The next day was Christmas, and James spent most of the morning sleeping until he was rudely awoken by Sirius.
"Wake up! Wake Up!" He shouted as he shook James awake.
"Get off!" James mumbled trying to get Sirius off him.
"No! It's Christmas Day!" Sirius said shaking James even more.
James finally opened his eyes and put his glasses on. With all the excitement of last night he had quite forgotten that today was Christmas Day.
"Why didn't you say that in the first place?!" James asked and he raced Sirius down the stairs down into the sitting room.
"Where are my Mum and Dad?" James asked.
"They got called out on emergency Auror business." Sirius said, "they got an owl a few minuets ago and immediately left."
James raised his eyebrows, "it must be serious if they got called out on Christmas day." James said shrugging.
He loved his parents, but he spent so much time away from them at school it didn't bother him when they weren't at home. But lately after Lily's parents pass away he had begun to appreciate them more.
"So which ones mine?" Sirius asked sitting by the tree and handling all the presents.
"Maybe the ones that have Sirius written on them." James said sarcastically.
"Right." Sirius said and he rifled through the presents more looking for his, James rolled his eyes and went off into the kitchen and made a drink.
Lily and Emma had been up early and opened all their presents before 10am. Lily was slightly depressed at spending her first Christmas without her parents but she put and a brave face, and thought that they wouldn't want her to be miserable.
Lily went into Emma's room, Emma was sitting at her dressing table doing her hair, they were going down to Jess' house to give her their presents, then on to Laura's for Christmas dinner, and then on to James' house. Lily was most looking forward to this, she wanted to see James after last night, she couldn't stop thinking about their kiss.
"Are you ready?" Lily asked.
"No! This hair won't lie flat!" Emma said frustrated smacking her head.
"Don't do that you'll loose 1000 brain cells!" Lily said smiling and coming closed to Emma and looking at her hair. "It's not even bumpy."
"Yes it is!" Emma moaned, "I want to look good for Sirius after last night!"
Emma had told Lily what her and Sirius had got up to last night, it seem she was not the only one to have fun!
"You always look good." Lily said smirking and picking up Emma's light brown hair and doing it for her.
"Thanks." Emma said admiring her reflection once Lily had done her hair.
"No problem, " Lily said. "Now can we get going?"
"Yep." Emma said, "I'm ready."
"Good." Lily said and she apparated away to Jess' house.
They arrived and found Jess and Laura sitting in the kitchen sipping coffee.
"Merry Christmas." They both said happily.
"Merry Christmas!"
"Laura what are you doing here?" Emma asked.
"Oh my parents got called away on urgent Auror business, so I came here." Laura said.
"What's going on?" Lily asked.
"I don't know, they can't really tell me." Laura said.
"Well if your parents aren't at your house where are we going to eat?" Emma asked.
"Um…… Here?" Laura Laura said looking at Jess.
"No way, my Mum can't cook to save her life!" Jess said.
"I'll go home and tell my mum she'll have a few more for dinner." Emma said and she apparated away.
"JESS!" Someone shouted down the stairs.
Jess rolled her eyes before shouting back "WHAT?"
"MUM AND DAD HAVE GONE TO CHURCH………… SO I'M IN CHARGE!" The voice shouted back.
"NO YOUR NOT!" Jess shouted.
There was the sound of someone running down the stairs and a girl entered the kitchen.
She looked just like Jess, they had the same dark brown hair and eyes, except she was taller and older. She was Jess' older sister, Hannah.
Jess had two older sisters Hannah and Charlotte. Charlotte being the oldest, 21, she was on a trip around the world at the moment, and then Hannah 20. Lastly there was Jess, now 18, she had never really gotten on all that much with her sisters. She felt left out, they were closer to each others ages and they had more in common with each other then Jess.
Jess was and always had been, the annoying little sister. She fought with Hannah all the time, but not so much since Charlotte had gone away, and Hannah had no one else to talk to. Charlotte was more mature, but they had nothing to talk about, if they ever talked it was more polite conversation.
"Oh Hello Lily, Laura." Hannah said smiling sweetly at the two girls, it had always seemed that she preferred Jess' friends then Jess. "Emma not here?"
"Yeah, she just had to go home for a few minuets." Laura said.
"Right!" Hannah said, "anyway, Jess, mum and dad have gone out and since Charlotte isn't here I'm the oldest and in charge."
"Whatever, you know you can't control me!" Jess said looking Hannah straight in the eyes.
"I didn't say I wanted to control you, I just said I was in charge, so tell me before you go anywhere so I know where you are." Hannah said.
