A/N; I know I should have added more to the end of this chapter, but since I'm still working on the conclusion to what happen on the train, I couldn't think of anything to add.
As for Snuffles I know I been neglecting her, but I will have more of her in future chapters.
Also I don't own Harry Potter and please review.
Potter Manor
The morning of the train ride to Hogwarts, two teens sat in the large living room, were amusedly watching their Guardians rush about a maze of trunks that they would take with them to Hogwarts. "Padfoot have you seen my Defense books!" Remus hurriedly asked as they double-check numerous trunks that they had place on the floor.
"Moony I thought you already pack them, but have you seen my year's supply of Zonko's products?" Sirius wondered his body bent over an almost bottomless trunk.
"Sirius Black, you are not going to prank the school like we use too, we have the next Generation Marauders to do that for us!" Remus firmly reminded his friend.
"But still there is so much we can teach the children, we need make sure Harry, Ginny and Lillian keep up the Marauder's reputation." Sirius whined as two teens rolled their eyes.
"Padfoot, Moony are you done yet, since we got less then ten minutes to get to the train station!" Harry impatiently reminded his Guardians.
"Oh darn I didn't know we were taking that long, hurry Padfoot lets shrunk the trunks we can finish this at Hogwarts." Remus quickly suggested as they quickly shrunk all their trunks and pocketed them.
Platform 9 ¾
After a quick Teleportation, the small family had only minutes to say their farewells to their other family members before getting onto the train, just seconds before it started the long journey to Hogwarts.
Hogwart's Express
Sometime later in a compartment at the far end of the train, two older wizards were telling two teens of their Hogwarts years, when the doors to the compartment open for two red hair students. "Oh there you are we almost thought we miss you somehow?" Ron breathlessly informed the occupants.
"Yeah sure Ron, like we can miss two adults sitting with two students!" Ginny grumbled as she pushed her way pass her brother to sit beside her secret husband.
"Alright already Ginny I know that is hard to miss, but what's with you always wanting to sit with Harry, you been doing that all summer since we returned from Egypt?" Ron wondered as he sat across from the couple.
"No reason Ron Weasley, we are just good friends that's all!" Ginny assured her unconvinced brother.
"Ok forget that for now, Harry have you heard Peter Pettigrew escape from Azkaban?" Ron wondered as the Hunter looked to him.
"WHAT, but how I thought Azkaban Prison was inescapable, how did that rat escape?" Harry almost shouted, as his friend looked worried.
"From what was in the prophet a they forgot that Pettigrew was an Animagus, and place him in a normal cell, and probably only now he realize he still could transform into his rat form, and use it to sneak pass the Dementors." Ron informed the not so happy group.
"Only Wormtail would take this long to realize he had a chance to escape." Sirius grumbled as he made mental plans to get back at the traitor.
"Padfoot you better not try to avenge my parents, I don't want to lose you again!" Harry warned as his godfather sighed.
"Don't worry Harry, I won't be looking for that Traitor, but if Pettigrew does show himself, I will make sure there is something left of him for the Aurors to send back to Azkaban!" Sirius angrily hissed at the thought of his ex-friend being free.
"Come on guys let's forget that rat for now, and lets see if us students can beat the adults in a game of Exploding Snap." Ron quickly asked to change the subject and the others quickly agreed.
A little while later a brown hair witch entered the compartment, and soon they split up into two groups, one continue playing Wizard's games, while the other discus books and the upcoming school year.
Hours before reaching the train station, the train came to a sudden halt throwing the occupants to the side in pain. "Ouch, what just happen?" Ginny grumbled as she untangled herself from her friends.
"I don't know Ginny, but we shouldn't anywhere near Hogsmeade, we still got several hours to go." Hermione worriedly informed her friend as they separated from each other.
"I will check this out guys you should stay here, and Sirius I'm counting on you to keep the students safe." Remus warned as he quickly left the compartment.
"What does Moony think I will leave you guys when there is danger about?" Sirius grumbled as he pulled out his wand, to stand guard at the entrance to the compartment.
A few minutes later, a dirty blond hair boy stumbled into the friend's compartment. "Hey guys any idea what is going on?" Neville wondered as his friends helped him into the compartment.
"Don't worries Professor Lupin is on it you should just stay here for now." Sirius suggested as he wondered what was taking his friend so long.
"Um who are you, and who is Professor Lupin?" Neville nervously asked.
"Don't worry Neville you didn't forget him, since he is one of two new professors for DADA." Harry assured his forgetful friend, as the missing professor nervously entered the compartment.
