chapter 49

It was the 24th of December, and I felt like a coward as I prepared the presents and cards. I had not mentioned my engagement to Rosy in any of them, but I had decided that I'd send an owl to everyone on the 30th so they'd know one day ahead.

"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOny," I repeated, laughing at Moony's top to distract from the fact that after not seeing him for a week he had become even more handsome.

"I'm never wearing a black and white shirt again," Moony massaged his face with his hand,

"He's got to milk the pun," James added, suddenly I heard the doorbell, it was Peter

"Good thing you're here Wormtail, if you were any later Remus would have had a cow," I high fived James, and moved to pull Wormtail inside. I was so excited Mia had let us invite the boys round, my mother would never have allowed that.

We were all sitting round the fireplace, moony had his arm around me and I could smell his cologne which made me want to bury my face deeper into his chest. I traced my finger along the faint scars on his arm, I was no longer listening to the conversation. I was about to fall asleep when I heard tapping on the window, who was so cold-hearted they'd disturb me during Moony time who, who, unless presents. I opened my eyes immediately, and saw James taking in a large package.

"Presents!" I asked, smiling.

"It's from Iris," James' face suddenly became more serious. Did he have a problem with her?

"Well, is it presents,"

"For all of us I think," Prongs said, checking the label.

"Can I have mine, can I have mine, can I have mine,"

"Oh, what's that dear," Mia's voice asked, I started giggling. Prongs dear, funny.

"Something from Iris," James said as he removed the string and started to distribute the presents, James had an extra one.

"What's that?" I asked, pointing out the present if anything I should get the extra present.

"A present, I thought we established this," Remus said annoyed suddenly.

"Oh, he's right James you have an extra one," Mia said

"I don't think it's a present," Fleamont said, smiling to himself

"What do you mean dad,"
"I can see your tattered sleeve hanging out of it," the man said turning the page of his paper

I opened the package and dad was right, took Iris long enough to return my jumper. But how could I be mad when she returned it and it smelt like her. "Do you want me to wash it dear," mum asked.

"It's all good mum, I'll just stick it upstairs," I said sprinting up the stairs, to put it away.

I don't know why she kept it so long when she could have used one of Rosier's jumpers, stupid bloody twat he was. I'm glad she was happy, really but couldn't she have been happy with anyone else. I moved past it, and went back down, where the conversation had somehow switched to my baby pictures, mum really did like to take them out whenever she could.

Merry fucking Chistmas, a Christmas special with the houses of Rosier and Black. I prepared Rosies present and Regs, I really didn't know what I could get Reg this year so what I bought him was really last minute and basic. A hat, I bought him a hat, it was a nice hat but it was a bloody hat. I had thought of a hundred charms I could add to it each more stupid than the last, a hat that magically tells the time, there's a clock for that. But in the end I just used a charm that whenever anyone else picked up the object, Regulus Black would appear on it, so theft proof, even though accio existed if he ever lost it.
