Yay! here am I, trying to write something, hehe

Go ahead, and enter this fantastic and a bit (only a bit!) weird fanfic!! Yes, FANFIC!! and here, between us, if I owned anything from the Harry Potter world would I be here, writing a Fanfic?!?! NOOOO!

This is kind of AU, but don't expect to see Sirius with underwear chasing a flying worm that can terrify Voldemort to the point were the Dark Lord would start to run in circles, screaming like a little girl, and then, dizzy, would fall in the lake and be eaten by rebelled GREEN hyper-puffskeins with lack of attention. No, the farthest it goes is to Sirius wearing only his underwear (because I wanted it to be) and Voldemort ruling the Wizarding World without Harry and a prophecy to stop him. The Marauders and co. will have to do everything without the-boy-who-lived (I like the trio, but I wanted to do something different... and at the Marauders' time, because I like them more!!)

of course, thanks to my beta/friend Moonsign - she made all my mistakes go away

sooo, here it goes!

Chapter 1

"How do you do that?!" Sirius Black asked, as soon as he put his feet inside the cabin where a startled Remus Lupin looked back.

"What?!" James Potter asked truly amazed, entering too. "He's already here? That's impossible, we're probably the first ones here!"

"Actually," Remus spoke softly "Lily and her friends are here too, and a lot of Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs too…"

Sirius and James just stared back. Then, Sirius shouted:

"Well, hi Remus! How are you? It's been a long time now since we last met!"

Remus had visibly backed away at the sudden outburst, blocking his ears with his hands. "Oh, sorry Remus! I forgot about your super-hearing!" Sirius snickered.

"When is the next full moon?" James asked, letting some concern appear in his tone.

"Three days." Remus turned, placing his hands in his lap.

"Hey!" Sirius smiled "We'll be able to go with you! Peter managed to transform at James's house!" Remus looked down. "What's wrong?"

"... I'm not sure..." the small werewolf turned. The other two waited for an explanation, but none come.

"You can tell us, Rem." James assured, smiling.

"This is dangerous!" Remus blurted after a few seconds "Even if you stay in your animal forms, the wolf might not like you! What if it realizes that you aren't animals? What if it can smell that you guys are really human?"

"Wow, slow down buddy!" Sirius stopped him "We already talked about that! You know that none of this will happen!"

"No, I don't!" Remus turned, then continued, in a small voice "Look, I... I wanted to think about it. I want to be a hundred percent certain because I couldn't stand it if I hurt you."

Sirius was about to argue, but James stopped him:

"Ok Remus." He said, still smiling "you have the right to think first." Remus smiled too, and was about to thank him when the door of their cabin was pulled open.

"Hey everyone!" Peter Pettigrew greeted, getting in and closing the door behind him.

"Hi Peter!" Remus went closer to the window, giving the fourth Marauder space to sit.

"How long, huh?!" Sirius laughed. "We haven't seen each other for..." pause for clock check "15 hours!" Peter and James laughed too.

"Why you didn't come to James's house too?" Peter asked Remus.

"My parents and I went to France" Remus's smile grew wider.

"That's cool!" James said.

"And" Remus continued "I brought you guys something."

"Yippee! Gifts!" Sirius beamed, and Remus opened his trunk, taking out a medium sized package.

"What is it?!" Peter asked, curious "it smells good!" Remus chuckled and opened the package. "Candies!" Peter cried, jumping up and down.

"They're French candies, not just candies!" Sirius retorted, almost jumping too.

"Go ahead, tuck in!" Remus offered.

"What are those?" Sirius asked, after eating half the content of a ramekin.

"Those are Crème brûlée, they're made of cream" Remus smiled, seeing their reactions. James was on his third Calisson and Peter and Sirius were beginning to slow down by the time the door was opened.

"Hello Lily, missed me honey?" James asked grinning as soon as he noticed that it was she entering.

"Hey Remus!" Lily greeted happily, ignoring James completely.

"Hey Lily!" Remus returned the smile "learned to speak French?"

"Yeah, a bit, my official translator left me all alone!" She said, trying to sound betrayed. "But still I couldn't imagine what the people around me were saying! Probably stating my ignorance..."

"Probably!" Remus laughed. Sirius, James and Peter were just staring at Remus and Lily in disbelief. "But seriously now, everything went ok there with your parents?"

"Sure, it was more confusing than the Diagon Alley, as you said, but we managed... Petunia was hysterical by the time we went out though. She's not fond of the magical world, as you may have noticed."

