Harry Potter is property of JKRowling, who is not me...catch my drift?
Remembering.
Four teenage boys sat huddled in a compartment. It was their usual compartment in the middle of the gleaming red train named; the Hogwarts Express was heading to the best and most well known magical school in Britain – Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The train was filled with the loud chattering of friends reuniting after a summer apart, yet the four boys' compartment was suspiciously quiet if anyone who knew them, and had heard the whispering. But of course, anyone who knew the Marauders (as they call themselves) knew that it meant they were planning something.
James Potter was a messy, black haired sixteen years old. Extremely mischievous, clever when he wanted to be and a would-be twin to his best friend Sirius Black. James Potter is a very good quidditch player, playing chaser but he tends to show off a bit. He was also utterly in love with the red haired goddess (or that's what he thought) Lily Evans.
Sirius Black was devilishly handsome with his shoulder length black hair and gray/silver eyes which always had a sparkle when he was planning something but became clouded over at any mention of his family. He was also smart when he wanted to be but he preferred to use his mind for pranks, and jinxes. His confidence and social life had given him a player attitude. His best friend ever would always be James and that's where he went after running away from home the summer of fifth year.
Remus Lupin was the responsible one, well, as responsible as you can be being one of the Marauders. He had sandy hair and dark blue eyes and a lithe figure. He also had a secret. Remus Lupin had been a werewolf ever since he was seven years old. Many painful transformations had led to a lot of scars over his body including one on his arm, chest and neck which made girls see him as mysterious. He was also the one who applied his brains to schoolwork and homework.
(Peter Pettigrew never deserved to be a Marauder, so has been replaced with Frank Longbottom :D )
Frank Longbottom was the last of the infamous Marauders. He had chocolate brown coloured hair, he was fairly smart and divided his knowledge between pranks and work. He was completely in love with his girlfriend of seven months Alice Prewett. Frank Longbottom is a whiz at herbology, with professor Sprout being his favourite teacher. He was exceptionally kind and trusting, which he showed with his Gryffindor bravery if ever he saw one of his friends or younger students getting bullied.
The four Gryffindor, sixth years also held another secret, well three of them were involved but Remus was only involved through his own secret. At the end of last year James, Sirius and Frank managed the difficult feat of becoming animagi, because they knew that werewolves weren't harmful and infectious to other animals and that it would be easier for Remus to keep his head screwed on. So after a lot of researching and potion brewing they practised becoming their animagus selves;
James a whitish stag.
Sirius a great black grim like dog.
Frank a greyish ring tailed lemur.
All there to help Remus the werewolf.
The marauder meeting that was being held in their usual compartment was to discuss two things. First their fist prank on Snivellus a.k.a. Severus Snape and two decide on their first prank during the start of year feast. They had planned Snivellus' prank already simple but effective.
"So ...Remmy ol' buddy ol' pal you're going to charm his hair pink correct?" Asked James running through the plan.
"Yep after Dumbledore says his random words of the year, easy as pie." Remus replied happily.
"Then Sirius will cast the random soundtrack charm..."
"With songs from muggle artists and Christina Warbeck" Sirius grinned evilly.
"Frank, you'll ..." he waited for Frank to carry on.
"Yes we all know the plan James" James looked expectantly, "I'll cast the notice not charm, rendering Snivellus oblivious to his pink hair and muggle music"
"Right then I'll somehow manage to convince Lily to go out with me and not have a red hand print on my cheek afterwoods.
James looked happy drifting into a daydream of what he hoped to be his happy ever after, while they guys looked at him and sighed knowing that a Lily rant would be coming up with a description of every single thing e liked about her. Which would'nt have been too bad had it been the first time but no this was going to be the fifth time today.
"Not gunna happen, mate. Accept it, move on there are plenty more fitt girls in Hogwarts." Sirius told him while wondering which fitt girls maybe in the compartments around them. James had slowly started to wander out of the compartment in hope of finding Lily Evans and the possibility of asking her out.
"Hey!"
"Allright James?"
"Hi Sirius!"
"How's it hangin'?"
People greeted James and Sirius as they walked down the train and greeted some people and replied other's questions on their holidays. While Sirius flirted with a couple of girls every now and then it had been ten minutes of walking down the train and James still hadn't seen Lily. He did see Snivellus though and couldn't resist the urge to hex him with the jelly legs curse. Noticing two larger Slytherins coming to help Snape and therefore decided it would be a good idea to...
"Sirius, quick run!" James said already starting with Sirius on his tail, he ducked in to a compartment before crouching down to hide.
"POTTER!" A female voice yelled from behind him, "WHAT do you think you're doing in here, and WHY are you hiding?"
"Lily!, you're here finally-have you been hiding from me that's the question that should be asked" he grinned cheekily "coincidentally will you" "NO, now GET OUT" she screamed. The door slammed open and Lily pushed him out before the next person came in thinking that it would be Sirius. It was. Sirius not realising that it was James coming towards him quickly said "Protego" and the force of the spell forced James into Lily who was bashed against the window, her knees buckled before slumping to the floor unconscious.
Hi this is (going to be) my first fanfic which is more than a one-shot, hopefully it'll be okay but I have no clue if anyone's looked at my one-shot before this so I have no clue. I've had this idea for a while now, it's based on the book Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac, please read and review,
Angharad xoxo.
(p.s. please tell me any mistakes you notice)
