				A certain brown haired boy with round glasses and a lightning shaped scar ran through the halls, down the stairs - tripping over the vanishing stair in his haste - and then proceeded into the depths of the dungeons of Hogwarts. He was late for a very important date. Or so you could say. <br><br>The boy was, in fact, late for Potions class, and everyone knew that if you were, Snape was much like the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland - off with his head! Harry Potter didn't fancy the idea of losing his head - or any more points for Gryffindor. A detention with Snape was never fun either. <br><br>So, he hurried.<br><br>But he was already late so really he was hurrying to keep himself from becoming even more late. Then again - Harry paused - if he simply didn't attend class at all, he could weasel out of detention and losing point. All he would really have to do was lay down in the infirmary for awhile. And after all of his running, he was hot and sweaty. Madam Pomfrey would instantly send him to bed, no problem. <br><br>But what would Hermione say?<br><br>Harry groaned as he thought of the nagging she might have for him. Of course she meant well though, so he couldn't blame her. Even he knew it would be wrong to skip. <br><br>With that in mind, Harry continued toward the Potions classroom, albeit at a bit slower page; he was not looking forward to his punishment. <br><br>Upon arriving at the wooden door that led to his doom, Harry pushed it open and disappeared through it. Like a silent shadow, he appeared at Ron and Hermione's side, hoping no one had noticed his late entrance. The wooden door was creaky, but he'd only pushed it open wide enough to magician himself though, so perhaps... But Snape never overlooked a late student (unless he was from Slytherin) did he?

				Class was already underway and the students had broken up into pairs in order to do the assignment Snape had ordered them all to participate in. He walked around the room, taking note of each and every cauldron to make sure no one was going too far off course and his careful and sharp eyes missed nothing. Only one student was not present in Potions. A certain boy with short dark hair, round glasses and a lightning shaped scar on his forehead that connected him to the most evil dark lord of all time.<br><br>Once more their <em>celebrity</em> was missing from his class. It seemed Potter always had a tendency to be late and Snape loved to take points from his House and talk down to him when he did manage to arrive. In fact it was one of the highlights of his day. He would have given the boy detention immediately but that would come later if Potter dared talk back to him, since the detention would then be justified. Being late was grounds for the deduction of House points but not detention.<br><br>Talking back to a teacher and questioning his words on the other hand <em>did</em> allow for the teacher in question to give the student detention. Sometimes he lost his temper though when it came to Potter and decided to give him detention regardless of whether he deserved it or not. But occasionally the other teachers and the Headmaster interfered and nulled his decisions. This tended to annoy him but he had to put up with it for he did not make the rules at the school, only in his classroom.<br><br>Snape's lips curled with satisfaction when Potter slunk into the room, hoping to avoid detection and he raised a hand to call attention to the late arrival. "How <em>good</em> of you to grace us with your presence, Potter. Did you think that just because you are our new celebrity that you could magically appear as though you were never late? That perhaps I would overlook your tardiness?" Snape inquired in that monotone voice of his as he watched Potter like a hawk did a mouse.<br><br>It was obvious that he wished for the young wizard to respond to him. The only question was how would Harry Potter respond to the words Professor Snape had said?

				The fifth-year Harry Potter had, for the slightest of moments, thought that he'd gotten away with arriving late. However his jubilation didn't last long for the next second, Professor Snape was raising his hand, walking over, speaking down to him. Harry's first instinct was to sink low in his chair, vanish into the floor, and never be seen again, however his Gryffindor pride would never allow such a thing and instead he sat up straighter and puffed out his chest, staring the Potions Master in the eye. <br><br>"Well, seeing as it's a miracle you can see anything past that big nose of yours, yes, I did." Harry replied, voice laced with attitude and sarcasm. Hermione stared in shock, but Ron, Seamus, and Dean all broke into fits of silent giggles. In his corner, Malfoy looked extremely smug - he knew Potter'd be getting some serious detention for this one. <br><br>But Harry didn't particularly care. The year had just started, but he was already sick of Snape's constant attitude. The professor found reasons to criticize him every class and Harry was sick of it. For once, he decided that he'd stand up for himself. And even if he got a week's worth of detentions, it was worth it for any outraged look Snape might have.

				When Potter sat up straighter and puffed out his chest, staring him in the eye Snape was reminded once more of how alike Harry and his father were and how much he hated and despised both of them. Although James Potter was much worse than his son could ever be, not to mention the fact that in the present Snape was the one who had the power over Potter and not the other way around. Such a thing was highly amusing and quite satisfying in Snape's opinion. It was almost like payback for the pain and suffering the elder Potter had inflicted upon him and that was no small thing at all. He couldn't wait to see what Harry would do that he could punish him for.<br><br>And Potter would certainly do things for it was almost as though he couldn't help it. Much like his father. His lips curled into a slight smirk as he gazed down at the younger Potter, eyes narrowing when the whelp dared talk back to him. Yes he hated when the boy did so but he also relished it for he knew he could punish him as well. "Detention, Potter. For a full month. 10 points taken from Gryffindor. You will see me after class." Snape said with a wicked smile as though he were pleased that the younger male had spoken against him since he could now punish the git for what he had done. His dark eyes flickered over to Hermione, Ron, Seamus, Dean and Malfoy.<br><br>And then back to the front of the room as he made his way back there. "You will all attempt to make the Polyjuice Potion. I know some of you may have already done this successfully..." Snape paused in his speech as his eyes flickered around the room, making direct eye contact with Hermione, Ron and Harry for a split second before they continued to wander over the other students. "...but for those of you who haven't now is a good time to start. You don't want to be left behind after all and this potion is particularly useful in a variety of situations." He concluded and then gestured for them to begin their work as he walked over to the desk in the room.<br><br>Sitting down behind it he watched his students to see what they would do. Would Potter dare try and provoke him further? Or would he just accept what his mouth had gotten him for now? It would be interesting to see what would happen next and he wondered who would manage to get the Polyjuice Potion done first of all. Obviously he wished for them to partner in pairs and try and use their partner as their subject. But they were not supposed to drink the potion yet, only tell him when they were done making the supposed potion. How else could he grade them if he didn't know which person was who? He was also interested in knowing how the Golden Trio would react.

				Upon hearing the verdict of Harry's punishment, Ron looked absolutely purple in the fact but Hermione looked a bit happier. When the redhead noticed her expression, he shot her a questioning look and she shrugged and waited until Snape turned away to respond. <br><br>"In all honesty, Harry deserves his detentions. I'm just delighted that we only lost ten points." Hermione explained, much to Harry and Ron's shock. <br><br>"A month's worth of detentions?!" Ron hissed.<br><br>Even Harry thought the slimy Potions teacher was taking things a bit too far this time. The problem was further exacerbated as Snape announced that they'd be making Polyjuice potions. "Yeah, useful in a variety of situations for slimy gits like you." He muttered under his breath so only his two friends could hear.<br><br>Hermione merely rolled her eyes, unwilling to point out that they themselves had used polyjuice potion in their second year. However, she did raise her hand. "According to <span class="bbc_u">Advanced Potions and Their Uses</span>, Polyjuice Potion takes about a month to create properly. Are we going to be working on this single potion non-stop for a month?" She questioned. Because while they could do other potions during that time, all of their cauldrons would be quite preoccupied. <br><br>Meanwhile, Harry was absentmindedly stewing in anger. Yes, what he'd said had been rather uncalled for, but still. An entire month? That was a little overboard. Besides, why would Snape want to spend an entire month with him? Instead, he should just pack all the worst tasks he had into a week and then be done with it. Harry didn't mind pickling frogs if it was only for a few hours, but for a month? Hopefully Snape would be a bit more creative than that at least.

				Snape was not at all surprised when Hermione raised her hand and spoke of the time it took to make the Polyjuice Potion and his lip curled with satisfaction. She was fairly good for a mudblood but he wouldn't praise her about it. Praise had never been Snape's forte so to speak, he hadn't said much regarding Draco Malfoy so why would it be any different with Hermione? Although Snape had turned away from the class he still had the hearing of a hawk.<br><br>His eyes flickered back at the trio as they narrowed at Harry and then Hermione with a lingering glance of contempt for Ron. "Granger. Weasley. Do I have to separate you in order for you to quiet down? We're trying to hold a class here and if you don't think you can handle it I suggest you leave." Snape said and narrowed his eyes at the Boy Who Lived when Harry muttered something under his breath. "Did you say something, Potter?"<br><br>By the tone of his voice it was clear to everyone but Potter perhaps, that if Harry said anything else that was intended to provoke Snape, he would be in quite a lot of trouble. Yet Snape was just dying to have Potter do something more. That way he could make him suffer and that was very satisfying for Snape. Snape turned his attention to Hermione when the girl spoke about the Polyjuice Potion.<br><br>"It is as Miss Granger says. The Polyjuice Potion takes a month to create properly. Now why did none of the rest of you step up and express your concern? Learn from Miss Granger and if something doesn't seem right to you, ask about it. It is the only way you will ever make those tiny brains of yours better." Snape said dispassionately and then turned back to his desk. Once he'd reached it he looked back at the students that awaited his words.<br><br>"What we are actually going to learn today is how to make a Blood-Replenishing Potion. Open your books to page 124. You'll see it listed there. Get to work. I'll come by and check up on your progress." He told them and then waved a hand as he made his way over to his desk to flip through the pages of the book lying there.

