The main characters are Harry Potter for sure. He's the one who is reborn into the Marauders era. Then there are his parents, James and Lily. They are important as Harry gets to know them in a whole new way. The Marauders are also central. Sirius, with his wild and loyal nature, Remus with his werewolf secret, and Peter, who later betrays them in the original story. Their relationships with Harry add a lot of depth to the story.
In such fanfiction, a plot point could be Harry's relationship with Snape. Since he knows Snape's story from his own time, he might try to change their relationship for the better. Maybe he could help Snape deal with his feelings for Lily in a more positive way. Also, Harry's experience with dark magic threats in his time could make him more proactive in dealing with the early signs of Voldemort's rise in the Marauders era.
Well, it could be some new students who are very much like the original Marauders in terms of their mischievous nature and loyalty to their friends. Maybe a Gryffindor with a great sense of adventure, a Hufflepuff who is unexpectedly brave and loves to get into fun, a Ravenclaw with a brilliant mind for coming up with pranks, and a Slytherin who has a soft spot for his new group of friends.
Well, 'Marauders' is purely fictional. It was crafted by the imagination of the writers, not inspired by any actual happenings. The story and characters were made up for entertainment purposes.
One great female marauders fanfiction is 'The Marauders' Era: A Girl's Perspective'. It offers a unique take on the Marauders' time at Hogwarts from a female character's point of view. The character development is well - done and it weaves in interesting plotlines related to the original Marauders' story.
Friendship is a common theme. Just like in the original marauders' story, female characters in these fanfics form strong bonds with each other and with the male marauders. Another theme is self - discovery. Female protagonists often go on a journey to find out who they really are in the magical world.
One common theme is friendship. Since the Marauders were known for their tight - knit group, OCs often form strong friendships with them. Another is adventure, as they go on various quests and escapades.
One great fanfiction could be 'Time's Twist'. In this story, Hermione travels back in time and meets the Marauders. The author does an amazing job of showing how Hermione's modern knowledge clashes with the Marauders' era. It has some really interesting plot twists like how Hermione tries to prevent certain events from happening but ends up causing new ones. Another one is 'Marauder Era with a Time - Traveling Hermione' which focuses more on the relationships she forms with the Marauders. She becomes friends with them and they learn a great deal from her. There's also 'Hermione's Time - Jump to the Marauders' Time' which is known for its detailed descriptions of the Marauder's time period through Hermione's eyes.
There's also 'The Marauders' Map to Nowhere'. This fic takes an interesting twist on the concept of the Marauders' Map and creates a whole new adventure for the characters. It has a great plot full of mystery and friendship elements.
The appeal lies in the characters. The Marauders are such interesting and complex characters. Their friendship and the bond they share is something that fans love to explore more in fanfiction.
