HARRY AND MAGNOLIA WERE IN THE LIBRARY, Mags was urgently skimming books while Harry carried all her books as he barely looked around. He wasn't much of a reader, he only read if he had to like... life or death. Sometimes he'll read for fun but he doesn't like to be forced. While Harry was in his own world, she was trying to think of every possible thing that could happen in the future if they tried speaking and changing it.

They were skipping their last class to do this, all day ignoring and avoiding the marauders and it was working out. They decided just to do that till they figured out a good way to change the future.

And that's what they were doing in the library.

"Okay. I need one more book-"

"Don't you think this is enough?!" Harry whispers shouts, directing towards all the books that sat on the table in front of him. She looked between him and the pile of books with pursed lips before shaking her head.

"No, not at all." She whispers, biting her bottom lip to hide her excited smile before rushing off to get one more book.

"Merlin, you're the death of me Lupin-"

"Lupin aye? Thought her surname was Taurus?"

~~~

"Blah blah blah-" She mutters, flipping through the pages of books in boredom. Not finding anything that would help her more. "I've read this one before"

"Sorry to bud in, but that was your fifth time saying that" She furrows her eyebrows, turning around to meet a younger black-haired and grey-eyed guy. He looks almost exactly like Sirius...

"Regulus?" He looks at me with a surprised smile and nods.

"Yeah, Regulus Black, nice to meet you - I'm afraid I don't know your name." She shakes his friends politely, her eyes slightly wide. She didn't know a lot about Regulus.

She knew he was Sirius's brother and a death eater... But went against it by trying to destroy the locket Horcrux and drowned by doing so at the age of 18. But before because of Sirius being the blood traitor, Regulus became the golden child of the Black's until he died.

"Um nice to meet you, I'm Maggie Taurus. I just transferred."

"That's cool, what school did you transfer from?" Magnolia nervously smiled and chuckled a little.

"Ilvermorny..." He grins and she smiles in relief.

"Nice to meet you, Maggie. Hope to see you around" He begins to walk away before her mind sort of shifts.

"Wait!" He stops as she mentally curses herself but smiles nevertheless.

"If you want, maybe we can chat for a little... And you could teach me all the secrets of Hogwarts" She already knows every nook and cranny of this castle.

He stares at her a little confused before smiling, with a small nod.

"Yeah, sure."

~~~

"What?" Harry mutters nervously, a small chuckle leaving his lips as the marauders decide to sit in the seats at the table, surrounding Harry.

"Stop lying to us, Potter." James empathizes, eyeing Harry suspiciously as he eyed the others.

"Sorry, I'm Granger. Not Potter" Harry was trying so hard to keep his cool but it was hard when they were practically interrogating him.

"Then explain why we saw you and 'Taurus' with Minnie, changing your last names to Taurus and Granger from Lupin and Potter, huh?" Remus was rubbing his eyes frustratedly, clearly annoyed with his best mate's dramatic tactics.

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"STOP LYING-"

"SHH!" The librarian exclaims, making the boys shrink back in their seats.

"Listen. We won't tell anyone, we just want to know why you guys got the same last names as our friends here and hiding it"

"I don't think it's any of your business" Harry sassed, making Sirius's smirk drop a little.

"B-But-" Harry smirked proudly to himself at the way he made his future godfather grow flustered in confusion.

"Listen, me and James aren't related at all, it's just a coincidence we look alike-"

"You guys could be twins-" Sirius and Harry both glared at Peter to shut up as he quickly did so.

"And the same last names!"

"I swear me and James aren't related at all." Harry proclaims as Remus grows interested now.

"But why did you change your last name? And Maggie?"

"It's a coincidence she has the same last name as you, nothing special-"

"But why did you guys change your last names in the first place?!" James urged, too eager to be patient and get the answer.

"That's confidential"

"UGH!"

"Harry, meet Regulus Black, he..." Her voice trails off, seeing the marauders surrounding Harry at the table.

Seeing them, Regulus scoffed as Sirius looked at him questioningly. But he did have a little hope, that he might have come to talk to his older brother. But that was a low chance.

Though of course, as he concluded, that wasn't the case.

"You hang out with these guys?" Regulus scoffs, holding his books as he leaves the library making Maggie let out a loud groan.

"Harry!" She groans before walking to catch up with Regulus.

"Regulus! Regulus!" She exclaims, making him suddenly stop and roll his eyes.

"Look, you're a cool guy. I haven't been hanging out with those guys, they're just stupid and curious for the two new people here in Hogwarts" She explains, desperate to know more about the man her Uncle Padfoot talked so fondly of but he shakes his head.

"I just don't like being around my brother right now, you wouldn't understand..." She took a few steps towards him as he looked down.

"Why? What's wrong with you guys?" She asks in a whisper as he sighs, looking back at her.

