Chapter 1

Have you ever done something even though you knew you're best friend would probably kill you for it? The best friend, fellow Gryffindor who hates his family and detests every Slytherin on the planet, Padfoot, is going to officially kill me when he hears about this. Oh yes, say goodbye to Moony, he's a dead man walking.

What for? Fraternising with the enemy as he would see it, followed by an exceptionally strong bout of 'what the hell do you think you're doing, that's my cousin'. Yes, Remus Lupin has betrayed the Marauder code of conduct on three counts in less than five minutes, and with less than a moment's hesitation.

Having intimate relations with any family member of fellow Marauders is strictly forbidden unless cleared by said family member.

Have intimate relations with any Slytherin upon pain of death.

Missing a Marauder Meeting without prior notice for a girl results in public humiliation and/or a beating.

If I manage to survive Sirius, I won't get past James and Peter's temper.

It's worth it though. It's worth the black eye I'll have tomorrow, the bruises and humiliation.

Definitely worth it.
