The lift descended down through the previously made hole in the roof. It went back on the track and twisted left, right, up, down, forward and backwards, before coming to a stop. The doors opened and everyone stepped out into the familiar sugary wonderland that was the Chocolate Room.

'I still can't believe this is our home, now,' Lily smiled.

'I know,' James agreed. 'It feels like a dream.'

'Too bad the rest of the day was a nightmare,' Remus sighed.

'Well, now we're back, I can finally do this,' Wonka smiled as he left the lift. He lifted his cane and started unscrewing the gold topper. After, he reached inside it and pulled out...

'A wand?!' Sirius gasped.

'You're a wizard?!' Peter asked.

'Of course! You don't think anything you saw today would be possible without magic, do you?'

'It also explains how we got all the tickets!' Remus said. 'He would have made sure they all went on a shipment to Hogwarts so his heir would definitely be a wizard!'

'Exactly,' Wonka said. 'Now, I'd better remove the glamour charm.'

'Glamour charm? For what?' James asked.

Wonka whistled and an Oompa Loompa ran over to him. Wonka waved his wand and suddenly, it wasn't an Oompa Loompa, but a house elf.

'Of course! I didn't think Oompa Loompas were a thing!' Lily said.

'Now, Sirius, hold still for a second,' Wonka pointed his wand at the boy.

'What are you- '

Sirius was interrupted when Wonka waved his wand and a loud crack came from Sirius arm.

'ARRGGH, FFFFFFFFFFFFFF- '

The cast suddenly fell of his arm, revealing his now fixed arm. Wonka waved his wand again, this time at Sirius' leg, and the bandage fell off, revealing his healed leg.

'Oh...thanks.'

'Wait,' Remus stepped forward, 'does this mean you know a spell that can turn my skin back to normal?'

'I'm sorry but...there's no way to turn your skin back without there being nasty repercussions,' Wonka replied.

'What sort of repercussions? I mean, I might be able to handle them. Please?' Remus attempted to bargain with the chocolatier.

'Would you be able to handle death?'

'...Ah...never mind.'

Suddenly, a loud squawk echoed through the room. A parrot flew down and landed on Wonka's arm.

'Squawk, here's your letter, squawk,' it said, raising its leg, which had a letter attached to it.

'Thank you,' Wonka replied, untying the letter. As the parrot flew off, Wonka noticed the five kids giving him weird looks. 'What?'

'A parrot?' James asked.

'They're a lot more talkative than owls,' Wonka replied, opening the letter. 'Oh, good! The Ministry agreed!'

'Agreed to what?' Peter asked.

'Well, if I'm going to teach you how to make the kinds of sweets and chocolates I do, then you're going to have to be able to use magic. So, I wrote to the Ministry, and they have replied! Now, whilst you are within the walls of this factory, you are legally obligated to use magic!'

'Awesome!' Sirius punched the air.

'Now, if you go back into the lift you should be able to see rooms for each of you. There's also a room labelled "Furniture Storage". There is a variety of furniture for you to choose to put in your rooms,' Wonka explained.

'Cool. Let's go!' James said as him and the other children ran to the lift.

'Hope, Lyall, could I speak to you in private for a moment?' Wonka asked. The three of them wandered away from the other parents. 'Now, we need to discuss your son's condition.'

'How did you- ?'

'I knew the moment I saw the scars,' Wonka replied. 'But don't worry. It's no problem. We do, however, need to decide where he will go at full moons. Now, I think it will be most suitable if he uses one of the rooms on the very bottom floor of the factory, because the bedrooms are on the top floor and it will best if he's far away, in case of the unlikely event he gets out. But the question is, which one?'

He stood there, thinking it over, before his eyebrows raised, showing he'd come up with an idea.

'That's it, he can use Storeroom No. 666! That's where we keep all the sweets that are too dangerous for human consumption. We rarely need to go in there and the doors and walls are made of extremely strong metal that should keep him in. What do you think?'

'I think it sounds perfect,' Lyall agreed.

'And thank you, Mr Wonka, for not discriminating,' Hope added. 'It means a lot to us, and I'm sure it will mean even more to Remus.'

'It's no problem. Now, you had probably go with the others to the bedrooms. I have to go to my office. I have a lot of paperwork to do . If you need me, my door is always open.'

Meanwhile, the Marauders and Lily were all choosing their furniture.

'This place is like a mini Ikea, only everything's already put together,' Lily remarked as she levitated her chosen bed into the lift.

'What's Ikea?' Peter asked.

'It's a muggle furniture shop, only you have to buy everything in separate pieces and put it together at home,' Remus explained.

'Isn't that kinda stupid?' James commented.

'A bit,' Lily replied.

They continued wandering around, choosing more furniture. Remus began noticing a pattern with what he was choosing.

'It's weird,' he said, 'even after what happened today, blue is still my favourite colour.'

'It's not too weird,' Sirius replied. 'I mean, after today, I probably shouldn't like red and yellow because they're the colour of the flames that almost burned me alive. However, I still do because GRYFFINDOR PRIDE!'

Remus just laughed in response. About half an hour later, they had chosen everything they wanted and headed to their currently blank room. They then proceeded to spend the next hour decorating. After, they all gathered in James' room.

'Well, I guess the story of the Marauders and the Chocolate Factory is over,' James sighed.

'No, it's not. It's far from over,' Remus replied.

'What do you mean?' Peter asked.

'Well, we literally own the factory. That's gonna be awesome. And then there's going back to Hogwarts, which will be...interesting, to say the least.'

'Guess, you're right, Blueberry Boy,' Lily said.

'...Don't call me that.'

'What's the matter, Blueberry Boy?' Sirius smirked. 'Don't you like it?'

'I will not take this abuse! Fuck you both!' Remus replied. James and Sirius burst out laughing.

'What you laughing about, Stretch, Acorn?' Lily said.

'...That's it. Everyone out my room.'

The others just laughed again.

Despite the events of the day, it seemed things were getting better. Hopefully the memories of the incidents could be forgotten and they could move, living their lives of pure imagination with no further troubles.

AH HA HA HA! Do you really think that could happen? Oh no! I think you're forgetting that these are the Marauders we're talking about. Nothing's that simple for them. In fact, when they went back to Hogwarts, a whole lot of shit went down. There was a yandere with an inflation fetish, a very unlikely friendship, repeated head slamming on lintels and the coolest Halloween costumes ever.

But, those are stories for another time. For now, it's time to bring things to a close.

And so, we have reached the end...

Of the first story!

I am pleased to announce that there will be a sequel! It shall be called 'The Marauders After the Chocolate Factory" (Very inventive title, I know). I don't know exactly when I shall start publishing it, but I can promise that the first chapter will be uploaded by the end of this month. Or maybe two or three chapters, if I'm feeling productive.

Thank you so much for the support you've given in reviews, it means a lot to me. This being my first story, I was very nervous about how it would be received. However, since I started publishing on here, my confidence has grown a lot. So, thank you!

See ya in the next story!

Edit: The sequel is up!
