The rush to get up early and out in time for the train is massive. As they are not yet officially allowed to do magic outside of school, so unlike Hogwarts where they just whip out their wand mutter a spell and everything folds itself up nicely into the trunk ready to go. They cannot and the Marauders seemed to have forgot this little detail.
So they find themselves running around the house looking for all of their belongings before they leave the Potter house to go to school. That's how at 7:45 in the morning and they are supposed to leave at 8:00 to make the train which leaves at 8:15 the Marauders find themselves very, very not ready. Until Edith came up with an Idea.
"Miss Potter!" Edith shouts looking around the house for James's mum.
"Yes Honey?" She replies sticking her head out a room Edith didn't even know existed.
"Me, Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail and Prongs-" Edith starts.
"I am sorry who?" Miss Potter asks politely.
"Umm me and the boys" Edith starts again she is to used to the nicknames so she just uses them without though not remembering that other might not know what it means "Were wondring since we forgot we couldn't use magic to pack if you could use your magic to help us get ready?" Edith ask crossing her fingers hoping.
"Why of course dear!" Miss Potter says smiling kindly at the girl she has come to think of as a daughter like she thinks Sirius as a son.

So that is how at 8:00 actually on time they found themselves walking through the wall for the last time at Hogwarts.
The five of them easily make there way onto the platform and starts walking towards the train.
"Edith!" She hears someone shot and turn around to be greeted by her fellow red head.
"Lily!" She says smiling accepting the hug.
"My Lily Flower!" James shouts dropping his baggage and running over. Lily is quick to let go of Edith and run to James embracing him in a hug as he spins her around.
"Young love" Edith mutters shaking her head.
"Like me and you." Sirius says putting the arm that is not dragging his trunk around her shoulder. "Maybe" Edith replies.
"Excuse me?" Sirius says sassily.
The marauders plus Lily find themselves in their favorite compartment the one Edith had carved their initials into because they like it so much. They sit down on one side Sirius snuggled close to Edith arm around her waist. Next to them their is James who has his arm around Lily Evans. Across from them there is Peter eating sweets and Remus munching on chocolate.
"How does it feel, this is our last year?" Lily asks looking sadly at the group she has come to adore, the marauders. Who might have to go there separate ways after Hogwarts.
"But not our last year together." James assures.
"Because this, this is forever." Edith says.
"No matter how far apart" Remus says smiling at his friends.
"Yeah" Peter mutters uneasy but no one seems to notice it.
"Guess what?" Remus asks.
"What?" The group asks him excitedly.
He pulls out a badge from his pocket to show his head boy badge.
"Yes! We get to break so many rules." James cellebrates. Only he would think that.
"Well done Rem!" Edith says happily.
"Good job Moony!" Sirius says.
"I am Head Girl!" Lily announces causing James to wolf whistle and cheer louder "I am never going to detention!" He shouts. Maybe Dumbledore planned this to let them have as much fun in their last year at Hogwarts but Edith didn't think that until much later.

The Five Marauders enter the great hall in such authority and confidence that the whole four tables at Hogwarts cannot help but turn to look at them. Remus John Lupin with the Head Boy badge pinned into his cloak. James Potter with an arrogant smile on his face and an arm around Lily Potter. Sirius Black taller than ever a smirk on his face which he pulls off perfectly and his hand intertwined with Edith Wheelers. Who has grown up to say the least matures since first year when she entered the hall. Her ginger hair cascades down her back and her blue eyes glitter mischievously, no one can doubt that she is a marauder. Peter Pettigrew at the back his hands in his pocket trailing behind his friends.
As they sit down to watch the last sorting they will see at Hogwarts. No one can help but Envy them 'The Marauders' the five perfect Gryffindors, the most influential at the school, not only that they aced their classes, even though sometimes they didn't even turn up for them. They enjoyed their life and had a new prank set up every week. How they got sleep at night? No one knew.
"It good to be back!" Sirius says pilling food onto his plate.
"That is my line from last year!" James huffs also filling up his plate.
"At least one of us says it every year, I don't see how it is 'your line'." Remus says.
