Here's a who's who of the kids featured in "Of Trinkets and Lies" and some facts about them:
Gilderoy and Peter: 1 kid
Papoula(Lola) (she/her), Hufflepuff.
Her patronus is a butterfly (like her Dad’s). She’s in the same year as Harry (and Ron, Hermione and co.);
Her best friends are Neville and Dylan, but she’s also really close to Hannah Abbott and Susan Bones (her dorm mates. She’s a social butterfly and loves being around people (and being the center of attention).
Academically she’s above average, but not exceptional. and she absolutely sucks at Quidditch. What she excels at is DADA (which makes her become even closer to Harry) and Astronomy (Regulus is her favorite Uncle). She’s also good with Herbology and Dylan, Neville and her can always be found at the Green Houses (Professor Sprout doesn’t even hide who her favorite’s are).
Remus and Sirius: 4 kids
Harper (he/him), a Gryffindor beater and music aficionado (especially blur, muse and radiohead), his patronus and animagus form is a fox.
Ulysses (Ulla) (he/she/they), a Gryffindor as well, and the one to suggest a second generation of animagi-marauders, their animagus & patronus form is an Antipodean Opaleye Dragon. They are in a relationship with Charlie Weasley.
Eloise (she/her), a Slytherin and a troublemaker. Her best friend is her cousin Siri Black-Potter. She’s mostly interested in Care of Magical Creatures like Ulla but she mostly focuses on wild/forest creatures. She’s pretty much always in detention and, when not, you can find her in Hagrid’s hut or around the grounds with him running errands. Her patronus is a Boar.
Scarlett (she/her), Sirius and Remus adopted her later in their lives. She is a Gryffindor and a Lycanthrope. Her patronus is a wolf, nicknamed Moonsies (as is her werewolf form), which she loves very much. Unlike her Dad, she grew up in a home that understands Lycanthropy and how to deal with it. She spends her full moons with her Dads, and, later, with Mia Longbottom and Chiara Farah who are both animagi (maybe James is raising an army of unregistered animagi — he definitely is). James is also her favorite uncle and the two are really close.
She is amazing at flying but cannot be on the Quidditch team due to her condition; still you can always find her, Mia, and James practicing new maneuvers on the Quidditch pitch when it’s far enough from the full moon. Chiara will be animatedly cheering and providing commentary from the stands.
Regulus and James: 5 kids
Cassiopeia Pandora (Cassy) (they/them), they are the eldest out of the Marauders kids. Cassy is a Slytherin Prefect and a Seeker; they are also probably the only person (other than Hermione) who really enjoys History of Magic; when Professor Binns (finally) retires/disappears, they take over as Professor. Cassy’s best friends are Bill Weasley, and Vincent Cresswell. Vincent and Cassy were in the Quidditch team and were prefects together, they started dating right after graduating and got married soon after. Cassy’s patronus is a black swan.
Euphemia Andromeda (Effie) (she/her) - Effie is a Gryffindor, and a Muggle-sports nerd. Once she graduates she becomes a reporter for Muggle sports for the Wizarding World. She is a hardcore Liverpool F.C. supporter. Like Ulla, Harper, Charlie and Bea, she is an animagus. Her animagus and patronus is a Black Jaguar. She’s in a relationship with Bea.
Sirius Fleamont IV (Siri) (he/him) - A Ravenclaw, he is a Potions prodigy and a Cello virtuoso. To the Marauders absolute despair, Severus Snape, back as a Potions Professor, becomes a mentor figure to Siri and they get along really well. Siri’s best friend is Eloise Lupin. His patronus is a Sika Deer.
Leo Alphard (he/him) - Personality-wise Leo is a carbon copy of Regulus. Like his twin, Lyra, he has not shown any signs of magic and studies at Peter’s sister’s school. Pandora, who works at the school, is their favorite aunt.
Lyra Marlene (she/her) - Out of all the kids, Lyra is the one that is the most similar to James. Like her twin brother, she is not a witch. Leo and Lyra’s best friend is Eva Conti.
