Chapter Fifteen

DC: I don't own Harry Potter

Yet again the Marauders were making baskets of candy. So far two out of their four-day holiday's had candy in it. They didn't want too many candy days, or they'd never hear the end of Madame Pomfrey's lectures, and Lily's hyper-ness. They didn't have that much sleep shampoo left either.

But here they were, while Lily slept, coloring eggs. They secretly boiled them earlier, while Lily took a little nap after lunch, and now had them laid out and halfway colored. They had green eggs, blue eggs, brown eggs, multicolored eggs, and red eggs.

For some reason, unknown to them, McGonagall, Dumbledore, Hagrid, nor Madame Pomfrey wanted any candy this time around. It was either they still had some from the day before, or they were just too old. (Sirius complained that you could never be too old for any kind of candy)

Sirius was having fun writing the little things on the eggs. He had Lily's name on a few, and the others on other eggs. He used a white crayon and wrote, carefully, on the egg before it was dipped in the color. The white crayon made sure the writing stayed on.

"About the only useful things I learned from Muggles." Sirius said, as he wrote something else on the egg before he dipped it.

"Really now?" James asked.

"Are you sure about that?" Remus asked.

"No." Sirius replied, dipping an egg into the red dye. "I really am not."

"Well… Have a fun time, Padfoot, because Easter isn't coming for a long while." Remus said, dipping one of the last few eggs they had left.

"Isn't that sad? I would love to have Christmas come two times a year…" Sirius said with a sigh.

"That reminds me. If I have to buy you a present now, then I will not get you anything when December Twenty-Fifth comes around." Remus said.

"You know that's so not fair." Sirius said. "I mean Lily will probably get more presents when Christmas does come around."

"Yes, but Lily is a different condition." Remus said.

"That is true." James added.

"Yeah…whatever…"

They finished the last of the eggs in silence. Together the three of them filled each other's baskets full of goodies, and, just for Lily, they hid her basket. It was in a place she never really liked, but never had to go to.

"Well…I don't think she'd ever look in the corner." James said, hiding the candy under the some pillows on the window bench. The corner of the window bench was the 'Time-Out' corner that they haven't used yet.

Remus did some quick spells to make sure the candy didn't melt, or the eggs didn't spoil. "Knowing her it'll be the first place she would look." He said.

"Well…" Sirius yawned. "I'm sleepy. Can we go to sleep?"

"I guess…" James said, turning to him. "No one was really holding you back."

The three Marauders got ready for bed. It was a long Valentines Day, especially with all the candy, and it would probably be a long Easter too.

--------

The Marauders woke up to shuffling and wrapper openings. James pulled open his hangings, and grabbed his glasses. He looked over to the window bench, and saw Lily eating a piece of chocolate.

"Lily, hoow mahne hwave you eaten?" James asked, mid yawn.

Lily picked up her six wrappers. "I had…" She counted. "Fifteen."

"Tats nice…" Remus said. He was getting out of bed, and going towards the bathroom.

"You found it?" Sirius asked. He seemed to be the only one amazed at how fast she got it.

Lily nodded. "It was the first place I looked."

"And we thought she'd never find it…" Sirius said.

"Well…" James said, fishing through his trunk for some clothes. "Looks like Lily ruined her breakfast."

"I'm still hungry!" Lily said, changing her mind about the candy, and setting it down. "Can I have breakfast?"

Remus came out of the bathroom dressed, and feeling awake. "Let me guess, Lily's still hungry?"

The other two nodded. Lily smiled, and set her candy on her bed. The three boys finished getting ready, and the four of them headed down towards the Great Hall.

This time the Great Hall was full of little Easter things, and colors. There was a bunny at their table, but luckily it wasn't alive. Lily thought it was at first, but it wasn't. Dumbledore was sitting at the table with a pretty light violet robe on, with a matching hat. Lily giggled though.

"I thought purply was a girl kind of color?" She asked.

"Alas, Lily, this is what I call holiday spirit!" Dumbledore said. "And Happy Easter!"

