A/N: Thanks for all the reviews! Hope y'all like this chapter…

Today was Friday. The day. The day we left for Christmas Break. When I say I was nervous, that is a bit of an understatement. Not only did I have to worry about James meeting my parents, I had to worry about Sirius not blowing anything up. My parents liking James were the least of my worries. Sirius, he was the big problem. I know we gave him all those rules, but I think he might have been sleeping with his eyes open because after a while he quit talking and I could have sworn that he had slobber dripping down his chin. Not only was all of this on my mind, I also had a test to worry about. I was pretty sure I would pass it, but that really is not the point.

This is why I did not get any sleep last night. This is also what led me to oversleep and almost miss breakfast. James was not very happy about waiting for me.

"Where have you been?" James asked when I entered the common room. Thanks for the 'good morning' and the 'hello' I thought, sarcastically.

"Sleeping. Where are Gwen and Eden? Why didn't they wake me up?" I asked. They'll wake me up three hours early, but not twenty minutes before I have to be there.

"They left early for breakfast," James said as we entered the Great Hall. I could not help noticing he placed extra emphasis on the word early.

"Sorry I'm late," I apologized as we sat down.

"It's ok," James said.

"So, um, where is everybody?" I asked, looking around. The hall was almost completely empty.

"Well, seeing as how classes start in—" James broke off looking at his watch, "Five minutes, I'm sure they're getting their books and heading to class."

James and I sat in silence for a couple of minutes, eating as much food as we could in two minutes.

"So you worried about our Defense Against the Dark Arts test?" I asked James as we started heading towards our first class; Charms.

"No," James said.

"Why not?" I questioned him.

"Because we don't have a Defense test. We have a Charms test," James said, glancing at me.

"What?" I gasped.

"The only test we have today is Charms," James said as we entered the class, late. I could not believe it. I had spent hours studying Defense Against the Dark Arts test.

"How nice of you to take time out of your busy schedule to join us," Professor Flitwick said as James and I took our seats side by side. Professor Flitwick's personal pet peeve is tardiness.

"No problem," James said, grinning.

I pulled out my notebook and started skimming my notes. I was not prepared for a Charms test today.

"Miss Evans, I don't think so," Professor Flitwick said, picking up my notebook and putting it on his desk, "Ten points from Gryffindor for Mr. and Mrs. Potter's tardiness and another five for Mrs. Potter's attempt at cheating." Professor Flitwick's other pet peeve is cheating. I could hear Snape snickering in the back of the room.

I think I failed my Charms test. I have never done badly on a test in that class; it is my best class. Thank goodness that since we were leaving, we only had morning classes. Because we only had morning classes, my only other class today was Defense Against the Dark Arts. I do not know how much more of this place I could take.

"Lily, I'm sure you didn't fail," James assured me on the way to Defense Against the Dark Arts; James favorite class, "You're awesome at Charms."

"Well, Lily, it was bound to happen sooner or later," Sirius said, walking up behind us.

"What do you mean?" I asked as we entered Professor Abbot's class.

"Well, everyone fails at least one test in school," Sirius said right before Professor Abbot started the lesson.

Sirius, James, and I were to eat lunch and then we, along with everyone else going home for break, were supposed to go meet the Hogwarts Express at Hogsmeade Station. Gwen was going home to her large, muggle family. Eden was going home to life as a rich only child in a pureblood wizarding family. Remus was going home to his wizarding family. Sirius could not go home to his rich, wizarding, pureblood family because he and his parents do not get along and he more or less lives with James' family during holidays. James was not going home to his rich, pureblood, wizarding family until the day after Christmas because he was going to meet my family. The day after Christmas, when he went to he and Sirius went to James' house, I was going with them.

"So, Mr. and Mrs. Hung from a pole by a pack of pixies, fell from the pole, and was run over by a pack of stampeding hippogriffs," Sirius started, "That list thing, that was a joke, right?"

"Yeah, Sirius, I spent hours and hours thinking of ways that you would ruin Christmas for everyone and writing them all down as one big long joke," James said sarcastically.

"That's what I thought," Sirius said, getting up and leaving for the common room with Gwen.

"He's joking, right?" I asked James, trying not to panic.

"So, let me get this straight, we think he's joking about him thinking we're joking, right?" James asked me.

"Is he joking or not?" I asked.

"I doubt it," James said with a sigh.

We all trooped down to the Hogsmeade Station together (Eden, Remus, Gwen, Sirius, James, and I) and got a compartment together on the Hogwart's Express. I really do not know what happened during the trip as I chose this time to catch up on my sleep. I did not wake up until Little Boy Green and Little Girl Blue decided to use me as a perch, but that was only about five minutes outside of King's Cross.

"Hey, just wanted to let you guys know," James started as we gathered our bags to leave the train, "Y'all are all invited to the family New Year's Eve party this year at my house. We can owl each other over break about the details."

"There she is, James, Sirius, we better get going," I said, pointing to my mom. Everyone exchanged goodbyes. Sirius and Gwen kissed.

