Summary: In the end of Harry Potter's fifth year, he saw the painful death of his beloved Godfather, Sirius Black. He also saw the woman who killed him…his cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange. Sirius was both a father (in a way) and a best friend. Now all that has gone and faded away because of her. Now in his sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry is finally getting revenge.

Disclaimer: Well, I can honestly think I have an original idea here, but it all originates from JKR's brilliance. So, yet again I must face the horrible truth and say that she is the mastermind behind the success of Harry Potter. You people know how to break someone down.

Getting Revenge

Chapter 4: A Very Marauder-ish Entrance: Part I

Previously On Getting Revenge:

Remus just nodded and said, "No Problem!" and apparated with a pop to Harry's flat, got his Hogwarts' trunk and sent them to Albus by floo powder, then apparated to the Ministry of Magic's Auror Headquarters.

A few hours later, the marauders and Harry got a bit hungry and went down to the kitchens to get food and talk to the house elves. They all got spaghetti and settled into their respective dormitories…at first. Until Lily got lonely and decided to go visit the boys.

Harry thought to himself, "I'm finally at home." Harry came to the Gryffindor boys dormitory to see his stuff already there. "Thanks Remus." Harry thought to himself. After the marauders had eaten, Harry said to them, "Hey guys, sorry for being so uptight around Dumbledore. He has really high expectations of me."

Sirius, Remus, and James just cracked up they all replied, "Harry you were acting like dear old Snivellus up there." Harry allowed himself to laugh and smiled. "So are you guys going to plan a prank or are you going to put shame to your name?"

"Harry, we're recruiting you to join Remus, Sirius, Lily, and I to join the Marauders." James said. Harry just smiled and thought to himself, "Man, this is going to be weird."

"Harry, this is a very serious matter of business." James said solemnly.

"This is also a very high honor," Sirius said, just as solemnly. They both turned to look at Remus.

"I can't believe we are doing this," Remus said, in just as solemn a tone. Harry laughed shortly.

James pulled out a piece of crinkled, slightly ripped parchment. "Harry, we bestow this sacred piece of parchment to you." Harry blinked at them and took the piece of parchment. He was trying to act slightly confused.

"Take out your wand and put it on the sacred document." Sirius instructed. Harry slid his wand out of his pocket and placed it on the parchment.

"Now you must take the oath," Remus said. All the Marauders put their right hands on their chest.

"Repeat after us," James said. Harry nodded.

"I do solemnly swear that I am up to no good," the three Marauders chorused. Harry repeated it, and he looked down at the parchment to see it presenting him with a map--no, not just a map--THE map. The Marauder's Map!

Lily had been standing outside of the boys dormitory for the past ten minutes and thought silently to herself, "And I thought Harry was going to be different from James. Oh Bloody Hell, not another sodding MARAUDER!!!" At that, Lily decided that she didn't want to hear anymore and went back to the girls dormitory to study. (A/N: How like Hermione is she???)

Harry then knew that he had to do something. "James, my last name isn't Prouix. It's Potter." "Are you like Prongs' long lost cousin or something?" Sirius asked. James was stroking his chin in thought.

"James, I'm your son."

Next time on: Getting Revenge

Author's Note: I did it again! I'm soooo sorry for leaving everyone on a cliffhanger. I'm also sorry for having these chapters so short. I'm writing this in my free time, which I don't have a lot of, so I'm sorry if I don't update as quickly as you anticipate.
