A/N I KNOW IT IS SHORT, BUT I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO WRITE AND YOU COULD WAIT A WEEK FOR A LONG CHAPTER OR GET A NEW SHORTER CHAPTER EVERY FEW DAYS.
Everyone walked into the Great Hall and sat down at the Gryffindor table for lunch.
"Hey Fred, George didn't you have a friend that wanted to help us?" asked Sirius
"Oh, Lee," answered George
"He's in the Hospital Wing," added Fred
"I just found out, he was doing a spell and it-"
"Backfired,"
"Stop ending my sentences Fred."
"Me ending your sentences, I thought you were ending mine."
"Not me, you."
"No, it was you doing it."
"Fred, George does it really matter?" screamed Ginny
"No, I guess it doesn't, but he was the one ending my sentences," said George sheepishly
"For the love of peat," cried Ginny
Ginny turned away from her twin brothers and turned to Remus, "So Remus, what do you do for a living?"
"Well Ginny," answered Remus, "Right now I am between jobs and I'm trying to find another job."
"What was your last job?" asked Ginny
"Oh, well it wasn't really a job I was doing, it was more like training. Oh hey Harry do you want to see some pictures I brought for you to look at?"
Ginny could tell that Remus didn't want to talk about his job so she just left it.
"Sure Remus, what are the pictures of?" asked Harry
"Well let me see," said Remus and he started flipping through the pictures, "There is one of you as a newborn baby. One of your parents wedding, another of your parents and the Marauders when they graduated from Hogwarts. As well as a picture of you and Gina when she was a newborn, do you want me to go on and list what the pictures are about or do you just want to look?"
"I'll just look, thanks Remus."
Harry grabbed the pictures and started to look through them. I had already seen those pictures many times, but I went and stood behind Harry and looked at them again while he flipped through them. Ginny leaned over his right shoulder and looked and Hermione and Ron leaned over his left shoulder. Once Harry had seen the pictures he passed them onto Fred and George who laughed at every baby picture of Harry.
"Ahhhhh, you looked so cute Harry," cooed Hermione and Ginny
Harry started to blush and passed the picture to Fred who started to laugh hysterically. The picture was of Harry sitting on the back of a big black dog when he was only about 8 months old. My mom was standing behind him holding him so he didn't fall and my dad had his arms wrapped around her waist. The dog was staring at the camera and just grinning. The pictures was moving and my parents were laughing and Harry was starting to bounce on the dogs back and the dog started to grin even more.
"Ah, what a cute dog Padfoot," I said to Sirius
"Yes he sure is isn't he?" replied Sirius
I just started to laugh.
Harry finished flipping through the pictures and then he stood up and said, "So Remus, Sirius do you want the tour around the school?"
"Sure," answered Remus
"Sounds good to me," added Sirius, "But I have an idea, you give us the normal tour of the school and Remus and I'll give you the Marauder tour. For our tour you will need the invisibility cloak. Okay?"
"Sound good to me," replied Harry and I at the same time
"Okay so let's get going," said Harry
"Sirius, Remus how will we all fit under the cloak, Harry, Ron and I barely fit under it?" asked Hermione
"Oh, just a little trick that we used as Marauders and you will need in the next few years. We, well I mean Remus will show you how to do it. I was never that good at it or James, but Lily taught it to Remus and he instantly got the hang of it," said Sirius
"But I thought you said James was top of his year with Lily," said Ron
"Well what I meant to say was he could have been top of his year with how smart he was, but he never spent much time, like me on school work. Remus was the one that had the good grades. James and I new every spell that it took to be a Marauder and we would spend hours learning spells that we need for pranks, but we never would sit and open a book. James and I were smart enough to be top of our year, but we left that job to Lily and Remus," said Sirius
"Oh, okay," said Ron
"So when are we going to start this tour?" asked Fred and George
"Well why not now, so Harry are you going to show us around?" asked Remus
"Let's get going then," replied Harry
We walked out of the Great Hall and Harry started the tour with Hermione and Ron cutting in sometimes and saying some stuff about some places in particular.
