Harry sat up sweating. "Guys. He knows we're here. I don't know how, but he does."
Ron gasped while Hermione looked thoughtful. "Maybe that's why we've been sent back here! We've gained knowledge about him, now we can defeat him! This way, you can live with your parents, and no one need die!" she exclaimed.
Harry bit his lip. This seemed a bit farfetched, but Hermione was usually right, and he trusted her.
Ron nodded his head in agreement. "Yeah and if we fail, we'll just end up in the future we created anyway!" Hermione smiled.
Harry made up his mind, "Alright! Let's do this! But, we don't need to search for Horcruxes..." he paused, thinking it over. "We can tell Dumbledore about them though, that way our future selves will still destroy them, we're basically prolonging the inevitable." Hermione agreed along with Ron.
"What are you planning?" a suspicious voice said from behind them. They jumped and stared guiltily into Ginny's eyes. Orion was standing next to her, a thoughtful expression on his face. Hermione quickly explained their theories and ideas to them, who agreed to help out.
"Something's not right with them." James exclaimed. "Why the hell did they call Professor Knight, Sirius? And Harry's mum was called Lily, I mean how weird is that!"
Sirius shifted about uncomfortably. He knew the answers to both of James' questions, but he couldn't tell them. He'd tried before, but James didn't believe him, why would now be any different?
"Tell me Wormtail, have you uncovered anything new about these three mysterious children?" a high pitched voice asked coldly.
"M-m-my lord, it appears that one of our Professors, their friend, is using an alias. I will uncover the truth soon, I promise." Wormtail squeaked.
"That's not good enough! Crucio!"
Wormtail's scream reverberated around the dimly lit chambers.
Meanwhile, Harry Potter thrashed about in his bed, screaming wildly. Ron was by his side in a second. He quickly drew the curtains, obscuring the views of three concerned Marauders. "Harry, wake up!" he cried.
Harry sat up, his face pale, sweating profusely. "He's betrayed us! He's still working for Voldemort!" Harry sobbed.
Ron closed his eyes in despair. "Right, I'll have to tell Hermione and Ginny. Just breathe and keep calm." he said worriedly. He got up and walked away from the bed. He ignored the Marauders and hurried to the Girl's Dormitories, skipping the trick steps. he pounded on the door loudly, "Hermione, Ginny!" he shouted at the top of his voice.
The door opened to reveal an irate Lily."How did you get here?" she cried tiredly.
Ron ignored her and pushed his way into the room. He quickly shook awake Hermione and Ginny awake, before rushing them up to Harry. Ginny launched herself onto his bed and began to stroke Harry's hair, whispering soothing things in his ear. The Marauders edged forward, anxious to hear what was going on.
"He didn't listen. I told you not to trust him 'Mione." Harry whispered. "HE knows we're here, and it's all his fault!"
At that moment, Peter crept into the room and joined the group of people crowded around Harry. "What's going on James?" he asked innocently.
"You!" Harry bellowed. "YOU TRAITER! WE TRUSTED YOU! YOU KILLED THEM!" Harry launched himself off of his bed and began to pummel the blonde boy. Hermione, Ron and Ginny sat there, watching Harry beat up the boy in silence.
Remus looked at them oddly, while Sirius and James tried to restrain Harry. "Aren't you going to do anything?"
Ron and Ginny stood up and dragged Harry away with ease, while James and Sirius stood to the side panting, and Peter lay whimpering on the floor.
"Hermione, you need to control your mate." Sirius said.
Hermione looked at the boy on the floor. "He deserved it." And with that, she walked out of the Dormitory.
They knew about him. They knew that he was still working for the Dark Lord. But how? Peter pondered this thoughtfully. The only way he was going to find anything out, would be if he follorwed them. Thank goodness for his small animagus form. He quickly transformed into Wormtail and scurried into the Common Room, hoping to hear some information he could relay to his master.
"I can't believe he betrayed us." Hermione whispered, "I tried to help him. I hid the Dark Mark for crying out loud!" Peter felt ashamed, but he had to obey his Master.
Ginny nodded. "I thought we could change him. Make the future better."
Peter's small rat eyes widened. The future? That explained it all! He quickly scurried out of Hogwarts to inform Voldemort of this revelation.
A few minutes later Sirius crept down the stairs. "I want to talk to you. All of you." The four sighed. "Is James your father, Harry?" Harry nodded. "And Lily's your mum?" Another nod. "And that thing with Peter? What was that all about?"
Ginny answered angrily. "He's a filthy traitor. He betrayed Lily and James, killed them, sent you to Azkaban, faked his own death, killed thirteen muggles, murdered Cedric Diggory and tried to kill Harry!"
"Yeah! And don't forget, he slept in my bed for three years!" Ron cried out. Everyone looked at him weirdly.
Sirius looked taken aback. "James and Lily? Is that what we saw? James and Lily dying?" he whispered. Hermione nodded sadly. "I'll kill him, I'll flaming kill him!" Sirius screamed angrily, storming upstairs to his dormitory. "GET UP YOU FILTH LITTLE RAT!" the trio heard him roar. A minute later Sirius was in front of them scowling. "He's gone. Disappeared. Vanished." He whipped out the Marauder's map and growled angrily as he saw the name of what used to be his best friend, run into the Forbidden Forest.
Harry looked up wearily. "Well. It looks like we're going to have to fight again."
Ron and Hermione shared a look and sighed loudly.
