A/N: You'll all be happy to hear this chapter is up earlier then planned because it's my mums' birthday on Saturday so I'm banned from the computer for the day (the horror!).

Chapter 11: Easter

Remus's POV

Too soon the Easter holidays were here. Luckily, I stayed at Hogwarts and didn't have to argue with any teachers to stay since there wasn't a full moon during the break. Even with all the extra homework that had been piled onto everyone because the end of year tests were ten weeks away.

To make things even better, the other Marauders were staying over the break too; Sirius had sent his mum a letter telling her that no matter what he wasn't coming home over the holidays again, Peter's parents were working, and James refused to be the only Marauder going home.

The only problem was that most days were spent in the dorm thinking up new prank ideas. A week before school was due back; we had enough pranks to last us to the end of Second year.

"We need to prank the school at the welcome back feast," James said.

"Which one should we use?" Sirius asked, beginning to look through his trunk.

Finally, Sirius found 'The Book', 'The Book' was a book of all the pranks we could think of; once we'd done them, the ink changed from black to red.

James took the book out of Sirius's hands, closed his eyes, and opened it at a random page and picking at random.

"This one!" He exclaimed.

"We need a potion for that," Peter said, reading over James's shoulder.

"No problem, which one is it?" Sirius grinned.

"It needs to be a something to do with Easter," I said.

"I've got it!" James shouted.

"We'll do this prank, but we'll add extra ingredients to the potion so that it makes everyone grow pink bunny ears for the day!" He continued.

"Brilliant!" I gasped between my laughter, imagining grumpy Slytherins with pink bunny ears, when I saw the original prank I began to laugh harder.

"Let's get to work then," Sirius clapped.

This is how we ended up in the kitchen the night before the day everyone got back.

"If you can put this in all the food and drink, we'll be forever grateful," I said with pleading eyes to one of the House Elves.

"Pinky doesn't know," the Elf wringed it's hands nervously.

"Please," Sirius pleaded.

"Oh, ok, but Masters Marauders have to come back soon," Pinky agreed.

"Deal!" James laughed, handing the Elf the entire potion needed for the prank.

"We're going to be in so much trouble," I said as we walked up to our dorm.

"Probably, but we wouldn't be Marauders if we weren't in trouble," Sirius winked.

"Don't let McGonagall hear you say that, you'll never get out of detention!" Peter chuckled.

"Minnie doesn't scare me! I can't wait to see her tomorrow," Sirius laughed.

I had to admit, I was looking forward to seeing the effect our prank had on people, especially about how ridiculous the teachers would look, Dumbledore included.

The morning of the prank we got up at normal time and began eating our breakfast, we'd decided it would look less suspicious if we were pranked too.

Soon the whole school was in the Great Hall, and it only took a few minuets before the potion began working. Shrieks of horror and laughter filled the Hall as everyone's skin turned into their house colour and then they grew pink bunny ears too.

I looked at James who was sat next to me and choked on my drink; his skin was a bright red and his pink bunny ears were settled on his head, framed by his messy black hair. I knew I mustn't have looked much better, because James looked back at me and we burst out laughing.

"Look at the Slytherins!" Sirius laughed, pointing at their table.

I looked over and the first person I saw was Snape; his skin was green and his ears were sticking out of his greasy hair, the whole school looked hilarious.

I couldn't stop laughing and it only got worse when McGonagall came storming up to us with red skin and her pink bunny ears flying out behind her. Though the worst was Dumbledore with his twinkling eyes; he managed to look like he'd meant to have red skin and pink bunny ears, he made it look almost normal.

In my opinion, the two weeks of detention was worth it.

A/N: Bit shorter than normal I think, but here it is anyway.

By the way i have a poll on my profile about what story i should write next, the choices are:

When Legends Were Born Year 2: This is the second year in the Marauders era at Hogwarts.

The Era of Fred and George: This will be the twins years at Hogwarts and beyond; ending with George naming his son.
