Wednesday it was as if I was never sick. Over the weekend, the only time I left the Gryffindor tower was to eat. Sirius didn't leave my side. I spent the entire weekend in his arms. He insisted on kissing me, even though he could get sick. He said that he didn't care if he caught my cold. But, of course, he didn't.
I walked into the Great Hall smiling. It was the last day at Hogwarts, we were having a Christmas party in Healing, and we weren't having Potions last period because we were given extra time to pack. And I had the most amazing couple of days with Sirius.
On Saturday morning we were sitting on the floor in the common room. I was curled up on his lap and he had his hand on the back of my head, pulling me in. He took my face in my hands and kissed me.
"Sirius, I don't want you to get sick." I said when he pulled away, he kissed me again
"I don't care if I get sick. It's worth it." I rested my head on his shoulder, "You look so pretty in my sweater." He said pulling the hood up over my head
"Really?" he nodded, "You really think I'm pretty?"
"Of course! You're the prettiest, most beautiful, most attractive, sexiest girl I've ever met." I blushed
"You really think I'm sexy?" I asked, with my cheeks burning, he nodded, "Even when my temperature is 100, my nose is all stuffed up, and my skin is sickly pale?"
"You look sexier now than you ever have." He kissed me, making me laughed
"You're so sweet." I kissed him and rested my head on his shoulder
So when I got to breakfast he took me by the waist and pulled me against him. He kissed me, making everyone but Jenna and Lily roll their eyes. I stood higher on my toes; he held his grip on me tighter. I felt something under my arms lift me off the ground and pull me away from him. Jenna and Lily set me down.
"What?" I groaned
"Well good morning to you too." Jenna said sarcastically
"Good morning best mates, how are you today? Now what is it?"
James threw me a box wrapped in boring brown paper. The address was from where I ordered Sirius's Christmas present from. I tore open the box and carefully looked inside, making sure Sirius couldn't see. Inside was a Bludger with a small gold plate with the words Sirius, with all my love, Dylan and a little heart. Seeing as he's a Beater, I thought it was appropriate. I closed the box and set it down on the bench, kissing Sirius.
"I have to go, see you later, love."
"What's in the box?" he asked, I thought for a moment
"Um… it's just a present from a relative in America." James opened his mouth to say something, but I glared at him, "Let me just… put this in my room."
"Alight, see you when you get back." He kissed me before I grabbed the box and ran out of the Great Hall with Jenna and Lily behind me
…
I ran into my room and pulled out the gift bag I had been saving. Jenna and Lily sat down on my bed and waited for me to show them. They were the only other people who knew the main thing I was getting Sirius for Christmas. I pulled the Bludger out of the box and handed it to them.
"Oh my god! This is the most kick-ass present I've ever seen." Jenna said looking at it with wide eyes, Lily snatched it out of her hands and looked at it with even wider eyes
"Whoa, were did you get this from?" she asked
"The Quiditch shop in Diagon Alley. While we were shopping for school books and such, I snuck into the shop and quickly made the order. I told them that if they needed to contact me, that they should send it to Hogwarts."
"Wait…" Lily looked at the note, "This says 'All my love', but when you made the order you weren't dating him yet." I took it in my hand and sat down on the bed
"Yeah, once we started going out I wrote to them and said to change the signature." I placed it in the bag and covered it with tissue paper, "Oh… Lily… I should tell you something."
"What?" I winced and looked away
"I sort of ordered something else there for my brother." I said
"And?"
"I sort of… addressed it from you." She smacked my arm
"Why the bloody hell did you do that?!" she shrieked, Jenna fell over laughing
"I thought you two would be dating by now. But it's no big deal," she threw a pillow at me, "I'll just charm it to say that it's from me."
"You better!" she yelled, "Come on, let's go back to breakfast." She stormed off to the door but Jenna called her back
"Wait, hold on," she gasped for air, "Wait until I catch my breath." Lily rolled her eyes and slammed the door, I fell on the bed laughing with Jenna
…
Jenna, Lily, and I walked into healing to see Professor Garrens standing next to a table filled with desserts. The classroom was decorated with Christmas decorations and charmed healing materials that took the shape of a Christmas tree that almost reached the ceiling.
"Hey girls!" Garrens said greeting us with a smile, "We're having a party today, oh and that paper is due once you guys get back from Christmas break."
We all looked at each other and immersed ourselves in the party
…
"Have you guys seen my spell books?" Lily asked looking up from her trunk. Jenna and I shared a look
"Actually Lily…" I said
"We his them." Jenna finished
"Why?" she yelled
"Because we don't want you to read over Christmas break. It's a time to have fun, Lil." Jenna said
"We did it out of love." I said putting a hand on her shoulder. She rolled her eyes and continued packing
"Hold on a second, I have to get changed."
I took my pair of skinny jeans, a tank top, and pair of flat heeled boots. I went into the closet that we had in our room, which we all used to get changed. When I got out I slipped on the sweater Sirius gave me. I locked my trunk and laid on my bed, pulling the hood up. There was a knock on the room and Remus poked his head in
"Dylan, James wants to see you." I started for the door and caught him looking at Jenna. But, of course, she didn't notice. On the balcony, James was leaning on the wall. Remus walked down the stairs, leaving us alone
"What's up?" he let out a long sigh
"Can you do me a favor?"
"Yeah, sure. What is it?"
"Well… do you think you could… get Lily to hate me just a little less. Just for Christmas day and I'll be set for life. If you do, you don't have to get me anything for Christmas or my birthday for three years."
"Whoa, calm down James." I said laughing, "If you keep talking that fast you're going to choke." He laughed a bit, "Alright, I'll talk to her." He quickly hugged me, "James!"
"Sorry…" he said leaning on the wall again. The door opened and Lily came out. Lily stood up straight and stared at her. Lily looked away
"Oh… sorry…" she ran down the stairs, James sighed and leaned against the wall again
"Why does she hate me so much?" he slammed his head on the wall, I put a hand on his shoulder
"Don't worry, James. I'm going to talk to her" Sirius came out of the room and saw me
"Hey, love, done packing yet?" he said taking me by the waist
"Yes I am." I put my hands on his shoulders and kissed him, James groaned and rolled his eyes he slowly started walking away, down the stairs, "James I'm sorry, I told you I'll talk to her!" I called after him.
"You'll talk to who?" he asked cocking an eyebrow
"It's nothing, love. Don't worry about it." I stood on my toes and kissed him
