The quartet meet Lily and the Marauders

The Quartet Meet Lily And The Marauder's
Chapter Fourteen: Confession Time Part Seven


They noticed they were in Hogwarts near Hagrid's cabin. They expected to find Hagrid, but instead found a grinning Sirius dressed in dark blue robes that were worn in the spring time. He looked even more handsome then they had ever seen him look before not even as a teen.

His hair had been tied back into a pony tail. He looked healthier then they'd seen him so far. They noticed he was surrounded by Gryffindor and Slytherin students. They watched as the students streaked a baby and adult unicorn.

They were shocked when it finally clicked and they realised what was going on. Sirius had been made the care of magical creature’s professor. The younger Sirius was stunned he was a Hogwarts professor.

They noticed Harry was wearing the promise ring he currently wore back in their time. Sirius was surprised Ron had been right he was wearing a promise ring on his left index finger identical to the one Ron was wearing, and they were willing to bet Remus by now also wore the twin promise ring to Harry's own ring.

The memory melted away and they found themselves by the lake only it was night time. They noticed only Harry and Remus were in this memory. They Were sitting near the lake Remus was sitting and Harry was sat between his legs. Remus had his arms wrapped around Harry from behind, his hands were resting on Harry's stomach while Harry's hands rested on top of Remus's. Remus was resting the side of his head lightly on top of Harry's.

They noticed neither Harry nor Remus was wearing rings. They listened as Remus whispered in Harry's ear "Will you marry me?" They all gasped as soon as those words had left the older Remus's mouth, they knew what they were witnessing.

They waited with baited breath for Harry to come out of his shocked stupor. They sighed in relieve and grinned widely when Harry beamed at Remus and whispered "Yes of course I will marry you, I couldn't think of anything else I would rather do" Harry replied. They watched as Remus smiled lovingly at Harry and leaned in a kissed him gently and lovingly.

Remus asked Harry "Harry do you know how a witch or a wizard gets engaged in the wizarding world, especially if they are two men or two women?" Harry shook his head "No all I know is that the couple has to use their magic" Harry replied.

Remus nodded "Correct Harry the couple use their magic to create each others promise ring then on their wedding day they perform a different spell to create their wedding rings, which are then placed on top of the promise rings and are blessed" Remus said.

Harry asked "So what do I have to do then?" Remus told Harry what he needed to say. Harry memorised what he needed to say to create Remus's promise ring. Remus warned him "If the two people love each other enough then the rings will be identical. It has been own that some couples perform this spell and their rings are nothing alike. It's those marriages that do not last."

Harry and Remus took out their wands and began to chant the spell at the same time. The younger Remus and the others watched hardly believing what they were being allowed to witness. They watched in awe as two white lights started to swirls round and entwine with each other.

After a few minutes the light became almost blinding. It was known that the brighter the light was the stronger the bond and love between the couple would be, and the light Harry and Remus was creating was quite literately blinding it was so bright and pure white.

They all gasped including both Harry and the older Remus, as two beautiful identical platinum bands appear, each band had a small heart shaped stone that looked like it was mixture of both a ruby and a sapphire. The light disappeared and the rings floated in mid air for a few moments before one of each of the rings floated over to Harry and Remus.

Harry examined the ring and smiled when he noticed there was an inscription wrote inside in gold it said ‘TO MY BELOVED ALWAYS AND FOREVER HJP’ Remus looked at the ring he had just created for Harry. He smiled when he noticed that there was also an inscription engraved in gold inside of the ring. It said the exact same thing as the one Harry had created for him only it had his initials inside instead of Harry's. ‘TO MY BELOVED ALWAYS AND FOREVER RJL’

Harry leaned towards Remus and gently picked up his left hand. He then took the ring and placed it on Remus's ring finger. Remus did the same with Harry and gently slipped the newly created ring on Harry's left hand onto his ring finger. The memory melted away just has Harry and Remus shared a kiss.

