Harry Potter One Shots and Two Shots [finished]

Birthday Headcannons

The Marauders liked to wake up the birthday kid with a good aguamenti.

This means any of their friends

Even the girls, much to Lily's dismay

It actually started in their second year

James decided to surprise Sirius on his birthday

November 3rd for those who don't know

The, now, 13 year old woke up pretty pissed, and honestly slightly angry

James was easily forgiven once Sirius saw the new present though

Seeing as he hadn't received a present the previous year since he didn't let anybody know beforehand, and his parents surely weren't sending him any presents, James convinced his parents to get Sirius a better gift than they originally planned.

The newest broom release seemed to do

The tradition continued four months later when James and Sirius woke Remus up with another splash of aguamenti.

Remus wasn't too happy to find that the book that he fell asleep reading the previous night was now ruined

That day in class they learned an easy repair spell, and the two troublemakers knew they got off easy due to luck

They gifted him some other books, hoping that he hadn't read them

Unfortunately he had, but he didn't have his own copies

Soon all was forgiven about the ruined (but now fixed) book, and they celebrated the birth of the wonderful young lad

Seventeen days later, James was woken up with water to the face from Remus before Sirius could wake up and do it

James knew it was all in good fun, and he hadn't damaged anything, so there was no problem that day

He got some awesome presents from his family, and friends, including a bottle of newly designed Sleekeazy hair potion from his dad, that didn't get any use for years to come

We never really knew when Peter's birthday was, but whenever it happened, you can guarantee that he woke up to three streams of water coming from the three different wands of his best friends

This tradition continued for years, and by the time their fourth year came, they were close enough with other Gryffindors to do it on them too

It started out with other guys

Frank Longbottom woke up on his 15th birthday to James soaking him with water, as he was the closest to Frank

Lily had finally opened up to the idea of being friends with the Marauders in their 5th year, after the whole M-word incident with Snape

James was still infatuated with Lily, but he knew that if he kept treating her different than any other person that he would never get her

Instead the two friend groups merged

Of course, Marlene had been friends with the Marauders since third year, and knew about the birthday surprises

The boys never could get her, but their sixth year, she helped them get the rest of the girls

Of course, Lily's birthday was first of the group, so Marlene woke up earlier than she ever had in her life to smuggle the boys upstairs using a trick she learned from watching a 7th year do it the previous year.

Lily woke up on January 30th with soaked hair and boys in her dorm.

Of course the prefect was furious

Especially when she found out, not only was the other prefect in on it, so was her best friend

What the hell

Of course she expected it from Sirius, as they had been getting closer, and even James wasn't completely prank-free yet

Screaming at them to leave the room, she realized that her preferred pajamas were not pajamas at all

It was a long white t-shirt that was now soaked, revealing her bra beneath it

She was lucky she even wore a bra to sleep that night

At breakfast, the boys apologized, and revealed her presents

Remus got her a new book that they were talking about

Peter got her some chocolate, which seems like he gave up on finding a present, but that girl loved chocolate almost as much as Remus does

Almost

Let's just say Sirius got her something for an inside joke.

James, of course attempted to woo her, but being the (stalker) observant person he is, he knew she wouldn't like jewelery

Instead he gave her another book (with the help of Remus of course)

Of course, this was the start of Lily liking James back

Two or so months later, Remus was woken up to water

Much to his surprise, he saw Lily, Dorcas, and Marlene

His other three friends still soundly asleep, the four decided to wake them up with water too

That's how the birthday water fights begun

But that's a story for another time

So I decided to write some tumblr style headcannons to celebrate me turning 15. I have currently been obsessed with tumblr, and if you want to follow my mostly Harry Potter blog, you can find it at therunningravenclaw.tumblr.com 

I hope you enjoyed, and have a great day.

Much Love

Katelyn
