Chapter 1: Chapter 1-Train to Hogwarts


Hello Hogwarts! James Potter here. It looks like I've managed to nick Remus' notes before he notices, so until then, I present to you a lovely excerpt of the Marauders' fairly ridiculous years at our beloved school for witchcraft and wizardry, beginning with our second year. Should you choose to read further, you'll find comedy, generously provided by myself and my friends, the ultimate friendship, and, if Evans ever decides to stop hexing me, some romance as well. (But don't even get me started on that Sirius Black and his crush on Remus. The lengths he'll go to deny it are ridiculous.) So go on! Read and enjoy the tales of a fairly absurd group of four boys as they find the fun in normalcy of life as young wizards. Oh, and I almost forgot! We would really appreciate any reviews and comments. Thanks!


POV's:

R: Remus Lupin/Moony

S: Sirius Black/Padfoot

J: James Potter/Prongs

P: Peter Pettigrew/Wormtail


R: Who is this girl? Do any of you know? I think I've seen her in the common room before.

S: That's the one James wouldn't shut up about, I think. Evans, right? Was that her name?

J: Lily, I think. Lily Evans. She's nice. She gave me her slice of pie once when I got to dinner late.

R: I think I've seen her in the library. She hangs out with that dark haired guy. Severus, I think? The one that's really good at potions.

S: The slimy one? What does she want with him? James is not going to be happy about that.

P: He knows. I think that's the reason he doesn't like him.

R: It's either that or the fact that he's the only guy in our year who is better at him at potions.

S: I think the fact that he's a Slytherin doesn't help his case either.

R: Probably.

J: Hey, do any of you know why Lily is in here, anyways?

R: I think she said something about it being the only available place.

S: It's not exactly available, it's got four people in it…

R: Well, to be fair, she was here before we got here..

S: Maybe, but there's more of us.

R: She's not really bothering anyone, though.

P: James looks pretty bothered.

...

P: Remus!

R: Stop snickering, she'll hear you.

S:He's got a right to laugh! That was funny!

P: Remus is making his annoyed overlord of the idiots face again.

R: I am not!

S: You kind of are, mate. It's a talent.

R: AM NOT.

S: Yes, you are. That facial expression right there. That one. That's it.

R: Oh wait, she's leaving the room. Hope Prongs didn't scare her away.

J: So, what do you fellas think about Lily? She's quite pretty, don't you think? I mean, she hexed me when I told her that, but still. I don't think she likes me very much. She will though. I am determined.

Wait, what was that about scaring Evans away? I would never do such a thing! I am a joy. An absolute love to be around.

S: Yes, dear, you're a delight.

P: I mean, Lily doesn't think so, but you are!

S: You are definitely wonderful, although Lily and pretty much everyone else ever don't think so.

J: I hate you guys. Have I mentioned that before?

R: Wait, guys, stop talking. We're here!
