Dark Marauder by BajaB - T
Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: Gen
Length: 13,575
Author on LJ: none
Author Website: BajaB's FFN profile
Why this must be read: BajaB always writes interesting fics that look at Harry Potter in a manner that is just left or right of the norm. Dark Marauder is no different in this and the result is something that explores what would happen if James hadn't died when Voldemort attacked the Potters but not in familiar way. BajaB has taken the Marauders as they appear in Snape's memories and posits what they would do if James survived and they acted as their natures dictated they do? They are Dark and they are looking for revenge...
"James?" asked Sirius.
James Potter looked up from the dead face of his wife. The tracks of tears ran down his soot and blood covered face.
"He killed her. He came here and killed her. He knocked me out, when I tried to hold him off, and then came up here to kill Harry, but she tried to stop him, so he killed her."
Sirius felt a lump form in his throat and his mouth went even drier, as he lowered his wand and swore.
"Voldemort? Here? What happened? Where did he go?"
James's sorrow filled face took on a new look; a fierce pride.
"She did something, a spell she was working on. She gave her life to make it work, so when he tried to kill Harry, he died instead."
Sirius looked around the room and spied the collapsed cloak that he presumed contained the remains of Voldemort. A wellspring of grief threatened to overwhelm him at the thought of Lily Potter's death, but he fought it down, burying it deep inside his secret place while allowing the rage to burn in satisfaction.
Harry's crying suddenly seemed louder, but neither man paid it any attention.
"What do we do now?" he asked James.
James slowly lowered his wife to the floor, then bent over and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, before standing up and facing his best friend.
"Voldemort is gone, but the others are still out there. They took the sunshine from my life, Sirius. I want to return the favour.
"We kill them. We kill them all."
Dark Marauder can be found here. And after you read that, why not give some of BajaB's other works a try?
