Chapter 5



"JAMES POTTER, YOU ARE SO DEAD!" Lily shrieked.

Outside of the bathroom Jas sighed and called back to Lily, "What's he done to you?"

Lily yanked open the bathroom door and hurled a bar of soap and a bottle of shampoo out. Jas gaped at her friend. "Y-your h-hair-r! It's g-gre-en!"

"No kidding" Lily replied sarcastically. "Potter and his little gang turned my shampoo green and replaced my soap with frog-spawn soap. Yuck!"

"I guess you're starting to regret staying here for Christmas." Jas smiled.

"Nah," Lily replied returning her smile. "This is my last Christmas here"

Lily casually changed her hair back to auburn.

"I'm so excited! I mean everyone's left during the break and no more boys!"

Jas look at her strangely, "What is wrong with boys?"

"Because mistletoe should be banned. In the hands of adolescent boys, it becomes an excuse to demand kisses. This is sexual harassment, if you ask me. Plus all the wrong boys have it."

"Sorry, but um, James and Sirius are still here."

Lily shrugged, "Unfortunately, But I can deal with them."

"Well, a couple Slytherins are still here"

"What are you trying to do, huh? Ruin my Christmas spirit?" Lily questioned, whacking a pillow at Jas.

Jas ducked the pillow. "Don't do that again or else I'll tell your boyfriend!"

Lily attacked Jas with a flurry of pillow, "HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!"

"Merry Christmas Lils!"

"C'mon get up!"

Lily groaned and tried to hide under her comforter. James continued to jump on the end of her bed.

"Stop it James! You're shaking the whole bed!"

James face appeared in front of hers "Not until you get up!"

"Go away!" Lily yelled and half-heartedly flung a pillow in his direction.

"Haha missed me!"

"Lemme alone" Lily shouted vainly trying to go back to sleep.

"Nope, not till get up! It's Christmas. Here's your present!"

Lily felt a package drop on top of her.

"Go bother Jas" she wailed pushing him off her bed.

"No thanks, Sirius is doing that."

Lily yawned and rubbed her eyes.

It was sort of funny watching Jas and Sirius's antics. Apparently he had half dragged her out of bed. But Jas was clinging on to the bedpost, refusing to leave her bed.

"Sirius, let go of me! I need more sleep!"

"Merry Christmas, Jas. Get up! You don't want to spend your Christmas day in bed do you?"

Jas snatched the pitcher of water from the end table and splashed it all over him.

Sirius let go of Jas and Jas immediately dived back into bed. Sirius stood still, slightly shocked from the ice cold water.

"Jas," he whined making a puppy dog face at her. "That's not very nice" he whimpered.

Jas laughed and swatted him across the head.

"Serves you right"

Before she knew what was happening, Lily was jerked up in bed. "Hey," she protested.

James had lifted her clean out of bed.

"Stop that. Let me go!" Lily shrieked kicking her leg.

"Na ah" he replied slinging Lily over his shoulder

"Please?"

"Promise me you won't go back to bed?"

"Fine"

James plopped Lily back onto her bed. Immediately Lily turned to her present. James settled himself on Rianna's bed and opened his presents that he had brought over. He looked pleased with himself for getting Lily up.

"Hey, what's this?" James asked, unwrapping a cylinder container from Lily.

Jas finally got out of bed, looking even more pleased with herself then James had.

"I gave that idea to Lily," she announced proudly.

"Well what is it" James asked impatiently

Lily looked smugly at him. "It's muggle hair gel. You need it."

"huh?"

Jas pushed a package from her into James's arms. Frowning, James opened the package containing a hairbrush, a comb and a certificate to Zonkos.

Jas tossed the comb to Lily.

Lily started to vigorously combing James's hair.

"Hey ouch"

"Shut it Potter," Lily replied putting hair gel into his hair

"There I'm done!" Lily looked satisfactory look on.

Sirius nodded his approval, "Your hair looks actually tame, James."

"Ooo thanks James!" Lily squealed. She looked at an adorable teddy bear staring back it. Lily tossed the bear on to her pillow. She grabbed James hugged him. Sirius on the other side, was nearly cracking a rib trying to suppress his laughter seeing James turn red.

Lily quickly let him go of him and busied herself opening a package from Jas, which turned out to be strawberry printed pajama bottoms.

"Thanks Jas, Thanks James."

"Mr. Potter, Miss Evans, Mr. Black, Miss Foley, I am astonished at your behavior. Let me remind you, Mr. Potter, Miss Evans, you are head girl and head boy. Please do not forget your responsibilities. For a punishment, you will be shoveling the front walk. No magic"

"Sirius gaped, "B-but it's Christmas Day, Professor!"

Professor McGonagall glared at them over the rims of her glasses. "You should have considered that before you but laughing powder in Mr. Malfoy and Snape's goblets."

Jas gawked at her but instantly sobered at the look on the professor's face.

James trundled defeatedly toward the huge front of Hogwarts.

Lily unenthusiastically heaved a shovel of snow to one side

"C'mon cheer up y'all!" Sirius chirped, trying to lighten the mood.

"The look on Malfoy's face is definitely worth shoveling the whole world."

"Yea" James agreed, "Did you see him, his eyes got all wide and-"

"Aww shut up" Lily cut glumly

Jas hurled a snowball at Sirius's head. It bounced off his head and smacked James in the head

"Two in one" Jas shouted happily.

Sirius deftly flung one back closely followed by a snowball from James too.

"Help me, Lil!"

Lily and Jas huddled behind a mountain of snow. Lily charmed the snowballs to continuously pelt James relentlessly. Sirius stuffed a handful of snow down Jas's shirt

"Sirius Black, you are dead!" she shrieked tackling him and pushing him down into the snow and grinding snow into his face.

"Stop it all ready. I give up! You win!"

Jas got up triumphantly. Before she knew what had happened, Sirius pulled Jas back down on top of him.

"Eww you two get a room." James arrived panting breathlessly from being chased by snowballs

Jas took a handful of snow and smeared it into his face.

Sirius nodded in agreement, "I think you two should get a room instead."
