Lily and James were sitting down by the fire when they heard a knock on the door. James got up to answer it while Lily stayed in the sitting room.

James opened the door to see a drunk Sirius carrying a rather large Christmas tree.

"Happy Halloween, bitches, I brought you a Christmas tree," he slurred.

"Sirius, it's July... where did you get that? Never mind. How much have you had to drink?" James asked.

"Drink? I haven't drank since... since... Hey do you have anything alcoholic," he shouted.

"Come and sit down," said James, leading Sirius inside and leaving the.

"Lil, make Siri a cup of coffee, would you?" he asked.

Sirius lied down on the sofa.

"James went through to the kitchen with Lily. "Looks like Sirius is staying for the night," he said.

"Yeah, we can't let him go like that," she agreed.

They walked back through with a cup of coffee to see Sirius, asleep and drooling on the sofa.

"Lily! Fetch the camera!" James suggested eagerly.

Lily sighed and fetched her Muggle camera. She handed it to James, who excitedly took several pictures.

"He's all yours, James. If he throws up, you'll be the one cleaning it," she told him, but he was on the floor, splitting his sides laughing.

Lily only sighed and went to bed. Oh, the joys of marrying James Potter.
