A/N: This is set in the time of the Marauders but after Hogwarts and of course before Lily and James Die.

Once Upon A December.

"What on earth are you two doing in there?"called Sirius.

"Apparently we are making cookies!" James said coming into the living room. "No magic Allowed" He added in a whisper so his wife Lily couldn't hear.

"Are you part of the recipie?" Asked Remus Lupin, trying to stifle his laughter but failing as James as covered in flour.

"No" James started trying to ignore Sirius's laughter. "The bag burst on me"

"It looks like you've aged 20 years" said Lily coming through from the kitchen for a minute, then leaving to get out of range from Sirius and James's fierce pillow fight.

"Watch the tree" she shouted "and Mind Harry!" as she said this the two pillow fighters froze and Remus burst out in laughter at their faces.

"Silent Night, Holy Night..." voices came from outside the front door

"Carolers!" Exclaimed Remus happily.

"Open the door then James" said Sirius. "Or are we ignoring them this year?" he asked in an audible whisper.

"Sirius open the door please." came Lily's voice from the kitchen.

"Why can't you or James do it?"he complained."I mean it is your house" he grudgingly opened the door.

"Hi"he said in a fake voice "well isn't your singing mighty fine today" he said in his best southern belle voice.

"Sirius! ... Hi sorry about my friend the mental ward at St Mungos promised he would be fine over Christmas .. but no such luck." Said James coming into view ... defloured.

The whole crowd of carolers burst into laughter because they all knew of James and Sirius's reputataion at Hogwarts. Many of them had been there with them so it was all fine.

"Would you like to come in?" asked Lily. "I have just baked some cookies do you want some?"

There was a chorus of Yes pleases and OK's. "You see guys" she added "You have to invite the carolers in for hot chocolate."

"Oh right" said Sirius "Thats why they throw snowballs at mine when I tell them to bugger off."

Laughter rang out about the room and the baby in the cradle by the tree started to stir.

"Oh dear" whispered Lily from James knee in the rocking chair. She was sat curled up on James knee and he was kissing the top of her head.

"Hey Remus... Oh sorry James, did i hurt you?" She had sat up qiute abruptly and knocked his jaw. "Remus can you pass me Harry and his bottle...It's in his cradle."

"sure Lily" said Remus standing up and giving Harry to her.

As she got hold of Harry he started to whimper.

"Sshh, sshh Harry.. don't cry." she whispered

"Hey we better get going" said one of the carolers

"Yeah okay then."said James and Remus.

"Sirius show them out" said lily laughing

"Not again" he said sarcastically as lily started to sing Harry to sleep

Dancing Bears, Painted wings

Things I almost Remember

And a song someone sings

Once upon a December

Someone holds me safe and warm

Horses prance through a silver storm

Figures Dancing gracefully

Across my memory

And a young boy called Harry Potter was asleep in his dorm at Hogwarts. While he dreamt of his Mother and Father.

Someone holds me safe and warm

Horses prance through a silver storm

Figures dancing gracefully

Across my memory

Far away, Long ago

Glowing dim as an ember

Things my heart used to know

Things it yearns to remember

And a song someone sings

Once upon a December...
