As the last week began at Hogwarts an odd feeling made its way to James, he felt like throwing up. The previous months have been spent with a lot of travels around the castle and from time to time to the forest with Hagrid.

For the first time in his life, James was scared as hell, he hasn't felt it while stealing The Diary and not when he has faced many death eaters and not even when he was about to be killed by Voldemort.

He was sitting on the ground alone, away from his friends, who were all playing some game, it was then that Lily came skipping up to him and his mood brightened.

"James! I need your help with Transfiguration," she said standing in front of him. "I have to give Slughorn a gift, I have the idea and the spell but I just wanted to make sure that he doesn't dies." She showed him a goldfish in a water pouch. "Will it die if I transfigure it to a lily petal and then give it to Slughorn and charm it to transfigure back into a fish only when he is seeing?"

"Nope, it'll not if you will place the water bubble charm on its face before," he replied. "Should I also give a gift to Minnie?"

"Of course, you should. I have already given everyone a gift, I just wanted this one to be special," she grinned.

"Will cat food be a good gift for Minnie?" Lily frowned and hit him.

"Don't be stupid. Do something nice, she likes you a lot," said Lily and went away.

He knocked on Minnie's door and felt an odd sensation, this time he has came here without any detention, without making any trouble, and with no complaints or head duties. He was here to give a farewell gift to his favourite teacher, a gift he hoped she would be proud of and not angry about, he has thought a lot about it and has decided on giving her two gifts.

He entered and saw her sitting and looking him suspiciously, Minnie as always.

"Are you alone and free, Minnie?" he asked and cursed at the double meaning as Minnie's eyes narrowed.

"Yes, Mr Potter. What do you want?"

"Well, I thought of giving you a parting gift," he grinned cheekily. "To make sure you don't forget me."

"You thought or Ms Evans thought it?" she was smiling now. Damn Lils.

"Yeah, same," he said sheepishly as Sirius and Peter came in and closed the office door. "Professor, what I am going to give you should not reach anyone else, only Dumbledore knows it. It has to do with Remus."

"If Albus knows, then Potter, you've my words. But why Mr. Lupin is not here?"

"He isn't part of it," grinned Sirius.

James looked at his friends, and they both nodded. "Ready for our gift, Professor?"

Before Minnie could say anything, there were three animals in her office, a stag, a dog and a rat.

They reappeared in normal form as Minnie looked at them with open mouth. "You three are Animagus?"

"Yes, we did it to help Remus. Professor, we aren't registered as it would have taken an extra year and we had to help Remus ASAP," explained James.

"That's amazing!" she exclaimed.

"We were able to do it only because of you, professor, we used your notes and books," James told her.

He was hoping praise but received a mother-like scolding first and then some praise, but he liked it, the motherly love was visible in her scolding too.

The second gift was a big sketch he has made, it was Minnie holding James' ears and scolding the four boys in the portrait, the beautiful part was that within five minutes the sketch transforms and shows the four boys growing up under Minnie's scolding, love and care from first day to present date, with dialogues in written cloud form like a comic.

A tear has formed in Minnie's eyes as she hang the portrait in her office, she has given James a tight embrace and he has returned it. This was the relationship between the strict teacher and the trouble-making, prankster yet head boy,student. She was like a mother to him and he was like as son to her which she never had.

"AH! James and Lily, welcome, welcome to your last lesson," greeted Dumbledore with a warm smile. "Today, I will not teach you anymore duelling skills but instead today I will answer your doubts and will give you important knowledge and information regarding duelling, war and our role in it."

As Dumbledore explained his experience in war and how he was able to build up to the point where he could defeat Grindlewald, questions from history books and Tom Riddle's memory came zooming in in James' mind.

"Sir, in a book where a close friend of yours gave his interview it's said that Grindlewald had the Elder Wand but you still defeated him, is it true? Then how you defeated him?"

"It was Elphias Dodge, my dear friend, gets too protective of me, though. It's true, Grindlewald had the Elder Wand at that time," Dumbledore then put forward his wand on the table. "Here, this is the elder wand."

James and Lily looked at it in awe and took turns picking it up and examining it.

"So, the other Deathly Hallows are true too?" asked Lily, shocked as she gave back back the elder wand.

