Presents and Merry Easter?
~!~!~!~!~! Time past and Harry went to the ministry everyday. It was hard keeping up with his classes but he somehow managed. He could've gotten a time turner if he wanted to but he decided against that since it would make him older and older every time he used it. Harry didn't have much time for himself but he did play Quidditch. Gryffindor even managed to win quite easily against Hufflepuff the previous week.
It was finally time for the holiday break but unfortunately Harry would still have to spend at least four hours a day at the ministry. He even had to go on Christmas day. Being the minister sure was a lot of work for a sixteen year old.
Harry visited Hogsmeade in search of the perfect gifts for the ones he loved. Harry visited George and Fred's shop who gladly supplied Harry with all their latest inventions. Harry, Draco, and Fallyn never did get to prank Sirius unfortunately.
After the night with the stink bombs and firecrackers Harry decided to lay low in the pranking department. Malfoy was still a git to Harry most of the time but on occasion Harry saw a side of him that was foreign. He acted his same usual self during classes and at meals but not in the common room. Harry and Draco and Fallyn joked like old friends when they were alone in their common room.
Training was going particularly well. Draco and Fallyn had improved a lot in dueling and Harry excelled greatly in both sword-fighting and dueling. Harry decided early in the year that he wasn't continuing the D.A. They had a good DADA professor and Harry had way too much going on.
Right now Harry, Sirius and Remus were sitting in the kitchen talking about previous Christmases with the marauders.
"One time Sirius and James sent a stink box to Snape for Christmas," Remus said with a laugh.
"What's a stink box?" Harry asked.
Sirius laughed. "It is a box that looks like a chocolate box but it is actually a stink bomb kind of thing that smells a lot like vomit."
"How nice," Harry chortled but then got a little more Sirius. "Probably ruined his holiday though. Not even he deserves that."
"I tried to stop them," Lupin protested. "But they insisted."
"That reminds me of what happened several weeks ago," Harry said. "Draco, Fallyn and I were going to see you Sirius, and we saw Snape patrolling the corridors after curfew. The first time he caught us he told them to go to bed but then we saw him again. We started to run but he began to chase us."
"You ran from Snape?" Sirius asked with a joyful glint in his eye.
"Yeah," Harry laughed. "Fallyn accidentally dropped a stink bomb that went off and Malfoy dropped a firecracker that exploded soon after. The firecracker blew us back to the wall where Snape caught up to us. It turns out that Ravenclaw's common room was right where we were so they all came out and watched us. Dumbledore told us to follow him to his office."
"Oh I think I heard the Ravenclaws mentioning something about that," Lupin said.
"Harry, what were you doing with firecrackers and stink bombs while coming to see me?"
Harry turned red and smiled innocently.
"Harry, please tell me that you wanted me to help pull a prank on Snape and that you weren't going to try and do something to me. If you were I will have to get you back seriously," Sirius warned.
"In that case," Harry lied. "That is exactly what I was doing."
"Harry, what is the minister of magic doing running around after curfew with firecrackers and stink bombs?" Remus asked.
"I don't know. Can't I have fun some of the time?"
"No, you will grow up to be a greasy bitter old bat who hates the world," Sirius said sarcastically.
"Can we decorate the Christmas tree yet?" Moony asked hopefully.
"We have a Christmas tree?" Harry beamed.
"Of course Harry. I will get the ornaments," Sirius said joyfully.
They spent the afternoon together decorating the house and making cookies. Harry went to the ministry like he did everyday and he found out there was to be a party on Boxing Day for everyone who works with the ministry and all their families. When Harry got home he immediately invited his two guardians who accepted the invitation gratefully.
The next day was Christmas Eve. Harry decided to go to the ministry early so he could spend the evening with his godfather and the ghost of his dad's best friend.
Hermione and Ron visited Grimmauld place and left at around eight that evening. Harry was having the best Holiday ever because he was with the people he loved most.
