Author Note: Hi! I'll make the RaR before the chapter, since I have a few things to clarify with some people. So there is the 3rd chapter! I'm doing my end of semesters exams in English; I had the grammar and vocabulary ones today! Next week it's the written production (opinion essay) and the week after it's the Reading and Listening Comprehensions!
And well, I'm sorry for the Kate-Ariane thing, but Ariane is more a French name than Kate and I changed my mind while writing the first chapter, so her name is Ariane Toulouse and not Kate White.

RaR:
Tigris T Draconis: Oh yes thanks for the new-news lol and the "s" at the end of Hair, it's quite the same thing in French "cheveux" is an invariable word, you say un "cheveux" and des "cheveux", so, I can understand that it's the same thing in English, well, in French, the word is already plural, even if there is only one!
Phoebe666: Thanks for the review! I'm glad you like it!
Coolwhip0306: Thanks. Well, it's more like: Salut! J'adore ce que tu écris, continues à écrire! Well, it's quite good for someone who is only beginning French. I'm sure that I wasn't that good when I was beginning to learn English!
Legolas4542: Well, I'm sorry for you, but here, it's you who have mistakes! Dumbledore WAS headmaster in the Marauders school years. Well, I've got a chronology who is contradicting the 5th book, but I'm sure that Mcgonagall WAS still the transfiguration teacher see the 5th book page 287 of Bloomsbury, Raincoast Edition, she's been teaching Transfiguration for 39 years in the December of 1995. And well, you know, after 40 it's rare for a woman to have children (I'm talking about Lily having Harry here)! We know that James and Lily were relatively young, about 20 years old when they had Harry and that Harry was born in 1980, so, if Mcgonagall was the Transfiguration teacher, I suppose that it was because Dumbledore became the Headmaster, because we do know that he was transfiguration Teacher with Dippet as Headmaster (for that, I'm ok with you). Well, you're the first person I see, all languages confounded, who thinks that Dumbledore wasn't the Headmaster in the Marauders time! And then, another proof is that it's said, in the 3rd book, I think, that it was Dumbledore who accepted Remus at Hogwarts, even with his Werewolf condition. Well, you really should know that Dumby was the headmaster lol! If you see all the other Marauders Fanfictions, you'll see that in all of them, Dumby is the Headmaster! And it's Dumby who planted the Whomping Willow for Remus!
And for the spelling mistakes, I'll check that. Well, even in French, I'm making some, so … lol! Well, thanks to say that to me!
And well for the Witch-which thing, it depends on what you're talking about! If it's which like: Which music do you prefer, then you're right. If you're talking about: Lily is the first WITCH in the Evans family, then you've got the mistake (yes it's witch, and if you think it's which, check in a dictionary, you'll see that it's witch (otherwise, my text editor will show me that I've got a mistake (a grammar or a vocabulary one)))! So you'll have to specify the context!
Doumby: Yes, I'm proud of myself for that! It'll help you with your English! Bon, me vla qui te répond en anglais maintenant ! Tk, ça va pouvoir t'aider ma chtite doumby ! Et puis, comme je te l'ai dit sur MSN, ton anglais est pas si mal que ça ;-)

Chapter 3: Full Moon, Exams and Revenge
The weeks passed by, with the classes, discussions, animagus training,… Harry was beginning to know his parents better; he was talking regularly to Lily and learned that the only thing that made her not accept the propositions of James to go out with him was what Harry told him. She thinks that he is quite pretty and liked him, but them,… He learned that she liked Remus, in the friend way, he wasn't like the other Marauders, yes he was doing pranks with them and all, but he wasn't hexing everyone everywhere every time and things like that. He also discovered that Alice was still going out with Franck and that Amy had a crush on Sirius and that Sirius had a crush on her, also that Maggy had a crush on Remus and that he had a crush on her, but that he wasn't able to say it to her, what with him being a werewolf? What will be her reaction?
Harry and Ariane were now controlling completely their animagus transformations, Ariane was a cougar. Ron and Hermione were very near the complete control, they knew their animagus, Ron was a fox and Hermione was an eagle. It was now the full moon eve. They were practising animagus transformations for Ron and Hermione. Ron was returning to himself, he had managed to transform completely, but his transformations were too slow.
"Ron, you're very near it! Hermione, let's try again!"
She concentrated and immediately turned into a beautiful eagle, then she transformed back into herself.
