Hey Readers, really excited about this story because I get to write about the Marauders and their adventures at Hogwarts. I really hope you enjoy the story. So let's begin. Enjoy! Review! Many Thanks, Your Loyal Writer...


Katie's POV:

I had never been so nervous in my life. I was practically shaking. I was excited too, of course. If nothing else it would be good to escape my cruel parents and their horrid friends.

We took a taxi to Kings Cross Station. From there my Mother and Father marched Sev and I up past all the muggles until we came to platforms 9 and 10. In between them was a brick wall. My father put his hand firmly on mine and Sev's shoulder and pushed us through the wall which had seemed quite solid. When we reached the other side we were joined by Mother who directed us towards the scarlet train, The Hogwarts Express. She helped us put our trunks on the train and emotionlessly kissed our cheeks before saying goodbye coldly. We turned to Father who shook Sev's hand and wished him luck. Sev stepped aside and Father glared down at me.

"Do as your brother says Katelyn and make sure you obey every one of Slughorn's commands. do I make myself clear?" He hissed.

"Crystal." I muttered.

Sev and I nodded to our parents before jumping onto the train.

"You can sit with me if you wish Katie." My twin brother offered.

"No thanks Sev. No doubt you'll be sitting with that cow Bellatrix and I simply cant put up with her! No, I'll make my own way. Thank you though Severus." I decided.

He nodded briskly and I hugged him in an awkward brother sister way.

I walked down the train corridor a while and found an empty carriage I sat down and let out my Black kitten, Midnight. She curled up on my lap and I looked out of the window.


"Katie!" a voice cried from behind me.

"Sirius!" I exclaimed.

Sirius Black was my best friend. His parents were my parents greatest acquaintances- of course pure bloods don't have friends. I spent half my life at the Blacks house. There was Andromedra, Bellatrix and Narcissa- Sirius' cousins. Andromedra was fifteen, Bellatrix was our age and Narcissa was the year below. Then there was Sirius and his year-younger brother, Regulus.

If it wasn't for Sirius I don't think I would have made it this far. Our families were Slytherins but Sirius and I were determined to be Gryffindor! Andromedra was the only other family member to break the house of snakes tradition. She is Hufflepuff.

"It's so good to see you!" I laughed jumping up and wrapping my arms around his neck. As I looked over his shoulder I saw two others.

"Can we come in? Everywhere else is full." Sirius asked.

"Sure." I agreed.

Sirius sat opposite me and one of the other boys sat by him, the other by me.

"I'm James Potter and that is Remus Lupin." The boy next to Sirius introduced.

"Katelyn Snape. But you can call me Katie, Sirius and Sev do." I replied.

"Urgh, Snivilus!" Sirius groaned.

"Oh Sirius please don't call him that! His name is Severus." I moaned back at him.

"Snivilus is Katie's twin brother. He'll be a Slytherin." Sirius spat.

I sighed deeply. "He's not as bad as your brother though. Regulus is so far up your parents behinds I don't know where they end and he starts." I hissed.

James snorted and Sirius made a face but nodded.

"I swear, as soon as I can I'm gonna disown that family. All of them; except Andromedra." The young boy sneered.

"So," I said changing the subject. "Tell us about yourselves, James, Remus."

"Not much going on with me. I just live with my parents in our Manor in London." James admitted.

"I live with my parents too. Just us. My dad's a wizard, my Mum's a muggle." Remus explained and then hung his head realising he'd just admitted his blood status.

I leaned in and whispered in his ear. "Don't worry Remus, I don't know James but from what I do know, no one will judge you. And if they do I shall curse their backsides off!"

Remus went red and blinked a lot. He seemed to be in shock that I had stuck up for him, or even talked to him at all!

Sirius then produced a pack of cards and the four of us began a game of exploding snap.


When the trolley witch came with her sweets and treats to sell; I noticed that Remus was a few coins short so, when he wasn't looking, I slipped a couple of galleons into his moneybag. He looked very confused to find himself richer than he thought. He turned to me and I shrugged.

I don't think he rumbled me.
