It was the year 1976 and we start our story in a great hall of a castle in Scotland. This castle was a school, but not just any school, this was Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. 

The great hall is full of students as it is lunchtime and the students were especially ravenous after attending a double class and a single class. The four house tables were full of students shouting, chatting, eating & practicing spells. On the table with students that wear red and gold ties and robes that have a lion crest on them, there is a group of four boys. These boys were James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin & Peter Pettigrew, and these boys were known as The Marauders (well to themselves at least). 

James Potter is currently staring googly-eyed at a red-headed girl further down the table who is talking to her friends. Sirius Black & Peter Pettigrew were trying to snap James out of his trance but nothing seemed to be working so they resulted to yelling in his ear, this did work, probably a little too well because James fell off the bench and onto the floor. So naturally - as friends should - Sirius and Peter started laughing at him. Finally, we get to our final boy, Remus Lupin, who is quietly sitting on the bench nibbling on a bar of chocolate, reading a book, and pretending he didn't associate himself with the other three boys.

The red-headed girl mentioned earlier was Lily Evans and she was currently talking to her roommates and best friends, Jade Potter, Marlene McKinnon, Dorcas Meadows, Mary Macdonald & Alice Fortescue. They were all chatting about random topics that interested or annoyed them, Lily was ranting about the annoying boy James Potter who would not leave her alone and who would constantly keep asking her out for the past six years. In the middle of her rant, she also unknowingly admitted that he was rather cute as well. Now all her friends were teasing her about it, she was blushing about it and trying to persuade them she didn't mean but they wouldn't drop it.

Over on the table with kids that wear silver and green ties and robes that have snakes on them, there was a group of kids that sat in a small circle discussing essential matters like the dark lord and the war that was brewing. There was also a small group off to the side of the bigger group that was discussing the latest gossip - like if the Slytherin Duncan Ashe was actually found snogging an unknown Ravenclaw in a broom closet or if that was just a rumor and if Jacob of Ravenclaw was going crazy with all his talk about the Cursed Vaults of Hogwarts - but those are stories for another day. The main aim of this group was to try and block out the talk from the rest of the table.

Suddenly, the hall fell silent at the giant knock of the great hall's doors. Then just as quickly as the silence appeared it disappeared as students continued to chatter about who or what could be outside the doors. The headmaster, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, stood from his golden throne and silently cast a wandless spell to open the door. Behind it was not what anyone was expecting, it was the family members of several of the students. The crowd at the door consisted of the Potters, the Blacks, the Malfoys, the Notts, the Prewetts, the Evans, the Lovegoods, the Tonks, the Weasleys, Mad-Eye Moody, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Augusta Longbottom, Amelia Bones. The headmaster who had continued standing asked the guests why they had arrived during the middle of the school day. While he was asking that question, Sirius Black muttered something sarcastic under his breath, something along the lines of "joy, a family reunion".
