"Miss. Figg?"

"Hello Harry" said the old woman sitting at a chair in front of Professor Dumbledore's table, a million thoughts were racing in his head, but as soon as the headmaster started speaking he snapped out of his trance

"Harry, I believe you know Arabella Figg, she was your secret-keeper at the Dursley's…She went to school with your mother I believe she was Lily's best friend if I'm not mistaken"

As he said that Harry noticed that where the old lady once stood there was now a beautiful woman that couldn't be more than 35 year's old with black hair and eyes, and at Dumbledore's affirmation she nodded.

"The reason that I called you here today is to explain to you why you need to return every year to your relatives home…I believe that your old enough to understand this now…the reason is that since they are your only living blood relatives…certain protections that were taken when you were a young child, protections that are based on very ancient magic and as most of the arts from that period, they need to be renewed and since they are based on your blood it's necessary that you be exposed to these spells at for least a month every year this year, but since Voldermort has acquired the protection that your mother left in you it was necessary to renew these spells and cast new ones, that was why you were not allowed to visit the Wealeys this summer. Now do you understand what I just said?" Harry nodded

"But alas, as long as you are in Hogwarts grounds you are protected and do not let this nor Voldermort get in the way of your life, And try to not get in to much trouble this year." The older wizard finished, and winked at him.

"And don't forget if you have any dreams or if our scar hurts come to me immediately!"

"Don't worry sir I will." And with that Harry left the Headmaster office feeling very confused.

Upon reaching the fat lady and giving the password ("lion's mane") he was greeted by the sight of his friends sitting in the common room half awake half sleeping. Waking them up, he got the invisibility cloak and met them down stairs.

"Do you think we'll all fit in there now?" Ron asked dubiously eyeing the cloak.

"We could always do an engorgement charm," Hermione stated.

"And what a about a silencing spell so none will hear us?" Harry said.

" Ok, let's do it then" Kaya said.

Engorgio!

Silencio!

Once Hermione finished the spells (they didn't want to risk anyone getting them wrong) they climbed out of the common room and entered the great hall.

"Everyone ready? And remember The Hufflepuffe table will be left intact!" Harry ordered.

"Now let's begin!" As son as Ron finished they began cursing and painting the walls, chairs everything, planting fireworks at the head table, under certain chairs, etc.

"Now the timer spell!" And with that the four of them went to the center of the Hall and began whispering the words to a spell that would time all the curses and fireworks to explode at the same time tomorrow, while for now the Great Hall looked completely normal.

"Ok Now that phase 1 is finished, it's time to start phase 2, Kaya you have the potions, right?" Harry said.

Kaya nodded and said," Of course, these potions I always carry!"

"Now of to the kitchens"

Heading to the painting and tickling the pear they entered the sacred helm of the kitchens and were immediately surrounded by a group of anxious house elves eager to work, after saying hello to Dobby and Winky (who was doing much better now, proudly wearing a pillow case) and learning the names of some new house elves, they stated their case to an old elf who appeared to be the head elf.

"You see, we need to get these potions on the food to tables, except the Huffle-puff and Gyffindor's table. So could you help us? Oh and if anyone asks you can say that we were the ones who did it!" as Harry finished the elf shook her head in a disapproving manner before motioning to a younger lf that they learned was called Tizzy to do what they told, while murmuring a phrase that Harry had come to know very well.

"So much like his father." And sighting loudly the elf turned and resumed her chores.

They returned to their dorms and fell asleep the moment that their heads touched the pillow in anticipation to the next morning to see the result of their ''little'' prank.

The next morning hey all woke up early an headed to the Great Hall, smiling at seemly nothing, as they started to eat breakfast they were joined by Fred and George, who seeing their smiling faces decided to join them and wait to see what was going on. Noticing a strange girl next to Hermione, who looked like she could be her sister, they decided to introduce themselves.

"Hello, I'm Fred and this is George, and you are?"

"My…my I was forgotten already…and I thought I had made an entrance yesterday…" Kaya said sighing exaggeratedly. While the other three laughed at the twins confused faces before George spoke

"Oh you are the transfer student…didn't recognize you without the yellow eyes and the pink hair." Fred was going to say something but Ron whispered, "Shut up…its time!" while motioning to the packed Hall and beginning to grin Hermione began a count down while the Twins looked on curious at what might be happening "5…4…3…2…1…Now"

the instant she finished a foul smell filled the air, the Slyterin and Ravenclaws were suddenly hopping around the hall, some singing, some dancing, some were covered with dung bombs, while those who had already began eating were transfigured in to animals, chairs at the head table were floating ( Snape's was covered in dung bombs and fireworks), the Hufflepuffs watched in fascination as the other tablecloths from the Ravenclaws started to glow and change colors at an amazing speed and the Slytherin's colors were changed to the Gryffindor colors and the banner of the Snake turned to a Lion. Then suddenly a loud music started to come from the center of the ceiling and when everyone looked up they saw a enormous sign lit up "THE MARAUDERS STRICKE BACK!" there was a loud "thud" as Professor McGonagall fainted. At this point the neo-marauders plus the twins were on the floor with tears of laughter in their eyes.

Professor Dumbledore smiling waved his wand and immediately everything was back to normal except the students that had eaten and were now hopping, he kindly directed them to the hospital wing and approached the Gryffindor table, in which all the students were staying away from the food and were laughing while rolling in the floor. He went straight to end of the table where a group of people was laughing so hard you would think that they were under a spell, most people though that he was approaching the Weasley twins who were after all the school's biggest pranksters and being on their last year would most likely want to start the year with a bang, therefore they were surprised when he passed the twins and approached the twins' younger brother and his friends, that while weren't know to being angels weren't pranksters either (or so they thought),

"Would any of you care to explain to me what happed ?" the professor asked with a twinkle in his eyes "Well sir it would appear that someone used a combination of a timing charm, some coloring spells, and a few potions…not counting the fireworks and the dungbombs, sir" Hermione answered while the four responsible tried to look innocent, and almost succeed, but they began to laugh as Draco Malfoy hopped by singing opera. "Well then would the four of you report for detention, tonight at 8 o'clock in the trophy room. And five points from Griffyndor" And with that he turned and left.

Meanwhile most of the students were gaping at the four who strangely enough seemed happy about getting a detention on the first day, well Mione didn't seem that pleased.

Everyone knows the Gryffindors love parties…so when Alicia Spinnet the new head girl received a suggestion for a party in the common room that Friday to celebrate the first prank of the year (suggested by the twins) she agreed, and so a party in the common room was announced. And so for the first time in 20 years, in the history of magic classroom the students were not sleeping as usual but were rather discussing a prank, and a party.

However in the potions class, the mood was far different, for even the Slytherins first years were subjected to the furry of the potions master, in that lesson Griffyndor lost 115 points, and 3 students were sent to the infirmary after several accidents caused by quivering hands manipulating dangerous potions ingredients…

AN.: I know this is short and most people have forgotten about this fic, but after I received a rather mean flame I took a long break of The fandom, now that I have returned, I have different views on Slytherin, Draco and Harry Potter, so you can probably expect some sort of revenge from the Slys.

And if this has romance it will be R/Hr, H/B (from S)or H/C , D/P, and kaya I don't know if she'll have a romance at Hogwarts or a long distance B-friend back at her home.

What made me write this today was that I was so happy to be in someone's fav list.. and when I went to check it out it was one of mine favorite SM/GW authors Emerald of Timeless Death…

Pleaseeee update your fic "A NEW LIFE"!
