Kisses, Christmas, and Woolymunchers

Lily and James walked down the corridor. They watched the map to make sure no one was coming. James motioned her under a tapestry and down a dank hallway. Quietly, James stopped and pointed to a door. He opened it soundlessly. Sirius and Emily were in the far corner, not really paying attention to the fact that they were being watched. Lily cleared her throat.

Emily jumped up and smirked. Normally one would blush at being caught in the situation she had, but she just laughed it off. She was about a head shorter than Sirius, and had loads of freckles. She always complained about her hair being too straight, and she often fell victim to sugar-rushes.

"Hi." Emily chirped perkily. Lily raised an eyebrow.

"Uh-huh." Lily said. Sirius and James laughed.

"Guess this means we tagged you." James said.

"What about the stunning?" Emily asked.

"You know we tagged you." Lily said.

"Prongs! You have the map, don't you?" Sirius asked.

"So?" James said, trying not to look guilty.

"Prongs! That's not fair and you know it!" Sirius said.

"Oh in the name of Merlin, you're just embarrassed that we caught you kissing." Lily chimed in. Emily shot her a semi-ferocious glare. Lily laughed.

"Whatever."

"Uh-huh. Anyway, are you going to choose?" Lily asked pointedly.

"Let's just get this over with." James suggested.

Emily sighed. "Fine. Truth." She said.

"Why were you guys kissing?" James and Lily asked at the same time.

"Because I'm madly attracted to him!" Emily said dramatically. She and Lily burst out in laughter.

"And Sirius?" James asked, ignoring the girls.

"Um, dare." He said.

"I dare you to tell her." James said. Sirius shook his head.

"No way." He said. "C'mon Lily!" He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the room.

"What did he want you to tell her?" Lily asked curiously.

"Nothing." Sirius mumbled.

"Ok." Lily and Sirius remained quiet. When they rounded the next corner, Callie stunned them. When Lily came to, Callie helped her up. Gregg was now her partner.

"Sorry Lily. Truth or Dare?" she asked.

"Um, truth." Lily said. Callie smirked. "Callie, don't." Lily pleaded.

"Who do you like?" Callie asked.

"Callie! You know that." Lily said. Callie laughed.

"Fine. Don't answer. Let's go Sirius!" Callie pointed Sirius towards where he and Lily had come from.

At dinnertime, the game ended. Apparently, Fred and Kate hadn't found anyone. Throughout dinner, Emily and Sirius were silent. When the six Gryffindors got upstairs, they stayed in the common room. Everyone was anxious because tomorrow was Christmas.

Emily jumped on the couch and laughed. Lily rolled her eyes. She felt a sugar-rush coming on.

"So whatta we gonna do? Huh? Huh? Whatta we gonna do?" Emily asked.

"Um, I dunno. I have to send Liane and Jen their Christmas presents." Lily said.

"What'd you get them, Lily?" Callie asked.

"Um, I got Liane a book and Jen a cute little owl. She doesn't have one." Lily said.

"Yeah. I better send our presents to Peter, guys." Remus said. James pulled out a small orb from his pocket and handed it to Remus. Lily and Callie handed him the girls' present, a bag of sweets. Lily then ran up to the dorm to collect the presents for Jen and Liane. Sirius ran upstairs and returned with a bottle of Rat tonic. Remus showed everyone the book he had gotten for Peter, A Neverending Book of Fabulous Pranks.

"So, what's that thingamajigger orb, James?" Emily asked.

"It a new product called a Rememberall. I figured he could use it." James answered. Emily nodded enthusiastically.

"Ok, well, I'm off." Lily said after returning with the girls' presents. Callie had gotten them books as well, and Emily gave each a bag of sweets from Honeydukes'. The boys had given them gag gifts of Filibuster Fireworks and dungbombs.

Remus and Lily set off for the owlery together.

In the morning, Lily awoke to find a small pile of presents at the bottom of her bed. Callie was already debating which of her presents to open first. Emily had settled on her bag of Treacle tarts.

"Hey Lily, this is cool." Callie said, holding up a subscription to a new magazine called WitchWorld. Lily nodded. Her own present from Callie, Emily and Liane had been a set of Emerald Green dress robes. They were lines in white Lilies, enchanted to never die. From Jen, Lily had received a pair of shoes to match the robes.

"Thanks you guys!" Lily said excitedly. "This is the one I was looking at in Madam Malkin's. Wow!" Lily jumped off the bed and hugged Callie and Emily.

The rest of Lily's gifts were books. She got A Zillion Pranks from James and Sirius, her parents had sent her a new copy of Hogwarts, A History (Petunia had thrown her last one out the window), and Remus and Peter had given her a book about wizarding towns.

After the girls finished unwrapping their presents, they got dressed and went down to the common room. The boys were there, complete with a new stash of prank supplies.

"Ugh." The girls said simultaneously.

"Well top of the morning to you too." James laughed.

"Just as long as no dungbombs or fireworks have our name on them, we wholeheartedly love your new 'toys'" Callie said. Emily and Lily nodded in agreement.

"Callie, you've hurt my feelings. Are you sure you don't want just one?" Remus said, handing her a dungbomb. Callie backed up.

"No thank you. I'm sure you'll find a better use for it than little old me." She said. Remus nodded.

The rest of the school returned two days later. To the Slytherins' utter dismay, their common room had been dungbombed and all of their clothes levitated just beyond their reach outside the windows.

Lily laughed to herself on her way to breakfast. All of the Slytherins reeked, and most of them had no socks. Little did they know that deep in the forest, woolymunchers were feasting.

A/N: Okay, there's another chapter just for you guys. I hope this was long enough for you. At least it's longer than the chapters in some other stories of mine. I really like this, but I promise I'll finish Sapphire Dusk. I'm procrastinating. Ugh. I need to work on that. Um, I meant to say something, but I forgot. Oh well.
