Chapter 13: the Muruders meet the Weasly Twins

They all begin to make there way through the crowed to the Canary Creams were. When they got there they all burst out laughing as standing n front of them they saw 3 very large canaries, well at lest 3 adults with feathers on them.

Lilly just looked at them and said "Do you guys ever grow up?"

Fred spoke next and said "So you three are the Muruders 'Purveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief- Makers'. Mrs. Prongs, Padfoot and Moony I presume."

After Fred had said this James, Sirius and Rumeus looked at him shocked. James then asked him "How do you know about us and also us being the 'Purveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief - Makers'?"

Fred looked at him rather impressed and responded back quite shyly, which was unusual for him, "Well my brother and I found an old Piece of parchment in a drawer in one of Filch's filing cabinet marked 'Confiscated and Highly Dangerous' and we picked it up found out what it was and how it worked, and the rest they say is history"

James then looked at Harry and said "So How did you get it then."

Harry replied to his father "Well in my third year I didn't get my permission form to visit Hogsmeade signed by the Dursleys, so the twins here gave me the Map to get into Hogsmeade."

George then spoke up and said "I think it's time we were all introduced."

James looked at the twins and said "Yes I'm sorry I've forgotten my manners. I'm James Potter, Harry's Dad, and am also known as Prongs."

Sirius stepped forward and said "You of course know May real name and I am called Padfoot by my friends."

Rumeus then stepped forward and said "I am of course Rumeus Lupin and my friends call me Moony, because of my condition."

Fred and George then asked "So who and where's Wormtail."

James then said "I'll tell you but I would like to know the names of the ones we helped with our map."

Fred the replied "I'm Fred one half and the oldest of the wetly twins."

Gorge then said "I'm Gorge the smarter of the Weasly twins."

Then they spoke together "and we are the sole owners of 'Weasly's Wizrding Wheeze'."

"So now that we all know each other I guess I should tell you who Wormtail was," James said, "his name real name was Peter Pettigrew."

The twins were shocked; they turned to Isildur and said "Hey that was the guy you killed right?"

Isildur looked at them with a very sombre look and said "Ayah, but I'm not proud of it."

James then said "yes I'm afraid he was. He was also the one that Sirius here was accused of killing. He also betrayed Lilly and I to everybody's favourite Dark Wizard who tried to kill me and Harry because of who we are."

The twins looked at him puzzled especially by his last statement and when they asked him about it all he would say was that they would find out when the time was right.

Then he turned to Harry and his friends and said "Harry what you said about the Marauder's Map, has made me curious about what has happened to you the last 15 years. Now just so you know Dumbledore has told me a few things about what happened to you but I would like to here it all from you. I think the best place would be the Three Broomsticks."

Then he turned to Fred and George and said "now I believe there is a little matter over how much we owe for three Canary Creams."

George looked at him and said "For you Mr. Potter and your friends they are on the house, as we will forever be in your debt for making the map."

Ron, Harry and Herminie were shocked at how polite the twins were as they had never seen them behave in front of adults. Ron questioned his brother Fred about this and he replied that him and George admire and respect James, Rumeus and Sirius because of the map.

James then said "You know you sound incredibly like us."

Sirius then locked up and said "Yeah the only time one of us behaved was in front of Lilly."

Lilly then laughed and looked very embarrassed by what Sirius had just said.

She then looked at James and said "James is this true what Sirius just said."

James then walked up to her kissed her and whispered in her ear "of course it is, because you are the love of my life."

Lilly and James then hugged each other for about 5 minutes.

Then James said to the group "well we have to get going as we have some catching up to do with our son, and his friends."

With that the Muruders left Weasly's Wizrding Wheeze for at least one day. Then they headed for the Three Broomsticks to talk and of course have a few glasses of butter bear.

Soon they found themselves in the Three Broomsticks and they went to a table in the very back of the room. Madame Rosemeta the bar tender came over to them as she had seen who had walked in the door. She saw two faces that she had never expected to see in her bar ever again, the faces of Lilly and James Potter. She walked up to them and said this and they explained how they had faked there death and that they would like some privacy well they caught up with there son. She told them that she would bring glasses and a couple of pictures of butterbear. James then looked over to Harry and told him to pay Madame Rosemeta for the round of drinks. When she came back with the glasses and four pictures of butterbear. She then left them in private.

