Chapter 8

Get up on the platform thing and say, "THEY AREN'T DEAD! THE ALIENS TOOK THEM!"

"You know those giant circle things I found in the field near my house this summer?" Peter spoke, breaking the silence in the common room.

"You live by a field?" Sirius asked surprised, and then winced as Remus punched him and glared.

"…I knew that."

"Well, I think I knew how they got there. I was reading this muggle book about aliens, and they mentioned this thing called crop circles. And they look exactly like those circle things I found in the field!" Peter excitedly pulled out a book from his book bag and opened it to the page on crop circles, shoving it under the other three marauders' faces.

"I think that's a load of crap Wormy."

"Hold on now Prongs. How do you know we aren't the only life forms in existence?"

"Oh don't tell me you believe in aliens too Moony, I thought you were the reasonable one."

"I mean think about it. There are so many planets, there's bound to be something out there."

"Moony, I think if aliens did exist, they would've come down and eaten our brains already." Sirius said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Sirius, have you ever considered they might be peaceful?"

"…oh."

"LIGHTBULB!" James practically screamed, jumping up from his seat and sending tons of unfinished homework flying in the process.

"What James?"

"I think I just have an idea for our next prank…" He started explaining his idea as the other boys drew in closer, listening intently.

It was just like any other evening. The four houses were at their tables, eating, except, it was unusually quiet. Sure, friends were talking and laughing, but four boys were missing. A couple of the Professors noticed this, but didn't say anything. They decided to just accept things, and enjoy an evening free of the Marauders.

The seeming calm Great Hall was soon disrupted when the doors opened and smoked entered, filling the room. As it cleared, 4 shapes began to form, and soon green skin, and large eyes could be made out on the creatures. A couple of the muggleborns began running around and screaming, "WE'RE BEING TAKEN OVER BY ALIENS!" The rest of the young witches and wizards just stood there, most in shock.

"Greeting Earthlings." One of the green human like beings said.

"We come in peace." another said, holding up his hand.

"AND THEN WE SHALL RIP YOUR BRAINS OUT AND MAKE JUICE!" The third one screamed, before one of them covered its mouth. There was a brief silence before chaos ensued. Many of the younger students started crying, and a good deal of the girls started screaming. A couple of the guys ran towards the aliens, trying to tackle them, but the aliens escaped, and locked the doors behind them.

They began running towards the Gryffindor tower, slowly ripping their faces off as they ran. By the time they were at the portrait of the Fat Lady, it was apparent that in fact, there had been no aliens, but 4 teenage boys. They grinned at each other before heading to the showers to remove any trace of the green latex Remus has charmed to cover their faces.

A few months had come and gone, and the students of Hogwarts soon began to forget the alien incident had ever happened. Life carried on as normal until a couple of the first years died in a freak accident. Everyone gathered outside for their funeral, shocked that such a thing would happen. For the first time in a who knows how long, Hogwarts was actually quite morbid and gloomy. All was quiet, the students paying their respects. That is, until one boy known as Peter Pettigrew ran up onto the platform.

"THEY AREN'T DEAD. THE ALIENS TOOK THEM!" He shouted before jumping off the stage, and running into the castle.
