Hogwarts RPG Name: Athena Evans (A twin) Third | Do you Know What Time it is??? AN: Sorry this took me so long to get done guys, but I had to work out a few kinks. I am posting the last part of the last chapter. I had to change some things, and I have another chapter, but I have to change that also. I realized that I killed the same people 3 and 4 times! Sorry about myself And without further ado..... “We are the Marauders.” Harry’s father spoke slowly, with emphasis. He wore a stark expression, the glimmer of amusement gone from his eyes. “We have brought you here to join with us,” Sirius spoke up, “There is much that we can teach you, much that you need to learn.” He to showed no sign of a smile. “Welcome, to our Secret Underground Lair.” Although Lupin also spoke solemnly, after a moment, the other two men burst into laughter. “Underground Lair?” “What is wrong with you?” “You’ve been watching too many muggle movies.” The façade of seriousness was now completely gone as Harry watched his father and Sirius gang up on Lupin, in a mock fight. Harry laughed as he watched, the years and the pain seeming to melt off of each of the men, for a moment, Harry could see the carefree boys they had once been. He sat down in one of the chairs, the laughter seemingly dried up in him. It took several moments for the men to realize that not only had Harry not joined in, but that a cloud of depression hung over the boy. “We created this group, this image for ourselves to escape the harshness of life, to forget, if even for a moment the troubles that everyone knew would come.” Lupin had come up and was kneeling in front of Harry. “We knew that something was coming, even when we were still in school, there were the beginnings of talks, rumors of horrible things occurring. We knew then it wasn’t if, it was when.” Sirius added “I thought you did this for Lupin?” Harry asked. “No, no!” James laughed, “We became Animagus’ for him, but we had created The Marauders long before that.” “Oh.” Harry said softly, looking at the ground, “Well, why have you brought me here? I can’t take Peter’s place, you know.” He looked up at the group. “We aren’t asking you to.” James said simply. “We want you to have your own place, but what The Marauders were, they don’t exist anymore, but in our memory and in our hearts.” James placed his hand over his heart, while Sirius rolled his eyes. “You weren’t when then.” Sirius said bluntly. “But that doesn’t mean we can’t do new things, teach you knew things.” Lupin added smiling. “We brought you down here to begin training to become and animagus. “ “We have decided it would be in your best interest to do this, for your….protection.” Sirius said, grinning mischievously. James snorted in the background. “You will meet with one of us three times a week, always a different one of us, but always down here. We figure that the less people who know, the better.” Lupin said firmly. “Plus, there are Ministry People up there, and becoming registered might defeat the purpose, don’t you think?” Sirius asked, brushing a piece of lint off of his arm, unable to hide the wicked gleam in his eyes. “You didn’t hear this from us…” James added in a conspiratory tone, looking around as if someone could over hear them. “But they are going to start up your Occlumency training again, Snape is just too good. We are therefore willing to work around that schedule in order to maintain our level of secrecy.” Harry laughed, “I don’t want to know how you found that out! You are worse than the twins!” “I’m not sure about that.” James said, respect in his eyes, “maybe we should bring them into this as well.” He pondered. “Ron and Hermione could benefit from this also, as could Ginny.” Harry quietly added, looking at the far wall, therefore missing the exchange of looks from the three men. “It’s settled then, tonight at 2:am, bring Ron, Hermione and Ginny here, we will talk to the Twins.” James said nodding in pleasure. “I wouldn’t be surprised if those twins have already figured it out.” Sirius said, rubbing his chin. Lupin laughed, “You might be right Sirius, in that case they could be some help to us too!” The group made their way to the door, preparing to leave, “Next time, we will show you what this place really looks like Harry.” Sirius laughed as he opened the door. His laughter died abruptly in his throat. Standing in the hallway were Minerva and Moody.
