Before Harry and Ginny

Kings Cross Station (James)

"Aw come on Evans your no fun!"

"Sirius! What the hell were you thinking! He could have been killed! And Remus, you sold him out just to get back at that git!"

"Hey Dad! Look!"

"Good going son, next stop the Quidditch World Cup!"

"Cool! But dad I'm only 7…"

"Mum! What's wrong? What's happening where's dad…"

"I'm sorry Jennifer, James, he's gone…"

"Dad…"

James woke up suddenly, dreams and nightmares still fresh in his mind. He ran his hand through his hair, and got up form bed. He stepped carefully over his best friend Sirius Black. Sirius had run earlier in the summer, and had come to stay with the Potters. Jennifer and Harold Potter had welcomed him to their home with open arms. The Potter's disliked the Black's, not only for there treatment of Sirius, who was like a second son to them, but because they were a well-known dark family. Sirius, however, could not be any more different from his family. Sure he had inherited his good looks from his family, dark hair that fell over his eyes, and slate gray eyes. But his personality couldn't have been anymore different. Sirius was goofy, fun loving, bender and breaker of rules, heart breaker, wild, loyal, he could make people laugh, and brighten up any room with his eccentric ways. But what really set him apart form his family was the fact that he didn't support the dark lord in the least. It was actually his family who had mad Sirius so eccentric. Sirius hid behind his pranks, his jokes and his million-dollar smile

James walked quietly out the door, and shut it, the snores of his friend immediately cut out. James made his way to the balcony. The balcony was a place for James to think. As he reached the balcony, he leaned on the railing, looking out at the vast acers of land that the potter family owned.

James' mind was a million miles away; he was thinking, about Lily, the girl he had always loved. Sirius, his best friend who had done some stupid things last year, mostly one really stupid, inconsiderate thing.

But what James was mostly thinking about was his father. James' father was an incredible man. He was an auror for the ministry. But in his early days he had been a chaser for England. He was amazing, until he retired from quidditch and became and auror. Being an auror was a hard and dangerous job. It took years of training for his father to become one. But he was one of the best the ministry had ever had.

And then tragedy struck. One day after being in the quidditch pitch, James came home to a huge commotion. There were people from the ministry everywhere. Even a few healers here and there.

"Mum! What's wrong? Where's dad?" James asked pushing his way through the crowd. All he got in return was a teary look from his mother. Then Alastor Moody parted the crowd and made his way to James and his mother.

"I'm sorry Jennifer, James, but he's gone…"

There had been a death eater attack in Diagon Alley. James' father and other aurors were there. There had been a massive attack, but the aurors had the death eaters beat. Until that is, Voldemort came, the aurors were suddenly the ones under attack. They were losing badly. But Voldemort wasn't there to capture Diagon Alley he was there to cause death. And he caused the death of Harold Potter, who tried to duel him, but no one has dueled the dark lord and lived. At Harold's death Voldemort ordered a retreat on his death eaters.

Suddenly a hand was on his shoulder. It was Sirius. "It's okay mate, we, we all miss him, he was like a father to me, let me into his home after running away from mine. He was more my father than those, those, people at Grimuald Place. I'll never forget him, none of us will."

James didn't look at Sirius but at the Potter grounds. Sirius was right; no one would ever forget him. This is one of the moments were he really cherished Sirius' friendship. When he was serious, and not hiding behind his goofy smile.

That same morning at breakfast, Sirius and James were eating like it was there last meal. Sirius was well known for his very large appetite.

"Slow down boys! This isn't your last meal!" Jennifer Potter said smiling slightly. She had tried not to let the death of her husband affect her. But it was, bags were showing under her eyes from lack of sleep, and her energy level was down. But she still tried to act like nothing was wrong.

James and Sirius said goodbye to Jennifer Potter in the car, "Bye Mrs. Potter and thank you," Sirius said giving Jennifer a quick hug. "Bye mom," James said, "It'll be all right." James gave his mom a kiss on the cheek. "I hope your right James, I hope your right."

The car drove of and Sirius and James were left to find there two other best friends. Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. Together these four made up the Marauders. The Marauders were the most popular guys in school, the best looking and caused the most trouble. Almost ever girl wanted them, almost every guy wanted to be them. Well almost every girl liked Sirius, James, or Remus, and almost every guy wanted to be Sirius, James or Remus. No one really wanted to be Peter or date him.

They headed towards the barrier and ran straight through, Sirius didn't look to see were he was going and ran right into, "Hey Remus! Fancy seeing you here!"

"Ouch! Merlin, Sirius that hurt!"

"You love me get over it!"

"Well that's a lie."

"Is not!"

"Is to!"

"Is not!"

"Oh no were not starting this again Sirius!"

"Your no fun."

James watched his friends bicker good-naturedly. Remus Lupin was the quiet one of the group, well usually, not when he was trying to get Sirius to shut up. He had sandy blond hair, and light green eyes. He was usually reading, or helping Sirius and James plan their pranks. But he had a secret, as secret that his best friends had found out about in there third year. A secret that for the most part they had kept. Sirius had once, last year, used the secret to his advantage to get back at a rival, but in doing so he had exposed Remus' secret to him, and nearly killed the guy in the process. If James had not been there, Remus would probably be in Azkaban.

"Where's Wormtail?" James asked using Peter's nickname. He had one as well, Prongs, Sirius' was Padfoot, and Remus' was Moony. The nicknames weren't random at all. Three of the marauders were illegal animagus, James, a stag, Sirius, a dog, and Peter a rat. Remus however was not an animagus.

"I don't know I haven't seen him," Remus said.

