Hope you like this chapter. Sorry it took me so long to update. Hope you like it and I tried to work on my grammar in this chapter but it was hard with the Auto Correct on my computer that corrects when I don't want it to. This is the longest chapter for this story so that's another reason why it took so long. Enjoy and please review even if you hate it, because I need some constructive criticism. Thanks again for those that reviewed. I love opening my email and seeing reviews.

Gina and I were sharing a dormitory and at 7:30 the next morning I heard a loud bang. I jumped out of bed and since it was Sunday I was planning to sleep in. So I jumped up and started to look around and saw Ginny standing by her bed with her wand out and staring at the door.

"What's happening?" I asked still half asleep.

"Something was outside that door."

"Ginny it's called people, it will be the older girls walking down the stairs from their dormitory."

"No, it wasn't a person."

"How do you know?"

"I just know."

"Well what if it was just a person, and you woke me up for no reason on a SUNDAY."

"It was not just a person, I swear it was something else."

"Whatever you say Ginny. I'll just go back to sleep and please try not to wake me up again before at least 10:00." I laid back down and I heard a crash outside the door. I jumped up again and grabbed my wand from my beside table and went and stood beside Ginny.

"What do you think it is Gina?"

"I couldn't tell you Ginny."

"Maybe we should go and investigate."

"Sure, sounds like a good idea. Hey Ginny, why are we carrying our wands, we don't really know any magic that would help us."

"You don't know any Ginny. Sirius as been teaching me ever since I could remember. Especially Defensive spells and such. He didn't want anything to happen to me after you know what happened to my parents."

"Okay, so why do I have my wand?"

"I really don't know, reflexes maybe, who knows."

We were walking towards the door and Ginny reached out to open the door. "Ginny, get behind the door and open it. If something bad is out there then, you could get hurt if you can't defend yourself. I'll go out first and when I say it is safe you can come out."

"Okay Gina."

So Ginny opened the door and I walked out and looked around. I saw nothing, but then I looked down into the common room and saw a shadow. "Ginny." I hissed, "Someone is in the common room. You woke me up for this?"

"Okay then come back in and let them be by themselves in the common room, unless you want to go down to breakfast."

"Sure, lets go down to breakfast seeing as I'm already awake, and I will not be able to get back to sleep."

So Ginny and I went back into our dormitory that we also shared with 2 other girls. Their names were Sally Morn and Catalina Rosa, but everyone called her Cat.

We got dressed and then we walked back out of the dormitory and down the stairs. Cat and Sally were still asleep. Nobody was in the common room, but we just about made it to the portrait hole and that's when we heard footsteps behind us. We turned around and I pulled out my wand. I saw someone walking towards us with their wand drawn and the person said "don't move, and I won't hurt you. Move back against the wall and give me your wands."

We didn't give him our wands so he cried "Accio Wands."

Mine and Ginny's wands went flying into his outstretched hand.

"Okay, very good, now where is it?"

"Where is what?"

"You know perfectly what it is you bitch."

"Actually I don't know what it is, so if you would care to explain."

"Don't even think about playing stupid with me, it will not work. Answer me or that just might be your last words-"

"Accio Wands" yelled somebody.

Ginny and I turned and we saw Harry, Ron and Hermione standing on their staircases with their wands pointed at the person standing beside us. The wands flew into their hands and then they all shouted at the same time "Petrificus Totallus."

The persons legs and arms locked together and they fell backwards, stiff as a board.

"Ginny." yelled Harry, "go and find McGonagoll and tell her someone somehow got into the common room and said threatened you and Gina. Go quick."

Ginny ran out of the common room. Hermione, Ron and Harry walked down the stairs and over to the person. The person had a mask over their face. Hermione bent down and tried to pull the mask off, but it was stuck. "Why can't I get this mask off?" she said.

"Here, let me try." replied Ron. He reached down and tried to grab the mask, but it wouldn't move an inch. "It's stuck Harry. How are we going to find out who the person is?"

"I don't think we need to take the mask off of him to know who it is." said Harry.

"Who is it then, and how do you know who it is?" asked Hermione and Ron at the same time.

"Well who has white hair-?"

"Malfoy." said Hermione and Ron.

"I think that is who it is." said Harry.

Just as Harry was finishing his sentence the portrait opened and Ginny and McGonagoll ran in. "Whatever happened Potter, Granger, Weasley?" she asked stepping over what we figured out was Malfoy.

