If You're Not The One

Chapter Six: A Pleasant Surprise

-----------------------------------------

It was the last Hogsmede weekend before Christmas holidays. Sirius had gotten an owl from his father saying that he should come home for the holidays, so he was bummed that he couldn't go to Remus' for the holidays like they had first planned. So instead they decided to make their Hogsmede weekend extra special.

The snow was falling in big fluffy flakes, instantly coating the students in white. The air had a bit of a nip to it, but it was still beautiful weather. Not that that mattered to Sirius as he kept Remus close to him as if trying to keep him warm. Remus didn't mind in the least, as he kept close to his boyfriend. He wanted to make all he could of this day they had together. As of tomorrow they would be leaving for home, and not being able to see Sirius till New Years would be maddening.

They stood staring at the Shrieking Shack, Remus resting his head against Sirius' chest as the ebony haired teen held him in his strong arms. Sirius smiled as he felt his sandy haired boyfriend nuzzle his cheek against his chest. Sometimes Remus was just too adorable for words. Impulsively, Sirius kissed Remus on his head, and gave him an extra squeeze.

"C'mon, let's go grab a Butterbeer," Sirius said when Remus looked up at him.

Remus nodded, and followed Sirius back up the path to Hogsmede hand in hand. Remus stared at the back of his boyfriends head as they walked along the street, pondering. Sirius had promised him a surprise but wouldn't give him any hints, so Remus was wracking his brain about trying to figure out what Sirius could have up his sleeve. But as it was Sirius... it could be anything.

Sirius led them into the Three Broomsticks, and greeted Madam Rosmerta with his famous grin.

"Ah, you're here finally," Rosmerta said spying two of her most loved customers. "Right this way."

"Sirius...?" Remus asked eyeing his boyfriend as they followed Madam Rosmerta to the back of the Three Broomsticks. Sirius merely flashed Remus a smile.

Remus took one look at the spot Madam Rosmerta set up for them, and gasped. The table sat next to the fireplace and was covered with a beautiful Christmas tablecloth. In the center was a candle that Remus noticed smelled faintly of spiced apple cider. On the wall beside the table were little fairie lights that formed a heart, and glowed a pale blue.

"Merry Christmas Moony," Sirius whispered in his boyfriend's ear, pressing up against the werewolf as Madam Rosmerta left them.

"Oh Sirius..." Remus murmured, amazed. He turned in his boyfriends arms and hugged him hard. "This is wonderful!"

"Glad you like it," Sirius said sincerely, grinning from ear to ear. "C'mon lets eat."

Pulling Remus' chair out for him, Sirius discreetly nodded at Madam Rosmerta and instantly two wonderfully smelling dishes appeared on the table with butterbeer. Remus beamed at Sirius as he sat down across form himself.

"You did all this for me?" Remus asked after they finished their delicious meal, including a slice of apple pie they shared.

"Just a little something I cooked up," Sirius said modestly.

"It's all so wonderful..."

"Hey Moony..." Sirius whispered pointing above them.

Remus looked up to see a bit of mistletoe hanging over their table. That definitely hadn't been there when they sat down. Remus smiled anyway, and leant across the table to kiss his boyfriend. This was definitely the best day he had ever had.

"Wow... my present for you doesn't even compare to this," Remus said blushing a bit.

"Don't be silly Remy. Just having you with me is good enough a present for me," Sirius said honestly as he stared into the golden eyes that he adored so much, watching as the flames from the fire danced in them.

To help hide his deepening blush, Remus reached inside his robes and brought out a perfectly wrapped Christmas gift, bow and all. Sirius arched an eyebrow at the gift. He knew Remus could do a good job at wrapping things, but this went way beyond that. He felt like he was doing something criminal as he untied the red silk bow. The precision, and care it was done with showed. Peeling away the golden wrap, Sirius revealed sheets of blank music paper. He looked up at the sandy haired teen with a wordless expression.

"I remembered the songs you had, the music on one piece of parchment and the lyrics on another. I thought maybe you'd like these so you can keep them all together." Remus reached over and pointed to the lines where the music notes went. "The salesman said that if you tap the treble clef twice with your wand it'll play back what you've written, and you can write the lyrics underneath."

Sirius was still speechless. He had actually forgotten that he had shown Remus his music, and the sheets he was now holding were so professional looking. They must have cost a fortune, something he knew Remus didn't quite have.

"Do... you like them?" Remus asked tentatively when Sirius didn't say anything.

"Of course I do!" Sirius said breaking out of his thoughts. "How could I not? I've been dreaming about getting something like this! Dad said I didn't need them since I had regular parchment to use." Remus smiled, relief washing over his face. "This is the best gift I ever got!"

"You mean besides you're guitar."

"Are you kidding? This is even better. I could always borrow one. These you can't get easily. How'd you get them anyway?"

"That's my little secret," Remus said winking playfully at his boyfriend.

Elated, Sirius leant across the table and kissed Remus long and hard. Breathless they pulled apart, and smiled at each other as Sirius tucked away his gift. Sirius would have stayed staring happily at his boyfriend if he hadn't caught sight of a familiar mop of messy black hair accompanied by a flash of bright red hair.

"I don't believe it," Sirius said, his jaw dropping in shock.

"What?" Remus asked confused.

Sirius pointed across the room. Remus turned and looked in the direction Sirius pointed, and had to blink several times to make sure he was really seeing what he was seeing. At another table sat James Potter, and Lily Evans. Together. And they were smiling, and laughing. Grabbing Remus' hand, Sirius left money for Madam Rosmerta and headed to James' table.

"Well, well well fancy seeing you two here," Sirius said smirking as they stopped in front of their table.

"Hey guys," James said smiling, not the least bit perturbed.

"Didn't expect to see you here Lily," Remus said smiling kindly at her. "Especially with James."

"Yes... well... neither did I," Lily said smiling nervously.

"Geez Prongs, if I wasn't seeing it I wouldn't have believed it," Sirius said clapping his friend on the back. "You finally got the girl."

"I told you I would!" James said proudly, as if there had never been a doubt in his mind, making Lily turn the colour of her hair.

-------------------------

"I'll see you for New Years alright?" Sirius said as he finished hugging Remus.

Remus nodded not trusting his voice, afraid he might burst into tears and he certainly didn't want that even though he could feel the tears pricking at the corner of his eyes.

"It'll go by real quick, you'll see," Sirius assured him, though his stormy eyes were filled with sadness.

Sirius kissed Remus' lips softly before whispering 'good-bye' and headed off Platform 9 3/4 onto King's Cross, leaving Remus to watch him disappear into the crowd.
