"So then I was thinking about how we could just jump out of the massive present and chuck loads of gifts at people" Sirius suggested to Lily.

"Sirius no offence but that is the stupidest thing that I think I've ever heard!" Lily said, the pair were discussing how they would have their big entrance as Mr. and Mrs. Clause.

"Well how about you giving some brilliant ideas then Lils?" Sirius said and Lily smiled.

"Oh I will do…when I think of some!" Lily said and shuffled about in her chair trying to find a comfortable spot.

"See its not easy is it!" Sirius said and Lily smiled.

"Sirius I didn't say it was!" Lily said and Sirius sighed and looked at his watch, it read 10:45 pm.

Sorry Lils but I'm really tired, and ive got to be up early tomorrow for Qudditch practice, so ill see you tomorrow" Sirius said getting up off his seat and giving Lily and good night hug.

"Okay ill talk to you tomorrow" Lily said and started packing up all the Parchments that Sirius and Lily had been using to jot down ideas for the Christmas ball.

When Sirius got into his dorm he saw every boy in the dorm fast asleep except from Remus.

"What's up buddy…you're normally the first one to hit the pillow?" Sirius asked and Remus sighed, Sirius sat on the edge of Remus' bed and asked Remus again what was wrong.

"Its Prongs" Remus answered.

"What's wrong with him" Sirius asked with a little worry in his voice.

"Haven't you noticed the way he's been acting lately…especially towards Lily?" Remus asked and Sirius shook his head.

"He's acting like the way he's always acted" Sirius said.

"I don't think he has…like last year all he cared about was getting back at Snape and trying to get Lily to go out with him" Remus said and Sirius shook his head but didn't really understand,

"Yeah…and?" Sirius said and Remus continued.

"Well this year haven't you noticed that he hasn't asked Lily out once…and that he's not going round the castle acting like he owns it?" Remus asked and Sirius nodded.

"Well I have noticed that he's not acting like he owns the place…but I think that's because he's Head Boy now, he has responsibilities I guess" Sirius said shrugging his shoulders.

" Sirius don't you get it…James is in love with Lily" Remus said and Sirius' face went blank.

"Come on Remus, yeah maybe he likes her, but love, that's coming on a bit strong isn't it?" Sirius said and Remus shook his head.

"No Sirius, the guy is head over heals" Remus said and Sirius looked like he was going to faint.

"You mean to say our Jamie is growing up?" Sirius said and Remus smiled.

"I guess so…there is another thing a need to ask you" Remus said and Sirius looked worried again.

"Don't worry Sirius its nothing to be worried about, I was wondering if you would swap with James to be Santa for the dance?" Remus said and Sirius sighed.

"Hmm, well I guess so, if that'll make him happy" Sirius said.

"Are you sure you're alright with it, you don't have to do it you know?" Remus asked and Sirius shook his head.

"No im alright with it, I think its better any way, gives me more chance to flirt with the gals at the ball" Sirius said with a smile and Remus laughed.

"Right I'm gonna go to bed now, I'll see you in the morning, night Remus" Sirius said jumping off Remus' bed and jumping into his own.

"Night mate" Remus said lying down on his pillow and slowly drifting off to sleep.

"OI BLACK GET YOUR ASS OUT OFF BED NOW…QUDDITCH PRACTICE IN 10 MINUTES, I WANT YOU DOWN ON THAT PITCH AND READY BY THEN!" James shouted at Sirius at 7:30 in the morning, waking up the rest of the lads in the dorm except for Sirius.

"Cheers James, now we've got you around to wake us up we don't have to hire the birdie thing to do it" Frank said and James smiled.

"Yeah…Sirius come on" James said pulling Sirius out of the bed and Sirius woke up.

"Fine, fine I'm up now, lets get it over and done with before I fall back to sleep" Sirius said and then remembered what Remus told him last night.

"And James I have to talk to you alone for a bit before practice" Sirius said getting up and walking into the bathroom.

"Do you know what he wants to talk about?" James asked Remus who was still lying In bed.

"Nope no idea" Remus said and James walked away down to the Qudditch pitch.

When Sirius got down to the pitch all the rest of the team were already there, all looking very tired, Sirius walked up to James and asked him to walked over to the changing room with him, because he needed to talk to him.

"Sirius what's wrong?" James asked and Sirius sighed (he seems to be doing that a lot lately lol)

"James I want you to be Santa for the Ball" Sirius said and James looked stunned.

"No Sirius you got picked, you should do it!" James argued.

"James I don't want to do it…so I'm letting you!" Sirius said back.

"Does Lily know?" James said and Sirius shook his head.

"No keep it a secret until the Ball" Sirius said.

"Are you sure?" James said with a smile.

"Yup" Sirius said and gave James a hug.

"Cheers mate" James said hugging Sirius back.

"But if you don't get her by the end of the night I'm gonna have to come after you!" Sirius said with a smile, which James returned.
