Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs -- These names are known by every person in Hogwarts. These names, and an envelope with a scarlet wax seal bearing the letters: MWPP.
The teachers dread it, the students revel in it...but who are these 'Marauders,' as they are called? That's just it. Nobody knows. Most every prank Hogwarts sees is at the hands of these mysterious Marauders, and the perpetrators always walk free. They could never be caught. You can’t catch phantoms.
Lily Evans is just as curious as the next student as to who these Marauders are, but her curiosity is transformed into a hungry need, when she receives a letter herself from a certain Mr. Prongs.

LOve it. It reminds me a little of my food-fight story. Hehe. very intriguing,
It was hard acting jolly when he was in a bit of a nark, but George Weasley pulled it off...Without a date for Fred and Angelina's engagement party, George asks Alicia Spinnet and sees his old mate in a new light.
SOSOSOSOSOSSOOS SWEET!
It is adorable and you write so well!
Author's Response: S\'awful nice of you to say so! Thank you very much!
It was full moon when the Dark Lord sealed a part of his soul within a magical amulet, and then broke it in half. One half was left to the faithful werewolves to guard. The other half was tossed into the impenetrable depths of time where no one but him could get it. When the first half has been found, the Order of the Phoenix selects Hermione Granger to go back into the past to search for the missing piece. What is waiting for her is a brutal task that will test her beyond her limits, and an undying love that extends beyond the boundaries of time.

No werewolves were harmed in the making of this story.
Update (9 May): Chapter 17, Burning, is up! Enjoy!
I like your story a lot. I like time travel fics, and I like the Marauders *snorts* (understatement of the year)....But I also love Ron/Hermione, and obviously this isn't the right for that kind of shipper, but I'm not so particular. One thing though, I know it makes things a whole lot easier when you are writing Hermione with another character to make Ron seem more of an idiot than he is. And honestly, I really don't like that.
I thought your trio was OC. I agree that Harry and Hermione care deeply for each other, but they don't act like mother and father to each other. It's touching how much Hermione worried about Harry, but I'm pretty sure Ron cares just as much. But I can sort of see why you have to write Ron OC, because or else it couldn't be anything Ron/Hermione, as that's the way JK writes.
However, so far, that is the only thing I haven't like. Your writing is nice, and I like the feel of the atmosphere...can't wait for some romance. You have a very intricate plot. I can only imagine how hard it must have been to come up with it. Nice job!

I'd just like to say, that I love seeing the way James loved Harry...its so sad and sweet!
I like the hintings in this chapter. And I like the moment Hermione grabs Peter's arm. I think you portrayed Hermione very well in this chapter.
darned. I thought I was gonna read it. Ah well, guess I'll have to wait.
Poor MEl...but really nice chapter, I loved their little talk...
Aww...Sirius and Sam are my favorites...please don't take long to update (again ;-P), and hey! I just posted my very first story, a James/Lily fic too, and would love it if you had a look at it and told me what you think!
That was REALLY good! It was touching and tragically real. I hope I can write like that some day.
Wow! Good story! Harry and Ginny seemed to make things happen a bit too fast, but I'm guessing they had quite a while of waiting! ;-P
Oh darn! It's not up yet! Well, this is just really sweet and I hope something horrible doesn't happen now. I hate rejections. I just posted my second chapter to my first story and it got rejected too, but I'm gonna keep trying! Hope you do too, I want to read more! And I'd love it if you checked out my story too, by the way;-)
Okay, you need to update! It's been months since you updated. Please?!!!!!!!!
Your story is wonderful and true to the characters. I want more!
YAY! You're updating...after forever...I hope it gets through...
Well, that was sad too...you wrote it real well, I bet that's probably how J.K thought it happened...
Author's Response: Dear GD,
That\'s the nicest thing you could possibly say ... and I certainly hope that\'s how JK thought it happened.
Thanks for taking the trouble to review,

That's sad about her family...but still real good. And I love that bit about her first week at Hogwarts, especially the bit about Professor Pavo, Ha!
Author's Response: Dear GD,
Yes, I think you understand why her parents behave they way they do when you realise what their own lives were like. And I\'m so glad that you understood about Professor Pavo - I was wondering if anyone would!
Thanks for keeping up the reviews,
GhV
Wow, that's horrible!
But on a happier note, I like the way you make Remus's parents support him. I've read many stories where they start ignoring him after he gets bitten, but I like this kind better. And I like the way they all become friends too.
Author's Response: Dear Gin Drinka,
Yes, horrible, isn\'t it? My son nearly cried, which is why I had to give a PG-13 rating. I actually wrote this pre-HBP, but I didn\'t have to change anything. That werewolf could easily be Greyback.
I am surprised to hear about stories where Remus\'s parents don\'t support him. With his good manners, hard work and genuine compassion, I always assumed that he came from a very strong family. Of course, he doesn\'t seem to have anyone by PoA time... but that\'s many years later.
I think Remus would be friends with anyone who made the first move to him, while James and Sirius would never leave out anyone who accepted their lead, so it was just a case of bringing everyone together. But I hope JKR will tell us more about why they hated Snape so much!
Thanks for your support,
GhV
That's interesting about Veleta...I was guessing something like this. I really like all of her friends, I hope we'll see more of them.
Author's Response: Dear Gin Drinka,
Yes, the friends will be an important part of the plot. Richard Campion will end up as Ernie Macmillan\'s brother-in-law, so that makes him almost canon!
Thanks for reviewing,
GhV
I like the way this was done, but i think that Remus seems not to like his friends very much. A sort of 'I can't do better, so I'll stick with what I have', thing.
Author's Response: Dear GD,
I definitely think he didn\'t like them (especially Sirius) very much on the morning after The Prank. But don\'t worry, he\'ll think better of it - and I like to think that Sirius learned something too. I find the whole thing very uncomfortable, and I hope JKR will tell us more about it in Book VII.
Thanks for reviewing,
GhV
Oh my! What will those horrible little beasts do now? poor Veleta...
Author's Response: They will report straight back to their horrible beastly grandfather, and what he will do, you don\'t want to know... GhV
How horrible! How sad! How...very tragic!
Author's Response: Ariadne thought so too, and she is very grateful for your condolences. GhV
