Where we left the younger Padfoot, the old(er) Padfoot and the Old(er) Moony…
"How did you manage to smuggle all this crap in here?" The older Lupin asked throwing objects off him.
Both Sirius' helped him up and they all stared at the pile of junk.
"It's amazing how all that," The younger Sirius pointed at the pile, "managed to fit in there." He then pointed at the small cupboard.
"Let's just get the map and leave," The older Lupin Accio-ed the map into his hand. "I solemnly swear I am up to no good."
The younger Sirius and older Sirius both grabbed the map at the same time. They both looked at each other and then started fighting over who got the map. The older Lupin grabbed it out of both of their hands and shoved them out the door, "Prongs and Prongslet are just now leaving the Room of Requirement, Dumbledore isn't in his office anymore and Lupin is still sitting in his office. We have to go to the Potion's classroom and get the ingredients."
The younger Lupin…..
"Well now what?" Lupin asked himself.
He was alone in Dumbledore's office with nothing to do. So he sat there.
The Stag and his son……
"Gryffindor Common Room?" James asked smiling.
Harry nodded and they went stealth up to the seventh floor. Everyone was still in class so the halls were clear.
James and Harry got to the picture of the Fat Lady and she raised an eyebrow, "Password?"
Harry and James just shrugged their shoulders.
"No password, no entry," The Fat Lady replied.
"Caput Draconis."
The Fat Lady swung open and James and Harry followed the Gryffindor student with neon green hair, "You're going to get in so much trouble, James."
"Tonks, how are you?" James took off his mask and sat across from Tonks, next to Harry, who left his mask on.
"Good," Tonks replied.
"Why aren't you in class?" James asked.
She shrugged her shoulders, "McGonagall kicked me out."
"Why? What did you do?" James smiled.
Tonks rolled her eyes, "Something about me being loud. (James chuckled) But just because I was yelling across the room doesn't mean I was being loud."
Harry sat there not making a noise.
Tonks stared at him, "That isn't Sirius."
"I know," James sighed. "Sirius is with someone else."
Tonks sat up, "What? James and Sirius not together? Wow, that's amazing. The world must be coming to an end."
Then bell rang for classes.
James laughed, "Tell me about it." Everyone looked towards the portrait hole and James re-masked himself in time to find some students walking in.
At the sight of James and Harry the students bowed, "We won't say anything, I promise." Then they ran off back out of the portrait hole half scared.
"Everyone's doing that today," James sounded as though he was whining.
Tonks eyed him, "You didn't start that rumor?"
"What rumor?" James asked.
Tonks shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. Something about people dressed in were coming to kill Lupin. Someone told everyone that if they see people dressed in all black to bow and show respect because if they didn't those people dressed in black would murder whoever didn't show respect. So basically, everyone thinks you're here to kill someone. It's rather confusing. How many of you are there?"
James thought for a minutes, "Six and I didn't start that."
Tonks laughed, "Oh well everyone's taking it seriously."
Harry looked away from Tonks' glare, "James, who is that?"
"Harr-" James started but Harry elbowed him in the rib, "it. Harriet. His name is Harriet. He's my son-" James almost said but Harry elbowed him another time, "Uh, he's my mom's sister's uncle's brother's step-sister's daughter-in-law's son twice removed. That's what I meant."
Tonks just looked at him, "If you say so." Tonks stood up and sighed, "I have to get to Potions before Snape throws a fit."
"Well, you might see my second half and company," James smiled as she left.
"Let's go Prongs," Harry said. "We have to meet the rest of them in the Great Hall."
They went stealth down to the Great Hall.
Orion, John and Orion (get it? It's their middle names? No? Oh well I thought it was funny.)
Both Sirius' and the older Lupin stole the ingredients when the potion's classroom was empty but now they were stuck. The three didn't leave the classroom in time and now were stuck in the classroom, under a cloak.
The three had a difficult time moving within the cloak making sure that no one would see, hear, or touch them in any way.
"Someone is brewing polyjuice potion," Snape sneered and looked around. "Potter and Black were here."
The younger Sirius made a face, "He doesn't have any proof that is was us and he assumes that it was. That's mean."
The three made it over to the closed door almost without any problems. They tripped a couple times almost falling on a couple of students and the cloak had almost slipped off them. The younger Sirius moved just in time for the potion's door to swing open.
