"Good Morning class, open your books to page 63. There are instructions on how to transfigure objects into animals" said Professor McGonagall to the class of first year Gryffindor's and Slytherin's.
It had been 2 months since they had entered school and every day the same things seemed to happen: James and Sirius would tease Severus, Peter would get so excited it seemed he would pee in his pants, Lily would defend Severus, Remus would tell them to stop fighting, James and Lily would argue, Lily and Severus would leave, James would do something to Severus when he had his back turned and Peter would thenwet his pants.
James and Sirius were sitting together discussing something very quietly. They started scribbling something on a piece of parchment not even following the professors instructions. They then crumped it up and threw it at the table in which Remus and Peter were sitting. Remus was trying to transfigure a tea-cup into a rat and Peter was staring at the boys, adoration clear in his eyes.
Remus looked at the paper, opened it, looked at the boys and then wrote something in it. He threw it back at the boys. Peter seemed anxious to know what they were doing.
"R-Remus, what are you and the others talking about?" he asked quietly, as he fiddled with his fingers.
"The boys want to announced that we are officially 'The Marauders' but I said no, we will be in trouble for interrupting the class and don't want to go to detention, again" he answered.
Remus, as well as everyone else was surprised by what happened.
"Attention, our dear classmates and Severus, we would like to announce that me myself, as well as my friends James Potter, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, are from now on the Marauders!" said Sirius, who for some reason was expecting everybody to burst into applause. Him, James and Peter all got up put Remus just put his head down and covered his face.
"If you would like an autograph, you must wait until class is over. Now continue with your work" said James very proudly.
"Everybody back to work, boys sit down!" said Professor McGonagall.
Everybody was waiting for the lesson to end to have a good laugh about what happened and about the fact that the boys actually seemed to be proud of what they had just done, except Remus, who was very much embarrassed and mad at his friend's.
"Everybody, go to your next class. Except you four. Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, Mr. Pettigrew and Mr. Lupin, please stay for a few minutes" said Professor McGonagall.
"How many times have I told you not to interrupt my class? And for something so stupid! You will be serving detention for me at 7:00 for a whole week, starting tonight. You will be helping me pick up and transfigure rats back into teapots. You may go now" she said.
Remus seemed to get nervous all of the sudden. He walked closer to the professor, whispered something in her ear and she made a very shocked expression.
"Tonight?" she asked.
"Yes, so I can't serve detention" he said.
The other three boys seemed to be very curios of what their friend and teacher were talking about.
"Well, Mr. Lupin, I guess you will not have detention today, but six days of detention are enough for you" she said. "You may go now".
The boys left the classroom. as soon as they were walking down a corridor that was empty they all spoke at the same time:
"What was that all about?"
"What happens tonight?"
"You have a lot of explain to do!"
"What?" asked Remus.
"What happens tonight?" said Sirius, not even letting Peter or James ask their questions.
"Oh, my mother is sick and she lives far away so I must leave at night to be there I the morning and be able to come back in the afternoon" he said, a little confused with his improvised answer.
"You know, I am starting to think that your mother isn't really sick and you don't want to tell us, your best friends, what is happening" said James.
"I'm serious, my mother is sick. If you don't believe me go ask Dumbledore" said Remus, hoping that they would not go to the headmaster, who had no idea that Remus was claiming his mother is sick.
"Wait, I'm Sirius!" said Sirius who had said that joke at every opportunity he had.
"That joke will be getting old very soon, and Remus is right, if we don't believe him we should go ask Dumbledore. Let's go." Said James, making his way to the Headmasters office.
"Wait! We have potions! I am going to class and I don't care if you aren't coming with me" screamed Remus, though the boys didn't even hear him. He then made his way to the classroom.
Once he arrived, he was very glad that Professor Slughorn was not there yet, or he would have left him outside the classroom again. He took the seat in which he and his friends would normally sit down. He could help but notice that the girls kept on staring at him and whispering things. Maybe it was because of the scar he had in his neck.
Suddenly the girls stopped talking and one of them made her way towards him.
"Hello, I am Lily. We haven't really properly introduced ourselves. It's Remus, correct?" she told him, leaving him in shock that she would talk about him so normally, especially considering that he was friends with the boy she hated.
"Yes, Remus Lupin" he said, not really wanting to continue the conversation with the girl that James called 'the enemies side-kick'.
"Well it is a pleasure to meet you. You seem like a much better person than your other friends. James Potter is the most arrogant boy I have ever met! And I have only known him for 2 months!" she said.
"Well yes he is a little arrogant, but he is not that bad once you get to know him" he said. Just when he finished his 3 best friends came into the door.
"Fine Remus we believe you" they started repeating.
Lily got a Little bit closer to Remus and whispered: "well have you gotten to know him?" and then walked back towards her friends.
"Did you ask him?" asked Alice Finnegan to Lily.
"No, I couldn't get to that part of the conversation" she said and once she saw the look on her friends face she said:"you don't just walk up to someone you haven't ever introduced yourself to and ask 'hello, we have never met but I wanted to know where you got that scar on your neck and is your roommate Frank in love with my friend?'"
Her friends couldn't argue with that since it was true.
Almost immediately class started.
Once class was over, Lily left the classroom and made her way to Herbology, as she walked she looked for Severus who had agreed to meet her in that hallway every time they both had to pass there to get to class.
"Sev, hey how was class?" she said once she found him.
"Good Lils want me to walk you to class?" he asked her, ignoring the boy who was asking him a few questions about potions.
For the eighth time that year:
BAM
James potter crashed into Lily Evans in the hallway making her drop her books, only to have them stepped by Sirius before she could even pick them up.
"JAMES POTTER!" she screamed making him stop "During the past two months, you haven't done anything except push me, do you have any idea how many times I have had to repair my book? I am sick of this and Sirius before you even start, NO WE CANT ALL GET ALONG! I have tried but we can't and I am sick of you" she then stomped to class not letting any of the boys say anything and leaving Remus and Peter with mouths open.
I hope you liked it. I will try to update every week but I don't make any promises!