				When Snape ask if he had said anything, Harry's green eyes flicked to his face. Under the table, Ron and Hermione both elbows him warningly and his eyes fell back to the floor. "Nothing, professor." He said, voice thick with shame that he was curbing his words to avoid more trouble. However, even he knew that it wasn't the best move to stir up a lot of trouble with Snape. <br><br>Afterwards, Snape turned to the rest of the class to reprimand them for not catching Snape's trick as Hermione had. "Is it just me or is he praising you?" Harry muttered, sinking lower in his chair.<br><br>"Probably loves anyone who is good at potions, even if he'll never admit it." Ron muttered, ears slightly pink as he looked at Hermione. "Besides, she deserves it."<br><br>The bushy haired girl beamed over at him and he smiled back. Harry caught them staring around him at each other and he sighed to himself. It wasn't that he felt lonely... but it was obvious that Ron and Hermione liked each other and the more serious they got the more of a third-wheel he would become. And even though he'd liked Cho for awhile, ever since Cedric's death she hadn't been the same. Crying every time she saw him....<br><br>There was no way that would work out. <br><br>Harry's eyes glanced back at Snape when the teacher told them all that they'd make blood-replenishing potion instead. That was hardly any better - while they could finish it in a couple of days, it was still incredibly difficult. <br><br>The fifth-year boy flipped open his book to the right page at stared at it with despair. Potions had never been his strong suit and it was showing even more now that they were getting to more complex potions. Even Hermione had been having troubles lately, and that was rare. <br><br>It also didn't help that Snape criticized him at every possible opportunity. <br><br>As Harry began to cut up his ginger root and lizard tails, he imagined Snape yelling at him for not cutting evenly enough.

				What a shame. Potter had not taken the bait and Snape's lips twitched as he turned away from the boy, hoping that Potter might take this opportunity to mutter something in his direction. But he didn't. Pity. He went on to enlighten the class of the potion they were actually making which was difficult but not impossible and only took two days to make. They could handle it. If they couldn't they had no business being in Potions class. Snape did not take foolishness in Potions.<br><br>He was known for being strict. Students were there to learn and the subjects became more difficult every day, if they couldn't handle it they would probably die within a year. Some of the potions brewed were poisonous and were ingested by breathing, so it was extremely important that they realize how to make such a thing. Not to poison themselves or others but to know what the ingredients were, what it looked like and how deadly it could become in the wrong hands.<br><br>But that would come at a later date. Right now he was simply seeing if they could concoct difficult potions before trying their hand at something more deadly. Right as Harry was imagining Snape's voice yelling at him for not cutting evenly enough he would hear that same voice saying those same words. But not to him. To Neville Longbottom. Who was cutting his ginger root at the wrong angle and his lizard tails down the middle instead of in slices. Which was totally wrong.<br><br>And now he had Snape yelling at him. Or rather speaking in a condescending tone to him which was probably much worse for Snape never yelled. Draco Malfoy was also present in the class along with his two goons, Crabbe and Goyle. Malfoy was smirking at Longbottom and casting dark looks in Harry's direction. "Bottom's never going to get it, Professor. Why don't you just kick him out of the class? Or better yet make him into one of your potions?" Malfoy said with a laugh.<br><br>Crabbe and Goyle looked over at Hermione, Ron and Harry and then back over at Neville again and laughed. It was hard to say what they were laughing at though since they had almost no brains put together between them. Only Malfoy kept them together. It made people wonder what Crabbe and Goyle would do if Malfoy left them.

				((I think I'll have Neville's potion be the one to send Harry back. Is that okay?))<br><br>Even though he had reigned in his temper, Harry was still angry with Snape and that wasn't helped at the teacher began to ridicule Neville. So he wasn't that great at potions? Who cared? He was good at other things and potions were stupid and worthless anyway. How many times had Harry actually seen an adult witch or wizard use potions? <br><br>Admittedly, he hadn't grown up in a wizarding family, but the answer was still never. He doubted the Weasleys even owned a cauldron aside from the ones they got their kids for school. Maybe Snape just didn't want to admit it, but the only potions that were ever used anymore were love potions, which the teacher probably wouldn't even view as a respectable potion. <br><br>Wanting to point out something to that effect, Harry opened his mouth, but Malfoy spoke first, again teasing Neville.<br><br>"You're just jealous because he actually has friends." Harry snapped at the Slytherin. "Besides, if people should be kicked out for being worthless, then you are at the top of the list, Malfoy. The only reason you've made it this far is because Snape seems to have some secret crush on you." He said, however, at Hermione's incredulous expression, he realized he'd gone too far yet again.<br><br>Why did he have such a self-control problem when it came to this class? All of the other teachers liked him well enough, but that wasn't because he was 'the chosen one', but because he was actually a good student for them. <br><br>It was probably the combination of being around Slytherins and being around Snape, both of which he hated with a passion and seemed to hate him back. <br><br>Meanwhile, Neville was worriedly trying to fix his potion by throwing in a bunch of different ingredients that the recipe didn't even call for. It had turned a smoking, dangerous green color.

				True, it didn't seem as though witches and wizards used potions everyday but the truth of the matter was that they used them more than most thought. It was just that they never saw the need to speak about it, almost as though the potions they made were taken for granted and it was only if no one made any that the wizarding world would realize how much they depended upon them. Potions were important to everyone who lived.<br><br>Severus Snape knew this and that was why he had taken the job when Defense Against the Dark Arts had been taken. Potions was the only one he would agree to take as a substitute until he could obtain the desired position and so far things had worked out fairly well. It wasn't his intention to be cruel to Neville just for the fun of it all which was something Draco Malfoy did and other sort of bullies like him.<br><br>No, Snape's intention was to make his students know when they were doing something wrong. He didn't like to correct them, he liked it when they figured out what to do in order to make it right. If he had to tell them they lost points in his book. So when he saw Longbottom doing everything wrong, he believed it was his right to 'ridicule' him. But he thought of it more as 'correcting' rather than 'ridiculing'.<br><br>Snape did not hear everything that Harry said but he had heard Potter open his mouth once more and that was not good because it meant the male was acting up again. That meant he could further punish the boy and his eyes gleamed at the thought. Malfoy narrowed his eyes at Harry when the other said that he was jealous because Neville actually had friends and that he was worthless. Oh he understood those barbs and insults!<br><br>"Don't delude yourself, Potter. I have friends as well, only they are much better than any Longbottom could have, especially since he has you. A boy whose parents are dead who became a celebrity overnight? You didn't do anything to deserve such a thing. You're a spoiled selfish little brat. In fact-" Malfoy began to say but Snape interfered by clearing his throat which happened to be very loud since it was coming directly behind the boy and the blonde haired male looked over his shoulder.<br><br>Then he made a face at the professor and stalked back to his cauldron where he continued to try and make the potion they were supposed to be devoting their time and energy to. "You have something to say to me, Potter? I think we should step aside and discuss this in private, since you are determined to talk back and usurp my authority. Not a good example to the other students you know." Snape said rather dispassionately.

				At Malfoy's retort, Harry was forced to roll his eyes. "Oh yes, <em>much</em> better. Why can't I see the appeal of having friends who are so stupid they can barely walk and grunt at the same time?" Ron couldn't help his snort of laughter, which only spurred Harry on. "And who, exactly, was the one asking me to be friends on the first night we got here? Oh, yeah, it was you. Neville didn't have to beg to be my friend." This time he felt like he was making a good argument without being ridiculous. <br><br>However, Snape didn't seem to think so and instead of punishing Malfoy for provoking him and (yet again) bringing up the painful subject of his dead parents, the professor rounded on Harry. A private chat with Snape? That sounded more fun than a barrel of monkeys. ... <br><br>"Sir, do you mean detention or do you really want to talk to me right now at this moment?" Harry asked, standing up a bit unsurely. As he did, he glanced at Neville again. Snape had barely turned away for a moment and the boy's potion had turned acidic green once again and was filling half the dungeon with smoke. Hermione stopped shooting Harry disapproving looks to go and help him fix it. <br><br>Well, Harry couldn't deny that Neville was awful at potions. But he didn't think Snape helped it by criticizing Neville, who only did worse under pressure. Anyway, Harry waited to leave the room, which he would do if Snape told him he had to.