"Sorry, I'm late Pro-" Tonks trailed off as she got a glimpse of the younger Sirius' pant leg. "Are you serious?" She then laughed at the double meaning.
Snape crossed his arms, "Ms. Tonks, how great it is for you to join us half way through the class."
Tonks sat in the chair closest to the group under the cloak, "Yeah, sorry bout the. I ran into a relative." Tonks pretended to stretch and hit the younger Sirius in the gut.
"She's on to us," The older Sirius said.
Tonks leaned back in her chair, "Yeah, I think you know him. His name was James Potter."
"Potter?" Snape hissed the name. "Why is he here?"
Tonks shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know but he did say something about making your life miserable."
"She's good," The younger Sirius whispered.
"Ten points for Gryffindor," Snape glared.
Tonks rolled her eyes, "Somehow I don't really care."
Snape walked over to her, "Ms. Tonks, I assure you that I will send you out of my class for the year and you won't be learning potions."
Tonks stood up, "Wow. I'm so scared. I can always call my favorite cousin. He's a pro at potions. I know that you personally know that Sirius will love to teach me. He's knows everything at potions. I could care less."
"Out," Snape ordered.
Tonks turned and opened the door and waited a minute. As the three Marauders walked out the older Lupin bent down, "Before you leave call him Snivellus and then run."
Tonks smiled and turned back to Snape, "See you later, Snivellus." With that she slammed the door.
"We can't talk now," The younger Sirius said from under the cloak. "I'll see you later."
Both Sirius' and Lupin headed towards the Slytherin dormitory.
The Loner Marauder….
The younger Lupin was still in Dumbledore's office alone. He was sitting there staring at the ceiling. "I'm Marauder in Dumbledore's office….alone," He said aloud. "What should I do?"
He looked around the room at all the portraits. Each headmaster was wearing a bright colored robe or a weird color robe, "What's up with people and weird colors?" Lupin asked himself aloud. Lupin smiled he had an idea.
He walked over to the Headmaster's chair and started waving his wand. He did some spells here and there so that whoever and whenever someone sat in the chair their clothes would turn straight black. With in a couple minutes, the younger Lupin turned his robes orange and sat in the chair. They suddenly turned black. He tried this a few more times. Pink to black, green to black, purple to black, blue to black, red to black. Each time it had worked. Lupin smiled and his job and his head suddenly turned towards the door, "Why do I have a feeling I'm going to be needed in the Great Hall? I'm kind of worried now."
With that he turned and made his way down to the Great Hall.
Blacks and Lupin
Both Sirius' and the older Lupin were stationed outside the Slytherin Portrait.
Both Sirius' sighed because they tried every word known to man but nothing seemed to be the password, "Doesn't Snape make up the password?" The older Sirius asked.
The younger Sirius sighed, "Yeah."
The spent about ten minutes thinking of everything Snape could have thought up but nothing works.
The were still under the invisibility cloak but the portrait still replied thinking it was just a clear ghost who couldn't go through walls. They were about to give up when a little Slytherin student appeared.
"Password?" The portrait asked.
The Slytherin sighed with disgust, "James Potter and Sirius Black are the most conceited people on the face of the Earth."
With that the portrait swung open.
They followed the girl in, their mouths hanging open. They waited till the student left to take off the cloak and their masks.
"James Potter and Sirius Black are they most conceited people on the face of the Earth?" The older Lupin asked. "What kind of password is that?"
The younger Sirius looked as though he was going to cry, "I feel so loved. Who would think that Snape would think of us? I have got to tell Prongsie this. He'll be so excited."
The older Lupin shook his head, "You two really are the most conceited people on the face of the Earth."
The older Sirius turned on him, "We are not! Just because we are the most awesome people ever doesn't mean we're conceited. We are just merely stating a fact."
The older Lupin ignored him, "Well don't go overboard. I'm going to go put the Map back. I'll meet you outside the portrait hole in ten minutes."
The Slytherin common room was dark. It was decorated with green and black everything. It really was like a dungeon. With in ten minutes though, it wasn't anything like it was before. It was pink and purple and had rainbows and unicorns all over the walls.
The Sirius' looked at their work, "Isn't this great, Prongslet?" The older Sirius smiled.
"Prongslet isn't here, Padfoot," The younger Sirius replied.
