Chapter 10: The Graduation - Part 2

Harry's family and the rest of the people that had been listening tried to stop laughing about Lockhart but it was Willow that got them to calm down when she asked about their third year.

Hermione frowned, "Compared to the other years, our third year was fairly quiet. As far as we are all concerned the only things of importance that had happened were the boggarts in our DADA class and the dementors that we had to put up with, as well as the end of the year when we found out that Pettigrew had been the Secret Keeper and that Sirius was innocent."

Xander snorted, "The four of you consider that to be fairly quiet? That sounds like the four of you had to deal with a lot of things, even though it wasn't as much as you were used to."

Harry smiled, "Yeah, that was also the year that we started to fix up the Chamber so that we could use it as well as live in it, whenever we needed to."

Dawn asked, "What did the boggarts turn into for you guys? I have looked over the books that Danielle gave to us, so I know that it turns into the thing that you fear the most, but what was it for the four of you?"

Ron laughed, "For myself, it turned into a spider, for Mia it turned into a failing grade for her classes, for Danielle it turned into losing her friends and for Harry it turned into dementors."

All of the group that were had various reactions. Some laughed about the failing grade, Dawn shook her head in disgust at the mention of spiders and the rest of them shuddered at the mention of the dementors. By the time they settled down Dawn had to ask what happened in their fourth year for the second time.

The four friends talked about the tournament and how they really did not like the dance. Molly asked, "What happened with that fight that Ron and Harry had?"

All four looked sheepish and Dane said, "To be honest, the fight was actually staged. We knew that everyone would find it odd if Ron was not upset about the Goblet of Fire so they had a fight so that they would be able to keep our secrets safe."

The staff looked at them as if they were insane, but they did agree that they had done the right thing with the options that they had to choose from. The four of them spoke about the rest of their fourth year and all of things that had occurred during it. Harry's sisters and their family all wanted to curse Pettigrew to the old Sunnydale, if it had still been standing and let the vampires and the demons that were in the Hellmouth deal with him for what he had put Harry through by betraying his closest friends and family.

Giles asked, "What occurred during your remaining years?"

Danielle snickered as the other three looked away from their professors. Ginny said, "In their fifth year there had been a lot of pranks. At first we all thought that Fred and George were the ones that had pulled the pranks, but there were so many that they couldn't have had time to pull them. There is also the fact that the pranks continued in my 5th and 6th year, as well."

Buffy looked confused, "Well if Fred and George were not the ones who had pulled the pranks, than who did?"

Harry smirked, "Why, the second generation of the Marauders of course. Who else would be pulling all of those pranks?"

The professors gaped at him in shock, but Severus said, "We should have known that you would take after the rest of your family. At least the four of you were the right people to rebuild the Marauders, rather than people who never knew about them."

The four laughed and Ron said, "All that really happened aside from the pranks was that there were a few attacks from Voldemort and his Death Eaters. We also had to study for our OWLs and our NEWTs which was a lot easier because we had the privacy and the quietness of the Chamber, as well as the books in the library down there."

Minerva smiled at them, "Well, at least you put the Chamber to good use."

Harry said, "We trained down there, we set up pranks, we stayed down there when we wanted to discuss things that no one else could know and we had done other things as well."

Hermione snorted, "Why don't you just tell them all that we took after the Marauders and became Animagi, Harry?"

The staff and their friends and family stared in surprise at the four of them. Sirius muttered, "Why does that not surprise me all that much?" Harry smirked at his godfather when he heard what Sirius said.

Molly asked, "What are your Animagus forms?"

The four friends looked at each other and once they came to a decision there were four small POPs. There was a fox with blue eyes and bright red fur where Ron had been standing and Danielle had turned into a snake that was a mix between both black and green with hazel eyes. Hermione into a snowy white owl that looked like it could have been Hedwig's twin with brown eyes and Harry into a black panther with emerald/jade eyes and a white lightening bolt on its forehead.

They transformed back and Harry said, "We have also decided to train Ginny so that she can transform as well. We figure that after helping us fight and with being Salazar's magical heir that she should become an Animagus."

All of those that were listening agreed with what he had said and they nodded their heads in response. Fred and George walked a few feet away and were whispering to each other in earnest. When they came back, Fred asked, "Harry, can you and the others teach us to become Animagi? We believe that it is interesting and this way other people can stay with Remus during the full moon."

Molly looked delighted at their mention of helping out with Remus' transformations and the Fearsome Four nodded to the twins as they did believe that it would be a good thing for all of them because some of them would need to rest instead of staying up all night during the full moon to help with the transformation, even if the Wolfsbane potion did make it easier on Remus.

The four friends glanced at Molly when the twins had asked about being Animagi and when they had said that they would teach them and they knew in their hearts that they had made the right decision and that Molly was proud of all of them.

Dawn asked, "I noticed that you tend you scowl a lot, is that hereditary and if it is how long did it take you to perfect the expressions?"

Harry laughed at the look on everyone's faces which showed that they were interested in the answer. He said, "Yes, it does tend to be hereditary." He trailed off with an unreadable expression on his face.

Danielle snickered, "Harry, there is no need to be embarrassed by the fact that you found out the truth at the end of our first year and you had perfected each scowl, glare, sarcasm, smirk and the ability of having an unreadable face by the end of the summer before second year started."

The staff was very surprised by that piece of information, but one look at Severus showed that it shouldn't have been that surprising. They were also surprised to see that Severus looked to be pleased with that bit of information. One by one the graduating students and their families, as well as all of the staff disappeared and the four of them were left alone. Ron said, "It is hard to believe that so many things have happened this past year."

Harry agreed, "It is also hard to believe that the past 7 years had gone by so quickly, what with all of the secrets that has been kept from everyone."

Danielle and Hermione smiled at them and Mia said, "Well, what do we do now? We defeated Voldemort and we are no longer students so where do we go from here?"

Before any of them could answer Albus walked over and said, "If the four of you are wondering what to do now than there are a few apprenticeship positions with some of the staff. They wanted to have someone to teach, so that the student could take over for them when they retire. If you want, the positions are yours."

The four of them looked at each other in a single second and they all turned to Albus while nodding enthusiastically. He smiled and was secretly was pleased that the students would have good teachers for a very long while. He led them back into the school and they smiled at the castle as if they were seeing it for the very first time.

AN: This story is complete. I hope those that read it have liked my version of a Severitus challenge. I also hope that you will give me an idea of how well I have done as this is my first story.

My next story will involve the HP gang, but I might not get to it fir awhile because I plan to have a crossover with several different shows. These shows are as follows:

Breaker High

Charmed

CSI

CSI: Miami

CSI: New York

The part for Harry Potter will start at the scene of Snape's pensieve in 'Order of the Phoenix'. From that point on, the story will be very different from what the book included. To give you an idea of what I mean I will say that Sirius will still live but he won't be in the same role as he was in the books.

The crossovers will start out with Breaker High, so you could find it under Misc. TV starting in about a week or under my name. I am letting you know this so that you know where to find it if you are interested in knowing my ideas of how these characters from the shows will coincide.