The four of them sat down, and waited for the food to pop up. It was going to be regular breakfast, nothing special like the day before. Dumbledore explained that dinner was going to be better. He asked the House Elves, nicely, to make a pasta kind of dinner.

"That sounds good." James said.

"Yeah, we'll make sure Lily doesn't destroy her appetite with candy." Remus added.

Sirius just nodded. He was eating his eggs at that moment, and didn't want to be rude. He already taught Lily so many bad things, well not on purpose, and didn't want to do anything else bad.

Lily happily ate some of her eggs, and juice. She was still full on the 'fifteen' pieces of candy she ate just about ten minutes before.

Hagrid, and McGonagall came in a few minutes later and they had a nice breakfast.

--------

But now it was after breakfast, and Lily needed something to do until lunch, and then dinner, came. And that was in a long, long time. Remus had her going on a book for a while, but then they finished the little book and needed something else to do.

"So…" Sirius said.

Remus and James shrugged. Lily was sneaking pieces of her candy, and was watching things happen through the window bench. The three Marauders decided to have a quiet discussion about the next Holidays, and told Lily to stay in the room.

They left through the door, and Lily climbed off the window bench. She sighed. There wasn't much to do, and with her relatives gone, for the moment, she wanted something else to do.

She went over to her bed, and snuck another piece of candy. She was running out, and hoped she'd get a lot more for Halloween. It was then she spotted the eggs. She grabbed her basket, and sat on the floor.

As she ate her candy, she examined the eggs. She had four of them, and they looked so pretty. She picked one up, and looked closer at it. In white letters it said, 'Lily', and, 'Happy Easter'. She thought it so cool how the 'Easter Bunny' wrote on the eggs.

But it was also then when she accidentally dropped the egg. And because of the spells Remus put on them the night before, it cracked easily and the egg crumbled on the floor.

Lily giggled. She loved the fact that they broke so easily. So she picked up another egg, and threw it up to the ceiling. It broke, and fell to the floor. She clapped her hands with delight, and picked up another.

She threw that one at the wall and watched it fall. She smiled, a little evilly, and picked up the last of them. Lily didn't mean to, but she threw it at the door. It made a loud crack, and slowly fell to the floor.

Meanwhile outside, seconds before Lily threw the egg, the Marauders were talking about Halloween.

"More candy." James said.

"And I was thinking—"

But that's when they heard the loud thump and crack. The first thought that came into their head, was that Lily ran into the door and cracked her head open. The second thought was that she was throwing things. But since first comes first, they got scared.

James swung open the door, and there was Lily smiling innocently as she sat on the floor. "Hello…Daddy."

"Lily…" James said.

"What was she doing?" Sirius asked, as he came through the door.

"Looks like she was throwing…the eggs…" Remus said, pointing to the eggshells and the broken eggs on the ground.

"That was a bad thing to do Lily." James scolded. "We were scared you rammed your head into the door."

Lily giggled. "I would never do that!" She said.

Remus pulled out his wand. "Scourgify!"

The eggshells disappeared, along with the eggs, and the room was clean again. Lily felt a little guilty for throwing the eggs, and apologized. She promised never to do it again.

And then lunch came rolling around. They found something do in-between times, and finally dinner came.

It was pasta, meaning: lasagna, garlic bread, and some vegetables, dinner, and Lily loved every bite of it.

"Now don't over stuff yourself, Lily." McGonagall said. Lily knew that, and nodded her head. Luckily she ran out of candy beforehand so she wasn't that full.

For dessert they had a special made ice-cream cake. Lily loved that too. Everyone ate their fill, and for Sirius and James over ate their fill (James over, over eating his fill), and were growing tired.

Hagrid left first, wishing everyone a good night. McGonagall and Dumbledore were next, talking about something of the sort. This left Lily, Remus, Sirius, and a still eating James, alone.

"I'm seepy…" Lily whined. She was yawning now.

"Hey…" Sirius said. "No holiday tomorrow, huh?"

Remus yawned. "Yeah. Meaning I can sleep in."

James finished his cake, and stretched. "I'm sleepy too."

The dishes cleared, and the Marauders headed out. They took Lily to bed, and then went to bed themselves.
