Hey lovely readers! So this is a Marauder era story that the FOUR of us (yep you have not one but FOUR sexy writers) here are writing! We are E, T, M and Z and so one of our initials will be at the start of each chapter, telling you who wrote it.
Anyway, the story is about four girls: Lorkin (Lokiana) Avery, Cassie (Cassandra) Lamont, Percy (Persephone) Hawthorn and Morgan (Morgana) Hayes, who are a rather overlooked group in their 6th year at Hogwarts, who, like most other teenagers, are just trying to survive secondary school. They're in Gryffindor at the same time and, coincidentally, in the same year as the infamous Marauders. Entering their sixth year the two groups' worlds collide when they have several memorable encounters with our favourite boys which change the paths that their lives will take for better and possibly for worse...
Well I'll leave you to the story and stop blabbering on, hope you enjoy it!

The Corsairs: Prologue
Thick steam billowed around a bustling, crampt platform full of masses of strangely dressed and excited families and children. They stood in small knots chatting, hauled huge heavy trunks and noisy cages of animals along the platform, and gave rushed farewells to each other as hoards of students clattered merrily onto the awaiting scarlet steam engine.
Already settled snugly in one of the train's many compartments, three sixteen year old girls sat impatiently, as if waiting for something.
One, the shortest, with a neat bob of yellow-blond hair had her nose buried deep in a book as she sat engrossed in the novel; curled cat-like on the otherwise empty seat.
The second, marginally taller with a petite build and long, straight, light brown hair sat opposite the other girl; with her knees drawn to her chest as her hazel eyes gazed dreamily out of the window of the unmoving train.
The last, taller still than both of her friends; with a mass of chin length auburn hair, that was rather bushy and a compact, curvy figure paced the room impatiently, her stormy blue eyes fixed on the compartment door.
"She's going to be late."
The comment came from the blond girl in the corner, her green-blue eyes not leaving the page she was reading.
The other girl stopped pacing and huffed in a slightly annoyed manner and then reluctanty nodded in agreement.
"Your right" she sighed. "then again, when has she ever been on time?"
The previously oblivious brunette by the window, chuckled in agreement at this and the three of the shared one long, knowing; exasperated look.
For a moment they all seemed to reminisce about the aformentioned girl and then as one, the three girls stood up and made their way out of their compartment and towards the nearest carriage door; which had been flung wide to admit the steady stream of students onto the train which had however, began to dwindle as it drew ever nearer to eleven o'clock.
The auburn haired girl cracked a wry smile.
"Well, we might as well make sure she actually gets on the train."
Hope you enjoyed that guys! it's just the opening scene so not too great yet but the rest gets much better and we'll see a lot of our brilliant, sexy Marauders VERY soon!
