I threw this little fluff together today to try and get the gears going again. I've been very distant with my writing, so I'm trying to get better. I figure starting with my fanfictions is a good start. i'll try and do better.
Christmas tunes echo through the empty house while Sirius is plopped on his living room floor. He frowns at the pile of presents under his tree while his six kittens patter around him. This has to be the most depressing Christmas he's celebrated, if this even counts as celebrating. He already called James, Peter, Maddie, and Remus. They were all busy and had to go within five minutes.
He's contemplating heading to a bar when there's a loud bang on his door. His kittens scamper to hide. When he flings the door open, Lily holds up a six-pack.
"Merry Christmas."
"Did James send you?"
She pushes past him. "Not even going to let me in before you start bombarding me with questions. But yes and no."
Sirius takes her coat. "What do you mean?"
"He told me about the cats. I saw that as a cry for help, but I also wanted to come see the little guys."
"I appreciate the company, I really do, but why aren't you with your family?"
Her eyes scan the room for signs of the furballs. "I didn't have the money to fly home."
"Right, well, merry Christmas."
She cracks open a can. "To a happier New Year."
By the end of the night, or rather the morning, when Lily passes out on his sofa, he can no longer say it was his worst Christmas.
