~The First Adventure of the Marauders

          ~The aforementioned first available opportunity presented itself two weeks later, after the insufferable teacher, who unfortunately was head of Slytherin, therefore ensuring that all Slytherins could get away with anything, had tormented us in Potions.  We snuck out that Saturday night and followed Malfoy back to his common room and began to 'redecorate.'  We, and by we I mean I, planted a magical listen device that would allow us to hear the reaction to our painting the next morning.

@Humble, aren't you?  I believe that I had the idea to repaint the Slytherin dorms.

#No, you didn't.  And we didn't follow Malfoy. It was Snape.  We just had to watch Malfoy and Narissia make out.  I still have nightmares about that.

~Excuse me; I believe that as I bought the book, and had the idea for the chronicle, I should be the one to write down our exploits.

@What the heck does 'exploits' mean?

~All of the stuff we've done.  Now if you don't mind, I'll continue in the retelling of the tale.  Anyway, Peter hid outside as the lookout.  Unfortunately, he failed to see Professor Durway, the Slytherin Head, coming and we were caught.  Just so you know, the screams that were heard the next morning were extremely satisfactory.  They were almost good enough to make our detentions worth it.

~Our First Detention

          ~Professor Durway marched us to Professor McGonagall's office for punishment.  By the way, it is not a good idea to get in trouble after everyone is asleep, for McGonagall is ten times worse at night.

@She also sleeps in a tartan nightgown.  It's slightly amusing.

~Only if she's not about to kill you.  Anyway, we got 25 points taken from Gryffindor and had to scrub the Potions classroom, without magic.  It took forever.  Since then, we have gotten much better at avoiding getting caught.