"You have it Herm! Let's go Ron, you'll have it this time!" said Harry.
Ron concentrated and turned immediately into a fox who smiled, then turned back into Ron.
"I made it! Well, I think we're ready for tomorrow now!" The others approved.
Next morning they woke up excited with the coming night, luckily, it was Friday, so they'll be able to sleep. Remus was in the hospital wing. They were barely listening in classes, well, Hermione was still listening, Hermione will always be Hermione. Harry was now Padwolfe, Ron was Redfire, Hermione was Blueclaws and Ariane was Wildfastcat (na: well, I'm very poor at inventing names!).
After classes they played chess and exploding cards and continued after dinner. When the sun was completely gone, they went to bed, took the 2 invisibility cloaks, put them on themselves then went to the park, luckily, someone entered the Common Room when they were going out of the portrait hole. They joined the Whomping Willow, peter transformed and press on the root to stop the tree. Then they went in the passage to the Shrieking Shack and joined Remus upstairs, in their Animagus form, waiting for the werewolf to transform. When the moon appeared, it began. Harry wasn't prepared to what he saw. They heard him scream in pain, then it was finished, they let the time to the wolf to acclimate with the 3 new animals, then went out in the Hogwarts grounds.
Harry, Remus and Sirius played some times, making some friendly battles, then they went into the forest. The Marauders showed them a lot of spots. Harry saw a very beautiful and romantic one, so he promised himself to bring Ariane there sometime. They visited also Hogsmeade when they knew that there won't be any dangers for the villagers. Then they returned to the Shrieking Shack, then went back to their dormitories.
The morning after, Harry woke up at 9 o'clock with a Phoenix perched at the end of his bed, he looked like Fawkes. He wondered why he was there, then saw something on the Phoenix legs. He took it and saw that it was addressed to him, Ron, Hermione and Ariane. He woke Ron up, then they went to the common room, luckily, Ariane and Hermione were up too. They went to breakfast, then to the Room of Requirement. Harry opened the envelope, there was 4 pieces of paper, when he saw the date on the corner of one of the letters, he smiled, it was dated: May 20th 1997
"Well, I think we've got some news of our time!"
He opened the first letter, it was from Dumbledore. He put it, open, on a table, so the others can read it too.
"Hi Ariane, Hermione, Harry and Ron,
I hope you're glad to have some news from here. Yes, I know you're in the past, in 1977. I remembered of Ariane Toulouse, Hermione Granger, Ronald Williams and Harry François some time ago and made the link. Fawkes is a special Phoenix, he can travel in the time and the space. Though, you can't come back here with him it's too dangerous. The fourth letter is for the Dumbledore of the time where you are.
Here, it's like normal, everyone is fine and Voldemort continues to attack. The other letters are from Ginny and Remus.
We're working on finding a way to have you back here.
Answer us quickly, we want to know how you're doing! And don't forget to give the 4th letter to Dumbledore! Hagrid, Hermione's and Ariane's parents and the teachers (yes, even Snape!) great you, I think Ginny will give you news about the Weasley family in her letter.
And what about your Animagus training?
My compliments,
Albus Dumbledore"
Harry opened the second letter, it was from Ginny Weasley.
"Hi brother, Harry, Hermione and Ariane.
Here, all things are fine. Mum, dad and the rest of the family great you and are doing well. I'm studying for my O.W.L.s who are taking place in about 2 weeks, I hope I'll do fine! It's a bit boring here since you've gone. I was looking for my 7th year without you, but then, … Cousin Algie is coming next year, well, at least, I won't be the only Weasley left in the castle! But well, it's not the same thing without you hanging around.
I suppose Harry is happy to see his parents and Sirius again! I hope he's taking the chance to know them better. And he doesn't have to worry about You-know-who being after him anymore there, he's not the "boy who lived" there.
Well, enjoy the "holidays" you have and have great times! I can't wait to see you back here!
And what about your Animagus training? Mine is going well, I'm transforming quite easily now. Oh and by the way, I'm a white rabbit.
I'm sending you a picture of all of us, including Ariane, taken after the snowball fight on Christmas day this year, another picture of you with Remus and all of us, minus Ariane, with Sirius. Also a picture of you three with Hagrid, hey, if you can send me a picture of you with the Marauders it would be great! And maybe one with your mother and her friends (Neville will love to see his parents when they were his age!)
Kiss!