"Well." I began to tell the story, "Ginny heard something outside the dormitory door and I heard a bang and I woke up. I saw Ginny standing over her bed with her wand out. I jumped out of bed because the noise scared me and she said there was someone outside the door. I told her it was just another student, but she said it was someone else. I went back to my bed, but as soon as I laid my head on my pillow I heard a crash and jumped out of bed again and Ginny and I went to investigate. We walked out of the dormitory and I said nobody was there, then we saw a shadow and this-" I pointed to Malfoy on the ground, "-jumped out and started screaming at us and telling us that we had to tell him where it was. We had no clue what he was talking about and we told him that, but he said stop playing dumb and tell him where it was or this could be our last words, then he screamed Accio Wands and Ginny's and my wands flew into his hand. Then we heard someone else scream Accio Wands and looked and Hermione, Ron and Harry were standing on the stairs. Then they pointed their wands at him and screamed Petrificus Totallus and he fell to the ground and then Ginny went and got you. So basically that is the whole story."

"Come on you five, we are going to talk to Dumbledore." said McGonagoll and she turned to leave.

"Professor." I said

"What Ms. Potter?"

"In our PJ's?"

"Oh, sure, go change first, but hurry."

We all ran back to our dormitories and just as I was getting to the top of the stairs I turned around and saw McGonagoll point her wand at Malfoy and he stood up, and his mask flew off. She grabbed him by the neck of the robes and started to walk towards the portrait hole. I ran and got into my clothes and then the five of us met McGonagoll and Malfoy down in the common room and we headed to Dumbledore's office. By this time students were starting to wake up and head down to breakfast.

We arrived at Dumbledore's office and McGonagoll told the gargoyle the password and it jumped aside and we all stepped onto the moving staircase and headed up to Dumbledore's office. When we got outside the door McGonagoll knocked and we heard "Come in" the door opened and we walked in.

"Sit down. What brings you seven here at 8:00 on a fine Sunday morning?" asked Dumbledore

"Well," I began and I proceeded to tell the story of what happened.

"So let me get this straight," said Dumbledore, "Mr. Malfoy somehow found his way into your dormitory and threatened you and kept asking you where it was."

"Correct." said Ginny.

"Is that true Mr. Malfoy?" asked Dumbledore turning and facing Malfoy

"No, that Mudblood," he pointed at Hermione

"Don't call Hermione a Mudblood." yelled Harry, "She's more of a witch than you'll ever be."

"I'll never be a witch Potter." spat Malfoy, "as I was saying that Mudblood-"

"Mr. Malfoy." cut in Dumbledore, "I would appreciate if you didn't talk that way."

"She went and hexed me and levitated me up to her bloody dormitory and then dressed me up in a mask and black robe and then went and hexed me and then these-" he pointed at Ginny and I, "came down and started to threaten me."

"Is that all?"

"That's basically all Professor."

"Okay Mr. Malfoy, you will have detention for another week after your time that you already have. 50 points from Slytherin and I will be writing to your parents."

"No please don't Professor, I didn't do anything."

"Of Course you didn't. If you didn't do anything why did Hermione Hex you in the first place. She is not the kind of person that goes around and just hexes people for the fun of it now does she?" Dumbledore turned and winked at Hermione.

"I didn't do anything."

"Okay. Professor McGonagoll, would it be fine with you if Mr. Malfoy here served his detentions with you?"

"Of course it would be fine Professor Dumbledore."

"Well that is settled then. Mr. Malfoy you may go know."

Malfoy stood up and walked out of the door.

"Know," said Dumbledore, turning to face the 5 friends, "I assume that you are telling the truth, and that Mr. Malfoy really did threaten you, but if he didn't you will be in a lot of trouble."

I swear Dumbledore winked after that.

"I have no idea how he got into your common room, but I intend to find out. You guys are free to go down to breakfast now."

We all stood up and headed for the door. As the door was closing we heard Dumbledore saying to McGonagoll, "Keep an I on them Minerva will you?"

"Of course Prof-" and the door closed and cut them off.

We headed down to breakfast and nothing else happened. We were eating breakfast and Ron said, "Harry, Gina there's Hedwig and Lils."

Sure enough the 2 owl flew down and sat on the table, knocking over the pumpkin juice in the process. Harry and I grabbed the letters and I read them out loud.

"Dear Gina and Fellow Marauders

First off, nice names, do they mean anything in particular, or are they just names? You know that James', Remus' and my name are related to our animals. I am glad you have made some friends. It makes me happy to know that you have fit into the Wizarding World. I would love to come to Hogwarts next Saturday.. I can't wait to see Harry again. It has been such a long time since I last saw him. I have a feeling that I know what you are going to show me, and I can't wait to see it again. I have sent a letter to Dumbledore also. Can't wait to see you on Saturday. Hope you enjoy your first classes.

Padfoot"

"Okay, he is coming then." I said

"I can't wait to meet him." said Harry

"Nor I." said Hermione

"Neither can I. He sounds so cool" said Ginny and Ron

"So do you want me to read the other letter or not?" asked Harry

"Sure."

