Christmas With The Marauders

by Bookwomandkuramalover

It's the Christmas Holidays and Lily wanted James, Sirius, Reus and Peter to spend it with her and her family.

Lily already sent an owl asking permission if they can come with Lily. They're just waiting for it to come back with the reply. The trip back is still a week and a half away but since James and the others are pure blood wizards and know nothing whatsoever about Muggle Life, Lily has to teach them everything they need to know as soon as possible.

"Rule number one," Lily said, "my dad is very strict, so you lot better not be messing about."

"Us?" Sirius said innocently. "We would never do anything like that, will we James?" he nudged James in the elbow.

"Of course!" James said, nodding quickly.

Lily raised her eyebrow at both of them. If you're given a chance to describe James and Sirius, it will certainly not be innocent.

"Rule number two," Lily continued, glaring at each of them. Peter recoiled at her glare. "There will be no magic inside the house. Espescially when Petunia is around."

Sirius' and James' faces fell. "Why not?" James wailed.

"Because we're not allowed to use magic in front of muggles and Petunia thinks that magic are for freaks." Lily said, ticking of her point with her fingers.

"Petunia?" Remus aked. "Your sister? The horsey faced one?"

"The only one." Lily sighed. "Sometimes I wonder why we're even related."

"You can say that again." Remus agreed. "Petunia's just ugly-no offense meant to you," he said to Lily-"and her attitude's much to be desired."

James looked at Remus in bewilderement. "How do you know all this stuff?"

"I've already been to her house." Remus answered quietly.

"Petunia even took a liking to him." Lily added.

Remus blushed a deep red. Lily couldn't help but giggle. Peter smiled at him and Sirius and James were shaking in uncontrollable laughter.

"Pe-petunia t-t-too-ook a liking to you?" Sirius said, still shaking. "Man, I feel very sorry for you."

Remus blushed even deeper. "Stop it! That was a long time ago! Way before she knew that I was a wizard!"

"Then after Petunia knew that he was a wizard, she started looking at him with utmost revoltion." Lily said, matter-of-factly.

"Now, is everything clear?" Lily asked.

"Yes, Professor Evans!" the four boyts chorued together.

Lily sneered at them one last time before going to the her dormitory. Just as she was about to climb up the stairs, her owl, Wisdom, came flying over with a letter tied around her leg. Lily gasped with delight. "That must be their answer!" she cried happily.

The owl landed on the wooden table where the Marauder and Lily and her best friend, Casey (also a muggle, she'll be over in the holidays too, but she doesn't really need the rules), do their homework. James untied the letter from Wisdom's leg and handed it to Lily. Lily read the letter our loud:

Dear Lily,

We would love to have your guests for the Chritmas Holidays. Just keep it too the maximum of five people, not including you. It can be anyone of your friends. The bigger the appettite, the better! See you soon, honey!

Love,

Mum and Dad

"Great! That's just enough people with the four of you and Casey!" Lily said excitedly.

Sirius pouted. "You mean Casey's coming with us?" Sirius asked sadly.

"Why? Do you have a problem with that, Siri?" a voice asked, making everyone jump.

They didn't need to turn around to know who it was. It's Lily's best friend, Casey. She's really pretty, though she's modest about it. She has very dark brown eyes, dark hair and olive skin. She has traces of Asian decent because of her small nose. She's also the greatest pranker next to the Marauders. She's even better than Lily. She and Sirius have an on-going rivalvy to see who's better at pulling pranks and it started ever since first year.

"Oh, hello, Casey! We were just talking about you!" Sirius said, in his best mum-imitation voice.

"Yeah," Lily said. "Mum said that you can come over."

"Allright!" Casey cried.

"Along with Sirius and the others." Lily added as an afterthought.

"Oh." Casey said, her shoulders slounching like it's just beenm deflated. James acted hurt.

"Why, Casey? Don't you like us for company?" James asked in mock hurtness.

"Oh, you're fair enough," Casey said, playing along. "And so is Remus and Peter. But Sirius, man, SERIOUSLY-"

"Don't play with the name, Sanchez." Sirius said warningly.

Casey ignored him. "SIRIUS-ly, man, Sirius is just SIRIUS-ly off his head!"

"I'm warning you, Sanchez."

"But I'm sirius about this, really I am. Sirius is just siriusly, oh man, I don't know what, he's just siriusly-

"THAT IS IT, WOMAN! YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR! YOU ARE DEAD!" Sirius finally shouted, homicidal thoughts going through his head as he chased Casey towards the girl' dormitories.

"I see no reason why the two of them are suppose to hate each other." Remus said, looking after them. "It's like a cycle. They start teasing each other, then Casey mocks his name and then they chase each other, swearing each other's murder."

"Well, I can only write one diagnosis for this." James said, looking at Remus, then Lily, then Peter. "They're in love." they said altogether.
