In the first few chapters I will tell a few things from Patricia's first school year at Hogwarts and how the Marauders came to be.

For a girl at the age of 10, who never was out in the crowded public of London that much. A big and crowded place like Kings Cross could be terrifying. The loud noises and the incoming trains although were not the only frightening thing about Kings Cross. Kings Cross was an old Train Station. The old cream coloured stones that already started o brick, the high wall which was full of Birds, mostly ravens and pigeons and the noises that echoed in the halls only helped creating that frightening atmosphere. The little girl walking along at her parents side looked around totally frightened. She watched around all those people where taller and older than her. When they reached the platforms 9 and 10 the girl finally saw some children. "Mommy, when will we get to Platform 9 ¾?" the small girl asked. Suddenly a boy in front of her stopped. "We're nearly there Cat. We only have to go through that wall then we see the Train." The boy who obviously was the girl's brother said. The Boy suddenly ran through the wall between Platform 9 and 10. The girl got scared again, but then her parents firmly grabbed her by the Hand and ran with her through the wall as well. Suddenly many children and their parents were standing on the platform waving goodbye. There was a huge Red Train with the sign "Hogwarts Express" on it. "James! Wait for us. We want to say goodbye to you!" the girl's mother yelled after the boy. He came back hugged and hugged all of them. When he wanted to leave his sister ran to him again hugged him and bagged him not to go, because she would miss him very much. "Hey Cat, next year this time, it's your turn to drive with that train the first time, and we'll be together all year. I promise." James said and hugged his sister. "Sweet little sister you have there." A boy said to him. "Oh, thank you. Are you a first year as well?" James asked. "Yeah I am. My name is Sirius by the way." The Boy looked very good in Cathrina's opinion. He had almost black Hair that hung into his eyes and his brown eyes twinkled as she looked into them. Somehow he remembered her on James. That mischievous way that boy just grinned was the same way James did it when ever he pranked at someone. "Hi My name is James. And that is my little sister Cathrina. She will go into Hogwarts next year." He said an Sirius smiled at Cathrina. Suddenly a black haired girl appeared next to Sirius. "Oh yeah, this is my cousin Patricia. She is a first year too." Sirius introduced his cousin. "Guy's I think we should get into the train. I leaves exactly at 11 o'clock so we have only ...2 minutes left." Patricia said and pulled sirius infront of her. "Bye Cat, I will owl you very often okay? And I'll be back for Christmas, so look forward to that." James said waving one last time before he got into the train with his new found friends. They went through the whole train, but all compartments were full, except from one. Only one boy was sitting there clenched into a corner with his old clothes. "Can we come in? Everywhere else is full." James asked politely. The boy looked at them. "sure if you really want to be with me in one compartment." "Why wouldn't we? It's not like you'd bite would you?" Patricia asked smiling. The boy however, didn't smile. " N-no I'don't bite, for now." A weak grin appeared on the boys face. "So why are you so alone in here?" James asked. "All the others don't like me, think I'm too ugly to talk to." "Hey if they think you're ugly, then it's their problem not yours." Sirius said seriously. "Sirius is right. You're not ugly just because you're wearing those clothes. In fact I don't see anything ugly on you. It would be ugly if your hair would by slimy as Lucius Malfoy has. And that you obviously don't. So don't be upset if someone calls you ugly." Patricia said. She sounded a lot older than she actually was. " By the way, I'm Patricia." "James." "Sirius" "My name is Remus, pleased to meet you. And thank you very much for cheering me up. You know I didn't have much contact with other kids until now." Remus said. "Well then lets practice it shall we? Let's go outside for a moment. I want to explore the train." Sirius said. "But aren't we supposed to stay in our compartments?" Remus asked hesitating on standing up. "So? Here are no adults. Who wants to check if we follow the rules?" Sirius asked. James and Patricia just nodded so Remus stood up and all went up the train. When they came to the toilets suddenly the door opened and a boy fell out. "Hey!" Sirius said as he and the boy fell on the floor. "I-I'm very sorry. I-I didn't mean t-to hurt you." The boy said and ran back into his compartment. Suddenly someone came. "What are you four doing here? You should be in your compartments. " W-we didn't know about that, we're first years you know. And by the way we had to go to toilet." Sirius said. "All four of you together?" the older boy asked. "No I have to go to the girl's room and they to the boys room of course, we know about that." Patricia said. "Don't play me like a fool. I'm Prefect! You can call yourself lucky that you're not already sorted, or your houses would just have lost points." The tall guy said. "And what house are you in. I bet you wouldn't take points from your own house would you?" Sirius asked provocating the much older student. "Of course not. I want Slytherin to win the house cup this year. Not this filthy Mudblood house Gryffindor." The guy said and another guy came out of the compartment. "Hey McNare, are you teasing first years again? Should I help?" a blond haired guy asked. Then he looked at Patricia. "Oh look she would be an excellent Slytherin. Her black Hair her beautiful face. Just perfect." He said going around Patricia. "Leave her alone!" Sirius yelled he didn't fear that