Return Of The Marauders
Warnings: This is going to be the night after he gets the map and without anyone doing anymore decisions as he decides on his own judgements now. And they decide to jump over a few things in this. As her second prophecy is delayed and the only thing left for them to worry about is getting the dementors out of the school as he spends the rest of the term in peace.
Disclaimers: Harry Potter doesn't belong to me, the story belongs to me, everything else belongs to J.K. Rowling and Warner brothers
Chapter 2: Finding Wormtail
"Scabbers has a missing toe on his front paw and the only thing they found of him was his finger, looks like he was hoping one of us was going to be becoming friends with Harry and with it now. It's the fact that last year you spent the entire summer with us at the time. Though with that in mind, Professor were you hoping we'd meet or was this self full-filining prophecy now, Sir?" Ron asked and he nodded as I looked at them at that.
As I answered that remark as I looked at him. "Self full-filling prophecy, I'd say that fate had a hand in bringing you and your family into my life, but first you, then Hermione and then I meet Neville and then to top it off is Draco. But you became my version of the marauders, though the twins are considered that now what with the fact. They over did it now, but while they got in trouble for the amount of pranks they pulled right now."
"We get in trouble for doing the right thing here guys, though to us, we're just in the wrong place at the time. Case in point was being found by the scene of the crime last year, though just because I have his ability to talk to snakes. Doesn't mean I'm Slytherin's heir." I said and they nodded to that remark, before the answering response came out of the map at that remark as I heard my father's voice say it to me gently.
"That's what the part of 'having powers that rival the dark lord' means son, you're his complete equal and even though you carry his brother wand. And gained his ability for Parseltongue, it's how you use it that counts, but to put this bluntly. It's that Slytherin wasn't a Pureblood driven maniac like everyone speculated, when you're raised as a Pureblood truths gets tangled."
"But though you're carrying his power to gain access to the chamber, you're the descendant, the heir, of Godric Gryffindor, by blood, and his by conquest. He didn't like the idea of muggles training, but he accepted the need for it. But it's that his grandson that created the Pureblood propaganda 900 years of this. And the facts get so out of hand, that you don't know where they started from."
"But the sword belongs to us, we're the heirs of Gryffindor, and your knowledge in this was based off of Greek mythology. You killed one Titan and then used the spoils to destroy another last summer. But he's going to return eventually, but whatever was destroyed is the key to the last part of the prophecy. 'And neither can live while the other survives.'." I read out and we nodded to that.
"Well I think we just found the first piece to it and I have a lot of studying to do later for the next three years now. Hey dad, did any of the stories you read to me as a baby and toddler have a basis of fact to them?" I asked and a second message was written out. "Yes son they did, in fact the three brothers was true, but we're descended from the third brother, that was his cloak, it's been our family for 2 centuries."
"Being passed from father to son for 250 years now, but here's the truth, our family blood line may have started with Gryffindor. But we're directly descended from the third brother. Ignotus Peverell, but the story was the deathly hallows. To combat Voldemort, it's by using of the hallows and whatever he created is the antichrist to them, because the hallows."
"The key word in there is hallowed, hallowed ground, to us that study Christianity it's a matter of the work of Christ. We have the cloak, Voldemort's grandfather had the resurrection stone and the third ended up in the hands of your magical guardian. After he won its allegiance in a fight with Gellert Grindelwald." I read out and we nodded and I sighed as I answered that gently.
"We just hit a magical version to the rapture, the day he returns and the government doesn't do a thing about it is the day the rapture begins. Voldemort, well never mind the alias his name is Tom Marvolo Riddle, but he's the Antichrist. I'm Christ and it's a magical version to the rapture, everyone loyal to me are angels, and the Slytherins. The ones that turned into his followers and still are, are demons." I said and they nodded to me.
"So to destroy the antichrist completely, we have to destroy every object containing his soul and we just did the first by doing the diary." Ron said and I nodded. "Ginny, baby sister, I know you want to help, but it's too dangerous, but what you can do. To help, is help protect our junior grouping, because I don't doubt this war gets worse. Just after the Professor dies, is murdered or whatever, as they do a hostile take over."
