25th December 1979
Christmas would be a lot different due to the passing of Euphemia and Fleamont Potter. Instead Molly thought it would be a good idea to hold the occasion at the Burrow.
"Did you get Saph's bottle?" Opal asked Sirius, as he strapped her in the baby carrier, he held up the bottle, nodding.
"Got it." He said, "Moony! Time to go,"
"I'm coming, I'm coming," He stumbled out of his room, carrying a bunch of presents.
"We said no presents," Opal said, helping him before he dropped them all on the floor.
"They're for the kids-"
"Awwh, what!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Padfoot, you are a kid. Opal's holding yours,"
"Yes!"
The three of them stepped into the fireplace and moments later they were transported to the Burrow. The entire living room was filled with Order members, Alastor Moody had a bunch of eager looking members as he told them about one his missions.
Molly greeted them, giving them a hug before rushing back into the kitchen.
"Oh there they are," Remus said, pointing over to James and Lily.
"Hey," Lily said, as they sat down on the sofa.
"Give me the baby." James said, holding out his arms for Sapphire, Sirius let out a laugh as he gave her to him.
"Opie!" Ruby shouted as she ran down the stairs followed by Charlie and Percy.
"Merry Christmas, Rubes!" she said, giving her younger sister a hug.
"Is Sapphie here?" she asked, then gave a huge gasp as she saw her with James. "Can I hold her?"
"You've got to be extremely careful, okay?" James told her, "Sit up properly."
"Okay, I can do that." Ruby said, positioning herself by the arm of the sofa.
"Oh, aren't they cute?" Dorcas said, tilting her head on Marlene's shoulder, watching Ruby and Sapphire.
"Oh, you never guess who had a baby?" Marlene said.
"Benjy, we know-"
"No Andrea Diggory, she had a girl-"
"Really?" Sirius asked.
"Awwh, remember when you guys dated," Opal said, nudging him.
"It was like a week,"
"No I'm sure it was longer- or was that Sarah Clearwater?"
"Why must you bring up my ex's when we are happily together with a child?" Sirius rolled his eyes.
"It's funny watching your reaction."
"Hey, Remus, do you remember when we dated?" Lily spoke up.
The group became quiet, all of them with their mouths gaped, James looked at the two in astonishment.
"It was for like.. Eight hours," Remus said, sheepishly.
"What?" James asked.
"Remus, you had a girlfriend and didn't tell me- and it was Lily!" Opal said, offended.
"You dated my wife!"
"James, relax, it was in fourth year and we decided we're much better off as friends."
"You dated my wife! And you didn't tell me!"
"She hated your guts, Prongs."
"I did." Lily nodded.
