A/N- I just finished HBP(Saturday July 16th at 11:32pm). It was very good but honestly, this book is not written by our known and loved Author J.K Rowling. This book seems like a book fit the please the readers with all that happens. She made this book with all the things we've been wishing to and never thought would happen, this is not our JK! This is not the woman who killed Sirius! A rating out of ten, all and all I give it a 7. It's lucky I didn't go for a 5 or 6. If there are any HBP spoliers, I will mention them in Author's Notes before the chapter starts. If I do use HPB spoliers, they will be very minor and you could continue reading HBP without the book being ruined.

Chapter Seventeen- Christmas Surprises

December 25 3:57am

Christmas came quicker than expected. Normally, there were only the Marauders, Lily, Tammy and Mary-Elle who stayed of Gryffindor durning the Christmas holidays but since the Yule Ball had shown great interest, practically all of Gryffindor was staying. Plus, Julianna was here now and she would also be staying over the Christmas break.

'Hey' Julianna said, as came down the stairs to the common room the next morning

James, having slept in his old dorm with Lily, was up reading in the common room. He was startled when Julianna has spoke, 'Oh good morning.'

'Oh. How come you're up so early?'

'Well, unless you sleep like the dead, it's really hard to sleep with Sirius snoring.' James stated.

Julianna chuckled, 'Yes, Tammy's told me that. So did you get everything you want to give Lily for Christmas?'

'Yup. I've already got one thing for her. I got her this necklace with a white gold heart locket with and "L" engraved on it.'

'Aw. That's so sweet.'

'Yeah, but I want to get her more. I'm not sure what else I can do for her though.'

'Isn't a little late to be wanting to get her more? I mean, today is Christmas.'

'I know. I just wish I could get her more.'

Julianna thought for a minute before saying, 'How about you write her a song.'

James snorted.

'What's wrong with writing a song? It's a great way to express the way you feel about someone.'

'There's nothing wrong with it. It's just...I can't write songs. I don't know how and even if I did, they wouldn't be any good.'

'Oh come on anyone can write a song. Here I'll help you. Now. Close your eyes.'

'Julia I really-'

'James, just close your eyes and think. Think. Think about Lily. Think hard.'

He thought hard.

'Good. In one word, how would you describe your relationship? Better yet fill in this blank for me, "Honey you are a, Upon which I stand."'

'Rock. Wait no, she really isn't a rock but then again...'

'Never mind, it sounds good. Now say that whole line with the blank filled in.' Julianna said.

'Honey you are a rock Upon which I stand.' James replied.'

'And I come here to talk I hope you understand.'

'That's good.' James said.

'Now, close your eyes again and without opening your eyes, I want you to tell me the first thing you think of when you think of Lily.'

'Her eyes.'

'Good. Now here I'll start you off. "Those Green eyes..."'.

'...Yeah the spotlight shines upon you,... And how could... anybody... deny you,'

'That's great!'

It was about two hours later when they finally had down the whole song;

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
And I come here to talk
I hope you understand

Those green eyes
Yeah the spotlight shines upon you
And how could anybody deny you
I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter
Now I met you
And honey you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green eyes

Honey you are the sea
Upon which I float
And I came here to talk
I think you should know

Those green eyes
You're the one that I wanted to find
And anyone who tried to deny you
Must be out of their mind

Because I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter
Since I met you
And honey you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green eyes
Green eyes
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand

Merry Christmas Lily

Love James xox

'This is perfect.' James said, 'Lily is really going to love this.'

'See I told you. Anyone can write a song.' Julianna replied smiling.

'Uh, Juls. Can I.. talk to you...about something.' James asked.

'Sure. What's up?'

'Well do you remember the night when we got back from the Hogsmeade trip this month?

'Yes.'

'Well, I kind of overheard-' James begun.

'Good Morning.' Sirius said, coming down the stairs, Tammy trailing behind him with her hand clasped in his.

'Happy Christmas.' Tammy said, kissing James on the cheek and then moving to hug Julianna.

'Happy Christmas.' Julianna replied, hugging Tammy.

