"ORION, HARRY, GET UP!" Teddy screeched at his two best friends. No reply. "BOYS!" No reply. Teddy sighed, these two where impossible in the morning. He chucked a pillow at Harry.
"HARRY WAKE UP!" Harry groaned and turned over.
"Well you asked for it," Teddy said chuckling to himself, "Aguamenti!"
A wave of water came from his wand and hit Harry right in the face,
"Aaarrrggghhh!" Harry screamed. On the bed opposite, Orion jumped up and hit his head.
"Teddy!" Harry groaned as he got up. Teddy laughed, "you asked for it Harry!" Harry just groaned again as Orion made his way to the bathroom muttering under his breath.

------------------

"HARRY JAMES POTTER!" Orion could be heard screaming from his dorm to the common room. There was a muffled scream as a small boy with messy black hair came running down from the boys dorms being chased by another boy with hair that was a bit longer but neon pink.
"GET BACK HERE RIGHT THIS INSTANT OR I SWEAR I WILL HEX YOU INTO OBLIVION!"
Harry screeched and hid behind Teddy who had just made his way down as well. "Save me Teddy, a scary pink monster is trying to kill me!"
Teddy looked at Orion and burst into laughter. "Oh. My. Gosh. Orion. Your. Hair!"
Harry laughed as well, "well i thought i might lose you both in the big bad castle," Harry said mysteriously, " so i dyed Orion's hair pink so I could recognise you both in a crowd." He smiled sheepishly at Orion who stood beside him fuming. Harry looked at Teddy and at the same time they both shouted 'run'. They sped out of the common room screaming with an incredibly angry Orion behind them. The common room was silent behind them before bursting into laughter. They had heard all about how the boys got detention the night before and knew that their year was going to be much funner with these boys in it.

--------

After Orion had got his hair changed back the three marauders were in the Great Hall at breakfast talking about the prank they pulled already and the pranks they where going to pull.
"That reminds me!" Harry said jumping up, "ive got to write to my family about yesterday!" He ran back to the common room with Orion and Teddy on his heels. After getting his parchment, the marauders retreated to 'their' corner of the common room to write to their family.

To Dad, Mum, Rebecca and Rose.

I hope you are all coping without me at home. I know it will be very hard for the three of you to cope with the fact that my awesomeness is not there! Just kidding! I'm having a great time already here! Me, Orion and Ted where all sorted into Gryffindor! Also dad you'll never guess what! We found your compartment on the train and we are in the same dorm as you where! Our year is big, there are eight of us altogether so Me, Orion and Ted get a dorm with just us! And don't worry Mum I'll try and make friends with other people too! Dad you'll be very proud to know that our prank went perfectly and that we are going to be WAY better than you where. Old Minnie doesn't know what's coming for her! We also bet your record and got a detention TWO HOURS after we arrived! Impressive i know. The foods just as good as you said Mum but i do miss your homemade apple pie! Tell the twins that I'm missing them loads and cant wait till they come so we can finish our prank war!

Lots of love, Harry.

Dear Dad, Mum, and Reg

I GOT INTO GRYFFINDOOR! So did Ted and Harry! The common room is so cool. Our prank went perfectly dad! Hogwarts is in trouble! I think Minnie knew it was us but she and Dumbles never said anything! We have eight boys in our year so WE GET A DORM TO OURSELVES! Its the same dorm that you where in dad because we found your initials on the beds. Im in the same bed as you.
I cant wait till you come here Reg. Two years is FAR too long. But I'm sure we'll send you a pressie before christmas!

Love The best Sirius Orion Black Ever!

To Mum, Dad, Alex and Jacob

Hogwarts is super! It's much funner to be here at school than when we visit because we have more time to prank! We're following in your footsteps dad! We where in your compartment on the train dad. We saw your little message on the wall. We met a boy called Ron Weasley on the train, he looked shocked to see us, it was a bit creepy. Our start of term prank went perfectly but i think some Gryffindoors suspected us because they knew you guys where the marauders at school too. Maybe we'll tell them later on?
Anyway tell Alex I'm missing her loads and can't wait for her to come too. Jacob can stay at home foREVER. Just kidding love you loooads J! I had an idea on the train dad, maybe we could get mirrors like you guys have so we can talk?

Lots of love, Ted.

After writing their letters, the boys sent them away with their owls.
"I think we should try and find more passageways than dad did today." Orion said to the boys as they sat under 'their' tree outside.
"Same!" Harry grinned and took out their map.
"We can add them to the map as we go along" Teddy jumped up.  "We need to find a place on the map that is quite empty. Oh! We can ask the portraits!"
The three boys ran inside. They started on the first floor and updated their map, adding details like how long the passageway took and whether or not it was still usable.
"Guys, its past curfew." Teddy said to the boys. "We need to go before Filch and his blasted cat find us."
Orion grinned, "Ted i think your forgetting that we have the cloak."
Harry took the cloak out of his bag, "but dad said to remember that Mrs Norris can still smell you and the ghosts can still see you."
"Oooooohhh ikcle bickle firsties out of bed! My, my" Peevs screeched flying down to the boys. "What are you little firsties doing here i wonder?"
Harry grinned at the ghost, "actually Peevs we're planning a prank, if you want to help. We know you are like the best pranker at Hogwarts."
The ghost looked shocked for a moment then grinned, "and who are me and the ickle bickle firsties going to prank first?"
The boys looked at each other and grinned, with Peevs on their side no one will catch them.
