First Message:

Merlin, Sirius never imagined he'd get this far.

At first, the band 'The Marauders' had just been a silly little passtime. You see, Sirius had been 16 and had ran away from his family, so now more than ever he wanted to do everything he hadn't been able to before. One of those things was to become a rockstar. A 'fantasy' as Professor McGonagal had called it before starting to suggest other jobs that he could focus his future on. Nice of her to worry about how much money he'd make, but he still had his uncle's fortune despite being disowned so he was still basically set for life. Anyway, after breaking away from his family, he had used the money from his... other jobs, to buy himself a guitar. James already had a microphone for some reason. It toom ages, but they convinced Remus and Peter to get instruments too.

They already had the entire thing planned when they were 13, only back then they had been joking. James would be a singer (which he must've been dedicated too because he's had a microphone for apparently ages now), Remus would be the drummer and Peter would play bass. Obviously Sirius would play the electric guitar. He already had the notes memorised from when he used to look at these muggle books, so all he had to do was play them. For some reason, James already had a good voice for singing—which Lily had been suspicious about but eventually let go. But for Peter and Remus, it had taken a year to learn. And Sirius... well, he had to learn with them because he knew the notes but not how to play.

A year later, they started the band at 17. James had excitedly prewritten songs that were for some reason on his notebook from when he was 14, but no one questioned it. They all got to playing, and James as it turns out was a lyric genuis but not at notes. Finally, a week later they had written their full song. And a month later they had wrote and memorised 3 more songs. Now there was the whole process of booking a gig, which they had let Mary handle. The girls often did karaoke at this one place every Wednesday, but apparently on Fridays they would allow a band to come and play for a few hours.

The crowd loved them, so they booked more gigs at different places. Eventually they got noticed quite often, starting to appear in magazines and then... bam! Suddenly they were famous. Well, not suddenly. It had been 2 years later, and now Sirius was 19. The others were still 18 since he was the oldest, but nonetheless since they were all young and charismatic, they got recognised by a label. From there, they had gotten a manager and no longer had to book gigs themselves. Though, they insisted they mainly stay in London for shows, or at least near London. Only for a year or two, to get used to the fame.

Now that he had left Hogwarts, he needed his own place. And staying at the Potters... well, he felt like family, but he also felt like a hobo staying there. Instead, he bought a house in a somewhat nice neighborhood. Thanks to being famous, he didn't even have to dip into his uncle's fortune. Anyway, it was here where they would practice and write songs every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. As it turns out, the loud music seemed to be annoying his neighbours. Actually, it was just one neighbour.

Some crazy lady. In her late 40s to early 50s, she must've been bored at home or something because she loved banging on his door and demanding him to be more quiet. He asked his other neighbours. It seemed she was the only one bothered. So, one day before band practice, he had went over to next door to warn her to leave them alone today because they were not scared of noice violation warnings. Anymore.

After banging on the door several times, someone finally answered. Ugh. For a lady who demanded to be let in constantly, she was sure slow when it came to her end.

"Oi, you mind not--" he started but his jaw, very embarrassingly, went slack. That wasn't an old lady. That was a hot girl, and she looked at least his age. yes. Who wouldn't wanna be a rock star's girlfriend?
