"Rose! Wait up! Don't kill James!" Another teenager soon caught up to the group. This boy looked almost exactly like James and the other James except for his eyes, which were green. The newcomer spoke while he panted. "Rose…you don't have…to kill him….You…can blackmail…him….Everyone…but you're dad…will be mad at…him. Just wait; you could use this later." When he finally got his breath back he looked around at the others. When he saw James and James he looked between them and said, "You spend way to much time with Uncle George."
"Al, I didn't clone myself," the non-Marauder James said. Al didn't look convinced.
"You expect me to believe that? You spent nearly all of the Easter holidays in the lab with Fred and Uncle George. I knew you were planning something big for this term, I just didn't know what." Al looked at the others. "Who're they?"
"Al, look at them closely. Don't you recognize them?" Rose had seen pictures of the people standing before her every time she had gone to her Uncle Harry's house. Al actually lived there. Honestly, boys could be so thick sometimes.
"Who are you people?" Sirius suddenly interrupted. "And can you please speed up whatever this is so I can go to breakfast? I'm hungry."
"You're always hungry, Padfoot," Prongs responded, rolling his eyes.
"Padfoot?" Al figured it out. People that had been dead for years were walking as teenagers through Hogwarts. "That's not possible."
"What are you people talking about?" Lily asked, completely confused. "Who are you? I've never seen you before. What year are you in? What house?"
James (not Prongs), Rose, and Al looked at each other, none of them sure what to do. "Should we explain?" Rose wondered aloud.
"Maybe we should take them to a professor," Al suggested.
"And say what, exactly?" James snapped. "Let me talk to you two over here." He dragged Al and Rose over to the other end of the corridor. "What would we say? 'Professor Longbottom, we were downstairs a little while ago and look who we found! My grandparents who have been dead for over 40 years, Sirius Black who has been dead for 25 years, and Remus Lupin and the traitor who have both been dead for 23 years!' Oh yeah, Al, that wouldn't be weird at all!"
"I didn't say it wouldn't be weird; I know this is weird," Al started.
"Should we owl your dad?" Rose interrupted.
"Are you mad? You want us to write him saying that his parents and their friends suddenly appeared at school?" James cried. "And that we found them while you were trying to kill me?"
"We don't have to tell him that last part. And shouldn't he know? Doesn't he have a right to know?" Rose argued.
"I agree with James on this. It would kill him. He has enough to worry about at work," Al replied.
They argued for a few more minutes until they heard foot steps coming from both ends of the corridor. From the corner near Lily and the Marauders came Rose, James, and Al's cousins Fred and Roxanne. From around the other corner came James and Al's little sister Lily.
"Good, you haven't killed him yet!" Fred skidded to a halt in front of Rose and magically enlarged a camera that he pulled from his pocket. Roxanne pulled a tripod from her bag and helped Fred set up the camera.
"Don't listen to them, Rose. They're being stupid. They just want to sell copies of this at the shop. At least I have useful plans for James's idiocy. Blackmail him, make life simpler," Lily looked very hopeful. You could tell she was hoping for a relaxing summer vacation rather than one like all the others when James acts like an annoying idiot.
"I'm not trying to kill him right now. – Fred, get that camera out of my face! – We have more important matters to sort out. Oh stop giving me those looks!" Rose snapped. Thirteen year old Lily looked like she had been told she could never play Quidditch again, Fred's jaw had dropped in an expression that clearly said There's nothing more important than hexing James on camera!, and Roxanne had the same look as when her gerbil got lost in the laundry basket the previous year.
"Turn around and you'll understand," James said, "unless you're slow like Al."
Lily Potter looked like she was going to pass out, Fred just stood there with his jaw hanging lower than before, and Roxanne turned back to stare at her cousins with wide eyes.
"What are our grandparents doing here?" Lily finally managed ask when she found her voice.
