Hi! Thanks for wanting to read this fanfic. I was reading a story of six friends whom one by one committed suicide, the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth out of sorrow of their friends leaving them. Then suddenly my mind came to these four. I hope you like this story.

A boy with messy, untamable, black hair looked into a compartment and saw a boy with short grayish-brown locks reading a book about Charms, "Can I sat here?" The boy looked up, amber eyes meeting hazel, "Sure." He sat down across from him, "I'm James Christopher Potter, and this is my first year here."
The boy answered, "I'm Remus Jack Lupin, and this is also my first year here. I was really surprised that I actually received my letter." Before James can say anything the compartment door opened and a boy with long black hair and sparkling blue eyes came in, "Mind if I stay here, the other compartments are either full or are with people I don't want to sit with. I'm Sirius Orion Black by the way, first year."
"James Potter, first year."
"Remus Lupin ditto."
Sirius sat beside James and found many things they were in common with, like hates Slytherin, loves pranking, loves wooing girls etc. Across from them Remus kept on reading his book while listening to the books. Soon after the compartment door opened again, this time a short blonde kid with teary blue eyes was standing there. "Can...can I sit here? The...the others are...are all full."
"Of course you can, I'm Remus Lupin."
"James Potter."
"Sirius Black."
"Thank...thank you. I'm Peter Pettigrew, this...this is my...my first year here."
"Ditto."
"Same."
"Same."
They spent the whole trip talking (mostly James and Sirius) and reading (Remus), soon friendship between the four of them was formed.

The Sorting only gave them an even bigger chance to become best of friends.

"Black, Sirius!"
"Hmm...another Black. Ha I know where to put you SLY..."
"NOOO! Not Slytherin! Anything but Slytherin!"
"A Black not wanting to be Slytherin? Ambitious yes, but not Slytherin material. A rebel. Hufflepuff is definitely out of the question. Don't like study so Ravenclaw is out as well. So that leaves GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!!!!!"
Sirius grinned at his furious cousins and sat down at the Gryffindor table. Everyone was shocked that a Black got into Gryffindor.
"Evans, Lily!"
James stared at the beautiful redhead and drooled, "She's beautiful!"
"GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!!!!"
The love struck boy clapped loudly for her.
"Lupin, Remus!"
"Ahh...The first werewolf in a very long time. Hmm...you'll do well in Ravenclaw, but you are very noble and brave to come here like what you are. GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!!!!"
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Smiling to himself he picked a sit next to Sirius.
"Pettigrew, Peter!"
"Very sly you'll do well in Slytherin."
"NO! No one likes me except for the three of them!"
"Hufflepuff is out of the question, you're only loyal to yourself. Ravenclaw is a can't be. Are you sure you don't want to be in Slytherin? You'll do well in there."
"Yes I'm sure!"
"Then you might as well be in GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!!!!
The stumbled to his way beside Remus as there's no more room beside Sirius. Well there was room, but Sirius put Remus' book onto the space beside him waiting for James.
"Potter, James!"
"Another Potter! I know exactly where to put you GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!!!"
Grinning widely he sat beside Sirius.

When they went back to their dorms they found out that they're dorm mates, bringing them even closer. During the years they became the infamous pranksters call The Marauders. In their second year they found out that their friend Remus was a werewolf, but they didn't leave him. That brought them even closer than before. That brought up the nickname Moony.
In their fifth year the three normal boys finally managed to become Animagus' to help their friend Remus during the full moon. It was then their nicknames Padfoot, Prongs and Wormtail really had a meaning to it. Every full moon the four of them will go on adventures that brought them even closer.
In their seventh year James finally became someone in Lily's eyes and started to go out with him. On their graduation day he proposed to her and they married a few years later. After that they had a son called Harry James Potter, who looked exactly like his father if it wasn't for his emerald green eyes.
