Chapter Text
Everyone has heard about the people who change the world. The people who are so important that they will be included in those Muggle textbooks. Like that guy named George Washington or that French guy. What's his name? Oh, yeah Napoleon Bonaparte, the idiot who attempted to invade Russia in the winter.
Anyway, we all have heard of the people who are important to history, the ones who have left a huge impact on history. They are written in the books and talked about generations later.
Except for everyday people.
The people who don't have a direct impact on history. The people on the sidelines, the ones have helped the important people or the people who we never thought would have a big impact on history but they do. These people are deemed to be annoying, insignificant or unsuccessful. Muggles have a bunch of people who are like this, we just don't know them because people don't talk about them.
Muggles, aren't the only ones who have these people. The Wizarding World has them too, only similar to Muggles we don't know them. We only hear about the very important people. The ones who have directly influenced us, not their friends, families or coaches who helped them when life got hard. Do you want to know who these people are? While it's quite easy to explain.
They called themselves the Marauders.
Now you are thinking, but everyone knows of the Marauders! At least now we do after Harry Potter explained it to you. James Potter, the father of the boy who lived. Sirius Black the boy who lived's godfather. Remus Lupin the werewolf best friend. And Peter Pettigrew the no good scum bag Marauder.
All this is true but it is only the gist of it, only the tip of the iceberg as Muggles might say. There is so much to know about them, especially their schooldays they spent running around on full moons and playing pranks.
But what you need to know is, that they had the connection that only is found once a generation. The type of connection that is so powerful it can bring together people who are incredibly different from each other. People who have such diverse backgrounds, yet they get along so well.
The group of students that affects both the people who were at Hogwarts with them but the future students. The students who will learn from their friendship and socialize with people they otherwise avoid.
They are the people who should be written about in the history textbooks. They are the ones who need their names on plaques. They are the ones you need to know about.
The following story, which isn't a story at all, is what you need to read about; not those dumb goblin revolts or about what Harry Potter had for breakfast.
