(A/N): Hey Guys! So, this chapters really stupid, but it's actually pretty long, which surprised me.

I extended my arm, catching hold of one of the drain pipes fastened to the side of the building, my feet hitting the wall, slowing me down enough so that by the time I reached the ground, I was able to jump off safely.

I shoved my hands into the pockets of my jeans, deciding to wander around the grounds.

With the lack of people here for the holidays, and the fact that the sun was beginning to set, I barely had to avoid anyone, other than Minnie looking out her window at one point.

Eventually, I got bored, and I started thinking, 'What would the Marauders do?'

Which, of course, was probably a bad idea, but I ignored my nagging moral compass, pulling out my wand.

"Seclusi Scintillae." I said, and electric blue sparks flew from my wand. Using vampire speed, I moved to the next location. "Seclusi Scintillae." I went from place to place rigging up the prank I had divised, rather quickly, in my head.

I even made my way back through the castle, to just outside the door to the astronomy towers topmost room.

"Seclusi Scintillae." I whispered, before getting out of the area.

In the Room of Requirement, I picked out the first book I saw, and started to read in the plush chair by the fire, bored enough for it not to matter what I was reading.

About half an hour later, the door opened, and a set of sparks, almost like fireworks, burst overhead.

"Did you do that?" Sirius asked, and I grinned not bothering to look up.

"I got bored." Elaine caught one of the little sparks in her hand, staring at it with wide eyes as it danced a little bit, and fizzled out without leaving a mark.

"Did you set these up all over the school?" I shrugged.

"Pretty much, yeah." James frowned, perching himself on the edge of the couch.

"You know we Marauders are going to get blamed for this, right?" I smirked at him from over my book, and nodded slowly.

"Well, you boys were my inspiration. I got bored, and started thinking, 'what would the Marauders do?'" Lily rolled her eyes, sitting down on the chair furthest from James with a huff.

"Of course you did. Nothing good can come of this." She paused for a second, rubbing her chin. "Unless it puts them in detention..." Elaine stared at her for a second before turning her attention back to me.

"Since when do you do pranks?" I shrugged again, closing my book and setting it flat in my lap.

"As long as they have." I gestured to the boys. "Though they haven't really done all that many pranks." Sirius sighed, pretending to look put-out.

"We just haven't found the right time. Pranking is a masterpiece, you know. You can't paint without the right materials." Lily stared at him for a moment before shaking her head.

"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." She muttered, and Sirius turned his head, pouting at her, but she didn't bother to notice.

"No it's not." I reminded her, before glancing around. "Where's Brooke?" Elaine glared at the ground, but Remus answered me.

"She went to go to bed on our way up here." I nodded, and paused for a second, blinking.

A range of junk food, both magical and muggle in invention appeared on a long table, a tall pine tree dominated the corner of the room, draped with tinsel and covered in baubles, and seven stockings now hung from the mantel of the fireplace, each embroidered with one of each of our names.

"Ooh, food!" Sirius exclaimed, moving to get up, but Remus pushed past him, knocking him back down in his chair in his pursuit of chocolate, but Sirius remained undeterred, and made it to the table only just behind James.

"Pretty tree." Lily murmured, instead moving over to the tree, gently skimming her hands across the masses of tinsel.

"She likes shiny things." I whispered to Elaine, and she covered her mouth with her hand to hide her laughter.

"Hey Lilsy-pie, check out these baubles!" James exclaimed, though muffled by a range of sweets as it was, swaying from side to side slowly as he stared into a shiny silver bauble.

"That makes two of them."
