*Chapter 1 - A Good Morning Wake- Up

A seventeen year old boy lay flat on his stomach deep in slumber. With his right cheek squished against his pillow and his right arm dangling from his four-poster bed, the young man was unaware that he was amusing three other young wizards. He had his mouth wide open and was snoring softly, totally oblivious to the fact that he had after-shave cream smeared all over his face.

There was faint whispering and snickering coming from the three young wizards. Soft laughter and impish smiles were exchanged amongst them.

The tallest of the three was trying so hard to hold back his laughter as he poured more after-shave onto the sleeping boy's dangling hand. A raven-haired boy with silver-framed glasses quickly grabbed a quill and tickled the snoozing boy's nostrils.

As expected, and to all of his so called "friends'" pleasure, the snoring boy's dangling hand (with the after-shave) swiped his face from forehead to his open mouth and with that, with out opening his eyes, woke up. An uproar of laughter filled the whole, empty Gryffindor tower.

"Ah! Fuck you guys! Bloody hell, you guys suck!"

There was another loud uproar of snorts and laughter, at this, the boy stood up from his bed sighing and mumbling. "Damn it." he complained to himself as he strolled to the washroom wearing nothing but black-silky boxers (A/N: Whoo hoo!) and his eyes still closed shut.

"Ugh, I feel like shit. Those stupid fools, they're gonna pay." he muttered and smiled to himself thinking of what prank he should play on his three best friends to get revenge.

"Hurry your ass up and get ready, Padfoot. Everybody else is eatin' breakfast in the Great Hall and it's the first day of classes!" Shouted a scrawny young man as 'Padfoot' slammed the washroom door shut, ignoring his friend's demands.

'Padfoot' shrugged and dragged himself to the faucet, rinsed his encrusted after-shaved face and dried it with a nice, soft facial towel. He looked up at the mirror and saw a young Sirius Black staring back at him. His jet-black hair stood up in natural messy spikes.

Girls of all ages went "goo-goo" and melted onto Sirius's lap whenever they meet his big, bright hazel eyes and dark, long eyelashes followed by his pearly-white, dazzling smile.

Sirius put on his Gryffindor robes and exited the washroom only to meet the smiles of his three best friends, James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew.

The four of them called themselves the 'Marauders' and everyone also knew them as the hottest 'players' in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who came up with the best jokes and pranks in Hogwarts history! Everybody wanted to get in on their jokes. The Marauders roamed around the castle playing pranks on people they disliked; people like. Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy. ( Oh yea, not to mention Mr. Goody-Two-Shows: Amos Diggory.)

James had the silver-framed glasses, and behind those glasses were gorgeous blue eyes that sparkled like sapphires whenever he smiled. His raven-hair was always quite untidy and unruly.

Remus had short, spiky, dirty-blonde hair with outrageously unique grey-blue eyes.

Peter had brown, curly, shaggy hair (you know, the beach boy look) and beady amber eyes. Although scrawny and lanky, Peter still attracted women by his charm and flirtatious personality.

The Marauders even gave themselves nicknames. Sirius was known as 'Padfoot', James as 'Prongs', Peter as 'Wormtail', and Remus as 'Moony'. The reason why these boys had these strange nicknames was because the names themselves related to the animal in which each boy would transform into ( they were all animagi; all but one. Remus Lupin. He was unfortunately and naturally a werewolf.

Remus was a very small child when he received the wolf bite. His parents tried everything, but such a cure did not exist. Remus would become a fully fledged monster once a month, waiting for the moon to wane again. It seemed impossible that he would be able to come to Hogwarts because other parents weren't likely to want their children exposed to him. But then Albus Dumbledore became Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and he was sympathetic. He said that as long as they took certain precautions, there was no reason why Remus shouldn't go to school. So, they planted a huge tree known as the Whomping Willow and was placed at the mouth of a tunnel. The tunnel lead to a rickety, abandoned house in a wizarding town not far from Hogwarts, called Hogsmeade. The tunnel was built for Remus's use. Once a month, he was smuggled out of the castle to the Whomping Willow to transform.

Remus's three best friends could hardly notice his absence once a month. He would make up all sorts of stories. He told them that his mother was ill and he had to go to see her, etc. Remus was terrified that his friends would desert him the moment they found out what he was. But of course, they worked out the truth.and as a matter of fact, they didn't desert him at all. Instead, they all became animagi.

It took them the best part of three years to work out how to do it. James and Sirius were the cleverest students in school, and lucky they were because animagus transformations can go horribly wrong. Peter needed all the help he could get from James and Sirius. Finally, in their fifth year, they managed it. They could each turn into a different animal at will.

James, Sirius, and Peter couldn't keep Remus company as humans when he was a werewolf, so they kept him company as animals. A werewolf is only a danger to people. The three of them sneaked out of the great castle every month under James's 'invisibility cloak'. They would transform and slip down the tunnel and join Remus. Highly exciting possibilities were open to them now that they could all transform. Sirius could transform into an outrageously huge, black dog; James as a pearly-white stag and Peter as a rat (A/N: a rat?! How lame!). They would roam around the school grounds and the Hogsmeade village at night. They doubted that any Hogwarts students ever found out more about the Hogwarts grounds and Hogsmeade than they did, for they designed the Marauder's Map. A map that showed all the secret passages in Hogwarts and Hogsmeade.

Although they felt guilty about betraying Dumbledore's trust, they were still carried away with their own cleverness for being so young and thoughtless. Their animagi transformations and the Marauders Map were kept secret.

"Wipe that smile off your face, James! Don't you ever wake me up like that again!" demanded Sirius.

"Aw, com' on, Padfoot. It was pretty funny." Remus defended James.

Sirius shot him an evil glare and Remus's face suddenly went white. "Uh, uh - well, it was his idea!" Remus cried pointing a finger at James.

Peter just leaned up against the wall, and smirked as he crossed his arms over his chest. " So what are ye goin' to do about it, Padfoot? Get us back by pullin' the same prank on us? Peter asked slyly, his face going purple as he tried to hold back his laughter remembering how funny and successful James's prank worked on Sirius.

Sirius exchanged glances with Remus to Peter. "No." He said flatly. He lift his leg up showing Peter his bulky, black shoe. "You do that shit to me again, and I'll be shovin' this shoe up your ass!"

Remus and James rolled on the ground laughing their heads off. Peter was still leaning up against the wall, but had now released his arms from his chest. " Oh! I would love to see you try!" He replied simply and sarcastically.

"Wow, Shit! Classes start in fifteen minutes and we have hardly any time to eat breakfast! Com' on I'm starving!" James interrupted as he darted for the door, turning his head around encouraging his friends to follow him to the Great Hall.

With James in the lead, the four of them galloped down the stairs exiting the dormitories, but before they even reached the bottom of the stairs, they crashed into each other's backs, then tumbled to the ground. Shrieks, "Ow's", "Damn it's", "Uphh's", thumps and grunts were heard throughout the Gryffindor Common Room. They lay on the floor tangled and mangled when Sirius began to complain.

"Ugh! This morning is just going perfect! Prongs! Prongs?! James!...The hell-?"

The crash happened all so sudden, because when James opened his eyes, he was laying flat on top of someone. A very attractive girl, with flaming red hair in a now messy bun and amazingly emerald-green eyes; their faces only inches apart.
