"It's almost chriiiistmaas!" Kristi sang, dancing through the heads common room. Hope and Gracie followed, both skipping behind her. "Guys!" I cried as that smothered me in a hug. "Darling we havnt seen you in forever! Your up here BUIRIED in work because McGonagall is a prick and gave you stuff to do over christmas! Its terrible!" Kristi grinned at me as I tried to unwrap myself from the pile of hugs. "Guys-guys comon I know you havent seen me but- guys comon let me go- GUYS!" Grabbing the work, I marched towards my room. "Im putting this stuff away!" I called over my shoulder and raced away before they could capture me again.

Entering my room I smiled. James and I had been able to decorate our rooms anyway we wanted cause we were heads. I made mine like the cabin my family would travel to in the winter. The familier woodsy scent filled me as I placed the papers near my bag that was laid on my bed. The room was considerably large, my bed in the middle up against the wall, was made from polished wood and was draped in a dark emerald comforter. My trunk sat beside it, as did the rest of my school supplies. Pictures decorated the wall. Pictures of me and my family, my friends, and even the mauraders could be found among them. My dresser stood on the wall next to me, and opposite that stood a large bookshelf. Across from my bed a huge window looked out over the lake. I loved my room. It was just so.. magical. Chuckling at my use of wording I turned to study the pictures on the walls.

"Lily! Wherever could you be!" Gracie called, shaking me from my trance. Glancing around the grinning pictures once more, I bounded out of the room, grabbing my camera along the way.

"We're going to decoorattee!" I sang, waving my wand and causing lights, ornaments, and other christmas decorations to appear. Smiling cheekily at my friends, I handed each of them a strand of lights and tuned to the tree by the fireplace. Hope grabbed my camera and enchanted it to hover near us and take pictures automaticly. And with that, we began to decorate.

Gracie and I tackled the tree, stringing multicolored lights across the branches and winding them up to the top. Hope and Kristi came along beind us with ornaments, brightly colored baubles that glittered merrily in the light of the and grinning, singing at the top of our lungs to the radio, little by little we covered the tree. Standing back, we looked over our work. The tall tree was now covered with lights, and it definatly seemed cheerier. We high-fived, and got back to work. Holly around the fireplace, wreaths on the wall, poinsettas by the windows, lights around the pictures! We wanted the common room to look like christmas, not just like it did all the time.

"Hey guys!" turning at the sound of Hope and Kristi's voices, we burst out laughing when we saw what they were wearing. They had wrapped themselves in holly and lights, set wreaths on there heads, and struck a pose, no unlike one of a super-model. Overall, it was quite idiotic. "Why Kristi I never did find you the posing type" Sirius called as he and the mauraders stepped through the portrait hole. "Guess you don't know too much about me then" she answered flirtingly batting her eyes and walking over to him. Glancing over at Gracie, I noticed her eyes narrow at Kris and her eyes flash dangerously. Before I could say anythig though, Gracie had grabbed a few candy canes, and busied herslef hanging them around the room. A low whistle came from James as he survayed the room. "Maybe your bot such a fuddy duddy after all!" He said grinning. "Guess you don't know me so well huh?" Leaving Hope and remus to talk (Even though they CLAIMED they didn't like each other) James and I sat down on the couch. Unconciosly I leaned into him as he placed his arm around my shoulders, shivering in delight a his touch. No Lily, bad Lily. You DON'T like James. You DON'T! Chatting about what we wanted for christmas, and what we were getting, we easily slipped into conversations we had started previouse nights.

"Because it is christmas eve!" Sirius bellowed suddenly, "It calls for a game. It calls for a night of games." Eyes twinkling evily, he pulled a bottle of firewhisky from behind his back. Gracie seemed to have gained intrest in the conversations now, and was no longer giving Kris glares. Quickly removing his arms from my shoulders, James stood and offered me his hand. "Lily?" Why did it have to end? Is it bad that I love it when hes near me? I thought miserably as we made our way over to Sirius, Gracie, Kristi, and Peter.

"Oi! Lovebirds! Get over here!" Hope and Remus looked up, both blushing furiously. Hope scooted in between Me and Gracie, while Remus sat next to Peter and Sirius. They were as far away from each other as the circle allowed. "Now this is my new version of Truth or Dare. When being Dared, you can choose to do the Dare, or simply drink the bottle! Its refillable of course. And if you have truth, you have to take 5 sips, no matter what." Cocking an eyebrow, Kris leaned in and muttered, "Sounds like he just wants to drink." "That's right!" He called happily. "I do!"

Shrugging, I turned to James. "Whos first?" I asked. "Head first heads first!" The rest chanted. "Ok lily-" "Hold up how come I go first?" Looking slightly put out he repeated himself. "Ok Lily, truth or dare?" Grumbling about it not being fair, I thought for a moment. "Um dare" good lord I hoped I didn't regret this. An evil smile spread across James's face. "Oh I hoped you would say that."