"Look you're new, in a matter of time, you'll find out my family's toxic feud between me and my brother. But to cut to the chase, he doesn't love me, he left me to fend for myself in a shitty home." He grumbles, sending a glare to anyone around the two but she doesn't care about them. She quickly shook her head, a spark of hope pulsing through her as he opened up the slightest bit.

"I highly doubt that, I'm sure he loves you," She says with a soft scoff and he rolls his eyes.

"Not in my family... We feed off status and power... I understand why he left but. It's just he left his little brother behind" Magnolia never wanted to know the several kids' lives being raised of blood purity and obsession with power and control. It was scary, especially when you want nothing to do with it.

"I'm sure Sirius still cares about you-"

"My brother doesn't care about me - He left me with them!" His yelling made her flinch and he grimaced in regret. She stared at him with wide eyes but crouched down a little to catch his eyes and force him to sit up, looking back at her straight forward.

"I'm sorry... Things have just been hard" She nods in understanding before getting closer and giving him a hug. At first, he doesn't hug and looks at her in confusion before slowly wrapping his arms around her before growing tighter. Magnolia smiled, knowing he most likely needed that outburst.

"You're no doubt an interesting one, Taurus... But I like you" He laughs, making her smile and shrugs.

"I think we're gonna be good friends, Reg. Don't let your family problems get in the way of friendships" He looks at her with a genuine smile and nods.

"Talk to you later, Taurus," He says, giving her a small wave before walking away in the opposite direction to most likely the Slytherin common room.

"Maybe this won't be as hard as I thought..."

"MRS. LUPIN!!!" A womanly high-pitched voice yelled, making her quickly turn around. She looked over to see Harry with a bunch of books in his hands, beside the marauders.

Sirius crazily waved at her beside a smirking James, shrugging Remus and a confused Peter. Magnolia cringed at Harry's 'I'm sorry' face and groaned.