They next found themselves in a memory still set in Hogwarts but only Ron and Sirius were in this memory. They instantly blushed all excepted Sirius when they saw the scene before them. Sirius and Ron were in bed together, they were exposed to their waist. Sirius was lying against the pillows and had his arms around Ron's waist, while Ron rested his head on Sirius chest and had his arm draped over Sirius's stomach.

Sirius whispered to Ron "Would you do me an extremely large favour?" Ron sighed content and replied "Of course, I would do anything for you, I proved that to you when I stunned that prick and handed him over to the aurors."

Sirius grinned and placed a gentle kiss on top of Ron's head of fiery red locks. "Anything" he asked. Ron looked up at him and smiled "Naturally as long as it isn't deeply humiliating for me" Ron had said jokingly.

Sirius sniggered "Ah you wound me you really think I would ask something of you that would humiliate you?" Sirius asked as he mock pouted.

The others observed the scene before them and were amazed at how unbelievably comfortable and at ease they were with each other. They realised now the reason why Ron and the teen Sirius had clicked as soon as they had met. The exact same thing had happened with Harry and the teen Remus.

They had all laughed when Ron had unblinkingly told Sirius "Sirius you’re the legendary Padfoot one fourth of the original Marauder's. You are a class A prankster, trust me when I say I believe you would do something I would most likely finding humiliating. It doesn't matter how much you love me it is still in your nature to strike with another prank no matter what."

Sirius had let out a bark of laughter at that and kissed Ron gently on the mouth. Sirius pulled away from the kiss with a flicker of his tongue against Ron's bottom lip. He said "I promise this favour will not be of the humiliating Varity."

Ron nuzzled the side of Sirius necked and place a kissed on the side of his jaw. "What do you have in mind?" Ron asked. Sirius decided to just come out and say it. "Will you marry me?" Sirius asked him.

Ron froze and asked "Are you serious Sirius." Ron paused when he realised how that had sound and he saw the grin on Sirius's face. Sirius replied "Yes that's my name."

Ron snorted and smacked him playfully on the stomach causing Sirius to laughter harder. Ron smacked him again and whined "Come on honestly did you really mean it when you asked me to marry you?" Ron asked. Sirius stopped laughing and smiled "Yes Ron I did mean it, will you marry me?" Sirius asked again.

Ron was dumbfound but already knew the answer without having to think about it. Of course he wanted to marry Sirius. Ron smiled brightly and replied "Of course I will marry you. Only we have a slight problem I'm only sixteen still in school and to top that off you are one of my professors."

Sirius grinned and playfully pulled Ron's nose and told him "Yes I had thought of that, that's why I was thinking of having the actual ceremony when you graduate in two years. So naturally I will no longer be your professor and you won't be my student. And of course you will be eighteen."

So Lily and the Marauder's watched as Ron and Sirius performed the same spell Harry and Remus had in the previous memory. They grinned when they saw the light that was surrounding them was just as bright and blinding as it had been for Harry and Remus.

They watched as the two rings like the one they were used to seeing on Ron's finger, appeared and floated in mid air before floating into Ron's and Sirius's out stretched hands. The rings were pure platinum and had a small heart shaped stone in the middle that was a mixture of a ruby and a diamond.

Sirius grinned when he read the inscription inside engraved in scarlet. ‘I LOVE YOU AND ONLY YOU SCB’ Sirius gently picked up Ron's left hand and slid the ring on to his ring finger and gently caressed his thumb over one of Ron's knuckles.

Ron had smiled brightly when he had read the scarlet engraved script inside the ring he had created for Sirius it read the same as the ring Sirius had created for him. ‘I LOVE YOU AND ONLY YOU RJW’

Ron picked up Sirius's left hand and placed the ring on Sirius ring finger, and gently kissed the palm of his hand. They all smiled when the memory melted away and looked forward to what they would see next.

