It was a cold Saturday winter morning and all of Hogwarts' staff and students were gathered in the great hall for breakfast. James, Sirius, Remus and Peter were sat in their routine configuration. James beside Peter and opposite Sirius who sat beside Remus who was opposite peter. They all sat eating their breakfast when the whole hall turned towards the entrance of the great hall. Whispers and sniggers filled the hall as the 4 turned to see Evan Rosier, Regulus black and Barty crouch Jr. all walking into the hall together, Rosier and Crouch either side of regulus, almost as if they were guarding him. It soon became apparent why they were doing this and why everyone was giggling and whispering. As well as the regular Slytherin green and silver tie, Regulus had something else around his neck.
Hickeys.
Regulus' neck was covered in dark red and purple marks. It was obvious he was trying to hide them as he kept adjusting his collar and pulling it up, though that had little to no affect.
Sirius turned to James who was facing down at his plate, picking at his food.
"James Fleamont potter. What the hell did you do to my little brother?! You can either be secretive about your relationship or be open about it. But you can't leave him looking like that and expect no questions!" James stood up.
"You know what Sirius? You're right." He ran to Regulus and Barty and Evan glared before moving aside. James took off his quidditch sweatshirt, with 'potter' embroidered across the back in gold stitching, and put it over Regulus' head. He helped him put it on despite already feeling cold from standing in the hall just a vest on his torso. Once Regulus' neck was covered with the jumper, James held his waist and kissed his forehead gently.
As the two stood, there was a sound of three people running. Sirius, followed by Remus, followed by peter.
"James potter!" yelled Sirius. This being James' cue to run. He pecked Regulus' lips before running out of the great hall, followed by his friends.
The whole hall was now looking at Regulus who was now once more being protected by his friends. This time, with their wands out.

James, sirius, remus and peter laughed when they got to the dorm, getting ready to go out.
"I'm proud of you prongs, that took balls, and you did it in front of the whole school." James and Sirius hugged as the others got ready.

The 4 of them headed down to Hogsmeade, all linking together with their arms over each others shoulders. The group headed down into the village, nearing closer to a space where they could enact their chaos. The all got to a large field space that was surrounded by trees and woodland. The quartet separated and began picking copious amounts of snow. Sirius was the first to throw a snowball. he threw it at James.

"That's for sleeping with my brother and covering him in hickeys prongs!" he yelled laughing as he did. James threw the next one at Remus.
"That's for stealing my best friend moony!" Remus threw the next one at Sirius "That's for taking my virginity" he yelled as he hurled it to the back of the dark haired man's neck. Sirius grabbed a large hunk of snow and flung it towards peter. "Pete! that's for eating all the tiger bread Remus made me!" Peter screamed, though it was more of a squeak. the mass of the snow landed and spread across peters body, practically painting his clothes white with snow. The 3 burst into laughter all but peter who was shivering from the overwhelming cold.

After they warmed peter and stopped laughing, the 4 huddled together in a large scarf Remus' mother had made for them all. Sirius had made a fire and the 4 marauders sat in front of it, laughing and telling each other stories and jokes.
After an hour of their friendly huddling (though Sirius and Remus were being a bit more than friendly with one another.) regulus approached the 4 of them, still in James' jumper, with Evan and Barty in their protective stance. Regulus smiled at James and even waved to Sirius.
"Hey potter, what you did in there for Regulus took balls, even for a Gryffindor. Well done." Said Rosier, patting James on the back. Meanwhile, crouch was levitating a large log over, shaking it of snow and placing it opposite the 4 men. The three skittles men sat down and Remus summoned another large scarf. This one was green and silver, and clearly newly made. The knitting pattern wasn't as tight as the marauder's one, suggesting that Remus had made it himself. The 3 smiled and wrapped themselves up with the scarf.

The 7 of them had talked for hours. Remus had handed out chocolate bars, James had moved and sat beside regulus, Peter sat awkwardly (as usual) and Sirius talked with crouch and Rosier who he hadn't spoken to properly since they were kids.

The evening came quickly and the night was even faster approaching. The seven all got up and began heading back to the castle.
"Hey, listen, whatever's happened between us, can we put it behind us? It doesn't make sense to hold on to the past, especially since James and Regulus have apparently forgotten." Said Remus, smiling.
The 7 of them all agreed and shook one another's hands.

This was the start of something new. Something fresh. Something...