"Fine." Jess said rolling her eyes, she knew that if Laura and Lily weren't here she would be being a complete bitch, but because they were she was being nice.
"Good!" Hannah said, "well see you later, and Merry Christmas!" She said and she left he room, going back upstairs.
"Anyone want a drink?" Jess asked.
"No thanks." Lily said sitting down at the kitchen table opposite Laura, just then there was a pop and Emma appeared in front of them.
"So what's happening about Christmas Dinner?" Laura asked.
"Well, we can't have it at my house," Emma said sitting at the table, "Dad accidentally set fire to the kitchen!"
"What is he OK?" Jess asked worriedly.
"He's fine but the kitchens not, it is burnt to cinders!" Emma said, "looks like were not going to get fed this Christmas!"
They sat in silence for a moment, then Lily said, "we could go to James'."
"What you want to have a meal with James Potter?" Jess asked like what Lily had said couldn't be possible.
"Well yes, we are friends……….." Lily let the sentence trail off.
"Oh, your more then friends since last night." Emma said smirking.
"What?"
"Well last night me and James got a lot closer." Lily said.
"Oh do tell."
"Well." Lily said and she explained what had happened at James' Christmas Ball last night.
"I have to say Lily, well done!" Jess said after Lily had told her story.
"What do you mean well done?" Lily asked confused.
"Well, you got James Potter, the famous marauder and the boy every girl in school dreams to go out with, to chase you for about four years before you actually went out with him." Jess said like it was simple.
"Well you seem to be forgetting that for most of the time he was chasing me, I actually hated his guts." Lily said a little annoyed.
Jess just shrugged.
"Anyway." Laura said, "hadn't we better ask James if we can have dinner at his house, before we turn up?"
"Good idea, I'll go." Emma said eagerly.
"I'll come with you." Lily said, she didn't fancy staying here with Jess.
"We will see you later, O.K." Emma said and she apparated away before anyone had the chance to reply.
They arrived in James' hall way, and Emma called out "HELLO?"
"Who's that?" Sirius asked from the kitchen.
"Dunno, I'll go check." James said.
"Be careful, it might be death eaters!" Sirius said.
"I don't think Death Eaters would shout out to see if anyone was in." James said.
"Right." Sirius said, "but be careful anyway."
James smiled slightly at his friend and went into the hall where he found Lily and Emma standing. His face broke out into a surprised smile.
"Lily, Emma what are you doing here?" He asked.
"Well," Lily said, "we wanted to know if we could come here for Christmas Dinner?"
"Oh," James said, "sure, I'll tell Betty our House elf."
"That's us two Jess and Laura." Emma said.
"Sure." James said smiling.
"Thanks." Lily said kissing James on the cheek.
"I'll go and tell Jess and Laura to come…… ur… what time for?" Emma asked.
"Five should be Ok." James said not taking his eyes off Lily.
"Right, I'll be back soon." Emma said disappearing.
"So it's nice to see you." James said to Lily.
"And to see you." Lily said smiling at James.
"Sirius is in the kitchen." James said leading her through to the kitchen.
"Lily!" Sirius said getting up and hugging her.
"Oh! Hi Sirius." Lily said surprised by what he was doing.
"OI!" James said, "get off her." And he pulled Sirius away. "I think he found my dad's fire whisky!" He whispered to Lily and she smiled.
"So, what brings you to our neck of the woods?" Sirius asked.
"Well, thee things actually." Lily said, "one, I have to give you're your Christmas presents, two your food, and three James." She said giving James a mischievous smile.
"Oh right I get it, I'll just leave you two alone for a bit." Sirius said winking, and James hit him.
"Emma will be back soon." Lily said, and Sirius' face lit up as he left the room.
"So can I get you a drink?" James asked.
"Um no……….. but there is something else I want….." Lily said suggestively smiling.
"Oh I get you." James said and he slid his arms around Lily's waist and kissed her.
James savoured the kiss, he had been waiting so long for this and it was finally happening. He and Lily were a proper couple………… at last!
"So," James said "does this mean we are a proper couple now?"
"Nope!" Lily said, "I'm actually going out with Sirius….. Sorry!"
"What?!" James asked, both shocked and surprised at the same time.
Lily laughed, "I'm only joking, or course we're a real couple."
James breathed a sigh of relief, "God don't scare me like that, I was ready to go and beat up Sirius!"
Lily just smiled and kissed him again. "Your so sweet!"
The eight of them sat down to a lovely meal prepared by Betty, the Potter house elf that after noon.
"James how come your house elf is called Betty?" Laura asked.
