"Oh Jamsiepoo! I'm here! Wake up! It's the one-and-only, the great SIRIUS BLACK!!!!"
"Ugh. The great ~buffoon~ Sirius Black. Who doesn't let any one get any sleep!" James grumbled as he put his pillow over his head.
"Tell me about it Prongs." It was the voice of Remus Lupin, the sensible one in the group. "He waltzed right into my room at 6:30 am with Dungbombs. ~YAWN~ Can you believe that!?!"
"You know, Jamsiepoo, I still have some left, do you want me to--"
"No! I'm up, I'm up. Now watduhyouwant, you great big buffoon?" James stifled a huge yawn and sat up, looking at Sirius with an annoyed glare.
The three 17-year-olds formed a group known famously as the Marauders, the biggest trouble-makers Hogwarts has ever seen. They were an odd group. Sirius Black, the source of exuberance for the group, had long black hair and a sturdy, muscular build. Remus Lupin was the quiet one, reading books all the time, often nicknamed the 'Lone Voice of Truth', who was as active as Sirius in the pranks. Then there was James Potter, the ringleader, who earned (along with Sirius) the most-wanted-by-women award with his confident stance and casual, musclar build.
The trio used to be a four-some, but the last member, Peter Pettigrew, a fat, twitchy boy who lacked the courage and brains of the other three. So, natrually, he left the group. Not that anyone cared.
"Tsk, tsk Prongs. I think you should improve on that attitude while the ladies are here." said Black, shaking his finger at James.
"LADIES! What ladies! Moony?" Remus nodded his head sadly. "You can't be serious!"
"Actually, I am serious. Sirius Black!" James gave Sirius his death stare. So Sirius continued, "Hey, it's not my fault, Prongs! Ease up a bit! It was your parent's idea. Even though I approve of it doesn't mean I--"
"I'm gonna talk to them, later today! I've got to change their minds!" James yelled. "And Moony, who's side are you on right now?" But Remus just started picking at his fingernails.
Finally, he wisely stated, "I'm on both of your sides. The girls might be really annoying, like they normally are, or they could be useful for pulling pranks on, for practice. I say it's a 50/50 thing."
James thought for a minute. "When you put it that way Remus........ok, fine! Now I'll get my owl and--"
"James, you no how your parents are," said Sirius maliciously, "they want us to escort them! Nice try old buddy." He slapped James on the back and shook his head in fake sympathy. Then Sirius yelled gleefully, "I get Taryn! Lupin can have Juliana, she's the quiet one. You can have Lily, James! See how that turns out!"
Taryn, Lia (Juliana), and Lily were best friends since the 1st year. If you wanted girls who weren't ditzy, they were the ones. And if you wanted to get turned down on a date, invitation to a ball, or just even dancing, they were the ones. Then there was their friendships. SOMEhow, Taryn and Lia were tolerant of the three Marauders, but Lily and James were sworn enemies. Somewhere along the way, their friendship never clicked. The only person James despiesed more than her was Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape, to Slytherin gits.
So then Remus and Sirius departed through the fireplace, each going to their 'assigned' house. James sighed. *At least their all in Griffindor!* he thought. This was going to be a long day.
