When battle of Hogwarts had finally arrived, a day steeped in preparation and filled with anticipation. They had all suffered losses but were determined to emerge victorious.
The Marauders and their wives, with the exception of Evanie Lupin who was preparing for the birth of their first child, stood together, their resolve hardened by the challenges they had faced.
James glanced at his two best friends, his expression serious but tinged with a hint of irony. "You know," he said, "I always thought if we ever came back to Hogwarts, it would be for a reunion or something, but a battle? I never saw that coming."
Sirius leaned against the stairwell with a nostalgic smile, a laugh escaping his lips as he reminisced, "Ah, the good old days. Coming to school, stirring up mischief, and living life to the fullest. Except, of course, for that one fun night dedicated to our favourite werewolf."
Remus let out a sarcastic huff, feigning indignation. "Yeah, the agonizing fun of those nights," he said wryly.
James leaned forward past Sirius, a smirk playing on his lips as he chimed in, "Back in the day, I would have never guessed that we would be joking about those nights. Look at us now, reminiscing and all."
The jesting continued, each man quick to offer a clever retort.
"It's because his wife would have his head if he did," Sirius teased, earning a narrowing of Remus's eyes in response.
"Right, as if I'm the only one who listens to my wife," Remus retorted. "Last I remembered, you two share the same level of obedience when it comes to your own."
Both James and Sirius responded in unison, their voices melding together in defence.
"I do not / No way!"
A new voice cut through the conversation as Lily entered the scene, her smirk betraying amusement. The guys turned to her, their expressions shifting into a mix of surprise and resignation.
"I have to agree," she said, her arms folded across her chest. "It's not just you, but it goes for Ezekiel, too."
James chuckled, a playful smirk on his face. "Ah, right, Well, you two did just recently get engagd"
Then, shifting his gaze to Remus, he asked a question that caught everyone's attention.
"Wait," James said, his tone filled with curiosity and intrigue. "Does that mean you guys are going to be in-laws?"
Silence hung in the air as everyone waited for an answer. James' question had created a ripple of facepalms.
And on cue, Tabitha's voice cut through the air, her tone tinged with amusement and a hint of resignation, "It's not as complicated as you might think," she said, shaking her head and rolling her eyes.
