Disclaimer: As usual, I still haven't got anything. But oh well. It happens right? Here's chapter umm 5 I think. Enjoy. R&R. And I promise I'll try and get some actual relationships in soon. I'm working on it. Any ideas from you guys besides Harry/Ginny Ron/Hermione and Lily/James. Maybe get Sirius with someone. I'm looking into it. Any comments will be appreciated. Well enough of me rambling. Back to the show.

Harry awoke to some really loud snoring. Really loud. So loud that he grabbed a pillow and threw it at the perpetrator. He looked over, prepared to laugh at Ron, but it was none other than Sirius who looked up. Harry froze with shock, and was promptly hit with a pillow. The ensuing pillow fight woke up the rest of the marauders and it was underway. Harry and Ron tag-teamed against the marauders and were beaten. Badly. So they all resigned to go down to breakfast, which Ron and Sirius whole-heartedly agreed to do.

"Hey Padfoot. How come you always have to snore so loud?" Harry laughed at the pained expression on Sirius's face. The others snorted into their breakfast.

"You know what Granger?"

"What?" All the boys heads turned to the voice. Harry then remembered that Hermione was here too.

"Well you said Granger. And that is my name Sirius. So what do you want?"

"Wait a second. Harry? How come you two have the same last name?"

"Harry? Our names are the same?"

"Hey Hermione where's Ginny?"

"She's over there with your mu- with Lily but-."

"Oh ok. Well tell her I said hi then I guess."

"Alright Harry." Hermione flashed him a mischievous grin and walked off.

"Prongsie. What's going on here? The new people talk to Lily a whole lot more than you do."

"Shut it Padfoot." And with that he stuffed a muffin in Sirius's mouth before he could protest.

"Anyways, back to business. Moony? What time is that prank gonna start?"

"Whoa, are you guys gonna prank the Sly-" At that, both Harry and Remus shoved a muffin in Ron's mouth. He too, shut up and listened.

"Well Prongs, it should start in about a minute."

"Ah perfect timing. And here comes the greasy git now."

"Where is he James?"

"Not now Wormtail. Pay attention. This should be good."

Once Snape had sat down, the prank had begun. The Slytherins, whom had been eating before, were now turning into different things. Harry could have sworn that there were some canary creams in there but he didn't know. Snape had eaten one as had Malfoy. Funnily enough, Malfoy had turned into a ferret. Like father, like son. As for Snape, well, nothing happened to Snape really. At least at first. Then Harry saw it. Snape's nose began to grow and he turned into a vulture with a loud pop. The marauders were cracking up, and rolling on the floor laughing, along with the rest of the school.

"Potter, Black, Lupin, Pettigrew. My office. NOW!" The four boys looked at her with apprehension. Harry had turned at the name Potter, but remembering it wasn't him, stayed in his seat. Harry and Ron wished them good luck and finished breakfast.

"I swear, one of these days something bad will happen and it won't be funny anymore." Harry turned and saw his mother Lily looking right at him. She sat down next to him, and Ginny on his other side. Hermione sat across with Ron.

"Hey Lils, Hermione, Ginny." They chorused off greetings and then sat down to talk, wondering what the punishment would be this time.

Harry noticed that Ginny had gotten ahold of his left hand, and at almost the same time, Lily had reached for his right. The two girls then both glanced at each other and let go, both turning as red as their hair.

"Um, well that was a great breakfast. I'm going to get ready for class." And Lily stood up and walked off.

"Yeah me too. Mione you comin?" Hermione quickly released Ron's hand and joined Ginny. They caught up with Lily outside the Hall while Ron and Harry stared after them in shock.

"I suppose we should get goin too mate."

"Alright. What's the schedule?"

"Let's see. Monday we have Transfiguration first, with McGonagall, then Potions with Slughorn. Slughorn? We have that bloke again? Tuesday we've got Herbology with Sprout and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Wednesday is Charms with Flitwick and Transfiguration again. Thursday is Potions and Herbology. And Friday is Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"Who's the DADA teacher?"

"Doesn't say. Guess we'll have to find out then huh?"

"Ok. Well let's go find the marauders then, see what classes we've got with them." So the two of them then walked off to the common room and sat in the chairs, waiting for their friends to get back. They ended up giving up on that after awhile and headed off to the first class of the day.

Once Harry and Ron got into Transfiguration, it turned out they were already late. There weren't any seats to sit next to each other so they walked off looking for one. Hermione waved Ron over and he sat down. Harry glanced around the room. He saw his father sitting with Sirius and Remus. He started walking towards him when he saw Ginny. At least, it looked like Ginny. It could have been Lily. He wasn't sure. He looked around for another redhead and found them. Ginny was next to Hermione, and Lily was in front of his dad. They both waved him over. Harry was torn. He wanted to get to know his mother, but he wanted to be with his girlfriend. He ended up sitting next to Lily. She beamed at him and Ginny gave him a hurt look. Hermione and Ron both hit her though and she understood. Once he sat down, McGonagall came back in and class started.

"It's good to see you all again, excluding Mr. Potter and Mr. Black of course." The class sniggered. James and Sirius had been having a fake sword fight and didn't hear her comment. They felt her stare though and stopped.

"So nice of you two to join us. As I was saying, this year will be very difficult. It is your N.E.W.T.'s after all. So please pay attention and this should all go very well. We shall start with transfiguring your boxes in front of you into turtles."

Lily nudged him then. "Harry are you good at transfiguration?"

"I'm not bad. Why?"

"You think you could help me, you know, give me some lessons and all?"

"I could try. You'd be better off asking Da- James though because he's really good at it."

