There they were, the famous marauders- all 6th years-... Sirius Black, who was known around school for his amazing pranks and sense of humor. With soft black hair that fell elegantly in to his eyes, and a warm smile that gave everyone the feeling they had a friend in him. Remus Lupin, known for having the most disregard of the rules that Hogwarts had ever seen. Given sandy hair that reminded you of the beach and clear brown eyes he was easily the most flirtatious of them all. Patrick Pinter, the only boy in school to have called Flitwick a more boring than a sleeping rhinoceros. He had just as much jovial as Remus and Sirius and a bit more sense of the rules. Last, but not least enter Lily Evans- the only girl of the group, who had amazing power over the three young men. And it seemed as if she knew it as well.. With mid- back red hair and almond shaped alarmingly green eyes, Lily Evans had stolen quite a few hearts and broken many more.
On the train to Hogwarts, there was quite a lotta noise. The only thing different was that the noise was coming from only ONE compartment. The reserved one, the royal one, the one with boundaries made so any normal wizard or witch couldn't cross. It was the marauder compartment. Remus and Lily we're helping Sirius and Pat decide what word was more insulting: Malfoy or Snape.

"But you see when you say Snape- you automatically give everyone the assumption that the person being insulted has GREASY SLIMY NEVER BEEN WASHED hair" started Patrick.

"Yea, but when you say Malfoy you give off the impression that the person is lower than low; dirtier than dirt; slimier than slime; uglier than.than" Sirius trailed off.

"HA! You lose", exclaimed Patrick gleefully.

"...Snape" finished Sirius.

Lily gasped, Remus's mouth formed an "o" shape, and Patrick looked away in disgust. "Fine you win but only because you used Snape unfairly", said Patrick

"I used Snape fine, it's not my fault he looks the way he looks" pouted Sirius. They were so caught up in their conversation; they didn't know the silently laughing figure in the doorway. Finally Patrick noticed, and nudged Sirius.

"You know it sounds to me like Snape is definitely one fine guy, to be fought over by two of the most charming men I have ever seen", said the voice from the doorway. It was female, that was obvious. Sirius turned an odd pinkish color, making him resemble a pixie. An oddly tall pixie, but a pixie. Patrick was nowhere to be seen because he was hiding under the seat from embarrassment.

"Now, now it's best to discuss your feelings with this Snape fellow, I don't understand why you're afraid of rejection...it's okay" the figure slowly replied. Lily burst out laughing,

"Come introduce yourself so I can take you to meet Snape", smiled Lily A pretty girl with black hair and blue eyes came in and looked at Sirius and Patrick sympathetically.

"I'm Tina, Tina Sharma. Pleased to meet you"