				One of these days Potter would find out what Malfoy was capable of and then he would reconsider his choice of enemies but by then it would be too late. It might not seem like it right now but Malfoy had quite a bit of potential and wasn't a wizard someone should underestimate, after all Lucius Malfoy was his father and he was a force to be reckoned with. Why couldn't Draco Malfoy be the same? It wasn't as though Lucius was the only one to be feared, Draco could be the same.<br><br>At least he had the potential to be the same if he only managed to get there. Harry's words made Malfoy's temper rise even more. "You little wanker! I'm not talking about <em>them</em>, they aren't my friends. They're my <em>followers</em>. You're dumber than you look." He exclaimed, narrowing his eyes at the boy with the lightning shaped scar on his forehead and chose to ignore Potter's remark about who asked who to be their friend since it wasn't really important.<br><br>Snape narrowed his eyes at the boy he was dealing with and gestured with his head to a side of the room that was closest to Neville since the professor wanted to keep a close eye on that particular wizard in training. He always managed to do something wrong and Snape wanted to make sure he caught him before he ended up blowing them all to another country or worse. Yes, the dungeon was filling with green smoke and so Snape snapped his fingers in front of Neville's face.<br><br>When that didn't work, he quickly threw some herbs into the cauldron, causing the potion to simmer and bubble and then subside. It should work temporarily until Longbottom was able to put in the right ingredients. But if he didn't, the potion would return to its smokyness once more. Snape really should stick with Neville and make sure he didn't mess up but his talk with Potter could not be put off. It seemed as though today the boy was being decidedly difficult.<br><br>Potter had never gone this far with him before in a classroom setting. It was almost as though he'd had a bad day and didn't care who he frustrated and that was perfect for Snape since he could take away Gryffindor points quite quickly. He would even enjoy it. That little gesture of his head should have told Harry that Snape wanted to talk to him now. If he wasn't smart enough to figure that out, Snape would demand Potter leave his class and not come back until he was ready to learn from him.<br><br>Because after all, even Neville would understand such things. "Tell me, Potter. Do you enjoy being dumb? Because that is the way you will stay if you continue with this behavior. Will you obey me in this class from now on or do I have to kick you out?" Snape asked as he waited for an answer to come from Harry.

				((There... uh... tried to make it sound interesting. x3 Hope it worked. *hugs* I know this rp could be great, but I am worried about keeping you interested. I know you need to cut down on rps lately, but I hope you don't choose to cut this one. &lt;3 ))<br><br>At Malfoy's insult, Harry rolled his eyes and was about to make a comeback when Hermione jabbed him painfully in the side with her elbow. "Harry, in case you forgot, you're making a scene in <em>Snape's </em>class." She warned him, glancing over her shoulder at the slowly approaching potions teacher. <br><br>"..." Harry knew she was right. His green eyes traveled to the back of the class room to view Snape. The teacher had motioned, with a flick of his head, for him to go over toward the side of the room, near the store cupboard. Sighing, the Boy who Lived got out of his seat and walked over to where the professor stood waiting for him.<br><br>Immediately, Snape started in on his stupidity. Harry didn't appreciate it, but at least Snape wasn't insulting his father again. Ridiculing the dead did not sit well with Harry, especially if it was his dad Snape was complaining about. Harry loved his father, no matter what he'd done to stupid Snape, who'd probably deserved it anyway.<br><br>Not wanting to answer, Harry knew he had to. "Sir... I'm not going to obey your every whim, but I will follow the rules of the class and the instructions for the potions." Harry said, green eyes moving away from the man standing in front of him to a row of jars on the opposite side of the room. This was as close to an apology as Snape was going to get. Especially since Harry knew if he said he'd do everything Snape ordered, the man would probably make him skin lizards all hour or something. But saying he'd try and follow the rules should be enough. <br><br>It was at that moment that Neville, whose potion had begun to froth and smoke again and had now turned a peculiar rainbow color, darted back. His cauldron was just beginning to melt until the strain of whatever he had managed to concoct and he was backing away fearfully, as was the rest of the class. Harry, however, found the sight rather interesting and while he did not move forward to investigate, neither did he back away. <br><br>That was when the cauldron blew up. Most of the class was protected by a last minute <em>protego</em> on Hermione's part, but Harry, who had moved in front of Snape was splattered head-to-toe by the mysterious concoction. He cried out, startled, as his skin began to burn. Then there was a flash of light and he was gone.

				((No I am keeping both of ours xD they are too good to let go of plus they are of the m/m kind so I have tons of muse for them :p))<br><br>It wasn't that Severus Snape hated Harry Potter. No, he hated what the boy might become. If Potter ended growing up to become James Potter, Snape would do all he could to make the youngster's life miserable. In his mind he was merely returning the favor since Harry's father had done the same to him when he had attended Hogwarts and it was only fair that Snape be able to do it to his son. The professor regarded Harry as the boy spoke and then inclined his head curtly since that was acceptable, it wasn't as though he expected Potter to treat him like a god. But Snape did enjoy pressing his buttons and finding out what would annoy him the most.<br><br>It was what James had done and what he wished to do to his son. Snape's attention returned to Neville whose potion was once more overreacting and the professor gave the boy a dark glare as he strode over to where the cauldron was bubbling and boiling. However, this time he was a bit too late as whatever was in the cauldron suddenly blew up, sending the mixture up into the air and Snape immediately cast a spell to create a shield to protect the rest of the class. There was no knowing what sort of potion Neville had accidentally created and it had the potential to be dangerous but of course the boy who lived thought he needed no protection.<br><br>He actually took a slight step out of the circle of protection. "Potter! Get back in the circle. Don't make me come get you!" Snape exclaimed but before he or any of the rest of the class could do anything the potion had splattered upon Harry and then a moment later he was gone in a flash of light. Things returned to normal but there was no Harry Potter. Snape looked around once, twice and then strode over to Longbottom who cowered away from the dark greasy haired teacher as the older man looked into the cauldron. What remained of the mixture was only a few drops here and there in the cauldron and on the floor and Snape scowled.<br><br>Looking around at the frightened students and the concerned looks of Hermione and Ron, Snape took control of the situation as a teacher was expected to do. "Continue preparing your ingredients but do <em>not</em> put anything into your cauldrons. Miss Granger and Mr Malfoy are in charge until I return." Snape strode over to Neville's cauldron and plucked some of the mixture into a sample tube, then turned to where Neville was standing, picked him up by his shirt collar and dragged him out the door, after telling the boy he would be coming with him. It might have been rather surprising to hear Snape put Hermione in charge of anything.<br><br>Since he'd never shown such interest in the girl before. But he knew that if he wanted nothing to go wrong in the class he would need to put someone in charge that knew what they were doing and would look out for mistakes to happen. Malfoy was not that person and Hermione was. But he couldn't just put her in charge because it would seem as though he were favoring her and that was the last thing he wanted since he thought Malfoy had potential if he only worked at it. That was his reasoning behind putting both of them in charge. All that remained now was to find out where Neville's potion had sent Harry Potter...<br><br><em>Back in time</em><br><br>Class ended and the students began to file out. Will stood as well and headed for the door but was stopped by three students who happened to be in his way and he looked up to see James Potter, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew. He wondered if he were going to get picked up for Potter's gang was famous for it and itched to draw his wand out and cast a little hex of his own on the three who stood there but that would just cause trouble and there were too many others around. What if the hex went wild and struck someone he didn't want it to? Unlike the Marauders, Will didn't want to hurt any innocent people in the crossfire.<br><br>And if the Marauders had any brains they should have taken that into consideration too. But it was obvious that they weren't going to let him pass easily. So he heaved a sigh and asked the inevitable question. "What do you want?" Will asked waiting to see what they would say, expecting either James or Sirius to respond since Pettigrew usually just stood by, watched and gave snide comments, the rat made him sick for he was like a little pet. Lupin on the other hand was dreamy and he couldn't help but fall for that adorable face and there he went again, gods it was like he was addicted to him which was so not good, Slytherin students did not like Gryffindor students.<br><br>It was against the rules. James raised a brow when Will Avery was so bold as to ask what they wanted and he smirked, looking over at Sirius, his partner in crime. "What makes you think we want anything? We could have just stopped you to say hello, don't always assume we're troublemakers!" He said with a wag of his finger and shared a laugh with Sirius who stepped forward to run a finger down Will's nose to the bottom of his lip before he tilted his head to the side. Sirius slung an arm around Will's neck and shoulders almost as though he considered them friends. Oh it was such fun to play around! He loved to play around with other students.<br><br>Most of those they picked on never fought back and those that did well it was usually three or four against one and they always managed to come out on top. "Although for a pretty boy like you perhaps we should reconsider! I'm sure you're different from us, you probably like men, don't you? We can help you with that, maybe set you up with someone...let's see who would make a good girlfriend for you?" Sirius said, putting on a fake serious thinking face as he looked over at James for some help with this. James simply laughed for Sirius was a riot. However, he did try to think up a good 'girlfriend' for this Slytherin student for Slytherins were the best to pick on.<br><br>It was a known fact. Severus Snape was waiting for Will right outside the door since he'd had class a few doors down and usually hung around nearby so he could walk with his friend to lunch. He didn't see Will at first so he opened the door and looked in, to see James, Sirius and Peter crowding around Will and Severus's eyes narrowed into slits. The young wizard growled out a spell at the leader of the Marauders and hoped it would hit because if it did James Potter would turn into a yellow canary and go cheeping around for an hour unless it got dispelled. But Sev wouldn't stop there, no he would turn the others into canaries too.<br><br>And then use another spell to round them up into a net. Then he'd lock them into a cage and hide it somewhere. That was the plan anyway, for some reason all his plans always ended up failing...but there was always hope. "Leave him alone!" He ground out as his eyes flashed with rage, why couldn't Potter and his friends leave him and Lily alone? It seemed as though he got his kicks from trying to humiliate and bully him and the rest of his friends in Slytherin, simply because they were in that particular house. What was wrong with Slytherin?! Remus Lupin was not with the rest of his friends at the moment. He was currently talking to a few students from Ravenclaw.<br><br>So he was not able to witness what was going on with his troublemaking friends. Plus he was a bit absent-minded and distracted since the full moon would be upon them in a few short days and no one knew his secret yet. He hadn't been able to convince himself to trust anyone not to freak out and tell the entire school. "What was that?" He asked and the student had to explain his problem again to the young male.

