A/N- Hey. Here you go! Hope you enjoy. Don't forget to review.

The morning sun rose over the freshly laid snow and streamed through the partially uncovered window, shining directly on James' face. The castle was quiet, though it was Christmas. The effect of punch and the late night had knocked most of the population of Hogwarts into a deep sleep.

James stirred and opened his eyes lazily. Covering his eyes, he groped around in the semi-dark to cover the window. Freezing, he noticed some pale blue dress robes lying over a chair. Those weren't his, were they? And he didn't think Sirius or Remus had periwinkle dress robes.

May be Sirius was messing around.........

Something on the bedside table drew his attention. Lipstick? Eye shadow? Hair elastic's? Come to think of it, this room looked really different....

Suddenly, the events of late last night came rushing back to him. He was in the girl's room. In Lily's bed, to be exact. He lay back down on the bed and turned towards her.

She was so beautiful. Long red hair, emerald eyes, soft skin. He stroked her cheek hesitantly. It was so easy to lie like this, to pretend that they were married or something. That she was his.

He gazed at her, slightly in awe. She was perfect.

The shifting in one of the beds beside them showed that Ari and Remus were awake. They sat up, happy in the pure silence of their relationship. James grinned at them.

Soon Sirius stirred. Yawning, he woke Lily up with his exuberant stretching and grunting.

"Hey," Lily said shyly when James turned to her. She sat up beside him and pulled the blankets up over her knees.

"Good Morning!" Sirius said cheerfully.

"I still stand to reason that Cat is going to murder you." Ari said, grinning.

"I wanna open presents!" Sirius said childishly.

Lily rolled her eyes and snuggled down beside James. "Wait till Cat gets up," She said happily.

"Yeah, she's almost as bad as you! Once she's asleep, it takes forever to wake her up!" James chuckled.

Sirius shrugged and poked Cat's shoulder. "Wakey-Wakey!"

"Don't wake her up," Torii advised. "One, she will be totally mad at you, second, she needs her sleep. She hasn't got much sleep this week," Torii added wisely.

Lily nodded. "She's been a bit restless. This is her first good sleep since the holidays started."

Sirius poked Cat again.

"She'll kill you," Ari said in a sing-song voice.

Cat moaned and buried her head closer to her pillow.

"I dun wanna get up, Lil, I feel like crap." Cat shifted. "Tell ......mufht...... teachers I'm...sick......mirff."

Sirius grinned evilly. "It's Christmas, Kitten! Wake up!"

Cat covered her ears. "Go 'way Sirius." It obviously took her a minute to figure out what she said.

She jumped up startled. "What are you doing here?" Cat looked quite angry. Glaring, she glanced at the others, lying with their boy friends in each others arms.

"Tell me you did not spend the night in my bed," Cat hissed. She looked like she was going to attack him.

"Um.....yeah...." Sirius gave her a lop-sided grin.

Cat's lips were so pursed together in a thin line, the others though she was going to explode.

Suddenly, Sirius leaned over and kissed her long and sweetly. She fell back in pillows with a smile on her face, though she was trying to hide it.

He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her slightly to his chest.

"Why'd you have to wake me up," Cat whined.

"Presents!" Sirius said cheerfully.

"Uhrg," Cat muttered.

!#$%&()

Wrapping paper littered the room. Cat was lying across Sirius, her head on his shoulder.

Lily sat happily next to James, unwrapping the gift from him. Tossing the wrapping paper aside, she discovered a small rectangular emerald green box.

Smiling warmly at James, she took the lid off. Gasping, Lily fingered the silver chain tenderly. "James......this is way to much.......it must have cost so much! Why....." James hugged Lily close.

"Don't worry about it. And why shouldn't I dote on my girl friend?" He took the sliver bracelet out of the box and fastened it onto her wrist gently. The bracelet was a small plaque with her name, Lily, engraved on it with a small lily name of gemstones.

"The little jewels aren't even real!" James assured her.

"What? Cheap!" Sirius said, shocked.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Lis said in a rush. She reached out and hugged Ari. "Yay! I love it!" Lis said again in response to the gift Ari had given her. Ari had gotten some really nice perfume for the girls and cologne for the boys.

"Wow......these dresses are really nice Lis," Cat said appreciatively. Ari and Lily nodded in agreement. It seemed that Lis had bought each of them a dress from an expensive muggle store.

"Yeah......my mom bought them. I told her that I had a present for Torii already though," Lis said pointing to the envelope that she had given Torii. Lis was a half-blood, her mother being a muggle-born witch.

Lily remembered how Lis had been her first friend. They'd met on the train along with Ari. At the feast they were joined by Torii and they had all watched James get pushed around by his cousins, Cat and Laura. Lily remembered how cocky he had been.

"A subscription to the Hot Wizards Magazine, or what ever it's name is? Thanks Lis," Torii chuckled. "You guys should model your dresses," She suggested.

