Remus POV

"Merry Christmas!" I said to my friends as they woke up, "and don't go back to sleep."

"Why would we go back to sleep?" Sirius asked innocently

"Yea…look, Presents!" Peter said

We all ran over to the Christmas tree to find a pile of gifts for each of us. My parents sent me a series of books I wanted. James got me a bunch of licorice wands, Sirius gave me Bertie Botts every flavor beans, and Peter got me a bunch of Chocolate frogs. "Thanks for the sweets guys!" I said opening a chocolate frog.

"Who got me this book? 'Quidditch through the ages'?" James asked

"Oh, that's from me…" I said feeling a little embarrassed because according to James look, I'm guessing he didn't like it. "Sorry, I didn't know what else to get you."

"Are you kidding! I love it! This is probably the only book that's not boring, or worthless!"

"Wait, you really like it?" I said lightening up.

"Yea!"

We were happily joking, and opening gifts until Sirius got a picture, and letter from someone. He read the letter, looked down, and silently continued to open his presents. "Who was that from?" Peter asked.

"My parents." Muttered Sirius Bitterly.

"What does it say?" I asked.

"Nothing, you know the usual. How my brother Regulus is the perfect son, blah blah blah."

I looked down at the picture, and saw a family of 3 with a cold looking mother, and father hugging their younger son.

Luckily, when James opened a gift from his dad, both his and Sirius face lit up.

"Oh my gosh, is that-?" Sirius said looking at whatever James was holding in awe.

"It is!" James said.

I got a better look, and I couldn't belive my eyes either. James was holding up a cloak, but not just any cloak. I had read about these but never seen one. The only one who didn't know what it was right away was Peter, who looked very confused.

James held up his cloak, and put it on. He disappeared. Literally.

"Woah!" Said Peter looking flabbergasted. "An invisibility cloak! Awesome!"

"Yea!", said James revealing his body again. "Think about all the night time detours we can take without anyone knowing."

I sighed and put my hand to my face. "Of course, that's the first thing you think of. As much as I would like to continue that topic, I'm hungry, breakfast?

We went down to the great hall, which was emptier then usual since many people went home. We piled our plates with breakfast foods from milk to gingerbread cookies.

As we were eating, I heard a few girls walk by and heard them say, "wow look at these decorations…it's so pretty!"

"Not for long" James said so only the four of could hear him. "Can we go over the prank one more time?" Asked Peter.

I grinned, and leaned in so no one else could hear us. "For this prank we're going to marauder-ify everything. Which isn't a word so let me elaborate. Before dinner today we're going to sneak into the great hall and "redecorate everything". Since James has an invisibility cloak it'll be easier to sneak in. Using the spell, I gave you, just point your wand to whatever you want to redecorate, and it will, as I said marauder-ify it. As soon as you preform the spell a big M will come somewhere on the object, and you'll witness the rest." I said grinning.

"Awesome!" Said Sirius grinning back

It was almost time for dinner so we all went under James's cloak and snuck into the Great Hall. Luckily there was no one there so we all took of the cloak and started redecorating. I heard 3 voices whispering the spell. When we were done, the Great Hall looked like it never looked before. On every ornament the letter M was sprouting in Bright Gold letters. Every Banner had the letter M, or the word Marauder on it.

"Hey guys I hear people coming! Hide under the cloak!" I said quickly. We all went under the cloak, and saw students, and teachers come into the Great Hall with a mix of angry, confused and surprised expressions. We dispersed in the crowd to look like we were just coming in even though we knew we would get caught.

We went to the Gryffindor table, and started eating. Acting like nothing happened.

After dinner, no teachers came scolding us or giving us detention. Instead, Professor Sprout, and Professor Flitwick gave us 10 points for excellent decoration.

We were about to give the fat lady the password, when professor McGonagall came to us. "Hello boys, interesting choice of decorations today."

"er yea…thanks" Peter said quietly.

"Since it is the holidays Professor Dumbledore, and have decided not to give you any punishments. Then she smiled, and said, "good night, and Merry Christmas."

"Wow I guess Christmas does make miracles happen." James said laughing.

We joined in the laughter, and went inside. This was the best Christmas ever.

Its not my best chapter but I hope you like it, Happy Holidays! :)