				((Which of these characters would you like to control? I'll do either Sirius or James and then I can do Remus if you like, so you don't have too many characters. I'll probably also play Lily. Let me know what you want to do. &lt;3 btw, good to know. Im glad you aren't giving up on me. x3))<br><br>Groaning, Harry became aware that he was lying on something very hard and very cold. It smelled somewhat musty, like the dungeons. That was when he remember where he'd been and the exploding potion - sitting up with a gasp of surprise, Harry glanced about himself. <br><br>...<br><br>There was nothing and no one. It was a deserted room in the dungeon that looked like it hadn't been used for years. The place smelled mustier than usual and all of the jars of things adorning the shelves were dusty and unused looking. <br><br>What room was this?<br><br>Harry supposed Neville's potion had somehow caused him to teleport to a different location in the school. Perhaps he was one room over or something. Running out of the room and into the hall, Harry paused a moment. Alright, students were exiting from a class just next to the room he'd stepped out of. He had to go find Professor Snape and tell him what happened... as much as he didn't want to.<br><br>As Harry walked toward the potions classroom, his mind was on other things and he failed to realize that he didn't know a single person filing out of the room. Well, of course some would be familiar to him, like Narcissa Black, but his eyes merely passed over her as he pushed into the classroom.<br><br>Suddenly, the boy stopped short. There, standing not five feet from him, was a boy who could have easily been his long lost twin brother. Their hair stuck up in exactly the same way, brown and messy. Their glasses were almost the same too. The primary difference was their eyes - James had brown, but Harry had his mother's sparkling green ones. <br><br>This was when Harry began to think that something might be wrong. <br><br>The boys in the classroom had stopped speaking when Harry had entered and now they all stared at each other, Harry's eyes roving over the boys in the room. Where was he? When was he? This could be the future. That messy haired boy could be his own. But then he caught sight of a dashingly handsome Sirius. And and... a sallow skinned, greasy haired boy. <br><br>"Erm... what are your names?" Harry asked awkwardly, trying to break the tension as well as figure out if what he thought was happening was really happening. "I'm uh..." He wasn't sure if he should give his real name, "Harry... " He'd give them that, but to name himself a Potter... well, people really would think he and this other boy were cousins or brothers or something odd like that.

				The arrival of Harry had made everyone look over at him since students were filing out of the classroom, not coming in, so obviously either Harry was looking for a fight, or he'd just stepped into the wrong place at the wrong time. Or there was a slight chance that he might be looking for some amusement, like James, Sirius and Peter were. Will and Sev didn't count since they were the ones that were being picked on. The former more than the latter since Severus hadn't even been in the classroom originally. James's eyes roamed over Harry for a brief moment, taking note of the red and gold colors of Gryffindor House instantly and a smirk came to his lips.<br><br>He didn't seem to remember Harry and James paid attention to those in his house. Now if Harry had been in another house James might not have known him since why associate with wizards from rivaling houses? The only reason why he might possibly know some would be if he either had interest in them or they had enough power to be considered a threat to him. "Hey, don't remember seeing you around before. But that's okay, you're from Gryffindor and that's all that matters to me! Want to join in on the fun?" He said with a grin and tossed his head, running a hand through his wavy hair as James was renowned to do. All his fans knew this.<br><br>Even first years. Will narrowed his eyes at James and then looked over at Harry, trying to judge whether Harry would be the type to side with Potter or not. He didn't recognize him either and that could be a good thing, since if he didn't recognize him perhaps Harry tried not to bully others or else he'd have heard of him before. Then again, Harry was from Gryffindor and Will was from Slytherin. Will slipped towards him while everyone's attention was on Harry and laid a hand on Severus's shoulder, he could tell that his friend was tense and just waiting to let loose. "Sev. Don't do it. You know how James is always pushing your buttons. Walk away with me." <br><br>Will tried to persuade the greasy-skinned young man and attempted to steer him out the door, giving one last glance over at Harry, his lips twitching into a slight smile. He couldn't afford to thank him or even say anything without making Potter and his gang erupt. At least the group hadn't said or done anything yet. And he didn't think they'd pick on Harry since the boy was from their own House. Maybe he'd see him again. Severus was watching from afar and narrowed his eyes at James, Sirius and Peter as they lingered, spoke and toyed as his hands clenched into fists. He longed to whip out his wand but to do so was to invite the others to retaliate.<br><br>But that did not sit well with him. Sev did not want to be the one who started things. Lily would not approve. Yet who was this Harry? He kept his dark eyes upon the three as he curled his fingers around his wand but allowed Will to steer him out the door, waiting for Potter or one of his 'friends' to do something that would let him attack to defend himself. Part of him was half hoping that James, Sirius or Peter or all three would do something. So he could have an excuse to hex them.

				When James spoke, Harry barely heard a word he said. Was this really his dad? Were these really the marauders...? He could barely believe it and he didn't know if he should feel elated or appalled at what he'd caught them doing. Bullying. <br><br>Then again, could he blame them?<br><br>It was just... wait, who was that? Was that Avery? Damn Death Eater. And Snape... Harry didn't like him, but he knew this wasn't the same person. Not quite yet. <br><br>But Harry still wasn't sure how he should act. Should he even talk to them? Was he changing the course of history by just standing there? He needed to find Dumbledore. Just as he was thinking about this, Avery and Snape walked past him, shuffling out of the room before anything happened. How unlike a Slytherin to avoid conflict. <br><br>Green eyes traveled back to the marauders and he stared at them a moment before turning on his heel and also leaving. Before he made a hole in the time-space continuum, he needed to talk to Dumbledore and see what he thought about the decision.<br><br>After The-Boy-Who-Lived exited the dungeons, Sirius blinked as though snapping out of a daze. "Hey, James, you know that Harry kid really looked a lot like you." He remarked, although all of them had probably already realized this. They could have been brothers, except Sirius knew neither of James' parents had green eyes. <br><br>Once out of the dungeons, Harry went to find the gargoyle statue guarding the headmaster's office and he began to try the random names of candies. Licorice Snaps did it and the statue jumped aside to let him onto the rotating staircase.<br><br>Upon arriving, Harry knocked and was told to 'come in'. Albus was a bit surprised to see a student had found his office and knew the password. "How can I help you?" He asked, looking Harry over. He didn't believe he'd seen this boy before, but perhaps that was just a sign that he was getting older, more forgetful. <br><br>After spending awhile explaining his situation to Dumbledore (who did in fact, reassure him that it was the year 1975), Harry waited for the other's opinion on the matter. Dumbledore explained that time-travel was very difficult to do successfully, especially into the future - time-turners, the one sure-fire way of time travel could only take you into the past - and he knew of no way to send Harry back to the future. <br><br>In the meantime, he suggested, it was best to stage him in the Gryffindor dormitories and he could attend class like a regular student. He would be in fifth-year, the year he'd been in the present, so he shouldn't be too lost as to what was going on in the classes. <br><br>Harry would rather just go back to his own time, but he couldn't deny that the opportunity to see and speak with his parents was intriguing, so he agreed. There wasn't much either of them could do about it for now anyway. <br><br>And so Dumbledore got a house-elf up to put another bed in the fifth-year dormitory and told Harry the password to Gryffindor tower. That being that, Harry left the office and went, somewhat dejectedly, to his new home. Even though the idea of seeing Sirius, and James, and Lily, and everyone was exciting, he was going to miss Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and everyone else from his own time.

