Teddy and Neville were still happily reading reding in the library, not knowing anything of the terrible pickle Harry and Orion had got themselves into.  By now they had finished the book on animagi and had started to research were they could get leaves of mandrakes.
Meanwhile in the Honeydukes cellar, Harry and Orion were still frozen, right underneath the trapdoor, their parents standing right above them.

"What do we do?!" Harry whispered loudly to Orion. He was nearly in hysterics. "If my mum catches us Or, we'll be as good as dead! She'll probably pull us out of school! That's if Snape doesn't expel is first! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my go-"
"HARRY SHUT UP!" Orion whispered shouted at his friend. "You screaming is more likely to get us caught then us standing here. Be quiet, it's unlikely they'll come down."

They stood there, frozen, waiting to see if they were going to get caught. Harry looked up suddenly, "the cloak!" He exclaimed, "they won't see us under the cloak! Quick under!"
They scrambled to get each other covered underneath the cloak, and in the nick of time too,  the trapdoor had been opened with a flourish by James who said, "and this, my dear-Lilyflower, is the reason we were so successful."
Harry and Orion held their breath, waiting, waiting for the adults to leave. But, it seems they had no intentions to.
"Thats... actually quite cool." Lily replied hesitantly before she rounded on the older Marauders, "as long as you didn't show the boys, you know they get into as much trouble as you did, if not more."
James, Sirius and Remus gave up trying to act innocent because they deefinitely didn't tell the boys, and they didn't know whether to be insulted or not.
"Excuse you me missus, we our the pranking KINGS, not only of our generation but of ALL generations, and it would be good of you to remember that!" Sirius ranted to Lily.
She replied by laughing.
"James!" Sirius exclaimed, "control your wife!" He actually looked serious.
This just set Lily off into more laughter.  "Oh shuT UP Sirius!" Marlene laughed from beside Lily, "we get it, your the pranking kings of every generation and all that!"
Sirius huffed in defiance and turned to walk back up the stairs.

Harry and Orion sighed in relief, they were leaving, and hadn't caught them.. yet.  That relief was short lived as they heard a bang from upstairs and a muffled curse.  "Im SORRY, oops terribly sorry, didn't see that crate there... that humungous crate right in my path." Then a sheepish laugh.
"Oh my gosh Tonks, what have you done now?!" Marlene laughed as she followed Sirius who had started back up the stairs. Lily and James gabe each other an amused glance and followed.

The boys would both then swear that Remus John Lupin did something that completely changed their way of thinking towards him. Remus John Lupin did the most un-Remus John Lupin one can imagine.  He dropped the bag he was holding on the floor, moved the trapdoor back to it's original position and, both boys would swear they saw him, wink at the boys just as the door closed.

"Did he just.." Harry breathed.
"I..I think he just did.." Orion replied.
"I must say, I'm gobsmacked."
"Agreed."
They both turned to each other and whooped.
"He saw us, didn't turn us in AND left a bag for us!" Harry laughed, shocked.
"And not only that but it was bloomin' awesome!" Orion whooped.

They scrambled back out of the trapdoor to get the bag and ran all the way back to the castle, completely forgetting that what they need probably won't be in the bag.
They reached the castle in record time and ran back to the Gryffindor common room. They searches frantically for Teddy and Neville. No sign.
"Ugh, were will they be?" Orion groaned. 
"I have no idea.. probably the library?" Harry shrugged.
Orion turned round to him in shock, "listen mate, has something gone to yur head? Coz Teddy Lupin won't be in the library unless it's to jeep up his reputation of being Remus Lupin no.2... aaah that's exactly why he's not here!" A look of realisation dawned on his face.  "What are we waiting for then?"

As the two made to go back out the portrait, they heard the last voice the wanted to hear, or at least the third or fourth last at least,  one Hermione know-it-all Granger. "Weren't you two having a lie-in?" She asked, "How on earth did you manage to come back through the portrait when you 'haven't' been out yet." She looked at them in 'that way' "bit suspicious to me.."
Harry and Orion stiffened. "Er...  you must not of seen us go out then Granger... bye!" Harry made a hasty retreat, Orion right as his heels.
"Hm.. suspicious," Granger mumbled to herself as they ran away.

Harry and Orion ran the whole way down to the library.
"Teddy! Neville!" they shouted as they entered the library.  One look from the librarian put a stop to that.
"Teddy!" Orion whispered-shouted as they rounded another corner, "oh for Merlins sake were ar- oh hi Ted, Nev"
Teddy and Neville looked up at him and snickered, "not funny," he grumbled.
Harry plonked the bag on the table. "Your dad left this Moons, we think it was on purpose."
Teddy and Neville looked at him with wide eyes, "really?" Teddy asked, "are you sure?"
Harry nodded as he opened the bag and the other three boys leaned in to get a look.
