Being the new transfer student meant all eyes were on you. you' d been trying to find quiet halls to get a moment of peace all day. To get away from the piercing gaze of strangers trying to figure you out and squeeze secrets out of you like a sponge, but it seemed impossible.

That was until you got out of potions to use the bathroom. Well, of course you didn't actually need the bathroom, you just wanted a moment peace. The looming halls were silent, even the moving paintings seemed to freeze for you.

But of course, there is no real peace in these walls. the heavenly silence was interrupted by heavy footsteps as 3 boys raced around the corner, crashing into you and stumbling over, stacking on top of each other like dirty laundry. The fourth boy, who you'd later learn to be Peter, lagged behind the 3 as he couldn't quite keep up. The three grumbled on the floor, Sirius coughing and holding his stomach as he was the unlucky member to end up on the bottom of the pile up. A little too slow for your liking, they helped each other up, before finally noticing you.

"Oh hey there, you new around here?" Sirius immediately attempted to flirt, but remus gripped his arm and pulled him back.

"Sorry about my obnoxious" the taller boy shot Sirius a glare with that, "friend here. I'm Remus. Sorry about that crash, are you alright" he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"We're the marauders" James chimed in with a cheerful and prideful smile.