Marlene and Dorcas: 1 kid
Dylan (he/him). a Hufflepuff, and Quidditch superstar in the making (both of his Moms are professional Quidditch players); he is a chaser but has refused the captaincy every time Cedric offered him, only becoming captain once Cedric graduates (Lola and Dylan are both more-than-slightly obsessed with Cedric). His best friends are Neville Longbottom and Lola Lockhart-Pettigrew. Since they were young, Dylan and Neville are absolutely inseparable. They eventually start dating in Fourth Year (they make their relationship public during the Yule Ball); his patronus is a Kingfisher.
Frank and Alice: 3 kids
Neville (he/him) — Gryffindor. Neville’s personality is pretty canon compliant with the exception that he isn’t as shy/anxious (having been raised by two very loving parents). He is still more on the introspective side, but has good relationships with Dylan Meadowes and Lola Lockhart-Pettigrew, besides all his dorm mates and his two younger sisters. He is a relationship with Dylan Meadowes since their fourth year. His patronus is a lion.
Olive (she/her). Olive is a Hufflepuff, and her greatest passion cooking/baking. She’s always walking around school and having her friends try out whatever new recipe she felt like doing. She is one of Hermione’s greatest supporters on the SPEW endeavor due to her proximity to the Kitchen Elves. Even though she’s younger, Olive is good friends with Eloise and Siri mostly because she’s also really close to Hagrid. Her patronus is a badger.
Mia (she/her). She is a Gryffindor, and a bit hot headed. She is not one to start fights, but definitely one to finish them. She is the youngest out of all the kids.
Like Frank she is a Quidditch goalie. Ginny Weasley is her idol and she spent years copying everything Ginny would do. Her patronus/animagus form is a goat.
Her best friends are Scarlett Lupin and Chiara Farah, and the three of them are James’ favorites (they inherit the Marauders Map from Harper/Ulla/Charlie/Effie/Bea becoming the third generation of unofficial Marauders).
The three of them are also always at the infirmary, Scarlett because of the Lycanthropy, Chiara because she’s clumsy, and Mia because she’s always getting into fights so they are most definitely Poppy’s favorites.
Benjy and Emmeline: 1 kid
Phineas (he/him). Phineas is a Ravenclaw and a multi-disciplinary artist. You can always find him trying different techniques and genres of art (both magical and Muggle). He pinned after Padma Patil for years until Lola arranges for them to go on a date together, and they’ve been together ever since. His patronus is a bowerbird.
Lily and Pandora: 2 kids
(They have mostly canon compliant personalities except that Harry — obviously — doesn’t have Voldemort's soul eating at him from the inside out, and his patronus is a horse. Harry and Luna are a bit of a magical time-bomb, they love experimenting with magic, and creating spells and magic objects not unlike their mothers)
Harry (he/him) Gryffindor
Luna (she/her) Ravenclaw
Even though they are not twins, they pretty much act like they are, and they are extremely protective of each other.
Hestia and Amelia: 2 kids
Esme (she/her) - Esme is a Hufflepuff prankster. She has a love/hate relationship with the Weasley twins, especially George. Both sets of twins start a prank war that lasts about 4 years before they call an official truce once Esme and George start dating. She works with Fred and George at Weasley’s Wizarding Wheezes after they graduate.
Bella (she/her) - Bella is a Hufflepuff and a prankster like her twin. She is very ingenious and gets into the field of magical engineering after graduating.
Mary and Sybill: 1 kid
Nora (she/her they/them), a Ravenclaw (she was a Hatstall — it took the Sorting Hat almost two hours to place her, even though she didn’t argue once, sitting patiently in silence).
Mary, like Gilderoy, was working in the Department of Mysteries, and one day she discovered that a kid was being kept there as a potential Obscurial; using her (and Sybill’s) connections to Dumbledore, they got the kid out of there and adopted them. Nora is a shy and introverted kid, and started Hogwarts late, but they are very gifted academically, and especially with Charms. Professor Lupin becomes a sort of mentor to them. Nora can only cast non-corporeals. She eventually becomes best friends with Johannes Creswell, and later Hermione Granger who likes to study with them.
Nina (Peter’s sister) and Chris: 3 kids
Dante, a Hufflepuff. Casts only a non-corporeal patronus.
Carlo, a Hufflepuff. Cannot cast a patronus.
Chiara, a Gryffindor. She’s best friends with Mia Longbottom and Scarlett Lupin. Her patronus and animagus is a gecko. She is not good at Quidditch, but is completely obsessed with it, getting into hour long discussions about it with James and Dylan. She becomes the Quidditch commentator once Lee Jordan graduates. Chiara is very clumsy and prone to hurting herself, so Gilderoy designed some cute protective mittens that change colors; and she’s also a collector of Gilderoy’s famous butterflies. Peter will never give Gilderoy the pleasure of acknowledging it, but Chiara is probably his #1 fan.
Alessia (Peter’s Sister) and Marco: 1 kid
Eva (she/her) — not a witch, studies at Alessia’s and Nina’s school and is best friends with Lyra and Leo.
Arthur and Molly: 7 kids
(All canon compliant personalities, except for Charlie, — who’s in a relationship with Ulla and they both go together to Romania to study dragons — his patronus wasn’t a dragon before, but it became a Common Green Welsh Dragon once he started dating Ulla), the twins (they have a love/hate relationship with Esme and Bella, who are also pranksters), Percy (him, Penelope Clearwater —his canon girlfriend from book 1-3 — and Claude Creswell are in a very unhealthy-slightly-toxic throuple) and Bill (Cassy Black-Potter is his best friend, and they are each other’s best man on their respective weddings);
Bill
Charlie
Percy
Fred
George
Ron
Ginny
Dirk and Emma: 6 kids
Vincent
Vincent was the Slytherin prefect and Quidditch Captain before Marcus Flint, he is also friends with Bill Weasley and is in a relationship with/married to Cassy Black-Potter;
Claude
Claude is a sly rascal and an absolute magnet for trouble. He’s in a slightly toxic and very co-dependent relationship with Penelope Clearwater and Percy Weasley (but Percy will deny it to his dying day)
Frida
she’s friends with Eloise and Siri. Like Siri she’s good with potions and Eloise may, or may not, have start an illicit business of potion-made alcoholic beverages using the talents of her friends.
Johannes
Johannes is a quiet well-mannered boy who can mostly be seen whispering with Nora Mcdonald by the lake or studying at the library. Like Nora he is a high achiever and both of them first struggle, but then get used to the presence of Hermione Granger asking them thousands of questions.
Artemisia
Artemisia is friends with Blaise and Pansy (and eventually Draco once he stops being a prick). Artemisia and Ginny dated for about a year before they agreed that they were both trying to make up for the fact that they wanted to be with someone else.
Tarsila
Tarsila is a seer, and friends with Luna Evans-Lovegood and Ginny Weasley.
they are all Slytherins and all of their patronus’ are different breeds of dogs.
Muggle-borns:
Beatrice (Bea) (she/her), she didn’t know anything about magic before turning eleven (it was the year her parents moved from Brazil to England, and she got her Hogwarts letter.) She is a Gryffindor and best friends with Ulla, Harper, Effie and Charlie. The professors call them ‘new marauders’ (they kinda hate the name) — her patronus and animagus form is a Capybara. She’s in a relationship with Effie Black-Potter. Even though she had never played or heard of Quidditch before, she becomes a Chaser and follows a professional Quidditch career.
Hermione canon compliant personality except for the fact that she & Lola have a volatile relationship, it changes in Fourth Year when Lola ‘accidentally’ hexes Lavender, and they become good friends after that. She’s also friends with Nora Mcdonald and Johannes Creswell.
If you wanna think about the ages when they are in school:
