The first thing Bill did during free period was go to the library. He checked out a book about ancient symbols and shoved it into his bag.

The second thing Bill did was walk into the hallway to go back to the Slytherin dungeons. When he walked through the door, he was immediately covered from head to toe in Gryffindor colors. Scowling, he stormed into his dorm, gently set his bag down (he didn't want the glass ink pots to break and get all over his book. Madame Pince was scarier than Satan slaughtering you when a book was ruined) and stormed back out. He glanced around the hallway, clenching and unclenching his teeth, before he spotted a foot. The Marauders! 

His Slytherin prefect badge shone brightly against his uniform and he followed over to where the foot was. There was nothing there. Wait! He had read about this, but they were extremely rare... An invisibility cloak. He reached his hand down, and, sure enough, he felt someone's head. 

"Dang it, Peter, why'd you give us away?" Bill heard James ask, and Bill ripped the invisibility cloak off of them.

"I knew it!" He snarled, "Five house points from each of you -except Remus because he's also a prefect." Bill remembered that you couldn't take points away from another prefect. "All for pranking another house. Now. Reverse. The. Effects. NOW!" 

"Wow, we've never seen you mad before," Peter cowered. Bill's face was bright red with anger and his face was so furious that you could've mistook him for tea. That's how steaming he was. Bill began to laugh, and replied. 

"Oh, this? This is just my, 'anger for your foolish and idiotic pranks!' You don't want to see me when I'm really, truly mad!" 

The group of boys stared at him.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Bill glared at them. "An invitation? Because I've certainly given you one to reverse the effects." 

"Bill," Remus spoke calmly, "it doesn't work that way. It takes three hours for you to return to normal." 

"THREE HOURS?" Bill shouted. "IN AN HOUR I COULD BE ON A DATE, IN TWO HOURS I COULD BE AT A FUNERAL WHERE MY GRANDMOTHER DIED, IN TWO AND A HALF HOURS I COULD BE AT AN INTERVIEW FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB OF MY LIFE! You guys don't get it! You don't understand that you're bullying and these 'pranks' are messing and ruining people's lives! Slytherins's lives! You say that all Slytherins are evil, but you're just as bad! You hexed first years for fun until last year because Lily told you to stop once she found out! Not to mention, this is the third time this week you've pranked the Slytherins, and I'm sick of it! It's the first actual day of school too! I won't forget about when you targeted me! Telling me to die, to jump off the astronomy tower, that I'm an evil Slytherin and will turn out to be a death eater, and that I'm a traitor and so on! That was unacceptable and I won't forget it! I just won't! Now that you're done with me, you're going to other students! Don't you think you're being childish? Honestly, we're in fifth year! Our friendship is more off and on then a muggle light switch! I'm tired of it! You guys need to make a decision: Am I you're friend or not? Because I certainly think I am, but you continue to disrespect me and my house! Sirius, you say that you're family is racist to muggle-borns, but you're the exact opposite! You're racist to houses! I bet you think that Hufflepuffs are just leftovers too, but they're not. They have feelings too! And that all Slytherins are evil? You barely know any Slytherins (that aren't your family) to make that decision. I have some words of wisdom for you Marauders: treat people the way you want to be treated." Suddenly, Bill's eyes (yes, the blind one too) rolled into the back of his head. A booming voice was heard throughout the dungeons. 

"In one year lives will change,

In one year foolishness will stop it's range.

In one year a friendship will end,

In four years a seer will send,

A message from the sight,

That will create another war between both -dark and light." 

The Marauders looked at Bill, shocked. James was the first to speak.

"Bill... Are you okay?" Right after he said that, Bill collapsed. The four friends carried him to the hospital wing, after force-feeding the potion that cleared the Gryffindor colors. They didn't want to lose anymore house points!

"MADAME POMFREY!!" Sirius shouted.

"Quiet!" She hissed at him, gesturing at the few sleeping students. "Now, why are you in here?" That was when she noticed Bill. "Oh boy! What happened?"

"Well, we were talking, then he started speaking in this really loud voice and his eyes rolled into the back of his head, and then after he, well, he fainted," Remus said.

"Oh my..." She whispered. "What did he say?"

"Well, he was speaking in sort of a rhyme... Saying something like, 'In one year lives will change, In one year foolishness? Yeah, foolishness will stop... It's range. Something about friendship ending in a year too, and then something about in four years, right? A seer will send some message from the sight and it will create a war." 

"No!" 

"Yes." 

"Well, put him on this bed, I'll go get a potion that'll help if he has a concussion. Do try to wake him up. Please." She looked at the boys before turning away to where the potions were held. James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter set Bill down (on the bed) and began to shake him. 

"Bill, wake up!" chanted Sirius and James as Remus and Peter kept on shaking him. They stopped when Bill's eyes shot open, both glowing blue, and then they rolled back to normal. 

"What happened?" He asked groggily. 

"Um..." The boys looked at each other. "We're not exactly sure." 

"You did faint though. Oh, and you might be a seer." 

"You're joking, right?" Bill laughed to himself, but stopped when he saw their faces. "Yeesh, Voyant actually might be right about something." 

"The divination teacher?"

"Ha, yeah. Never knew she could actually predict, though." 

"Wow." Madame Pomfrey arrived with the concussion potion. 

"Oh, thank Merlin! They managed to wake you up! Do you remember anything before you fainted?"

"Only being pranked," Bill's eyes, err, eye cast a steely gaze at the Marauders.

"Okay. Here, drink this just in case!" Bill shut his eyes and chugged the potion. He didn't want to know what disgusting color it might've been before. "You can leave now." 

The boys left and Bill noticed the red and gold were gone. "Was I out for three hours?"

"No." The four other boys said and quickly bolted.

"Okay." Bill continued walking back to the dungeons, got his stuff, and went to his next class. A question lurking in the back of his mind leaped to the front. 


Where were Evan, Severus, and Regulus?
