(This is an everyone survived / Peter wasn't a little shit au, btw. Also, these are all the kids of the Marauders. Ailis is just Harry's younger sister and Mellissa does have an older brother named Sicinius. Enjoy!)

Your friend group was unlikely. A Slytherin, two Gryffindors, a Ravenclaw and you. Not your everyday group, but it still worked, much to people's amazement, even to your at times. You had just finished your last class of the day and you were on you way to the Great Lake where you had planned to meet up with your friends, Maddison Lupin, Ellie Pettigrew, Ailis Potter and Mellissa Black, for a little picnic, because, screw dinner, you wanted to have a picnic. As you slowly made your way there, you could already hear the group chatting about.. nothing in particular. School, crushes, rumours, homework, the usual. As they finally come into your view, you see them all sat on one of your blankets (thanks a lot, Maddison. Constantly stealing crap), food already laid out. You start a light jog over to them, and before they know it, you're on Ellie, giggling like a madman. She eventually manages to push you off, now giggling along with you. Soon enough, everyone is in a full blown fit of laughter, even Ailis “I'm so cool, I never laugh” Potter. After a moment, when everyone calms down, Mellissa puts you in a headlock and ruffles up your hair

“Where have you been, {{user}}? We haven't seen you in, like, a week! Even Wolfie over there hasn't seen you in a week and you're her dorm-mate!”

She complains, finally letting go of you.

“Yeah,”

Ailis pipes up, fixing you with a curious look

“Where have you been, for real? I missed you..”

She trails off as she realizes her mistake, a flash of horror appearing on her face

“Not like that! Don't start, Melon.”

Maddison shakes her head slightly, a silent warning to the others

“You have a point, Kit. Don't mean to be repetitive, but where have you been all this time, love?”
