The Introduction
M.C's title: Understanding the Characters so I Don't Have to Tell you During the Actual Story
M.C Note: So. Finally. It has come…my fanfiction! Here, I'm introducing the characters and no, it is NOT part of the story. It's kinda like a prologue. So. Enjoy!
The Disclaimer: Those characters that you recognize are probably not mine. The ones that have originated in my head, are mine. After all, they did come from my head…

The Ladies:
Lily Marie Evans
Have you ever kept track of the stock market? You know, like, how one stock is up, and another's dropped? Well, I feel like the stock market. You see, when I entered my 4th year here at Hogwarts, I was suddenly the object of any person with a Y chromosome if you know what I mean. My stock shot up. I had dates every Hogsmeade weekend, and even dates in between. I'm not very interesting, 5' 4", auburn hair, and green eyes. But, during that year, something very strange happened. James Potter gave me the googly eyes…
Kayla Gwen Shaw
Lily and I have been friends for like, ages. I mean, the only person who knows her better is like, her. Seriously. And I'm doubting if she knows herself that well.
But that's not the point. The point is, that Lily is suffering from a disease. A very fatal disease if not treated. You see, Lily is suffering from what I'd like to call UDS. Ugly Duckling Syndrome. Yeah. What does that mean? Just look at Lily and she's the perfect definition of it.
Me? I'm not. I have wavy, black hair, half Asian, and stand at an imposing 5 feet 6 and one half inches. At least, it's imposing in my circle of friends. Elsewhere, not so much. My eyes are the color of chocolate, or poop, as Morgan so loves to call it. Except she uses the other word, and I'm pretty sure you know what I'm talking about.
Anyways, after 2 years of listening to Lily's constant complaining, Morgan and I have teamed up to find her the perfect bachelor. Or not a bachelor.
Morgan Brie Jacobson
First, let me get this straight: I hang out with guys more than girls. We got that? Good. If you ever plan on keeping your eyes, you should stay away from Yo Mama jokes and That's What He/She Said kind of things.
So, my best buds are the Marauders and then come Lily and Kayla. Of course, I go to Lily for educational stuff and…Kayla if I ever need someone to rile up. You should see her when I tell her her eyes are the color of shit. She claims it's chocolate. Give me a break.
But, surprisingly, we've both gotten sick of hearing Lily moaning and groaning of all the pervs in the school. I hang out with those supposed pervs and you don't see me getting felt up. Anyways, we've teamed up to slap a metaphorical duct tape across her mouth which means to get her a guy. Hopefully a single guy, but after seeing the gleam in Kayla's eyes, I'm not so sure…
The (not-so) Gentlemen:
James Blake Potter
The thrill of the chase. I'm not sure if that's what I'm after in Lily Evans. I know that I like her, and only the Marauders and Morgan know of that. But I don't think they know HOW MUCH. She's like, basically all I think about. I hope nobody's noticed.
When I say 'nobody's noticed' I mean, nobody except Lily. She doesn't even know I'm alive. I think. I'm not that inconspicuous, standing at 6' 4". I'm a whole foot taller than her! How she can not notice me is my question. But Morgan let me in on one of their 'girl secrets'. They're matchmaking for her! She said she'll try and give it a hearty shove in my direction. Maybe this'll work?
Sirius Lex Black
Heh. Heh. Oh, hem…well. Did I tell you that James is in love with Lily? I didn't? Well, I did now. Okay, I think that's enough talking about James' love of Lily now.
You wanted to hear about me? You didn't? Oh…but you're gonna hear it anyways. Well, if you insist. I am undeniably handsome; even ol' Moony has to agree. I have the best hair in Hogwarts, no matter what that Kayla Shaw says. Though she does have really shiny hair. Soft, too.
ANYways, I'm 6' 2" and my eyes are "pools of melted silver" according to Rachel Thompkins. I can't believe I still remember her name. Well, I have tanned skin and I'm buff. Kinda. Not really. Sorta. Okay, so I'm not buff. But I'm buffer than Moony. Heh. Heh.
Remus Case Lupin
Now, if you've heard anything from Sirius, I have to claim that they are all untrue. Every single bit. Except if he mentioned that James has a humongous not-so-secret crush on a particular Lily Evans; that part is probably the only truthful thing in his paragraph. I'm not sure how anybody can trust him with a designated amount of space and actually expect him to stay on the task.
Before you jump to any conclusions, I love Sirius as a brother. We've gone through a lot with my animal issue and I'm forever in debt to him. But, you can only love a dirty-minded brother so much.
A little about myself: I have sandy blond hair, and my eyes are only a couple shades darker. My height isn't quite as impressive as James' since I'm a full 2 inches shorter. But, at least I'm the same height as Sirius. One less thing for him to rub in my face.
Peter Lance Pettigrew
I don't know what kind of sick game my parents were playing when they named me. P.L.P? Are you kidding me? It's like pulp! At least it's better than P.A.P, right? That's what Sirius keeps telling me.
Well, I'm sure the other covered anything significant so I'll just concentrate on me. I'm 5' 6", surprisingly tall for my family; extremely short for a Marauder. I have light brownish hair with light blue eyes. Sirius tells me I look like a mouse, thus my anim— Oh! I said too much!
M.C Note: Well? Well? What did you think? Review, pleasies and thank yous!
