Oh, hello.

You must be the snoop who decides to risk themself by trying to figure out what actually happened during the Marauders' time. Well, risk yourself. I'm not stopping you.

Sorry, did I introduce myself?

I'm Sirius Black, and yes, I am a pureblood wizard. I come from a long line of evil Slytherins, and no, I do not intend to be evil. My family is proud of being pureblood, and they think muggleborns are disgraceful. Well, speak for yourself, Mother. Any witch or wizard, muggleborn or not, deserves an equal chance in the wizarding community, just like anyone else.

Now, let's stop with my family. Did I tell you about the amazing prank I pulled off a week before I left for Hogwarts? Man, it was amazing. I made these things called-

Wait. Sorry, James is telling me to stop talking about pranks.

Okay, fine. Let me tell you about my friends. James and I play quidditch, and James is incredibly obsessed with-

Fine, James, I'll stop talking about your love life.

Anyways, back to quidditch. James is a chaser, and I am the beater for the Gryffindor team. We both love quidditch, and we are always ready to take down the Slytherins. One really annoying Slytherin would be Snape.

Severus Snape. Or, Snivellus, as we like to call him.

He is a half - blood idiot who hates muggleborns (besides one).

Anyways, enough about that idiot. Back to me and my friends. We are a gang of four: Peter, me, James, and Remus. We call ourselves the Marauders, and we also have individual names for each other. Interested? Well..

My name is Padfoot, Remus is Moony, James is Prongs, and Peter is Wormtail.

We are quite the interesting bunch, if I do say so myself.

Hi, I'm James, James Potter. I am the heir to an incredible amount of riches and wealth, and yet, I couldn't care less about money.

What I do care about is my friends- the Marauders and Lily Evans. I also care about standing up for what is right, magic, and wizardry! I am a pureblood, but I am not like the other purebloods. Neither is Sirius, my best friend. We're what people would call 'blood traitors'.

Ugh. Who cares?

Many people think I have no feelings, and that I'm just a player who doesn't care about anybody. Lily Evans, my crush, has assured me multiple times that I am an "arrogant toe-rag".

Well, she doesn't know much about me, does she?

I may act all arrogant on the outside, but that's not true on the inside.

You know what? Nevermind. Just.. I have emotions, okay?

I love quidditch. I'm a chaser on the Gryffindor team, andSirius is a beater alongside me. I am an animagus, (for my friend Remus) but nobody knows about this. Except for maybe Dumbledore, but he honestly knows EVERYTHING.

My nemesis is Severus Snape. He is in Slytherin House, and he is the best friend of Lily Evans.

Don't even get me started on him. Severus Snape is a half-blood (idiot) in Slytherin House with a deep hatred for Gryffindors.

Yeah, that's right.

My name's Severus, and I am a proud half - blood wizard (I am not an idiot, mind you). If you're a Muggle, then take your puny eyes off this. If you don't know what that is, then stop reading. This is only meant for people in the wizarding community, and if you're a Muggle, mark my words, you will be cursed.

Anyways, my name is Severus. No nicknames. Just Severus to you. Hogwarts is an okay school, I guess. It would be greatly improved if all the mudbloods get out (besides one) and all the purebloods and half - bloods remain (besides one exceptional Muggleborn). Most of the teachers are a complete nuisance, especially the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I would be a much better professor in that subject, even if I am a fifth year attending Hogwarts. But, truth be told, I know much more hexes, curses, and spells than any lot of you do.

Now, if you would like a brief background, I am a fifth year attending Hogwarts. My best friend is Lily Evans. Although I am of Slytherin House, - the best of them all - I am still friends with an exceptionally smart Gryffindor. One of the horrible additions to Gryffindor House would be those filthy Marauders. I shall not go deep into explanation, because they don't even deserve to be mentioned here.

Today, I start the narration of my tale, beginning from the first day of my fifth year at Hogwarts.

I would say "enjoy" but I do not have time for pleasantries as such.

Hi. I'm Lily Evans. I'm a witch.

Confusing? Yeah… it was for me too.

You heard me right. Was. I'm a witch and I've accepted it. Life as a witch isn't that bad, really.

Oh, wait! Are you a muggle? Ummm… if you are human I just want you to know that I was joking! Definitely joking… and um, you really shouldn't be reading this… I mean my life is pretty boring, so…

Bye, muggles! UH, I mean humans!

Now that that's settled.

Welcome witches and wizards!

My name is Lily Evans, and I am a witch! How are you all? I am great… ish. Let me explain more about my life, why don't I?

I am a Gryffindor, and my best friend is Severus Snape (Sev) who is in Slytherin house. My other best friends are Alice Sline and Mallory Halnice, who are in Gryffindor with me. I am a muggleborn, yet I am the best witch in my grade. Many people don't accept my friendship with Sev, Alice and Mallory included. Another one of those people is James Potter, part of the Marauders gang. The Maruaders consist of Sirius Black (the prankster), Remus Lupin (the nice one), Peter Pettigrew (the dumb one) and James Potter (the leader, the flirt, and all of the above (except for nice)).

I don't like any of them.

Well, except Remus that is. Like I said, Remus is nicer than the rest. He's kinder to me, and takes pity on me when the boys prank me.

This story… well I don't know what this story is about. I can't predict the future, now can I? Well, let's hope that I can survive the next few years at Hogwarts, beginning from today, the first day of my fifth year at Hogwarts!

That's right! Today is the first day of our fifth year at Hogwarts!

Hello, I am Remus Lupin, the exact one that Lily mentioned above.

Oh, I almost forgot! Thank you for that kind compliment, Lily!

Now, on with my life, as we all seem to be doing. Well then, I am Remus Lupin, and I have a secret. A big secret.

I can tell you, but you can't tell anybody, alright? I'm a werewolf. I have to go to the Whomping Willow tree every full moon to transform. My best friends, the Marauders, found out, and they didn't shun me. They continued to remain friends with me, and liked me as I was (am).

And that means the world to me.

Instead, they learned how to become animagi: James is a stag, Peter is a rat, Sirius is a dog, and they always accompany me to the Whomping Willow. They are the best friends anybody could ask for.

They are enemies with Severus Snape, which annoys me to no end. Of course, Snape isn't a kind person, but that doesn't mean that James and Sirius can pick fights with him ALL THE TIME, just because he is a Slytherin.

Is there more to that story? HECK YES. But that's what you are going to have to read on and find out about.

We're a confusing bunch, us Marauders.

What with James crushing on Lily, Lily hating James, Sirius picking fights with his brother Regulus, Peter being scared, me being a bookworm…

Ah, there is so much more I could say, but I won't.

You should read on and find out how much FUN we had in fifth year.

Well, how much fun we will have. I can't tell the future, y'know.

Enjoy, reader, as you are now entering into a land of crazy crushes and lovesick fools with snooty bastards who curse and battle….

Welcome, to the Marauders Year of Mischief: Fifth Year.
