AN: Sorry for the long wait. After I posted the original Chapter 4, I realized (with some help) that the chapter needed to be completely rewritten. So here's the new and improved Chapter 4, with the help of my beta Nattie.

'Thoughts'

"Speech"

Previously:

Morning came too soon for both Maya and Minerva. As soon as they both walked into the Great Hall, Albus was there with a portkey already ready to take her to Potter Manor.

'Can you be anymore eager to get rid of me old man?'

"Are you ready to go?" asked Albus. He looked way to cheery this early in the morning.

'Must all that blasted candy he laces with who knows what.'

"Do I have a choice? Alright, alright, I'm going. See you soon Minnie." And with that Maya was gone.

"Ouch. You may be our guest and all, but did you really have to land on me?"

With a groan, Maya slowly got off a grumbling James Potter. The rest of his family was looking on in amusement, as was a young Sirius Black and Remus Lupin.

"Sorry 'bout that. Are you okay?" questioned Maya.

"Yeah, I'm fine." responded James. But his response was futile, she wasn't listening. Maya was taking this opportunity to take in her surroundings. The inside of the house was large and intricately decorated. The color scheme was neutral and everything seemed to have a place; nothing was out of order.

"Nice to see you again Maya. I hope you're well." Jason Potter seemed to believe that it was time to interrupt Maya from her thoughts.

"Yeah I'm fine, thanks for asking Mr. P" Jason just gave her a look.

"Sorry, Jason. My bad."

"Well, come now, let's give you a tour. Shall we everyone?" Mrs. Potter gestured that everyone should follow her, or else.

'Great, a tour with 3/4 of the Marauders and James Potter's family. What could be better?'

"This should be interesting." muttered Mrs. Potter.

Surprisingly, the tour wasn't that bad. James and Sirius would comment on certain areas of the house, and Remus would roll his eyes and change whatever elaborate story James and Sirius were telling to what actually happened. The eldest Potters were just laughing at everyone: James because they could, Sirius because he was trying to be witty, Remus because he was trying to be sophisticated and Maya because she only learned not to question the boys' until the tour was half over. And that was only after Jason muttered "If you talk to them, they will come."

Maya was starting to become the old Hermione Granger, and it was wonderful.

After Maya found her rooms and finally settled in, it was time for dinner. When she arrived downstairs, she found the house to be in total chaos. James was running away from a rabid black cat and Remus was trying to catch them both. Mrs. Potter was setting the table and Mr. Potter had gotten called to the ministry.

Maya walked over to Mrs. Potter, glanced over at the boys' and asked, "Do I want to know?"

"Not really."

Maya snorted and offered to help with dinner. The girls walked into the kitchen to find a terrified looking Tabby cat staring back at them.

"'Ello Minerva, what brings you here?"

"Nothing much, just trying to get away from that insane old headmaster. Did you know that Albus has been trying to lift everyone's spirits by shooting cheering charms at whoever passes him?"

"You have got to be joking. Please tell me you are."

"I am. I wanted to see how you're doing Maya."

"Fine, I'm perfect. Wonderful, ecstatic, couldn't be better-"

"You're rambling," Stated Minerva. "Now let's go and see how those boys are doing shall we?"

Maya followed Minnie and Mrs. P out of the kitchen, their dinner forgotten. When Minerva saw what was going on with the boys, she looked like she was trying to do everything in her power not to laugh. When she regained control, she put on her best scowl and cleared her throat loudly.

"And what exactly are you doing?"

"Professor! Er- what are you doing here?"

Minerva just glared.

While James was trying to think of an appropriate answer (Remus had joined the spectators, who were all blatantly laughing at James' expression), the black cat that was chasing James suddenly turned into none other than Sirius Black.

"Well shit." Muttered James.

"Shit is right you ignorant bloody ungrateful ass. What the f-"

"Boys! Kindly shut you mouths so I can understand what is going on. And watch your language Black. Now would somebody please tell me what happened?"

"Well you see Professor, Sirius might have told me that he was deathly afraid of cats and it only seemed fair that, as his bestest friend in the whole wide world, I should help him get over that completely unreasonable fear. I was actually doing him a favor if you think about it."

"I cannot believe you said that all in one breath. I am seriously considering the fact that you might have been switched at birth. Amazing..."

"I have thought that many times Mr. Potter. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that we have all come to a unanimous decision. You indeed were switched at birth and are really the son of ROUS (rodents of unusual size). You may now consider yourself accomplished."

"…Thanks I guess Professor." Said James, who looked absolutely lost.

"Who's hungry?" Asked Mrs. Potter suddenly. "It seems that your father isn't going to come home anytime soon, so we might as well eat. Bloody ministry." The last part was muttered under her breath.

"Bloody ministry indeed." responded Maya.

AN: Okay. I finally got that chapter out. No promises on the next one though. I am really really really busy right now so I don't want to make a promise I can't keep. But here's a tip, reviews give me inspiration. And I also want to now how many people are reading this fic and what you all think about it. I have over 700 hits and only 11 reviews. Constructive critism is welcome.

So please tell me what you think.
