To Sirius aka Padfoot,

Merry Christmas, you pain in the arse. I'm serious about calling you this, loser. Here's your Christmas present and no - it does not mean that I need to give you your birthday present. This counts as your birthday present. Your birthday's November, right? Great. Double up this Christmas present as your birthday present too. Enjoy your bitter Mandrake leaf and I hope you don't need to repeat it. I only gave you three, you ass.

XOXOXOX Diana Allister aka Artemis

       Diana wrapped Sirius's present quickly. It was a simple present, really. It was just a muggle book. One of the many Diana had. It was titled Romeo and Juliet. The Slytherin didn't know why she chose to gave that to Sirius, but the boy sure did need lessons on love. Changing and shagging girls were not supposed to happen once a week and then - getting another girl.

        "Let's hope Padfoot learnt his lesson on love," said Diana sarcastically, dropping her quill on the table. It was a randomly picked present, really, and Diana also knew that Sirius had read A Midsummer's Night Dream before.

        Next, Diana looked at another parcel that had Rudolph designs on it; it was fitting for Prongs, after all. She had to secretly travel to the muggle world by bribing her guard to bring her there. She had gotten Sirius paw-print wrappings, Remus wolf-paw wrappings, Lily lily-flower wrappings, and Peter... a rat wearing antlers. Christmas spirit, right? She loved each of the wrappings and thought that they were perfect, if she had to be honest with herself.

To James aka Prongs,

Enjoy your Christmas present from me. I had to sneak to the muggle world to get these. Easy, since you know we Allisters have charm - Diana was sure that James would laugh at that - and keep your Mandrake leaf there and don't spit it out.

Your favourite female friend after Lily,
Diana Allister aka Artemis.

       And with that, she finished the letter, tying it to the parcel that consisted of another muggle book; an Agatha Christie novel. James loved mystery novels, after all. And maybe that would encourage the bespectacled boy to read more.

       Diana looked at the present she gave Peter. It consisted of a satchel with an undetectable extension charm, her work which she done during her spare time at Hogwarts. It took days learning the spell and the correct wand movement. She hoped that Peter made use of it - probably to store an endless amount of food, of course.

To Peter aka Wormtail,

I got you an endless bag. Keep food there and be careful to not spit out the Mandrake leaf. You're responsible enough so I trust you.
