Run Away Werewolf

Chapter 9:

Letter, Mistletoe, and Love! Oh My!! (Part 2)

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

They all gathered around the tree, while Remus un-shrank his record player and it started to play Christmas music.

"Nice touch Moony," said James picking up a present and throwing it at Sirius. It hit him his stomach. He let out a grunt of pain.

"Ow, what was that for James?"

"What? It's for you," Sirius instantly started to tare apart the present.

After a while, Rose had opened all her presents; except for Remus's because he wanted her to open it last. Beth made her a photo album, Sirius gave her a box of random candy, Peter gave her a stationary set with a wax seal that had a crescent moon and the letter 'R', Lilly gave her a few jars off different color ink and some quill pens, and James gave her a book about Potions (her favorite subject).

"Here," said Remus giving her a little box, "Open this one first." Rose opened it and saw a heart shaped locket. The locket and the chain were gold. It was a simple heart, she turned it over. It said, 'To R. I'll love you forever. From R". Remus handed her a letter.

Dear Rose,

Happy Christmas! There is something I have to tell you. From the moment I saw you (well, maybe not the exact moment), I knew something would happen between us. I don't know really what to write, I actually should say this to you right now, but I wanted to say that I love you.

Love,

Remus

She looked up to were Remus was sitting, jumped on his lap and started to kiss him. Remus started to fall back from being jumped on, but he still kissed her back with just as much passion.

"Oooo, snog fest. Can I join?" They came apart to see Sirius laying next to them, his face a little to close to them. Rose shrieked and moved off of Remus. Beth smacked Sirius's head. Remus looked at her and said;

"You haven't opened the locket." She quickly grabbed the locket and opened it. The picture expanded a little bit so that is was a small rectangle, but u could still see the picture clearly. The picture was Remus and her, smiling and Remus occasionally gave her a peck on the cheek until Rose grabbed the nape of his neck and pulled him into a kiss on the lips. Rose remembered when they took this picture in Hogsmead (sp?). She smiled and look at Remus.

"Thank you," She got close to his ear and whispered, "I love you with all my heart." She gave him a short kiss but passion filled kiss, then half shouted, "Time for breakfast!"

On the way to breakfast, their paths crossed with Peeves who hung mistletoes all over their head. But hey, who doesn't like a morning snog?
