I desperately need someone to write this AU.
I want Hogwarts itself to break.
Some ancient, unexplained piece of castle magic goes catastrophically wrong, causing Hogwarts from the Marauders' era and Hogwarts from Harry's era to merge into one castle.
Every House now has two sets of students.
Separate dormitories somehow appear to make room for everyone, but the common rooms, classrooms, Great Hall, library, Quidditch pitch, and corridors are shared.
Everyone still has classes.Everyone still earns House Points.
Everyone still has exams.
They're just doing it alongside students from twenty years in the past.
And I don't want the story to focus on changing the future.
I want it to focus on the interactions.
James tells Harry the story of how he, Sirius, Remus, and Peter all became friends on the Hogwarts Express.
Curious, he asks Harry how he, Ron, and Hermione met.
"Well... first there was a troll.
"He casually tells them how Hermione ended up in the girls' bathroom, how he and Ron went after her, and how fighting a mountain troll is what truly made them friends.
Later, the conversation turns to Hagrid and his unfortunate habit of adopting ridiculously dangerous creatures.
Harry starts telling the story of Norbert.
How Hagrid somehow ended up with a dragon egg.
How they secretly raised a baby dragon inside a wooden hut.
How they smuggled Norbert out of Hogwarts in the middle of the night.
How they were caught after running into Fluffy.
James is grinning by the end of it.
"Yeah. First year was pretty intense."
"That was only your first year?"
James: "Once we stole Filch's entire stash of Firewhisky."
Sirius: "He looked for it for weeks."
The Marauders burst into laughter.
"We stole a dragon from Gringotts."
I want Fred and George meeting the Marauders.
Hermione and Lily becoming friends.
McGonagall having to teach two generations at once.
Teenage Snape meeting Professor Snape.
The Marauders trying to prove they're the kings of Hogwarts chaos......
and gradually realizing Harry's generation somehow lived through things that sound completely made up.
Please.I need to read this story.