"My dad said that he hasn't seen any other Deathly Hallows but as the Invisibility Cloak is real, so he believed the other will be real too, and probably hidden, there are talks about the Elder Wand, it has been seen, passed many times in history but there has been no mention of The Resurrection stone," replied James.

Dumbledore had jerked towards them, he was looking at James curiously. "You know about the invisibility cloak?" he asked shocked.

"Sir, not only I know about it but I have it too, I am the descendant of the third brother," James grinned pulling out the cloak. Dumbledore's eyes widened as he took the silvery material in his hands and examined it. "Can you give me a moment please?" He took the cloak and walked into an inside room through a portrait of an old wizard with a crown on his head. Dumbledore returned after twenty minutes with the cloak and a triumphant look on his face, he has just united and held the three deathly hallows for twenty minutes and has realised a very deep thing. He returned the cloak.

"So, you asked me how I defeated Grindlewald. The answer James is very simple, through love," he gave him a small smile.

"But sir you duelled with him,"

"I did, but I was only able to defeat him because I had to stop him, he was on a wrong path and was killing innocents. He killed many of my students whom I loved, and he was going to kill more people, people whom I loved. That gave me the power to defeat him because I had something good to fight for. I knew that if I willn't defeat him then he will kill many more loved ones.

You see James, the Elder Wand is needy too, or should I say greedy. It recognizes the more powerful wizard and will want to go to him. Grindlewald and I matched in power, we've equal strengths and knowledge but he had an edge on me, the Elder Wand and I had an edge on him, my power of love, I wanted to protect everyone. And as I have always said, Love is the strongest and most powerful magic ever and thus I won. My ability to love and my desire to protect everyone resulted in my win."

"That's it?"

"That's it," smiled the old man.

"How did Grindlewald got the elder wand?"

"As far as I know, he must have stolen it from it's last owner Gregorovitch."

They all sat in silent as Dumbledore looked at his wand. "I was in love with Grindlewald," he said abruptly and was quite shocked himself. "Yes, we had same vision as him once, I too wanted to get our world out of hiding and we both came close, very close. I got blinded by power but then Ariana died and I was left alone to think about life and everything. I realised that our ancestors were clever to hide our world. It's more safe and beautiful this way. Look at muggles, just as your speech James, they are extraordinary in themselves and it's better to keep our world hidden or another war will take place and both worlds will be destroyed, and my eyes opened.

The thing I learned and did research on was that initially as humans evolved they began losing power due to their greedy nature, it started defiling the 'Mother Nature', and nature acts on it's own to make it sustainable and balanced environment, so more and more people began losing the power of magic and they instead use their brains and hard work to develop. Soon, they outnumbered the wizards, and the wise and intelligent wizards decided to go into hiding (they used obliviation on a large scale) so as to preserve the magic and maintain a balance in nature. They were smart and sensible but we, today forget it, just like I did.

I was foolish in that war, I trusted a very few people and that too not fully, and it resulted in deaths of many. I felt guilty, I was hesitant to face him and so was he, there were two reasons, Ariana's death and the fact that we both still had feelings for each other. I avoided him and people died. I was selfish," Dumbledore buried his face in his hands and wiped away the tears.

"I loved my family but was selfish and thus destroyed my relationship with Ariana and Aberforth. I wanted to apologise to my mum, dad, and Ariana but it was too late already. Aberforth was there but he never forgave me for Ariana's death and I accepted it, we talk but our bond has broken. I never forgave myself for death of the peoples whom death could have been avoided if I was not selfish.

I forgive people, help them and give them second chance in hope that someone will do it for me. It's like this, I see a cockroach in my bed, I don't kill it but just put it out of the house and let it live freely in hope that if someday I am at a wrong spot someone will do this for me."

They were silent again and Lily had a question but James beat her, "Sir, why did you trusted me, why did you trusted us, us children with this big secret of Voldemort?"

Dumbledore looked up at him and smiled. "To be honest, initially, I didn't but then I began observing you closely, and who said children can't be trusted? And you lot are no longer children. I saw a leader in you James, and when Ben died I began observing you closely and was impressed but not satisfied, I still didn't find you trustworthy and then you helped in stealing the diary and the way you acted, I began trusting you and knew that you'll only trust trustworthy persons. I see you as a better person than me because unlike me you never looked for power or desired for it and that is your power. You though were still not trustworthy enough for me to look you as a leader, you were a leader, but not a leader which I wanted to see and then I realized that I don't need to see that in you because you already had Lily with you, she has the goodness, caring, and boldness that will help you, and then I began trusting you fully because I knew that Lily will never let you get lost. You have your friends, each with their qualities and you as their leader. I know that you'll not rest until Voldermort dies because you can't."