On Christmas morning Harry woke up pretty early with something furry and pink patting his shoulder. Harry opened his eyes and rubbed them so he could focus and what he saw shocked him. He didn't know whether to laugh hysterically or cry.
"Sirius! What are you doing?" Harry yelled sitting up with a smirk on his face.
Harry's godfather was dressed in a pink fuzzy bunny costume with nothing but his scruffy face showing. Remus floated in the room when he heard Harry yell and snorted at the sight that was before him.
"What?" Sirius asked innocently. "I am dressed as Santa Clause. It is what the muggle children believe in. They think it gives them presents when they are sleeping. What's wrong?"
"Sirius, you have your holidays mixed up. You are dressed like the Easter bunny not Santa!" Harry laughed.
"I am afraid he's right fuzzy," Lupin grinned.
"Don't call me fuzzy!" Sirius yelled. "I didn't know but I will go change even though this is quite warm and soft but get up now Harry so we can go open presents!"
"Okay Fuzzy," Harry laughed once more getting up and pulling on a shirt.
10 minutes later the three men were sitting in the living room looking hungrily at the pile of presents under the beautifully decorated tree. Sirius had changed out of his bunny costume but he only put on a pair of tight jeans. Sirius felt comfortable walking around without his shirt on with his strong muscles showing. No one cared but Harry and Remus joked silently that Acacia would.
"Here Sirius, this one is for you," Harry said throwing his godfather a small wrapped present in gold.
Sirius opened it and didn't want to admit that he was slightly nervous about it being a gag gift. Luckily it wasn't. It was a picture of Harry, Lupin and Sirius standing outside Hogwarts. Colin Creevey took it earlier in the year and Harry asked for it and framed it in a black Labrador frame.
"Wow thanks Harry! This is perfect," Sirius said admiring the picture of his two favorite people.
Harry had a satisfied smile on his face as he handed Remus his gift. It was a beautiful gray wolf figurine that would make the motion of howling to the moon every so often.
"Harry, it's amazing! Where did you find this?" the werewolf asked.
"A good place," Harry answered simply.
"Harry this is from me," Sirius said handing Harry a little red box.
Harry opened it slowly and what he saw in it made him gasp. It was a small silver triangle with a dent on one side and a small piece sticking out of the other side. It was hooked on a necklace changed and it looked magnificent. It had one small ruby in the middle of it and a 'G' engraved under that.
"What is this Sirius?" Harry asked mesmerized by the valuable gift.
"It is something that belonged to James. He always wore it and I thought you might like it. I am not sure about the value or significance but your father never parted with it."
"It's incredible!" Harry said putting the silver chain around his neck and the triangle charm under his shirt. It didn't look like a feminine necklace or anything. It looked simple but mesmerizing.
Harry exchanged even more gifts with his godfather and Remus. He got lots of nice things from his friends and many from different order members. Harry could not remember a better Christmas and he was shocked that everything was going right for a change.
The next day was Boxing Day and the party at the ministry. Harry went and since he was the minister he had been introduced to almost everyone. He saw Ron and the other Weasleys and greeted them happily and wished them a happy Christmas. Sirius found Acacia and talked with her a bit while Remus chatted with Dumbledore. Harry got many presents from people he didn't even know. He didn't really like all the attention but that is what happens when you are the boy who lived and a 16 year old minister of magic.
Soon the day was over and the week had past. It was time for Harry to go back to Hogwarts. He was actually looking forward to summer this year so he could spend more time with his godfather and Lupin but he would cherish his Hogwarts days because they were passing faster than Harry even imagined possible.

A/N- Ooh! Sirius without a shirt! Yummy* Sorry..Did you like this chapter? I really liked it I think but I hope you all do. I just came up with a new semi plot within the plot I already have so it will probably be about 5 more chapters than I usually planned on. Maybe 27 chapters and 40 or 45,000 words. We will see I guess.