"NO ABSOLUTLY NOT!" I roared angrily. "You have GOT to be kidding me" I spat as the rest of the group died with laughter. "Come onLily, or you have to drink the boootleee!" Sirius sang. I wasn't stupid. I KNEW I could hold too much liqor al at once. Groaning, I grabbed some holly and stomped towards my room. "Nuh uh you have to change out here!" he called. "In your dreams Black!"

I looked down at myself. I coulsnt BELIVE I was doing this. I should have just drank the firewhisky. I was dressed in nothing but holly, I had wrapped myself with the vines and it looked like an extremly revealing dress. Using my wand I had made sure it wouls stick and not fall of. At least im the first one, so no one is drunk yet. Stepping out of her room with her eyes shut tight, she made her way back to the fire. Hearing a wolf whistle her eyes snapped open and in one fluid motion she leaned over and slapped Sirius across the face. Crossing her arms she whined "Can I change back now?" "I think because you slapped me you should have to wear it all night!" Sirius moaned angrily. "You deserved it Black" Her friends were abviously holding in laughs, so when she spun around to go back up to her dorm, she was shocked to see James and Remus standing in front of the staircase, grinning evily. Laughter echoed nehind her as she walked up to both of them, swaying her hips slightly and brushing her hair over her shoulder. "You guys gunna move?" She asked. "Nope" remus replied. "You have to wear it all night." Leaning in she ran her hand up Remus's arm and sidled closer to him. Batting her eyeslashes she smiled up at him. 'And I KNOW you would love that." Kissing him softly on the cheek, she turned to James, leaving a stunned remus and a pissed off hope. "Come on James let me trough" she whispered in his ear, wrapping her arms around him. "Please?" She could tel she was weakening him. Remus still looked shocked, but James was moving, moving towards her. Oh she could kiss him RIGHT NOW! But she didn't. Ducking under his arms she yelled over her shoulder "Gotcha!"

James POV

Why the hell did she have to do stuff like that. But he had seen it in her eyes. She had wanted to kiss him. He had wanted to kiss her. And tonight, he would.

Lily POV

Soon I was back in my normal clothes, and the game of truth or dare was in full swing. We were all getting tipsy and I swear the next time Remus kissed Hope on the cheek I was gunna force their mouths together. He NEEDED to really kiss her already. James and Sirius had been forced to do a 10 second make out, dished out by Gracie. Remus had to stand up and confess his love for Hope and sing to her, Peter had to dress up like a girl for the rest of tghe night, Sirius had to dance, sing, and confess his love for Remus (Even thought he didn't love Remus, he loved Gracie), Hope had to lap dance, Gracie had to hang upside down for 5 minutes, and Kristi had to eat a whole pbowl of bubter pus. Notice al the girls got the crappy dares? "Ok guys" I slurred. "Out!" We had all drank waay to much, even though most of us really didn't have to drink, we just wanted to. Gracie and Sirius leaned together, peter ran into a wall on the way out, Kristi almost fell into the fire, and Remus gave a blushing hope a sloppy kiss on the cheek before leading her through the portrait. "Happy Christmas!" I called.

Giggling, me and James collapsed on the couch. My vision swayed, and I noticed Sirius had left the bottle lying on the carpet. Lurching forward, I snatched it up and announced "Never have I ever been a seeker." Shooting a pointed look at James, he looked confused before catching on and grabbing it from me. Taking a huge swig, he turned to me "Never have I ever worn a bra" Sticking my tounge out, I took it back and gulped down so firewhiskey. "Umm never have I ever made out with Sirius" I threw out jokingly. Looking sheepish, he took the bottle and drank some. I gaped at him in disbelif. "It was just a dare, remember?" he reminded me. Oh right, that. "Never have I ever lit Flitwicks hair on fire" Rolling my eyes, I grabbed the bottle from him. We bantered back and forth, getting steadily drunker. I was leaned against James, practicly on top of him, when he started running is hands down my back, and made slow circle with his hands between my shoulders. "I thin we should stop drinking" he said softly, tossing he bottle away. "yeah your probably right" I moaned, I could alreay feel a headach coming on. Summoning a cup, I filed it with water and took a sip. My vision almost instantly cleared. "Here have some" I murmered. His warm and covered mine when he took it from me. "Ok now comon its time for bed, its almost midnight."

Filled with sleep, I obliged and followed meekly as James led me to my room. "Wait- it almost midnight. One minute longer" I said, pulling back. He looked like he was going to disagree, but without a word he walked behind me abd put his arms around me. The warmth of his body seeped into my skin and I sighed in relife. I loved it when he hugged me. Sinking into him, I turned to face him when the clock struck 12. Throwing my arms around his neck I leaned in, feeling his breath stop as I moved towards him in. Tickling his ear I whispered "Happy Christmas James"