Ginny Weasley
P.S.: Is Harry finally going out with Ariane? And Hermione and Ron?"
At this, Hermione and Ron blushed. Attached with the letter was a picture of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ariane, Remus, Ginny, Neville and Luna in front of Hogwarts, another one with Harry, Ron, Hermione, Tonks, Remus, Mondingus, Dumbledore, Ginny and most of the Weasley family in the backyard of 12 Grimmauld Place, another one with Harry, Ron, Hermione and Hagrid in their 4th year. Then, Harry put out the 3rd letter, from Remus.
"Hi you all!
How are you doing? For me, I'm doing fine, like everyone else here. So it's you Harry François, Ronald Williams, Ariane Toulouse and Hermione Granger? I should've guessed it before. Dumbledore must have put a Memory Charm on us when you went back here.
So, if I remember you back there, I don't have to worry that you'll take the chance you have to know your parents Harry, and to see Sirius again. I'm also happy to tell you that we caught Pettigrew and that Sirius is cleared, he can finally rest in peace. Harry smiled at this
Talking about Pettigrew, I remind you to keep still with him and don't say anything about the future.
You must've met with Maggy and Amy? Well, they moved to America some times after Sirius was sent to Azkaban, so it's why you never heard of them. But still, they're back here, what with the clearing of Sirius and all? Well, they say hello to you four, they remember you as well as I remember you back at our times at Hogwarts. You'll have the occasion to meet them again when you come back. Maggy and I are still going out again. Amy is trying to pass through the death of Sirius, as am I and Maggy, I wish that this little time-travel will gives you the chance to past through it yourselves, especially Harry. Well, I know that we won't be going out with them for some times (NA: he's talking about the Marauders time here), but then, I think you guessed that it will happen.
As Dumbledore said, we're trying to find a way to have you back here. But, if I remember, you stayed for a long time with us, so enjoy yourselves!
We will give you news frequently and if something important happens with Voldemort or anything else that involves any of us, we will let you know as soon as possible. We will send you Ginny's results for her O.W.L.s as soon as she gets them.
Have a good time!
Kiss!
Remus Lupin"
They smiled at each other. Then, some pieces of parchment appeared, along with a bottle of ink and a quill, thanks to the Room of Requirement. They began to answer.
"May 19th, 1977 (NA: well, the letters from the others weren't written in the middle of the night!)
Hi professor Dumbledore,
We are doing fine here. The Marauders are just very fine with us and we're now part of them. Were enjoying ourselves here, even if we miss you all back in 1997. We're glad to have some news from the future. Harry have plenty of times to know his parents better, as long to see and talk with Sirius and Remus.
We're glad to see that everyone is fine!
Great Hermione's and Ariane's parents, Hagrid and the other teachers for us! And if you could great Parvati Patil, Lavender Brown, Seamus Finnigan, Luna Lovegood, Dean Thomas and Neville Longbottom for us, it would be great!
We will give the 4th letter to Dumbledore.
Answer us regularly, it's really good to have some news!
And we won't tell anyone about the future, don't worry.
As for our Animagus training, it's complete. We will let you the surprise when we come back!
Yours sincerely,
Hermione Granger
Harry Potter
Ariane Toulouse
Ronald Weasley"
"Hi little Sister! Hi Gin,
We are glad to see that the family and everyone are doing fine. We wish you good luck for your O.W.L.s in two weeks. Here the classes are good and the exams are coming soon also, even if they're not as important as the O.W.L.s and the N.E.W.T.s. We miss you all too! But we have a good time with the Marauders. We'll have plenty of pranks to tell you when we come back. We're planning on a revenge on Umbridge for the end of the year feast. She's in Gryffindor, in 6th year, and, well, it's not surprising, but almost all people here don't like her.
As for your two P.S. questions, Harry and Ariane are going out, for about 2 weeks and a half now, well, in fact, since May first, but Hermione and Ron aren't going out yet.
For our Animagus training, we are all done yet. Harry is a Husky, Hermione is an Eagle, Ron is a Fox and Ariane is a Cougar. And still, we are real Marauders now. Harry is Padwolfe, Ron is Redfire, Hermione is Blueclaws and Ariane is Wildfastcat.
We are all happy to see the Marauders here and Harry his happy to be a normal boy for once in his life.