				It wasn't that Will didn't want to fight the Marauders, he just wasn't inclined to fight them on their own ground when they were well prepared for a retaliation. That was what Sev didn't seem to get, when they provoked him it meant they wanted him to fight back and had something planned for when he did. Severus always gave in to their taunts and got himself in trouble with them and that only served to make him even more frustrated at them.<br><br>Will on the other hand was quite intelligent even if he didn't look it. Everyone he went out of his way to make miserable ended up that way and always when they least expected it, sometimes he made it personal and other times anonymously. That was how he worked and it was quite effective. James tossed his head, running his fingers through his hair as he gazed after the retreating Slytherin and rolled his eyes, disappointed that he hadn't managed to drag Sniv into a fight.<br><br>When he caught him alone with Sirius, Peter and Lupin he was always able to take him out but when Avery was present, that little bugger was too smart for his own good. One of these days he'd have to go to some means to eliminate him. One less Slytherin was always good for the world, right? <strong>"Forget about him, we'll catch up later when he's alone. When Avery's not around he'll be ripe for the picking!"</strong><br><br>James said with a chuckle and watched as Harry disappeared as well, obviously he had somewhere else to go but he didn't care, it was time to go grab a bite to eat. Almost lunchtime. Perhaps he'd run into Sniv again...this time without his 'friend'. James looked back at Sirius when the other spoke. <strong>"Yeah, maybe he's my evil twin!"</strong> James said with a smirk and headed off to the cafeteria, hoping to see either Lily or Sniv there so he could hit on the former or hex the latter.<br><br>Lupin was not feeling very well but that was understandable since the full moon was only two days away and there was nothing he could really do about it except lock himself up. He wasn't looking where he was going and ended up running into someone and he blinked, trying to focus and discovered that he was looking at Gryffindor robes. <strong>"Excuse me. I wasn't looking where I was going. My apologies."</strong> Lupin murmured as he brushed past <em>Harry Potter</em>...

				Watching Snape and Avery leave, Sirius shrugged and turned away, back toward James. He was thoroughly bored now. They might as well go off to lunch, there was nothing else to do. "Yeah, we'll find him later. It's not like he always has that slimy Avery with him and then he'll be ours." Nodding, Sirius began to walk toward the door with James and the others.<br><br>When James mentioned his evil twin, Sirius couldn't help laughing. "Are you sure you aren't the evil one?" He teased. "Maybe he's come from the future to kill you and take over your life, pretending to be you while not actually being you." Sirius said, his logic quite astounding since it was coming from him. There was only one flaw - Harry's eyes were completely unlike his father's and the lightening shaped scar kind of set him apart from James. <br><br>Laughing, Sirius locked his arm around James' and began to saunter down the hall with him toward the great hall, leaving Peter and Remus in his wake. Just as always, those two had to hurry after if they wanted to catch up to the pair. <br><br>On the way, Harry was sneaking past, on his way to the Griffindor common room. When Lupin bumped into him, he glanced up, surprised. "Ah... Professor - I mean, Lupin..." Harry mumbled, flushing slightly as he ran a hand through his hair. Lupin looked completely different in this time, not so run down and haggard, but it would still be hard to get over calling him 'Professor'. "I er.. thought you were a professor. Sorry." He mumbled, trying to save himself. <br><br>From where he stood, Harry glanced over at James and Sirius. He wanted to badly to spend time with them... they were his father and Godfather, but... was he changing the course of history by doing so..? Biting his lip, Harry glanced back at Lupin. "What's up?" He asked, kind of wanting to join them in whatever they were doing.

				James laughed when Sirius asked if he were sure <em>he</em> wasn't the evil one and put on a rather innocent face. <strong>"Me? Evil? Of course not, Padfoot, whatever are you talking about? I'm as pure as the snow!"</strong> He grinned and thought about Sirius's logic for a moment as though he were considering it and then came right back with a quick and snappy comeback. <strong>"I don't think he's me from the future since my eyes were never green. But what about a son? If what you say is true and he's from the future he could be my son come to reconnect with his father from the past!"</strong> James said, hitting so close to the truth that it was almost scary. This impression was spoiled a bit though when he doubled over laughing at his scenario, James Potter a father? Yeah right. Like he would ever settle down with any one girl in particular. All the girls that wanted him were sluts anyway, why settle for one when he could have them all? Tying himself down to one female was unthinkable!<br><br>He and Sirius sauntered down the hall, arms locked together as though they were a couple. But everyone knew such a thing was untrue, all they had to do was ask around about James Potter to find out that he was Hogwarts most popular playboy and bully and definitely <em>not</em> gay, not in the least. Peter scurried after James and Sirius as he always did, wanting to be near them at all times while Lupin dragged behind, not wanting to be associated with the boys during their vanity moments. It was because of this that he managed to run into Harry or Harry managed to run into him. Lupin glanced over at Harry when the other spoke but he was a bit distracted due to the coming of the full moon so he didn't pay as much attention to Harry as he probably should have. As it was he missed the fact that Harry called him 'professor' but he caught the fact that the boy knew his name. When Lupin did not know his. <strong>"I'm sorry, do I know you?"</strong> He asked, finally focusing on Harry.<br><br>The young man's words about thinking he was a professor made Lupin's lips twitch slightly. <strong>"I have made that mistake a few times myself, don't worry about it. This place has so many twists and turns to it with things changing all the time it's a wonder students can find their way through it at all."</strong> He remarked, looking up and down the area they were currently in before holding out his hand to Harry. <strong>"Remus Lupin. And you are?"</strong> Lupin inquired, waiting for Harry to introduce himself with his full name as well which was the normal reaction. Not too far away a scuffle could be heard but Lupin paid it no mind since those sort of things were normal around Potter and the rest of the Marauders. He'd learned to live with it because even though they got involved in less than savory things, he believed James and Sirius had good hearts. Peter he wasn't sure about since he could never really get into his brain but he assumed Peter was fairly harmless as well. Why wouldn't he be?<br><br>Outside the Gryffindor common room, in the corridors a scuffle had broken out between two Gryffindors. One had been defending Slytherin and the other had been defending Gryffindor which was strange since both were Gryffindor students. The trouble was that one of them thought all students from Slytherin as slimy no-good wankers and the other one had a friend in Slytherin who was different from the majority of those in Slytherin and didn't want to hear his friend being called names. So a fight had broken out. Lupin was the Prefect for Gryffindor House and so naturally he was in charge of any fights or trouble that occurred and as the fight escalated he knew he had to take care of it before it got any further. <strong>"What seems to be the trouble?"</strong> He asked, waiting to hear both sides of the story. Once the situation had been explained Lupin made a ruling that no fights were to occur unsupervised and that they should take care of it in a supervised duel or outside in competition sports.<br><br>If they could not solve their issues with eachother in any of these suggested ways, they should take it up with the headmaster and see what Professor Dumbledore had to say about the matter. The issue resolved, Lupin returned to where Harry was and ran a hand through his hair. <strong>"I'm sorry about that, where were we?"</strong> He inquired, waiting for Harry to respond. Meanwhile down in the cafeteria, James and Sirius had sat down at their table along with Peter who had caught up with them and were waiting for the food to arrive. James spotted Severus not too far away who was sitting with Avery but the slimy git wasn't looking at Avery or the food that lay before him, no he was staring at someone else. At first James thought it had to be him but there was something off about his eyes and so he looked around him to see anyone who was nearby and he discovered the source. Lily Evans. James's eyes narrowed as he glared at Sev from across his table.

				Laughing, Sirius squeezed James close. Yes, the pair almost appeared as though they could be a couple, but everyone knew that James wasn't gay. As for Sirius... well, everyone assumed he was straight. How could someone so attractive be gay?<br><br>But...<br><br>The black haired debonair boy glanced over his shoulder at Remus. <br><br>No, he wasn't straight. Definitely not. <br><br>"If he was your son come to connect with you from the past, then why would he be over there talking to Remus and completely ignoring you?" Sirius laughed, glancing back at his best friend. The idea that he was James' son was even more ridiculous than the possibility of him being a long-lost twin. "He could be a secret government clone that went wrong? You never know. Your dad might have submitted your DNA for cloning." Sirius laughed. "Maybe he's some Slytherin who tried to polyjuice you but messed up the recipe?" He had a bunch of theories - none very close to being correct.<br><br>Meanwhile, Harry was conversing with Lupin. He shook his head when asked if the other male knew him. "No, not yet.. uh, I just heard your friends calling you by your name, that's how I knew." Harry muttered, knowing he was doing a poor job of explaining, but being unable to tell the truth.<br><br>"My name?" Harry asked. But he knew he couldn't really lie or make up a last name. The first last name that came to him was Dursley. That would just be ridiculous. He could call himself Harry Evans, after his mother, but no... "Harry Potter." Harry told Lupin, hoping he wouldn't think it was too weird that he looked so much like James and even had the same last name. <br><br>He paused then, while the werewolf sorted out a fight between a couple of students. When he turned back, Harry merely shrugged and stepped into the Gryffindor common room with him. "I'm new, but I guess I'm in your year, so we have the same dorm." Harry told Lupin.