"As to that right now, it's while Ron and the duo have the hard job of tracking down and destroying every single one of these things right now. We got to worry about making sure no one he's close to is murdered." George said and she nodded with a sigh. "You do this, just return to me safely, I love you, you're my everything. I'd never survive the heartbreak if I lost you, Harry." she said and I pressed my forehead to hers gently.
"I will baby, I promise, but in order to do this I need a way to travel and live in the magical work without being seen. That's my only chance, and another thing, I could use a tutor training me in the ways of our world, and my station. Learning to work with what I have and it also means let me run my hunches, Mione, dad was a Auror. So that's what I'm doing for a living, after we graduate, my wife a professional quidditch player."
" I'm coming back, I promise, but once we destroy 2/3's of the object, if we can't find the sword as its imprgenated with Basilisk venom. We come directly to the source and harvest the fangs off of her, she's a nesting female." I said and they nodded. "So Neville I get down there, and grab as many fangs as we can, stuff them in a bag along with object number whatever it is and give it to via third party?" she asked and I nodded.
"Yeah that's exactly what we mean Ginn, but you more then most attract trouble Harry, but to repeat you remark here at the moment now. But you don't go looking for trouble, the trouble finds you every term and we just found it five months in advance now here, but Scabbers is Pettigrew." Fred said sharply, and I nodded. "Well there's only way to know for sure, why the hell is the cat after him?" I asked and Remus covered his eyes.
"He's a half kneazle, half kneazles know the difference between real animals and animagi." Dumbledore said to me and I nodded to the news as I said it to her. Before Fred said it for both of us then. "That's why he's after the rat, the cat knows Scabbers is an animagi, uh summoning charm, summoning charm, accio Scabbers!" he shouted and he came flying in through the window as he landed on the table at that.
Looking down he saw the map as I saw his eyes widen at that and looked up as Remus grabbed him by the scruff of the neck as he brought him to his eye level then firmly then. "Well, well, well, you think we'd never find out you're still alive, Peter, before you say it I'd find it interesting in knowing." he said and the rat started squirming at that. "So care to tell me why an innocent man would want to spend 12 years as a rat if you're trying to stay hidden, so if you're really a rat,
"We can check that right now." he said and the rat started squeaking in a panic at that. "Dad said that the dementors said that Sirius was saying the same thing every night, he's at hogwarts, he's at hogwarts. So if Fudge gave him the paper, I think he saw my family in that news clip and saw that I was Harry's best friend. And put two and two together and realized he's in the dorm with us and when the time came he could grab him and take him to Riddle, Professors."
"So that sums it up now, and thanks to him, he's got Mione beyond scared after one collapse and crash right off the broomstick and it's nearly a month later, my brothers give him the map and the truth comes out. So no dementors and no more collapses anymore, and it's by getting the truth out right now, as we solved two mysteries in three years and we just solved a third now, Professor." Ron said and he nodded as he looked at the rat as Dumbledore pulled his wand out.
As they dropped him on the floor as he tried to run and then Dumbledore zapped him as he turned him back. As I saw a man not much taller then me and Mione, with long nails, buck teeth and wet eyes the trio and I pushed the girls behind us at that as I looked at them as I said it quickly then. "Before you get any ideas, stay away from us, you rat." I snapped at him then as he looked at her and I snapped at him a second time.
"Severus, you better get in here, Severus." I called out, using his first name for the first time in 2.5 years and I heard an immediate shout. "Potter, Harry, what's wrong?" he said as he charged into the room. "We got him it's been in reverse, he sold mum out." I said and he nodded in fury at that. "So did you think he'd never tell me this finally Peter" he said with a stern growl at that. "There, that's the clue breaker, you and mum?" I asked and he nodded gently.
"Yes, your mother and me, we were you and Mione together." he said and I looked down. "Fresh start, we start over Severus." I said and he smiled. "So if you know and knew mum, who is she, or Dan, is to you?" I asked and he smiled and I saw the changes one smile did to his face then. "My best friends, I just tried to protect her, but I never knew who sold them and you out to him, but this helps in healing the damage finally." he said and we smiled and hugged him.
