DISCLAIMER- I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS. SADLY.

The Marauder went down in history for a lot of things. One thing being the most mischievous and troublesome students to walk Hogwarts halls in a long, long time.

But all friendships had a beginning and so did theirs. And that beginning started one of the most notorious friendships to ever be known.

Sirius Black woke up as sunlight streamed into his eyes. He squinted and let out a long groan as his eyes faces the harsh light.

"Merlin, Sirius. People are still trying to sleep you know." He turned to see James lying in his bed, glaring at him with sleepy eyes. Sirius snickered at the state of his hair, messier than it usually was. He laughed as James unsuccessfully tried to get out of bed, only to fall to the floor.

"Ha ha, laugh it up while you still can." James muttered as he passed Sirius to head to the bath. James was probably his only real friend in Hogwarts. He rest tended to ignore him or mutter at him behind his back. James didn't do that. He didn't care whether Sirius was in the noble house of Black. He just treated Sirius like how he normally would anyone else and that was what Sirius really valued above all his other traits.

"Get ready you arse." He snapped out of his reverie to see James unsuccessfully trying to tame his hair while conversing with Sirius.

"It's too bloody early to get ready now." He was about to pull the covers over his head and go back to bed, when James yanked his mattress and made Sirius to fall on the floor.

On his arse. What a caring friend.

"I told you it was too early." Sirius grumbled to James accusingly, pointing to the practically empty hall. James rolled his eyes and stuck his tongue out at him.

"I know it was." Sirius raised his eyebrows at James. "You woke me up with your insufferable wailing, mate. It was only fair to drag you down here."

"Bloody sadist." He fell silent as they approached the Gryffindor table and sat next to a girl with bright red hair that covered her face as she peered over a book. She seemed vaguely familiar but he couldn't quite place it.

"…And there he his, the one who went to Gryffindor, the bloody traitor." Sirius turned to see Bellatrix whispering obnoxiously to her fellow Slytherin lackey while smirking at Sirius knowing perfectly well he could hear her. James rolled his eyes and tugged on Sirius's shoulder.

"Don't pay any attention to them. You yourself said you wouldn't care about what your relatives said about you. Don't go back on your word." He was uncharacteristically serious about this.

"I won't", he protested as he shrug his shoulder, knocking his hand off.

"That's my mate." He let out his smirk, except this one was warmer that his usual one.

"James Potter waiting so long to flash his obnoxious smirk? The world is ending." He said dramatically as he reached for a slice of toast.

"Oi, shut up….."

Even though they woke up early they were still rushing to their first lesson. All because James was intent on showing off to an impassive Lily Evans by throwing random objects and catching them.

It was also Sirius's fault for distracting him and causing the potatoes he was throwing up to fall splat on his face. The dish fell on his face too.

"This is all your fault." James grumbled. "Merlin, why are we even friends?"

"Well, this would not have happened if you weren't being a prat and bragging to Lily Evans."

"I was not."

"Mhhm, sure."

"Hey loser!"

They skidded to halt as they witnessed a burly third year advance on a thin boy wearing the Gryffindor uniform.

"Hey, I know him." James exclaimed as they witnessed the boy look up impassively at the advancing third year. Sirius recognized him.

"Remus Lupin? He was on the train with us, right?" He didn't like the way the third year came up to Lupin and sneered at him.

"Aren't you too young to be reading such a book? Well, we might have to tell you in a different way if you can't understand." He cracked his knuckles menacingly and Sirius felt a wave of hot rage and before he realized,

"Hey, prat!" He ignored James exasperated look and continued to yell profanities at the surprised Hufflepuff. "Leave him alone. Are you jealous that he can read big words and you can't?! Is that your problem? Huh?" The Hufflepuff tilted his head and looked at the two first years menacingly.

"What are you talking about, you little-"

"He's saying your retarded. Well of course you couldn't understand." James said innocently, tilting his head. The Hufflepuff's face turned a brighter shade of red.

"You little brats!" He lunged at the first years effectively tackling the boys as they tried to escape.

"You'll regret that!" He yelled and raised his wand above his head. They winced and turned their heads to the side and braced themselves when,

"Stupefy." The voice was so quiet that they barely heard it but suddenly the third year froze above them, wand clutched in his hand, and awkward expression of rage plastered on his face. They turned to see Lupin standing there, conflicted on whether to look concerned for their well being or amused at their luck. "Erm…"

"What in Merlin is going on here!?" Professor Mcgonagall rushed down the halls, a look of fury on her face.

"Ah, bugger."

"Disgraceful. On the first day of your lessons, this is what you were up to. Hexing a senior. This makes for bad news Mister Black." James snickered shamelessly. "That includes you too, Mister Potter." Serves him right.

"Professor, it was me who hexed Mister Daniels." Remus Lupins clear voice cut through James and Sirius silent bickering. Mcgonagall raised her eyebrows at him.

"Explain."

"He was harassing me. It was natural defense. Sirius and James just helped me defend myself."

"Is this true?" She turned to James and Sirius. They nodded vigorously. "Well then, I will have a very serious talk with Mister Daniels. That was a very well executed spell for a first year Mister Lupin. I expect good grades form you." Lupin nodded. "Well, off you go."

"Thanks for that." Lupin said as soon as they left Mcgonagalls office.

"No problem. Actually, mate you saved our arses. We should thank you." Sirius said.

"And when he says this you did a pretty good job, Lupin." James muttered sarcastically. Lupin laughed.

"We have class. Bets if we go so we don't end up in a tighter corner." Sirius and James paled as they realised this.

"Ah."

And this was how Remus Lupin, James Potter and Sirius Black became friends.
