Dumbledores daughter and the marauders

Christmas comes once again

Christmas came quickly again and I found myself waking up before all the other boys. I took this as my chance to prank them but before I could Remus stirred from his slumber.

"Snowy? What in the world are you doing?" He asked rubbing his eyes.

"Damnit Moony, you messed it all up" I responded shaking my head in pretend disappointment.

"Messed what up?" He responded getting from his bed and walking over peering down at the bucket of water that sat by my feet.

"The wake up prank I was going to pull, just means i'll have to get the other three, anyways, Merry Christmas Remus" I whispered with a smile blushing slightly as I noticed how close Remus and I were.

"Merry Christmas Alice" Remus said stepping even closer. Up close I could see the way the scars shaped his face. We were an inch apart before I fully came to terms with what was happening and in an instant I felt his lips touch mine.

We broke away after about five seconds and I smiled feeling my face heat up quickly.

"So, um, Alice, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the next Hogsmeade trip with me?" Remus asked fidgeting slightly with his hands. My mind lit up with a bright happiness.

"Sure" I responded.

"Now about that prank..."

The two boys out of the three were angry when we got them. I had gotten James whilst Remus went for Sirius and the two were furious from the cold shower they had woken up to. Peter was still left asleep and after James and Sirius got over the fact that their hair was soaked we all went to wake Peter.

Sirius went all out going outside into the snowstorm to fill the bucket with snow. After that he brought it upstairs and dumped it straight onto Peter with no thoughts. Despite the freezing snow he still sat up slowly and rubbed his eyes.

"I was thinking of giving you your present Black, but now i'm thinking over that decision" He said opening his eyes and glaring at Sirius.

"Well, I won't give you yours than" Sirius replied crossing his arms and turning his head away.

"Merry Christmas guys" Peter said with a smirk after successfully annoying Sirius.

"Merry Christmas Wormtail" We all responded. The term 'we' excluding Sirius who was still holding his grudge.

"Come on Sirius, i've never heard you so quiet on Christmas, this is a surprise" Remus said pushing Sirius causing him to stick his hands out to balance himself.

"I was thinking about trying to sneak around this morning but, oh well" Sirius said. I tilted my head in confusion but followed James, peter and Remus who all went to block their ears.

"IT'S CHRISTMAS MORNING, PETERS ANNOYING, AND I AM VERY, VERY HUNGRY" Sirius screamed. It sounded like yelling even though my ears were blocked.

"That one didn't even rhyme Padfoot" I rolled my eyes.

"Just speaking the truth Snowy, now where's that Dragon of yours, I want to set it on Peter" Sirius said walking from the room.

"Hey, thats so rude" Peter called to his retreating back.

"Just speaking the truth" Sirius replied jumping on the banister and sliding out of site.

"What are we going to do with him" I said shaking my head with a smirk.

"We could gang up on him, who wants to, Snowball fight and than we can all pummel him with Snow" James said with a wide grin spreading over his face.

"Yes, please, let's all call a truce" Remus said smirking and putting his hand in the middle of the circle.

"Truce" I whispered joining.

"Truce" James and Peter aid together also putting their hands in.

"Great, now let's go downstairs before he gets suspicious" Remus said leaving the room. I was about to follow when the parents all walked down the stairs.

"Merry Christmas Alice" Mrs Potter said smiling.

"Merry Christmas, I sure do hope I didn't wake up the boys to early, it was an hour later than last year, also, far warning to you all, Sirius is in a terrible mode, be careful" I said laughing and running down to join my friends. I walked into the living room to see Sirius hanging upside down over the back of the chair.

"What are you doing Padfoot?" I asked staring at him weirdly.

"Why are you asking me?" He responded.

"Because you're the one doing it" I said raising my eyebrows.

"It's comfortable Snowy, you should really try it" He said just before slipping and falling straight onto his head.

"Um, I think i'll pass on that offer thanks" I said wincing at the large thud that shook the floor when his head made contact with it.

"I heard a large thud, what in the world" James said walking into the room. "Umm, Padfoot?"

"Oh, Hey James, how're you doing up there" Sirius said lying on the floor with one hand on his head and the other used to wave at james who was giving a look that I didn't think even I would be able to do.

His face was contorted into an extremely confusing face making me confused as well.

"How in the world does his face contort like that" I whispered back to Remus who had joined in on the fun.

"Beats me" Remus replied.

"Well Kids, it seems you have woken up early, we may as well get this over with" Mr Potter said walking into the room.

"YAY" Sirius yelled from the floor.

"Maybe get up first" I said smirking at Sirius.

"Whatever" Sirius huffed rolling around the couch and sitting up.

"What am I doing with a friend like him" I muttered to know one in particular.

"I second that" Remus smirked.

About an hour later the living room was barely recognisable as it was completely covered in wrapping paper of all colours. It reminded her of a colourful snowstorm.

Overall it had been a great Christmas. She was receiving and giving her presents to her teachers when her father came to pick her up later on. But just from her friends and their parents she had received,

A book on types of Dragons and their Physical aspects from Remus

Food of all types from Peter

Prank supplies (much to the dismay of the adults) from Sirius

A photo album of memories from James and

More food and clothing items from the adults.

We were just about to commence our Snowball fight and I was wearing several layers of clothes.

"Are we still ganging up on Sirius" Remus asked.

"Yeah" I said smiling.

"James and Peter both said they would to" Remus said laughing and moving off to the side. The game began and we immediately threw all the snowballs we had prepared early at Sirius who fell to the ground and tried covering himself with his hands.

"YOU TRAITORS" He yelled but definitely regretted after I got a snowball in his mouth.

"At least you don't have snowballs following you, if only I could do magic outside of school" I said shaking my head sadly.

"We should all be happy about that" James said before I had an idea. When I went back to school I could just enchant ones to fly back to them. I smirked to myself before engaging fully in the game again.