The older Sirius' eyes got wide with worry, "What?! He has to be here! Prongslet!" The older Sirius started breathing hard. "Prongslet!" He grabbed the younger Sirius' shirt and brought him only inches from his face, "Where is my godson?"
"The Great Hall," The younger Sirius replied.
The older Sirius ran out of the Slytherin common room and found the older Lupin doing something to the portrait, "Padfoot what's wrong?"
The older Sirius grabbed the older Lupin's shirt, "My godson is missing!"
Lupin saw the panic in his eyes and the fit that was coming, "Okay, Padfoot. Calm down. I saw him in the Great Hall with Prongs and the other Moony. Take a deep breath."
"Don't tell me to calm down," The older Sirius yelled. "My godson is missing. He could get hurt or worse! He could be dying. I need him!" He ran off towards the Great Hall.
The younger Sirius stood next to him, "So I'm guessing this is bad."
The older Lupin sighed, "I hope Harry's in the Great Hall. Cause if he isn't not only will I die cause I lied to him but he's going to throw a fit until he finds Harry."
"Yeah, this isn't good," The younger Sirius said.
"We should go after him and make sure he doesn't kill someone," The older Lupin said.
Where the Troublemakers all come together and make more trouble….
James and Harry walked into the Great Hall and found the younger Lupin standing in the middle with all the students looking at him. It was lunch time now. The younger Lupin waved and James and Harry made their way over.
"Did you get the task done?" Lupin whispered.
Harry nodded and within that moment his body got tense and he grabbed James's shirt and brought him only inches from his face, "Where is Sirius?"
"I don't know!" James saw the seriousness in his eyes.
Someone coughed in the dead silence and all heads turned to Dumbledore, "A word please."
"Harry don't take your mask off," Lupin said as he and James took their masks off.
"I want Sirius," Harry gripped James' arms tighter.
"After Dumbledore," he younger Lupin stressed.
James followed the younger Lupin and Harry wouldn't take his nails out of James' arm.
"May I ask why you are still here Mr. Lupin?" Dumbledore asked.
"We thought we misplaced something," James tried to smile but Harry's nails dug deeper into his skin.
"Did you find what you misplaced?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes," The younger Lupin said. "We're just waiting for our other halves to show up and then we'll leave."
"Ow," James yelled. "Look I know you want your godfather but you need to ease up on my arm before you snap it in two, okay?"
Harry let go of James' arm, "I want my godfather!" The lights began to flicker.
Outside the Great Hall….
The older Lupin and younger Sirius found the older Sirius just feet from the Great Hall, "Either Hogwarts installed electric lights or Harry is having a temper tantrum."
The older Lupin and younger Sirius took a step back, "Padfoot you need to get in there before Prongslet starts blowing things up!"
Sirius ran into the Great Hall, "Prongslet?!"
Harry turned and saw the older Sirius standing there.
Sirius and Harry ran towards each other and embraced each other in a tight hug.
"Prongslet, are you okay?" Sirius asked. "Are you hurt? Bleeding? Dead?"
"I'm fine," Harry replied. "Clearly not dead."
Sirius and Harry didn't even let go of each other as they walked back to the group, everyone looking at them weird.
"We're just going to leave now," The younger Lupin said feeling a little bit awkward. "They have a weird relationship no one can really figure out. They can't be without each other, sorry Professor."
"I don't understand. Can you expand on it?" Dumbledore asked.
The younger Lupin sighed and thought for a minute, "Well see, they are godson and godfather. And well godfather didn't meet godson until godson was thirteen and then at fifteen godfather left godson and just recently they were reunited and are glued to each other. It's hard to explain, Professor. You really have to be around them for a long length of time to completely grasp the concept."
Dumbledore's eyes went from the glued together Harry and Sirius to the younger Lupin to James who was holding his invisibility cloak, "Mr. Potter is that an invisibility cloak?"
James smiled, "Yeah, my father gave it to me. It's been handed down for generations and I'm hoping to give it to Harry one day."
"May I borrow it?" Dumbledore smiled.
"Sure," James said and handed it over.
"Thank you Mr. Potter."
With that they left the Great Hall, The older Sirius and Harry still glued together. However the younger Sirius reemerged smiling, "I'm just saying. I didn't do it, Professor. I don't promise anything but hear me out. I would say my regular speech about how I am innocent until proven guilty but I don't think I need to. But remember I didn't do it." With that he disappeared.