"Well." James said pushing his plate away as he finished. "When I was younger I couldn't pronounce her name so I called her Betty, and it just stuck!"
They all laughed.
"Well James that was delicious!" Laura said patting her stomach. "Hey Remus, are you alright, you have hardly toughed your food!"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Remus said.
"Are you sure you look awfully pale." Lily said worriedly, "maybe your sick."
"No, I'm fine I just have a bit of a headache." He said, and he looked at James with wide eyes as if saying help.
"Urm………!" James said, "why don't we go and sit in the living room, it's more comfortable in there."
They got up and moved into the next room, and Remus took James aside.
"Prongs, you do know what tonight is?" Remus said.
"Of course Moony, don't worry, we'll use the wood like normal." James said, "I'll make sure Padfoot and Wormtail know."
"Good," Remus said and he went and sat down.
That night Lily and Emma stayed over so Emma's parents could clear up the kitchen, they didn't want to be roped into the cleaning up.
They stayed in the guest rooms, and Lily's was right next to James'.
It was probably around eleven, and it was a clear night with a beautiful full moon.
It was strange, she couldn't get enough of James, she just wanted to be with him. She got out of bed and crept next door.
She got into his room and went over to the bed to find it empty.
What she though, where is he. "James" she called out, but there was no reply. She walked over to the window and looked out just in time to see James Sirius and Peter run into the wood that lined the end of the garden.
Lily came away from the window and went into Emma's room, but she was asleep. She didn't want to wake her so instead she went back into her own room, picked up her wand and put on her cloak and a pair of gloves.
She went through the silent house and into the dark, silent back garden. There was an eerie silence that lay over the frost covered grass.
"What are those boys up to?" She asked herself out loud.
Meanwhile James Sirius and Peter had changed into their animal forms and were running through the wood with Moony aka Remus the werewolf.
Full moons out of school were never as fun as they were in, there was nothing near James house for them to explore, but at least there were no people around.
The four of them stopped by a small stream that ran through the wood and Padfoot had a drink.
Moony just sat there scratching himself, when he poked his nose into the air, sniffed, then howled.
James turned to Sirius, this wasn't good.
Lily walked into the wood warily, she knew she was being stupid walking into a wood in the dead of nigh alone, but she was curious.
She stood near a tree and looked around, they were no where to be found.
"I may as well go back there's no one here." She said aloud, then suddenly she heard something, a wolfs howl.
What. She thought, James can't have werewolf's in his back garden, can he?
"Well if he does I'm not going to wait around to find out." She said, and she started walking towards the house.
She walked for a few minuets when she heard something, a growling in the near distance. She stopped dead as she heard something moving slowly towards her.
She turned around and saw a fully grown werewolf standing about ten feet away from her.
She stood paralysed in fear for a second before she turned and ran screaming, and it ran after her.
Lily tried to run away, but she tripped and fell against a tree. The wolf advanced slowly on her growling. Lily tried to shout for help but her voice was gone.
Prongs and Padfoot ran after Moony as he ran through the forest, they left Wormtail behind, he was too slow.
They ran full pelt after him trying to catch him, could he really have smelt someone? Then they heard something, a scream, a girls scream, Lily's scream. Prongs put on a burst of speed and jumped on to Moony's back.
Prongs wrestled Moony to the ground with the help of Padfoot, but Moony was too strong and he threw them off.
Lily quickly scrambled up as the wolf was distracted, she would run but she could never out run it, she thought for a moment as she watched a stag and a big dog fight with the wolf. She had no time to think how strange it was that there was a stag and a dog fighting a wolf, instead she picked up her wand.
She said the first thing that came to her mind. "Stupefy." She said and the spell his the wolf, but did no damage.
"Crap." She said, that was the wrong thing to do. This angered the wolf and it kicked off the stag and deer and ran at Lily.
"Stupefy!" She shouted again, this kind of worked, the wolf stopped for a second and the dog ran and dug it's claws into the werewolf's back.
The wolf howled in pain and turned to the dog and they fought.
While this was happening the stag made it's way to Lily, and she knew what to do. She jumped on it's back and flattened her self on I as it ran towards the house.
They reached the doors of the building and Lily jumped off the stag. She looked at with amazement as it changed into her boyfriend.
"What the hell!?" Lily said.
"I haven't got time to explain." James said as he heard a dog howl in pain, " Get inside and stay there!" he said pushing her into the house, he kissed her on the cheek before turning back in to a stag and running back to the forest.
Lily just stood there looking at where James was just standing with her mouth slightly open.
He had some explaining to do!