They were right to feel the need to be excited about seeing this next memory. They were inside the dungeons in what to appeared to be the middle of a lesson. They noticed Harry had his hand up and was trying to get Snape's attention and much to their disgust he was ignoring Harry. They could see Harry was close to losing his patients, he was very much like James when it came especially to dealing with Snape.

Harry cleared his throat loudly but still the greasy bastard ignored him, even some of the students in the class were starting to turn and look at Harry. They could see Harry's knuckles were turning white, he was clenching them so tightly. He was clearly pissed off, he was fuming. They saw the concerned looks the other quartet members along with his class mates were giving him.

Harry raised his voice slightly and called out "Professor Snape." Still Snape ignored him and helped one of the Slytherin's. Harry snapped and bellowed "PROFESSOR SNAPE." That did it Snape swiftly turned on his heel to face Harry is black robes bellowing out behind him. He said coldly and through clenched teeth "What do you want Potter you infuriating little brat." James and even Lily looked ready to kill Snape at that moment.

Harry was red in the face he was furious and sick and tiered of Snape's bull shit treatment. He replied his voice shaking with barely suppressed rage and disgust "I would like to know where you get off ignoring me and four other students in this class who just happen to be all Gryffindor's. You ignored every single last Gryffindor student who held up their hand asking for you help for the last twenty minutes. I professor was one of those people. You have ignored us like the plague and seen to your bloody precious Slytherin's.”

He added growing even more pissed by the second as he continued to speak “I can deal with the fact of you ignoring me when ever I ask for help that is nothing new at all, trust me on that. But I won't tolerate you ignoring other students just because of the house they come from. None of these students have done anything what so ever to you but still you stay up on your high horse like some old mighty god, trust me your far from as am I."

He took and breather giving Snape a chance to speak or more like insult. "Just because you are the bloody boy who lived you think you can get away treating others like you see fit. Well word of advice your nothing you hear me, you are absolutely nothing just like your blast good for nothing piece a shit of a father." Everyone gasped at that, making Snape realise he'd forgotten where he was and just shot off all of that in front of his students.

Harry sneered "What's the matter professor are you suddenly remembering where you are? And that you've just earned me a class full of Gryffindor's who I bet would be willing to stand up and tell Dumbledore and this school board that you just shot your mouth off at me. I suspect they will finally listen when I tell them you are out to get me because of my parentage, because I looked like the boy who made your school years a living hell."

He continued "Yes I look very much like my father I can't deny that or change that either. I am not my father however much I look like him. I was not the one who did all those things to you I wasn't even bloody born, and wouldn't have been for another three years at least. I want this to stop or I will report you. Not as the boy who lived, but as Harry James Potter, a normal sixteen year old boy who asked for your help and was denied it because of who I am and what I represent to you every time you look at me. All I want to do is learn and pass this class, is that really asking a lot Professor?"

Snape was red with embarrassment and said "Mr. Potter as much as this pains me to admit you are right you are indeed entitled as much as the next student to learn and pass this course. So in the interests of passing this course I highly suggest you get out of my class room until next week, hopefully I will be able to teach you without wanting to use one of the unforgiveable’s, on you."

Harry mumbled something under his breath that only the quartet heard, they stifled their laughter they knew Snape had gone too far this time and was going to get more then a little hot under the colour. James and the others were only the others who heard him mumble something as well.

Snape added cruelly just as Harry reached the door with his bag over his shoulder. "And I will be taking fifty points from Gryffindor for bad mouthing a professor. And Mr. Potter I wouldn't get my hopes up of ever graduating because considering your pig headedness and the kind of life you live, you won't survive an attack from he who must not be named. You will more then likely perish like your good for nothing waste of space of a father did."

Suddenly Snape let out a large fart and was instantly set on fire from behind. Harry with his back still turned replied over Snape's screams "Well at least I won't die a greasy bastard."

