Chapter One: The Beginning

The students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry were scared. Very scared.

For once there was peace. Sweet, glorious PEACE!

No pranks, no screaming matches, no hexing, no fights, absolutely nothing. Not even name calling! Abso-BLODDY-lutely NOTHING!

All of the students, even some teachers went around with wands drawn, gripped in their hands, looking wary. Older students went around with bubble head charms on to protect themselves from sudden dungbombs, while the juniors huddled together in huge groups, hoping that large numbers would protect them from hazardous spells thrown randomly in a fight.

All of the students that is, except for six students. They were Lily Evans, James Potter, Sirius Black, Addison McKinnon, Remus Lupin and Samantha Wilson.

Or better known as the Gemstones and the Marauders.

It was common knowledge that the two groups loathed each other and were constantly sending the other group's members to the hospital wing because their wands or fists had slipped accidentally.

So it was rather unusual, well actually scary, that they went around laughing, chatting and being civil to each other! None of the usual glares or hexes or rude comments were said, which only helped maintain Hogwarts populations fear of something big happening.

It didn't help that they would only laugh when questioned, and even Maria Hattchet, Sirius Black's latest girlfriend (coughlatestcoughplaycoughtoy) knew nothing.

The only person (besides the two groups) who understood the unusual situation was the headmaster, Professor Dumbledore himself.

A/N: Hey you guys! How's life? I know I haven't written in a long time and haven't updated too, but I've been too busy doing other stuff, mainly sleeping and reading fics, to write.

Anyway, I'm not sure how long I should make this one. Should it be one of those tiny five chapter ones, or those 20 something chapters one? And no, the chapters aren't going to be big, they'll probably only be as big as the 1st chapter. Please Review! xoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxox
