"Do you think Sirius would faint if I kissed you in the middle of the dance floor in front of everyone?", Lily asked James as she played with his hair. They were on the floor beside the fire, Lily propped against a chair and James laying with his head in her lap.

"No, but we might be able to get him to scream like a girl."

"That would be fun."

"Don't tell me that is your plan for pranking them."

"What's wrong with it?", Lily demanded, her temper beginning to raise.

"It's simplistic. We need a blowout, this has been building up for seven years we have to make something amazing happen."

"Well I will have you know that us being together is amazing enough in my opinion."

"I know love, but we need something that will make Dumbledore himself faint."

"Or scream like a girl."

"Or scream like a girl."

"Which is nothing wrong at all."

"Coming from a girl its not," James smirked.

"Well then what is better then my plan?"

"I don't know. I'll go find out if they have anything planned. Maybe we can build out prank out of their prank. I'll be back," James said as he stood up and kissed Lily on the head. He was almost at the portrait hole when Lily called out his name.

"Oh, and James?"

"Yes?"

"It's Lily, not love. Don't you call me that again."

"Yes love," James grinned as he walked out of the room.

James walked straight to the kitchens to meet up with his friends. He had given Lily the impression that he had no clue what they would be up to, but in reality Sirius had invited him to come plan their Christmas prank. He was relieved to have a valid reason for seeking out his friends tonight, things had just started to go right for him and Lily and he didn't want her to think that he was going to resort to being a troublemaker now.

"Do I need to give you detention for bribing house elves, Black?" James asked, causing Sirius to jump and turn around nearly dropping an armful of cakes.

"Aw, come on now Prongs. We Marauders have a busy night tonight."

"How did you get away from Lily?" Remus asked, his head searching a shelf for more food.

"Seduced her, tied her up, and left her there. She fell for it like a confunded troll."

His rolled their eyes and left. They knew he was lying, but what they didn't know that James seducing Lily was actually quite a possibility now. Oh, he would have fun with this. Sirius, Remus, and Peter collected the rest of the food and the four friends began to make their way toward the Room of Requirement. The room they entered resembled the one that Sirius and Remus had taken Maribel and Anne to.

"So what are we doing?" James asked as he sat down and opened a butterbeer.

"Sirius has something. I think it's stupid and dangerous but he loves it."

"Well?"

"Trapping mistletoe?"

"WHAT?"

"Listen, when you and Evans decorate, hang mistletoe in the door ways. Moony, Wormtail, and I sneak down enchant some of them so that when couples walk under them they will be stuck until they kiss. It's brilliant!"

"I like it. Why do you think it's dangerous Moony?"

"What if Lily gets under one? What if you AND Lily get stuck under one? She'll kill all of us!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of Lily. Just make sure you warn me about which ones are enchanted or not. Okay?"

"Great!"

"I'd better get back to my room. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Night."

After saying goodnight to James, the remaining Marauders hung out snaking on food. Eventually Peter left leaving Remus and Sirius alone in the room.

"Okay Pads listen up. Don't tell James which mistletoe are enchanted. Tell him the wrong ones so that him and Lily really will get trapped."

"I dun git it," Sirius replied, mouth full of food.

"Look, James will be avoiding the mistletoe that have spells on them. If we trick him into walking under one of the cursed ones with Lily they will have to kiss!"
