Back In Time

Christmas, a Full Moon, and Lily

It was now the last day of school. Until Christmas break. Tomorrow. Most of the students at Hogwarts would be leaving to go home. And spend the holidays with their families. I. Of course. Would be staying here. Not that I didn't stay at Hogwarts every year in my time. But. Yeah. I'd be here. Although. Lily was staying here as well. The rest of the girls were going home. But. Lily wasn't. So. At least I wouldn't be alone. I didn't know about the boys yet. I kept forgetting to ask them. Or. If they ever mentioned it. I didn't hear. So. That's were I was now. In the boys' Dorm. Just hanging out.

I was laying on Remus's bed. I don't why. But Remus's bed is just comfiest. Sometimes I go on Sirius's bed. But. Mostly. It's Remus's bed I'm on. Both Remus and Sirius were sitting on the bed too. Remus to my left. Sirius to my right. James was on his bed. Peter was on the floor. Between Remus and James's bed. Leaning on the wall. A confused look on his face.

"What's on your mind, Wormtail?" James called out.

"It's just. I was thinking." Peter paused. "Synonyms are weird. Because. If you invite someone to your cottage in the forest, that sounds nice and cozy. But, if I invite you to my cabin in the woods, you're going to die." He explained. I cocked an eyebrow. Peter sometimes says the weirdest of things.

James laughed. "I've heard of those. My favorite is 'butt dial' versus 'booty call.'" I rolled my eyes.

"It's called a connotation." Remus and I said at the same time. I looked at him. He looked at me. And we shook our heads at each other.

I saw Sirius smirk. And turn his head. Slowly. At Remus. Giving him a pointed look. "Also. 'Forgive me father, I have sinned' versus 'sorry daddy, I've been naughty.'" I bursted out laughing. To the point. Where I had tears. Streaming down my face. I looked over at Sirius. And gave him a high five. He continued smirking.

Remus. However. Choked. "Great news! Language is canceled."

I finally stopped laughing. My sides and stomach. Hurting. I wiped my eyes. With the sleeve of my shirt.

"Now that that's over. I have a question for ya'll. Who's staying here for Christmas?" Looking at the boys.

"I'm not. Mum wants me home this year." James called out.

"Same thing over here." Peter nodded his head.

"Well. I'm staying. I'm not going home for Christmas. I don't want to go home for the holidays." Sirius shrugged.

"Yeah. I'm staying here too. I don't really feel like going home for the holidays either." Remus added.

I smirked. Excellent. Both Remus and Sirius are staying. "Good. I won't be totally alone during the holidays. I mean. Lily's staying as well. But. I was kinda hoping for one of my boys to be staying as well. And I got two. So. I'm good."

"Your boys?" Sirius asked. Cocking an eyebrow.

"Yes. 'My boys.'" I smirked at him. I nudged Sirius with my elbow. "Hey? Think you'll be able to handle two Werewolves on your own? By yourself?"

Sirius smirked. "Yeah. I bet I can. It'll be easy. You just wait and see."

"I guess we will." I smirked back.

It was now Christmas Morning. The moon was still up when I woke up. I stared at the moon for a bit. It was almost full. Tonight. In fact. It would be full. On Christmas. Great. But. It was only for one night. So. It wasn't so bad. Not if I did the process. Then it should be fine.
