| Marauders #8: *We solemnly swear to meet in the forest. No worms allowed.*  Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs welcome you to the Marauders' Appreciation Thread *WE SOLEMNLY SWEAR WE ARE UP TO NO GOOD* The Marauders were four Gryffindor boys who attended Hogwarts between 1971 and 1978. They were thought to have been some of the cleverest students attending Hogwarts at the time. They used their talents for all sorts of mischief, among other things. They created the Marauder’s Map, which showed Hogwarts in every detail, including every passage and the location and movements of denizens of the castle. *The Marauders* Remus “Moony” Lupin Peter “Wormtail” Pettigrew Sirius “Padfoot” Black James “Prongs” Potter Their nicknames came from the identities of their Animagi forms: James: a Stag Sirius: a large black dog Peter: a rat Remus was not an Animagi. He was a werewolf. His monthly transformation during every full moon is what earned him the nickname of “Moony”. This also was the reason behind his three friends becoming unregistered Animagi. A shanty was built just outside of Hogsmeade for Remus to go to every full moon. There he would go through the werewolf transformation alone. The shanty was later nicknamed “the Shrieking Shack” due to the howling sounds that came from it every month and earned the reputation of being “the most haunted building in Britain.” The Whomping Willow was planted to cover the entrance to the shack. Remus kept his transformations a secret from his friends, but by their second year, they had figured it out. They were still very fond of Remus and didn’t care that he was a werewolf. By their fifth year, James, Sirius, and Peter had learned to become Animagi (though they remained unregistered) and were able to keep Remus company during his transformations. “Prongs” and “Padfoot” were large enough to control “Moony”, and to keep him from harming himself. “Wormtail” was small enough to get past the Whomping Willow tree’s defenses and was able to let everyone else in the tunnel. It is known that werewolves are only danger to humans, not other animals. Although the Shrieking Shack had no windows or doors for Remus to escape through, his friends were able to keep an even better eye on him, and were able to keep him from harming himself as much as he would have if he went through the transformations alone. The Marauders at Hogwarts: First Year: 1971-1972 Second Year: 1972-1973 Third Year: 1973-1974 Fourth Year: 1974-1975 Fifth Year: 1975-1976 Sixth Year: 1976-1977 Seventh Year: 1977-1978 -Facts- -Remus was a prefect while at Hogwarts, though it did not seem to affect the mischief his friends got into. -Quotes- OotP "Did you like question ten Moony?" asked Sirius as the emerged into the entrance hall. "Loved it," said Lupin briskly. "'Give the five signs that identify the werewolf.' Excellent question." "D' you think you managed to get all the signs?" said James in tones of mock concern. "Think I did," said Lupin seriously. "One: He's sitting on my chair. Two: He's wearing my clothes. Three: His name's Remus Lupin..." *Supporters* 1. Brittmyster 2.

| Hi Meg. I'm Brittany, but you can just call me Britt . Everyone else does! I love the Marauders. PoA is prolly my favourite book. Lupin's my fave I'm a sucker for friendship I really hope that she will go back to them. It would be interesting to read some books in their time, just dealing with them. I mean, no they didnt really fight with evil but I mean, their stories I'm sure are def. interesting, enough to write a few books about 'em. __________________ Stop Child Predators "Any girl can be glamorous.
