Destiny

Chapter7: Christmas at Pranksters Place

Sirius was woken up on Christmas day by Harry and Charlie arguing at the end of his bed.

"Can we open our presents now?" Charlie asked innocently

"Who says you've got presents?" Sirius asked

"We have your trying to trick us!" smiled Harry

"Let's go open them then!" Sirius yelled, as he hurtled down the stairs to the lounge "Carefully though Charlie now your arm in healed we don't want that to happen again!" he yelled back over his shoulder.

"Presents!" yelled Harry as they opened the door into the lounge.

"Yippee!" giggled Charlie Happily

The Huge Christmas tree, which was glittering away in the corner of the lounge, was surrounded with lots of multi coloured presents in all shapes and sizes. Live fairies danced around the room sprinkling glitter as they went.

Sirius passed out presents and Harry and Charlie ripped off the wrapping paper, oohing and aring at their presents for a while. Then Sirius went to answer the door when the bell rang. Remus came in from the blizzard outside. There were snowflakes in his hair and his arms were full off more presents

"Hi!" Sirius smiled "come on, we better go back into the lounge before it becomes a rubbish bin with all the paper those two are ripping up!"

"Nice decorations!" Remus smiled as they burst into the lounge. Remus passed out presents to an over excited Harry and a grinning Charlie while Sirius did a cleaning up charm on the paper. Then Sirius went into the kitchen to check on how the preparations for Christmas dinner were going.

Harry, Charlie and Sirius played with their presents for a while before lunch. Remus watched the funny scene in front of him. Sirius was acting like five-year-old and Remus thought this was the perfect time to pull out a camera and a muggle camcorder so he could have evidence.

At lunch, they all ate a lot, Sirius more than everybody else as usual. Sirius and Remus had some firewisky, which Remus knew was a bad idea from the start (when drinking firewhisky it always took Sirius less time to get drunk than usual).

Sirius as Remus thought got very drunk, so much so he was giving Harry and Charlie bareback (naked) piggy back rides. (Remus snapped away with his camera before going inside so he did not have to see Sirius naked anymore.

When finally it was bedtime an exhausted Harry, Charlie and Sirius fell straight to sleep. Remus however tidied up a little before bed.

In the morning, a very hungover Sirius was awoken by Charlie pouring water over him.

"Go away!" he moaned

"But daddy!" Charlie cried

"What!" Sirius moaned his head felt like it was splitting in two.

"Harry doesn't feel very well!" she said quietly

"One minute!" he groaned getting out of bed and pulling on his dressing gown.

He followed her to Harry's room and told her to go wake uncle Remus.

He went inside just as Harry threw up off the side off his bed.

Harry looked up at Sirius tearfully and said

"My tummy hurts!"

Remus came in followed by Charlie and he helped take Harry down stairs.

While Remus settled Harry on the sofa Sirius got a black coffee from the House elves and asked one of them to clean up Harry's room. Then he went back into the lounge and sat with Harry for a bit.

Charlie played with her new toys on the floor and Harry slept for a while.

"I hope he hasn't caught a bug!" Sirius moaned "if he has then Charlie will probably get it too and then I'll have two sick kids!"

"I think it might have something to do with these!" Remus informed Sirius, holding out a pile of empty chocolate frog wrappers he had found in Harry's bedside cabinet.

Sirius sighed with relief.

Later that day Harry felt a lot better he'd stopped being sick and had forced down a jam sandwich. He spent the evening playing with Charlie on the carpet, just like he usually did.

"For once moony I think you were right! Though he's never having a stash of any form of sweets again!" Sirius laughed

When finally Harry and Charlie were safely in bed. Sirius and Remus had some butterbeer and a chat before they separated off to bed bidding each other goodnight.

"What a Christmas!" Sirius sighed before he fell asleep.
