And almost...almost christmas...so close.
Please leave a review!
"Okay...a little more to the left."
The three Marauders shuffled to the left and Remus held up a hand, "Stop. Right there."
Huffing and puffing and red in the face Peter stood back.
"It looks...good." He wheezed out and James squinted at it for a moment before putting on his glasses.
"Yeah, I like it. Lils?"
Lily emerged from the kitchen with Harry on her hip. "Perfect!"
"Alright, lights?"
James was now in full on planning mode, a term the Marauder's used fondly for when they're friend got so wrapped up in the planning of pranks that he forgot to be human. It happened a lot at Hogwarts, they got used to it.
"Lights, got em."
"Ornaments."
"Check."
"Star?"
"Check."
"Okay then. Get a move on, lights first, I want them spaced evenly one half meter up starting at the top. Remus, Sirius." Remus and Sirius took that as they're queue and jumped on it, deftly following James' instructions until he was satisfied.
"Ornaments!"
"On it!" Peter chirped, and he was, almost attacking the tree as he hung the ornaments on it with military like precision.
"Star!" James yelled and together Remus and Sirius boosted Peter up and he placed the star carefully on top of the tree.
"Done! What's the time?" James asked checking his watch and turned to his wife, plucking Harry from her arms.
"5 minutes and 32 seconds." Lily replied, looking quite amazed. "That is the fastest I have ever seen anyone decorate a Christmas tree, and it looks amazing too..."
The Marauder's exchanged glances and smirked, proud of their most recent achievement.
"There is a reason we were worshiped in school you know Lils."
"I mean, we're amazing, do you not remember our prank with the giant squid...?"
"Or the end of term prank third year?"
"Or the one fifth year? That was a good one."
"Just face it, we're awesome. Done."
"Can we have hot chocolate now?" Peter asked. "That's basically the only reason I came."
Review please? Even just for a weird Marauder's tree story...?
