The year is currently 1974. We are still in the years when the Marauders are still in school pranking everyone in their round. Of course that dark and terible things are happening outside in the magical world beyond Hogwarts and it's secrets. A dark wizard who named himself Lord Voldemort it's preparing to raise to power.
He is gathering a lot of followers, to have the wizardry world at his feet. Meanwhile Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts trying t protect his students. He and professor Horace Slughorn know better the man behind all his, the sweet boy, once named Thomas Riddle.
However for four boys from Gryffindor House, this things are pure non-sense, they principal occupation is to prank, to make jokes, and to laugh, calling themselves, marauders (Prongs, Padfoot, Moony, Wormtail. They consider Hogwarts the place where friendships last, love rules, and the safety is present. In fact that isn't true anymore, because a terror lies in the air.
James Potter or known as prongs is the leader of the Marauders and he is Prefect and Quidditch Captain in a few words he is the most popular boy from his year, pretty ambitious and he is in love with a muggle-born from his year, Lily Evans, a wise Gryffindor who is also a prefect. He constantly hates a Slytherin named Severus Snape which is a half-blood also in love with the same girl as him.
Sirius Black is the first of the Black who had the courage to be the opposite of it's family. He is different of them which made the sorting hat place him in Gryffindor and not in Slytherin. He is the one who broke his family rule, of ages bing in the same house, Slytherin. He is brave, and he supports every minut his best friends, and he is capable to sacrifice himself for the walefare of them.
Remus Lupin is a boy which has been bitten by the werewolf transformed Ferenir Greback. Since his childhood he was constantly freacked that he would not be accepted at Hogwarts, but the Headmaster accepted him and like the other marauders he was sorted into Gryffindor.
Peter Pettigrew is the last and the most weakest of the marauder's. He is capable to betray his friends for his own good, he thinks that he is the most powerfull of all and like the others he is capable to take an animal shap (Animagus).
A thousand years or more ago
when I was newly sewn,
there lived four wizards of renown,
whose names are still well known:
bold Gryffindor, from wild moor,
fair Ravenclaw, from glen,
sweet Hufflepuff, from valley broad,
shrewd Slytherin, from fen.
They shared a wish, a hope, a dream,
they hatched a daring plan
to educate young sorcerers
thus Hogwarts School began.
Now each of these four founders
formed their own house, for each
did value different virtues
in the ones they had to teach.

Now each of these four founders
formed their own house, for each
did value different virtues
in the ones they had to teach.
By Gryffindor, the bravest were
Prized far beyond the rest;
For Ravenclaw, the cleverest
would always be the best;
For Hufflepuff, hard workers were
Most worthy of admission;
And power-hungry Slytherin
loved those of great ambition.
While still alive they did divide
Their favorites from the throng,
Yet how to pick the worthy ones
When they were dead and gone?
'Twas Gryffindor who found the way,
He whipped me off his head
The founders put some brains in me
So I could choose instead!
Now slip me snug about your ears,
I've never yet been wrong,
I'll have a look inside your mind
And tell where you belong!

In times of old, when I was new,
And Hogwarts barely started,
The founders of our noble school
Thought never to be parted.
United by a common goal,
They had the selfsame yearning
To make the world's best magic school
And pass along their learning.
"Together we will build and teach"
The four good friends decided.
And never did they dream that they
Might some day be divided.
For were there such friends anywhere
As Slytherin and Gryffindor?
Unless it was the second pair
Unless it was the second pair
Of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw,
So how could it have gone so wrong?
How could such friendships fail?
Why, I was there, so I can tell
The whole sad, sorry tale.
Said Slytherin, "We'll teach just those
Whose ancestry's purest."