The whole class including the Slytherin's were howling with laughter some even fell off their chairs they were laughing so hard. James and Sirius had to hold each up as they were laughing so hard. Remus, Lily and Peter had tears of mirth streaming down their faces as they choked with laughter. The memory melted away and straight into another.

This memory was one of Ron's. They watched as Ron was walking down the deserted Transfiguration corridor in his Animagus form. They soon spotted Professor McGonagall and professor sprout with a red faced Malfoy walking between them. As soon as both professors spotted the large panther they let out startled screams. Malfoy quickly took out his wand and pointed it at the panther.

Ron weather he was in human or animal form sure as hell wasn't going to just stand there and do jack shit when some one had the end of their wand pointed at him, regardless of the fact two professors were currently present.

Ron let out a warning and menacing growl as if to say ‘get your fucking wand out of my face Malfoy’ Sirius and the others suddenly realised whose memory this was and what they were witnessing. It was another to have them giggling hysterically.

Ron swore he could suddenly smell urine. He looked down towards Malfoy and suddenly crouched down on the floor and started to shake with silent laughter. Malfoy had quite literally pissed his pants in fright, and was stood in a pool of his own piss around his feet. Both professor wonder why the panther was shaking violently. Then the panther lifted a paw and pointed to below Malfoy’s feet.

Both professors looked down and realised Malfoy had lost control of his bodily functions in terror. And that the violently shaking panther was in fact not a real panther it was actually an Animagus, considering real panthers didn't shake with obvious laughter.

And Minerva knew that that Animagus in particular was none other then Ron Weasley, who would have gave anything to get back at Malfoy and now he had. She had to hide her smile at the absurdity of the whole situation.

She knew why Ron had growled as well, naturally she would have hissed and clawed at someone who had the end of their wand turned on her if she had been in her cat form. It was a defensive reflex that every witch or wizard had, she could not blame Ron in the least for reacting that way, she would have only done the same herself.

She exchanged looks of disgust and amusement with professor Sprout. She turned to Malfoy and said, "Mr. Malfoy I will be taking thirty points from Slytherin and you will sit detention with me tomorrow night after dinner. Now run along Mr. Malfoy and clean yourself up."

She and everyone turned when the panther made a choking noise. Ron swore McGonagall had discreetly winked at him. Malfoy was red in the face when he looked at the panther sitting on the floor with contempt. The panther let out a low growl in return its bright blue eyes flaring slightly.

Malfoy let out another yelp and tried to rush away but his pissed soaked shoes skidded on the polished floors until he was out of sight. Ron had shifted on to his back and started to shake even more then ever.

Ron and the other were shocked when both professors started to giggle uncontrollably. With a wave of her wand Minerva cleared up the mess Malfoy had left behind and said "Mr. Weasley will you please reveal yourself?"

The panther got up of the floor and transformed as he did. Ron stood up straight and faced both professors, he was dressed in his pyjamas, dressing gown and slippers. He looked awfully pale. That was probably what made the Minerva go easy on him.

"Mr Weasley what are you doing out of bed at this time of night and in your Animagi form as well?" Minerva asked. Ron replied "I was on the way to the hospital wing professor. I've been feeling seriously ill over the last three weeks, and it got worse to day. I couldn't sleep for the sickness so I decided to head up to the hospital for a potion to settle my stomach. And as for the reason I'm in my Animagi form, well it's quicker and more comfortable whilst I'm feeling like this."

Minerva nodded and said "Very well Mr. Weasley I shall escort you there myself. I can take this from here Flora." The other professor nodded and walked on a head.

Lily turned to the others and gave Sirius a knowing looked "How much do you want to bet Ron is currently suffering from the early stages of pregnancy? He did say he got pregnant when he was sixteen, and this seems like around about the right time" Lily said.

The others grinned and nodded in agreement, while Sirius had a slightly worried and nervous look on his face. The memory started to melt away and straight into yet another.
