A/N – Thank you reading! Also thank you if you have reviewed/followed/favourited!
I'm still deciding where this story is going, so for now I will think of ideas for chapters as I write them.

Snow started to fall in the Hogwarts grounds, and the students got excited as Christmas was quickly approaching. The Marauders were each going home to spend Christmas with their families.
The Marauders sat it Transfiguration, as Professor McGonagall explained how to transfigure a feather into a spoon.
"For your homework can you please write an essay on how to a feather into a spoon", Professor McGonagall told them.
"But we've got enough homework already!" Sirius complained.
"I do not care Mr. Black. Having other homework does not mean you can get out of doing Transfiguration homework."
"But, Professor-"
"Mr. Black you have plenty of time to do all three homework's as I am giving you a week to do the essay."
"Sirius we have hardly had any other homework, besides writing an essay for Charms which you've already started", Remus said, not bothered about having more homework.
"But if I'm doing homework I won't have time to think of a new prank!" Sirius complained. "Unless you help me with the homework."
"When you say 'help' do you mean actually help you with it or just copy my homework?"
"Well... if you're offering to let me copy yours..."
"I will help you with it, but you're not copying mine", Remus decided.
"Wait, that's not fair! If you're helping him then you have to help me with the homework too!" James demanded.
"And me!" Peter agreed.
"Okay, I'll help all of you with your Transfiguration homework." Remus sighed.
The Marauders walked into the Gryffindor common room. They all went to sit on the sofas. Already sitting at the sofas were Lily, Alice and Marlene.
"I wonder who the Marauders are, the ones who are doing all the pranks", Alice asked her friends.
"Whoever they are they woke me up a few weeks ago!" Marlene complained.
"Well I think I know exactly who they are", Lily said, staring at the four boys. James smirked at her, as if to agree with her suspicions.
"I knew it!" Lily shouted. Everyone in the common room heard her, but Lily didn't notice as she was too wrapped up in the revelation to pay any attention.
"Shhhh!" James whispered. "We don't want people to know."
Everyone had now turned around and payed no attention to Lily and her friends or the Marauders.
"Why not, Potter?" Lily asked.
"It's a secret", James stage whispered.
"What are you talking about?" Marlene asked suspiciously.
"Nothing!" James said, dismissing the subject as quickly as possible.
James and Sirius ran as fast as they could to Professor McGonagall's office and knocked the door.
"Come in."
James and Sirius walked in, still out of breath from running from the Gryffindor common room to McGonagall's office.
"What do you want?" Professor McGonagall asked from behind her desk.
"We want to try out for the Gryffindor Quidditch Team", Sirius explained.
"First years aren't aloud."
"It's not fair!" James shouted before he realised that he was talking to Professor McGonagall and it was a bad decision to shout, he didn't mean to, he just wanted to try out for the Quidditch Gryffindor team.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to shout professor. It's just me and Sirius really wants to try out for the team."
"You know the rules Potter, no first years are aloud. But I'll happily let you try out for the team next year." McGonagall told them. "Now would you please make your way back to Gryffindor common room before curfew.
James and Sirius walked into the common room and say by Remus and Peter. Remus was reading a book and Peter was doing his Charms homework.
"What did McGonagall say?" Peter asked.
"She said no", told him.
"I told you she would", Remus said, not looking up from his book.
"It's not fair!" James repeated.
"You can always try out next year", Remus reminded them.
"But we wanted to try out this year!" Sirius said.
"Rules are rules", Remus said.
"The rules for first years are stupid", Sirius muttered.
