Author's note: So I don't know why I decided to write this fan fic but I guess I just really like the idea of these four guys, tight as brothers, going to hogwarts and facing so much and what not.

I wanted to explore into what may have happened at school to them and who they encountered. This was done by adding a character of my own into the situation to narrate the tale of the Marauders and those around them. So I decided to make it a little more interesting by adding something that could easily be left out of the real Marauders story, a girl. Read on young readers, read on. Haha...oh jeez I'm funny...chuckles...what?

Disclaimer: I don't own nothing but my characters that are unfamiliar to the original concept of the Marauder era. Thanks a bunch for the time folks.

Chapter 1

I write this now to try and bring honor to friends of mine who have seen the toughest of times and showed the strength that not many people have the chance to witness more than once in their life. These people have made an outstanding impact on the wizarding world and many of it's occupants.

With a heavy heart I will explain that not all of them had the fortune of surviving the curve balls that life, so very hard, threw their way. But I also relive their stories with pride and honor to have known them. They changed my life for the better and I'm sure they've changed others as well.

I first met the unique group, better known as the Marauders, in my fourth year of education when I was transferred Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I was never expecting to meet them and it was by chance that I became their friend. And I found, at first, four very strange boys.

The first to mention would have to be James Potter. James Potter...well I always see him running his hand through his jet black hair and smiling his goofy grin in an attempt to capture Miss Lily's heart. He was, what I call, the leader of the group. Always strutting around with a sort of egotistical attitude. He hated it when I mentioned his familiar strut and was appalled at the idea. But none the less he cared so much for his friends that it's just... unexplainable. He was a great friend...and loyal...through and through.

The next is none other than James best friend, Sirius Black. Yes, Sirius Black...I had a lot of fun taunting by his name alone, but I soon discovered that his name was exactly what he was running away from. Sirius was probably the most confident of the group. How could he not be with a group of fan girls trailing him every moment of the day worshiping him like a god. He had the good looks just like James and the eyes that made every girl melt...he really was a god. He was nearly as protective of his friends but had a slight issue with trust and arrogance.

And as most groups have...the quite one. Remus Lupin, the bookworm, who had soft looks and a heart of gold. He was the sweetest boy any girl could meet. Although shy, he had times where he spoke out with such strength and it seemed that everybody listened. He was the stone that everyone leaned on and looked to for words of wisdom. Even with his horrible secret, his lycanthropy, he was still a gentle soul in the form of a sandy blonde haired boy with caring blue eyes.

And last but not least of the Marauders was Peter Pettigrew. A small boy with nervous eyes and a mousy appearance but slightly on the cute side. He was often put to the side and became the forgotten one of the group who just followed along. He had a head of mousy grey hair and he was definitely not the brains in the group but was a part of it none the less.

Another of my dearest friends who I simply have to mention is Lily Evans. With her vibrant head of red hair and magnificent green eyes she captured James heart and fooled with his mind. She was definitely the brightest witch of our age and had the heart of a lion, which is why she was in Gryffindor. She was always standing up for what she believed in. And she protected all people who needed it. She was a flower...and my best friend.

All of these people went through a lot and found friends in each other and bonds that will always exist. They all had the heart to love and care and were tested beyond normal expectations. With myself along for the ride all our lives changed and developed into the people who we were meant to be.

So I now give you our tale and how the Marauders and Lily Evans were the ones who were amazing enough to make their dreams, as well as mine, come true.
