One summer, all the Marauders congregated at Peter's the week proceeding their return to school. Peter had a bunch of muggle family around at the same time so they often ended up babysitting a cousin or two, though none of them minded as they all seemed good with kids in their own special way.
Peter seemed to gain an air of confidence around small children, he knew just how to act around them and always knew what to say, he had a strange understanding of the garbled nonsense that is the language of a 2 year old.
James made anyone under the age of 9 giggle on sight, his face just seemed to have that quality that children find hilarious. He was always up for giving piggy-backs and letting kids swing off his arms, his height just made him a human climbing frame.
Sirius came off as quite intimidating to children at first, but then he'd smile and say hi and they'd just melt. Like, here you have this punk-rock kinda guy wearing all black with an earing and probably eyeliner, getting his hair plaited by little girls and reading nursery rhymes to kids gathered at his feet.
Remus was like the one responsible adult that all kids like before even approaching him because he always has chocolate and tell the tall ones to stop being so loud when they're trying to sleep. Remus had a calm exterior and gave off that kind of atmosphere that makes kids feel safe and calm.
