Chapter 2: That 70's Show

Sirius Black stretched on his best friend James' bed, before swiftly turning into the huge, black dog that was often mistaken for the Grim. He had skipped class and was waiting the arrival of his best friends, also known as the Marauders. The sound of approaching footsteps and laughter told him that they were nearby.

"Sirius, you idiot, you're going to get caught! We could get into huge trouble if anyone found out! You guys aren't even registered…" said Remus as he came in, looking exasperated; they had had this argument about a million times. Peter and James followed after him. James was playing with his Snitch, and Peter was watching the exchange with an amused expression on his face.

Sirius-the-dog raised his big head and shot Remus the puppy eyes that made his teachers rethink giving him detentions, and made the many girls of Hogwarts swoon. The charm of this look was doubled by the fact that Sirius was actually in dog form.

"Oh, Sirius don't give me that look!" Remus laughed, shielding his eyes with a book, "No one can resist that look!"

James and Peter laughed before James realized who's bed Sirius was laying on, "Sirius, you mutt, get off my bed! Last time you did that you left fur all over the place, and Mallory asked me if I shaved my legs before going to sleep at night."

Remus roared with laughter before Peter asked with interest, "Mallory? The blonde Fourth year? I didn't know you two were going out."

"Yup," James said before, with a lazy flick of his wand, he sent a yelping now-human Sirius into the air with a muttered Levicorpus, "We were in the middle of snogging when Sirius' shedding problem ruined it all."

Ignoring Sirius's yells of protest at being hoisted into the air by his ankle, Peter laughed and then asked with an admiring look at James, "How do you and Sirius keep track of them all?"

"They don't," Remus said, taking a chocolate bar out of his pocket and yanking the wrapper open with his teeth, "Sirius called Melissa by Annabel's name just last week. By the way Sirius, you really should stop skipping class, especially with OWLs on the way…"

Sirius shook his head, still upside down, blood rushing to his face, "That's exactly why though Remus…I'm gonna end up having to teach myself after every class anyway, because you and Evans are the only ones who understand anything the teachers are saying anymore. Besides, I'll stop skipping when you stop eating chocolate… JAMES THOMAS POTTER, PUT ME DOWN NOW!"

Remus look astounded, even offended by the idea of not eating chocolate anymore, while James and Peter sniggered as Sirius landed on the floor with a crash.

"Hey, is it time for dinner yet?" Peter asked abruptly, "I'm starving…"

James shook his head before teasing his friend, "Peter, haven't we told you a thousand times about the way to get to the kitchen? Tickle the pear, remember?"

Peter shrugged, "Well I always end up tickling the grapes instead. I can't believe I skipped lunch to help that Tonks girl deliver…," Peter quickly shut himself up when he saw the fire in Remus' eyes.

"YOU? You're the one who's helping deliver…" Remus walked to a pile of heart-shaped letters next to his bed and grabbed one before shoving it in Peter's face, "these to my pillow every single night!"

James laughed as Sirius grinned, "Aw, come on Remus, it's cute the way she has a huge crush on you. I mean, James and I have help-"

James cut him off with a glare, before Remus chased his laughing friends down the stairs, out the common room, to a hall. They were still running when there was a flash in front of them, and they all tripped over the unconscious figure in front of them.

"OW!" James exclaimed, rubbing his head.

James, Peter and Remus groaned before getting up and dusting themselves off. They looked around for Sirius and saw him crouched over the figure they had tripped over. A few steps closer and they realized it was a girl, around their age, with long red hair. She was pretty, and without realizing what he was doing, Sirius gently pulled the hair out of her face and wiped away the almost-dry tears with his thumb.

The Marauders stared at her until Remus asked, "Um…was she there a second ago?"

Ginny felt a small smile on her face that immediately came when she felt someone gently touching her face. She didn't want to wake up. In the world of consciousness there was a Harry who didn't like her, six brothers who seemed to enjoy her torture, and a test she hadn't bothered to study for. Sleep was safe.

Then, suddenly, she was blasted by a jet of cold water. Ginny screamed and shot up, sliding her wand out of her pocket, ready to hex the person who had done it. Her eyes landed on Harry and three other boys, one of which was holding out a wand. She didn't recognize them, which was weird, since their robes told her they were in Gryffindor, and they didn't look much older than her.

"Sorry," the boy holding the wand shrugged, "You wouldn't wake-up."

He was…well…hot. The boy's hair was dark and shaggy, going a little past his chin. His sparkling gray eyes had a touch of mischief in them, and he was tall and slender. He also seemed to have a slight arrogance to him, and was looking at Ginny with curiosity and... something else she couldn't quite place. Ginny had to pry her eyes off him to look at the other two boys next to Harry. One of them was short, but not quite as short as Ginny. He had watery blue eyes with dirty blonde hair that landed in soft curls across his head, and was really cute in the little brother sort of way. His built was average. The second boy was brunette and good-looking, almost as good-looking as the dark-haired boy, and looked slightly-tired in a way that made you want to give him a big hug.

"Um…who are you guys?" Ginny asked bluntly, cursing herself for sounding like Ron.

The boys looked bewildered at her question, before Harry said with a dashing grin, "Why, we're the Marauders, pranksters extraordinaire, making Snape wash his hair since 1969."

That was when Ginny fainted for the second time.