				Of course everyone knew James Potter wasn't gay. It was obvious from the way he interacted with girls, in particular with Lily Evans who still had to accept a date with him but James was stubborn and wasn't the type to give up what he wanted. Sooner or later he would get Lily, that much he was sure of, it just might take awhile for it to happen. The only thing that stood in his way was that damned slimy git, Snivellus. But from a different perspective he could see how people might consider him and Sirius gay since they always hung out together, shared jokes and pretty much spent all their time with eachother, homosexual couples did exactly the same thing. It never occurred to James that perhaps Sirius wasn't straight, he thought everyone started out straight and had a choice whether to become homosexual or bisexual along the path of life. He assumed that Sirius was just like him and would remain straight for the rest of his life. Lupin on the other hand was a different story.<br><br>James could tell that he was hiding something from them and he suspected it had to do with his sexual orientation because why else would he act so shy when it came to sex and now and then seem grumpy and almost sick? Perhaps he was struggling with trying to decide whether to stray off the path of being straight. It couldn't simply be a case of sickness because no one got sick <em>that</em> much. Lupin seemed to be 'under the weather' nearly every month. One of these days James would confront him and have a little talk so that he could help his friend out so he wouldn't have to struggle any more with issues like that. There wasn't anything wrong with being gay it was just not something he envisioned having in his life but he didn't mind it much if they were his friends. Now his enemies on the other hand, well it was just expected that he should toy with them for being of a different sexual orientation! If Severus ended up being gay James would have a ball exploiting that little tidbit!<br><br>That blasted Slytherin was still staring at Lily! James was trying to contain himself but he wanted to take out his wand and hurl a hex at Severus. He was in the midst of rising from the table when he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see a professor there, shaking her head at him and he sat down again with a scowl. James was known to be one of the troublemakers at school and all the teachers looked out for him there, it was downright annoying and he glowered at the food laid out before them as he let his dark brown eyes fix upon Severus once more. <strong>"I don't know what she sees in that guy. There's nothing of value in him."</strong> James muttered to Sirius as he continued to watch Sev, his eyes flickering over to Lily now and then to make sure she wasn't going to rise and go over to the Slytherin table to associate with her friend. He couldn't figure out how on earth they had known eachother. They had most likely met before she had come to Hogwarts which made the most sense in his mind.<br><br>Because once sorted into their own House, students didn't usually mix with those of other Houses. James raised a brow when Sirius spoke and glanced over at Remus and Harry and tilted his head to the side as he regarded them for a few moments and shook his head. It was just like Lupin to go and make himself useful like that, James didn't really see the point in being nice to others, it was much more entertaining to simply play tricks on people. Not to mention toy with those that were easily riled up like Snivellus. Avery wasn't much fun since he was intelligent enough to simply ignore the pranks played upon him and sometimes he even managed to avoid them altogether which frustrated James quite a bit. It wasn't any fun to toy with Avery if he didn't respond to their taunts at all but Sniv on the other hand was like a drug, it was so easy to get him to react in a violent way that it was downright fun! <strong>"Maybe he finds Moony hot."</strong> He said with a chuckle and pondered over Sirius's idea.<br><br>Somehow he didn't think Harry was a clone gone wrong either, why have him be their age? Not to mention the fact that he appeared to be a fellow Gryffindor student and he was fairly certain that a government clone would not be enrolled in Hogwarts, that was too silly to even think about much less consider. James burst out laughing when Sirius came up with the idea of a Slytherin who had tried to polyjuice him. That actually was the most likely explanation, it made the most sense and also explained why Harry looked so much like him except for the eyes and the voice and he grinned. <strong>"Yeah, that's probably it. If that's the case, why don't we play a trick on him? If he turns out to actually be Gryffindor we can always make it up to him later on...if it's necessary."</strong> James said with a wink and licked his lips as he tried to think of something amusing to do to the new kid who had the bad luck of showing up in the same house as James Potter. <strong>"You got any ideas, Padfoot?"</strong> He asked after a moment.<br><br>Lupin had been delayed from entering the grand hall where the other students were having their meal by the scuffle outside but since it was now over he was free to enter, along with Harry. He nodded when the slightly younger male said that he'd heard his friends call his name which made sense since James and Sirius were always loud, one of the things he found rather annoying about them but he couldn't help but love them. They were great friends when it came down to it, he'd even told them his secret and they hadn't freaked out or told anyone else about his condition. And yet they couldn't really help him as there was no known cure for lycanthropy. Lupin raised a brow when Harry told him his name. <strong>"Harry, Potter? Any relation to James Potter? I didn't think he had any family members at Hogwarts."</strong> He said as he waited for Harry to respond. Lupin was now looking at him rather curiously as though he were trying to figure him out which could be bad if Remus got it into his head to follow up on Harry.

				((James and Sirius and everyone probably already know about Lupin's condition by fifth year. Because it would take them awhile (after figuring it out) to become animagus and then they are already calling him Moony, which they did because of his condition, as a sort of inside joke. ))<br><br>Shrugging, Sirius smirked over at James. "Is that jealousy I detect? Not cool. Why do you care so much about some chick who's into a Slytherin anyway? She's got to have awful taste if she likes Snivellus of all people. Even among Slytherins, there's better than him." Prodding his friend in the ribs with his elbow, Sirius pointed over to a girl with bushy black hair that was eying the pair of them. <br><br>"See, that's Lulia Vane. She's so into you. Or are you the kind that only likes a challenge?" Waggling his eyebrows at James suggestively, he laughed. If any girl would be a challenge, it would be Lily Evans, the Slytherin lover. Although he couldn't deny that even if she was friends with a Slytherin, she was very kind and smart and actually quite pretty. He liked her as much as he could like a woman, being gay and all.<br><br>After turning his attention to Moony and Harry, Sirius couldn't help feeling a little jealous. James didn't make it any better by suggesting Harry liked Moony. Blushing furiously, Sirius rounded on James, as though what he'd said was a personal attack. "H-how could you say that? Who would like Moony anyway!? And they are both boys." Several people had turned to stare at him. <br><br>Blushing an even darker shade, Sirius sunk under the edge of the table. Hopefully Lupin hadn't heard him. He always seemed to have such good hearing...<br><br>From his position under the table, Sirius peeked out at Remus and Harry. "Yes, let's play a trick on him." Sirius said, feeling threatened by this new boy's blossoming friendship with Lupin. When asked for ideas, Sirius wasn't sure exactly. They couldn't do something too awful to a fellow Gryffindor. Not like what they did to Snivellus.<br><br>"Hm... why don't we transfigure him into a girl or something?" That wouldn't be easy - human transfiguration never was, but Sirius and James were both good in the subject - they had to be to become animagi, even if they weren't perfect at it yet. "If he wants to flirt with a man, he should be a girl." Sirius muttered bitterly, glaring back over at Harry and Remus again. <br><br>Harry, meanwhile, was quite happy speaking with Lupin, who was every bit as nice as he remembered him. "No, no, I've never seen him before. Um... I'm muggle-born, actually. That's why I'm new. I uh.. my dad had a problem with me coming...." Harry said, lying on his feet. He felt bad about it, but it was better to dispel any suspicions right now. There was no way he wanted James to catch on that they actually were related.

				((I changed the post to include the fact that James, Sirius and Peter knew about his condition))<br><br>James stiffened when Sirius spoke of Lily in a demeaning way and he narrowed his eyes at his best friend, no one spoke ill of Lily Evans when they were in his presence! <strong>"Don't talk about her like that, Sirius Black. She's the one I want. The one I will have. Sooner or later she'll come around."</strong> He said almost haughtily and tossed his head in the air, running a hand through his wavy hair as he looked over in Lily's direction once more. His eyes lingered on the girl for a few moments before he returned his attention to Sirius when he prodded him in the ribs and James scoffed. <strong>"Vane? Yeah, like I'd hook up with an ugly git like her."</strong><br><br>He said and gave the girl a fake smile, turning away to let the expression slip off his face like water and he rolled his eyes. What James didn't expect though was Sirius to get all riled up when he made a joke about Harry and Lupin being together in a homosexual way. <strong>"What's got you all twisted up today, Padfoot?"</strong> James asked curiously, since usually Sirius was calm and smooth, not flustered like he was now. He watched as Sirius slowly sunk under the edge of the table and out of sight of the others gathered in the hall and shook his head, finding this whole situation rather amusing. Well, to him at least, probably not to Sirius.<br><br><strong>"You should come up with better insults to throw at them Padfoot. Or else people might start to think you're gay."</strong> James said with a chuckle and turned back to his food, feeling in a better mood already. As long as he didn't look over at Lily and Snivellus and Sirius stopped talking about Lily things would be fine. Of course they couldn't play a nasty trick on a fellow Gryffindor, that would be just plain wrong. But tricks in general that were embarrassing were fair game. Students did it all the time. James laughed out loud when Sirius suggested turning Harry into a girl and he didn't care who heard him, after all it was a laugh and not something he had said.<br><br>Girls looked in his direction and smiled to themselves while guys wondered what riot James was going to start now. <strong>"Yes, let's do that. We'll skip the last class of the day and sneak into an empty room to practice it."</strong> James said with a grin and started thinking about scenarios in which he could get Harry alone in order to do the transformation. Perhaps in the common room. And he'd make sure Harry didn't look into a mirror, so that he would go out thinking he was normal and then the havoc would ensue. Since there were only selective ways one could get rid of this transformation and James knew it which was why he had chosen this one in particular.<br><br>The spell ran out, a powerful transformation professor dispelled it or the one who had cast the spell removed it from the target. If Harry realized what had happened instantly he could simply call up the professor who would dispel it and no fun would occur. That was why it was essential that he not look into any mirrors or things that could cause reflections. Not until he'd exposed himself! Lupin's interest in Harry had taken his mind off his inevitable changing and so far it seemed as though he was doing alright. After all, he had something to concentrate on. So this young man was muggle born?<br><br><strong>"Well count yourself lucky that you weren't sorted into Slytherin. You'd have a hell of a time trying to explain that to your fellow members. Gryffindor is fairly welcoming though. I'm sure you'll fit in with time."</strong> Lupin said with a smile and then sighed when he thought about James, Sirius and Peter that Harry had yet to meet or so he thought. <strong>"Although my best friends are a bit on the playful side so they might play a few tricks on you. But don't worry, it's not because they don't like you, it's what they do to everyone who is new. How you respond makes them form an impression of you."</strong> Lupin said, offering Harry some advice.

