December 25, 1976

Regulus walked down the stairs in James clothes.

James saw him and thought he look so adorable. 'James stop.' he said to himself. He's been doing that a lot these days.

Sirius was wearing a griffindoor quitich sweater, with black sweats.

"All right everyone dinner time!" Ephmina said from the kitchen.

All the boys rushed downstairs from different directions.

Dinner was pork, green beans, mash potatoes, jello, and other items that were perfectly laid out on the table.

"Thank you Ephmina this looks amazing" said regulus.

"Of course dear!" She said with a smile.

They all started to eat and were surprised on how delicious the food was.

Halfway through regulus said "uh Sirius do you mind showing me where the bathroom is?"

"I can-" James started to say.

"NO! I mean - Sirius do u mind helping?" Reg asked again.

"Sure....." Sirius said with a confused face.

The blacks walked into a empty room.

"I didn't get any of the Potters a present. Did you?" Regulus asked

"Shit. No me neither" said Sirius

"Ok.....OH i know exactly what to do" regulus said snapping his fingers.

"KREACHER" regulus called out.

The house elf popped in with a crack.

"Kreacher I really need a favor from one friend to another?" Said regulus.

"Of course master regulus all though mistress walburga would not be happy with Kreacher, I would like to serve master regulus more" Kreacher said.

"Thank you Kreacher so what I need you to do is....." regulus started

————————————-

In the end the blacks got a string bracelet with a crystal on it for Ephmina, a pocket watch for Mr. Potter, and a empty photo album for James. All payed for with wallbergas money.

Present exchange was one of James favorite parts of Christmas. He loved not only to get gifts, but to give them too.

Regulus and Sirius gift was amazing he would love to put some photos in there. He gave regulus another on of his pairs of bell bottoms but had them altered this morning to fit the young black.

He gave Sirius a picture of the marauders together with a heart drawn over Sirius and Remus faces. Sirius teared up a bit.

You could say that James was the best gift giver of all the marauders.

Regulus loved his jeans, they fit perfectly. He always wanted muggle clothing.

—————————————————-

The next morning regulus didn't know what to do. He didn't wanna hang out with James or Sirius, and he definitely didn't want to be around James' parents.

So he did what he always did. He grabbed a book from the large Potter library and started to read.

The book was about a witch who fell in love with a wizard with lots of money and in the end she ended up killing him for his money.

Regulus thought this book was quite interesting. On one hand the man was verbally abusing her. On the other she literally killed him....he liked this girl.

Just then James walked in and looked around the room. "Hey Reggieeeeeeeee"

"Don't call me that. And what the hell do you want." Said an annoyed regulus.

"Will you come play quitich with me and Sirius please" asked James making puppy dog eyes.

"No." Said regulus bluntly

"Ah see I thought you would say that..." started James. Suddenly James walked over to him and snatched the book right out of his hands, And ran.

"Hey! Get back here Potter!" Said regulus running after him.

"Try and catch me little black" yelled James.

Suddenly James hit the table and went flying over it.

"Shit! James are you ok?" Regulus asked running to his side.

James groaned in pain.

All of a sudden regulus grabbed his book from James' arms and said "that's what you get for taking my book"

James groaned then chuckled "whatever you say little black"

Regulus rolled his eyes then walked away.

Regulus walked into the room and started to read again. He read. And read. And read. Until ms Potter called him for dinner.

"DINNER BOYS" said Euphimina

Regulus heard 2 sets of big stomps going down the stairs into the kitchen. Regulus on the other hand, calmly walked down the steps.

The dinner was delicious with chicken pot pie- a muggle dish which made his mouth water.

"Thank you Ephmina that was delicious" said regulus.

"Yea thanks mom!" Said James

"Fhank you!" Said Sirius his mouth full of chicken.

Regulus hit his brother in the arm, telling him to not talk with his mouth full.

After dinner and trecical tart for dessert, they all headed to bed.

Regulus took of his clothes leaving on his shirt and boxers, not knowing what was about to happen.