"We got trouble Dementors will be boarding the train to search for Pettigrew!" Remus quickly warned as the lights went out and soon became freezing cold.
"Great why did it have to be Dementors?" Harry grumbled as he waved his wand and a ball of light appeared and floated high in the now lighted compartment, startling one friend.
"That don't look like a Lumos spell?" Hermione wondered as she studied the ball of light.
"It because that is not a Lumos spell, it a special ward to dispel Dementors." Ginny answered since she was glad their Spirit Weapons could harm the fowl creatures.
"Wow where did you learn that, since I thought the only defense for Dementors was the Patronus spell?" Hermione wondered as the outside became dark as night.
"This isn't the time for learning Hermione all we need to know right now that we are safe." Remus firmly informed his student as he looked to the door.
"Remus what is the Ministry thinking sending Dementors onto the train?" Harry quickly asked as his guardian shrugged.
"This could be the Dementors doing I don't think the Ministry would have any say to where they check for escapees." Remus could only say as the doors opened for a dark cloak figure he quickly stepped before the fowl creature. "Pettigrew isn't in this compartment or on this train, so please leave!" Remus shouted as his wand was ready for spell, but the Dementor quickly pushed to the side, as it slowly entered the lighted compartment.
"Great Ginny the power of the Spirit Bomb isn't powerful enough to keep the Dementor at bay." Harry worriedly warned as his wife took hold of the glowing sphere within seconds it glowed brighter.
"DEMENTOR leave us now!" Ginny shouted as she held the sphere toward the Dementor whom continued entering the compartment.
"Ginny…" Harry yelled as his wife threw down the sphere it exploded in a blinding light, bathing the entire train in a bright light, causing all the Dementors to scream in pain as they flew away from the light.
With the fowl creatures gone, the two Hunters fell to the floor both were trembling badly. "Harry, Ginny, professor Lupin what is wrong with them!" Hermione quickly asked as the older Wizard bent down to check the teens over.
"Could be the effects from the spell they just used Hermione." Remus suggested as he magically scanned the teens." They should be fine in a few minutes, so for now lets place them on the chair for now." Remus suggested as he and his best friend levitated the trembling teens to the chair.
Five minutes later, the teens had stopped trembling, but had not awoken up and this worried the professors. "Sirius you go ahead and use our emergency Portkey to Portkey the teens to the Hospital Wing, I will stay here and make sure nothing else happens to disrupt the train ride." Remus worriedly suggested and with a nod from his friend, he took each of the unconscious teen's hand and whispered a password, soon he and the teens were gone.
Hogwarts/Hospital Wing
Some time later as the Healer work on the unconscious teens, an elderly Wizard stepped into the room looking worn. "Sirius we might have a problem." Dumbledore gravely informed his newest professor.
"What is it Headmaster, what else could go wrong?" Sirius worriedly asked as the Headmaster sighed as he sat down near the teens.
"After the teens drove off the Dementors, twenty was uncounted for, and well over fifty others is badly burnt, which is unheard of since nothing should've harmed those creatures." Dumbledore informed a wide-eye professor.
"Are you going to need help finding those missing Dementors?" Sirius wondered since he thought that was the reason his Headmaster was here.
"Actually Sirius we think we found the uncounted Dementors, or what was left of them when the students left the train." Dumbledore sighed as he looked to the teens. "Sirius I need to know what the teens did to drove off the Dementors, since Minister Fudge is furious at losing twenty Dementors, and finding a way to help the other, which at the moment we have no clue of how to heal them." Dumbledore warned as his former student glared.
"I don't know why anyone should care about those creatures Headmaster, we should happy that we finally gotten rid of at least some of them!" Sirius snapped at the Headmaster.
"I know Sirius, and I would agree with you." Dumbledore assure his professor. "But Minister Fudge thinks the Dementors are a valued asset for Azkaban Prison, so at this moment he is furious that someone has found a way to hurt the Dementors, and he wants them to pay." Dumbledore warned as the Healer stopped what she was doing to walked over to the professors.
"Both children are fine, I didn't find anything wrongs them, but I think they should stay for the night for a full recovery." Pomfrey suggested as the professors agreed.
"Thank you Madam Pomfrey, but I should warn you now that we are expecting some trouble with the Minister, with what happen on the train, so please immediately call me if anyone tries to take the children away." Dumbledore warned as he turned to his professor.
"Sirius you can be excuse for welcoming feast to look after your Godson, so please makes sure they don't leave the Hospital Wing until the situation with Fudge is over." Dumbledore warned as his professor nodded.