"I've got to get dad up here." she said and he nodded. "You and your brother are two much like his mother and me as it is, your father is like Ronald." he said and she and I nodded. "We met when we were 9, and your father didn't mind we were one of each, in fact it was him that contacted me." he said and she nodded to him. "Me and my powers, he told you?" she asked and he nodded to her. "Though looking like a girl version of your father in truth here now."
"Your entirely personality is my Lilly." he said and we both smiled. "Like I said we start over, so this means you saw mum in me, and were trying to control your own pain at losing your best friend, near imprint, if she and you were that close?" I asked and he nodded. "Second chance we don't have to hide anymore, I love your mother, I always did, it was me, I got you into witness protection, Harry." he said to me and I nodded in relief he said that news.
"So it was you, it was always you, you did it, you turned my parents in?" I said sternly and Pettigrew looked at me shaking. "Did you forget something, you hexed this map to tell the truth, so if this map never lies, it means Percy knew you were alive to get into the ministry. He was keeping your secret you little rat, why doesn't it surprise me, that the perfect boy in the family is covering for a murderer and a traitor." I said sternly and he swallowed hard at that.
"Stay the hell away from them, Pettigrew, I mean, you touch them and I'll hex you into oblivion, keep your hands of my girls." I growled then as I positioned myself in front of Ginny at that. "Easy son, easy, hold fire, don't shoot." Remus said and I nodded as I tried control my alpha male posture and temper as I heard a knock on the door then. As Rubeus Hagrid and Minerva McGonagall walked into the room and froze at that the sight of him then as I said it..
"Grandma, I found the real traitor, Black was innocent all of this time, you've had it in reverse. In fact now, Pettigrew framed him for murdering 12 people and my parents." I said and she nodded as she moved to me at that. "If he's alive, then Black was innocent all this time?" Severus said and I nodded to him. "Yes Sir, and you better read this right now, I have the family map of the school, the twins gave it back to me now." I said and he nodded and read it gently.
"Sirius's mental voice told me, through that, what really happened that night, but that map never lies, that's how I found Pettigrew. But the twins returned my family property back to me, it belongs to dad, but hearing his version of the story. That's too much, it's too much right now." I added and they nodded. " He destroyed my family to save his own arse, I'm never forgiving him for that, and I don't have to hear the words." I said and sighed as I looked at him as I said it
"But you all would rather die then betray my parents right now, and that's the difference now Professor, whatever it is between us we fix, as you are the ones raising me for a three years. And with that in mind I'm turning him into Mad Eye, but I never want to see him, Pettigrew, again, all that's left of my family, my parents are what's left of the Marauders, the duo, I need my father wolf and godfather." I said as I slumped into the desk as Ginny hugged me from behind then.
"Harry please your parents wouldn't want me killed, Lilly and James would have understood." Pettigrew started to say and Severus snapped at him. "How dare you speak to Harry, how dare you face him, how dare you speak of Lilly and James in front of him!" he snapped and Dumbledore pulled his wand. "You sold James and Lilly to Voldemort, didn't you?" Remus said sternly and he tried to back track. "I didn't mean too, you have no idea the powers he possesses."
"Severus tell me, what would have done, what would you have done?" he said and Severus practically screamed in anger as he looked at him in grief stricken anger then. "I would have died, I would have died rather then betray my friends." he said and Remus finished it off at that. "You should have realized Peter, that if Voldemort didn't kill you then we would have, together." he said and I quickly snapped it out at that remark as I saw a wand lying on the floor then.
And then picked it up, as I pulled mine and saw it was virtually identical to it. "No, not yet." I said and they turned to me. "Harry, this man." Severus started to say and I nodded. "I know what he is, but I say we call Mad eye here, and turn him into the ministry." I said and Pettigrew sighed in relief at that. "Bless you boy, bless you." he said as he reached out to me at that and I kicked his hand away from my leg then as I snapped at him then as I pushed Mione behind me then.
