James Potter sat under a tree in the school yard of Hogwarts school Of Witch Craft and Wizardry. Along side him were his best friends Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew and Remus Lupin. The boys were also known as the four Marauders. Which then named Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs.

As the boys sat under the tree enjoying the hot spring day James saw a beautiful (in his opinion) girl walking towards some Ravenclaw fourth years sitting by the lake. It was the elegant Gryffindor fourth year, Lily Evans.

"Hi Lily!" James called out.

"Hello Potter" replied the young Gryffindor fourth year in a annoyed voice.

James bounces up and follows her.

"Will you go out with me today?"asked James looking very hopeful.

"Honestly Potter, you'd think that you would get it after the first hundred times you've asked me, and the answer again is NO!"

James was stunned but continued to run after Lily.

"Evans, Why don't you like me!" Pleaded James.

"Would you like me to be honest?" responded Lily.

"Yeah, uh...sure."

"One ,you rarely ever call me Lily, you call me Evans. Two..."

SPLASH

Sirius, Peter and Remus jump up from under the tree and run the lake side to help James out.

"What was that for!" Exclaimed James.

"I ran out of things to say." giggled Lily as she walked away.

The Marauders made there way back to the tree and sat down.

"Face it James, she just doesn't like you." said Sirius.

"Yeah, coming from the guy whose dated every girl at Hogwarts except Lily Evans!" Remus shot back in James defense.

"I can't help it, I don't mean to harass her but i like her...a lot."

"I think she's weird." squeaked Peter.

"Your weird,Peter." James, Sirius and Remus said in harmony.

The boys all laughed.

The Marauders were back up in the common room getting ready to go to the Great Hall for dinner when Professor McGonagall came storming in with a very worried look on her face.

"umm...attention..er...can I have your attention please. I am here to tell you some very,very bad news. It seems Professor Dumbledore has canceled dinner in the Great Hall tonight due to a emotionally disturbed house elf that is running around the corridors hitting people with a wooden spoon. Please remain in your houses common room and dormitories and dinner will be delivered to you as soon as possible...ah... Thank you." And with that she left.

Silently people murmured to one another and then continued on with there business.

Sirius,James, Peter and Remus all exchanges glances at each other and then headed toward the portrait hole until they were stopped by one of the Gryffindor prefects.

"You heard Professor McGonagall we are all to stay here, boys, or I will have no choose but to give you detention."

The boys went and sat at a table. Detention didn't phase them but they knew with the prefects here they had to be sneaky if they wanted to get out. James pulled out a blank piece of parchment from his pocket and laid it flat on the table. He glanced around to make sure no one was watching them and then recited these words quietly:

"I solemnly swear I'm up to no good."

Suddenly the blank piece of parchment changed into a map of Hogwarts school.

"Now, all we have to do is watch the prefects, when they are good and distracted we can go for the portrait hole and hopefully we'll make it this time." James whispered.
