I closed my eyes, and felt an prodding at my mind. I relaxed letting it in.

All of the sudden, it was as if I was obtaining a million pieces of information as once, seeing a bunch of images flying into my mind. My memories, I saw that I am an animagus a white wolf, and I was a marauder nicknamed Moona, and apparently I dated Sirius. I cannot look at him in the same way, ever again.

It's been a long time since that day, where I learned that I am infact a Dumbledore, which gave me the chance to get to go to Hogsmeade. Even though there are dementors out and about. Sadly because of this, Harry was not allowed off school grounds.

I entered a sweet shop which was absolutely divine. I couldn't believe all the different sweets there were. In the orphanage, we never had sweets and when I was living on my own, I stole a Milky Way which surprised me on how something like that tasted, which made me love sweets.

I got this one candy that was sweet but also sour, which reminded me of a song I heard a while back, It went like this: You put a sour flavor in my mouth now. You move in circles hoping no one's gonna find out. But we're so lucky, Kiss the ring and let them bow down. Looking for the time of your life... It's a good song but now that I think about it. I am quite sure that it wasn't about candy. Oh well.

I took on the last name Dumbledore, saying that Dumbledore has adopted me, just so we don't give away the fact that there is magic that can make you young again and what not.

I went to visit Sirius at the Shrieking Shack. I was quite nervous, since apparently me and him were once a thing. This is going to be awkward.

"Hi, Padfoot. I got you something."

"Thanks, Moona," he said, "Oh sorry."

"No it's fine, why don't you tell me about this Moona and the rest of the Marauder's."

He choked, surprised. He cleared his throat with some water.

"How do you know she was a Marauder?"

"I found a map."

"Mischief Managed," he said quietly reminiscing.

"Well, there where five of us. I am Padfoot, as you miraculously guessed. Harry's dad James was Prongs, Moony was Remus, Wormtail is Peter, and the last one the only female Marauder was Moona."

"What did she look like?"

"Huh, actually you look exactly how she did in our fourth year. The resemblance is uncanny," his voice cracked.

"Did she mean a lot to you?"

"Yeah she was the ying to my yang. Since we were both dogs, it was fun causing mischief together. We actually dated for a while, but broke it off for two reasons. One being we were better friends, and she had her eye on a fellow wolf."

"A wolf?" I asked.

"Yeah she was a white wolf. We actually were all animagi. We became animagi to help Moony, who was bitten and couldn't control himself during the Full Moon so we would stay with him. We would get pretty battered, but surprisingly Moona got through to him. Saving us from getting harmed even more."

I apparently liked Remus, oh Merlin. Explains why I feel for him.

"To bad she disappeared though. She and Remus could have made beautiful children-"

"Too much information! Young girl here."

Sirius cracked a grin and I was about to leave when I asked, "Wait, Padfoot, did Remus like her back."

"I guess, but better to hear the answer from the wolf's mouth," he said as he took a bite of his sandwich.

I walked back to the school with a headache, this was all too weird. 

I dated Sirius but never really liked him, I liked Remus, I am hoping James was like a brother to me, and perhaps Peter, nah I probably never like Peter.

Dumbledore says I am good at impersonating people, which isn't wrong. I have been doing that since I was younger. Bothering the wife that owned the orphanage by impersonating her dead husband. Who I did not kill. He died from alcohol poisoning not the vase to the head.

"CURSE YOU VOLDEMORT." I yelled. Oh darn. I shivered. I forgot I get like that when I say his name. I went in search for Moony to ask about Moona.

"Hello, Professor Lupin."

"Oh hello, Ariana. Anything I can help you with?"

"Yeah, do you know anything about the Marauders?" I asked.

"Yeah, but how did you find out about them?"

"Oh well, I found this map that Fred and George Weasley had which had their names on the cover."

"What makes you think, I am one of them?"

"That day with the boggart."

"Oh, you know..."

"Don't worry, Rem. Your secret's safe with me."

He smiled.

"Well I hung out with them, they were my friends, we were pranksters, more than I was. I enjoyed a few laughs here and there but not as much. The only decent one was our friend Moona, she was the only female, and a Ravenclaw. She was also a prefect like I was."

"She sounds lovely."

"She was. I regret not noticing sooner. She always got me out of trouble, even though I didn't participate in most of the pranks anyways. She was kind, smart, and overall a great witch."

"Did you like her?"

"What?"

"Did you fancy her, the way you describe her is as if you did."

"I guess I did, but I wish I had realized sooner. I always did enjoy her company. She was entertaining to have around. Always had everyone's best interest at heart, but she never really got along with Wormtail."

"What did she look like?"

"I have a picture," he said. Taking out a worn out picture from his pocket. It was the Marauders lined up with Lily on the left next to James leaning on his shoulder smiling, then it was Moona who James had his arm around who was next to Moony who also had his arm around Moona and Sirius, then lastly was Peter.

"Bloody hell,"I mumbled. This picture is proof.

"What was that?"

"Nothing, it's just that you all looked to be great friends and that Moona, kinda looks like me."

"Strange isn't it, I made the same connection when I saw you on the train. You two are strikingly similar."

I smiled, "Where did Moona go?"

"She disappeared when she received a letter to get supplies for Lily and James wedding, She was so happy, James was like a brother to her. They told each other everything, more than what you tell a friend, they were like family, so when she disappeared James was upset and couldn't go through with the wedding that day, but somehow she knew and sent her patronus that she was fine and that they should continue the wedding."

"She sounds brave, so was Moona her real name."

Remus chuckled, which made me feel warm inside.

"No but her name was long, just like her father's it took me a while to remember her whole name but it was, Ariana Penelope Briana Windy Dumbledore."

"That is a long name," I said smiling.

He smiled back, "It is."

"Thank you for your time," I said as I hopped off the desk. My heart was beating fast. When I got past the door, I felt extremely dizzy and the room was spinning, I felt my head hit something which knocked me out cold. The last thing I felt was someone catching me as my vision was consumed by darkness.