"I can't, he killed my family, Lily's family and so many people. I don't think anyone can rest until he's dead," said James through greeted teeth and Dumbldore's smile widened.

"There's a difference, in fact there's all the difference in being dragged and forced to fight into the war and choosing to fight in the war willingly with your head held high. You all had the options to live a peaceful live and still have but you chose to fight and that makes you a warrior, a true warrior," Dumbledore was looking at James and Lily as though scanning their souls. He stood up and removed a cloth from a corner and a mirror came into a view. "James, will you please come here and look into it."

James did as he was said and was quite shocked at what he was seeing, he rubbed his eyes but the reflection didn't changed.

"What do you see?"

"I see, me standing with Lily, we look quite old, and there's two babies, one in each of our arms, the boy is eight years old and the girl is five. There's Sirius, Remus, Pete, Marls and Mary in background grinning," he told him.

"Lily if you will please."

"I see the same as James but there's Petunia too," said Lily and a smile appear as she saw it hoping it were true.

"What is it, sir? Does it shows future?"

"Nah! It shows our heart's deepest desire," answered Dumbledore.

"What do you see, sir?" Lily asked.

"I? I see myself holding four box of bertie botts every flavor beans with only marmalade flavor, but alas! it's very rare and sometimes I eat boxes of beans but get no marmalade flavor," he sighed.

James and Lily exchanged looks and smirked.

"We've got a gift, a few gifts as we don't know how to thanks you and whether you had these things or not but now at least our one gift will be helpful to you," grinned James as Lily put forward a box with a small opening-closing hole at the bottom.

"You see sir, tell the box which flavor of bertie botts you need and all the beans with that flavors will come out from the hole," explained Lily.

"We knew you liked the beans," James said pointing at boxes of the candies on a shelf. "Lily made the charm to do so."

"A very beautiful and wonderful and not to forget helpful peace of magic. I am so glad to receive it. Thank you," said the headmaster taking the box like a five year.

"And this sir, is Gandalf the Grey along with you. His nature and looks is so much like you that we can't oversee it," said James putting a small miniature of two old wizards.

"I have read the books, and to be honest I think, I am more fun and he's more powerful," remarked Dumbledore looking at the gift.

"And this our final gift is a music player sir, we've put in all the best songs from your time to till date," said Lily giving him a music player.

"Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!" Dumbledore said happily and tears formed in his eyes. "I enjoyed giving you these lessons and I am so so proud to see you both grow into such a wonderful person especially you James. Minerva and I always hoped that you will mature and you did, you matured more than we ever thought. I am so proud to have you two as my students."

"We're proud to have you too, Professor," smiled James and Lily.

"It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be, and you both have proven it," Dumbledore said smiling at them. "And now, I have something for you two, too." He stood and left in the same room and returned after fifteen minutes.

He returned with odd things in his hands, and placed it on the table.

"This, James is my gift to you, I think that you're the most eligible person to have it," he said and moved forward a quaffle. "This was the quaffle with which you made the record of most goals in a match. Here, a tap and it shrinks to carry around," and as he tapped the ball turned to the size of a snitch. "Now, James, it has a very precious thing inside it and only you can open it, but I ask to keep it with yourself and open it when right time comes."

"How will I know when is the right time?" asked James taking the miniature quaffle.

"When the king will walk in the last fight and the fall will be near, when the last comes, you'll know," said Dumbledore. "I hope you use it wisely, I am not eligible to have it, no. But I think you will know." James nodded.

Dumbledore picked up the sword, "This is the sword of 'Godric Gryffindor', not my possession but I think Godric knows where it should or with whom it should be, a true Gryffindor. Lily, you call yourself Athena, Andraste but you usually go by the name 'Valkyrie' and a Valkyrie has a sword. I give you this sword in a hope that you'll use it to kill the darkest but valuable trophies and things."

He said giving her the sword which shrank and was in a locket, "It will return to it's original size when you will take it out." He gave her the locket.

"I will not be alive for long but I will be around you all to help you and remember 'Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.' no matter you're a student or not," he said to both of them. "And finally, I will send invitation from the order as soon as possible to all of the eligible ones."