As they sat drinking there butterbear Harry told Lilly and James all about his time with the Dursleys, which they were horrified at how badly he was treated by them. He then told them about the times he had used magic without knowing it, they were of course shocked to find out that there son was a parslemouth (he could talk to snakes.) He also told them about his adventures at Hogwarts over the last 6 years.

When the story was over they realised it was now dinner time and they headed back to Hogwarts.

After Dinner they all sat in the common room well James, Rumeus and Sirius told them about some of the pranks that they had played well they were there. After that they all went to bed as they were tired from the night before and they had been up early that morning.

The next day after breakfast they were all talking about the pranks that the Muruders had played when James had suddenly remembered what his greatest prank was, he decided that he would rein act it with a few changes. He pulled out his wand waved it in the air and whispered some words, a spell of course. The main hall was suddenly filled with the sound of clanking armour; all the suits of armour in all of Hogwarts were walking into the great hall. Then they begin to fight each other.

As they were fighting Dumbledore walked out of the great hall to find out what was going on, he turned to James and said "James Potter I thought I could except more of you, as you are an adult. Now plese explain to me what the suits of armour are doing?"

James looked at Dumbledore as he did when he was in trouble when he went to Hogwarts and said to Dumbledore, "There rein acting the battle of Britain of course, Albus."

He said this with such great authority that Dumbledore had no choice but to laugh.

He then looked at James and said "could you kindly return the entrance hall to normal," and with those words James waved his wand and said "Fine Incantum."

All the suits of armor returned to there places through out Hogwarts. As the suits of armor were returning to there place a very odd looking black owl swooped and dropped an envelope at Isildur feet. He bent down and picked it up, he saw written in purple ink Isildur Aragorn Taylor, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He turned it over and on the back was a black seal with the dark mark on it and drawn beside it was the red eye of Sauron. He opened the letter which was written in the black speech he read it to himself and was shocked at it's contents he then proceeded to walk up to the Gryifindor common room but he was stopped by Gandalf the White who said to him "Let me see that latter."

Isildur looked at him and said "No why should I, it was addressed to me."

Suddenly Gandalf seamed to grow larger then Hagrid and the room darkened heavily, he then spoke in a very angry tone to Isildur "Isildur Aragorn Taylor, I am not some cheap conjuror, I am not trying to rob you," then as quick as he had gotten angry he calmed down and said to him "I'm just trying to help you."

Everyone in the entrance hall was shocked at what had happened after all there are not many people who have seen Gandalf the White uncloaked. (For more info on this please consult page 44 of the most recent English printing of The Fellowship of the ring.)

Dumbledore then suggested that they go to Gandalf's office to talk about this. He walked over to Isildur who was sitting in the corner clutching Narsil with one hand and the letter with the other shaking in fear.

He looked at him and said "Please come with us, I will see to it that no harm comes to you."

As soon as Dumbledore had said this Isildur felt a little better and he took Dumbledore's hand and walked with him still clutching it.

When they got to Gandalf's office they went in. Isildur realised that he had been crying wiped the tears from his eyes with his robe then Gandalf asked him to see the letter. Isildur handed it over to him. Gandalf read it and the look on his face turned to the same look he had had when Frodo had told him that he was going to go to Mordor.

He then handed it to Dumbledore who looked at it and said "Can both of you read this."

Isildur nodded and Gandalf said "there are few outside of Mordor who can."

Gandalf looked to Isildur and said to him "I'm sorry had I know what the content of the letter was I would not have done what I did."

Isildur and Gandalf then shock hands with Gandalf and said to him "I accept you apology mithrandir."

Gandalf smiled and said to him "Just call me Gandalf."

Then Dumbledore spoke up "There is still a little matter over the contents of the letter. Would one of you please tell me what it says as I can not read the black speech?"
