Harry Potter: Shadows of Tomorrow

"Need I remind you" Harry interrupted "as my wife, anything concerning me concerns her and vice versa. But I do find it funny how you two have already come to the conclusion that he has when I never said he did"

"Dumbledore said he has" Hermione replied

"Was Dumbledore in the graveyard with Harry?" Ginny replied "honestly if Dumbledore told you that Draco Malfoy killed Voldermort would you believe it?"

"Ginny!" Ron shivered "don't say his name"

"I'm not worried" Ginny replied "if we ever saw him then Harry could deal with him"

"Like Harry could beat you-know-who" Ron snorted

"So Ron" Ginny smiled "you're saying Dumbledore's a liar? Because he was the one who told people that Harry beat him as a baby and he was the one who said Harry escaped the graveyard. If Harry couldn't beat him then you must be calling him a liar."

"No!" Ron shouted, looking like he said something blasphemous "I…just…"

"Talked without thinking?" Harry finished for him "you do a lot of that, it's a bit annoying really"

"Harry" Hermione spoke before Ron could start shouting "this is important. People need to know"

"Why?" Harry asked

"So they could prepare…"

"Prepare" Harry looked at her with amusement "you want me to go and tell everyone that a person who was so feared that people still refuse to say his name has returned so they could 'prepare' even though all they'd do is be afraid and panic or refuse to believe it. And you want me to do this all on the word of a school headmaster?"

"Guys" Ron looked at the twins "tell him"

"Don't bother Ron" Fred smiled

"Yeah" George nodded

"The only person"

"Who can make Harry do something"

"is Ginny"

"And if he doesn't want"

"To do it"

"Then she probably"

"Won't make him"

"Ginny" Ron turned to his sister "tell him to tell the truth" Everyone apart from Harry was surprised when Ginny started laughing "what's so funny?!"

"Just this idea that I control Harry" Ginny eventually stopped laughing "I don't control Harry"

"Me and Gin are equals in this relationship" Harry wrapped an arm around her shoulders "neither of us are better than the other"

"That's why I always found the idea of Harry being 'whipped' funny" Ginny leaned against Harry "we're equals, I don't tell Harry to do something that he wouldn't want to do."

"But you stopped him from killing Malfoy in third year" Hermione argued

"Stopped him?" Ginny looked at Hermione with an amused look "Hermione I just calmed him down enough to get him to think clearly, if he ever truly lost control then I wouldn't tell him to stop. I'd just a safe spot and stay out of the way and conduct damage control."

"Look Harry" Hermione gritted her teeth "just tell us what happened, you have nothing to gain from not telling the truth."

"Fine" Harry sighed "I'll tell you a little bit about what happened" Hermione looked on, eager for Harry to start

"Self-defence" Harry answered in a robotic voice "it was so fast, I don't even know what happened because I was hyped on adrenaline"

"Hey Harry" George spoke before Hermione could respond "have you read the newspaper as of late"

"Yes I have, why?"

"Do you know anything about this 'Curse' fellow?" Fred asked

"Far as I'm concerned I think the guys brilliant" Harry replied

"I agree" Ginny agreed "it's nice to finally have someone do something about death eaters"

"What do you mean finally?!" Hermione interrupted "Professor Dumbledore has always fought against death eaters"

"True" Harry admitted "but he's not very effective is he, stun them and lock them up and hope they can change. Why are the Lestranges even still alive? They've fully admitted to joining Voldermort and they've accepted their crimes with pride, any spell or potion that could've been used to force them to say they all of that stuff would have worn off by now but they're still alive hoping their master comes back.

Frankly Dumbledore may have good intentions but he's a little naïve and not exactly the right person to be leading the fight against death eaters"

"Bullshit!" Ron exclaimed "Dumbledore's twice the wizard you are, you'd never match up to him, you're just an attention seeking prat"

"Careful Ronald" Ginny crossed her arms "or we may just have to take away points from you"

"Points?"

"Yes Ronald" Ginny said smugly "me and Harry can do that seeing as we're prefects" Ginny pulled her badge out of her pocket and Harry did the same with his

"Oh come on" Ron growled "there's no way you two should be prefects, especially you Ginny, I mean who would chose you over Hermione?"

"Take it up with McGonagall" Harry replied "oh and Ron, five points for insulting a student" Ron scowled before walking off

"I can't believe it" George put his head in his hands

"Neither can I?" Fred did the same

"Our glorious leader"

"Head of our group"

"Our role model"

"is one of them"

"If by them you mean prefect then yes I am" Harry responded "now boys, I'm going to tell you all about marauder lesson number one" The twins stared at Harry with their full attention

"Excuse me" Ginny turned to Hermione "private conversation going on here"

"Why I can't I listen?"

"Because Harry has something to tell the twins and it's between them, now hurry up because we only have a minute or two before we have to go the prefect compartment" Hermione growled and left

"As I was saying" Harry spoke "the first and most important lesson is use everything to your advantage" The twins looked confused

"Guys" Ginny decided to help "being prefect's gives us a bit more work"

"But" Harry continued "it also gives us a few extra privileges"

"Such as the ability to take points from people"

"Including red headed prats"

"Book worms"

"Arrogant purebloods" The twins were starting to get interested so Harry and Ginny continued

"It also gives us the ability to stay up later than everyone"

"And while we could and are going to use that for a lot of things"

"I look forward to that"

"As do I, but one of the things we could use it for"

"Is to set up pranks"

"Besides who would suspect a couple of responsible prefects" The compartment was silent for a moment.

"That's bloody brilliant!" The twins exclaimed

"Of course it is" Harry chuckled "you ever notice how when a prank happens we let you two take the credit even if you didn't do it, you're the front of our group, me and Ginny are the silent pranksters. We're the ones that nobody can prove actually did the prank, in the original group my dad and Sirius had your job while Remus had ours"

"I'm curious" Fred replied "what did Pettigrew do?"

"According to Sirius and Remus he provided moral support, and laughed, but they never trusted him to do an actual prank after third year when he got caught trying to sneak coughing powder into McGonagall's cup. The worst part was he was supposed to put it in a Snapes cup"

"Alright Harry" Ginny stood up "we got to go to the meeting, you two hold our compartment till we get back"