"Get off, I said we'd bring him here, then after that the dementors can have you, but from this day forward, you're dead to me, Peter. As for my parents, I doubt they would want the trio to become murderers just for you." I said and Severus and Remus looked at each other before Remus said it softly. "You're the only one who has a right to decide because of him your parents and 139 people are gone, but think about what he has done." he said and I nodded as I answered him.
"We turn him in, and the dementors can have him, at least this way we can delay for another year. But if anyone deserves that kiss or prison, he does. He's got the blood of a couple hundred on his hands." I said and she stroked her hand through the hair at the back of my head and Fred squeezed my shoulder gently at that as Dumbledore nodded to me then gently as I passed the two wands to him as I looked at McGonagall then.
"Professor do you need a wand to transform if you're not as good at transfiguration as the others are?" I asked and she nodded. "Yes, and if he has two and..., Priori incantatem!" she snapped and the second wand blasted a green light and I froze at that as I slumped into the desk. "He tried to kill me, that's his wand, it's him, not Pettigrew, but Riddle, that's his wand grandma." I said and she nodded as she stuck it in her pocket as they tied him to the chair then.
"Mione, they've been creating books of us, we're on year three do it. "I said and she nodded as she shouted it out then. "Accio Harry Potter and The prisoner of Azkaban." she called out as a book came flying in through the window then. "We just landed on the truth, the next chapter is the dementors kiss. But we destroy his wand, or just jinx the entire room as an anti animagi prison cell and the windows are locked." Ron said and I nodded to him and they sighed at that remark.
"But that sums it up, I just delayed his coming back for another 18 months now, by finding him now." I said and she nodded, "We didn't want you learning the truth like that, but with the fact you got it in reverse, we have to confirm that." I heard from my charms professor as I heard another voice say it to finish his sentence. "Indeed and I'm disgusted he was ever a Gryffindor Harry." I heard from Nearly headless Nick at that as he walked into the room then.
"Tell the Fat lady the truth, he's innocent, he was after Pettigrew all this time, we just have to get Sirius and he needs to be in his dog form now." Remus said and he nodded as he left the room. "What a night, we just solved this in one shot, with Sirius free now, I can live like a normal young wizard, but this Christmas is here at the school. So whatever's going on next year I have a tutor in the ways of whatever my station is and I can learn from the best now in this."
"Professor if you're a potions master you must have done something to become this good I could use your training now and I want to get to know the real you now." I said and he nodded as he sighed in relief then as he said it. "I was raised a half blood, but your mother brought a muggle book with her to school when we were kids, it was about looking past the surface, but you look dangerous and you're not, as is him, once we cool down, Malfoy, it's he doesn't look dangerous."
"And he is, but that's the part Lupin and I need to train you in son, but you're the best student we have at the moment in the case of D.A., but he's doing magical creatures, well we need a true auror to teach the real step next. And if you're playing detective for the last three years, and you just solved this one." Severus said and I nodded. "Were you training me that year, so you could lead me into realizing it was him." I said and he nodded as he read it a second time then.
Before looking at the message and then put it down. "Peter Pettigrew, oh dear Merlin, all this time you were alive..., and..., oh you little, all this time Black was innocent, missing finger and you." Snape said and I nodded as I looked at the map and he read it and nodded. "Potter he's right, I was your mother's best friend, before that mistake. Year 1 I decided to honor her by protecting you that year from Quirrel, clean slate." he said and I nodded as he shoved him into the wall.
"You know Petunia?" I asked and he nodded as his eyes narrowed as he answered me."Indeed I do Potter care to tell me, why you're asking that?" he asked and he looked at Hermione then and sighed. "I knew your parents you two, in fact your parents were my best friends, after fifth year, they went back to muggleborn and muggle. I regretted that ever since, but I overheard the prophecy, but I didn't hear the second half of it,
" I was trying to lead him in a new direction, but Peter hear turned them in after that, so with that, it's time for the truth to come out, we're going with you so we can get Sirius in here and I can do a testimony now and we get Mad Eye and Bones in here. So we can do this and we can consider this your christmas present that we got you back together with your godfather now." he said and I nodded as went back out and I looked at around at that as I thought it over then.
