A golden chain \\ time turner \\ regulus black

Chapter 28 \\ the marauders

A week went by before Genna and Remus removed the glitter. In that time james had swapped the salt with the sugar at the entire slytherin table, charmed her books to bee heavy, which she easily undid, he bribed a fifth year to transfigure her robes into a stripper outfit (she transfigured his robes the same way only he was wearing them in the middle of class at the time)

Sirius had gotten his revenge on Remus in a unique way. Any time Remus was in the bathroom Sirius would follow him in without being seen and start making moaning noises and saying "oh merlin" and "yes right there". Safe to say Remus was scared of using the restroom.

Classes had gone smoothly and Genna often found herself sleeping in the boys dorm to escape her nightmares.

Genna was currently sitting in the library writing her essay on the goblin wars for history of magic when severus and lily sat across from her.

She looked up and sent them a smile as they got out their books and began on their essay as well.

After a few minutes she heard Lily whisper to severus. She wasn't really paying much attention to it but when she heard James's name she frowned and began listening.

"I know she's your friend sev, but she was raised in the same place as her brother.'' Genna clenched her jaw and pretended to continue writing.

"Lil's she's not like him, she's nice, and you shouldnt be bad mouthing people, especially when their next to you."

"Sev I know you think she's nice but you've seen first-hand how rude her brother is. I wouldn't be surprised if she's just using you to get dirt to help him."

Genna slammed her book shut, put her essay in her bag and walked off before she did something she would regret.

She was fuming as she made her way towards the slytherin common room but before she got there another first year handed her a letter and walked off.

Miss Potter, I very much admire your necklace.

P.s. i love peppermint toad

She rolled her eyes and quickly went to her dorm to fetch the time turner.

Once she found it she pocketed it and went to Dumbledore's office.

"Peppermint toads." she spoke clearly and the statue moved aside to reveal the stairs. She walked up, almost tripping over the umbrella stand, and walked in, not bothering to knock.

He raised a brow when she walked in but brushed it off as she sat down and pulled the necklace out of her pocket.

"You know, I really don't like the way you word your notes. I mean, is it so hard to say 'bring the time turner to my office, the password is peppermint toads'?"

He sighed. "The time turner was all I needed." he said and grabbed it from her hand.

She scoffed and rolled her eyes, "yah, like i'm going to just walk away, having no idea what you're going to do with it."

His eyes sparkled a little and he looked amused. "I'm going to study it, try and figure out if there's a way to put you back in your time and return things to how it belongs."

She scoffed, "according to sirius im supposed to be here, and seeing as this is the past and i'm from the future, as is sirius, i'm going to go with, i am supposed to be here and this is how things belong."

He frowned, "if you were supposed to be in this time the time would have made it so, you would have been born in this time, not the future. Time is not to be meddled with."

"You know, this isn't the first time turner I've seen. No, my friend Hermione had a time turner, she used it all of her third year, and you didn't seem to mind when it was her travelling through time and stopping certain things from happening." he opened his mouth to stop her but she continued. "At least with me I'm actually supposed to be here, I'm not changing anything. But if you what to act like it i can, i can tell james he ends up with lily, i can tell them that they die before their kid turns two, i can tell sirius he goes to azkaban for a crime he didn't commit-"

"Miss weasley!" he shouted. His eyes were filled with rage. She held her head high and her gaze not faltering.

He sat the time turner in front of her. "Get out. And if I find out you've told anyone else anything, I will turn you into the ministry and let them deal with you."

"Is Alastor head auror yet? Cus if so then i can totally deal with that, i can just tell him everything you did and he can send you to azkaban!" she grabbed the time turner and pocketed it.

His head swivelled around and he stared at her. She knew he was trying to use legitimacy but she had already had her memories boxed away.

She sent him a smirk and walked out.

It took her about twenty minutes to get to her dorm, she put the time turner away and sighed, it was one of the rare days this time of year that was relatively sunny out. While a little chilly it was still enjoyable.

She took a quick shower and then ventured outside and sat at a tree next to the lake.

After a few minutes James, Sirius, Remus and Peter came out and sat with her.

"So, I think we need to prank other students. Cuz separately our pranks on each other are pretty good, imagine what they can be with our combined intellect!"

"That sounds ridiculous." Peter rolled his eyes.

"No, no," Remus said, "James is right, we could be pretty great."

Sirius nodded, "yea, we could prank anyone in the school! A pranking group."

Genna sat quiet with a smile, so this was how the marauder originated.

"So," James sat up straight. "I think the first order of business is to come up with a name for ourselves."

Sirius and Remus sat straighter and genna leaned forward, interested in what they could come up with.

"what about, nice and simple, pranksters." Peter said.

"No." the four of them answered in unison.

After a few minutes Remus came up with something. "What about, The Impish Five."

"Meh,"

"No... it doesn't sound right."

"Yah, no."

"Well," Sirius started, "we could be, The aberrant quintuple."

"hmm, no, it just doesn't sound right." James shook his head.

They all nodded in agreement.

"Maybe we could be the Deviating group." James said, but immediately shook his head.

Genna decided now was a good time to pitch the marauders.

"Wait!" They all looked at her. "What about The Marauders."

James and Sirius smiled and Remus nodded. "perfect.
