Quartet
Peter Pettigrew was the reason I began to wear lipstick. It was third year, when discovered crushes warranted giggles and squeals. It was lunchtime in the Great Hall, and James yelled it out. He acted sorry afterwards, but he wasn't, really. Everyone laughed and the older students rolled their eyes and Peter said he felt sick and sprinted from the Hall.
For weeks after he blushed whenever he passed me in the hallway and once I caught him running in the other direction. It amazed me, this power I held over another human being.
Eventually we went "out" for three days and everyone tailed us and laughed and then we ran out of things to say and it was over.
James Potter was the reason I switched into Muggle Studies. It was fifth year and he was so funny and cute and McGonagall was pissed off, but when I got to the class I wasn't behind because I'm a halfblood. The teacher was fascinated by religion and I used to use those Muggle prayers, asking for a group project and a group that included James.
Once my prayers were answered and we put on a skit and everybody thought it was great. Then we were kinda friends and we talked and James told me he only took Muggle Studies to impress Lily Evans and that was that.
He was the perfect boy, but he wasn't mine.
Sirius Black was the reason I played the lottery. It was sixth year and he sold himself for the charity auction and I never though I'd win but I did and it wasn't so embarrassing because half the school had entered anyway. He was an absolute gentleman and pulled out my chair and helped me get to second base.
I was nervous as heck for the dinner but he was nice and gorgeous. I heard his family sucked and he had a scar from his mother's burning pan on his thigh but of course in one night we never got that far.
He had a crooked, crooked smile and I almost glimpsed the real person behind that beautiful mask but then his lips were on my neck and it was gone.
Remus Lupin was the reason I finally grew into myself. It was seventh year and everything was changing and all of a sudden he was thrown into my life. I had never seen him before but suddenly he was there and his quietness piqued my interest. It took me ages to get to know him because he though I was a slut because I had already been through all his friends and in a way, I had.
Finally it was a late night library visit and he said sardonically that a girl like me wouldn't be caught dead in a library and I challenged him because he had no idea who "me" really was and everything went from there and I knew I was finally in love when he confided his secret, a secret Peter wouldn't have kept, a secret James wouldn't have had, a secret Sirius wouldn't have told. It meant everything to me because his secret meant everything to him and he told me, the girl who wouldn't be caught dead in a library.
And lying here in his quiet cotton sheets, I know I'm finally in the right place because Peter would tremble and James would talk and Sirius would touch but Remus just holds and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Fin.
A/N: …What a WHORE! Lol.
I dunno, I actually don't like it when people pair characters (Lily or OCs or anybody) with more than one of the Marauders because there should be something like true love and nobody should be left alone in the end but whatever, I just thought of this late at night last year and here it is.
(It's actually kind of weird because I haven't gotten a single run-on sentence from spellcheck.)
The funny thing is there actually WAS a guy named Peter in 8th grade and he really did say he had to throw up.
Also, I don't know if the formatting actually worked. There should be lots of space between each Marauder, but unfortunately I can't do that. Not even with periods.
