chapter seventeenth

Christmas was on the doorstep.
Most of the students left home including Remus, Marlene, Peter and Lily.
James's parents were at a conference, concerning the shampoo business, so their sons - James and Sirius - ought to stay at school.

The corridors smelt of gingerbread and pine, and the pie that James put into his pocket was still warm. He jumped on the empty stairs and continued his way to the tower. In the Common Room he laid on a sofa and put his head in Regulus's lap. Sirius grunted, but his face showed a calm, giddy expression.

'Did you take it?' he asked with his eyes pasting on James's pockets.

'I did.'

James took out the pie, from his extended pocket and placed it on the table. With an easy spell they cut up the pie, and all three of them started to feast.

'Merry Christmas to all of you!' James smiled brightly to the brothers.

'You too!' Sirius mumbled with his mouth full - in these moments James was wondering how do girls him attractive -.

Regulus on the other hand leaned closer and wishpered ''you too'' in his ears. James felt his stomach twist as he looked in the other's greyish brown eyes. He caressed his face and got a fallen eyelash between his thumb and pointing finger. He blew air on it three times and asked;

'Upper or downer?'

'Downer.' Regulus said and miraculously the eyelash was on the thumb.

'Okay, make a wish.'

'Done.' Regulus smiled.

'So who comes to the party?' Sirius asked while putting his legs on the table.

'Two girls from Hufflepuff, four girls from Ravenclaw and three boys, and six from Slytherin. The rest nine are Griffindors.'

'It'll be wicked.' Sirius smiled enthusiastically.

'I reckon.'

'I'm invited too?' Regulus batted his eyelashes at them.

'Let me think... Yes.' Sirius said and smiled at his brother.

The two of them got closer, than they ever were in the past years. One time James saw them hugging, but he wouldn't let them know for the world.

'Alright lovebirds, I'm off to see Mary.' Sirius climbed up the slide turned stairs.

Regulus with his brother gone sat in James's lap and kissed him softly. James that kissed Regulus on the forehead and rested his head on Regulus's shoulder.

'The party is starting in 5 hours right?'

'Yes, but before that we'll attend the feast.' James said 'but that's in 3 hours.'

'Can you show me your room then in the meantime?' Regulus asked 'You were in mine and I want to see yours too.'

It was funny to hear him talk. While James wasn't poor either, the Black brother's accent were much more sophisticated, and their words rich.

'Of course you can.'

Their room had and easy layout. Five rooms in a pentagonical shape. His was right between Sirius and Peter's, and infront of Kingsley and Remus's. He jumped into his bed screaming ''bomb'' while dragging Regulus with him. The younger boy planted a kiss on him, rather passionately while hugging him tight.

James could only think of how much he loves this boy.
