That night after Harry and Ginny dropped the twins off at there parents room, they went off to there quarters to spend some private time together.

When Lily saw her beautiful twins grand children, she went all goggy googoo over them, happy that she was able to come back to watch them grow up. James was just as happy, as well as was Sirius. Now they were talking after spending some time with the twins, playing peek-a-boo and showing them there ani-magus forms, and all. Lily it seems also had a form, and it tickled the twins pink, because it happened to be a big mother bear, that was all friendly and protective of her cubs. They also love playing with Sirius in his Snuffles form. James didn't transform for them at this time, because his was such a big form for there quarters.

"Hey Sirius, I don't think Remus has heard how you got the Ministry to let you off the hook for our murders, and those of the muggles, why don't you tell him, it seems like a great story." Lily asked him sweetly.

"You know I can't refuse that. Well remus old buddy, would you care to know the whole story?"

"Of course padfoot, I was wondering why myself."

"Well moony, it seems that when we first were brought back, there was a small visitor to the proceedings that was caught up in the protection charms that were needed for the ritual. Well you would know that this person was no other than Peter, and he was caught easily. Of course he was pissed, but he couldn't do anything about it, and was easily apprehended. After we interrogated him and took him to the ministry with an auror escort, he was given Veritesarium to find out everything he knew, and he spilled the beans. He told how he was the Potters secret keeper, not me, and how he had betrayed them to the dark lord for his favor and was also there when Voldemort killed them. He then went and told how he killed all those muggles in a duel with me, and cut off his own finger to pretend his death to frame me. Well you know how the new Minister is, Pettigrew was immediately found guilty and sentenced to Azkaban for the rest of his life, and I was found innocent of all charges." Sirius ended this with a grin at his long time friends.

"That is great Sirius, so that means that you're a free man to do what you want. Congratulations to you. Maybe now you can look up that one special person that I know has wanted to see you again since you came back. I know she has waited for you for along time, and has always known you were innocent. I hope that happiness finds you for the rest of your life." There was a tear in his eye, as Moony said this.

"I know with whom you are talking about, and I have already been in contact with her, and yes we are going to get together for lunch sometime in the next week. How about you Moony, how are things going with you and that little Metamorphagus, I think her name was Tonks, or something like that. I new you always had a thing for her since you were both partners in crime with the ministry. Did you ever tell her your true feelings?"

"Oh yes, and we have been seeing each other for the last couple of years. She is good for me, and we think that we have found a solution to my monthly problem. We may have found a cure. We went to the US over the summer, and found a shaman that has been working with potions and cures for the Wearwolves over there. I have to wait til the next full moon to see if it worked, but he thinks he has cured me." Moony was ecstatic when he said this.

The rest of the night went well with the old friends talking over good times and bad, and remembering there old Marauding days. They decided that they would like to play one last prank to remember the days. But who to play it on. They discussed it for quite a while, and were stuck without a clue of whom to prank. When suddenly an idea struck them like a bludger.

"Good old Sevvie Snape is who we should prank one last time." James, Remus, and Sirius said all together.

"I thought you three had gotten over your silly war with Severus. But if you want to make fools of yourself one last time, I suppose I can't stop you, but don't come running to me when you get caught!!" Lily had a little smile on her face when she said this, even tho she did a good job hiding it from her friends and family. Lily was secretly in favor of it, because she was happy to have the Marauders back together again.

So the next few days were spent going over there old schemes and plans that they had done before, trying to figure out one last hum dinger of a prank. About a week later, they came up with the perfect prank, that he couldn't place the blame on them. They all agreed to go get a few supplies for the prank, and to pull it the next Monday, during breakfast. They all went to bed with a happy heart that night, and had dreams of what the look on Snapes face would be.

A/N: Ok all that is the end of this chapter, next one will be on the prank and the consequences of it. Sorry I couldn't do a story which had three of the Marauders in it without them pulling one last massive prank on Snape, could I? Please as always read and review —Donald
