AN sorry about the delay. My grandmother died last week so I went to attend her funeral. This chapter is dedicated to her, Irene Ganster who lived a long happy life. Thank you Angel JJK, Twilight Crazy Fan, Katie Chandler, MaegenM.0816, SeaGoddess10011, Flying Nargles, sissam93, and lolly59034 for reviewing. There will be more action in the next chapter. I promise!

We decided to have lunch before we got explanations about the 'fifth marauder' idea they had in their heads. Molly seemed to know this Mahira chick, which was a good sign that she was okay. I still didn't really trust her though. She seemed to be sending me curious yet angry glares at me when others weren't looking. I was a bit curious why though. Could someone actually bother with an explanation?

Harry was looking a bit pissed too. I couldn't blame him. This had as much to do with his parents as mine. I knew for sure that we were going to call him Prongslett for a while and that he will never be able to get rid of it once I told the marauders. Then again it might backfire and I will be Snufflett or something stupid like that. Ugh, if they started something like the 'amazing chameleon' that they got after they went to a muggle zoo I will have to do something better than that old prank.

I enjoyed my lunch as much as I could without thinking about Mahira. She was a real mystery. Why haven't I heard of her at all? She was spending most of her time staring at Sirius with a look I really didn't like to see being shown to my Dad. Worse, he was showing the same loving gaze to Mahira. I so didn't want a stepmom. Plus I bet this girl would be one of those types of people who only treated their boyfriend/girlfriend's kid nice so he/she could impress his date.

She seemed to be angry at me. I guess it is because she was close to my dad and didn't know I was born. If she was angry about not knowing about me, she should be angry at Sirius. I never did anything to her other than being born. This woman was insane.

Sirius POV (yay a new point of view!)

She was here. Chirp was here! I haven't seen her in fifteen years eight months and nineteen days. I wonder if she still loves me or if she has gone after some other girl. I still love her that's for sure. She seems to be a bit angry about Izzy. I hope she can forgive me. I mean, I didn't do that on purpose Marly just went after me like the second she left for the Order meeting.

I looked at Mahira again. She was chatting with Molly and Ginny. I wish she had met her sooner. Ginny is so much like her and they would have been great together. I wonder if the Weasleys (other than Molly and Arthur of course) knew about their Aunt. Well, they will soon.

I stood to get the rest of the rooms attention. They looked up respectfully, well except for Mundungus, Molly, Remus, and Mahira. They knew me too well to respect me. I instead addressed mostly the kids since they needed the most explanations since it related their family. "Okay. Time for explanations. Who wants to start Molly or Mahira?"

They looked at each other and broke into one of the most disciplined form of choosing: Rock, Paper, Scissors. The battle wasn't that epic, but Mahira won. My gal was good. Molly then looked at her children mostly. She looked worried. I take it she did not talk about Mahira much or made the connection. Thank God I am not in her position.

"I'm sorry I never told you about her, but it was for your safety." She looked terrified of their reactions to what she was going to say, bur continued. "Mahira is my little sister."

The reactions were different. From Bill and Charlie who were nine and seven when she left their was a gasp of recognition. From the others mainly Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny was a snort that translated to "Mum doesn't have a sister. The only sibling she has is Gideon and Fabian and they died years ago." Mahira was just trying to hide under the table from all the stares she was getting, and the rest of the order were grinning sheepishly. Izzy was just shocked. I wish I could have told her that the Weasleys were my girlfriend's family, but I had to keep the secret.

Molly continued despite the commotion. "We were really close until I left for Hogwarts. She was only seven, but we had a really close connection, which I guess is because we were the only girls. Unfortunately while I was gone she was corrupted by Gideon and Fabian. Finally the day came and she arrived at Hogwarts, excited and cheerful waiting to learn how to brew potions and cast spells." She paused, biting her lips. "Sirius, why don't you continue, you were with her on the train."

"Okay." I said, preparing to talk about the crazy train ride. "James, Remus, Lily, Snivellus, and I were all in a compartment talking and the discussion turned a bit negative when we started talking about how Slytherin was the worst house. Snape began to attack before we could draw our wands. Luckily, the compartment door slid open and Mahira came in and shot a well aimed Jelly legs jinx at Snape. It made us friends and Snape our mortal enemy, so all in all a good day."