"Thank you sir," they both said standing up.

"Remember James, a time will come when Fawkes will come to you with most valuable things in the world and you'll have to take up the mantle then. I hope you want it and are ready for it," Dumbledore said lastly and James nodded. "Just remember, love, loyalty and friendship are the greatest and strongest weapons in the world and only lucky ones know how to wield them."

James and Lily decided to give Hagrid a present together and since Hagrid was the oddest but a loyal, friendly, softhearted person. After thinking a lot, they came up with a perfect gift. James knocked at the door while Lily held the gift.

"Comin'," came the gamekeeper's voice and he opened the door. "James and Lily, so great to see you two, I thought you both have forgotten me."

"How can we forget our friendliest friend at Hogwarts?" grinned Lily. "That will happen only if we were presented with a choice between a dragon egg and you."

Hagrid laughed at her comment.

"We've got a gift for you," said James as Lily handed Hagrid a basket with a black dog in it.

"It's a puppy but different than normal ones, it has a long lifespan and is friendly just like you. He comes under a magical creature," explained Lily.

"I loved it. I will name him. . . Fang," said Hagrid happily. "Come in you both."

After spending time talking with him, avoiding his cookies but drinking tea, they left hand in hand.

Then came the night for celebration for seventh year in form of a party in The Great Hall, the sad thing? Lily and James had to spend whole day guiding prefects and Filch to arrange the party.

"Why are we putting these two boxes here in the front?" asked Remus as he helped to put the boxes.

"Can't you read?" frowned Mary. "We'll be voting for a king and a queen, they'll be crowned."

Lily dressed fastest among others, she was the one who goes with natural looks, so all her focus was on her hair and dress, a pretty navy-blue gown.

As she reached downstairs her grin widened at seeing James in dark blue dress robes, he looked at her open-mouthed until she reached and pulled him in a kiss. "Let's go, Head Boy. We have to reach their first and see final arrangements."

"As, you say, m'lady," James bowed offering her a hand which she happily took.

As the hall begin to fill up, and James was done with his work and was now free, he made his way to Lily and hugged her from behind before turning her. "I will not be able to take my eyes off of you." Lily only laughed and pulled him in for another kiss.

"Wish, I could bring Clara in here," muttered Peter as he sat down with James and Lily, both exchanged looks as they saw Peter looking at Sirius who was dancing with Marls initially but now has switched with Mary and was dancing with a red-faced Remus. Lily and James has laughed at it.

"Wormy, who said you couldn't?" asked Lily a smile playing on her lips.

"She doesn't studies here," pointed out Peter.

"And who said, she isn't already here?" said James pointing at the door through which Clara was entering, looking shy, she worn greenery things as jewels and looked amazing.

"How?" Peter gasped.

"Well, you can thank Messrs. Moony, Padfoot and Prongs," grinned James.

"Hey! that's not fair. It was mine and Mary's idea," Lily complained.

"Sorry, yeah they both too. We went to meet her and invite her," James patted Peter. "Now, go and get her. And for Merlin's sake gather courage and ask her out."

"Or go and just snog her senseless," said Sirius coming and pulling Peter in a dance before leaving him near Peter.

"Wanna dance?" James asked stretching out his hands. Lily glanced around nervously. "Evans, you had no problem with shouting and hexing in public."

"But dancing is different," she hissed.

"Remember old times. Just look into my eyes and the rest if the world will dissolve into nothingness, disappear," he spoke softly and Lily smiled and took his hand.

Slow music played and they danced in the middle, holding each other closely, looking into each other's eyes and forgetting about the rest of the world as they slowly danced at the spot. At this moment for James it was Lily and, for Lily it was James in the entire universe. Lily's bracelet glowed.

Snape watched with jealousy as Potter leaned and Lily raised on her toes and they kissed in the middle of The Great Hall, several people clapped and whistled but the pair didn't separate. It was too painful yet he couldn't deny it looked pure and true, yet he denied it, he still thought that she would be better with him.

He stormed off the hall but no one paid care except for her date, in whom he was not interested at all now, not after her words. "OH! They look so cute together. They belong together."

He didn't know where he was going but found himself at the edge of the forest and it was now that he became very quiet as he heard voices in whispers coming, he moved a little closer and listened with all his concentration.

