Harry, Orion and Teddy had grown to be the spitting image of their fathers, even had the same personality.
"Im bored," James said while producing red and blue sparks from his wand to entertain the toddlers at his feet.
"Same" Sirius replied flopping onto the couch.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" James asked him smirking gleefully.
"No Prongs we cant you know our wives would go absolutely mental if they caught us and-" Remus began.
"Come on Moony" James said, "One prank can't harm and we haven't pranked in so long"
"Three days Prongs, three days" Remus replied, "But fine i could do with some entertainment as well"
Padfoot and Prongs cheered at this.
The marauders got out their pranking book from Hogwarts.  Going through every prank they had and making sure it was absolutely fool-proof they finally decided on one.
"Right Moonys going home to check on his wolfsbane and will send the letters.  Me and Prongs will then use our amazing acting skills,". Moony snorted at that, "to convince the girls it wasn't us" Padfoot told the others.

Later that day the Potters, Blacks and Lupins where all sitting around the table in Potter Manor when Remus stood up. "Ive got to go and check my wolfsbane, i wont be long don't worry" he said kissing Teddy on the cheek. Teddy giggled.
"Okay but be quick and take care," Tonks said to him. "Love you" she kissed him. Remus opened his eyes to see he was kissing the face of a pig.
"Aaaahrrhghh!" He screeched jumping back. The whole table burst into laughter as Tonks changed her face back.
"Oh my, Nymphandora, remind me why i married you" he chuckled smirking at her.
"Dont. Call. Me. That. Blasted. Name. Or -" Tonks began but he never heard the rest as he had aperated away.

---------------------

Lily looked up from 'Cooking Charms Cookbook' when she heard a tapping on the window.  Seeing an owl she opened the window to let it in.
Upstairs Remus had aperated into Harrys room where Sirius, James and the kids where,
"Phase one of 'the marauders have returned prank' is complete" he said to the group, " Lily got the letters right now"
"Prank, prank, prank" Orion began
"Dont tell Mummy" Sirius said to him, "Dont tell Mummy"
"No tell Mummy" Orion replied.
"JAMES, BLACKS AND LUPINS WE HAVE LETTERS!" Lily shouted up to them.
"Who from?" James asked as him and the rest of the marauders jumping down the stairs with their toddlers.
"No idea ill just check from... HOGWARTS" she screeched handing Marlene and Tonks their letters. Lily practically tore open the letter. It read;

Dear parent or adult guardian of Harry James Potter, we are delighted to inform you that your child has been excepted into Hogwarts school Of Witchcraft And Wizardry early as they show a talent of magic far beyond their age.
She did read the rest but turned to James who looked like he was just as shocked. 
"Oh deer, i did not see that coming" he said
"They must be barking mad to think that right?" Sirius joined in
"I was not a-ware that could happen" Remus said hiding a smirk.  He looked at the girls, they really believed it!
"NO TELL MUMMY" Orion screeched
Marlene turned to Sirius, "NO TELL MUMMY WHAT?" She screamed at him.
"I don't know" Sirius said cringing slightly.
This time she turned to Orion,
"No tell mummy what dear" she asked him nicely
"No tell mummy prank" Orion replied happily clapping his hands.
"SIRIUS ORION BLACK THE THIRD"
"JAMES CHARLEUS POTTER"
"REMUS JOHN-"
"I wasn't part of it!" Remus replied quickly to his wife, " i was checking my wolfsbane you know i was"
"True," Lily said to her, " and i doubt he would do it anyway"
James and Sirius were shocked.
"SUCH BETRAYAL"
"SUCH HURT"
James mock fainted and Sirius caught him pretending to be worried about his friend. They looked up. Lily and Marlene had murderous looks on their faces.
"RUN" Sirius screamed letting go of James and running away from the two woman with James on his heel.
"Your lucky i like your pranks" Tonks said laughing as she cleared up the dishes.
"What?" Remus asked her slightly puzzled.
"You cant lie to save your life," she laughed again.  Soon they where both in fits of laughter, hearing James and Sirius screaming like girls outside.

Later
"James Potter, did you lose Harry again?" Lily Potter shouts to her husband at eleven o'clock at night.
"Er...maybe?" James says, cringing slightly and backing away.
"JAMES HOW COULD YOU? HE BETTER NOT BE WRAPPED IN THAT INVISIBILITY CLOAK Of YOURS AGAIN!"...
"You see, boys? That's the brightest star in the sky," Sirius whispers to the children wrapped in his leather jacket as they sit on the roof of the Potter Manor, oblivious to the argument raging below.
"Thats Sirius, me" he said softly, wrapping the children up tighter before climbing back down into his bedroom.
"Night, night Harry." He cooed to the child who had already fallen asleep in his bed. He had long apperated home with the Orion when James walked into the room.
"Lily! He's in his bed!" He shouted
"Sssh or you'll wake him up" Lily said pretending she had not lost the argument just minutes before.  James laughed, "oh, Lily-Pad, i love you."
