A quick glimpse
Turns into a lingering look.
Not at all sentimental?
They might of mistook.
For although they are soldiers,
For the inevitable war,
The days of laughter, pranks
And breaking the law
Hold a tighter bond
For all.
They are too close for best friends,
Too close for brothers.
Quadruplets is a role they'd gladly except,
Probably to piss off Sirius' mother.
Because they are THE Marauders,
The pranksters of the school
You know the ones who did the prank of '67,
When they messed with the sorting hat stool.
And as good as they are,
They all know deep down,
That the school years were the best ones
But now it's time to move up town.
They know that they'll have to go there separate ways,
Eventually, of course
Because for now they'll try and stick together
And meet the world head on, with full force.
(And just hope it'll survive)
