Autumn, brisk cool winds, broken and shattered leaves, the bright yet mellow golden orange leaves which decided to fall from a few of the non-evergreen tree's that decorated the school's ground in what looked like designated spots even though that was preposterous. The huge body of water also known as the Great Lake to the students and teachers of Hogwarts; was rippling slightly as the winds blew over the top of it. Most of the students dared not to come to close to the water, as a Giant Octopus inhabited the cold dark waters. But that is beside the point. Four boys happen to not care much about the monster which dwelled in the lake, thinking it a myth to keep the students out of the water, as they had not seen the Octopus in all their three years at this school. Deciding to sit at the edge of the lake, each of the four boys had earned a 'gang name' if you will, as the Marauders, having all their nicknames together. Moony: who's real name was Remus Lupin, was one of the three taller boys, looked always tired, his hair light brown his eyes yellowish green, He was the more patient forgiving, one of the four. Wormtail: His real name being Petter Pettigrew; the short fat one who just followed them around, highly resembled a rat in many of ways, his hair dirty blonde and always slicked back not with gel but its own grease, his eyes pure yellow almost as yellow as his hair. He just tagged along for lack of anything else to do. Padfoot: His name really being Sirius Black; here we have one of the three who happened to always have a girl at either side. His slightly long black hair and piercing blue eyes made it so the girls just giggled and fainted at his feet. He and his best friend who I am about to name are the two biggest trouble makers out of the Marauders. Prongs: better known as James Potter; Ah what to say about dear Prongs… His brown hair never lay flat on his head, almost as often as his hair stuck out his black rimmed glasses were on his face. Being the Quidditch seeker for the Gryffindor team, he was often swooned over by girls.
But now back to what they were doing…
As Sirius began to toss rocks into the water, in attempt to skip the large round ones, after each throw a word came out of his mouth, "Oi." A rock went splash, "What" yet another splashed in the dark water "Do" but this time before he could throw another rock James pushed him into the water instead of a rock. "Just finish your sentence why don't ya!" A smirk played on his face, he knew that Sirius would not take offence to this act as they often messed around with each other and agreed to be friends until the end. Getting out of the water, his shoes sloshing as he walked Sirius half thought about dumping James in as well but he would be waiting for that of course, so Sirius decided against it, and instead did a simple incantation under his breath which dried his clothes immediately. "OK. As I was saying… What do you lot think we should do? Its rather boring if we just sit here and do nothing all day."
Looking at each other they thought for a few moments, when finally the silence was broken, "Well we could always do our essays, seeing as their due Monday…" Said Remus. Thinking that is what they would be doing Petter trotted off to go get his book bag from the Gryffindor Common Room. After Petter was out of earshot James and Sirius spoke up in unison, "Nawh.." scratching his head slightly Sirius however continued his sentence "We could always go find a few girls to snog, second years are always up for a bit of snogging…" James seemed to like the idea however Remus, being the shyer of the three didn't seem to like the idea as much. "Well you two can, but I'm going to go work on my essay, see you guys later." Remus then walked off and into the castle through the great tall oak doors.
Looking at each other, James an Sirius both said "Who first?" then looking around, Sirius said "You can," He pointed at a girl with red hair, "Remember her? Lily?" Turning around to see if the girl James had pointed at was a total dog or not, James almost fell over, "Is that Lily Evans? The little girl who was at school last year?" he was shocked, summer had obviously been good to her this year. "Yeah I think she'll do just fine…" James began top walk towards her.
What happens next will be in the next chapter, please read and review.