				((Okay. &lt;3 ))<br><br>Sighing at James' regard of women other than Lily, Sirius merely shrugged. "If you say so, but I doubt she'll want a stupid git like you." He laughed, teasing. Of course he didn't mean it. In his eyes, he and James were the best guys in school and all girls should like them. <br><br>As he slid under the table and James questioned him, Sirius ignored him. What had him twisted up, indeed?... Staring at the pair, that was when James mentioned that people might think he was gay. Biting his lip, Sirius held back a reply. If he got all defensive about it, that would only make it seem like he was. <br><br>Which he might have been, but only for Moony. <br><br>"I don't insult my friends." Sirius mumbled. He was always teasing James, but that was different. Teasing was not the same as seriously insulting somebody, even if you didn't insult them to their face. He liked Moony too much for that. <br><br>So they would go practice changing people into girls. That meant a lot of self-experimentation. It would be weird changing James into a girl, but also hilarious. If only he could get a picture of it, but technology didn't work at Hogwarts. Oh well. <br><br>Shrugging, Harry smiled at Lupin. "If I was in Slytherin, I just wouldn't say what my lineage was. Do you think that makes me a bad person? Well, I suppose if I was in Slytherin, I wouldn't have any problem lying anyway." He nodded at the older male's warning, although he already knew that James and Sirius would probably play a trick or two on him. They had been quite the troublemakers, even if Harry refused to believe they'd actually been mean. <br><br>"I think I'll go set up my bed and stuff in the dorms. You should eat, but I'll see you later." Harry said to Lupin, smiling a bit before heading up toward the common room.

				This time he could tell that Sirius was merely teasing and he smacked his friend on the head goodnaturedly as he rolled his eyes at the other male. Wasn't Sirius supposed to be helping him get into Lily's good graces, not shooting him down all the time? <strong>"Of course she'll want me. Eventually. Don't all the girls here?"</strong> James said with a chuckle and went on to speak of other matters since he didn't want to pursue the matter of Lily Evans any further for the time being. He raised a brow when Sirius said he didn't insult his friends. <strong>"Why not? They know you're just joking and it's not as if they can't retaliate too!"</strong> The fact of the matter was that James didn't really know the difference between teasing and insulting, he'd never been able to tell them apart which was why he got into trouble. Nearly all the time.<br><br>Time passed so slowly now that they had a goal in mind but finally it was time for their last class of the day and James slyly sneaked out after their teacher called attendance. He had chosen this one specifically because it wasn't one of the hardass teachers like Professor McGonagall. Once he and Sirius had gotten down into the designated area they had chosen to practice their self experimentation, James got out his wand. <strong>"Let's do this. How about I test it on you first of all."</strong> He said wickedly and before Sirius had a chance to respond he had shouted out the spell and waited to see the results of his actions. That was when a noise was heard not too far away from them which sounded like something was being poured into a cauldron in the same room. Only a bit further away. <strong>"Did you hear that?"</strong><br><br>James asked as he exchanged glances with Sirius and he set off, wand in hand as he headed off to see what had made such a noise. Rounding a corner he saw a familiar greasy git standing by a cauldron with a book open and James smirked as he silently waved for Sirius to take a look. Standing there was Severus Snape who was trying out a new potion that he had created which he had written down in his book. James communicated silently with Sirius. He wanted to play a trick on the Slytherin. Torment him. Hell he would have tried out the experimentation on Sev if he'd known it would work. But even James wouldn't try out something he didn't know the consequences of on another person - it could kill them perhaps and he didn't want to get into trouble for that. Now hexes and curses were a different thing and so was tormenting them.<br><br>Perhaps stripping him naked and hanging him upside down in the potions classroom would do the trick. Humiliation was always a good technique. James pointed his wand at Severus. <strong>"Expelliarmus!"</strong> He chuckled when Sev's wand flew out of his hand and then spoke another spell that plucked him up into the air and suspended him upside down. James gestured and his wand made the Slytherin circle around in the air upside down as he grinned, having fun with this. <strong>"Padfoot. Grab that rope on the shelf and tie his ankles to the upper beams."</strong> He said and used another spell to rip apart Severus's robes, watching as they fell off the Slytherin's body with glee. Soon Sev was clothed only in his indoor garments minus his robes and cloak. James continued to strip him of all articles of clothing until none were left but his undergarment.<br><br>The one which concealed what made him a man and he smirked wickedly. <strong>"My my, what have we here? Snivellus you should know better than to sneak off and conduct potion experimentation by yourself! I think we should punish you for this transgression!"</strong> James said with a grin and then used a flick of his wand to remove the last bit of clothing from Severus's upside down body, knowing he couldn't do a thing without his wand. Plus he was up in the air. <strong>"You got it done yet Padfoot?"</strong> James called out, waiting for Sirius to tell him he was done tying Sev's ankles to the beam up near the ceiling and waited for his friend to update him on the status. Remus Lupin was beginning to like this Harry boy and didn't think James and Sirius would mind that he was spending some time with him.<br><br>They saw him every day and Harry was new which meant he was interesting to Lupin. <strong>"Touche."</strong> He responded to Harry's words and nodded when the other said he was going to go set up some things in his room and took a seat at the table where James, Sirius and Peter were currently. Time passed and the rest of the day was pretty uneventful and before too long it was the last class of the day which he was looking forward to. Finally he would get to rest. Of course he noticed that James and Sirius weren't around in class which probably meant they had skipped it to do something 'troublesome' most likely. Lupin sighed. Hopefully they didn't get into too much trouble.

				The day passed slowly, but finally, it was time to go experiment. Sirius went with James down to the deserted classroom and drew his wand. Of course he'd been expecting that James would try and hex him first, so he let it happen when the spell was cast his way. However, James should have been concentrating more instead of just trying to get the first hit, because Sirius soon realized that even though he'd been partially changed into a woman, he wasn't completely. <br><br>Awkwardly, he poked his chest and discovered that he had breasts, but he also realized that he still had a certain male part between his legs. Just about to tell James to finish the spell or reverse it, Sirius stepped forward, but then they heard a mysterious sound. Pausing, Sirius glanced around. "Yeah, I heard it." He whispered, creeping forward to see who or what was making the noise.<br><br>Sneaking around the corner, Sirius caught sight of Snape. Hah! They were in luck. Although poor Snivellus was very unlucky to run across them like this. Especially since he didn't even realize they were there before James had shot his wand out of his hand. <br><br>Moving to comply with James' request, Sirius jumped up to the shelt and grabbed the rope. Then, using his wand, he levitated it over to where Snape was and made it tie itself around his ankles. Smirking up at the Slytherin for a moment, Sirius crossed his arms. <br><br>However, he hadn't really been expecting James to take it so far and when he did, Sirius glanced over at him awkwardly. "Hey, James, we could get in trouble for going this far..." Sirius said. He usually agreed with everything James did, but this was going beyond a simple prank.

