A/N: Feedback is needed. Please, please, pleeeaaase read and review! I am also totally open to suggestions. Now, let the story begin:
Chapter One
"Get UP, Lily!" Lily slowly opened an eye and found herself staring into Clare's bright blue eyes.
"Five more minutes."
"NO! It's Christmas morning and I am NOT opening my gifts without you!" Clare pushed her straight brown hair behind her ears and shook Lily.
"I'm changing roommates first thing this afternoon." Lily muttered and rolled onto her side so her back was facing Clare.
Clare sighed deeply. "There's only one thing to do at a time like this...."
Lily caught on. "Clare, no. Please, I'm so tired, please, don't deprive me of the only sleep I-" Clare threw the covers off Lily. She instantly felt cold.
Lily sat up and pulled a sweater over her head. She looked up at Clare who was standing with her arms folded and her foot tapping.
Lily's eyes widened and she pointed to the window, "Look, someone's wrote to you!"
Just as Clare looked at the window, Lily dived in Clare's bed and snuggled up in the blankets.
Clare, realizing she'd been tricked, sigh deeply again. "Lily!" she whined, "It's Christmas morning! Where's your Christmas spirit?"
"It's hiding in a cave so no one can find it while being eaten by bats." Lily muttered, half asleep.
Clare cringed; she hated bats.
"Fine, I'll open the presents without you." Clare sat one the floor cross- legged and sniffed loudly. Lily rolled her eyes.
"Alright, alright, I'm coming." Lily rolled off the bed and onto the floor with a loud thump.
"Ow, that was painful," Lily said and crawled over to her own pile of gifts.
Clare rolled her eyes and read the card from her parents. When she finished it, she looked up a Lily, who was struggling to open up her gift.
Clare giggled and Lily turned to glare at her. "It's the wrapping paper, it doesn't seem to want to get off!" Lily said while deperatly trying to tear the wrapping paper.
"It's the present from hell!" Lily said and snatched the card off the box. Her green eyes grew wide. "It's the present from YOU!"
Clare threw back her head and laughed evilly. "What have you done to this damn present!"
"It's bewitched so YOU can't open it."
Lily stared at Clare. "Then how the hell am I going to open it?"
Clare let out an exasperated sigh and took the present from Lily. Clare prodded it with her finger and said, "Ok, you can open up now, I've had my fun." The silver wrapping instantly loosened and fell off.
Lily snatched the gift from Clare.
Inside was another box. And inside that box was another box. "You have serious issues with wrapping presents, Clare." Clare shrugged and watched as Lily finally got to the last box.
Lily held up the last box over her head. "Behold!" Lily said in a loud voice, "The present!" Lily opened the box a shreiked.
Lily ran to the bathroom and slammed the door behind her, holding the box with great care.
Clare chuckled. When Lily came out, she was wearing a beautiful necklace with an emerald 'L' as a charm on it. The next thing Clare knew, her face was filled with silky, dark, red-hair.
"Clare, I love you! Thank you so much! I love it! I love YOU!" "Agh! Ok, you're welcome! Gerroff me!" Lily broke away from the hug and laughed. "Sorry, Mini." "Don't call me Mini." Lily grinned, "Your just so damn short, Clare!" Clare glared at Lily.
Lily held out a tiny box wrapped in royal blue wrapping paper. Clare opened it and let out a shreik that matched perfectly with Lily's.
It was Lily's turn to have a face full of hair. "Oh, I love it! How can I ever repay you?! You are truly my best friend! Well, other then Tereesa..."
"Yeah, Yeah, I know." Lily said, grinning and pulling away. Lily Gave Clare a charm bracelet with a sapphire 'C' charm.
"They both have letter charms on them!" Clare said, holding her bracelet up to the necklace around Lily's neck. "Great minds think alike." Lily said and winked at Clare.
"Are you saying your mind is great, Lily?" a voice said behind them. They turned around and saw Tereesa standing in the doorway.
"Hey, Tereesa," Clare said, motioning for her to sit down with them.
Tereesa was tall, unlike Clare and Lily. Lily wasn't too short, but Clare was three inches shorter the Lily, and Lily never let Clare hear the end of it. Tereesa beautiful eyes and hair.
All three of them did. Tereesa had brown eyes and long, wavy, blonde hair.
Clare had bright blue eyes and very straight, elbow length, dark brown hair.
Lily had emerald green eyes and hair similar to Clares, except it was a wonderful shade of red.
Tereesa took a seat by her pile of presents so the three best freinds formed a circle. "Because if you're saying your mind is great, I'd have to disagree." Tereesa said playfully.
"That hurt." Lily replied while opening another present. Tereesa laughed and handed Clare and Lily presents.
"Merry Christmas, guys."
"That was NOT funny!" Remus said, drying his sandy colored hair with a towel. James and Sirius were having fits of laughter on the couch."Isn't it amusing seeing Remus scream like a girl when someone pours cold water on him while he's sleeping?" James asked Sirius,
"Oh, yes, very." Sirius was having a hard time keeping a straight face. Remus threw the towel he was using at Sirius.
"I rather spend my Christmas doing something that doen't include 'Be Prank Victim' on the day to day scheduale."
"But who else will take Snivellus' place during the holidays?" Remus glared at James, "Not one of your mates!"
Sirius nodded, "Yes, good point. Any other suggestions?"
he looked at James and Remus, "How about the girls?" James asked hopefully.
"Prongs, you just want to get close to Evans."
"That's not true!" Remus rolled his eyes and picked up his book to read.
"Well, Moony, have you got any better ideas?"
"No." Remus replied. Sirius snorted.
"Let's go outside, I bet we can find something to do." Sirius said, and James grinned.