"Yeah, I noticed..." Remus turned sympathetically.

"Well, sorry, I have to go, Alice and Frank are waiting for me... bye!" She flashed a smile and left.

Remus looked back to his friends, and was scared by their expressions. James looked betrayed, Peter confused, and Sirius horrified.

"What was that?!" The last one asked.

"What?" Remus turned, confused.

"That!" Sirius was exasperated. "You and her, the reason for almost all of our detentions, talking animatedly about your vacations together!" Remus was at a loss.

"You know that I love her, and you've done this to me?" James was dramatic.

"I've done nothing!" Remus stopped them. "What are you talking about?!"

"Don't play with us!" Sirius said "We know everything!"

Silence.

"Ok, maybe not everything, but I know when romance is happening, and I could see it clearly!" Sirius corrected himself. Remus smiled in disbelief.

"Romance? Come on Sirius, I think you're blind and deaf! I went to France with my parents, and Lily was there too with her family. We were at the same hotel, coincidentally, so we enjoyed our vacations together! As friends do, not as couples" he explained, exasperated too. "She's really nice by the way, and your detentions are due to your incapacity to be discrete!"

"Hey!" Peter said, pretending to be offended.

"It's true!" Remus turned.

"Unfortunately, I have to agree." James stated. "So, nothing is happening between you and her?" He asked, hopeful.

"Of course not!" Remus smiled. James smiled too:

"And she said something about me?"

"Actually, yes, she talked about you." James eyes were shining now "She said that you were nice looking..."

"Yes!" James shouted.

"... and that you needed to... hmm... improve your behaviour..."

"How?!" James was still kind of hysterical.

"Er..." Remus was clearly uncomfortable "She said that you were a bit... how can I say this... a bit of a show-off."

"..." James said nothing for some time. Then "Well, I'll stop being a show-off then!" Sirius laughed "What?!"

"You, James Potter, will stop being a show-off?! For a girl?! That's going to the pages of History!"

"At least it will be more funny than the Goblin's War" Peter joined the fun.

"For sure!" Remus smiled, trying to hold the laugh.

"Hey! Do you doubt my determination?" James said in fake indignation "because I'm really hardworking and determined!"

"Sure, Jamesie, sure..." Sirius said, still laughing. James and Sirius would have continued the 'fight' the entire trip, it wasn't for the candy's trolley.

"But you all have already eaten all the ones I brought!" Remus pointed out, watching the amounts of sweeties his friends were purchasing.

"There's never 'too many candies'." Sirius explained, taking a huge amount of gold from his pocket. Remus wouldn't dream of using that much money just buying candy.

It took some time for another subject pop out of nowhere and break the silence.

"Hey, have you heard about that attack?" James asked, more serious than usual.

"In that muggle village?" Peter asked. James confirmed "Yeah... There were 20 deaths, right?"

"France's newspapers said that it wasn't an isolated case, that many attacks have been occurring, smaller, of course, but that the Ministry of Magic from here was hiding it..." Remus told them. "I was hoping that it would end soon. It's quite alarming, isn't it, that the Ministry can't get this lunatic behind bars?"

"My father told that he's more dangerous than the Ministry is letting on..." James said. "But he assured me that Voldemort could never get his hands on Hogwarts. He said that Dumbledore is really powerful, and that Voldemort fears him..."

"That's good, isn't it?" Peter asked, a bit scared.

"This is great, it means that soon Voldemort won't have anywhere to go, and will be caught." James assured him.

"I'm not so sure..." Sirius' retort wasn't expected. The other three waited for an explanation, apprehensive. "My parents..." He continued, after a few seconds "they talked about this Voldemort. They said that he was a great wizard, and you know my parents, they wouldn't associate with someone that had no chances of accomplish what they wanted... He's really dangerous if he has the support of the Blacks and the Malfoys..." his tone was ashamed. Remus put his hand on his shoulder and smiled:

"It's not your fault that you live with them, Sirius."

"I know..." he smiled back "it's just frustrating that I can't do anything to stop them..."

"I know how we could!" James said happily "We can become Aurors and fight all the dark wizards! That would do, huh?!"

"James" Peter said "we are at the fourth year, don't you think that it's too early to... oh, I forgot that I was talking to you!" and started to laugh. Sirius and Remus soon followed, and finally James gave up the pouting and laughed too.

"But it's a really good idea, James." Remus told him later.

Hey... could someone review? I would love it...