"Are you sure, Dumbledore? The Order still has it is somewhat held, and Thanatos' business has helped greatly," it was the voice of the D.A.D.A professor, White.

"I am very sure. I think it's not long before our grip weakens, I am no more at my prime, I am weakening," said Dumbledore. "And you are a head member of the Order, and that's why I appointed you so that you can watch on the said students closely. What do you think of James Potter?"

"A very talented wizard with heavy hints of arrogance." Snape smiled. "But has proven to be worthy, he's the best, no, second best, I will say Lily Evans is very talented and skilled."

"I think so too, though they both mostly work together. But that's not the point of the talk. I want James Potter to have my elder wand after I die." Snape was very focused now.

"Your Elder wand, the wand of Destiny, the death stick? Why?"

"I think he's the most worthy person to have it after my death, as I still need it."

"You aren't dying anytime soon."

"You and I, both know that I will die soon. I and it'll be good for our side if James has the elder wand."

"Why do you want to give it to him? Am I right in thinking what I am thinking?"

"I don't want the wand to go into the wrong hands and James has a good heart. The last thing we want is Voldemort to know about this wand and my weakness."

"What about the prophecy?"

"I have few names, but sadly I am not the King Of Forest. The seven-person will defeat Voldemort's six main death eaters: Lucius, Bellatrix, Rodulphus, Rabastan, Nott and Mulciber Sr. or Synde Sr., but the latter is already defeated and Thanatos has taken the prophecy upon himself."

"And who are the other six?"

"I am afraid, I have no idea but it's those six death eaters which will lead to Voldemort's fall."

"Are you sure?"

"I am pretty sure."

"What about James Potter then?"

"Nothing, he'll join the order simply and will have my wand after my death and I think we should return now, it's time for me to announce and crown the king and the queen."

Snape has the most important information, information he can't wait to give The Dark Lord personally.

Dumbledore let out a sigh of relief when he was back in the castle. Not much harm was done. It's better some secrets remain with him and he only shows them the path. His heart ached as he realized he will not be there to see with his own eyes that the dark has vanished. But he has at least made sure that the sun comes up and vanishes the dark, he has done his part and now he can only hope that others play their role.

But for now, he looked at all the happy faces, he has seen them being sorted and now they are about to Graduate and leave Hogwarts. We may leave Hogwarts, he thought, but Hogwarts will never leave us. This castle is alive in its own way.

The student body looked at Dumbledore excitedly as he stood behind the two boxes, beaming at the students.

"I have seen you all grow from not so innocent eleven years old student with the sorting hat, and now look at you all, grown up and ready for the next adventure of life," he said loudly. "Here, I have names of the king and the queen from your year which has been chosen by the school via voting. Peeves ofcourse caused a havoc and thus has voted too."

"Just tell us the results, Professor," shouted Sirius.

"Of course, of course," said Dumbledore. "So, let's first see who is the queen."

He tapped his wand at the pink box, there was a fire and then a parchment flew out of it into Dumbledore's hands. He looked at the parchment and smiled.

"Ms Lily Evans has been selected as the Hogwarts' queen," announced Dumbledore, two and a half houses cheered.

"I knew it," James said kissing her.

"And, now the other box," he tapped at the box. "AH! Mr James Potter has been selected as the Hogwarts' king."

James took hold of Lily's arm and they rushed to the front taking the seat meant for them.

"Mr Filch, the crowns, please," said Dumbledore and the caretaker, dressed in proper clothes came forward holding the two crowns.

People cheered while the headmaster crowned the king and the queen.

Snape was torn between triumph and jealousy, his hands were itching to meet The Dark Lord, and if by that time Dumbledore has given the wand to Potter then it'll be two kills with one stone, Potter out of the way and The Dark Lord will praise him.

James took Lily's hands in his and smiled. "I love you."

"I love you, too," she smiled back.

Mary glanced at Remus as she heard the couple talking beside her. She likes her relationship with Remus but she didn't like the way it was now or it has been since they started dating. There was a fire initially, their relationship was driven by excitement but soon it all became dull and they just dragged their relationship. Their talks were more study-together sessions. Mary wanted more, a little more excitement and connection.

"Lily," she hissed pulling the girl with the crown away from Hestia Jones and Emmeline Vance.

"Yes, Mary?" Lily asked grinning.

"Um... how did you decide that it was James that you wanted to spend your life with?"

