It had been a week since school had started and we had all fallen back into our school routines pretty quickly. I had most of my classes with the boys and Lily, so I wasn't too bored, I had made a promise with Lily that at least once a month, we'd get together and hang out, 'twin time' we called it, which would probably consist mostly of studying and gossiping.

For the first week of school the boys and I had laid pretty low, having not pulled any sort of pranks or caused any trouble as of yet. We were 'Leading teachers into a false sense of security' Sirius had called it, leaving Minnie and the other professors in anticipation for our inevitable and much anticipated return to our old selves.

Remus was enjoying the quiet, he had returned to school the day after everyone else and was in a bad way, so we figured he could use a little time to recover, that and we hadn't come up with the perfect prank to announce our return.

Well, that was until now.

"Moons, Red, it's time." James announced as Pete and Sirius entered the common room after classes had finished.

"Time for what?" Remus asked as he looked up from his spot beside me on the sofa.

"Just come on." Sirius ordered quickly as he pulled the book out of Remus's hand, while James just bent down and lifted my whole body off of the seat, making me laugh, as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders.

"What are you doing?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Hush love, we have a plan." he told me as he began to walk upstairs, the boys following behind us.

Once in the boys dorm room James threw me on his bed and threw himself on as well, resting his head in my lap.

"So, why have you dragged us up here boys?" I asked, my hand subconsciously finding James's hair and running my fingers through it.

"I call to order the 1st official Marauders meeting of the year." James declared proudly holding one hand in the air.

"Oh, no." Remus groaned, already knowing what was coming.

"Awesome!" Pete called out excitedly.

"About damn time!" I cheered, high fiving James.

"We're about to get in some trouble huh?" Remus frowned sitting on his own bed.

"Hopefully." James and I nodded.

"If we do it right, yes." Sirius grinned mischievously.

"So, what did you boys come up with?" I asked, looking between Sirius and James.

"Oh, Sweetheart, you are gonna love it." James beamed proudly, looking up at me with his goofy grin, making my stomach flip.

"Ok, so here's the plan." Sirius announced.

For 3 whole days the boys and I had been spending every spare moment we could planning our big prank, going over logistics assigning 'mission' and preparing our fun.
