#remus was more of a loner during this period. he'd sometimes hang out with the classic other marauders but also didn't want to get close

[enbysiriusblack]

first and second year 'marauders':

- they didn't call themselves the marauders at this point and it wasn't just remus, james, sirius, and peter

- remus was in and out of the group, not wanting to get to close to them (they properly joined and became the group of 4 when james, sirius, and peter found out remus' secret)

- mary and marlene were a part of the group (marlene being childhood friends with james, and then becoming automatic best friends with mary, she brought her into the group)

- lily and emmeline weren't a part of the group. they were friends with mary and marlene and remus but not the others. lily rarely spending time with any of them other than remus in classes without slytherin or the girls but only really in the dorms. and emmeline had a sister a year ahead in hufflepuff so she hung out with them more than the gryffindors

- they were fairly popular during that period, especially as Frank and Alice (a few years above them and very popular) took a liking to them and let them hang out with them. this is when james and mary's popularity started

- literally so loud. i can not even explain how loud. this is 11 year old james, mary, peter, sirius, and marlene I'm talking about. and before lily and remus joined them. just constant screaming and yelling.

- all of them extremely quidditch obsessed. not just about playing (only james, marlene, and sirius played and not on the team yet) but at the quidditch matches they would go so chaotic. fully decked out in gryffindor colours, booing other houses nonstop, waving huge flags, spending all their time making flags for the matches, etc.

- they ran around the castle all the time, and would accidentally break so many things

- McGonagall started up a club for them to try to release their energy in a better way (making flags and stuff for the quidditch matches, having friendly races and sporty stuff outside, helping out with the school gardens, making random stuff like flower chains and origami, etc.) it was sort of like a breakfast club/afterschool?? idk if other ones were the same as my old school but the one i had was for kids who needed to release excess energy, kids who's parents were still at work, and kids who's families were on low income and had like breakfast and snacks at school and played games they couldn't have at home. anyway, i feel like other students might have joined but those 5 were the only long lasting members

#i wanna give them a name just to make it easier when i refer to the group but i can't think of anything #so if you have any ideas pls tell me #remus was more of a loner during this period. he'd sometimes hang out with the classic other marauders but also didn't want to get close #other than that he was friends with lily and spent a lot of the time in the library with her of by himself #and lily would hang out with him or snape.. she liked mary and marlene and emmeline #but obviously mary and marlene hates snape and would make fun of him in front of her and she'd do the same about sirius and james #she was closer with emmeline at this time period but i mean lily still hung out with snape more and emmeline hung out with the hufflepuffs #the girls became more close friends and like. a friend group at the end of second year when sirius and james and peter got closer to remus #marauders era #marauders #marlene mckinnon #sirius black #james potter #peter pettigrew #mary macdonald
