Here's chapter seven! Notes: I don't know if Wizards eat Godiva chocolate,
but Remus ADORES chocolate (I got that from my own personal Remus Lupin
guru, Miss Moony) so in my world they do, okay? Okay! Secondly, I don't
know for sure that Sirius likes phoenixs (and I don't know how to spell the
plural of phoenix. Phoenixes, phoenixs, phoeni? ^.^-) but again, in my
world he does! lol
Disclaimer: Do I really have to? *pouts* I don't own harry Potter...b/c if I did, I'd finish the series before I made the movies so my fans wouldn't have to wait so long between books...*eye twitch*

Chapter Seven
~Sirius' Journal~ ~December 23~
{Staying at James' house for Christmas break, but I might go back to Hogwarts early...I miss Remus...}
"Are you sure you want to go, Sirius?" Mrs. Potter asked in a motherly sort of way. "You know you can stay here as long as you want!"
Sirius smiled at her affectionately. "Thanks Mrs. Potter, but I have loads of homework to do, you know with N.E.W.T.S and all."
"Oh, well, at least take some gingerbread cookies for you and Remus." She handed him a large bundle of cookies.Sirius smiled his thanks at her and pulled her into a hug.
James came into the kitchen, Lily on his arm. "Well, sorry you have to go Padfoot. Christmas will be wierd without you."
Sirius smiled at James. "You'll get over it! I wouldn't want to get in yours and Lily's way." He winked at Lily.
"Sirius, you wouldn't be in our way!" Lily exclaimed.
"Call me Padfoot, Lily. You're an honorary Marauder now!" Sirius chided. "Besides, we can't let poor Moony be stuck all alone with Wormtail on Christmas, now can we?"
James laughed. "You're right! But you should bring him over here, if you can talk him into it!"
"I'll try, but just in case I can't, Merry Christmas," he said, handing James and Lily each a small box. inside was a small pendant, James' of a stag, and Lily's of a flower, made out of sparkling silver. He smiled as they oohed and aahed over thier gifts, and silently exited the Potter household.

~December 24/25~
Remus woke up early on Christmas morning, unsure why. He groaned and looked at his clock. 11:59. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, he staggered out of bed, pulling on a too short robe over his striped pajamas, and walked downstairs into the common room. It was quiet, since most of the other students were still sleeping soundly.
"Merry Christmas, Moony!" Remus nearly jumped out of his skin. He let out a strangled yell, and turned a 360, trying to find whoever called his name.
Sirius, who had been sitting in one of the poufy armchairs, laughed. "Twitchy, eh?"
"Padfoot, you scared me half to death! What are you doing here?"
"Nice to see you to!" Sirius pouted.
"Sorry. Nice to see you, Padfoot. What are you doing here? I thought you were at Prongs' house!" Remus said, sitting on the floor in front of Sirius.
"Nah, I left. He and Lily needed to be alone without me tagging along like a fifth wheel. Besides, I thought you'd like some company on Christmas."
Remus smiled. "Thanks Padfoot."
"You're welcome. Now are you going to open your present or not?" Sirius tossed Remus a small box, wrapped carefully in gold paper. Remus teared away at the beautiful wrapping, and opened it. Inside was a box of hand made Godiva truffles, and a silver pawprint pendant that had the initials R.L and S.B. engraved on it. He gasped, because he knew Sirius didn't have alot of money to spend now that he was living on his own, and neither of these gifts were cheap. "That's not all, Remus." Sirius lowered himself onto the floor next to Remus, and smiled at him. He kissed him, and Remus didn't pull away.
Sirius smiled at Remus again. "Now, was that so bad?"
"No..." Remus said, avoiding Sirius' eyes.
"What's wrong?" Sirius asked.
"It's just...I don't know...what happens if James and everybody finds out?" Remus answered, sighing.
Sirius looked at Remus, studying him. "Does it really matter if others know?"
"No...well, maybe. It's just that, I'm a werewolf, and now I am in love with a guy...I don't know..." Remus played with a piece of string. "I just never thought that I would end up like this, you know?" He turned to Sirius, who was so close that Remus could have counted his eyelashes.
"You love me?" Sirius whispered.
Remus nodded. "Yes," he said quietly.
"Then that's all that matters. Screw what everyone else thinks. I love you, Remus, and you know me well enough to know that I don't say that very often." Sirius pulled Remus against him, resting his chin on Remus' head. "As long as we are in love, that's all that matters in this world."
"You really think so?"
"Of course. I don't care about what evryone else thinks."
"That's easy for you to say. You're the gorgeous Sirius Black. Every girl wants to be with you, every guy wants to be you. But me? I'm just geeky Remus Lupin, the prefect. Plus, I'm a werewolf."
Sirius pushed Remus up so that he could look him in the eye. "Bite me."
"What?" Remus asked puzzled.
"You heard me. Bite me. That way I can be a werewolf too."
Remus stared at Sirius. "Of course I'm not going to bite you, are you insane?"
"Yes," Sirius smirked. "I want you to be happy, Moony. Even if that means I have to become a werewolf."
Remus sat dumbstruck. "That wouldn't make me happy..."
"What would then?"
A few seconds passed during which Remus sat looking thoughtful. "Kiss me."
"With pleasure," Sirius laughed, kissing Remus again. "You said I could have any girl I wanted, but did I pick any of them? No. I picked you."
"You picked me." Remus smiled, snuggling up against him. "I guess you're right."
"I won't go broadcasting this all over the school, okay? Just for you..." Sirius said, closing his eyes.
Remus smiled happily. "You never asked for your present!" He gave Sirius a large box, inside which was a large photo album, filled with wizard photographs of the Marauders together. one page, though contained only two people. Remus and Sirius, a picture of them for each year they had known each other. There were also beautifully framed pictures of phoenixes, which were Sirius' favorite animals, besides dogs. Also down at the very bottom of the box was a bag of doggie treats and a squeaky toy.
Sirius lifted out the dog treats and the squeaky toy, and laughed. "Thanks Moony. I love them, really!"
" I knew you would! I figured you could use an incentive to start studying in class!" Remus chuckled. Then he kissed him, his tongue just barely touching Sirius'. "Merry Christmas, Padfoot."
"Merry Christmas, Moony." Sirius smiled, eyes slowly closing as he and remus sat in front of the slowly dying fire.

Awww! Wasn't that great? really? I thought so. You should review and tell me all you thought about it! ^-^ Anywho, I just realized that Remus and Sirius kiss alot...*ponders* Ah well, they can kiss all they want! *smooches* heehee. Love ya'll.