"Dear Gina

I'm glad to have heard from you. I would be delighted to come and see the castle again and to see what you are going to show me. I am pretty sure I know what you have to show us. Padfoot and I will apparate up to the gates of Hogwarts and then walk up. How about you meet us at the gates at let's say 9:00. Write back and tell me you got this. Can't wait to see you.

Mooney"

"They sure like the names don't they?" said Hermione

"They do. I haven't heard Sirius call Remus, Remus, it's always Mooney, and vice versa." I replied.

"We need to reply." said Harry.

"Oh yeah, does anybody have a quill?"

"I do." said Hermione and she reached into her book bag and pulled out a quill.

"Why are you carrying that bag around on a Sunday?" asked Ron.

"I have to go to the Library."

"The Library on a Sunday before classes even start." said Harry.

"Yup."

"What work do you have?" asked Ron

Ginny and I are just sitting there laughing.

"For your information Ronald I do have some work to work on and I would appreciate it if you didn't criticize how I work. You should really take some hints and start to work like this, so you don't have to use my notes when it comes to exam time. God help you if you didn't have my notes for last years exam, you would have been in Gina's and Ginny's year. Just remember that when you are asking why I spend so much time in the library."

Hermione picked up her bag and her toast and walked out of the Great Hall.

"What was all that about?" asked Harry

"She is absolutely crazy that one." replied Ron

Ginny and I just kept laughing.

"You know." said Ginny, "you really shouldn't be so hard on her and you really shouldn't criticize how she works if she gives you her notes. She should be criticizing how you work."

Ginny and I stood up and walked out of the Great Hall and went to the library to meet up with Hermione.

"Girls." said Ron, turning to face Harry

"What's the matter with them?" asked Harry

"Some sort of pact that all girls have to stick together, I don't know."

"Oh, so that's what it is."

Meanwhile in the library Hermione was reading Hogwarts a History.

"What are you reading Hermione?" asked Ginny

"Hogwarts a History." replied Hermione

"Why?"

"Oh, just because."

"What are you looking for?" I asked Hermione

"Nothing really, just bored."

"So this isn't for homework or anything?"

"No."

"Why did you say you had work to do?"

"Well I do have work to do, just not homework. Isn't reading work?"

"I guess so."

"And I knew Ron and Harry would never let me go to the library if they didn't think they would benefit from what I was doing.'

"So that's the reason."

"Sure is."

"You sure did outsmart them."

"Thank you Gina."

Hermione turned back to her book and Ginny and I went and grabbed a book and started to read. I had a book on elementary charms. After I got fed up of reading I asked Hermione for a piece of parchment and a quill and I wrote back to Sirius.

Dear Sirius

I wrote

Thanks for the letter. We will meet you and Remus on Saturday at 9:00 at the gates to Hogwarts. About the names nobody in the group knew when we made up the names that your names actually meant something, like Padfoot is because the pads on a dog, and Mooney because he is a werewolf and the moon is a big thing for him and Prongs, because he was a stag. When we made up the names we just thought of names that were out of the ordinary and made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Can't wait to see you. We are having fun and the Marauder's Map and Invisibility Cloak come in handy. Thanks for passing them on, and for losing the map so Filch could find it and so the Weasley twins could steal it and give it to Harry. I'll be waiting to see a black dog bounding up to the gates on Saturday with Remus. Talk to you later.

Gina

I then grabbed another piece of parchment and started to write to Remus.

Dear Remus

9:00 on Saturday is fine. We will see you at the gate. Can't wait to see you.

Gina

I sealed the letters and put them in the pocket of my cloak. Then I went and grabbed another book and started to read that one. After reading for about 20 minutes I heard a tapping and looked up at the window and saw Lils and Hedwig at the window. I ran over and opened the window. Lils had a letter tied to her leg and I pulled it off and opened it and read it. It was short, only one sentence.

Gina, please come down and have tea with me 3:00. Bring your friends. Hagrid

I turned the piece of parchment over and wrote Sure

I tied the note back to Lils leg. She flew off and then I turned to Hedwig. "Having fun with your sister Hedwig? Oh, I have a special job for you Hedwig, are you up for it?'

The owl hooted and then I tied the two letters to Hedwig's legs. "Now one letter goes to Sirius and the other goes to Remus. Can you manage that?"

The owl hooted again and then she flew out the window.

I went and sat back down at the table and Ginny looked up from her book about Transfiguration. "What was that all about." she asked.

"Oh, Hagrid sent me a note asking if I wanted to go and have tea with him, and I sent Hedwig off with the reply's to Sirius and Remus. Do you guys want to come and have tea with Hagrid and I?"

"Sure, I have heard a lot about him, but never really met him."