Well, I think we should go, because the Marauders are entering the Room of Requirement at the time I'm writing that. Talking about that, they know that James is my father and Sirius is my mother, they guessed it, overhearing the first discussion we four had in this time, about 5 minutes after we were here. They also know that I look exactly like James (a mistake of Harry while transforming back to himself after his first try to transform in his Animagus form) and they know James is dead, well, another mistake of Harry, talking about his Patronus form. James just figured that the thing Harry said looked like he was dead. Well, we didn't tell them any more information about the future. Harry was able to change his eyes before James could notice them, so he don't know that you know who I'm talking about is his mother, well, Remus and Sirius saw them, but then, Harry wants James to discover it himself.
Inform us on anything new in our time! Greats the Gryffindors for us.
Greats your and Ron's family for us! Ron want to tell your mother to don't worry about us, that we are fine, tell the twins that we are with the Marauders, they'll really be jealous, then tell us about their reactions in your next letter, maybe they can put a word themselves in it? Tell them that we will tell them full of tricks from the Marauders and a lot of pranks they made and that we will be making with them, including the future revenge on Umbridge, we will give you three, more information about it after the end of the year feast. I wish they could've been here with us. Talking about them, how is their Joke's shop doing?
Thanks for the pictures! We will send you the two pictures you asked for and ask Franck if he can be in the picture with Alice, they're already going out together you know? And if I can get James and Lily to be in the same room at the same time without yelling at each other, maybe I'll can take a picture of our friend Lily too with Maggy, Amy and Alice, so a big picture. Since James don't know who is my mother yet,…
JP-"Hey, you know, I'm here! I'm offended!"
HP-"Well, in fact yes, we know, but you know, you're not supposed to read the mail of other people! And you know that it's true that you and Lily are not able to see each other!"
JP-"Hey, I can be in a room with Evans without yelling at her."
HP,AT,HG,RW,RL,PP,SB-"Oh yes? We'll want to see it then! Prove it!"
SB-"Hey is that what I'll be looking like in your time? And why I'm not on that one?"
RL-"Guys, Harry's right, we're not supposed to read their mail!
Well, that was all of us! To see who is who, just see the initials. I think we should end this letter now, we've got pictures to take and a letter to Remus to make! Answer soon!
Kiss!
The Infernal Quartet!"
"Finally! So, will you answer our questions? That sister of you looks pretty good you know Ron?" asked James. Ron blushed. "And that girl too! That one looks special with her hair changing every time."
"Well, Ginny is already going out with someone, a Gryffindor in our dormitory. As for the other girl, she's in Ravenclaw, in the same year than Ginny who is her 5th year her name is Luna Lovegood and really special. The other one is Nymphadora Tonks who prefer to be called Tonks, she's your cousin Andromeda daughter Sirius. She's a Metamorphmagus, she was the one who showed Harry how to control it."
Sirius nodded. "Yes, she's already born, a year or so ago."
"And as for Sirius not being in that picture, you know pretty well that we can't tell you. And yes this is you Sirius, and this is Remus, and this is Albus Dumbledore and Hagrid. I'm sorry, we don't have any pictures of Peter. And I hope you didn't read Remus's letter."
The Marauders shook their heads. In fact, Remus had put a special charm on his letter so that only Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ariane could read it. Harry thought of a camera and one appeared. For the other pictures, he can borrow the camera Dumbledore gave them with their school things so they can bring some souvenirs back in their time.
"Is that your family Ron? There's only one girl plus your mother? All redheads? And that's the famous twins, I guess!" asked James while Ron nodded.
Harry put the camera on a able while the others were sitting on and in front of a couch, he adjusted it, started to automatic button, then went to sit with the other. The picture was taken. The development was automatic too. Harry duplicated it two times so he could send one to Remus too and to conserve one for them.
"Ok, now we have to find my mum and her friends. Remus, Sirius, I hope you'll get James away from where we would be while taking the picture!" said Harry. The two nodded.
The Marauders stayed in the Room of Requirement, playing games of Chess and Exploding Snap while Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ariane took out the Marauders map, opened it and searched for Lily Evans, Maggy Handsom, Amy Angel and Alice Prewett. They were in the common room. They went to the portrait hole, said the password and entered. Then they headed to Lily and her friends.
"Hi you four!" said Lily.
"Can I make a picture with all of us? And with Franck, if it's possible? It's because we've got some letters from our friends from France and they want pictures of us and our friends here," asked Harry.
