I love the Marauders (minus Pettigrew)... but what if the Marauders were female? Fem!Marauders! I am proud to present... Miranda Lupin: Miss. Moony (Miranda being the name of Uranus' moon), Aquarius Black: Miss. Padfoot (Aquarius being a constellation and following the House of Black's naming tradition), Juliette Potter: Miss. Prongs (Okay... so I liked the name Juliette better than Jane or Jayme) and Penelope Pettigrew (wouldn't leave him out, always have to have a character that you don't mind beating up ;p). Also in this gender bending story I present Leo Evans and Serrena Snape. I don't know whether Marauder fanfictions are popular, but I hope people read this and let me know what they think. I've been writing fanfics for a while and finally I have full confidence publishing the stuff I like. Read. Love. Review. RoxannetheLaugh.

Perched upon a precariously balanced trunk -with nose in a romance novel- sat Miranda Lupin. Miranda Lupin is an exceptionally slender and fragile-looking eleven-year-old. Her soft youthful face, with wide golden eyes and pale lips was tainted by a faint scar from a childhood accident. Her light brunette hair fell awkward tangles down her back, if released from the untidy bun. Miranda was dressed in a unusually shabby pinafore dress over which sat a baggy jumper that hung off her shoulder. Miranda's total lack of excitement seemed hideously out of place on platform 9¾. Miranda only feared the journey ahead of her: whereas, the other student impatiently anticipated sending the next ten months at Hogwarts.

Speaking of impatient students: a small distance along platform 9¾, Aquarius Black was attempting to escape her parents and their pureblood mania. Running along platform 9¾, Aquarius' raven black curls fluttered against her shoulders as her striking grey eyes searched for somewhere to hide. Aquarius is sick and tired with The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black's medieval approaches to wizardry. Aquarius' strict childhood had made her reckless and keen to make trouble.

'Aquarius! Ursula! Black!' Her mother's hag-ridden voice could be heard above the commotion on the platform. Aquarius panicked hiding behind the precariously balance trunk that Miranda was perched upon.

Miranda remained unaware of Aquarius' presents until Walburga Black located her disobedient daughter. Miranda watched mother and daughter quarrelling loudly.

'Aquarius! You will act like a well mannered young lady! Just this once!'

'No! This is me! Get used to it!'

'I'm ashamed to be your mother!'

'I hate you!' Walburga slapped Aquarius.

'Disrespectful freak!' Aquarius laughed as her mother screamed in frustration and apparated. A few seconds passed: then Aquarius' luggage fell out the sky around her. Miranda wasn't sure how to react. Aquarius organised her belongs and boarded the Hogwarts Express.

'You coming?' Miranda glanced around, hoping that the ill-mannered girl was talking to someone else. Aquarius laughed again. 'I am talking to you...' Miranda's eyes snapped toward Aquarius. 'I'm Aquarius... just in case my charming mother didn't make that crystal clear.' Miranda chuckled: this girl is mad.

'Miranda Lupin.' Aquarius smiled.

Meanwhile, already aboard the Hogwarts Express sat Juliette Potter, playing with a brand new golden snitch. The snitch was a going-away present from her parents: after she'd attempted six times to smuggle her prized broom into her trunk. Juliette studied the snitch cautiously with deep hazel eyes, moving her hand quickly recapturing it. Her long black hair -that fell straight against her back- blew in a sudden breeze. The bespectacled eleven-year-old was already thinking of home and she hadn't even left yet. Juliette's train of thought was soon interrupted by a certain Miss. Black.

'You mind?' Juliette didn't answer initially, meaning Aquarius wondered into the compartment. 'Anyone there?' Juliette gazed towards Aquarius.

'Sorry... Daydream. Nah. Go ahead.'

Aquarius and Miranda placed their trunks in the overhead storage as Juliette introduced herself. 'I'm Juliette Potter... but call me Jules, I guess.' Miranda took a seat opposite Juliette with a polite smile.

'Miranda Lupin.' Juliette couldn't help but notice the faint scar across Miranda's face. Miranda smirked. 'Ran into a Hippogriff when I was camping with mum and dad.' Juliette's mouth fell open.

'Really?' Miranda laughed.

'No... smashed a window when I was five with accidental magic. Glass went everywhere.' Juliette fell quiet as Aquarius landed next to Miranda.

'Aquarius Black.' Juliette's head flicked toward Aquarius.

'Black...? You'll be in Slytherin then?' Aquarius froze: only in her worst nightmares would she be placed into that very house.

'I bloody well hope not!' Juliette was speechless. 'If I am, I give you two permission to push me off the astronomy tower... I don't agree with the House of Black's pureblood mania and medieval practices.' A smile appeared on Juliette's lips. Aquarius would be a Gryffindor: Jules could tell.

Miranda's nose had found its way back to her romance novel, meaning Aquarius and Juliette continued to talk. 'This one will be Ravenclaw. Haven't even started school and she's reading.' Juliette nodded.

'I'm going to be Gryffindor, like my parents... so, you play Quidditch?' Juliette could tell from the sudden spark in Aquarius eyes that Aquarius loved Quidditch.

'Are you mad?! I definitely do... I'm a beater.' Juliette was impressed. She hadn't met very many female beaters. They began discussing Quidditch tact-tics and who was the cutest professional player.

The lunch trolley appeared around twelve o'clock, being pushed by a plump but friendly witch.

'Anything from the trolley, dears?' Juliette glanced towards Miranda and Aquarius. Miranda remained non-responsive with her novel: Aquarius shrugged as her stomach rumbled.

'I'm broke.' Juliette went ahead and almost brought the entire trolley. Aquarius bit into a Cauldron Cake, speaking with her month full. 'Jules, you've absolutely ruined dinner for me.' Jules laughed: tempting Miranda with a chocolate bar.

'Can't eat all of this on our own.' Aquarius looked thoroughly hurt.

'Speak for yourself... Ooo... Drooble's Blowing Gum! I love this stuff.' Miranda looked up from her novel, accepting the chocolate bar from Jules.

'Just don't get it in your hair... It's a bugger to get out.' Aquarius was already blowing bubbles.

Jules attempting to distract Miranda from her romance novel.

'Interesting book?' Miranda swallowed her month-full of chocolate and licked her lips.

'Yes...' Miranda marked her current page. 'You attempted any magic yet?' Juliette thought back to that one spell she'd tried during the summer and the way that her mother flower bed had burst into flames. She flushed kinda red just thinking about it.

'It didn't end well, how about you?' Miranda's amused smile vanished as Jules asked.

'Erm... I blew-up the dishes and transfigured the family teapot into a weird half hedgehog creature.' A grin returned to Jules lips as Aquarius interrupted.

'I blew-up the dishes too. Mum went bananas.' Miranda laughed.

'Yes... I have seen your mother's temper.' Jules just gawked towards Aquarius.

'That was your mother...? It sounded like your father.' The three girls laughed. This would be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. That's if Aquarius didn't end up in Slytherin and no one found out about Miranda's dark secret.
