It was Saturday and everyone was getting ready for dinner. Molly said that it's a casual day so anyone wearing fancy clothes won't get any presents so they arrived in jeans, baggies and loose t-shirts. Remus and Tonks arrived with Teddy about an hour early to settle him in. Harry and Ron were also there so they decided to have some fun.

They played with the brooms for a while when Sirius arrived along with two of Remuss school buddies , Tommy and John . He hugged them and realized how long it's been since he's seen anyone from school. They were also joining in the fun while waiting for the others to arrive.

Tommy was getting bored "Hey, why don't we show them how a real game is played" he said with a twinkle in his eyes. "Ye, how about rugby. That aught to shake them a little" John said with the same twinkle. Sirius looked convinced but Remus was a little skeptical. "I don't know. They don't know how it works and Molly might get angry" he said. "You mean Tonks huh" Sirius said with a laugh. Remus pulled a face but nodded and said "Okay" with a sigh..

And so the game of rugby began. But this was not the usual little tackle here and little running there. This was barbarian rugby, which meant a lot of aches and panes afterwards. Remus and Sirius on the one end and Tommy and John on the other with two marked goals on each side.

Tommy kicked of and Remus caught the ball. They didn't even see the little group in the kitchen watching them with Harry and Ron on the outside. Remus caught it and was running full speed to the other end. He passed it quickly to Sirius when Tommy came rushing towards him. Sirius caught it and side stepped John. He tossed it back to Remus who caught it but he couldn't turn fast enough. Tommy tackled him so hard that he flew in the air and landed on his stomach cradling the ball.

Harry gasped and wanted to run forward to help him but Sirius shouted no and ran to Remus while tackling John of him. Remus passed him the ball while he ran past Tommy. Sirius ran and passed the ball backwards to Remus. He caught it and dodged Tommy once again to finally jump forward and score a try while still sliding on the grass.

He and Sirius shouted with triumph and gave each other a high five. Everyone inside and outside were still a little bit shocked at how rough the game was while they just kept on playing. "I guise that's why they were always limping on a Monday morning" said Minerva after a while"

It was time to open the presents and everyone was sitting in the living room with anticipation. The entire tree was packed full with all the hundreds of presents . They decided to make little elves do the job of handing them out. Not real ones, Hermione, Ginny, Luna and Tonks were dressed up as elves with pointy shoes and Christmas hats.

"Alright everyone quiet down, were about to start." Molly said while waving them quiet. Ginny took a present from the pile that had little cars on them. "And the first present of the night goes to Remus" she said while gesturing him forward. "You can just put mine down next to you Ginny" he said trying to avoid standing up. "Ha, as if. Your coming right here mister." She said with a firm voice. Remus rolled his eyes and stood up. He took the present from her but she wouldn't let go. He raised an eyebrow and she asked. "Have you ever been to a Christmas like this?" he shook his head and she said "You have to kiss the elf who gives you the present." Remus laughed a bit and looked at Tonks who nodded.

He gave Ginny a light peck on the lips and said to break the tension. "I'm just glad you didn't use real elves Molly" and pulled a face. They all started laughing and the presents were handed out . Before they new it the tree was empty and Molly was gesturing for them to sit at the table for dinner.

Dinner was just one laugh after the other. Tonks was once again making faces while Remus was telling jokes. He kept a straight while everyone else was laughing their asses of. He sipped the wine delicately and said in a real gentleman like voice "This wine is superb Arthur. The taste is divine and it has a tad punch of Vodka that mixes perfectly with this roasted beef. It has this after taste that makes your mouth water for more. Not literally because then you'd be like waterboy walking around while gapping like a fish to breath in the atmosphere full of toxic and deathly particles that could suck out your blood, dry out your lungs and eat the flesh right of your bones." Remus said while swooshing it around in the glass.

Everyone stared at him for a while before bursting into laughter. They were almost on the ground and clutching their stomachs while Remus was still delicately drinking his wine. The night went by to fast for everyone who were still dancing and chatting at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Remus and Tonks decided to leave to put Teddy in his own bed and not in Ginnys. They were still so full of energy and boo's that they couldn't sleep. They decided to go through all the photo albums and laughed at how ridiculous they looked when they were young. Remus stared at his photo's of when he was older.

He laughed a little "I wonder if I'll still look like that when I grow old" "No you won't. Those scars won't be there, your eyes will be full of life, You won't have to deal with that furry little problem anymore, you won't look so tired and most of all, you'll have me standing next to you ." Tonks said with a genuine smile.

Remus kissed and hugged her tightly "Thank you so much. I love you so, so much and will no matter how you look." He said earnestly. "You better watch what you say. I'm a metamorphous which means I can turn into a pig" she said and laughed at the look on he's face.

That morning they only slept two hours before being woken up by Teddy and his vocal cords. Their boddies might have been woken but it felt like their heads were about to split in half. This was going to be a long day for both of them.