"I'm right here!" James, Remus, and Sirius all turned around to see Peter.

"Hey Pete," James said giving Peter a smile.

"So shouldn't we find a compartment?" Peter said pushing his trolley towards the train.

"Yah don't you have a prefect meeting Moony the good?" Sirius teased. For some strange reason James turned red, but didn't say a word. They started towards the train.

Remus shook his head and said, "No, for some reason it's later on the train ride." At that James turned even redder and quickened his pace.

Sirius shot him a look and then said, "Hey do any of you guys know who the Head Boy is, I can't wait to pulls some pranks on that poor pathetic loser."

James stopped and said, "Okay shut up!" Sirius looked at him like he was crazy and then it dawned on him. He started giggling like a little girl, then he was chuckling, then laughing, then it became full on hysterics. He was on the ground pounding it with his fist. "Wh-Why di-dint y-you tell meeee!"

Peter was backing away from Sirius slowly, a look of terror on his face. Remus had figured it out about halfway through chuckling and laughing. He was laughing at Sirius more than at James.

After about a minute of full on hysterics, Sirius pulled him self of the floor his cheeks red. Peter looked at each of the guys, "Ok did I miss something?"

Sirius looked at James and shouted, "YOU'RE HEAD BOY!" James looked away his face like a tomato. Peter's jaw dropped and he started laughing as well.

"Assholes," James muttered, then he cleared his throat and said "I'm going to go to the head's department I'll meet you guys later." With that James left leaving the rest of the marauders behind.

"Come on lets go find a compartment," Remus said. Peter nodded and Sirius didn't bother to answer, he was winking at a 6th year girl passing by. Peter and Remus rolled their eyes, and dragged Sirius away.

"Hey!"

"It's for your own good mate," Peter said. Sirius pouted and let himself be dragged away. "Hey look, Courtney must be here already, Moony," Sirius said wiggling his eyebrows at his friend. Remus turned red, and said in what he thought was a nonchalant tone, "Oh really, were I don't see her." Sirius pointed towards a gathering of males. Sure enough there was Courtney's famous hair.

"I got to say mate, you do have good taste, but she's to studious for me, and quiet, but I bet she makes out great though," Sirius said, Peter chuckled, and both had to dodge a punch by Remus.

"Hey! What was that for?" Peter said incredulously.

"For being an idiot."

"Oh."

They soon found themselves inside the train and in a compartment. A few minutes later the whistle blew and Peter said, "Let's go look around." Remus shrugged and Sirius said, "Whatever, its boring here anyways."

As they walked through the corridor they suddenly heard a shout "Locomortor Mortis!" and the next thing they knew they were pinned to the ground by impossibly heavy trunks.

A voice filled with laughter suddenly said, "We-were s-s-sorry, bout t-that." In between words the person, a girl, laughed hysterically. Then two more voices joined in the laughter.

Sirius was getting annoyed with laughter, seeing that they were laughing at the fact that he had a trunk on top of him and his friends, but mostly him, "I'm glad that you're finding this funny, but could you help me up? I'm losing the feeling in my fingers." Remus then said, "Yes please!" followed by Peter giving out a squeak.

The next thing the guys knew, the trunks were being pulled of off them by three laughing girls. Sirius got his pulled of by a girl with dark brown hair, Stephanie Coleman, Remus' was pulled of by a blond, Courtney Peterson, and Peter got his pulled of by the red head herself, Lily Evans, the girl who had stolen James' heart.

Being the fastest thinker Remus' talked first, "What happened? We were just walking and all of a sudden we get hit by extremely large and heavy trunks."

Not being one to be left out Sirius got up quickly as he said, "Remus aren't you supposed to be the smart one even I know what happened!" Sirius said getting up.

"Oh yes then what happened, all knowing Sirius?" Remus said rolling his eyes, as he got up as well.

"Well we just got hit by extremely large and heavy trunks, obviously!" Sirius said in his 'duh' voice. Everyone groaned, even Peter who was still sitting on the floor. Ignoring everyone's groans Sirius said "Really Peter get of the floor, show some dignity you're a marauder after all!" And of course Peter got of the floor immediately.

Then the brunette who had pulled the trunk of off Sirius rolled her eyes and said, "Oh come on, and you say that like it's some sort of exclusive club!"

Sirius looked at Stephanie and said "Huh! I'm hurt, how could you not know, the Marauders is an exclusive club!"

"No its not stop kidding yourself!" Steph argued back.

"I'm not kidding myself!" Sirius argued as well.

"Yes you are"

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are!'

"No I-"

"AHHH!"

"LILY?" everyone said in unison.

"What's wrong Lil?" The blond, Courtney, asked sounding worried.

"MY HEAD MEETING STARTED 10 MINUTES AGO!" Sirius winced at the volume of Lily's voice.

With that Lily hurried of, leaving her trunk, and her friends behind.

"We'll save you a seat!" Courtney yelled.

"Come on Steph lets go find ourselves seats," Courtney said taking hold of her trunk. Stephanie followed the suite.

"What about Lily's?" Stephanie asked. Before Courtney could answer, Remus, the smart one, used spells on there trunks.

"Thanks Remus!" Courtney said smiling at Remus, who, to Sirius amusement turned slightly red. Steph nodded to Remus and she and Court were turning around when Peter piped up "Why don't you guys sit with us?"

'Remus must be thinking thank you peter about now,' Sirius thought.

The girls however sighed and looked at each other, then they followed the marauders on their way to their compartment. Sirius and Stephanie started back on there argument. Remus was smiling slightly thinking 'Well I know whose Sirius' first girlfriend this year is going to be.' Then he went back to Courtney who was saying "So where's James?"
