It was Christmas break and Harry, Ron, Hermione, Sirius and Remus were in Sirius' place after trial and Sirius being proved innocent. Harry was downstairs with Sirius and Remus while his friends were upstairs.
"Thanks for the help Harry." Sirius said smiling.
"No problem Sirius." he said smiling back.
"We have something for you." said Remus also smiling.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Since Voldemort's back and has some of your blood Dumbledore said it doesn't matter anymore. So, you up to stay with me and Moony?"
"YES! THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU!" Harry gave them a hug and they smiled.
Then they heard a knock on the door. Remus went and opened it and was shocked when he saw who it was.
"Who is it Re-" Sirius then took out his wand. "What are you doing here?"
"To, um, apologize." said Peter.
"You think we're gonna believe you?"
Harry saw a look on his face. "Wands down guys, I think I know what happened to him."
Remus and Sirius were surprised but listened. "What is it pup?" Sirius asked.
"He didn't do it all on purpose, Voldemort put him on the imperious curse. I remember the look on his face. And the sound of his voice. Both from the night I lost my parents and at the graveyard. And think about it, he said 'I didn't mean to' the night you found him my third year."
Sirius and Remus were confused.
"Voldemort put me on it before we fought and I fought it off. And after the dementors I can remember things. Show them every memory you can."
Peter did as told. When they were done with it they stared at him in surprise.
"You know dark magic to good cub." Remus said shaking his head.
They stared at each other.
"Alright, one more chance." Sirius said.
He smiled and nodded.
"Thanks Moony, Padfoot."
"You're welcome Wormtail." they said together.
"What do you say we hear something from the Marauders together?" Harry said.
He then took the map out of his pocket.
The three of them took out their wand and said, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
Then they saw something that they didn't have before.
"Is that the chamber of secrets?" Peter asked.
"You know it. I put it on at the end of third year. After second year I know where it is. It's in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom."
They all shuttered for a second.
"I have the room of requirements there to. That's where we do it."
"Do what?" Peter asked.
"Dumbledore's Army. This year's Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor is awful and works for Fudge so Ron and Hermione talked me into it. The entire school says I'm the best in my year. We just got the patronus charm before vacation."
The three of them nodded.
"Nice." Remus said.
"Can't you make one Harry?" Peter said.
"Of course I can, how else would Sirius be alive?"
"What is it?"
"A stag, like dad." Then he thought of something. "Didn't one of you call me prongslet?"
"That was me. Rats call their kids kitten or pup. Sirius already calls you pup because his anamagus is a dog. And I don't think you would like kitten."
"No thanks."
Then they looked slyly at each other and nodded.
"You up for a fresh set of Marauders?" Sirius asked.
"I'm up, I'll go ask Ron and Hermione."
So he headed upstairs.
"Lily would kill us if she found out." Peter said.
The three of them burst out laughing.
"Now That's our Wormtail." Remus said smiling.
"Welcome back Wormtail." Sirius said smiling.
Peter smiled back. A few minutes later Harry, Ron and Hermione came downstairs.
"You up for a new group?"
They nodded.
"OK, here's what you need to do. Peter is the best at potions in our group so he can take care of that. Right?" Sirius said.
He nodded.
"Not as good as Snape, but pretty good."
"You remember the ingredients?"
He nodded and used his wand to call them.
While he made it Remus got some cups. Half an hour later it was all set.
"Here we go, three cups of the potion. Now, when you finish the cup you're going to be out for a few minutes and find out what you are."
They nodded and took the potion. While they were out of it Sirius, Remus and Peter looked at them.
"What do you think they'll be?" Remus said.
"I don't know. Wait, if Harry already has a patronus is that gonna be his anamagus?" Sirius asked.
"I don't think so, I think you become an anamagus first. But you never know." Peter said.
Five minutes later they came back.
"So, what do we have?" Remus said while rubbing his hands together.
"I'm a wolf." Ron said.
"I'm a rabbit." said Hermione.
"I'm two different ones."
They all looked at Harry.
"I remember reading about that, only really powerful witches and wizards can have two." Remus said.
Then Harry remembered something.
"I think it is clear that we can expect great things from you Mr. Potter. After all, he who-must-not-be-named did great things. Terrible yes, but great." he said quietly.
Everyone stared at him.
"Anyway, what do you have?" asked Sirius.
"Phoenix and, a stag."
"Wow, didn't expect that." Sirius said.
Remus and Peter agreed.
"I guess when you get a patronus that's what you turn into. Just like an anamagus' patronus is what they are." Peter said.
"So, let's see them. Think about what you want to look like." Remus said.
Ron was a grey and white wolf. Hermione was a brown rabbit. And Harry was a red, blue and green Phoenix. When he switched into a stag he was light brown with dark brown antlers. Sirius, Remus and Peter stared at him.
"How much like James can he get?" Peter said.
The other two shook their heads. Harry then turned back into his normal self.
"What?"
"That's exactly what your dad looked like." Remus said.
"How much like dad can I look like?"
Finally they snapped out of it.
"Alright, next is nicknames." Remus said.
"Let's see, Hermione's a rabbit, Ron's a wolf and I'm two different things. Maybe we could go with Prongs Jr since I have the same one as dad?" Everyone nodded with agreement.
"OK, and Phoenix I have no idea."
Everyone thought about it for a few and Peter came up with something.
"I got it!"
"What?" they all said.
"Flames! Phoenix's are set on fire, fly really quickly and Harry's a great flyer like James!"
They all smiled.
"THAT'S PERFECT!" Sirius said.
"We've all seen the games and training. I sneak to school in my dog form and Moony was his DADA third year and would go to games."