"Sure you can! Franck, can you come here a moment please?" Franck joined them and a Gryffindor took the picture in the Common Room, in front of the fire, Alice and Franck, Harry and Ariane hand in hand.
"Hum, I would want to take a picture of all of you together, with the Marauders, if it's possible? I know that Lily and James are well…"
"Well, maybe I can do it for you Harry, if Potter is ok with me too."
Harry nodded then said that he'll meet them in front of the castle in 10 minutes then headed to the Room of Requirement.
"Ok, Lily and the girls accepted to take a picture with all of us. But James, you'll have to be good to Lily, she'll be good with you if you're good with her."
James nodded and they joined the front of the castle. They took the picture there, then they went back to the Great Hall for Dinner (yes it was already dinner time!) After dinner, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ariane wrote a letter to Remus, joined the pictures with Remus' and Ginny' letters, attached them to Fawkes legs. The Phoenix disappeared after that
Four weeks had passed. It was the first morning of exams. They had Defence Against the Dark Arts first (DADA), it went very well for all of them. They were asked some revising questions about the other years and some of this year, then they had the practice exam that went pretty well. They had to fight with some creatures and then they had to duel against another student.
The day after, Hermione had Arithmancy and Ancient Runes Exams, these were only theory ones, so the others had there day free. They went out of the castle to study for the next exams and play a bit.
Wednesday they had Charms exams. It went pretty well, as the DADA exams. Thursday was the Divination and Muggle Studies exams, so they all had a free day to study and have some fun. The sun was shining outside.
Friday they had their Potions Exams. That went well, for Harry didn't have Snape as a teacher to bother him again, his notes in potions were going up. On the weekend, there was another full moon. They visited the forest again and enjoyed themselves. Then, they studied for their last exams: Wandless Magic, Transfiguration and Care of Magical Creatures. On Monday morning it was Care of magical creatures, they done well, considering the fact that it wasn't Hagrid who was teaching, they had creatures less dangerous. In the afternoon it was History of magic so they had the afternoon free to practise and study. On Tuesday they had transfiguration in which Harry and Ron had really improved. In the evening they studied for their last exam: Wandless Magic that will be taking place the next afternoon.
It was the most difficult one. You need to have great powers to be able to use Wandless Magic for other than simple spells. Harry, James and Ariane were now able to use the Summoning Charm perfectly. The exam went well, it was based on what you can do with you're powers and what you've learned for now.
After that final exam, they were free to hang out of the castle in the beautiful sunshine. The term wasn't ending since one week, so they had plenty of times to plan their revenge on Umbridge. Ginny had written back to them to tell them that her O.W.L.s went well and to thank them for the pictures. She said that she will tell Fred and George during the summer holidays when she comes back at The Burrow. She'll be writing again when her O.W.L.s results will come. They told her that they were going at Godric's Hollow with Sirius, James and Remus for the summer holidays, since she was worrying about where they would be staying during the holidays.
Finally, the last day of the term arrived. During the day, they prepared the things for the prank. All students were wondering what they were preparing for their habitual end of term prank. They will be doing a little prank over other students, most in Slytherin, but Umbridge will get the worse.
Finally, the evening arrived. They headed to the great hall where they sat at the Gryffindor table. Then, Dumbledore stood up and the hall became quiet.
"Good evening. This is the end of another marvellous year at Hogwarts. Before the feast begins, we have to give the house cup! In 3rd place, Ravenclaw with 312 points. In 4th place, with 345 points, Hufflepuff. In second place, with 413 points, Slytherin! And, with 510 points, Gryffindor wins the House cup! Felicitation Gryffindor!"
It was the party at the Gryffindor table.
"Yes, yes, congratulation. Now, we close another year and let the feast begin!"
It was the signal, and, with a move of the wands of our 8 friends a lot of laughing began through the Great Hall. Umbridge had now a real toad face and a lot of students had ears, or other characteristics of some animals. Umbridge couldn't talk anymore, only make sounds like "croa, croa" (well, like a toad Oo) She was now part-human, part-toad, a thing that she hated, a Hybrid. And the effects would be removed automatically only the tomorrow evening, well, in the case of Umbridge. For the other students, the effects will end in a couple of hours. They ate and then returned to Gryffindor tower. They made their trunks and packed their belongings. After that, tey discussed and went to sleep.
The next morning, they were now on the Hogwarts Express, returning to London for their last summer holidays during their studies at Hogwarts.
