It was morning on the 27th of March. It was very quiet, apart from the odd bang and crack from the marauders' dorm in Gryffindor Tower.

You see, James Potter was a very deep sleeper. One of the reasons why they were often late for class.

"Wake up prongs! PRONGS!" Sirius screamed into the snoring teen's ear. He still didn't wake.

"Look Padfoot, you know as well as I that he us not going to wake up if you scream at him, or make any sort of noise to try. However-"

"Then what do we do? Its his birthday for Merlin's sake!"

"Well if you hadn't interrupted  me you would know. Now as I was saying- you know what, follow me."

~~~~~

Sirius and Remus ran down the sets of moving staircases, tickled the pear and ran into the kitchens.

"Why hello Master Lupin sir and Master Black sir! How may I help you?"

"Hi Tipsy, I need a plate of bacon. Its James's birthday and we are trying to wake him up."

"Ah I see, I'll be back in a second."

"Thanks Tipsy," They said, running back up the many moving stairs, earning several strange looks as to why the marauders where carrying a plate of bacon up stairs. But- what could you expect from the marauders? No one apart from then know what really happens in their heavily guarded dorm.

~~~~~

"Marzipan flavored chocolate!" Yelled Remus at the portrait.

"What is it with people running through here today? Its Saturday." She grumbled, grudgingly letting them in.

Sirius grabbed the plate and waved it in front of James's nose.

"Wha- do I small Bacon?" James sat up straight, gulping down the food.

"Do you realise that took about 20 minutes to wake you up? Anyways its your Birthday you idiot! Come on! Open your presents!"

Remus rolled his eyes, smiling.

"Here, open this first," Sirius gave him a badly wrapped present which was suspiciously shaped as a broomstick.

James opened it quickly, and what he saw inside shocked him.
"Padfoot, this is why you are my best mate."

"I know James, I know. NOW GO AND SHOW ME HOW FAST IT FLIES!"

Remus opened the window, and James jumped out with his broom in hand, falling through the sky, until jumping on to it.

"THIS IS AMAAAAAAAZINGGGGG!"
