It had finally reached December 1st and Lily and James got called up to Professor Dumbledore's office on head business, to discuss the planning of the Christmas Ball.

"I think it should be a costume ball, and we can have our own Santa and Mrs. Clause, it would be a really big laugh!" Lily said with a smile.

"Not a bad idea Miss Evans, but who would play the part of Mr. and Mrs. Clause?" Dumbledore asked.

"How about the head boy and girl?" James suggested.

"How about no!" Lily said back.

"Well, we should get 7th years to do it, as the oldest students in the school!" James said.

"I agree Mr. Potter, but the question still lingers on who the two lucky students will be." Dumbledore said.

"I think it should be one of the Marauders" Lily said.

"And why do you think that?" Dumbledore said.

"Because it would be even more fun then!" James said with a laugh.

"Ok then, but which one?" Dumbledore said and James smiled even more.

"How about Sirius?" Lily said.

"Sirius, really?" James said.

"Yeah, he's hyperactive, funny, giving." Lily said and James leaned close to her and whispered in her ear.

"Yeah and it will annoy Bellatrix and Regulus!" James said and Lily stiffened a giggle, just seeing Regulus' face when Sirius came out in a Santa costume.

"So we've decided then, Mister Black is Santa. Now who could be his wife?" Dumbledore said.

"Well it needs to be someone who's loving, caring and a great laugh, oh and willing to wear big Christmas tree earrings to!" Lily said and James leaned back in his chair in deep thought, after a few minutes Dumbledore spoke,

"Miss Evans, how about you?" Dumbledore said and James bolted up in his chair.

"Me?" Lily said in disbelief.

"Well, you fit the description that you just said." Dumbledore said.

"I don't know." Lily said unsure of what she wanted to do.

"It's completely up to you." Dumbledore said and James looked like he was going to throw up.

"Ok I'll do it." Lily said.

"Right then, it's agreed, a costume ball with Mister Black as Santa and Miss Evans as his lovely wife." Dumbledore said with his eyes shining, picturing what the ball would be like in his mind.

"Ok then I'll go and tell Sirius." Lily said getting up off her seat, as did James.

"Yeah me to!" James said.

"Bye Professor!" James and Lily said and then they walked out of the door.

"Right, um, I think that dinner's still on, so let's go down and see if he's there." James said quietly.

"Ok, listen Potter. You think it's a good idea, don't you?" Lily asked.

"What's a good idea?" James said, clueless.

"Me being Mrs. Clause with Sirius." Lily said.

"Why should I have a problem with it?" James said coldly.

"Why do you have to be so hard?" Lily said her voice rising.

"Me be so hard?" James said.

"YEAH, YOU!" Lily screamed and ran off to the Great Hall.

"Brilliant…just brilliant!" James thought and walked to the Great Hall behind Lily.

When he got to the Great Hall he saw Lily just about to sit down next to Sirius, he saw Remus sitting near Sirius with Peter and Louise by his side so he decided to sit next to Remus, as Lily was sitting with Sirius.

"Hi Moony, Wormtail, Figg." James said sitting between Peter and Remus.

"Potter." Louise said simply.

"Hi James, I've got to talk to you after dinner, Professor Smith has cancelled potions this afternoon, he had to go to the Hospital wing, apparently he had a accident with the first years and he's got boils all over his body now!" Remus said and James laughed.

"What do you need to talk to me for?" James asked.

"You'll find out when I tell you." Remus said and James took one more longing look at Lily, which Remus saw, and then started eating his dinner.

On the other side of Peter, Lily was talking to Sirius about the meeting with her, James and Dumbledore had just had.

"So will you do it?" Lily asked hopefully.

"Well it all depends, whose Mrs. Clause?" Sirius asked.

"Me." Lily said simply.

"Ok, I'll do it." Sirius said and Lily gave him a hug.

"Thanks Sirius, it's gonna be great!" Lily said.

"Yeah!" Sirius said, "But wait!" 

"What?" Lily asked.

"What did James think of the idea?" Sirius said knowing James wouldn't be ecstatic that he was going to be fake married to his crush for the night.

"I think he's fine with it." Lily said.

"What do you mean by 'think'?" Sirius asked.

"Why, when I asked him if he was alright with it he just flipped out!" Lily said.

"Oh!" Sirius said now feeling really guilty.

"I know, I just asked him a simple question and he blows up in my face!" Lily said.

"Hum." Sirius said, not able to speak but stared at James who was sneaking peeks at Lily when she wasn't looking, which made him feel even guiltier.

"Right. Well I've got to go and finish off some homework in the library, I'll see you later Sirius." Lily said getting up.

"Yeah see you, Lils." Sirius said and Lily said goodbye to Louise, Peter and Remus, completely forgetting James who was sitting there, which made him scowl.

"Yeah, we definitely need to talk!" Remus said to James once Lily had gone.
