A/N: Helllloooo, my lovelies! Thanks so much for all the reviews, favorites, and follows! MWAH! SO, here's your chapter, dedicated to the DaughterofTheHuntress, who gave me THREE reviews last time! Thanks so much. Son of Neptune is so boring. I'm at the really boring part. I'm bored. Never mind, I just finished it, and I'm LOVING the Mark of Athena! And by the way, you know how I said last chappie that it was Nov 10? Forget that. We're doing a bit of time travel here, it is November 26th, Thanksgiving is in two days. For them. I want Christmas to be during the ACTUAL Winter break. So yeah. Here you go. Enjoy, and review! And I know that Fabian and Gideon have the same last name as Alice, so let's just say they're distant cousins. Just finished House of Hades, can't wait for Blood of Olympus!
ANY ONE else watch One Tree Hill?

All righty, I shall now let you read.
"Candy! Totally awesome, yummy!" yelled Sirius, stuffing sweets into his mouth from random crates on the floor.
"Sirius Black!" yelled Lily. "Stealing is completely unacceptable!" Sirius rolled his eyes at her. Who cared, anyway?
"He's not going to listen to you," said Remus. Lily ignored him. For once.
"Whatever, Evans, stop being such a prissy girl." Lily opened her mouth to reply, but surprisingly, Alice cut her off.
"Leave it." Lily began to protest.
"But he-"
"Leave it," repeated Alice, more forcefully this time.
"Fine," Lily muttered in defeat. Alice nodded and winked at her, making her smile. Gideon glanced at Sirius, who was still happily munching on the candy. James had now joined him in his feast.
"Guys, eat all you want on the way back, but we should probably get going now," said Gideon. They both nodded, and stood up.
"Should we hand out the brooms now?" said Sirius. Remus nodded.
"For once I actually agree with you."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means you're crazy."
"Hey!"
"You are, though."
"Good point, Remus."
"It is what I do.
"Make good points?"
"Pretty much."
"Okay," interrupted James. "Lily with Gideon, Alice with Fabian, and Peter with Sirius. Remus and I ride alone. Sounds good?" Everyone in the room either nodded, or mumbled 'yeses.' James handed school brooms to those who could fly, and gave the bag to Alice, who took it willingly. Gideon motioned for everyone to follow him, but James cut him off.
"Wait!" he yelled. Lily rolled her eyes.
"What now, Potter?"
"Total deja-vu," whispered Remus to Sirius. James pulled out the silver, liquid-like Cloak. Fabian's eyes widened. Gideon gasped. Lily and Alice shared a look. James didn't know that the girls already knew about the Cloak, courtesy of Jazz.
"AN INVISIBILITY CLOAK?"
"MERLINS BAGGY ABERCROMBIE JEANS!"
"Whoa, is that an invisibility cloak?"
"Impressive, Potter." Lily and Alice feigned surprise. It had obviously worked, as James puffed out his chest with pride.
"It's a family heirloom, been with the Potter's for generations," he boasted. Lily and Alice giggled at his pompous manner. The redheaded twins still looked shocked.
"Well, that will definitely help with this!"
"Heck yeah!" James grinned. "I'll keep it with me for now, and then we can use it during the mission thing."
"Mission thing?" Everyone ignored Peter. The others nodded at James's slightly vague plan.
"Ready?" said Fabian. No reply came from the kids, except Gideon, who nodded. Sirius groaned loudly. James looked at him.
"What?" Sirius pointed.
"More stairs."
After about fifteen more minutes of complaining, courtesy to James and Sirius, they reached Honeydukes. The sight that met their eyes pulled their jaws to the floor. The sweet shop was filled with cheerful people, devouring sweets merrily. Gideon slapped his hand to his head.
"Man, I can't believe I forgot! It's a Hogsmeade weekend today!" Fabian sighed.
"James, Sirius, and Remus can pass as third-years. Peter, Alice, and Lily- get under the Cloak." Peter frowned.
"I'm not a girl," he complained.
"No, but you're short." Peter shrugged at the remark.
"Where are we going?" questioned Remus, lowering his voice.
"Shrieking Shack," replied Fabian, not noticing Remus shudder.
"Why there? Can't we go somewhere else?" asked Remus, trying to keep the pleading out of his voice. Fabian smiled at him.
"Because no one goes up there. Don't worry, it's not actually haunted. Gideon and I've been up there plenty of times, and there's not a trace of ghosts," he said. Remus gulped. Fabian frowned.
"Where's Gideon?" James looked around, and caught a flash of red hair headed towards the door. James pointed to the exit.
"That way." The odd group walked to the door, and Remus peered outside.