"I just knew, the way he makes me feel, the way I feel when I see him, it's just we get along together really well. We don't have to pretend, we just are normal, more than normal around each other," Lily replied, looking at James. "You just get along together and understand each other really well. He makes life worth living for. Why?"

"Just you both look so cute and happy together, and the fact that you're engaged so young," said Mary.

"Yeah, we talked about it too but then decided to go for it, we don't know how long we'll live," responded Lily.

"Okay, thanks, I have to go," and with that Mary moved to Remus and pulled him out of the party.

James, Lily, Marlene, Sirius and Peter made their way out of the great hall and towards Remus and Mary who were standing leaning on opposite walls.

"It's our last night here, mates, so live it to the fullest," shouted Sirius hugging Remus.

"Sure, was just waiting for you to get high and then cry the whole day tomorrow," snorted Remus patting his head.

"He'll cry and I think so will you all," said Snape as he reached the corridor.

"Snivellous, how lovely to meet you on the last night. AH! I see your friends are here with you too. Well, the more the merrier," said James moving forward. "So, did you see him yet or not?"

"Saw whom, Potter?" asked Mulciber.

"Thanatos, he is here, and I came across him, heard about you too Snape," replied James and all his friends and all the Slytherins froze.

"You must be hallucinating, Potter. He can't enter at Hogwarts with all this security," sneered Snape but James smirked as Snape paled further.

"I may have hallucinated," sighed James.

And then there was a loud bang and a red light spread all across the castle. Every student and teacher came out to see the source of sound and light.

"Bloody Hell!" gasped Sirius pointing at the top of the Astronomy tower.

There was his sign, the mongoose with the dead snake in his mouth.

"What the fuck? He's there too, how?" Marlene moved forward.

Standing at the top of the astronomy tower, below the mark was Thanatos himself.

"There are words written," gasped Avery.

HOGWARTS IS UNDER MY PROTECTION NOW!
The Fall is nearing.

And then he was gone.

"You should go and say hello, Snape. He knows you don't he?" smirked James as he led his friends past the group of Slytherins.

"How did you do it?" hissed Marlene.

"A little bit of transfiguration. .. ." James began.

"And a little bit of charm. . . ." Lily finished.

"Where's Clara?" asked Remus.

"Went back," shrugged Peter.

The seven of them sat on the school grounds, taking in the beauty of the castle.

"I will miss it here," said Lily through teary eyes as she rested her head against James' shoulder.

"We all will miss Hogwarts, it's our home," sighed James.

"And we, Marauders are. . . ." Sirius began but only to shut by the other three boys.

"It's a surprise, we aren't telling anyone," said James as the girls looked at them.

"Not even me, James," Lilu asked in a seductive voice.

"Nope, not even you," James replied. "We hope that you all like it."

"I have a question," said Mary. "We've known you, Marauders, for seven years, you all became friends the first day practically. So, who is the most important Marauder? James has the vibe of a leader, I know. But who's the most important one?"

The four boys looked at each other and then laughed.

"We're like wheels of a car, Mary. Each wheel is as important as the other three, you take out one wheel, the car will not move, if you damage one wheel, and the car will not move properly. We Marauders are all equal," replied James.

"We're all mischief makers," added Sirius.

"Brothers in arms," added Remus.

"Who solemnly swear," added Peter.

"To be together forever," added James.

"We're invincible," added the four boys together. "And no one can break us apart."

"And we're Valkyries, the sisters that can't be separated. We not only guide souls to the afterworld but we kill too," Marlene said.

"Nice try, Marls, but no one can beat Marauders," said Sirius chuckling. "We four Marauders are just awesome, cool and Legendary."

"Stop boasting, and let me have a last peaceful night here," said Lily shaking her wand in front of her which shot red sparks.

"You're just jealous, Evans," said Sirius moving behind Remus.

"Don't let him get into your mind, he's messing with you, just like the drinks competition," James said holding Lily back.

Lily sighed and rested in James' arms. "I have stolen your best friend, Padfoot, so, suck on it."

They all sat and enjoyed each moment of their last night together at the castle, they were all on the verge of tears, Sirius, Pete and Mary even cried a little. Finally, when it was too late they hugged each other and gave the castle a final look at the night before leaving for bed.

The Marauders however were awake, planning a big prank and havoc for tomorrow before leaving.
