Beauty and the Beast (Marauder Story)

We all know who the Marauders are. James, Sirius, Remus... and Pettigrew. We all know bits and pieces of their days at Hogwarts, but there are parts we were never told.

First there's James, in love with Lily Evens since, like, forever. Quidditch captain, chaser, and star. Takes Sirius in to his home in their fifth year. Giant prankster, popular, loyal, brave, an illegal animagus, and a little bit of an arrogant toe rag. Then somehow in his seventh year he gets the girl AND beats Remus for Headboy. But how did he do it?

Next there's Sirius, the bad boy, the player, the hottest boy in school. Ultra popular, carefree, prankster, also illegal animagus, and hates his family. Disowned in fifth year, the same year he almost accidentally killed Snape in a prank gone wrong. But what if there's a different side to him?

Then Pettigrew, (A/N sorry I refuse to call him anything but that except in my actual stories) the traitor, the one in the background, the talentless fool. Who somehow managed to become an illegal animagus. All but worshipped the ground James, Sirius, and Remus walked on. So why did he betray them? Was he really as stupid and useless as everybody thought?

Finally Remus, the nerdy one, who wouldn't date due to his 'furry little problem.' He was Mr. Perfect, the Prefect, the kind, smart, sweet one. He was in the Slugclub, rather popular and a shoe-in for Headboy. Hogwarts' resident werewolf who later in life marries Tonks and has Teddy. But what if there was someone before Tonks? What happened to her? Who was she? What if Mr. Perfect wasn't so perfect after all?

What if one night in the Shrieking Shack can set the ball rolling for all these questions to be answered?
