Chapter ten: Christmas Day
"IT'S CHRISTMAS!" the girls heard Sirius from the doorway of their dorm.
"Come on you three lovelies get up." James said, shaking Lily to try and wake her up
"Go away." Lily mumbled into her pillow
"Brie darling, get up!" Sirius said, while trying to pull her out of bed
"Sirius, we went to sleep last night at 12:00. I think I deserve just a few more minutes with my pillow." Brie yawned and once again collapsed on her bed
"Jen honey, wake up." Remus cooed, into her ear
"Hold the phone," Jennifer said," How the heck did you three get up here, it's like boy proof."
"Ah boy proof, but not marauder proof." James declared, causing Brie to fall out off her bed with laughter
"So you're saying the marauders aren't boys." Brie stuttered while having a laugh attack
When James realized how Brie might have got that he shook his head.
"No, that's not what we mean." James said
"Right, we mean a regular boy couldn't get up here." Remus stated
"Yeah, so get up, the lot of yah." Sirius declared
"Fine, don't get your boxers in a bunch." Brie declared, causing the other two girls to laugh
"That's it." Sirius stated, and he pushed Brie out the door before he could even change, and since she didn't change, neither did the other two girls
When all six of them got down to the common room they gathered around the fire, and presents.
"Who wants to go first?" Lily asked
"Me!" Sirius yelled, and dove toward his presents, the first one he picked was Brie's. (even though Brie didn't like him on Christmas eve, she always bought the marauders present so this year was no exception.)
Brie had gotten Sirius a humungous box of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans. This made Sirius very happy seeing as he was the sweet tooth of the bunch. He immediately ran over to Brie and tackled her in a hug.
"Air, I need air!" Brie struggled, and finally let go
"Thanks Brie." Sirius said, giving her a kiss on the cheek
"Your welcome." Brie said returning the kiss
"Alright, I'll go next." Remus said, getting up more calmer than Sirius did, because he's not a idiot. The first one he picked was Jennifer's.
Jennifer had gotten Remus a book titled in real golden letters: A Sorcerer's Guide to Every Spell. Remus, being Remus, was overjoyed he immediately gave Jennifer a great big kiss on the lips.
"My turn." James declared, a he reached forward since he was right next to the presents, and grabbed Lily's
It was an invisibility cloak. James was shocked, seeing as the invisibility cloaks are as rare as they come. He threw his arms around Lily and kissed her lips.
"Thanks." James said
"Well, I figured it would come in handy on your mischievous missions." Lily stated, and James looked her in the face and then at the other marauders, who nodded
"Lily you know when you saw us coming back to the dorm that Hogsmeade morning?" James asked
"Yeah." Lily answered
"Well, it was a full moon right." James stated
"Right." Lily replied
"Well, we had been to the shrieking shack with Remus, because he's a werewolf." James finished
Jennifer looked at Remus' eyes.
"I knew it." Jennifer exclaimed
"I remember reading a book about werewolves. There is a certain silver tint to their eyes." Jennifer continued
"You're not freaked out." Remus said, confused
"Of course not, I have liked you for as long as when I first meet you, and if I were to ignore you because of something you can't help, well that would be wrong!" Jennifer explained
"Well now that, that's cleared up what does it have to do with you and Sirius?" Lily asked
"Well, we're unregistered animagi." James exclaimed
"What animals are you?" Brie asked
:" I'm a black dog, and Prongs is a stag." Sirius replied
"Hence the nicknames, Prongs, Padfoot, and Moony." James concluded
"That's cool, but why did you want to tell us?" Jennifer asked
"We want you three to join us every full moon." James exclaimed
"But what about Remus?" Lily asked
"That's where Jen comes in, she is going to be a wolf. Wolves are the only living things that can calm a werewolf down. If she were to become a werewolf, Remus would take that as a threat and attack her." Sirius said
"Your head can contain that much information." Brie said, astonished, causing Sirius to snuggle up to her.
"So what would we be?" Lily asked
"Well, we've worked out that you three will be known as the Maraudettes. Is that cool?" asked James
"Sure." Lily answered
"And since we knew what Jen will be we've already found her a nickname. Midnight." Remus stated proudly
"Cool." Jennifer said
"So what will we be?" asked Lily
"Well, we want you to be a unicorn. The known soul mate of a stag." James replied
"Cool." Lily responded
"And your nickname could be Silverhorn." James stated happily
"Okay." Lily said
"Now for Brie." Sirius said
"Well a dogs soul mate is another dog." Lily said
"So Brie's going to be a dog." James declared
"Let's go for a white dog." Lily stated, "Since Sirius is a black dog."
"White dog it is." Brie stated
"Now for your nickname." Jennifer said
"How about snowflake." Sirius stated
"Works for me." Brie stated
"Alright so you're the Marauders: Prongs, Padfoot, and Moony, and we're the Maraudettes: Silverhorn, Snowflake, and Midnight." Lily said
"Yup." James said
"Cool." Brie said
"This means that you three also have to help with our pranks. Are you up for the challenge of not being caught?" Sirius asked
The three huddled for a moment and when they were done they all said, at the exact same time." Heck Yeah!"
"IT'S CHRISTMAS!" the girls heard Sirius from the doorway of their dorm.
