A/N: Yet another chapter. Peter, the dirty rat, finally shows up in this
chapter, and there are a few (unfortunately) harmless pranks on him. I'm
going to try to make this as much like the Marauders of J.K.R.'s mind as I
can. So, hope you like it, and please review.

"Is everyone ready?" James asked. Everyone was awaiting the arrival of peter, and heavily armed with water balloons.
"I can't wait to see the look on his face!" Emily said.
"This should be fun." Cas stated. James looked around the room at his friends. Sirius, Emily and Raven were behind the Sofa, each with a bucket of balloons next to them, as everyone had. Remus and Cas had taken up a position behind the two armchairs to the left of the sofa, and James and Lily were hiding behind the loveseat on the other side.
Last night, while they were filling up the balloons, Sirius had disappeared, only to join them this morning and hand out his own 'special' balloons. He had taken the jello and pudding he bought yesterday and filled as many balloons as possible. He came to the room they were waiting in, and handed each person five jello and five pudding balloons, keeping five each for himself. 9lets just say he had lots of jello and lots of spare time.)
"Are you alright Moony?" James asked, noticing Remus was looking a little pale and sickly.
"The full moons tomorrow." Of course! How could he forget?
"Don't worry, we're all here to keep you company, even if we can't sneak out with my parents here." He assured Remus.
"Thanks, but you don't have to."
"But we want to, Moony." Sirius told him
"These pudding balloons are brilliant Sirius." Raven said. Everyone went quiet as Peter finally fell out of the fireplace.
"Hello? Is anyone here?"
"Attack!" Sirius shouted. Immediately everyone popped up from behind their various pieces of furniture, and countless balloons were flying his way. Balloon after balloon hit him, and the look on his face was priceless, especially when a chocolate pudding bomb got him in the face. He was too stunned to react at first, and soon the force of several water and pudding balloons hitting him at one time forced him against the wall. Only once one got him between the legs did he finally slide down the wall he had been supporting himself against. Soon the balloons stopped flying, and they all went to stand around a pudding-covered Peter.
"We all missed you, so we decided to put together a lovely welcoming committee for you." Sirius said cheerily.
"Great. I need a shower." Peter mumbled, heading in the direction of the bathroom. House elves appeared to carry his trunk into the other room, and to clean up the mess just as everyone began leaving the room.
" Is there anything young master Potter or his friends require?" one squeaked.
" Not right now, thanks." James answered. He always treated his house elves kindly, unlike some other wizarding families.
When Peter returned, clean, everyone was lying around on various beds and on the floor in the dorm room (as it shall now be called, unless anyone gives me a better name). Sirius was bored and was asking nonstop 'which is worse' questions to everyone and no one.
"James, which is worse, sports and no girls, or girls and no sports?"
"Yes James, which is worse?" Lily asked menacingly.
"Umm..." he started, not wanting to anger Lily.
"Which is worse, being lost in the woods and wiping with Poison Ivy, or being at a nude beach and sun burning you butt?" he continued, ignoring everyone.
"Eww Sirius."
" Finding out your girlfriend is your cousin or finding out your parents are cousins?"
"That's kinda wrong." James said.
"Being allergic to junk food or being allergic to the opposite sex?"
"Enough already!" Remus, who was getting a headache, said.
"Your dad being a cult leader or your mom being a prostitute?"
"Sirius, you are making Remus mad. I do not like Remus mad, especially the day before the full moon. Please do us all a favor and shut up!"
"Life in azkaban without parole, or the kiss?"
"Enough already!" Raven said, jumping on to Sirius who was sprawled across his bed with his head hanging off the end, and pinning him down. "Just stop already!"
"Okay! Uh...air please?" he said. Raven quickly got off him. A few moments passed in silence, then...
"Walking into a spider web or walking into a pole?" Immediately everyone threw their pillows at him, sparking an all out pillow war that ended with everyone sprawled on the floor covered in feathers.
Soon Sirius was bored again, and instead of annoying everyone again and sparking another fight, he transformed into Padfoot and began to chase his tail. Everyone laughed, until he finally caught it in his teeth, and gave a yelp of pain. They just laughed even harder at this. He Growled at Emily, who happened to be in front of him. She turned into a grim also and they began a mock-fight, Racing all around the room, leaping over furniture and people. Finally they tired, and changed back to humans, bowed, and promptly collapsed onto the floor.
"Have someone else entertain you." Sirius said. Raven and Lily rose to the challenge, changing into a black panther and a tiger, respectively. They also began a fight, though with much more style and grace then the two grims before them, both being of the feline family. They also raced around the room, sizing each other up. Lily took a swipe at Raven, who avoided it by leaping over both Remus and Cas. Soon Lily tired also, and transformed back. Raven, however, stalked toward Peter, who transformed, hoping to escape as a rat. Instead, her Feline instincts took over, and she pounced on the rat. She toyed around with him for a moment, before letting him go, and they both changed back with a pop. Peter glared at her, but she just laughed.
"How did you expect to escape as a rat, Peter? I'm a cat, Duh! Natural instinct." She said to his continued glares.
"Break it up you two, we should probably get ready for dinner. Don't worry, my parents haven't invited anyone over, and they won't until after the full moon." He added at the look he got from everyone, and Remus especially.
The Potters, like all pureblood families, always had formal family suppers, often with guests-other purebloods. The children were expected to wear dress robes and be on their best behavior, which Sirius and Emily had been working very hard at, wanting to make a good impression.

A/N: not much happened, but I was bored and decided to write. The whole part with the 'which is worse' questions is actually an almost exact copy of a conversation me and a few friends had a few days ago. I would love if someone could help me with nicknames for the girls. I repeat: PLEASE HELP ME THINK OF NICKNAMES FOR THE GIRLS! Otherwise they'll end up with really stupid nicknames. Just to refresh your memory Lily's animagus form is a tiger, Raven's a black panther, Emily is a grim and Cas is a wolf. Please, if you have any suggestions, even for only one of them, leave it in a review please. And as always, ideas for pranks are greatly appreciated, and if I use your idea, I will dedicate a chapter to you. Also, whoever gives me good names for the girls will get a chapter dedicated to them, cuz it's the best thing I can think of that I can give you. So please, REVIEW and tell me all your lovely ideas! Thank you!