				It was rather amusing when they experimented on eachother and James gave Sirius a pair of breasts instead of fully transforming him into a woman. Of course he had to do it first because that was the way James was, he loved being the center of attention and the one to get a complicated spell under wraps before anyone else did. Normally, James wasn't this nasty to Snivellus but he was still furious at the Slytherin for looking at Lily the way he had earlier up in the dining hall.<br><br>And he wanted to do everything he could to make Sniv lash out at others. His goal was to do so much damage that the greasy git would snap at Lily and she would see that there was nothing good at all about Snape. And that she should stick with him and be his girlfriend. But of course he couldn't drive Severus to such lengths by only playing some harmless pranks on him...no he had to be <em>wicked</em> and do things that could get them in real trouble with Hogwarts.<br><br>Not enough to get them kicked out of course but they might lose quite a few House points. Yes, he might be hated by Gryffindor students this year but if he ended up obtaining Lily Evans James didn't care. He had a one track mind and currently that was revolving around Lily Evans. James glanced over at Sirius and his resolve wavered a bit but his anger was a force that could not be reckoned with and he warred with himself, trying to consider all the factors.<br><br>It was too likely that they would be blamed for this if it became public knowledge. Maybe Sirius was right and James growled to himself, hoping that what followed next was enough to do the job. <strong>"Fine. We won't leave him here to everyone to find when they come into class. Since you're so concerned about him, why don't you tell someone of your choosing where Snivellus is so that they can come rescue him from his predicament."</strong> James spat and turned on his heel to leave the room.<br><br>It was obvious he was in a pretty crappy mood since Sirius had spoiled his fun, it wasn't as amusing to toy with the greasy male if he didn't have Sirius's support egging him on. Severus had been taken off guard and only realized someone else was in the room with him as his wand went flying out of his hand and then he was hanging upside down in the air without warning. The first thought that came to mind was Potter and the voice that spoke a few moments later matched his suspicion.<br><br>Now he could see the faces of his two tormentors. <strong>"Let me go!"</strong> He exclaimed and his hands came up to try and hold the pieces of his sliced up robes and clothing together but they fell apart quite quickly leaving him with nothing and his face turned a bright red. At least no one was here to see him but it was still downright humiliating and Severus swore that he would one day repay the favor by taking them all out once and for all. He didn't have enough power at the moment.<br><br>But in the future he would and the young wizard thought about what Lucius had told him about the Dark Lord. Maybe he would join him just to get enough power and then leave to wreck havoc on Potter and his lackeys. Payback's a bitch.

				When James turned on his heel to storm out of the room, Sirius felt bad for suggesting that what they were doing was wrong. He knew James got a bit carried away sometimes, but he didn't care if it meant James would be mad at him. "Wait." Sirius said, hurrying after James. <br><br>"Just leave him there. You're right. It was a good idea. I wonder what the teachers will say when they see him." Sirius smirked a bit, even though he didn't really feel that way. He still didn't want to get in huge trouble and get expelled or anything, but even if they did get expelled, it didn't matter, he supposed. As long as they got expelled together. <br><br>"Now, could you get rid of these things?" Sirius said, once they'd walked a bit away from the classroom. He glanced down at his chest and prodded one of his breasts. They were rather awkward and well... being gay, he'd never been a huge fan of breasts anyway. <br><br>Meanwhile, Harry had just been walking by. Surprised to see Sirius with boobs and James looking angry, he paused around a corner to listen to what they were saying. They'd left someone somewhere? Well, there was only one classroom nearby and based on their expressions, they'd done something to whoever it was. Harry, curious, decided to slip into the room while they had their backs turned. At this point, he was really wishing for the old invisibility cloak. <br><br>After sneaking into the classroom, Harry crept forward to see what had happened in there, if anything.

				He knew he had a temper but it was hard to control it sometimes. When Sirius hurried after him, telling him to wait, James slowed down a bit but didn't stop because there was no point to, they weren't going to go back in. His pride was mollified though when Sirius admitted that he was right and that it was a good idea to leave Snivellus there. <strong>"No. You have a point, Padfoot. It would be going too far to leave him in the classroom for long. I just can't stand him."</strong><br><br>James growled and made a face, for as much as he would have loved to simply continue with his original plan, he knew Sirius might not feel the same. He could tell that his best friend was only saying these things so he wouldn't get mad at him. <strong>"I'm gonna get some fresh air. Go tell Moony to help Sniv out of his predicament down in the potions classroom."</strong> He told Sirius and then started off down the hall, robes billowing out behind him as he walked, girls trying to attract his attention as he went.<br><br>One more day in the life of James Potter, Seeker of Gryffindor House and beloved by all. Or so he thought. Severus was currently attempting to find out where James had discarded his wand. Surely the animal hadn't taken it with him, had he? It was a bit hard to do this though when he was hanging upside down, dangling from the rafters. His rage boiled within him as he thought up numerous curses and hexes to throw at Potter when he got out of this. And Severus was very good at creating his own spells.<br><br>He'd even made a journal of them all and kept it close to him. Only Avery knew about it and even his friend didn't know where Sev stashed it. He tensed when he heard Harry creep forward, expecting one of the Marauders to have returned to deliver more torment on him. His face was a mixture of rage and apprehension, what had they come up with now? It had seemed as though the two from earlier had parted on not-so stellar terms. Had they come together and decided to do something further to him?<br><br>And then he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face, one he'd only seen once before and he frowned as he stared at an upside down figure of Harry.

				As he watched James walk away, a slight wind in the corridors blew Sirius' black hair around a bit. Even though James seemed to kind of understand the point he had made about them getting into too much trouble, Sirius was worried. They were fifth years now, but James didn't seem to have matured one day since he'd been a first year. Even if the girls thought he was sexy, Lily saw through his attitude and didn't like what she saw.<br><br>Sirius was beginning agree with her.<br><br>And now he had to go find some teacher to get the boobs off his chest. This was just turning out to be a lovely day. <br><br>Meanwhile, Harry had walked into the classroom and frozen when he saw a certain black haired Slytherin hanging upside down, and quite naked, from the ceiling. "What the hell is this?" He asked in surprise, looking away quickly. <br><br>Of all people to see naked, why did it have to be Severus? ... "Er.. <em>Relashio</em>." Harry muttered, sweeping his wand and glancing up to see the belt cut away. He also nicked Snape's ankle accidentally, since he hadn't wanted to look too closely.<br><br>And then, a bit late, Harry realized that once the belt was cut, Snape was going to fall. Without having time to think up an incantation, Harry had to drop his wand and dive forward, catching Snape just before he would have hit the hard tile floor and sending them both toppling to the ground. <br><br>The brown haired boy hit his head and broke his glasses, but was otherwise alright. "Unh... are you okay?" He groaned, rubbing his head and pulling his arms away from the naked male.

				In all the rush, he'd completely forgotten about Sirius and the fact that his best friend still had boobs on his chest and he only remembered after he had gotten out of the building. By then he figured it was too late but Padfoot would forgive him, he knew that because it had been an honest mistake and James hadn't <em>intentionally</em> left them on Sirius. Now if he had...well that was a James-like thing to do and then he wouldn't mind if Sirius got mad but in this case it was different.<br><br>He managed to make it outside without running into anyone who might want to talk to him and murmured a few choice words when he got a clearing outside of the castle itself. <strong>"Accio Firebolt!"</strong> Not two minutes later his broom came flying out of his tower and straight towards him and James caught it with a flourish as he mounted the flying contraption and shot off into the sky. Yeah, it wasn't Quidditch time and this wasn't the playing field but James didn't care, he liked to break the rules most of the time.<br><br>It was one of the best ways to have a bit of fun. None of his stunts had ever crossed the line, except for what he had been thinking of a few minutes ago with Snivellus and James wondered why he had considered letting an entire class see the Slytherin in such a way. Evans made his mind crazy when she favored a male who was someone other than him. He didn't understand why, she was just a chick and yet there was something special about her and he couldn't seem to get Lily out of his mind.<br><br>Severus didn't know what sort of game they were playing but sending Harry to help him out? What was going on here? He narrowed his eyes when Harry asked what the hell this was and declined to answer, it wasn't as though the Gryffindor was going to listen to him anyway. Before he knew it he was falling from the ceiling and strangely enough when he hit the floor it wasn't the floor but instead some soft body and he opened his eyes to see that he was on top of the newcomer. Naked.<br><br>He blushed and immediately scrambled away from the young man, to quickly turn away from Harry, hiding in the shadows as he looked out after a few minutes. <strong>"Can you...find me some clothing..."</strong> Severus managed to ask, half of him believing that Harry would simply decline and make fun of him like Potter and the others did but the other half hoped that Harry would actually help him out.

				Scooting away from Snape, Harry glanced over at him a bit. But without his glasses, he was blind, and he didn't see anything. When asked to find Snape some clothing, Harry blushed a bit and pulled off his own robe. He always wore muggle clothes beneath it, so it wasn't like he was going to be naked. Although he would get house points deducted if teachers saw him wearing something other than his Hogwarts robes. <br><br>"Take it." Harry mumbled. He wasn't as long and lanky as Snape, but his robe should fit alright, even if it showed the Slytherin's ankles from the bottom. <br><br>After handing off the robes, Harry grabbed the pieces of his glasses and began to fumble about for his wand. When he finally found it, he tapped the pieces of glasses and muttered "<em>Reparo</em>". The glasses immediately flew back together and the lenses mended themselves. Magic really was amazing, Harry thought, as he put the spectacles back over the bridge of his nose and peered at Snape.<br><br>"Uh... are you okay?" Harry asked, nervously. Snape in the future was anything but pleasant, and the boy did not exactly want to be teased or ridiculed today. Even though he'd just rescued Snape from... whatever it was that had happened, he didn't put it past the Slytherin to insult him.