Fred and George laughed. I could really tell that they were second generation marauders. "Anyway, that night we were sorted and became close." I could remember that really well. Its like it was only yesterday, but at the same time it was nearly twentyfive years ago.

*James, Remus, Mahira, the redhead, me, and the other first years made our way into the Great Hall. Great. That was a word that was too small to describe what a large and beautiful place I had come upon. How did Bella and Cissy ever come home for the break anyway? At least Andy had some sense.

Professor McGonagall said a lot of stuff about how you were sorted. I didn't really pay attention much. Eventually she got to calling names to be sorted. Oh yay, I was first.

"Black, Sirius" She called in her Scottish accent.

I walked to the stool looking brave, but feeling scared. What if I had to join the family in Slytherin? I don't want to be there. They might fake being proud, but they expect me to be in there. Like I could even abandon my new friends anyway. I've only known them for a few hours, but its like I have known them all my life. McGonagall set the sorting hat on my head and I prepared to make all my family faint. Hopefully knock their head on the table at the same time so they can't remember the thing anyway.

"Ah, Mr. Black. It seems like you are a trouble maker, eh?" The hat thought, startling me.

"Yes, Mr. Hat." I thought back innocently.

"You seem to not want to join your family, is that so?"

"Heck yeah. I'm done with being abused by them and I don't want to follow their paths."

The hat paused and I was afraid it was going to send me to slytherin anyway. How could it do that to me? I don't want to be with all the others. I want to be independent and a family rebel.

"Oh, don't worry, Mr. Black. I'm not going to send you there against your will. No, I think that you belong in Gryffindor!" He yelled the last part and I ran to the house, finaly thinking how I was free from the family name. I looked over at the Slytherin table and I saw that Narcissa and Bellatrix were hiding their faces, Andromeda was giving me thumbs up, and Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa's Boyfriend was giving me the evil eye. I had succeeded and I was free.

That night, I met the other boy in out dorms, Peter Pettigrew. He really was a short chubby kid with no interests. I then decided to ask the biggest question that I needed the answer to. "Who likes pranks?"

"Hell, yeah!" was James reaction.

"So fun to plot…" Remus had a dreamy eyed look on his face.

"I like to watch them, but I don't do them." Peter said.

"You can't live without pranks." I heard and turned around. Mahira Prewett was standing there looking at us casually. "I take it you guys are fellow Marauders?" she asked.

"Marauders?" questioned James.

"Pransters." Mahira defined.

"I guess we are" I said, grinning.*

I was so lost in memory that I forgot to countinue. "Okay, well after a while we learned that Remus was a werewolf. Soon after that, we found out that Mahira is a seer. She knew that we would become animagi and knowing that we would succeed made us work harder in a way." I smiled at Ira. "In the end we succeeded in fifth year. James was a stag, I was a handsom black Labrador" Mahira snorted. " and Mahira was a cardinal. We decided to call her Chirp. Sometimes Chip for short because she once had an obsession with Doritos." I looked at Mahira to tell next.

"After we graduated, Prongs and Lily married and Sirius and I started dating." Izzy's face fell. "When Lily was pregnant, I got into a trance. I don't really remember what was going on then, but I made a prophecy about-"

Molly cut her off. "Mahira Leanne Prewett! These children are far too young to be corrupted by your Prophecies!"

"About Voldemort. I'm not allowed to say the contents because Dumbledore forbid me to say. I had to go into hiding. The only people who knew that I was hiding were James, Lily, Dumbledore, Sirius, Remus, Molly, Arthur, and Peter. The rest of the Order thought I was on a mission. I only came out once, to see Harry after he was born. Then I left and returned the next time for James and Lily's funeral. It was nice to know that Prongs Jr was safe. I then spent the last few years tracking Voldemort in Albania."

Mahira finished and I gave her a kiss on the cheek, she grinned and I heard a chair screech, a door slam and footsteps on the creeky stairs. When I looked up, the only one missing was Izzy.
