^The Actual Chapter^

~The beginning of the Marauders started one fine day on the Hogwarts express.

*In fact, it was our first day! Prongs and I walked into a compartment, and found ourselves face to face with the weirdest guy I have ever met.

#If we're going to be honest, which for once we are, it was actually Moony who we met. He was alone in the compartment, so we joined him.

+Not long after that, I came in. we got to talking, and found out that we all liked to play pranks.

~We ended up spending most of the journey to Hogwarts planning what was our first prank at the school.

+And our first detention.

*We went up to the castle the way everyone does and all that, and were waiting to be Sorted. McGonagall called out my name, and I walked up. The hat said some very odd things, such as 'you are obvious prankster material, and Gryffindor will appreciate that the most' and put me in Gryffindor.

~Then, of course, I was Sorted into Gryffindor, as were Prongsie and Wormy.

#Moony, what have I told you about calling me Prongsie?

+And me Wormy for that matter.

~Nothing that I can remember. Anyway, we all ate and then skipped happily off to Gryffindor Tower, sniggering the whole time about this real slimeball that was sorted into Slytherin called....

*SEVERUS SNAPE!!!

#Who we will refer to from now on as Slimeball, as he has quite a large part in this little story.

+Moony, Padfoot, stop sniggering.

#Yeah, we know it's funny, but still!

*Let's get back to the story, okay.

~Yes, we plotted into the night, as we were the only boys Sorted into Gryffindor that year. The next day we would be putting our plan into action. And we even had the perfect target.

#Next morning we saw our schedules, and we were all quite glad to see that the only class we had with Slytherins that day was History of Magic. Binns had only died the year before, and it was his first year as a ghost teacher.

*We had all heard that Binns practically ignored his students even when he was alive, so we hoped that because he was now dead he'd ignore a nice little prank.

+Snape and the rest of the Slytherins came in about five minutes late, all looking smug at skipping part of class. Binns didn't even notice them come in, he had already started to lecture about Goblin rebellions.

Harry closed the book with a snap. Ron looked up from where he had been sitting on the other side of the table and listening to Harry read.

"Why'd you stop?"

"It's nearly midnight," Harry replied. "Your mum'll go ballistic if we stay up any later."

"Yeah, I forgot about that."

"Why am I not surprised?"
