So...here's another one! I want to thank jaydenquire for leaving a review! And Izzy for leaving not one, but three wonderful review!

To Izzy: Please don't stop reviewing! It makes my day and I love hearing what you think! I'm glad to brighten up your day down in the southern hemisphere! And your reviews brighten mine!


"I'm not so sure this is a good idea..." Peter panted, sweat dripping down his crinkled forehead.

"It's a bloody brilliant idea!" James laughed, panting as well as the two of them dragged the large pine tree along the side of the Quidditch pitch.

"But we might get in trouble!"

"We always get in trouble. We're Marauders! We live and breathe trouble! Trouble is our middle name!"

"No it's not...my middle name is John."

James stopped suddenly and let out a long sigh. "You know what I mean. And this is a good idea because it'll cheer Remus up."

"Well, yes I know that...but maybe we shouldn't have stolen the tree from Hagrid..."

"How else would we have gotten a tree as nice as this?" James scowled, though he too felt a slight twinge of guilt in his stomach at what they had done.

"I don't know! I'm sure Sirius could have figured something out..."

"Well Sirius is down for the count, so we have to make do."

"Yeah...it's just so bloody heavy!" Peter laughed, and paused for a second. "Can you get the door Prongs?"

"Yeah...just let me..." Struggling for a second to dig his wand out of his pocket without dropping the giant tree, he pulled it out and magicked the door open.

"Come on, the spell is only going to last a few more minutes. Do you have the map?"

"Yeah," Peter panted as they picket up the pace. "We're clear right now. Not for long though...Flich is moving our way."

"Alright. Let's go."


They made it to the Hospital Wing without incident, just barely missing Flich and Professor McGonagall who made a surprise appearance. The tree now stood proudly in the middle of the hospital wing, standing up with the use of magic and some guy wires.

Sirius and Remus were still knocked out under the influence of a dreamless sleep potion and therefore didn't notice the ruckus that Peter and James were making as they decorated the tree.

"Wha...? Prongs...?" Sirius muttered as he began to stir and James froze in the middle of putting the star onto of the tree.

"Yeah mate?"

"Did you put a bloody Christmas tree up?"

"I..."

"James...is that you...?" Remus asked, sitting up gingerly rubbing his bloodshot eyes.

"Morning mates!"

"Good morning..." Remus said dryly still blinking trying to get used to the bright light of the midday hospital wing.

"Merry Christmas!" Peter and James said brightly.

Sirius cocked an eyebrow and scowled looking rather unimpressed and rolled over to face the window.

"It's beautiful!" Remus gasped as he finally saw what James and Peter had done.

"See Padfoot? At least some one appreciates all out hard work." James snickered as Sirius made a rude hand gesture in their direction.


So...review please...?
