A/N: I should probably finish putting up the rest of my chapters for my other fics, but this idea came to me, and I felt like writing. ****this fic is post OoTP, and I haven't paid any attention to what we've learnt about Sirius' family, k? Its just for fun, so please forgive me!***
Chapter One
The Explosion.
Of course, the Gryffindor girls were quite used to the explosions. After six and a half years of living in the same tower with the Marauders, you either had to get used to them or wear earmuffs permanently. The seventh year girls, what with being in the same year as the four unruly boys and having all of their lessons with them, had built up quite a system to dealing with them. Lily Evans, the cleverest witch in the school, and the new Head Girl, had put a sound wall all around her dormitory in the first few weeks of her 3rd year.
But the sound of this particular explosion had even managed to penetrate her strongest spells making the five girls get to their feet with a start and rush down stairs to the common room, just in time to see the four Marauders running down the stairs with crumbling stone and plaster following them. They leapt down from the fourth stair to the ground, just in time, as a large piece of concrete tumbled down the steps to wedge between the walls and block the one entrance up to the boy's dormitories.
For a few moments, there was utter silence. Then-
"Whoa!" said Sirius Black, one of the Marauders and Hogwarts most sought after male student. "Let's do that again!"
Everyone in the common room turned to glare at him, except his best friend, James Potter, who, while wiping his glasses with one hand, patted him on the shoulder and said-
"Maybe some other time, Siri."
* *
"Most despicable behavior," Professor McGonagall said, glaring around at them. "I cannot believe that there are students in my house that would even consider attempting such foolish spells! I hope the students in question here have learnt something from this most unfortunate incident. Perhaps these students will think about the consequences of their actions before doing anything next time they raise their wands." She paused to glare in the direction of the Marauders.
James smiled innocently at her and Peter half waved, making her nostrils flare dangerously.
"I wish she'd say our names," Sirius whispered to Remus. "The least she could do is let us take some credit!"
Remus rolled his eyes.
"As a result of this terrible would-be experiment conducted by some of our seventh year boys, the whole boys dormitories of Gryffindor will need to be renovated. As the Gryffindor tower is one of the more elderly parts of the school, it was never charmed to fix itself. We will have wizards in to start the work as soon as possible. Due to lack of space, we will have to place the Gryffindor boys into the girl's dormitories. This will call for the removal of a charm set down by Godric Gryffindor many years ago, and it will also mean that certain changes will have to take place," McGonagall said, looking around at the girls.
"I certainly hope that we can trust our students to do the right thing while we repair the tower. I thank the girls who will be sharing their dormitories most profusely. You're discomfort will be noticed. Any complaints can be given to me. I will do what I can. I hope the boys who caused this disruption in the school year will apologize to everyone they have affected. There will be a list up on the notice board this evening with dormitory groups. That is all."
"Woohoo!" James whooped. "We get to share dormitories with the girls!!" he gave Sirius a high five and they both started ............well, acting like idiots.
"What I don't understand," Remus said thoughtfully, "Is why they didn't split the girls into half the dormitories and give us the rest........"
However, the boys were too busy being fools to notice his intelligent observation.

"Albus, I really do think it would be wiser to give the boys half of the dorms and the girls the other half. Or of course we could make the boys camp out in the Great Hall," McGonagall suggested. She stood anxiously at Dumbledore's elbow.
"Oh, Minerva, stop fussing. This is a perfect test on our students. And anyway, we're going to put younger boys in with older girls, so that they wouldn't be tempted to do anything," Dumbledore explained.
"Yes, well, that would have been splendid, except for the fact that every girl in every year but the Seventh years have absolutely refused to have Black, Lupin, Potter and Pettigrew," she pointed out.
"Well, then put them with the seventh year girls. What's the problem?" Dumbledore said.
"Well, the boys are seventh years as well," Minerva began.
"Yes, but the seventh year girls, namely Evans, Freach, Gallagher, Jones and Black, hate their fellow boy Gryffindors with a passion, not to mention some of them are related. Also, all the boys have girlfriends in other houses. Really, I see no problem," Dumbledore said.
Minerva opened her mouth, but found that there was nothing more to say.
"Very well then," she said, as she left the room.
Albus Dumbledore smiled to himself. He had great plans for these boys. Ingenious minds like there's could not be let to go to waste.

Lily Evans blew out a breath of air in a frustrated scream.
"I can't believe they would do this to us!" she stormed, pacing up and down her dorm angrily. "I mean, the Marauders???? In our dormitory?! Why us? Why me? Why?"
None of the other girls answered her.
"God," Andrea Black (yes, Sirius' sister) said glumly. "It'll be like sharing a room with Sirius all over again. You have no idea how bad that it. We shared a room for three years back when we were little. He was one vicious six year old!"
Sarah Gallagher groaned.
"I thought we would get some third years or something. We could boss them around, get them to clean the dorm every morning, and have no problems. But the Marauders? It'll be like hell on earth!" she said.
"C'mon, guys!" Lisa Freach (pronounced 'freak'), the group's optimist said brightly. "They're not that bad........they're just a little........immature, that's all!"
Lily, Sarah and Andrea stared at her incredously.
"And.......annoying, perverted, arrogant, overly smart, teachers pets. Grace, what do you think?" she said, turning to where a small blonde lay on her bunk reading.
"Whatever," Grace said nonchalantly. "What does it matter? We're all gonna die anyway."
Lisa gave her a reproachful glance, and Lily rolled her eyes.
"She has a point though," Andrea mused. "We are all gonna die anyway.........the Marauders will probably just speed things up a little."
"Thanks for that, Andrea," Sarah said dryly. "Way to brighten up my day."

A/N: sorry for any typos, u know my typing, I suck. Anyway, I haven't described any of the characters looks just yet, so I'll do that next chapter. But remember there'll only be a next chapter if you all review. Oh yeah, and there's a direct quote from one of my friends in there, if she ever reads t she'll know what I'm talking about! Ten at least, please, I need some encouragement. So, and suggestions for the plot would be most welcome too, lots of luv,