The tour of the school took us about 45 minutes and then we stopped at Marauder's Headquarters and stepped inside. Harry pulled out his invisibility cloak and handed it to Remus.
"Oh, this is what I've been waiting for since I got to Hogwarts," said Fred who was really excited
"What?" asked Sirius
"A tour of the school Marauders style," said Fred
"Well that's what you are going to get," replied Remus
Remus pulled out his wand and said, "Gina, Ginny and Hermione could you come over hear please."
Hermione, Ginny and I walked over to Remus.
"What Remus?" I asked
"I'm just going to show you the charm for enlarging the cloak okay? I'm telling it to you because I know Hermione is top of her year and will be able to master it most likely immediately like myself and Ginny is really good at charms, and Gina is like her mother and probably won't have to even think to do this charm," said Remus, "So all you do is flick your wand and advansido. Do you have that?"
"Yes," we all replied
"Okay then, when you want to get it back to its normal size you just flick your wand again and say desendza, okay?"
"Got it," we all said
Remus flicked his wand and said advansido and the cloak enlarged. Everyone crowded around and Remus through the cloak over us, and we headed out the door.
"Let's start at the bottom and work up," said Sirius
The Marauders tour took several hours because at every stop Remus and Sirius had to either tell a story of what happened in that place or what that place was capable of doing. Finally we finished the tour and we headed back to Gryffindor Tour. Fred said the password and we walked in, but not before the Fat Lady started screaming at us about how if we keep coming and waking her up she would not let us into the common room. Just as we were about to go through the portrait hole Sirius and Remus threw off the cloak and the Fat Lady squealed, yes she squealed and started saying, "I never meant it, I'm sorry."
"You better not have meant it," said Sirius
"These kids are just like you, sneaking in at all hours of the night, under that cloak of yours-," said the Fat Lady but Remus cut her off.
"Will you just shut up," said Remus
"What did you just say to me?" said the Fat Lady
"He told you to shut up and I'm seconding the motion," said Sirius
"You wouldn't dare," said the Fat Lady
"Oh, you wouldn't believe what we would do for Gina and Harry," said Sirius and Remus at the same time, "I'll give you a hint, if you don't want to be shredded into pieces you might stop bothering Harry and Gina and their friends because we will come and help them, and it may not be pretty for you," said Sirius
Sirius turned and walked into the common room.
"Good job, Remus, Sirius," cheered everyone
"Does she bug you as much as she bugged us?" asked Remus
"Yes, and probably more," replied Hermione
"Well, I don't think she will be bugging you for a while," said Sirius
"Thanks again," I said
"No problem. What's the point of having power if you can't use it?" said Sirius
"Sirius," said Remus in a warning tone.
"Fine Moony my man," said Ron
It was 4:20 and dinner was at 5:00 so we just sat around in the common room listening Remus and Sirius saying how nothing in the castle had changed, especially the Gryffindor Common Room. Harry, Ron, Fred, and George showed Sirius and Remus their dormitories and it just so happens that the dormitory that Harry and Ron have is the dormitory that The Marauders had when they were at Hogwarts. They sat down and then Sirius stood up and said, "Harry can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure Sirius," answered Harry
They walked over to the deserted end of the common room and Sirius started to talk to Harry. I had a feeling I knew what he was telling him. It was an old Marauder trick that allowed them to get past the stairs to the girls dormitories that turned into a slide when any guy went up it. They Marauders found the passageway in their 6th year. The passageway was guarded by a tapestry that had the Hogwart's Crest on it. You had to pull the tapestry aside and there was a picture on the wall of a forest scene. You had to find the hidden bunny, and tickle the bunny and the door would appear. You would run through the chamber and come to four doors with each house's crest on each. You would say your password to your door-the password was the password that opened your normal entrance to your common room-and you could get into another chamber and in this chamber was seven doors that led to each years dormitory. You would find the right door and open it. Go up the stairs and down some corridors and walk through the wall at the end of the corridor and end up in the girls dormitory.
At five to five we headed down to the Great Hall and sat down at the Gryffindor table for dinner.
A/N I PROMISE THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE THE PRANK.
