Summary: Hogwarts is big, but can it possibly hold 2 sets of Marauders? Follow the trials and tribulations of the Four Marauders we all know and love, (and, well, one we hate) and their female counterparts. (Obviously AU)

A/N: This was written by 5 different people, and although it takes place in the HP universe our writing tends to include inside jokes and situations from our actual lives (and yes, we DO have them, as hard as it may seem to believe!) This story can still be very much enjoyed even if you don't know us, but it is recommended that you read any story on this account (there are stories written by me and one other writer) as well as anything by Bammbean, for some background reading.

And now, on to the story!

Chapter 1: Prologue

Hogwarts was a big school. But could it possibly ever be big enough to hold two sets of Marauders?

It was September 1st. The train had just pulled into Hogsmeade station. This year was a formidable year. The teachers knew who was going to be coming through those doors any minute. The most troublesome, dangerous, maraudering students ever to pass through those hollowed halls. These ten students were completely outside normal disciplinary standards.

Nothing worked. No toilet cleaning, no trophy shining, and certainly no line writing. They made everything into a spectacle; the world was a playground to them. If Hogwarts was their audience, then any table, chair, desk, broom, or couch could be morphed into their stage.

First, there were the girls, and do not make the mistake of underestimating them, you'd probably end up dead.

Alyssa Henry, strikingly beautiful; all she needed was a shampoo, tight jeans and black eyeliner. She was observant of everything, and everyone was observant of her. And if she was ever in a room with someone she didn't know....well God help them.

Then, Lauren Russell. Her main weapons were her wit and sarcasm. With blonde hair and blue eyes, many people made the mistake of assuming she was sweet and loving, and sometimes a really naïve person might think she would feel bad if (and when) she insulted someone. Haha. She believed in honesty.

Lindsay Borealis was the best friend of Alyssa. Being tall and blonde, she was also Alyssa's physical opposite, who was short and brunette. Lindsay had a very big tendency to zone out in class. She always had a song playing in her head, and it wasn't that unusual for her to burst out singing in the hallway.

Corinne Gardener was a fiery red head with an insatiable thirst for caffeine. In the morning she would become a small ball of energy bouncing off the walls, and she never had any "down" time. You could locate her almost anywhere in the castle by following her continuous flow of laughter.

Pamela Castineiras was pretty with dark curly hair and dark eyes. She was always writing her newest Pulitzer Prize winner. People loved her stories and poems; she was amazing.

These five girls were all known to be funny and witty, and they each absorbed books like water. They were all very different, but still very similar. They had their own spark of individuality, and were the most dangerous things the teachers had ever seen. Because on top of being irresistible and spontaneous, they also possessed unimaginable magical powers. But probably most importantly, they were friends first, and witches second. No one else came before each other, and they would all sooner die than betray one of their group.

The boys, however, were another story.

First there were the Marauders.

James Potter was the Quidditch star of the school. He was the equivalent of a football player in a Muggle High school. He was one of the three uncrowned kings of the school, and he knew it and loved it. He was also amazingly intelligent.

His counterpart was Sirius Black. Sirius was basically....well, really hot. He didn't exactly have James' talent on the Quidditch field, but it didn't matter. He had girls drooling all over him anyway. He only liked one girl, but she had never returned his feelings.

Remus Lupin was the third. He was by far the most quiet and well-behaved. Because of this, he had been granted a prefects badge in 5th year. The teachers had hoped he could somehow control his friends (Sirius and James, as well as the girls, had quite a passion for pranks) but all Remus did was plan them so they wouldn't get caught.

(There was a fourth boy, Peter Pettigrew, but Lindsay shoved him in the vanishing closet cabinet, no one bothered to look for him, and they all realized they were better off without him.)

Then, Lucius Malfoy. The Marauders and Malfoy hated each other. Lucius's best friend, Severus Snape, was the recipient of almost all of the Marauders' pranks. He had the well known Malfoy hair and skin (politely declared by Lauren as "those freaky-ass albinos"). He was a shady boy who had dabbed in the Dark Arts. Corinne was the only one who defended him; she believed there was more to him than everyone else saw.

And the last, well, let's let another author tell his story, because this girl just isn't the one to do so. But let it be known that his story was the most interesting of the lot.

And at this very moment, the teachers stood at the head of the hall, waiting for the students to take their seats. Just waiting for the year to officially begin. Because this year was different than the year before it.

This year they were 6th years.

Then, as the candles dripped, and the pumpkins smiled, and the suits of armor creaked, the teachers heard the carriages come up in the front. They heard voices, doors opening, footsteps, very familiar cackling laughter.

McGonagall gulped.

The main hall doors opened, they heard the creaking, and more insane laughter, other people joining in.

Sinistra looked down the line of teachers. He thought they must look strange, set up as if for battle. But his hands were sweating, hidden in the folds of his robes.

The doors opened as the five most formidable people the teachers could have imagined poured in. Alyssa was in front followed closely by Lindsay, then Lauren and Pam who were holding Corinne, who obviously had a serious laughing attack.

They all looked up at the teachers and Alyssa said two words.

"We're back."
