Thirty-Five

The best Christmas gift

I woke up on Christmas morning to a cold bed. Sirius had convinced me to stay with him in the boys dorm, since Christmas is a special holiday. I had expected to wake up next to him, but all I woke up to was Peter snoring and Remus curled up in a ball sleeping.

James bed was empty when I looked over to see where he was. He and Sirius must be together planning something. Peter's snoring kept interrupting my train of thought, so I chucked a pillow at his head. Peter was sleeping so deep, that the pillow didn't even make him flinch.

I turned over to the nightstand beside me and saw Sirius had taken my wand with him. Dirty bastard. Where was he and why did he have my wand with him?

If I didn't have my wand, then that meant I only had my dark magic to rely on to wake Peter up. Remus was peacefully sleeping, so I didn't want to wake him up to help me. There was another full moon in a few days and I knew he needed the rest for the time being.

As I was about to cast a spell on Peter, James and Sirius abruptly entered the room blowing an air-horn. Lily was behind them taking what she called a polaroid and Marlene was holding onto Dorcas' arm laughing her ass off. At least Peter was up now.

"Silencieuse" I whispered, making the airhorn not work anymore. James looked at the airhorn then at me. He smirked then threw the bottle at me. I jumped out of the bed and fell onto the ground.

I pushed myself up from the ground, "JAMES FLEAMONT POTTER!" He shared a look with Sirius asking for help, but Sirius said he was on his own now. I took the bottle that landed by my feet and threw it at him hitting him on the head.

James clutched his head in pain, "Christmas is supposed to be about holiday spirit and fun times. Not hitting me in the head with a airhorn bottle that you silenced! You ruined the fun!"

Hopping to my feet, I marched towards him, "I ruined the fun? James, you woke us up with an airhorn that you probably had to beg Lily to let you have and dragged Sirius out of bed to do so. You took away my personal pillow!"

Sirius raised an eyebrow, "Personal pillow?" I nodded and he came and wrapped his arms around me. He kissed me on the head, "I'm sorry for leaving you early, love. I will try not to go it again, or at least leave a note."

I pulled back a bit and smiled. Looking into Sirius' eyes were so memorizing. He had the look of a bad boy, but looking at his facial features, you could tell that was just a show. He was eighteen now, but still had his babyface.

We stood there holding and looking at each other, when I heard a click noise. I turned my head to Lily who was waiting for a polaroid to develop. She looked up and smiled, "It will be cute. This time last year you two weren't even speaking. Who knows what next Christmas will look like."

Sirius and I both let out a nervous laugh. Lily gave us a confused look as she handed us the polaroid. Sirius took it from her hands, "Well, we will be married and most likely still on our honeymoon. We decided on a wedding date. The wedding will be December 14th, 1978."

"Then, while we are on our honeymoon, we are going to have a little ceremony for just us. The wedding is mostly for our family and friends. Most of it will be for pureblood reasons, so we decided we wanted a little ceremony for just us." I butted in.

Dorcas smiled, "I know I'm not really around you all that much, but I think that's a perfect idea. The safest place to have a wedding that's meaningful and won't be rushed will be far away form here. Pureblood weddings I heard, are really rushed and not the best planned. They just buy the best things and call it a day."
