Marauders 101
By: neen
Ahh, I just got this idea randomly right before I went to sleep, so it's a wonder that I still remember it!
It's supposed to be funny…let's see how you guys like it!
Reviews, please.
Thanks!
PLEASE NOTE: CHAPTERS WILL NOT BE THIS SHORT. THIS IS ONLY AN INTRODUCTION.
Preface
Marauders 101:
An Inside Guide to The Way of The Four Gods of Hoggity Hogwarts
Hullo there! This is Messrs Wormtail, Moony, Padfoot, and Prongs here. Or is it? Shut your mouth, please, Padfoot, before I am forced to stick this pointy eagle quill up your arse and make you suffer from an internal infection. Yes, it is most definitely the magnificent, marvelous, mesmerizing, mysterious, and very magical Marauders.
You have inevitably discovered what is perhaps considered the most sacred book in the whole of Hogwarts Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Yes, it even ousts Hogwarts, A History regarding importance.
First of all, we would like to give you utmost congratulations for finding this, considering the tricky enchantments and spells we have placed on this object.
Now, we will give you an introduction to what you will find in this tiny, but ultimately valuable book.
That was dear Loony Moony writing in the italics. A good job he did, eh? So now, this is how we will be writing for the remainder of the book: Wormtail will be bland (sorry, pal), with absolutely no effects. Loony Moony's will be in italics, mine underlined because every single word of mine is so relevant that it must be underlined, of course. And dear Prongsie's is in bold. Ta ta!
Hi, I'm Pe—--scratched out words here--, I'm Wormtail! Er—I'm not quite sure what to write in here, so I will ask how your health is? Good? Oh, well, here's Prongs. He seems a bit frustrated. Did I spell that correctly?
Beg pardon for Wormtail's blunderings; he does not really not how to write a book. Fear not, it is I, the beloved stag, Prongs. We will dedicate one chapter to each Marauder's profile. We will arrange this according to seniority. Quiet, sensitive Wormtail, being the youngest, will go first, then intellectualist and clever Moony, then dumb-arse, but lovable Padfoot, and finally me (the best--scratched out words: possibly 'worst', then 'best', then 'worst' above the word 'best', then a 'hah!-- for last, eh?), the very well-liked and exceedingly handsome Prongs!
We will each personally write a short summary about us, and then the rest of the Marauders will contribute what they have to say about said Marauder of the chapter.
By the way, if you're female, please leave your name in the back of this book, where there is approximately 12 out of 15600 spots left.
If your name is Lily Evans…LILY, I LOVE YOU.
Er, right. Moving right along…
Can we say goodbye now? I'm hungry.
Tuck in!
Author's Note:
I know it's extremely short, but fear not, the others will be quite long, considering the amounts of stuff I will be putting in them.
Just an overview of what the chapters will be like…is it confusing? The format, I mean.
Please leave a review if you'd like for this to continue! If I get enough reviews soon, I will work on this as well as the other stories. If not, well, it'll be a while before I update this again. I just wanted to know if people liked the idea.
I accept anonymous reviews!
P.S. Kudos to Sylvia Snape for finding the typo! Yes, I do suppose Remus is more intelligent…grins.
P.P.S. If anyone knows if the strikethrough tag is permitted (I don't think so…sob) , please tell me. I'm trying to find a good way to show 'revision/editing' in the book. Thanks!