"Actually when I heard the news about flying lessons I would hide in Ron's bag and watch. Same with games and training. He has his own tricks and some of prongs' tricks down." Peter said.
Everyone was surprised.
"What? I miss seeing games, especially James during games."
"Alright, Harry's Prongs Jr. and Flames. Now we have me and Hermione." Ron said.
"Let's see, wolfs are lazy. And Ron sleeps during Divination." Harry said.
Everyone but Ron burst out laughing.
"Snoozles?" said Moony.
They all laughed harder.
"No!" he yelled.
"Oh come on Ron, it's perfect! Then again everyone would think we're making fun of him." Harry said.
Everyone nodded.
"Hermione's a rabbit that are fast and good hearing. Speedy? She learns quickly and figures things out to." said Ron.
"I like it. What about you?" Harry said.
Everyone else agreed.
"OK, we've got Prongs Jr., Flames and Speedy. All that's left is Ron." Hermione said.
They all sat there and thought. While they thought Harry's scar started burning out of nowhere. When everyone saw him put his hand on it they all looked at him worried.
Wormtail was a little confused for a second and then remembered he screamed when Voldemort touched him right there.
"Harry? What's wrong?" Hermione said.
"Oh man I'm so sick of this!" he said rubbing it hard.
He tried to ignore it but had trouble. A few minutes later he was fine.
"You OK cub?" Remus asked.
He nodded.
"Let's just get back to a name for Ron."
"Howler?" Ron said. "Wolfs howl and I got a howler second year."
Hermione and Harry started laughing.
"I remember that. Your mum was furious at you!" Harry said.
"Alright, Howler it is. Prongs Jr, or Flames, Speedy and Howler. Next is a name for your team." Sirius said.
They thought for a few minutes when Harry snapped.
"I got it!"
"What?" Ron said.
"We're all Gryffindor's and the colors are gold and red." They all nodded waiting.
"The Golden Group."
Ron and Hermione thought for a second and nodded.
"Sounds good." Hermione said.
"Same here." said Ron.
The three Marauders smiled.
"Alright, we've got nicknames and a team name." Peter said.
"One thing left." Remus said.
"What is it?" Ron asked.
"A leader, James was our leader. Now you need to figure out who your leader is." Sirius said.
"I vote for Harry." said Hermione.
"Same here." Ron said in agreement.
"I have pretty much been the leader since year one. And now the leader of Dumbledore's Army." Harry said.
So he nodded.
"Alright. Everyone says I'm a good leader anyway."
"OK, now let's see who you are of us." Sirius said.
"Prongs was the leader and in a lot of trouble like Padfoot. And Harry gets a lot of detentions, so that's Prongs Jr." Remus said.
"Ron's a little easier to scare like Wormtail, so that's Howler." Sirius said.
"And Hermione is smart and likes to read like Moony, so that's Speedy." Peter said.
So the three of them nodded.
"Your dad would be proud of you for taking after him this much and making your own group. Your mum on the other hand, she'd be ready to scream at you." Sirius said.
"Probably."
Then they heard something.
A few hours later they were all asleep. Harry was tossing and turning.
"You must get me the prophecy or you will be punished." Voldemort said.
"Yes my lord." Lucius said bowing.
Harry tossed and turned and had his hand on his scar.
"Harry? Harry! Wake up!"
He then flew up and saw everyone in his room. Ron and Hermione were at home but Sirius, Remus and Peter were there.
He took deep breaths and rubbed his scar.
"You OK?" Remus asked sitting next to Sirius.
He nodded.
"Harry, you know we know you good enough to tell that you're lying."
He took a deep breath and nodded.
"What was it?" Peter asked.
"Voldemort was talking to Mr. Malfoy about some kind of prophecy and telling him to get it or he'll torture him."
"Anything else?" Remus asked.
"He sounded really angry. Like he was ready to torture him anyway. And I always feel angry now to. Especially with Professor Umbridge yelling at everyone."
"You'll be OK Harry. You proved that he's back so everyone will stop snapping at you and such."
He smiled and then frowned.
"There's something else I should have told you."
He looked at his hand.
"What is it?" Remus asked.
He then took it out and the three of them read it.
"Harry, why didn't you tell me about this? It's illegal to do that!" Sirius said.
"I, I don't know. I'm still not used to people caring about me."
"Does Dumbledore know about this?" Remus asked.
He shook his head.
"He's been ignoring me all year."
The three of them sighed.
"Come on." Sirius said.
"Where are we going?" he asked suspicious.
"To Dumbledore."
The next thing he knew the four of them were in his office and Sirius told him everything.
"Harry, let me see it."
He then looked at it and was furious.
"You're taking me to Madam Pomfrey aren't you?"
He nodded.
When they got there she sighed.
"What is it this time Potter?" she asked.
Sirius had to force him to show her. She was furious when she saw it and Remus explained to.
"Well, there isn't much I can do with this one."
So she did what she could and then wrapped it when she was done. Then they went back to Dumbledore's office.
"One last thing, we made Harry, Ron and Hermione anamagus and Harry wants to help us with Remus. We said yes so we just wanted to let you know."
"Alright, I'll think of something to tell them."
They all nodded and left.
When they got home Harry was tired and fell right back to sleep.
"I really hope she gets sued for this." Sirius said.
Remus and Peter nodded in agreement.
"It was bad enough I had to give him that cut last year. I still feel guilty about doing it!"
"Don't worry Wormtail, Harry forgives most people easily. He may have Lily's temper but he still forgives people eventually." Remus said.
The three of them shivered after thinking of their history with her temper.
