Chapter 16: 12 Grimauld Place.
A man, with the same long black hair as Sirius, looked down his nose at Lily. His expression was stern and, although he had the same sort of features as Sirius, his face didn't radiate the same warmth and charm.
"So," he sneered, "You…are the mud blood," Lily stayed silent, "Am I correct in thinking that you are Lily Evans?"
Sirius nudged Lily,
"Uh, yeah, I mean yes," she rushed, "I am Lily Evans,"
"Sirius!" a woman with the same black hair rushed forwards, "How are you dear?"
"I…I'm fine mother," Sirius said in a confused way, "You seem in a good mood!"
"Well your father has just received a promotion; it seems some stupid fool got lost in dead space! Honestly, I suppose he just wasn't a very good wizard…"
"Mum," Sirius interrupted, but it was no use, Lily's eyes filled up with tears,
"He was a BRILLIANT wizard thank you very much! But congratulations on the…the…job!" Lily collapsed on the floor,
"Poor child, obviously very unstable," Mrs. Black whispered to her husband before she continued, "Anyway so this mad wizard who ever he may be is dead and your father got his job, isn't it brilliant Sirius!" she got no reply, "Sirius?" she looked down to see Sirius and James both hugging Lily,
Sirius looked up at his mother, his eyes were blazing with anger, "How could you be so insensitive? That man was Lily's father!" Sirius' father waved a dismissing hand before saying,
"Oh and James, you will be staying with us for the holidays, your father had urgent ministry business to attend to," he turned to the elves, "Come along now! We haven't got all day!"
"Come on Lil's, we'd better go," whispered Sirius, "Sorry that I got you into this," they got up and followed the Black's out of the station.

With the whole train station thing kind of forgotten about, Lily was having a great Christmas under the circumstances, she had been at the blacks' house (Sirius was telling the truth when he said it was all black) for a week, although she had hardly seen Sirius' parents let alone talked to them. Tomorrow was Saturday, Christmas day, the three would be going back to Hogwarts the following Sunday.
"Where are you off to Lily?" asked Sirius as Lily walked past his bedroom which he was sharing with James, "It's Christmas Eve, and no one goes to bed at 9 o'clock on Christmas Eve!"
"Well I do, my dad always said that the sooner you go to sleep the sooner Christmas will come," Lily smiled, "It was the only way to get me to go to sleep!"
"Well technically what ever time you go to sleep it doesn't make Christmas come any sooner so why bother?" he grinned at her, "Come on Lil's stay up with me and James,"
"Yeah Evans," James shrugged, "I s'pose I could put up with you," (James and Lily only ever called each other by their second name now, unless Lily was upset when James would revert back to Lil's!)
"Oh I'm easy to put up with," she laughed skipped into the room and sat herself next to the two boys who were facing each other playing wizards chess, "It's you two who are the problem!"
The night went on; James kept on losing to Sirius at chess.
"Oh my gosh!" Lily gasped, she ran around the room dramatically, hugging the boys,
"What are you doing Lil's?" Sirius slurred, they had been drinking a lot of butterbeer,
"Yeah Evans!" James laughed, "You look funny!"
"Don't you guys realise?" Lily was a bit tipsy, she sank down and hung her arms around Sirius' neck, whispering, "It's been Christmas for…" she looked on the clock and counted on her fingers, "Ten whole minutes!"
"Wow!!!" Gasped Sirius, "Christmas is here, now we can go to bed James!" the two boys started to laugh uncontrollably as they clamoured into bed.
"Yup, night night Lil's…I mean EVANS!!" James grinned broadly, "Love you! HAHAHA!"
"Yeah love you Lily!" laughed Sirius, Lily looked over to the fifteen barrels of butterbeer they had consumed,
"This was a bad idea!" she too began to laugh and meandered back towards her room, and her bed.