"Psst, guys!" Sirius whipped around to see a grinning Gideon Prewett.
"You bloody scared us! Why's you run off?" whispered Fabian furiously. Gideon waved him off.
"I got some stuff that might help us against those idiots."
"Such as?"
"Acid Pops, Licorice Ropes, Fizzing Whizbees-"
"Wait a second," said Lily. "Fizzing Whizbees are like the muggle candy, Pop Rocks. How are those supposed to help us?" Gideon grinned at her.
"Ah Lily, haven't you ever tried throwing them at someone? Wait, don't answer that," he said, as Lily opened her mouth to speak. "If you throw enough, they can taser a person, and that will give you enough time to get out of there."
"The ropes," Fabian continued, "are strong, so they can hold up people. Did you get enough, Gideon?" He nodded.
"I shrank them for now, so they won't take up too much space in the bag."
"Good thinking."
"Thanks." Gideon grabbed the magical candies, and shoved them in Alice's bag.
"That's nice," she grumbled. He winked at her, and she ignored him.
"Alright, troops, let's go!" ordered Sirius. Lily and Alice were suddenly overcome with giggles.
"What?"
"It's a muggle thing," explained Alice. Sirius frowned.
"I thought you were a pure-blood, Alice."
"I am, but that doesn't mean I'm clueless."
"Are you implying that I am?"
"If the shoe fits?"
"Now what does that mean?"
"Another smart muggle thing."
"Hey! I'm very smart, for your information!"
"Whatever you say."
"Good! Because that's what I say! I'm brainy!" James and Remus muffled their laughter.
"Sirius, brainy?" whispered James. "As if!" Sirius howled with mock misery, and dropped to his knees.
"Get up!" said Fabian. "You're drawing attention to us!" Sirius pouted.
"But my best friends don't think I AM BRAINY!"
"That's because you're not."
"Mean people," he muttered. Everyone ignored him.
"Are we ready?" said Gideon. Nods. "Let us proceed!" Lily rolled her eyes. As they neared the rusty shack, a scream pierced the air. The eight exchanged glances.
"Help!"
"Help me!"
"NO!" James shook his head grimly.
"There's no time. We've got to leave now." Flashes of spells could be seen from the hill that they stood on. Remus grasped his broom nervously.
"Mount your brooms," said Gideon as he hopped on his broom, motioning for Lily to join him. She blushed as she climbed on with him. When everyone was seated on their brooms, James gave them all a wide grin.
"Ready to kick some butt, and save some lives?"
"Ready!" shouted the twins, and the Marauders. Lily and Alice laughed. James pushed off the ground, and hovered a few feet in the air. Fabian, Gideon, and Sirius copied him. Remus stayed on the ground, lingering and stalling. His friends looked at him.
"Coming, Remus mate?" Remus swallowed, and lifted his broom. Pushing off, he joined his friends above the ground. James circled higher and higher, until only the bottom of his shoes were visible. He looked down at the children below. The shrieks were growing louder and more frantic.
"Well? What in the name of Marlin are you waiting for?"
"Just a question. How long have we been up here?" questioned Lily. She hated flying, and it was making her feel uncomfortable.
"About half an hour, at least," said Gideon, without looking at her.
"Ugh," said Lily. "How much longer?"
"About half an hour. Lily, I would have thought you to be more patient." Lily glared at him.
"Well, I'm dangling from the sky-"
"You're not dangling, you are on a broom!"
"And I feel like I'm going to puke!"
"Please do."
"On you?"
"No way! Try James."
"Hey!"
"Sorry mate." Lily sighed.
"How long-"
"Still half an hour, Evans"
"Damn."
"Never thought I'd see Lily Evans swear! It must be a miracle!"
"Sod off, Black."
"In your dreams."
"You know it."
"Of course." Lily sighed again.
"How long-"
"Half an hour," they chorused together.
"Heads up, guys. We should be landing in a few minutes." Lily giggled. Fabian looked at her.
"What?"
"You sound like a flight attendant," she said. He frowned.
"Where would you need a 'flight attendant'?" Lily stared at him.
"Duh. On an airplane." Fabian, Gideon, James, and Sirius stared at her.
"Um...a what now?" said Sirius. Lily sighed.
"I'm thinking it should be compulsory for all pure-bloods to take Muggle Studies in our third year electives," she said.
"You know, Evans, i might just take your suggestion," said Sirius thoughtfully.
"Why?" asked Lily.
"Mate, taking an extra class willingly?" said James, flabbergasted. Sirius shrugged.
"Just to annoy my dimwits of parents, I suppose." James looked at him sympathetically.
"Alright, ready to land?" said Gideon. The group looked at each other in silent agreement. Now, there was no backing out.
