Ok I know it's been ages since I last updated...but I was kind of annoyed at the lack of reviews so I decided to wait for a while and then I just lost track of time! Anyway just so you know I'm not updating again until I get AT LEAST 5 reviews! It's not that hard to press the button and say good bad or terrible!!

The month was April, the week, Easter. The time in Hogwarts when bunnies were placed around each corner and baskets were hung at the end of every bed. It was also time where students were offered a week to go home to visit their parents, family and friends outside of Hogwarts. The students that didn't make use of this offer were still allowed to stay in school, however they did not have to go to any classes and as the numbers were small, the students left behind, along with the teachers would play quidditch and other such games to pass the time.
Most years Lily Evans would take the opportunity to go home for a week with no hesitation, this year, however her mother had sent a letter saying that her mother and father were going to America to visit a sick aunt and that unfortunately Lily would have to stay behind for the Easter break.
Most years James Potter along with his fellow marauders, Sirius, Remus and Peter, would all go to James' house for the Easter break as Sirius hated his family and Remus and Peter wanted to stay with their friends, this year, however, James also received a letter concerning his Easter break and America. This year his mother and father had received vouchers from the Minister of Magic himself sending them on a cruise to America for the Easter break. This meant that James and his marauders would also be spending the Easter break in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Have you got everything packed Katie?" Lily shouted across the dorm to her best friend, who was going home for the Easter break, "I still can't believe I have to stay here while you get to go home and spend a week with your family!" Lily said as she got up off her bed, put the book she was reading on her bedside table and walked over to where Katie was packing her bag.
"I know, I wish you could come with me so much, but you know my mother would go crazy if she found out I actually had friends here and didn't spend every extra second I had studying!" Katie said as she pulled the zip together and zipped her backpack together. "Hey at least you're not completely on your own here right?" Pulling her bag off the bed and starting the journey down through the castle and to the train bringing the students leaving Hogwarts too Kings Cross Station in London.
"What do you mean I'm not on my own? I thought it was only myself and three Slytherins, and if you think I'm going to be hanging around with those-" at that Lily was cut off from waging her finger and ranting by Katie saying surprised "You don't know?!"
At that Lily rounded on Katie stopping her in her tracks "Know what?" Worry tingling her quiet voice.
Katie backed up a few steps putting her hands up in sign of surrender. "Ok well ...um don't kill me for not telling you because I thought you already knew...but em...James, Sirius, Remus and Peter are staying over the Easer break as well." At that Katie squinted up her eyes and prepared herself for the wraith of an angry Lily. After a few seconds of nothing happening, Katie opened her eyes and looked at where Lily should have been standing only to see her storming off in the opposite direction, towards the Gryffindor common room and most likely to a certain boy with messy hair and askew glasses.

Behind a portrait of a Fat Lady, through the common room, up the stairs on the left hand side and through the fifth door. That was where you would find four boys laying on their beds doing nothing.
"You do know that we will have to find some way of pulling at least twenty pranks this holiday?" Sirius said bending his head back over the edge of the bed so that his head was upside-down whilst the rest of his body lay on the bed.
"Sorry no can do bud. Lily's staying for the Easter as well and I want to show her that I can be responsible if I really want to be" James answered as he got up off his bed, using bunny ear fingers as he said responsible, earning a rolling of the eyes from Remus and a chuckle from Peter.
"Maybe it would be easier just to BE responsible instead of just acting like you are?" Remus said looking around the room at the blank stares he received until he, again, rolled his eyes and went back to reading his book.
"Yeah....anyway I'm going to go have a shower if anyone needs me." James answered as he walked to the bathroom door pausing to see if anyone had noticed what he said, disappointed as no one had, he went inside undressed and stepped under the steaming water washing his troubles away.

Katie ran after Lily trying to stop her and failing miserably "Lily please I'm sorry I didn't mention it but I really need you to come to the train with me to say goodbye."
As Lily didn't seem to be stopping or even slowing, Katie tried a different tactic.
"LILY EVANS IF YOU DO NOT STOP THIS INSESSANT WALKING AND TALK TO ME THIS INSTANT I AM RINGING YOUR FATHER!" Katie waited a few more seconds before realising that her last option was shear force, with this in her head Katie ran towards Lily as if to tackle her, when she was just an inch away Lily stepped to the side, making Katie topple to the ground beneath her.
"You really should work on the actual tackling part of the tackle." Lily shouted back at her as she climbed in the portrait hole and into the common room.
Lily crossed through the common room in a rage of just three seconds and was up the five staircases in thirty. Lily crashed through the door to the marauders dormitory demanding "Where is he?" to the boys sitting in the room. As they pointed to a door joined to the dorm Lily didn't stop to think what the room could be before tearing open the door to a soaking wet James standing, with just a small towel wrapped around his waist, on the cold tiles staring shocked out the door at an even more shocked Lily.
