Just so ya'll know, these chapters are up quickly because they were written before I posted the fanfic. The other chapters will be up more slowly but they will be longer! I promise, starting from chapter 5 which I'm almost done writing. yay for me

Chapter 4: Introducing theeeeeeeeeeeee MARAUDERS!

"Ay, Prongs, any idea where Dumbledore is? Im starving, and dinner isn't served without him!"

whined Remus

"Shut up Moony, I'm hungrier than you are!" replied an equally agitated Sirius

Remus Lupin and Sirius Black, two fourths of a notorious group called the Marauders. The other

two fourths were James Potter and Peter Pettigrew who were heatedly discussing an upcoming

quidditch match, far too busy to think about food. Many girls watched these four very closely.

And why wouldn't they, the boys were certainly very handsome. Remus Lupin had sandy hair that

reached the nape of his neck in waves, his golden brown eyes held the calmness of an ocean after

a storm. Tall was he, at 5'11 with a sturdy build, yes six-pack and all. Sirius Black, oh my, his

ebony hair that reached a little past the nape of his neck, with a-symmetrical bangs, and darkest

of blue eyes. He was tall as well at 6'1, with a slight muscular build. Peter Pettigrew was also a

fairly good looking boy. He was the runt of the group at 5'6, but he had beautiful sea green eyes

and wavy blond hair up to his ears that slightly curled at the bottom. He had an average build,

slightly toned from playing quidditch. James Potter, he was right behind Remus at 5'10, with a

lanky frame, defined by muscles built through years of quidditch. His crazy untidy jet black hair

and hazel eyes, made him too cute to resist. A funny little secret about the Marauders was that

although they pranced about claiming to be the Hogwarts Play-boys, only one of them had ever

had sex and that was Remus Lupin. His heart that girl had broken, so he no longer thought about

her. His friends considered him a born again virgin.(I do that because I have plans for him and

don't want to go into details about his ex)

Suddenly the doors to the Great Hall burst open and in came Professor Dumbledore, and along

with him an anonymous young woman that would change their lives in so many ways.

"Hey Moony, Prongs, Wormtail!" Sirius whispered "Dumbledore finally showed up but he's not

alone. There's a bird with him. Any of you recognize her?"

"No, I wish I did though. She's rather pretty isn't she? I wonder who she is, transfer student from

Beauxbaton perhaps." Replied Remus

"Well, it looks like he's going to introduce her so I guess we'll find out. That is if you two shut

up!" Peter whispered at them haughtily

"Good evening ladies and gentleman and ghosts of all ages!" Dumbledore started off with a smile

on his face. "I would like you all to know that the forbidden forest is no longer forbidden!" He

stopped as chatter started up, then he burst their bubbles "Just kidding children, I'm not quite that

crazy yet although Hermione here thinks I belong in St. Mungo's." He chuckled before continuing

"Hermione, come up here a minute. I would like to introduce you all to my niece Hermione

Granger. She's a seventh year Gryffindor. She has been previously tutored by me personally over

breaks and has spent summer holidays here in the castle. Due to unfortunate incidents, her home

study could no longer be pursued. I trust you all to welcome her with open arms. Bon appetite!"

Everyone slowly began piling their plates up as Hermione made her way over to the Gryffindor

table. The only vacant seat she saw was between two people who she recognized quite well:

Remus Lupin and James Potter. "May I sit here?" she asked timidly

"But of course you may! Sit down and eat up." Said Sirius warmly from across the table

Hermione smiled graciously at him before filling up her plate with food. She found that time travel

made her very hungry.

"So Hermione how is it being related to Dumbledore?" aked Remus

"Never a boring moment" she giggled remembering the headmaster's discovery of the room of

requirements.

"You've got a really pretty laugh you know?" flirted Peter

Hermione was livid. How dare that traitor, that lying brute flirt with her! But then she remembered

that maybe he wasnt a traitor just yet. She should try to be civil towards him.

"Thank you Peter."

"I'm sorry, not to be rude but how did you know his name?" questioned James from Hermiones left.

"Oh well that's because um..."

tsk tsk tsk, what has Hermione gotten herself into now!
