A/N: This story starts in the Marauders and Dream Queens seventh year. This fist chapter is just the history of the charries and such. Please don't go too hard on me, this is my first chapter-like bit of the story and I Promise that it will get better. Read A/N at the bottom too!
The "About the story" chapter: The Marauders and The Dream Queens.
Many of you will know most the story of the Marauders. You probably know that it consisted of four boys with the nicknames of Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs. Their real names, as you also probably know, were Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black and James Potter. All came from different parentages.
Sirius Black was from a blood line most pure, and looked a lot like his mother and father. Yet he thought so differently. He was always different, but when he was blasted off the family tree, he could finally pretend for a while that he wasn't different.
Remus Lupin came from a wizard father and a witch mother, but his bloodlines were far from pure. When he was around the age of five he was bitten by a notorious werewolf, Fenrir Greyback and soon, he too had to put up with transformations once every month.
Peter Pettigrew, well he was just… weird. Not many knew much about him, except that he followed James, Sirius, and Remus around. That's all everyone really knew about him, except for his friends.
James Potter was also from pure blood lines, yet not as pure as Sirius' and his family didn't think the same as the Blacks. In fact their families were almost complete enemies. So all who knew about the two families being enemies, were very surprised when James and Sirius became best friends.
Yes I know, many of you have heard all this before. Yes you know all about James and his love for a certain red head, and yes I'm guessing that you know that Sirius was the "hot guy" at Hogwarts, and of course you know that Remus was very smart and sensible (most times), and I'm certain you knew that Peter was just… weird.
But did you know that there was also another group, like The Marauders, but it consisted of four girls, sometimes five. It was called The Dream Queens. Weird, strange and hippie like, I know, but that's what it was called. The Dream Queens. Anyway the four girls in this group were, Lily Evens, Kay-Gina Tahli, Sandy Milee and Nikita Lonnela. All four of the girls were very very close and they were all each others best friend, but Lily and Kay-Gina were closer by a tiny bit, as were Nikita and Sandy. But that never got in between them all as a group.
Lily Evens, as you probably know, was a red head and, coincidently, the same red head that James liked, no loved. She had sparkling green eyes and was just a bit shorter than her best friend, Kay-Gina, who was just above average. So you could probably say that she was about average height.
Kay-Gina was a very, out there girl. A bit like a female Sirius, really. She had brown hair and blue eyes. She was above average height and was a loyal friend. She was nice, yet had a sharp tongue and could definitely stand her ground. She was a prankster of a sort, but she did have a little bit more sense than them. If she tried, she could have gotten just as many detentions as they had.
Sandy was in a way, a typical blonde. Don't get me wrong, she was very smart in some subjects, like gossiping, but she wasn't as good as the rest of the class in subjects like, herbology, she didn't want to get her nails dirty too much, Transfiguration, it just wasn't her strong point, and Divination, she might have been a blonde, but she didn't believe in that clod-wash that that fraud said. She was surprisingly good at Muggle studies, Defense against the Dark Arts, and lunch. She was terrible, however, at Potions, her cauldron kept blowing up every time she tried to do certain potions.
Nikita, well she was very interesting. She could make anyone laugh and she was quite pretty, but there was something strange with her hair. It was purple. Yes I know, very strange, but true. It was passed down in her mothers' side of the family that the girls would have coloured hair. Honestly, you should have seen her sisters', it was bright pink. Sure, this would usual through her mothers' family, but something about her fathers' family changed a certain factor in her and her sisters' hair. It changed. It would still be purple or pink, but every now and then, it would change to a different shade, volume or length. At first, it would just change but Nikita and he sister, with practice, became able to control when it changed and what it changed to. She was that same height as Sandy, shorter than Lily, and she had blue eyes.
These girls, as I have said, made up Les Rêveurs, also called the dreamers by those who couldn't speak French properly, or for people who just couldn't remember what it was. Their group had started in year two of Hogwarts and they helped each other from that day until the day they died, and stuck together like best friends do.
Lily and Kay-Gina had been friends since kindergarten, as they attended together. Of course Lily didn't know about magic, even though Kay-Gee had magical parents, until year two of normal schooling, when she discovered her friend being magic one day after school. The ministry would have wiped her memory if she hadn't already had a place at Hogwarts.
Lily then met Nikita in Diagon Alley behind a bookshelf in Flourish and Blots. She did not know then, that they would become best friends. Lily was, of course, intrigued by Nikita's hair, and because it changed so often, she didn't realize her at first on the Hogwarts train, but then she remembered those big blue eyes of hers, and Lily then immediately asked her to sit in Kay-Gina and hers compartment.
Sandy, however, knew no body at Hogwarts, she had always been kept away from the magical community, she never knew why though. She happened to trip just outside the girls' compartment, dropping her pet cat, called "Kat". The three girls came out straight away to see what had happened, and saw her lying on the ground, going slightly red in the face. They helped her up, asked if she was ok, and let her in, after she got Kat.
After that fateful day, they all became best friends; yes even Kat was included, she was their mascot when they made their group. It was quite a strange group, a smart girl, a blonde girl, a "hot chic" and a fun-to-be-around purple haired girl.
And that's their story, the story of how they became friends, and eventually, Rêveurs too.
A/N Ok, that was the introductory chapter, I didn't include too much about the Marauders because it would just be saying what you already know over and over again. The next chapter will be on the train seventh year. Oh and please don't be put off by the purple hair thing, it's weird I know, but it means something to me and I had to include it.
Also I will be making a website for this, nothing flash, just pictures and stats and info on the charries. You don't need to go on the website if you don't want to, but it should help you understand the story a bit more, and give you hints on the upcoming events in the story, I hope to have it up by chapter 10. Not much point of me making it now…
Review, comment and criticize because it will help me get this story up faster, and it will generally make it better. Plus it puts a smile on my face to see that people are actually reading it:)

P.S: The chapters will get longer, I promise.
