Chapter 3: Christmas Break
It seemed only yesterday that they six had made mud people, but it was already the 10th of December.
That day, Lily received a letter by owl post from her parents.
Dear Lily,
We leave in two days for a trip. We won't be here this Christmas. You canstill come home if you would like. You can invite 6 friends if you like. We won't be back before you leave for school again.
Love Mom.
A grin spread over Lily's face. "you thinking what I'm thinking, guys?" He friends began to grin as well.
"Party for 6 at my place!!!"
Christmas break came and the 6 of them left Hogwarts. Once at Lily's they took of their coats and had a blast.
Christmas was rather eventful. All three girls wore thight strapless dresses down to their knees with a fur trim at the bottom. The guys hooted and applauded in approval.
As hostess, Lily thought of it all. She glassed in the pool are with windows so they could swim, she added a fireplace to the pool section, and hung mistletoe all over the place. She made chicken sandwiches and had plenty of drinks. They had awonderful lunch by the pool. The fire was cackling softly beside them. It was then that Lily made her move. She waved her wand, quietly said "Evanesco" and cleared the lunch leftovers.
But, it was what happened next that was totally unexpected. She turned her heel and dove, head long, into the pool. She swam a few seconds and reappeared above water.
"Lily, what in God's name do you think you're doing?" James asked, totally in shock with Lily's not herself action. She smiled, dived in and swam to him. He leaned towards the edge. She popped back up and planted a long kiss right on his lips. James was in shock and caught off guard, but still returned the kiss. He was so off guard that Lily had no trouble whatsoever pulling James in with her. When he rose again, he wasn't even mad. He just kept on kissing her.
Carly and Jenny followed suit. The told Sirius and Remus to look up and they saw the mistletoe. The couples rose as they kissed. Then, without warning, Jenny and Carly, on whom Sirius and Remus placed most of the weight, allowed themselves to fall back into the pool as well. With split second timing, the swam out and Sirius and Remus lost their footing.
They spent the rest of the afternoon in the pool, not caring about their wet clothes and enjoying each others company.
The pool became a lasting ritual. Every morning, they raced each other to the pool and jumped in. They swam, got out and changed. Then they would eat lunch. After, they played a game of chess. Then. they jumped in again! And so it was every morning, noon and evening of every day.
Then came New Year's Eve. They made supper ahead of time. A few crushed eggs and handfuls of spaggehti sauce later, they and the kitchen were a mess. Lily ran from the room and fetched a sponge, dish cloth, dish towel, broom (not to fly on!), mop and duster. Once assigned an object, they got to work. Remus swept and Carly mopped after him. Sirius wiped everything down with the sponge and Jenny dusted it afterwards. As for Lily and James, they did the dishes. Lily seized every opportunity to douse James with water from the nozzle.
Later, naturally, they swam, changed and playe about 50 rounds of Clue. Remus won by 10 games to the second place, Lily. Obviously. They had the brains. When they finished, it neared 9:00p.m. The girls ran upstairs to change. They wore matching evening gowns of silver, gold and copper colors. Lily was in silver, which contrasted beautifully against her fiery red hair and vibrant green eyes. All three guys waited downstairs in full suits, ties and all.
They ate a supper by candlelight. A meal fit for a king: a great spagetthi dish with a dessert of mint, breath freshening ice cream.
Then, with a wave of her wand, Lily's living room vanished to reveal in its wake a large dance floor with beautiful music. They waltzed, salsaed, mamboed, cha-chaed and tangoed. Lily and James were terrific.
Midnight struck. Each kissed their partner and sang a chorus of Auld Lang Syne along with Dick Clark of the television Lily conjured into the room to count down with.
Then, with another wave, the dance floor, music and television disappeared and left 3 love seat sofas (two seater sofas), one per couple and they all sleeped in the living room.
A few days later, Lily and James awoke to find that their friends had left them alone in the house while they went double dating. James and Lily spent the morning playing multiple games of chess. In the afternoon, the sun had come out and, through the glass paneling, Lily changed and decided to tan a little. However, she was unsuccessful. James kept asking her to come in and, being the hostess, she was forced to oblige. In the evening, they changed; Lily into a silk, cotton candy pink baby doll and James into his boxers and a grey button up shirt.
They sat up until the others returned. Since it was the last day, they decided not to sleep that night. Instead, the girls wore jean skirts and colored cotton turtlenecks while the guys donned jeans and white cotton turtlenecks. Then, with a coat, they ran out and made snowmen and snow angels. James and Lily made the base, Sirius and Jenny, the middle and Remus and Carly, the head of the snowman. James with his charm couldn't resist the chance to add in, "An angel made by an angel!"
Then, they returned inside and sat by the fire. Lily spoke up.
"Favorite moment of the holiday break, guys?"
Sirius-the snowmen, Jenny-the snowball fight, Remus-the double dating, Carly-New Year's Eve, Lily, blushing deeply-the day alone with James, and James-their eventful Christmas afternoon. Everyone laughed. They knew what he was talking about.
"The way that dress clung." James was remembering the way she looked.
"Well, the night-well, morning- is still young-well, early, we could go swimming again.
"Sure! Great idea Lil!" Aparently, James liked that plan.
"Well," Lily spoke up, "you brought it up, and I made the offer, so you boys go first."
The three guys stood. James took off his glasses. Lily could see his eyes clearly now. After all, he only really needed them to see long distances. He could see fine right now without them.
The guys jumped in, making a lot of water splash out of the pool. The girls were half soaked before they even got in.
The girls circled the in-ground pool to where their guy was. Lily was last to jump in. then she rose from under water.
She and James stared at each other for a minute. She was taken with how good he looked; his hair wet and out of his face and not covering his eyes one which there were no glasses and she could see the depth of them clearly. His shoulders were broad and his firm abs could be seen through his wet white shirt. She also felt a very firm bottom line through his second skin fitting jeans. James was staring at Lily. Whether wet of dry, her hair was still a right red which hung away from her beautiful face. He studied her for a moment. He had his hands around her hips. The skirt seemed to have shrunk making her her hips seem much firmer which he noticed as his hand slid down he back side. Through the wet clinging shirt, he could make out every single curve in her abs and chest. He thought that she was the most beautiful thing ever seen.
They moved into each other and began to hug and kiss. The fell back wards. Then, they slowly stopped kissing and just sat in the corner, hugging, not at all bothered by the stated of their wet clothes. And so was their perfect Christmas