"Yeah!" Sirius agreed readily.

"Lily, you first," Lis commanded. Rolling her eyes at the boy's immediate response, Lily slowly made her way to the bathroom.

"I'm not sure......" She hesitated.

"Why?" James said. "It's just a dress!" Lily smiled and disappeared.

"Good Job Lis!" Torii congratulated. At the boys questioning looks, she added, "Lily doesn't usually wear clothes this revealing."

A few seconds later, Lily emerged. The dress was emerald green and quite tight. It fit snugly over her breasts with a tube top bodice and reached down to her mid calf.

"Nice," James said grinning. Lily blushed and sat down beside him.

Ari's turned out to be similar to Lily's, though it was looser, turquoise blue and had one strap about three fingers wide. The neck scooped down across her chest and flared slightly at the bottom.

Ari grinned widely at Remus's shocked look and settled on his lap. "Your turn Cat."

Cat groaned. "It's much too early for this."

Sirius pushed her off him. "Go!"

"You are a perv ," she muttered, but got up and went into the bathroom.

Torii sat up and rummaged around through her things. "Got it!" She said in a hushed voice and she held up a camera.

"Can't wait to see this," Ari said happily. The others grinned. They waited in anticipation as the toilet door opened and Cat stepped out. Immediately, the camera flashed and Cat glared at them.

"Pervs!" She said again. "What? I wanted it for my scrap book!" Torii protested.

Cat sauntered back to her bed. "Sit here," Sirius begged. It was true she looked gorgeous. Her new dress was sunny yellow, with two finger wide of the shoulder sleeves and the neckline dipped down between her breasts, slowing off her curves in a fluid, sweeping motion. It was also slightly shorter than the others'.

"Are you trying to show me up?" Cat demanded. Lis grinned.

"You look bootilicious, Cat," Lis assured her. "I love it," Cat admitted with a grin.

"Me too," Added Sirius. Everyone laughed.

Cat handed Sirius a thin, shaped package.

"A mirror?" Sirius inquired once he opened his present from Cat. Cat motioned to James to open his from her too. It was a mirror identical to Sirius's.

"Watch," Cat said talking the mirror from Sirius. "James Potter," She said loudly, looking at the mirror. Cat's face appeared in James's mirror, just like James's appeared in Sirius's.

"Now you guys can talk to each other when you are in detention or something," Cat explained.

"Cool!" the boys said together. "Now open yours," Sirius told Cat.

Hers from him was a tiny package, which held a small necklace. On the thin black cord hung a sliver sleeping cat figure.

Cat hugged Sirius and kissed him on the lips. "Thanks, I really love it."

Sirius slung an arm around her. "But that's not all it does! Look." He reached out an poked the small cat suddenly. Angrily, the cat swiped his hand, before settling down and beginning to wash it's self.

Cat laughed. Obviously, the cat acted like a pet cat, waking when it wants, though in a very Cat like manner.

Shyly, Lily handed James two small, neatly wrapped presents. Upon opening, James found the first one held a snitch shaped ink pot.

The other though, held a really snitch.

"To replace the one you got confiscated," Lily said shyly.

James's shocked face relaxed and he hugged her fiercely. "Thanks," he whispered. "You have no idea what this means to me."

!#$%&()

The roaring of a motorcycle broke the excited air of breakfast in the great hall. The students looked around wildly, wondering what all the commotion was about.

Suddenly, two ragged figures stumbled into the hall.

"Mike!" Cat cried and ran right down the middle of the tables and took a running leap into the man's out stretched arms.

James followed with the others trailing behind.

Cat was grinning like a maniac.

"Everyone, this is my cousin, Michael and his girl friend Neema." Cat introduced.

"So what brings you here on Christmas Day?" James asked. Mike chuckled. "I'm here on orders to take you and Catty here, back to your families for Christmas. Apparently, Aunt Edith and Aunt Helena were astounded that you choose to stay in the castle for Christmas." Mike winked. "You know how there're like."

Cat frowned. "Sorry guys.......I guess we have to leave you." She said slowly.

"Yeah....." James added.

Seeing there disappointed and sorry faces at the thought of leaving them at Hogwarts, Lily jumped in reassuringly.

"Don't worry. Just have fun," She advised.

"Thanks," James said.

The happy Christmas cheer turned into hearty good byes. Everyone understood that Cat and James didn't really have any choice.

"I'm sorry," Cat squeezed Sirius's hand. " He kissed her back. "Don't worry," He returned.

As they climbed onto the motor bike, they promised to write and to have them all visit at James's house for New Years Eve.

And thus passed a glorious Christmas. Though the new school year was soon to be spoiled.

!#$%&()

Sorry about the quick ending, I wanted to get this up! Finally!

You Rock Anna-Autumn!!
