Day 16 for Countdown to Christmas
Prompt:
Christmas Presents
Disclaimer: I disclaim?
"You'll never guess what Sirius just gave me, he said it would be one of my many Christmas presents this year."
"Er," James started, running his hand through his hair, "Do I want to know?"
Lily raised an eyebrow, "A thong. A lacy, maroon thong."
"Uh..."
"That's not even the best part," Lily pulled out the object from her purse, holding it up in front of James, on the thong was a gold, glittery 'J'.
"Oh no. I told - Ugh, of course that prat didn't listen."
"James..."
James sighed, running his hand through his hair, again. "It was something we made up years ago... I didn't even remember until he brought it up a couple of months ago. Back when we were in school, Fourth Year, Sirius and I had a bet going on. And you were involved."
"Do I even want to know what the best was," Lily asked, rolling her eyes.
He smiled sheepishly, "Probably not. But I'm going to tell you anyways. So there we were, lying in the Hospital Wing - don't ask, and..."
"Evans is just an angel, isn't she?"
"Please, James," Sirius scoffed, "The Giant Squid has a better chance of dating her than you do."
"Oh, you wanna bet?"
"Yes, actually, I do. If you and Evans aren't together until by our last Christmas at Hogwarts, then you have to wear a thong, created by yours truly, and nothing else, while dancing to Celestine Warbeck. Any of her songs will work."
"This sounds like you planned this..." James said uncertain, but he shook his hair out of his face. "Fine. And if we are together by our last Christmas here... then you have to do the same. Only to McGonagall."
"Deal."
"Wait, we didn't get together until March of that year," Lily pointed out, the thong still in her hand.
"Exactly. Lils, the thong isn't for you... it's for me."
I... honestly don't know where this came from. I literally wrote it in five minutes. I hoped you enjoyed, anyway... maybe someday I'll feel compelled to write more on this. Review, please!
