Chapter Sixteen:

Memory:

After the marauders had gotten over there initial shock of having there plan back fire for a second time, Remus spoke up suddenly realizing that they already had a detention for tonight with Professor McGonagall.

"But Harry we already have detention with McGonagall tonight"

The others put in their two cents, "what a shame, darn, oh well" came three replies.

"oh is that so, well than I will just have to get Professor McGonagall to let me take over your detention," Harry said with a smile, he could not wait to tell the future Sirius this, not only did he stop their pranks but he put them in detention for them as well.

The grins on the four boys faces lost traces of smiles, they did not yet know what to expect in detention from Harry, he seemed like he was an okay guy and that he liked to have fun but he also had a serious and mature manner about him, what kind of work would they make them do? Well that was something that they would find out quite soon.

The lesson finished up, by Harry, Ginny and Draco telling the class a few of the things that they hoped to accomplish before there time together ended, and by the end of the lesson everyone was either really excited or really scared as to their new curriculum.

Harry, Draco, and Ginny had decided to teach the students, some of the best things that had aided them in battle, the patronus and recognition of the unforgivables, to various hexes and ways to act with a surprise.

When the bell rung the students filed out of the classroom, all but the marauders.

Gulping they headed towards the front of the room were the three defense teachers stood waiting for them.

"Why hello their boys, take a seat" Harry said pulling on his best impression of Severus Snape to the day.

The marauders paled considerably and took seats along the first row; the ink had been cleaned up by a wave of Harry's hand.

"Right well then sit back and relax while I go and talk to Professor McGonagall, I will back soon, don't you worry" Harry said, and then walked away managing to even make his robes billow out.

Ginny and Draco almost laughed right out loud at the recognizable impression of Snape, and had to cover the mouths to stop from laughing, but it did not help that the 'oh so brave' marauders were looking terrified in their seats, soon the laughter could not be held any longer, and after a good long laugh the ice broke and talking broke out.

Harry walked along the corridors; everyone else had gone to dinner, though he knew that McGonagall would be in her office waiting for the four boys, so he headed there.

He could not shake the amusement of that whole situation off him, he had since his sixth year been one to pull many pranks and never be caught but it was so much more funny when such a plan back fired, and even more funny to see it happen to the 'famous' marauders.

He walked along the final hallway, and stopped half way along; his scar had given a painful twinge, just for a second before the feeling was gone. Harry was a little bit shocked to be feeling that pain after all he had not felt it since the day of the last battle, and never thought that he would feel it again, well he guessed now that he was wrong, but the pain did not come back so he just shrugged it off for now and kept on walking right up to the door of Minerva McGonagall's office.

He knocked twice and the stern strict voice of McGonagall came through the door, "come in" she said.

Harry opened the door with a confident smile on his face.

"Mr. Potter where are your friends, well then that is another detention for them do they have a reason for not turning up"

Harry shook his head, "Professor, I am not James, it is me Harry"

"Huh, oh so it is. My apologies it is just that you look a lot like him and are even similar in age, but anyways what is it that you need"

"oh well you see, the marauders just so happened to land detention with me this afternoon and I thought that I would relieve you from having to give them there detention and let me give mine instead" Harry said with a grin on his face.

"Really, well that is very kind. Very well than thank you but be warned they can be tricky you must have your eye on them at all times or you might suddenly find yourself floating in the air, or something, anyways thank you Harry, and I will see you tomorrow at the staff meeting."

"Good night Professor" Harry said, and then he walked out of the office and back of to his classroom, ready to give the marauders their 'punishment'.

Harry stopped outside the defense room, from through the closed door he could here laughter, and he opened the door, to see the marauders sitting down in their seats, and Ginny and Draco sitting on top the desk all with tears of mirth running down their faces.

"What's so funny" Harry asked.

"Oh Harry these boys were just telling us of some of the pranks that they have done in the pranks some of them even top some of yours"

"Mmmhh... really."

"Ya granger really" Draco said smiling.

"You used to play pranks" Sirius said unbelieving.

"No, I used to and still do" Harry said his eyes showing lethal amounts of mischief.

"ooh, Harry remember that one time that you charmed all the toilets to follow, Shlape around all day and when he took any points off of the red team the toilets would explode and spray him with tons of toilet goodies" Ginny said remembering that moment perfectly, Harry had gotten a month's detention for it and Sirius had never been prouder.

"Ahh yes the memories."

"You did that" James said liking his new teachers more and more as the seconds past.

"Yep and that was not all I and my friends did" Harry said, Ginny and Draco grinned mischievously.

The next hour was spent, swapping prank stories and laughing at what they had all come up with.

The marauders could not believe how big of pranksters there new professors were, they would definitely need to watch their backs especially with these guys in the authority position.

"Okay well I think that is enough for one night why don't you go back to your common room and we will see you all on Monday for class." Ginny said, wiping some more tears off her cheeks.

She, like Harry and Draco could not believe what the marauders had come up with it matched and in some cases rivaled their own pranks. Sirius and everyone who ever talked about the marauders pranks were right they really were some of the best pranksters of all time, Harry and his friends were of course on this list as well, as surprisingly was Dumbledore but in a way that could be expected.

" But what about our detention?" Remus asked, stupidly.

"What are you talking about Mr. Lupin, you just had it." Harry said with a grin that was so wide that it seemed that his lips could break in two at any moment.

A.N. well what did you think of the 'detention' please tell me and give me some feed back as well. My chapters are steadily getting longer I think but they are not as long as they could be yet but I think that they at the moment suit what is being written but when some more action and mystery come into play the chapters will be more longer. Anyways read and review please

Love to the readers and reviewers,