"Mum!" I shouted, giving my mum a hug.

"Hey, Lils, how was the trip here?" She asked me.

"Interesting," I told her. James and Sirius were lingering awkwardly. Well, James was. Sirius had never done anything awkward in his life, "This is my boyfriend, James Potter."

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Evans," James said giving her a nervous smile.

"You, too, I've heard so much about you," My mum said, smiling.

"And this is—" I started, gesturing towards Sirius.

"Sirius Black, good to meet you," Sirius said stepping forward and giving my mum a very… er… rocky handshake.

"You, too," She said looking a bit taken aback, "Well, shall we go put your things in the car and go home?"

"Sounds good," I said.

We set off walking towards the parking lot. James and Sirius followed, looking around with their eyes open wide. They did not ask anything though, not until we were in the car, me in the front seat and them in the back. Mum started the car and I started to flip through the radio stations.

"Seatbelts, guys," My mum said as she backed out.

"Seat what?" James asked.

I gestured towards my seatbelt. They, in turn, pulled on theirs as though they doubted that it would slide out. When it did, they both got identical looks of shock on their faces.

"Now, take the metal clip and slip it into the slot," I said demonstrating.

They looked amazed that it worked. The rest of the ride home was pretty silent with mum making small talk. We then pulled up at my house, a two story white home and got down with Sirius and James in tow.

"Sorry, guys," I said as we started up the stairs, "You two have to share a room with my brother, Oliver. I don't think he's home for break yet though. I think he and Petunia get home tomorrow."

"We have to share a room? With Oliver? Who is this Oliver character? He sounds a bit shady to me," Sirius said, attempting to keep a straight face.

"He's her brother, duh," James said to Sirius.

"Hey! Don't you look at me in that tone of voice!" Sirius said.

"Ok, well, this is it," I said showing them into Oliver's room, one of our four bedrooms. It was a regular sized bedroom, painted dark blue, with bunk beds, "Someone's going to have to sleep on the floor though, but you guys can work that out with Oliver when he gets here. You guys want to go eat dinner?"

"Yeah, sure," James said and we made our way downstairs into the kitchen. Mum had made pasta.

"So, Lily, what the heck is up with all these plastic boxes?" Sirius asked pointing to the microwave, fridge, and oven. Unfortunately, mum ch0se the exact moment when Sirius said this to walk into the room. She looked at him as though she were too scared to ask why he did not know.

"This is a microwave, it is used to quickly heat food. This is a fridge, used to keep food cold. This is an oven, also used to heat food," I explained.

"Interesting," Sirius mumbled as he and James looked wildly around the kitchen with their eyes as wide as saucers.

"So, when is Oliver getting home?" I asked, turning to my mum.

"Later tonight," She said. She then left the room.

After that, we just hung around and talked while Sirius inhaled the food. I am not sure if he knew what it was, he just ate it. I do not know if he tasted it, he just ate it.

Later that night we were all in the den watching television. James and Sirius were amazed by this, it took them a while to get used to the idea of people in boxes.

"Lily!" Oliver said walking in the room and tossing me over his shoulder.

"Oliver!" I said, excitedly. I hardly ever saw my brother and missed him dearly during the school year. He and I, as we were under a year apart, were very close. "How is it going?" I asked as he put me down.

"Good and yourself? Oh and by the way who are these people?" He asked, gesturing to Sirius and James.

"Oh, this is James Potter, my boyfriend," I said. James smiled and greeted him.

"Nice to meet you… You and I have to talk later… I'm not quite sure you're up to snuff for my little sister," Oliver said causing us all to laugh.

"And this is a friend of ours, Sirius—" Once again, I was cut off by Sirius when introducing him to someone.

"Sirius Black," Sirius said giving Oliver a rough handshake, "Good to meet someone else in the business."

"Um, business?" Oliver asked, obviously confused.

"You know," Said Sirius as though it were obvious, "The business of annoying Lily, I've never met someone else in it."

"Oh, yeah, she's really easy to annoy," Oliver said.

Before I knew it, Oliver and Sirius were in a detailed conversation about the many ways they had annoyed me in the past ranging from my Sirius shadow to the time Oliver locked me out of my room.

"Well, goodnight guys, I'm going up to sleep," I said well past twelve that night.

"Night, lil sis," Oliver said.

"Night, Mrs. Potter," Sirius said.

James walked me up to my room (Sirius screamed up the stairs "I'm giving you five minutes. Don't make me come up there, young man!"). We stopped outside my doorway.

"So, you think your family likes me?" James asked, worried.

"Of course and besides it doesn't matter," I said pulling him down for a full out snogging session. We snogged in the hall for a few minutes before we broke apart.

"Well, goodnight," I said right after we pulled apart.

"Love you," James said.

"Love you, too," I said smiling at him and going into my room.

As I closed my door, I heard Sirius and Oliver burst to the top of the stairs and start throwing threats at James in a teasing way. Life could not get too much better than this. Unfortunately, it would not because Petunia was coming home tomorrow. I pushed this thought out of my head and fell into a deep sleep.