"I will make sure Harry and Ginny doesn't leave this room Headmaster!" Sirius assured his Headmaster as he saluted to him.
"I will be counting on you Sirius." Dumbledore smiled as he left the room, while the younger wizard turned into a black dog, and lay before the teen's beds.
Great Hall
A little over fifteen minutes after all the students sat down and now is wondering why they had not started the Welcoming Feast, the Headmaster walked into the room to stand before the Houses. "I'm sorry I had to delay the Feast, but now that I'm here Professor McGonagal please proceed in Sorting the First Years." Dumbledore kindly suggested as his Deputy-Headmistress nodded before walking into the side room, where the First Years were waiting.
The sorting of the First Years went quickly until a name was called startling several professors. "Lillian Evans!" McGonagal almost stuttered out, as she remembered a similar name being read, and again was almost shocked as a too familiar face headed towards her to sit on the stool and place the sorting hat on, she quickly shook herself to keep her features as stern as she can.
As the room went dark for the young Witch, a voice sounded in her mind. "Hello Lillian Evans or should I be calling you Lillian Weasley Potter, am I right?" The Hat firmly asked causing the child to cringe.
"Please don't tell anyone, I don't want my father or mother to get into trouble." Lillian quickly begged as the hat chuckled.
"Don't worry little one I won't, since I somehow know it was your parents that removed the curse on the Headmaster position." The Hat assured the calming child. "Now that is over, let see what House fits you." The Hat stops talking for a few seconds before listing the child potentials. "Hmm you have a strong desire to learn, which is perfect for Ravenclaw, but you also have the courage of your parents which is perfect for Gryffindor so the question is which one." The Hat wondered.
"Any house will be alright, but please not in Slytherin or Grandpa Godric will disinherit me." Lillian quickly begged as the Hat chuckled.
"Well if Godric Gryffindor doesn't want you into Slytherin, I better not disappoint him." The Hat chuckled before shouting a house name. "GRYFFINDOR!" The Hat called out, and the happy Witch took him off and rushed over to a set of twins, and sat between them.
A few minutes after the sorting and the food appeared a stern professor looked to the age Headmaster. "Albus do you know anything about Ms. Evans?" McGonagall wondered as she watches the interactions between a young witch and a set of twins.
"To tell you the truth Minerva, I don't know much about Ms. Evans, but I do know she is an American orphan that is somehow distantly related to Mr. Potter." Dumbledore informed his Deputy-Headmistress.
"Yes Ms. Evans does seem to have some family resemblance to Harry's Mother, but if I'm not mistaking I do see some Weasley and Potter in her." McGonagall guess as the Headmaster chuckled.
"Yes I too notice those resemblances to those families, and if I didn't know any better I would think she is an offspring of Harry and Ginny." Dumbledore joked as his Deputy-Headmistress smiled.
"Which is very unlikely considering the two teen's age?" McGonagall smiled as she continued eating.
As the Welcoming Feast ended, the Headmaster stood up. "Now that you all are fed and watered, I got some announcements…" Dumbledore started but a bright shooting star shot spin across the enchanted ceiling getting everyone's attention.
"Albus what is going on, I don't remember the ceiling doing that?" McGonagall worriedly informed her Headmaster, just as the shooting star landed in the middle of the Great Hall and exploded in a flash of white dust.
As the white dust cleared up, to reveal a young female cartoon ghost, whom smiled as she floated before the Head Table. "Hello I'm Stardust, one of the three Spirits of the Marauders." Stardust smiled as a few professors eye widen.
"Care to tell who is the other two Spirits are?" Dumbledore smiled as his eyes twinkled.
"Yes they are Flames and Night Wing, whom at the moment can't be here." Stardust smiled innocently. "Hopefully they will make an appearance tomorrow, and then we can start our pranks." Stardust giggled at the thought, while a not so happy professor spoke up.
"I demand you tell us your real names!" Snape yelled as he stood up looking very frightening.
"Sorry Professor Snape, but that is something we Marauders must never tell, and please don't get mad at me or I will make you my first vic…I mean I will do my first prank on you." Stardust smiled as she floated to the center of the room. "That is all I got to say, so good-bye and beware of the Spirit of the Marauders." Stardust smiled as she turned into a bright orb of light and shot up into the ceiling creating a message.
Professors and Students of Hogwarts
You just were prank by Stardust!
The second everyone read the note, instantly all the inhabitants was in embarrassing children pajama's, and moment later an embarrass Headmaster in pink pajamas stood up. "Since we seem to be ready for bed, I better finish the announcements!" Dumbledore happily suggested beginning his usual yearly speech.
