Full explanation of your caradoc/emmeline/hufflepuff centric friend group when
started out from me saying how the marauders would not have been the popular group (james would be popular and well-liked, sirius popular but less liked, and remus and peter only known through their friendship with james and sirius). but as a group, they're too ostracising/exlusionary towards others
so the actual popular group is made up predominantly of the hufflepuffs in the marauders year (with a few people from others houses). it includes caradoc, edgar, hestia, benjy, emmeline, amos, florence, florence's boyfriend, davey (mary sometimes hangs out with them, and james gets on with them all very well, but prefers hanging out with the marauders)
most of them are y'know. your classic popular people (at least on the surface)
caradoc is hufflepuff chaser and captain, cloested gay. best friends with edgar, hestia, and benjy. acts like he's in charge of the group
edgar is hufflepuff beater, straight. best friends with caradoc, hestia and amos. thinks of sirius as his rival in wooing girls (he has terrible gaydar)
hestia is hufflepuff chaser, straight. best friends with edgar, caradoc, and amos. joined the group when befriending the hufflepuff boys just after the sorting
benjy is ravenclaw seeker, gay. best friends with caradoc. became part of the group when partnering up with caradoc in potions in first year and instantly becoming close
emmeline is gryffindor, lesbian. best friends with mary and florence. became part of the group from her general socialness and wanting to find more friends other than mary in first year (especially with mary dividing her tine with marlene)
amos is hufflepuff keeper, straight. best friends with edgar and hestia. smartest of the group, but mostly cause he works the hardest
florence is ravenclaw. best friends with emmeline. part of the group mostly cause of emmeline but also after befriending benjy in class in first year
florence's boyfriend is ravenclaw keeper. best friends with florence. is friends with the others but mostly follows florence around (HE is the golden retriever boyfriend)
davey is slytherin in the year below the others. doesn't really have a best friend. hangs out with the group because his roommates don't like him and the group thinks he's funny
(bertram aubrey was previously in this group, but I've changed my mind. i now think he was a very obnoxious nerd, always boasting about his intellect and correcting people (hence james and sirius' prank on him.. although bit hypocritical on their part)

i'm growing invested in your popular marauder era group. tell us more!
thank you!!
okay so. the group is basically the hufflepuffs; caradoc dearborn, edgar bones, amos diggory, hestia jones, and the ravenclaws; benjy fenwick, florence and her boyfriend, and bertram aubrey. emmeline vance (gryff) hangs out with them a lot, as well as davey gudgeon (slyth). mary and james sometimes hang out with them, getting on with them and mary being close to emmeline, but isn't really part of the friendgroup since they hang out with others more.
most of them are straight, athletic, okay in classes but puts socialising above academics. your standard popular people (at least when i was in school). caradoc and benjy are in love but caradoc would never want to be openly gay or in a long term relationship with a guy so they mostly try to ignore their feelings (benjy less so). they're literally like cedric's friend group? like that small scene we get of them, just lounging around, subtly making fun of harry.
davey is regulus and evan's roommate but he's like the himbo people make james into. very bubbly, social, happy, a little dumb. regulus hates him. davey does not realise that.
I've talked about emmeline a lot, and why she hangs out with other people rather than being in mary/lily/marlene's friend group (there is no drama/hate, its just who she grew closer to in first year). but shew does split her time between this group, her roommates, and sybill & pandora
bertram aubrey i do not have much hc for. he's just There. your standard guy. had a crush on mary for a while, was her first date. she did not want another.
florence is an icon. she is narcissa without the family trauma and lesbianism. close friends with emmeline, goes to all her band's gigs. wanted to be a healer. her boyfriend is literally ken.
benjy fenwick is very gay. dated peter for a bit. made out with sirius a few times. is deeply in love with caradoc. seeker on ravenclaw quidditch team. secretly listens to the beatles.
hestia is a year above the marauders but hangs out with people in the year below (like dorcas). dated edgar for a while. the cool, popular girl. would be accused of being a 'pick me' in todays society.
amos diggory. the nerd. purely because he's the smartest and tries the most in class, he's really not that nerdy. is keeper on hufflepuff quidditch team and was a prefect.
edgar was chaser on hufflepuff quidditch team. rugby lad vibes. wanted to be an auror but didn't get the grades so he joined the order, not having a backup plan. from liverpool, bonds with james over that.
caradoc is very closeted and has no desire of changing that. deeply in love with benjy. middle class. catholic. chaser on hufflepuff quidditch team and was captain.
