to know that I'll be killed by Voldemort himself, trying to protect you and your mom, instead to be killed by one of his deatheaters. I wish you could've known me more. For what I saw, you're a lot like me. And I promise you to pass more time with you until you return to your time, so you can know better your father!" Harry nodded and made a small smile to his father, then hugged him.
"Well… now, what are you going to do on summer holidays?" asked James.
Harry stopped to laugh, they didn't think about that!
"Well, … maybe you can come over my place for the summer, mum already invited Remus and Sirius, Peter is going on a trip with his father. Still, the majority of us will be 17 at the end of July, I think, so… well, talking about that, when is your birthdays?"
"Hermione's on September 19th so she won't be 17 until we return to Hogwarts. Ron's on March 1st so he's already 17, for Ariane she's on June 25ft (AN: My Birthday :D) and I'm on July 31st," said Harry.
"Hey, just like me! I'm also on July 31st (AN: what, my boyfriend's birthday is on the same day as his father's (September 1st the two of them!), so why not:-P)! Sirius's on…"
"July 29th, I know, he told me, and Remus's on May 21st (AN: my best friend's one!). So we will have to celebrate 3 birthdays at the same time! But we will have to talk about it to Dumbledore before. We will go after classes." The others nodded, than continued to talk about nothing and everything.
After classes, Harry, Ariane, Ron and Hermione headed to the stone gargoyle that guarded Dumbledore's office, they said the password and climbed on the moving stairs, then knocked on the door. Someone told them to enter, so they do. They sat on chairs before Dumbledore's desk.
"Hi professor, we wanted to talk to you about summer holidays. James invited us to his home and we wanted to know of that causes any problems?" asked Harry.
"Oh, no! No problems at all, just be aware not to say anything about the future to your grand-parents Harry! I figure that the Marauders already know?"
"Well, they figured it out by themselves, they know our real names, James know that he's my father, but don't know who is my mother and Sirius know that he's my godfather. The rest, they guessed it. But maybe you're better to put a memory charm on them when we will return back to our time." Dumbledore nodded.
"So… thanks professor, goodbye!" And they went out of the office to the Room of Requirement, they needed to work on their animagus. They started to concentrate, in an hour or so, they'll be ready to begin the transformation part. An hour later, the marauders entered the room, just as the four others were going out of their trance.
"Hey guys, what are you doing? The map told us there was someone in the room."
"We're working on our animagus, we're now ready to begin the transformation part. You can help us," Harry said.
"Well, you have to do this part by part. Concentrate on your animal part, then on each part of your body, turn by turn. Harry, begin, try on your legs."
Harry concentrated, they didn't know what their animal was yet, they will know only by the transformations. Their bodies have been preparing, muscles growing and all to receive the animal. A second after concentrating, he felt his legs changing. He looked down at them, they were now covered in pale-grey, practically white hairs. "I'll try on my arms!" The others nodded, seeing that he didn't seem to have any difficulties. He concentrated again. His arms were now also covered with the same very pale-grey hairs. "Maybe I have a nail? I'll try on." He concentrated and a nail of the same hair color appeared.
"Hey, you're very quick, I didn't managed that on the first try!" said James, impress.
"Oh! But I think I'm ok to continue with the body part." He put his front legs on the floor and concentrated again. His body changed to a dog-like body with the same hair color. He decided to concentrate to change the last part and the most difficult: his head. After a few seconds he had now a wolf-dog-like face. His eyes were his emerald green ones, so, his characteristic was that he conserved his real eyes. He looked to Ron, Hermione and Ariane, trying to have a sign of them to know if they can see his scar. They shook their head, he felt relieved. He transformed back to himself.
The Marauders gasped. He thought about a mirror and one appeared (Room of Requirement!), he looked in it and kicked himself, he had forgotten to think to return to the appearance Dumbledore gave him. Luckily, he learned that he was a metamorphmagus last summer and Tonks taught him how to control it, so he changed at least his eyes for the moment, unfortunately, Remus and Sirius had seen them, James was too preoccupied by the fact that he looked just exactly like him to see it. He glanced at Remus and Sirius shooting them a glance that said 'Don't say anything to James." The last came out of his stupor and asked:
"So, it's what you really look like?"
"Yes, well, I changed the color of my eyes, because I have my mother's eyes." He winked to Remus and Sirius who grinned in putting all that together. "I'm a metamorphmagus," he added, seeing the confusing expression on the Marauders face.
"You could pass for my twin! You look exactly like me! And what's the answer for the summer holidays?"
"It's ok, but you have to keep our real identity from your parents James." James nodded. "So, you didn't tell me what's my animagus form exactly? I guess it's something like a dog or like a wolf."
"Well, in fact, it's the mix of the two, you're a Husky dog, or, if you prefer, a wolf-dog," Hermione said. Harry knew what was a Husky, he grown up in the muggle world, but the others didn't know what it was. Harry loved this kind of dog.
"Well, I think we should go to dinner, I'm hungry," Ron said. "We should continue after."
"Hum, I have to talk with Ariane, we will join you after in the Great Hall," Harry said. The others nodded with an amused smile, Ron winked to Harry then they went out of the room.
Harry was nervous, he wanted to ask her out, he loved her since a long time now. He concentrated and some couches appeared in the room. He invited her to sit in one and sat down beside her, he was red in the face, he knew it. Their eyes met, he was hypnotized by them. Their heads approached and their lips touched. Harry backed away.
"Sorry…" he said, but she kissed him again in a more passionate kiss, before he had the time to finish the word.
"Ariane, will you go out with me?" he asked.
"Yes Harry! I love you Harry."
"I love you too Ariane," Harry smiled then kissed her again.
"We're better go to the Great Hall, I think, before the others make some ideas…" He took her hand, helped her up, changed back into the appearance Dumbledore gave him, then they went to the Great Hall, hand in hand, they joined the other who were grinning, seeing them hand in hand.
"Well, it was time you two!" Harry shot an amused look at his new girlfriend, then returned to Ron.
"I think you don't have to talk about it, Ronald Williams!" Ron reddened. Harry knew that his bestfriend had a crush on Hermione for a long time now, but he (Ron) didn't had the courage to say it to her yet.
