Moments with the Marauders
Anomaly– Something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected.
Sirius Black was an anomaly. Here he was, in Gryffindor, while the rest of his family was in Slytherin. Whilst the rest of the Black family was cold, calculating and probably slightly mad, he was bouncy, loud and mischievous (though he was most likely a bit mad too).
Remus Lupin was an anomaly. You see, he was a werewolf. Every full moon, he would feel as if he was being ripped apart, and the only reprieve he got was when his friends became animagi for him.
Peter Pettigrew was an anomaly. The only coward in Gryffindor. He would jump onto a couch screaming if a spider was found in the common room (in his defence, it was usually Ludo Bagman's tarantula that made its way into the common room, though how exactly was a mystery, as Ludo was a Hufflepuff), and didn't even try to defend himself or his friends against the Slytherin's insults.
James Potter was an anomaly. He was a pureblood, but he was chasing after a muggleborn. He was looked down on by most other purebloods because of this. James was sexy and wanted after (like most of the Marauders), but he had eyes for no one but Lily.
The four of them were anomalies, but that's what made them such great friends.
Accusations– A charge or claim that someone has done something illegal or wrong.
"You kissed her!" James strode into the common room to hear Remus accusing Sirius of kissing someone in a harsh whisper.
"What's new? Sirius kisses everyone." James sighed, dropping down next to the pair.
Remus and Sirius exchanged alarmed looks, and Sirius started to whistle innocently.
Remus glared at Sirius, and decided to tell James the truth. "That might be true, but this time, Sirius kissed a certain Lily Evans."
"What?" James stood up instantly, and yanked out his wand, aiming it at his supposed best friend.
"Fine! I admit it. I did kiss her." Sirius confessed.
"Why?" James asked angrily.
"Because she was choking! I gave her the kiss of life."
"Sirius here has been reading muggle picture books, and in one of them, it gave instructions on how to do mouth to mouth resuscitation. Sirius, of course, wanted to try it out, and the perfect opportunity came at breakfast this morning." Remus grumbled.
"Where was I during this?" James exclaimed. "I should have been the one to administer the kiss of life! Man, what is wrong with you?"
"James, you were in detention. Cleaning the bed-pans in the Hospital Wing." Remus reminded him.
"Oh yeah… I still can't believe that you kissed Lily before me!" James exclaimed.
"James, mate, calm down. It was fate. Obviously Lily just likes me better." That's when James tackled Sirius to the ground.