"Great."

~~~

"So... Why can't you tell us why you guys are keeping your identities a secret?" Peter asks, walking beside the marauders with Magnolia and Harry.

Magnolia was annoyed and wanted nothing more than to be left alone so she could read her books. She looked at Harry worriedly as he carried her cooks with both arms.

"Harry, do you need help-" She reaches out with one hand, wanting to help him and hold some books. But Harry quickly switched all the books to one arm so he could hold on to her outstretched hand that was supposed to help him with the book.

"That's now what I-" He gave her a smirk and she rolled her eyes at his smugness.

"Okay," She mutters, as the marauders stop to look at their interlocked hands.

"Told ya" Remus mutters with a smirk before walking beside them as Sirius and James stare in shock.

"Dammit!" Sirius exclaims, grumpily walking behind the couple.

"Hey Lupin-" Both Maggie and Remus's heads turn at the same exact time.

"What?" They say in unison as everyone looks at them with a laugh. They look at each other as he chuckles and she looks away nervously.

"Sorry, Mrs. Lupin-"

"Sirius, you can't be calling me that. It's Mrs. Taurus to you."

"But it's your real name!" He exclaims as they all enter the Gryffindor common room.

"Do you not understand the concept of undercover!" She shouts, making him groan.

"But as I was saying - why didn't you come to the quidditch game yesterday?" Magnolia and Harry totally forgot about the game they were planning to go to...

But they got pretty distracted from other things...

"I forgot sorry-"

"Who's your guy's dorm mates?" Remus asks in curiosity as they all begin walking up the men's dorm stairs.

"Harry-" Maggie said.

"Mags-" Harry says, making them all furrow their eyebrows.

"You guys share a room?" James asks as the couple nods.

"Undercover shit... I like it" Sirius mutters with a smirk as Magnolia holds the door open for Harry to walk in. She then leaves it cracked, only showing her head to the marauders that stood outside her room.

"Please, don't say anything about this to others. Nobody was supposed to find out"

"Don't worry, Taurus. I'll make sure these twats don't say anything" Remus says with a small smile, making her suddenly grin.

"Thank you, Remus. See you guys later" She closes the door, taking a deep breath as it finally closes.

"I still want to figure out if she's a werewolf or not-" Sirius remarks, making the others groan.

"Hey! Give me this at least! I just found out Harry is her boyfriend! I'm really depressed right now!" He pouts dramatically.

"Oh shut up Sirius, you barely knew her."

"I don't know what it is Prongs, but I just know I'm somehow connected or attracted to her..."

~magnolias perspective.~

"So you met Sirius's younger brother, Regulus?" I nod as he walks in circles in our room, while I read the books we got from the library.

"He's very nice, he's not as outgoing as Sirius though but he might be when he's comfortable with you, I don't know," I say with a shrug. We only knew so little of Regulus, since only Kreacher had told them things of the boy and how he tried helping Reg with the Horcrux and Sirius talked only slightly about him, mostly nice things and not the bad things. But then it suddenly hit me.

"THE HORCRUXES!" I exclaim, making Harry dramatically jump in fright.

"Huh?"

"Love, the Horcruxes! Of course, if we explain it all to Dumbledore - then this could be all solved so that they can defeat Voldemort before all of this!" Harry's eyes slowly widened and a grin was played on his face.

"If they find all seven of them, destroy them. He's just a defenseless mortal, and easily defeated - Dumbledore's the most powerful wizard it'll be easy! I find it won't be difficult for him to Avada Kedavra his noseless ass!"

"YEAH!" Harry shouts happily, jumping on the bed with me and wrapping his arms around me.

"This could work."

"We could have our family back," I whisper with a small smile and excitement as he starts jumping up and down.

"WAHOO!"

"HARRY!" I giggle as we fall on the bed, with him on top of me and I let out hysterical laughs.

"Oh, this is bloody amazing!"

"We need to tell Dumbledore right away before we leave!" Harry quickly nods, getting off of me and pulling me up.

"Oh Merlin, my love, you're bloody brilliant!" Harry expresses before cupping my face and pressing his lips hard on mine.

He presses himself against me as I wrap my arms around his neck. He dropped his hands down from my face and placed them on my waist. He squeezed my waist as his tongue swept across my lips, making me let out a little giggle.

"H-Harry, we have to go-" I try to let out as he bites my bottom lip, my head slowly falling back in bliss.

"A few more minutes" He whispers as his hand travels up my thigh, my skirt riding up alongside his hand.

His lips travel down my neck as I move it to the side for more access for him and slowly I begin falling on my back on the bed. I felt aroused and pulsed in my lower section as he hovered over me, letting his lips travel farther down me. His hands travel to my blouse, unbuttoning the buttons quickly as I do the same to his button-up.

"I love it when you talk smart-"

"Housekeeping!" A high-pitched woman's voice was heard, following along with a knock. Harry groans out loudly, digging his face in between my breasts. I furrow my eyebrows, hearing the voices from outside our door.

"KNOCK KNOCK LOVEBIRDS!"

"That was your father-" I whisper with a small laugh as he rolls his eyes before getting up and dragging his feet to the door.

"Yes?" Harry asks, opening the door slightly for them to only see half his body since his shirt attire was sloppy.

"We want Maggie," Lily says standing beside a blonde girl he doesn't recognize and Sirius and James.

"Why..." Harry asks as I peek through recognizing the blonde to be Marlene Mckinnon from old pictures Remus had in his study back when she was a little girl.

"We're having a girl's sleepover, and we want her to come and meet a few others," Marlene says, crossing her arms over her chest. Then, Harry's eyes shifted to the two boys with a raised eyebrow.

I got beside Harry, ducking under his arm making the girls smile.

"Hey, I'm Marlene Mckinnon. Me and Lily are doing a girl's sleepover in our dorm-"

"And it's okay if you don't want to go because you're new and all"

"Pish posh! She has to go! We're making Mr. Granger over here come to our little party" Harry chuckles, shaking his head.

"I don't know if-"

"Please! It's the weekend, and I'd love to get to know you, Lily has spoken so fondly of you!" Marlene pleads, making Lily chuckle. Harry looks at me with a small smirk, like he was expecting me to, of course, say no. But I shrug with a small smile.

"Why not?" Harry's expression quickly drops, his mouth slightly hanging, clearly not expecting that answer from me.

"Our dorm is down the hall, we'll be waiting for you-"

"Just meet us in the common room," James tells Harry as Sirius tries to peek in our room.

Harry was squeezing my waist hard, making me furrow my eyebrows and look up at him. But he didn't look back at me as he just positioned me right directly in front of him - pressing his hard-on against my butt.

"O-Oh um- just give us thirty minutes," I say with a stutter, a polite smile on my face.

"Your guy's room looks bloody huge..." Sirius mutters as I think Lily gets the idea of what is happening, seeing our fake big smiles trying to usher them away. She noticed the right grip Harry had on my waist and her mouth forming into an 'o' shape.

"Come on guys, they have to grab their belongings" I look at her as she smirks with a small nod.

"But-"

"Come on, Sirius" She scowls as I quickly push Harry into our room, slamming the door behind me.

"Seriously?! I wanted to spend the night with you!" He pouts as raises an eyebrow at him and starts taking steps forward towards him. Unknowingly to him, he complains while he steps backward at every step forward I take, making him finally hit the bed and fall, now sitting down on the edge and resting his hand behind him to sit up.

"I can see that... You seemed pretty excited about it too," I remark with a laugh, my eyes glancing at his bulge and he smirks.

"So are you gonna help me or what?" He asks, raising his eyebrow suggestively as I shrug, moving my hands down his chest before undoing the last few buttons on his shirt, making him let out a whiny moan.

"I don't know..." I slowly got on my knees in front of him, sliding my hands up his thighs making his breath hitch and prevent himself from letting out another moan.

"Should I?"

authors note !!!

marauders are getting closer than they realize by being very nosey... like usual but let's hope someone doesn't slip up at the sleepover next chapter...
