This chapters going to be about Christmas morning. I hope you like it!

"PRONGS, MOONY!" Sirius yelled jumping on his bed; he was bent over so he didn't hit his head on the ceiling. You still couldn't see the top of his head because it was covered by the drape over his canopy bed. "WAKE UP! IT'S CHRISTMAS" Sirius jumped off his bed and ran down the stairs.

James lifted his head up off his pillow his messy black hair fell into his eyes.

"Do you think we should do what he says?" He asked Remus. Remus didn't answer, he was still asleep. "You are such a deep sleeper" he laughed, and heard the door creek open. Lily stood at the door way. She looked very tired… and very pissed off.

"That Sirius sure is loud" She smiled. He looked at her; she was beautiful, her bright green eyes twinkling, her red hair sticking all frizzy, a Gryffindor sweater on, James smiled, slowly starting to show all his teeth. Lily walked towards him and lied down on his bed, her body sinked into the sheets.

"Sirius is loud." James started "But not loud enough to wake up Remus." He nudged his head towards the bed beside him, Remus was sound asleep covered with big blankets. HE got very cold during the night.

Lily stared back at James. He looked deep into her eyes trying to find out what she was thinking, but the truth was, he couldn't. Lily saw that he wasn't succeeding at the whole reading her mind thing so she decided to talk.

"I lo-" but she got cut off.

"I'M OPENING YOUR PRESENTS!" they heard Sirius yell from the common room. Remus sat right up.

"SIRIUS IF YOU EVEN TOUCH ONE OF MY NAME TAGS YOU ARE DEAD" Remus took all of his heavy blankets off him and ran down the stairs.

"James" Lily said getting out of James's bed quickly. "Get up, he's gonna take our presents!" She ran down the stairs to the common room.

James slowly got out of bed, she was going to say I love you, but Sirius had to wreck all of that. Oh well, it was Christmas… wait it was Christmas… His presents!

"I ink e sould o dwn ttto te reat all" Sirius said, his mouth was filled with pumpkin pasties, mixed with a cauldron cake.

"Ew Sirius!" Riley half yelled. "Close your mouth, chew, swallow, then talk"

"Where's the fun in that?" he asked grinning. Sirius had swallowed by now.

"Sirius is right we should go down to the great hall." James interrupted.

"You knew what he was saying" Riley joked.

"When you live with him for the summer, you get used to it"

That night, they were all up in the guys' dormitory. Riley, Lily, James, and Sirius, were all sitting on James's bed. Remus was already asleep. It was now one a.m., and they were talking about their years at Hogwarts.

"I remember in first year, when Sirius, and James. Snuck out in the middle of the night to McGonagall's classroom to steal the essays the class had written" Riley said, taking a gulp of her butterbeer.

"That's not as bad as when we hid out in the library one night and rearranged all the books." James laughed. "I went in there a couple days ago and there were still transfiguration books in the history of magic section."

"That was you?" Lily asked shocked.

"Hey! We were in first year, we didn't know any better, and it's not like we went there."

"You boys, are ssssoooooooo, immature"

"No, now it's only Sirius who's immature"

"And proud of it" Sirius said.

Riley rolled her eyes, while James and Lily laughed.

"What do you think is going to happen to all of us when we get out of Hogwarts?" Lily asked more seriously.

"I know exactly what's going to happen." James started. "You and me are going to get married, Sirius will be my best man, and you can pick your bridesmaids I don't care about them."

"James!" Lily laughed as she playfully hit him. "You should care who my bridesmaids are!" but James ignored her.

"The wedding will be by the ocean somewhere, and there will be a lot of white roses. Then our honeymoon will be in Italy for two weeks, then after that we're going to by a house and two months later we're going to have a baby boy, named Harry, after my father. Then when Harry's two we're going to have a little girl and you're going to get to name her. I'm not good with girl names" James finished.

"Have you given this any thought James" Lily joked. Just then Sirius fell out of the bed and landed with a big thud on the ground.

"OW" He yelled lifting his head up, he had just hit it on the mahogany table beside James's bed.

"Be quiet!" Riley hissed. "You'll wake Remus up!"

"That boy can sleep through anything" James told Riley. "You could light fireworks in his bed and he'll just mutter something and turn around."

"Have you tried?"

"No, but Sirius does it all the time."

"Sirius!"

"What?" He said he was starting to get up off the floor. "It's not like he's going to know what I do, he's always asleep!"

"How did you fall anyways?" Lily asked seeing that he was still on the ground.

"I don't know" Sirius replied trying tot think how he fell off that very high bed. "One minute I was on it, the next, I wasn't."

"You're weird"

"Why would you say that?" Sirius asked as he started chewing on his sock, while it was still on his foot. Lily laughed.

"James, do you want to go for a walk?" Lily asked through her tears, she was laughing so hard.

"Okay"

Lily and James were under the invisibility cloak as they opened the door to go outside. They weren't supposed to be out this late. They got to the lake and sat under the beech tree, they always sit at.

"James" Lily said getting his attention after a little while.

"Yeah?" he answered.

"Well yesterday I went and talked to Dumbledore about… you-know-who" James nodded. "And well… he told me that you-know-who has seven horcruxes.

"Horcruxes?"

"It's when you split your soul into two, only you-know-who split his into seven."

"Ew" James joked.

"Well, all of them are spread out; all we know is that there is a locket somewhere in England." Lily looked very worried. "Riley has known about this since her seventeenth birthday… that's when her dad died, he was killed by… him"

"Yeah"

"She has been trying to figure out where it is for a long time, and when she finds it she is going to take it."

James looked out onto the lake, tomorrow was going to be a full moon. Remus had been feeling horrible lately; the only thing that got him happy was his presents. The marauders were just a bunch of big 4 year olds.

"James?" Lily asked waking him up from his thoughts.

"Wha- sorry I was just thinking."

"Its fine, it's just" She stopped for a moment, thinking whether or not she should tell James. "It's just, I want to help her get it, I want us to help her get it."

James looked down, wow, he thought fighting Voldemort at the age seventeen too, that's a lot of pressure, but I'll do it, as long as I have my friends with me.

"Is Sirius helping?" he asked.

"Yeah, anything to make his parents pissed at him"

"That's Sirius! Remus too?"

"Well, I don't know, only if he says yes"

"Oh, he will"

"Dumbledore wants to make an organization for this too; after we get out of school"

"What's it gonna be called?"

"The order of the phoenix"

"I like birds" Said Sirius sitting down next to them.

"Holy crap!" James yelled. "When did you get here?"

"I don't know, I can't tell time." Sirius joked.

"You'll never grow up, will you?" Lily asked.

"What's the fun of growing up?" Sirius said. "When you're grown up, you can't be like me!"

Sirius hopped up and skipped along to the Hogwarts castle.

"I don't want to grow up either" James whispered to Lily.

"Me neither, that is if I don't grow up I get to be like Sirius, everyone loves Sirius"

"I don't"

"Then who do you love?"

"you"

"I lo-" but she got cut off by Sirius's scream.

"I'M TAKING YOUR PRESENTS" They looked to see the upper part of Sirius's body out the window, holding a little box.

"YOU IDIOT" Lily yelled back. "I'M ALREADY WEARING MY PRESENT"

She was wearing it around her neck; it was a gold locket that James had given her. Inside there was a picture of her and on the other side a picture of the giant squid, in tiny writing it read, are you sure you want him over me? She opened the locket and laughed. James was standing beside her.

"Just to make sure" He said pretending to sound nervous "who would you rather go out with now?"

"It's still the giant squid" Lily said "Just, you're a better kisser."
