SORRY its been so long! I have bad news the updates are going to slow down because my computer with an unfinished un-backed up 5th chapter broke so I now have to use my family's when they're not - which isn't very often . But anyway this is chapter 5. Tonks' age and the spelling of Pettigrew and muffliato have been changed,sorry for being a dumbass. Oh and now i have a beta - TheEvilPinkCupcake - so you guys won't have to put up with my terrible spelling and grammer any longer.

Don't forget.

3rd gen = normal

1st gen (with same names)= bold.

Thank you:

Harry Potter POV

"Yes, Professor?" said James innocently.

"What is the meaning of this?" she raged, gesturing to her forehead and her rainbow coloured hair.

"It seems like someone thought you'd look nice with rainbow coloured hair." said Remus, mock thoughtfully.

"I think it makes you look younger Minnie!" said Sirius.

"I know it was you four!" exclaimed McGonagall, gesturing to the "I love the Marauders" that was written on her forehead.

"Hmm..." said Remus in fake thought, "maybe it was some fan girls? People do enjoy showing us their appreciation after all." It was strange seeing his old Professor looking so mischievous and Harry was struck by how different the teenage Remus Lupin and Sirius Black were to their haunted adult counterparts. If only he could find a way to ease the adults' suffering. A thought entered his mind but it was quickly dismissed with a voice that sounded a lot like Hermione reminding him of the dangers of meddling with time.

"Your probably right Moon-" said James.

"Pettig-" interrupted McGonagall.

But she was interrupted by Sirius yelling "-Y!"

Everyone looked at him weirdly and he exclaimed, "I was finishing Prongs' sentence!"

McGonagall shook her head in exasperation while everyone else sniggered.

"Pettigrew do you know anything about this!?"

"N-no P-professor, i-it w-wasn't u-us," said Pettigrew guiltily. The other Marauders groaned and Harry fought the urge to scowl; he saw his friends and the other time travellers doing the same.

"Detention! Thursday 8 o'clock!" said McGonagall.

"But, Minnie..." started Sirius.

"No buts, Mr Black," said McGonagall sternly.

"Er...Professor...I..." started Remus.

"Ah, of course Mr. Lupin, you will do your detention on Monday." Harry realised that it must be a full moon but that was terrible because it meant that Remus would have to transform without the help of his friends. He saw the fear building up in each Marauders eyes, the desperation, they really wanted to be there for their friend.

"Please, can't we go on Monday too, Professor," asked James. He and Sirius immediately did their best puppy dog eyes.

"My word is final, Mr. Potter," said McGonagall; she turned to walk away but then spotted Teddy. "Professor Wolfson, why aren't you at the high table?"

"Oh, I just wanted to see the other WP...W's" said Teddy; then he smirked, "and meet the famous Marauders, of course."

"WPW's?" asked McGonagall.

"Oh, the Wesley, Porter, Wolfson's, Professor." McGonagall nodded and walked away; it was obvious she thought Teddy was mad.

"What's the WPW?" asked James.

"The kids in our family, we prank the adults," said James grinning.

"You guys are related?" asked Sirius looking from Teddy to the others.

"He's our godbrother," said James, flinging an arm around Teddy's shoulders.

Harry grinned as the feast came to a close; everyone was laughing and joking. It was nice to know that things worked out. Maybe he even...no he shouldn't think like that - not until he could be sure.

They were following the Marauders down a passageway towards the Gryffindor common room. James stopped in front of a portrait that Harry knew lead towards the common room.

In front of him Harry saw James mutter a spell and point his wand at the portrait.

James - god that's confusing - said with a huge grin on his face "This is a secret passageway!"

"Oh we know all about them-" said James a mischievous gleam in his eye.

"-Everyone does-" continued Fred.

"-The teachers show them to you on their tour of Hogwarts-"

"- Don't they in this time?" finished Fred. He was smirking at the horrified looks on the Marauders faces.

Sirius fell dramatically to the floor "Noooooooo!"

"T-th-they don't!" said James looking almost pleadingly at James and Fred.

James and Fred fell on the floor laughing.

"N-no-" they managed to get in between laughs.

James, Sirius, Remus, and Pettigrew looked very relieved.

James tried to pull the tapestry aside to revel the passage but it didn't budge.

Looking at the two boys still rolling around on the floor, Harry had a pretty good idea of who was responsible.

James Sirius Potter POV

He couldn't believe he'd pranked the Marauders even if it had been quite a small prank. But he and Fred had thought of it on the spot so he was quite pleased overall.

"Okay, who blocked it?" demanded James after several more fruitless attempts to pull the portrait aside.

"Maybe you got the wrong place?" asked Fred, innocently.

James grinned and pulled the tapestry aside "It seems fine to me."

"A classic James and Fred prank." James heard his brother say, rolling his eyes.

"Hmmmm...pranksters..." James heard Sirius say behind him.

"I wonder if they're Marauder material?" James said. James and Fred exchanged a look of excitement.

"They could be," said Remus.

"Yeah," said Pettigrew, "but what are we gonna do about the detention?!"

"I don't know," said Sirius.

"We just had to keep up the start-of-term prank tradition, didn't we?" said James, frustrated, "Even so close to...a furry problem night

James couldn't resist. "What's so bad about a detention?"

"What's a furry problem night?" added Fred. Oh no- James suddenly had a flashback to what had been one of his favourite stories when he was younger. He remembered the first time he'd heard it...

"Daddy, i c'n't s'eep" a two-year-old James had wailed.

"Did you have a nightmare?" his dad had asked.

James nodded.

"What was your nightmare about?" his dad said, lifting him on to his lap.

"Tha' nas'y man, the one you killed. He c'me bac' and hurt you, Mummy and Alby."

"Oh James. You shouldn't even know about that. How do you know?"

"A new'paper lady asked you 'bout it."

"Oh yes," said his Dad sadly, "I'd hoped you hadn't heard, I thought you were asleep."

James shook his head. "i closed m' eyes coz of th' flashes."

His dad sighed, "James, Voldemort was a horrible man, but he's gone now and he's not coming back. Now let's get you back to bed."

His dad had carried him upstairs.

"Do you want a story?"

James nodded.

"Which one?"

"Mak' one up, pleeease."

"Ok," his Dad smiled and then began...

"Once upon a time there were...3 boys" his dad later told him he'd left out Pettigrew because James was too young to understand that he was a traitor.

"Their names were Moony, Padfoot and Prongs. They were the best of friends. Except Moony had a secret. Every full moon he'd turn into a werewolf. Padfoot and Prongs knew Moony was hiding something and set out to find out what it was. Eventually they did and they confronted Moony. Moony was terrified Padfoot and Prongs would reject him. But they didn't; they became Animagi.

"An-i-ma- gi" asked James.

"People who can turn into other animals. Prongs was a stag..."

"Like your Pat'onus Daddy!"

His dad smiled "-and Padfoot was a dog. You see werewolves are only dangerous to humans, every full moon they'd transform..."

Then, as much as he tried not to, James had fallen asleep.

James realised that because of his friends' detentions Moony would have to face the full moon alone.

This chapter was fillerish. Sorry. Also, Lily wasn't in James Sirius' flashback because she wasn't born yet.

Hope you liked it! Please...