"Don't eat his stone cakes." Muttered Hermione from behind her book

"Wow, it takes while it's reading, how did you get it to do that Ginny, Gina?" asked a voice from behind me.

I turned around and saw Harry and Ron standing behind me.

"I talk when I'm reading Ronald."

"No you don't Mione."

"Yes I do, I just don't talk to you."

"That was good Mione." said Harry who was laughing.

Ron didn't know what had hit him.

Harry turned to him and then said "Hermione is there a particular reason why you don't talk to Ron while you are reading?"

"Many, it would take way to long to name them off so I'll just say that because he is an idiot."

With that Ron turned and walked out of the library. Harry was still laughing. "I'm glad Hermione that I am on your good side."

"Well you won't be if you keep bugging me much longer."

That wiped the smile of Harry's face and he turned and followed Ron.

"Good job Hermione, I'm glad somebody around here can stand up to my brother." said Ginny.

"It's not that hard Ginny, you should try it one time, ignoring them works wonders, and zoning out is even better."

"I'll try it one time. Thanks."

"No problem."

Hermione turned and went back to her book. Ginny and I got up and walked to the other end of the library and went behind a bookshelf.

"Is it just me or was she flirting with Ron?" asked Ginny

"Oh, she was flirting, but never tell her that, or she will bite your head of."

"I learned that this summer and what I didn't learn over the summer I learned right now, watching her freak out or should I say flirt with Ron."

Ginny and I went back and sat down and read until Hermione closed her book and said, "I'm getting hungry, let's go drop our stuff of in the dormitory and then head down for lunch."

Ginny and I agreed and we headed back to the Gryffindor Common Room. Harry and Ron were sitting at a table playing wizard chess. Ginny and I stopped to talk to them, but Hermione just kept on walking. We went up and dumped our stuff and then the five of us went and headed for lunch.

Hermione was still not talking to Ron. Harry leaned over and whispered, "Ron and Hermione at least 2 times a year go on this long I'm not talking to you think because you did something stupid, etc. etc. It does get annoying when you have to go back and forth and talk to the other person for them."

Harry turned back to his Chicken Salad sandwich and I went back to my Tuna sandwich.

We finished our lunch and then Ginny said, "Why don't we go out and go for a walk around the lake?"

"Sounds good." said everyone

"Oh, Hagrid asked me to come for tea and he invited you guys also. Do you want to come?"

"Sure Ginny." said Harry

"Don't eat his stone cakes." said Ron

"Don't worry, I won't I was already warned."

"Good."

We got up and walked out to the lake.

It was a nice day and the temperature was pretty warm for September in Scotland.

We walked around the lake and then at 3:00 we went and Harry knocked on Hagrid's door. Ron and Hermione were still not talking.

Hagrid answered the door and gathered us all into a large hug, then he pulled us into his hut and poured us tea.

"How's everyone doing?" He asked

"Fine." We all replied.

We talked for awhile and Hagrid pulled out his stone cakes but we all said we were still full from lunch.

At 5:00 Hagrid stood up and said, "we should be getting up to the castle for dinner."

We all stood up and headed out the door.

We got up to the castle and headed into the Great Hall. Hagrid went and sat at the teacher's table, and we sat down next to Fred and George at the Gryffindor table.

We ate dinner and then headed up to the dormitories and sat down in the comfy seats next to the fire. We just sat down and I heard a tapping on the window. I went over and let Hedwig in. I grabbed the notes from her legs and ripped them open.

Dear Gina

The first one said

See you on Saturday, and I want to play a prank on Saturday, just one more thing that makes it like old times. I could use yours and Harry's help, and your friends help also if they would like to. Oh, and don't tell Remus, he will try to stop us.

Sirius

The other letter said

See you on Saturday Gina.

Remus

I ran back to my seat and said, "You guys." in a whisper, "When Sirius comes he wants to do a prank."

"Sweet." said Harry and Ron at the same time.

"Cool." said Ginny

"That probably isn't a good idea. Dumbledore is letting him into the school as a guest." said Hermione

"Come on Hermione, it's all fun." said Ron

"You do talk." said Hermione

"I guess so." replied Ron

"Don't start to fight again please." said Ginny.

Hermione and Ron were silent.

"So are we going to help him with this prank or not?" I asked

"Of course." said everyone except Hermione who picked up her books and walked away.

"Well let's talk about this in the morning." said Harry through a yawn.

"Sure thing." said Ginny

We all gathered up our stuff and headed for bed.

"Night Ginny." I said

"Night Gina." replied Ginny

And we went to bed.

A/N I hope you liked it. The next chapter is going to be the groups first day of classes. Sorry it took me so long to update. Hopefully I'll get the next chapter up sooner. Bye for know.
