Okay, so you're all going to kill me because of the way I started this chappy, however, what you are all waiting for is somewhere below…
POTTERS' AND FRIEND LIVE!
It was announced today that two people who were believed to have died while protecting their child, and another who we were told is innocent, but died are alive!
Lily and James Potter, parents of Harry Potter (the boy who lived) were killed by he who must not be named while their son was just one year old. They died instantly, but everyone effected by Voldermort in the past mourned as soon after their deaths, he who must not be named met his defeat and did not rise again until two years ago. Dumbledore and Harry Potter still say he has been alive for many years, but the minister is assuring us this is not true.
Two years ago, on the night Voldermort once more rose and took to the ministry, Sirius Black also died. The minister then proclaimed that Sirius Black was innocent, and are now chasing another by the name of Peter Pettigrew.
However, all three of these people are once again alive and well.
Lily Potter was the first to rise, and a few months later James and Sirius did to. This was the result of a spell performed by Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
However, is this another hoax? Are we being tricked by he who must not be named? Are these people spies?
MINISTER SAYS 'NO'The ministry informed us last night that the stories reported earlier on in the week are indeed hoaxes.
'No, none of these stories can be true, as there is no possible way to revive the dead. I have not yet met these people, however I will be later on this week,'
The minister believes this is a way for three people to become famous. He will be meeting with them later on, as his stated, and until then the ministry will carry on investigating the story. The three are currently staying at Hogwarts, and Lily Potter is a teacher.
Hermione slammed down the paper, annoyed. A hoax? How thick could the minister be. And Harry hadn't totally believed, but at least it didn't take him long. She looked up at the staff table where he stood happily talking to his parents. The memory of that reunion loomed in her mind…
Harry opened his mouth to speak.
He shut it again, not knowing what to say. He stared at the three people before him, then stood up. He made his way slowly over towards Sirius.
'Why did you go?' He asked quietly.
'I didn't have a choice,'
'You should have stayed at your parents house, like Dumbledore said,'
'I heard you were in trouble. What, you think I was going to leave them to save you? Sides, I missed beating up those damn death eaters,'
Harry smiled, and hugged Sirius tightly. He wiped away a tear and moved on to his parents. A tear did fall as they both engulfed him in hugs, and he hugged back. He had parents.
Hermione took a bite out of her toast. It must have been hard for them, but they were getting along fine now. She was surprised he hadn't blown up at Lily for not telling him the truth all summer, but she guessed he was just happy to have a mum. Dumbledore had spoken to the school, and many students loved questioning Lily during lessons, which James and Sirius had started attending. As everyone might have known, they got up to the usual havoc they did when they were being taught at school. The liked to frighten the first years, and play pranks on everyone else. They loved disrupting Lily's class, and more than once she had to send them to help out with McGonnagal's class. However, not even having her around seemed to stop them. The would transfigure equipment into animals, and watch them run around the classroom. The even adopted the professor's old name; Minnie.
It seemed that being dead for a few years had not made them any more mature.
And they also took to their new duties that Dumbledore had given them; patrolling the corridors and giving – not to mention taking away – house points and detentions.
Slytherin had twice less than Gryffindor in a week.
The two ex-marauders also had a few tricks up their sleeves for Snape. During one of his classes they paid a visit, asking for some ingredients. While he was turned away, they changed the instructions on the board to read;
Write out on a length of parchment; Snape is a git.
Perform a simple charm which goes as follows; 'Ickle Baby turn around, watch snivellus dance around, he is a git, he is an idiot, watch, watch and bounce around'!
Say to your professor (Snape) 'You're an idiot. I'm not'
Hang Snape from the ceiling.
Dance around underneath him shouting 'Wash your hair,' and 'run to your mummy dearest,'
Watch him squirm.
Thank Padfoot and Prongs for all the lovely fun you had.
The two then quickly dashed out of the room as the students laughed and set about writing.
Another simple thing they did to annoy Snape was to pelt him with dung bombs, stink bombs, water bombs and balloons filled with shampoo and water which cried out as they fell 'WASH YOUR HAIR!'
Life with them in was good. But then terror struck, and it wasn't pretty.
It was hell, and Lily once more took on the role of house maid afterwards, cleaning up the mess it left.
However, during, she was need with her healing skills in the hospital wing, so that's where she stayed.
Aura's flood over, James and Sirius fought, and the top two years of the school charged out with them.
Voldermort struck, bringing his death eaters behind him.
The mass of black flooded the grounds, while the aura's and students stood at the door. Dumbledore was at the front of them, just as Voldermort was at the front of is group. Harry, Ron and Hermione stood side by side, each holding their wands tightly. Ginny stood behind them, her knees shaking. Many were shivering, others standing firmly. They had watched from behind walls as Voldermort struck their homes, but crossing the boundary into Hogwarts and attacking their second home and family was too far. They had stood still and done nothing to long. It was one of those times when the whole school came together and stood against the wrong.
Even inside things were as tight as outside; the older ones guarded the common rooms, a few teachers manned the doors (the rest were outside) and the younger ones huddled with brothers and sisters. A few prayed, others wanted to fight, and some just cried.
It was one of those times when those who had been effected wanted revenge. The next fight would determine whether or not they had succeeded.
No words were spoken between the two groups, and no sign of fear was shown. The first spell flew, and it started a chain reaction which broke out into a full scale fight.
It wasn't a battle.
It was war.
A war which might end all wars, or which might end the world. A war which many people might die to save others. A time when everyone needed to pull together to win. A time when two forces fought. But it was to the death. Either Voldermort would die, or every single person in Hogwarts would die. It was a case of who got there first.
Lily was going to be kept busy.
The aura's were going to be kept busy.
The teachers were going to be busy.
The students were going to be fighting for their lives.
In the battle, rage powered many of the spells. The students flung themselves whole-heartedly into the midst of the most powerful people in the magical community. Not all came out again, but every time one failed, the anger got more, and the spells more powerful. Every time on fell, another jumped in.
Every time one won, they jumped onto the next one. They helped their friends, saved people they had never met and defeated those the world had been fighting for generations.
Sorry about the wait, and sorry about the shortness, but the next chappy is all about the fight, and you'll see it in the eyes of people you do not yet know.
I'm going on holiday soon, so the next chappy will be at least 1-2 weeks.
PLEASE REVIEW!