"Well see, James is a little bit bigheaded, kind of funny since he is Head Boy, but it's just so hard to even get along with him. And besides, you're much nicer than he is anyway." She leaned in to tell him this and then he heard a "hem-hem." He looked around in terror. Hermione and Ginny sniggered at him. James also was giving him a death glare. He turned back around in his seat.

"I dunno."

"Is something wrong?"

"Well it's just, I'm not sure Ginny would like that. Cuz she's going need help too. And well I dunno. You're better off with James."

"Harry? Do you not like me?" Harry glanced at her. She sounded hurt. He looked at her eyes, the eyes that mirrored his own, and something in his head finally clicked. His mother liked him. Harry swore silently. This would be difficult.

"Lily I." But the bell came to his rescue. Ginny grabbed him and off they were to potions.

Ginny grabbed his hand and steered him into a seat next to her. James sat next to them with Sirius, Remus, and Lily, while Harry was with Hermione, Ron and Ginny.

"Hello class. It's good to have you back. Ah and I see my two potion experts have returned once again. Miss Evans, Mr. Snape." Harry snorted. Mr. Snape? It just sounded, well, wrong. Snape was always Snape, or else slimy git, or no-talent professor, or betrayer of trust, or cold-hearted murderer, or.

"Mr. Granger? Do you happen to know what this potion is right here in front of me?" Harry shook himself out of his thoughts after glaring at Snape, who glared back at him, as well as James and Sirius.

"Umm. Isn't that Felix Felicis?"

"Quite right. 5 points to Gryffindor."

"Does anyone know what it does? Mr. Wheezy?"

"It gives the drinker good luck in everything they do." Harry laughed at Ron's chosen last name.

"But too much will make you giddy, reckless, and overconfident." Hermione jumped in on the conversation there as well.

"Correct. Gryffindor take another 5 points. The drinker shall meet success in everything they attempt. It is of course, illegal in sports and such. That will be today's prize. Whoever can create the best potion shall get one vial of Felix. Take it on a normal day, and see how much good fortune shall come to you. Now if you all will please turn to page 34 and create, an Elixir to Induce Euphoria."

Harry remembered making that potion last year. It had been heavily corrected by the half-blood prince: Snape. Whatever happened, he couldn't let Snape get it. He struggled to remember what he had done in the potion. He vaguely remembered the peppermint smell. He flipped to the page and started at it.

"Hermione? Is there a way to see someone's memory without using a pensieve?"

"Yeah."

"I need a particular memory but I only remember part of it."

"Ok. Here hold still. Concentrate on the memory. Are you ready?"

"Yes."

Hermione then did a spell, non-verbal because Harry didn't hear it, and his memory was suddenly very clear. He saw the instructions, copied them, and set to work. Forty minutes later, he heard Slughorn say "Time." He looked at his potion. It was finished. Slughorn walked around the room, impressed with both Lily's and Snape's. He then came over to Harry's table.

"Well now Mr. Granger. That is remarkable. And a twinge of peppermint as well? Quite unorthadox. I daresay it works though, as it counterbalances the side effects." Harry saw Snape scowling and writing down something that Harry had a faint idea was about adding peppermint.

"I believe Mr. Granger has won then. Very well. Here you are. One vial of little Felix. Use it well. The rest of you all. For homework give me one foot on the properties of that potion you've just made. Class dismissed."

Harry couldn't believe his luck. He pulled it off.

"HARRY JAMES PO- GRANGER! What do you think you're doing?"

"Hermione? What are you talking about?" She shoved him up against the wall. Ginny didn't even bother to help him.

"What if someone was meant to get that vial huh? You just messed up the timeline!" Realization dawned on Harry. He swore. Loudly.

"I'm sorry Hermione. I-I didn't think." Harry cowered under her wrath. She snorted.

"That was obvious. Ugh. Forget it. You can't change the past. Er well. Nevermind. Let's go work on Transfiguration and Potions homework."

"We had transfiguration homework?"

"If you hadn't been busy flirting with your mother you would have known that."

"Huh? Oh. Umm… Hermione?"

"WHAT?"

Harry decided not to bring up the fact that he didn't have potions homework. "Nothing."

Ginny finally came to his rescue and they made it to the common room. The marauders surrounded him immediately and dragged him to their dorm.

"Harry? What is there between you and Evans. I saw how she was looking at you."

"There's nothing James. I have my own redhead. Truth is, I'm trying to get her with you." That shut James up. Sirius and Remus began to laugh.

"See Prongsie. That's what Ol' Padfoot was tryin to tell you."

"You really are trying to get her with me?"

"It's obvious you both like each other. You're the same as my two friends down stairs." At that, the door to their dorms swung open and Ron walked in swearing.

"Whoa. Calm down man. What's up?" Remus looked concerned. At least he tried to. He had been listening to the argument downstairs rather than the one up here.

"That girl. Ugh. Hermione is crazy. Harry have you heard her?"

"Yeah Ron. She likes you mate."

"I was right! She is crazy. Wait what?"

"I said she likes you mate." Ron looked at him like he was crazy. Sirius and Remus nodded in agreement. Only James was unconvinced, seeing as how Lily treated him the same way.

"Lily likes you too James." That was too much.

"No she doesn't!" James and Ron both shouted simultaneously at them. Harry, Remus and Sirius all began howling with laughter.

"Shut it you three."

"This is too much. I'm going downstairs. Remus, Sirius? You comin?"

"Right behind you Harry. We'll leave the lovesick up here." Tears began falling down their cheeks as they roared with laughter. Ron and James both jumped on their beds scowling. Harry, Sirius and Remus went downstairs. No one was there. The girls had gone up to their rooms as well. Remus and Harry decided to start on their homework. After awhile they gave up and the three of them went to bed.
