The Marauders: Their First year

Disclaimer: well of COURSE I own the Harry Potter series. Shouldn't you have realised by now? JK Rowling owns everything except the stuff I made up

Ok this one is seriously lame, but I thought it would be funny to write a Marauders fanfic, set when they were in their first year.

Chapter 1 - To Hogwarts

James looked around for his two friends, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, on Platform 9 ¾, and sure enough, they were there, grinning at him from just beyond the barrier. James disentangled himself from his parents and ran over to them. The three had been friends since five and (to the horror of their parents) had caused many pranks.

"I wonder if we can find someone to prank on our first day of school," James mused. Remus and sirius beamed at him, the same thought on both their minds.

Just then, a fat boy waddled up. He had a large, flabby face and porky hands. "Are you James Potter?" he said. James gave him a strange look and nodded. The boy smiled, showing his gums. "Permit me to introduce myself. Mummy always says I should be polite to new people. I'm peter pettigrew."

"Wonderful," Sirius said expressionlessly. "Bye." He made to turn away, but Peter caught hold of his arm. "Wait!" he squeaked. "My mummy'll kill me if I don't talk to a fellow student on the first day. She'll spank me! Just say hello and goodbye, and I'll go."

"Fine. Goodbye and hello," Remus said, exchanging glances with the other two. Evidently this boy was a bit of a joke. (A/N I hate Peter, so don't blame me if I make him over-wimpy) He'd be good to prank. "Saatisfied?"

Peter gave a whoop of delight, and threw his arms around Remus's neck. Coughing slightly, he disengaged peter's arms from around his neck and glared at the other two, who were shaking with silent laughter. "Shut up,' he snapped irritably, as soon as peter was out of earshot. "I'd like to see you with a wimp around your neck!"

"Remus and Peter, sitting in the train, hissing while it begins to rain!" Sirius sang cheerfully.

James gave him a withering look. "Did you know you are the WORST and LAMEST poet, not to mention irrelevant, I have ever seen, Sirius black."

Sirius pretended to cry. "Boo hoo, mummy, Jamsie called me lame, Mummy, spank him mummy Mummy boo hoo hoo I'm Peter pettigrew Mummy." It took both Remus and james to bonk him over the head to shut him up

Just then, a whistle sounded and the Hogwarts express arrived. All three boys said goodbye to their parents and climbed aboard the magnificent train, lugging their trunks. Luckily peter was nowhere to be seen, so they were not worried about a fat and annoying boy tagging onto them in the train.

"C'mon, lets go look for some good seats," James said, and the three wandered through the train looking for seats as the Hogwarts Express set off from Kings Cross station. Finally, they came to a carriage with only on inhabitant, a red-headed girl. Remus cautiously opened the compartment door and peered inside. "Um.excuse me.are we disturbing you, or can we sit here?"

"Oh yes, no problem," the girl replied in a slightly bored voice. Then, "OUCH!" James and sirius had stumbled into the carriage and landed on top of the girl, toppling her to the floor.

"You know, this really is a good place," James said cockily, grinning at Sirius, sitting on the girl's trunk and taking up her seat, while placing his feet lightly on her stomach."why don't we stay here?"

"Aye aye, captain," Sirius chirped, throwing a mock salute. The girl was panting and gasping and struggling to get her feet under her and somehow managed to get the strength to kick out with her feet, sending the two boys tumble off and lie sprawled on the floor. "GET OFF!" she bellowed, glaring at them.

"Pardon me, ma'am," Sirius bowed to her, not able to hide his laughter. James, however, jumped on her again and pinned her to the ground, then sat on her suitcase again, placing his feet on her stomach. "Nice place, really," he piped up, happily bouncing on it and swinging his legs. The girl puffed and wheezed, but james took no notice. "what's your name, anyway? I'm James Potter." He scrambled off, leaving her room to breathe and talk.

"Why should I tell you?" the girl snapped.

"Because if you don't, we'll sit on you for the entire trip to hogwarts," James said pleasantly. He made to lunge at her again, to prove his point, but she neatly sidestepped him. "Fine. My name's Lily Evans, if you really must know," she said between clenched teeth.

"Lily? What a weird name for such a weird person."

That was it! Lily got to her feet. "GET OUT!" she screamed. "GET OUT OR I'LL SCREAM THE TRAIN DOWN AND REPORT YOU TO THE HEADMASTER!"

"Really? Detention on the first day, yippee, yippee," Sirius chanted. James gave him one of his trademark 'looks'. "Your wish is our command, O Fiery Evans," James said mockingly. He beckoned to the other two, who, both wearing identical grins, opened the door, and then left with him. Lily breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go back to her skygazing at the evening sky when the compartment door slid open again and three bimboish girls walked in.

"Ooh Jane, have you got the latest copy of witch Weekly?" (A/N I know it probably wouldn't have been around in their time but this is MY story) Sirius squealed, putting on a high-pitched voice and looking VERY out of place in a dress.

"Of COURSE, Serena, how could I not?" James said, battering his eyelashes, which were obviously fake.

"Did you hear about the new band, The Weird Sisters?" Remus shrilled, evidently feeling uncomfortable with all the magical makeup.

"Oh yes, Rochelle, how wonderful!" Sirius said enthusiastically. Then he pretended to see lily. "Why, who are you?"

Lily slowly turned around.

A/N I know that was a weird place to stop, but I thought it would create you know, suspense to see how Lily reacts. Besides, apart from the fact that lily's going to throw one of her temper tantrums at them, I don't know how to write it but I DON'T have writers block I assure you. Besides it's the holidays and I am only in year Seven so I should have plenty of time. I know its pretty lame but pleeezzz review! puppy dog eyes. Oh yeah, I just realised that I won't have time in these holidays because I have to study for my yearlies but I'll do the best I can. And I know Remus seems a little tooi
