The concept of good and bad, pure and corrupt, moral and immoral, plays on everybody's mind. How do you define 'good', anyway? Is there a certain list of criteria that you have to comply to? What makes a person, or an action, good? Morality, consideration of others, selfless intention? And what's more, how do you define evil? Is an evil deed, performed for the sake of something good, really evil? All there rhetorical questions and man cannot answer but one. Maybe the shallow, thoughtless ones amongst us have it easier. Imagine it, not ever really having to think. How blissful.
Although their fame, or… notoriety may be a better term, was wide-spread, engulfing, and ludicrously over-publicized, I can wager that there a fair few things that most people don't know about The 'Marauders'. I mean, it takes more energy than most people have to quash a well-formed rumour. I think, that if any of us were bold enough to tell the truth, Harry Potter's life, and the lives of those around him, would have been a little different. The list of things that the general population doesn't know about our heroes, is long, and I'm not going to bother listing them all because that'd be boring, but I'll give you a wee few just to kick off. Firstly, most people don't know that Peter Pettigrew, otherwise known as Wormtail, was innocent, or that there was a fifth Marauder, or that that fifth, currently un-named individual was the reason for the death of Harry's parents, or, in fact, that that fifth Marauder, animagus and mischief maker, was me. First they blamed Sirius, then they blamed Peter, and I'm sure Remus and his 'furry little problem' caused a bit of a stir when pointing fingers, but they never looked twice at me. Maybe it was because I was a girl, who knows… all I know is that there is a murderer somewhere inside me, a passion for hatred that stirs every time I see her face. My years at Hogwarts should have been the best of my life, but jealousy ruined it all. Of course, don't presume that I started out with the intention of being a treacherous, slimy, criminal git. I didn't. In fact, thinking back on it I was really quite sweet.
