No Voldemort - Marauders Survive

Chapter 7

"HAARRY! Get up!"
Harry groaned as something heavy landed on his stomach. "Geruff, I'm too tired."
He heard a giggle. That will be one of his sisters "Come on Harry, i want to make pancakes."
Harry grinned and lightly shoved his sister of his bed, red hair - that will be Rose, "go get everything out while i get changed then." He said climbing out of his bed. His bedsheets where red - Gryffindoor red to be exact. The sheets went well with his room, it was also covered in red. On one wall stood a lion in a jungle. It was charmed to walk around and could be used as an alarm clock. Not that Harry used it often, waking up by hearing a lions roar isn't exactly very pleasant.
"Noo Harry!" His little sister squealed pulling him out the door, "it's much funner in you PJ's and you now it." It was hard at times like this to remember that she was 8 - nearly 9, but her and Harry where always close. She wasn't as much a prankster as he was but she was extremely smart. She had her mothers flair for charms as well as her hair and temper. Her twin, Rebecca , was much better at potions.  She would often watch and help their mum with potion making. She got along well with their mothers friend Snape.  Snape hated the Marauders though ,young and old ones, so Harry never saw much of him. Snape and the older Marauders had gotten over their feud but they wouldn't call themselves friends. Rebecca and Rose where as much a prankster as the boys where, if not more. Rebecca was cunning and ambitious and would fit in well in Slytherin, where as Rose was more of a Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. Rebecca was a master at pranking ideas and potions while Rose was better at Charms and planning, together they could take on the young Marauders. Although Rebecca had the Slytherin traits she was a lovely girl. Unlike her mother or father, or brother and sister, she had bright blond hair that came down her back to her hips in waves. Roses was the same but red. The girls got on well with each other and with Harry.

"Wheres Rebecca?" Harry asked Rose. "Oh, I don't know." Rose replied innocently, " she said she had to do something before we bake pancakes."
"Alright," Harry replied wearily, he knew he had to be cautious when it came to Rebecca as she could pull a prank at any moment.
"Aaahghh" he screamed when a potion landed on him.
"Oops," the twins said and walked of grinning and holding hands.
"I have evil sisters!" Harry thought as he changed out of his PJ's. He walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where the girls had the pancake ingredients out. They where starting to bake the pancakes and looked at Harry innocently when he came in.
"Hey Harry." They said simultaneously. Harry glared playfully at them, "i dont know what you did," he warned them, "but I'll get you back for it!"
The girls just giggled at him. James Potter came into the room with the Daily Prophet, "morning kids, how'd you slee- well Harry taken up a new hairstyle i see? Not like your old mans black did you?" He laughed. Harrys eyes widened as he races to the nearest bathroom. "ROSE PETUNIA AND REBECCA LILY POTTER! IM GOING TO KILL YOU!" The girls screamed and ran out of the back door of the kitchen as Harry ran in the front, his hair Slytherin green with silver spots.
"Where are they?" He screeched at his father. James laughed, "ahaha, Slytherin green, a hard one that is. Them girls work well together, Becks potion making and Roses' planning."
"Er.. Dad?!" Harry said waving his hands around, "I'm still here with green hair. And their hiding somewhere and you need to tell me where!"
James pretended to zip his mouth closed, "no-can-do son, temper like their mother they've got, and great pranking ideas too."
Harry grunted, "this meANS WAR!" He shouted.
"Oh goody.." One of the girls shouted.
"We where wondering,"
"When you would,"
"Say that." They finished together. Harry shuddered. He hated when they did that twin talk. If you closed your eyes you would swear it was one person talking.
He walked back up to his room to wrote to Orion and Teddy that they where at war - completely forgetting about his green hair. James Potter smiled as it kids, "I've raised them well," he thought, "better pranksters then we where" his smile turned into a frown when he saw the pancake ingredients, "aw, i was looking forward to them." He said, sipping his now-cold coffee. He placed a warming charm on it and went back to reading the paper.

--------------------------

Orion Black was eating breakfast when Harrys owl, Hedwig tapped at the window. Opening the letter he read,

To Orion and Teddy,

You better watch, we are at war with the young ones. The twins turned my hair green and silver! But not just any green but Slytherin green! So i declared war on them. I thought i should tell you both before Reg, Jacob and Alex find out. Watch your back and write back so we can plan a prank.

Harry.

Orion laughed. He scribbled a reply on the back. He better go get his pranking journal and start making ideas before his brother, Regulas, finds out from the twins, he thought. Regulas looked much more like their mum than their dad. While Orion had black, long hair, Reg had short brown hair. He handed the letter back to Hedwig who took off to Teddy's house, and ran up to his room.
"REGULAS!" He shouted to his younger brother.
"WHAT ORION?" Came the reply.
"WE'RE AT WAAAR!" He screamed. Regulas did a war cry, "BETTER WATCH OUT BIG BROTH, YOU DON'T KNOW WHATS COMING FOR YA!"
Regulas was a definite Gryffindoor.  He was very brave and often acted before he thought - much like Sirius.

---------------------------

Teddy was playing wizard chess with his brother Jacob, when Harry's owl appeared at the window.  Grabbing the letter he scanned it quickly before grinning evilly.
"What is it?" Jacob asked him.
"We. Are. AT. WAR!" He shouted jumping up and fist pumping the air, making his brother jump. Jacob jumped up after him,
"I need to write to Reg!" He ran out the room and bounded up the stairs.  Teddy followed him to his sisters room.
"Hey Alex," he said to her. Alexandra was 7, Jacob was 8 and Teddy was 10.  The siblings got on really well and where close.  Teddy was the Gryffindoor in the family while Jacob was a definite Hufflepuff.  All three had got their mothers metamophorgus abilities so the house was full of colour. Tonks was pink, Teddy was blue, Jacob, surprisingly, was black, but he said his was black because he would rather that than yellow - the colours of his hopeful house, and Alex's natural was a bright red, even brighter than Roses, but she usually changed colour everyday.  Alex was a Slytherin, the pranks her and the twins would pull where very cunning and well planned. Although there was a year between them, the twins Alex got on well.

"ALEX! WE'RE AT WAR!" He shouted to the young girl, who was deciding what hair colour would match her top best. She turned away from the mirror and grinned, "oh, your in for it big brother!" Then she raced into Jacobs room. Teddy grinned, he loved having pranking wars.