guy. "And who are you?" "That is my filthy cousin Sirius Black, he hates our ways Lucius there's no way on changing his mind. His mother tried by beating the crap out of him, but it didn't help." A Blond girl said stepping out of the compartment. "No body asked you Black!" McNare snared at her. "Really? You are Sirius Black? I wanted to meet you since Narzissa here told me about you. I couldn't believe a Black changing sites, but yes here is the prove. Strutting around with a Potter and that Lupin guy. And you girl, what do you have to do with him? I can help you turn to the better site if you want to. By the way, I'm Lucius Malfoy." He said smiling at her. "So, do you want to join us in our compartment?" Lucuis asked stretching his hand out for helping Patricia into his compartment. "No thank you I'd rather stay with my REAL cousin Sirius, for I can't call Narcissa a REAL cousin. She is too … ugly to be related with me." Patricia said looking at Narcissa who glared at her as if she wanted to kill her. McNare and Malfoy grinned. "So you must be Patricia Phillips right? Yeah you must be, you obviously can't be a Weasley, because you have no red hair, so there's only one part of the Black family left that stands against the opinions of the noble Salazar Slytherin." "NOBLE? ARE YOU NUTS? Slytherin was …" Sirius started but Patricia pulled him away, she didn't want to pull off a fight the first time they drove to Hogwarts. So the four friends went back to their compartment without saying a word. When they got in it Sirius just stared at Patricia like the other two boys. "That guy … he checked you out!" Sirius said shocked. "What?" Patricia asked stunned. "That Malfoy guy checked you out! He even looked at your ass and breasts!" "It's not like there is something that he could check out at the point were my breasts should be Sirius!" Patricia said. Suddenly James and Remus looked exactly to that point. Patricia immediately put her hands up so that both boys couldn't see anything. "HEY!" she looked at Remus and James for a moment and they looked around as if they'd done nothing. "Okay … well what house would you like to get in?" Remus asked. "Gryffindor for me" "Yeah me as well." "The same here. And you?" "Well Gryffindor aswell." Remus said and all laughed. So they all had something in common. Suddenly a girl entered the compartment. "You should change to your school uniform we should be at Hogwarts anytime now." "It is appropriate to introduce himself before telling other people what they should do." Sirius said smirking at the really beautiful girl. "Well I'm sorry. I'm Johanna Longbottom. My brother Frank is Prefect and he asked me to tell all first years like me to put on their things." She explained. "Okay. To be polite. My name is Sirius Black." "Remus Lupin." "James Potter." "Patricia Phillips. Nice to meet you, Johanna. Please sit down with us for a little while." Johanna sat down and they talked about what they expect from Hogwarts and what they already know about it. "Well I know, that the sealing of the great hall is jinxed so it looks like the sky outside." All looked at Remus astonished that he knew that. "How do you know?" Johanna asked. "Don't tell me you haven't read 'Hogwarts: A History'" Remus looked at all the others. Their expressions told him they hadn't. "Well you should. There are written many things. For example how the four founders builded the school and what they wanted from the students that came into their houses. That's how I decided I wanted to be in Gryffindor, even though the hat might sort me into Ravenclaw." Remus explained, but there was no time for the others to ask why, because the train stopped. They all got our of the train. "FIRST YEARS THIS WAY!" a voice shouted. Patricia searched for the origin of that voice and when she saw it she stood still. There was a gigantic man right in front of her. "Ya don't need to be frightened, I won't bite ya. I'm Rubeus Hagrid, but just call me Hagrid." The man said looking down at Patricia. "I-I'm not scared Hagrid." Patricia said. Sirius ran into her and looked up at Hagrid and reacted just like Pat had a few minutes ago. "You don't need to be frightened Sirius, that's Hagrid." Patricia said acting as if she hadn't been afraid at her first meeting with Hagrid. "FIRST YEARS THIS WAY" Hagrid screamed again and all first years went with him to the lake where boats were waiting to bring them across the lake.

When they arrived an old woman was standing on the stairs as if she had waited for the first years. "Hello I'm Professor McGonagall, head of Gryffindor house and deputy headmistress of Hogwarts. For you came to Hogwarts the first time, I will tell you that you soon will be sorted into your houses. Your house is likewise your family for the time being here. You will win or lose points for your houses. By doing good things you will earn points If you break rules you will loose house points. There are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Now please wait till I bring you into the great hall if were ready for your approaching." Then Professor McGonagall left again. "She seems really strict." Sirius said to the others. "She is Sirius, she is. She is my aunt. She can be really nice, but also terribly strict." James said.

"Well than we shouldn't prank her too bad." Sirius said smirking. "You want to prank the teachers?" a small boy asked. It was the boy that fell onto Sirius in the Hogwarts express. "I want to prank everyone once in a while." "My mom doesn't call him a Marauder for no reason." Patricia said and slapped Sirius lightly on the shoulder. "Well then from now on our group should be called 'The Marauders', because I will help Sirius prank the teachers and all the others, I hope you'll help us." As James suggested this idea, all nodded. So it was set James, Remus, Patricia and Johanna were from now on called "The Marauders".
