AN: This story is really AU so before I start I want to clear some things. First of all the Marauders were at Hogwarts from 1973-1980, because that was easier for me to fit everything in this story as I wanted. That means that Lily go pregnant while she and James were at Hogwarts, and they got married and Lily gave birth to Harry shortly after. Second of all Nymphadora Tonks was born in 1976 which means that she went to Hogwarts from 1986-1994. The same with Charlie Weasley. This means that Tonks is still on Hogwarts(on her last year) when Remus is professor in Defense Against the Dark Arts. And last but not least Tonks is on Gryffindor, and really good friends with the Golden Trio without knowing that they'll meet again a couple years later.

That's was it. On to the story.

Prologue

May 1976.

"Hey guys!" Sirius Black happily said to his three friends around him. "Andromeda have given birth to her child. They're going to name her Nymphadora."

The four boys smiled at each other. They could all recall Sirius' cousins' pregnant belly. They'd all spent Christmas at her place, and thought she wasn't so big at the time, it was clear to them. There had been over five months where they all had waited in excitement on the child to come. And now that she finally was here, they couldn't wait for her to get old enough to learn to be the next generation Marauder. It wasn't something they wanted to tell Andromeda of course. She had been singing about this beautiful baby girl, who were going to be 'oh so feminine', so it wouldn't be good to tell her, that her daughter would be an awesome troublemaker when she finally arrived at Hogwarts.

"And look there's a picture to!" Sirius nearly yelled. He showed his friends a picture of at beautiful little girl, with ash blond hair, and big brown eyes. Well that was what she really looked like, because there were two pictures. On the next one the little girl had gotten bright blue hair, and sparkling green eyes.

"She has the same eye color as Lily." James Potter said, as he finally paid real attention to them. He had been busy gawking at Lily Evans, who was sitting a few seats away from them with some of her friends. Her red hair was shining like flames in the bright sunshine. It might have been that, James stared at.

The chubby boy next to James smiled nervously. His name was Peter Pettigrew. The only reason he was with the three boys, was because he worshipped James, He didn't leave a comment to the picture.

"It's because she's a Metamorphmagus like Andromeda."

The three first boys looked quizzed at the last boy, Remus Lupin. He smiled at their confused looks, and sighed.

"Isn't it oblivious since her mother is one? It's clear; you see that her hair and eyes have changed since the first one. " Remus said and grinned at his friends still confused looks. He looked down at the front page of 'The Daily Prophet' again.

"Ann ask us to come and spend the last week of our summer vacation at her place. Are you up for that?" Sirius asked, and got a nod from two of his friends. "Peter?"

"No I-I can't." the chubby boy stuttered and stared nervously dawn at his plate. Peter didn't like to spend his summers with his friends. He felt like and outsider between them, which he sort of also was.

The four boys had their different places in their relationship. Sirius was the type of guy who always could come up with a joke, and he was loyal to his friends. James could also come up with a joke, but it was him who made sure they all were okay. Remus was the one with the intelligence, and sometimes he would let the other boys copy his homework. He spend a lot of time reading, and is absolutely fine with his friends running of without him, because he knows that they'll always be there for him. And then there's Peter. He's is the one that they possibly will not see when they're done at Hogwarts, but it's only Peter who knows that. The other three doesn't know that Peter is feeling left alone, but it's his own fault. He could just speak out loud if he got a problem. But Peter never did. And that was his problem.

Remus stared at the picture of the little girl, and thought 'prepare yourself, when you get older you're going to get taught to be a Marauder'.