'Where's Lily, Remus and Mary-Elle?' James asked.

'Lily is just in the bathroom, Mary-Elle is putting her robe on and Remus, well, we couldn't wake him up.' Sirius replied.

'Yeah, and we were thinking, with it being Christmas and everything, that you could go wake him up Julia.' Tammy smirked.

Julianna simply rolled her eyes, and headed up towards the 7th year boys dorms.

'Is he really sleeping?' James asked.

'Well...we may have lied about that part. Julianna will thank us though.' Sirius replied.

Remus dried his hair with a towel he had placed on the sink. It was Christmas morning and his friends would be making their way downstairs to open their presents by the fire like they always did. He told Sirius and Tammy that he would be down shortly as he wanted to take a shower before showing his face downstairs. He was much too tired to walk half-way across the school to bathe in the Prefects bathroom so he decided to just do it in their dorm bathroom. He reached behind him to grab a white towel to wrap around his lower torso, but was only grabbing air. Remus turned around to see that there were no towels left. Sirius. Remus thought in his head. Great! This was just great! There were no towels left and he knew Sirius was behind it.

'No matter, there's no one in the dorm anyways. I can slip in without worry.' Remus said outloud to himself.

He stepped outside of the bathroom to find someone sitting on his bed. '...Oh god.'

As Julianna climbed the stairs to Remus's dorm she wondered why they sent her up. If they couldn't wake him up, what made them think she could. It would be a good opportunity, however, to get a good look at him without worrying about him looking over and noticing her staring at him. She entered his dorm room. There was no one occupying the beds. So Remus must be up. She heard water running and figured it was him in the shower. She went to turn around and leave the room but decided not to. She would wait for him, and she sat down on the nearest bed and waited. So this is the famous Marauders Dorm. Julianna thought to herself. She frowned at the thought that entered her head next. There had to have been about a hundred girls at Hogwarts who had already seen this dorm room before. James and Sirius probably beded fifty each in this room, and as she thought of it more, it made her sick. Her heart fluttered though, as she remembered James and Sirius telling her one night that Remus was still a virgin. It made her happy that the man she practically loved to death was still a virgin and not a "man-whore" much like James and Sirius.

Julianna heard the water shut off and the rusel of Remus moving around in the bathroom. As the door opened, and he stepped outside the bathroom, her eyes nearly fell out of her eye socketts.

He was naked. Naked in all his glory. '...Oh god.' The spoke in union.

'Oh Remus I'm soo sorry. I really am.' Julianna said, covering her eyes quickly with her hands. I can't believe I just saw Remus...naked! NAKED! 'I-I didn't realise you were going to come out...like that. Sirius and Tammy said you had been sleeping and I came up to wake you. Oh God! I'm so sorry.' She quickly got off the bed and exited the room.

Damn it! Remus thought as he walked quickly over to his trunck and pulled out of pair of navy blue boxers and pulled them on. She probably won't even look at me in the eyes anymore.. Remus pulled on the remainder of his wardrobe which consist of black Muggle sweatpants and a grey long sleeved shirt. He headed downstairs to meet with his friends, hopefully all could be well between him and Julia.

As the Common room came into view, he saw James with Lily on his lap in an armchair closest to the fireplace, Sirius and Tammy laying out on the couch, Mary-Elle in another arm chair and Julianna on the floor. He hadn't had time to take in what she was wearing when he came out of the bathroom but he decided to do it now. She was wearing pink pj bottoms with little clouds on them and a white tank top covered by a grey sweater. She looked beautiful.

'There's our Moony. What took you so long?' Sirius asked.

Remus looked at Julianna and watched her blush. 'Uh, I was in the shower.'

'Oh. Well, I hope it was pleasent.' Sirius replied smirking.

Remus glared at him, but then took a seat next to Julianna on the floor. He mouthed a quick "I'm sorry" to her and looked to wear a stack of presents stood beside James and Lily.

'That's alot this year.' Remus said.

'Well, we do have another member to our wonderful family.' Lily replied, looking at Julianna and smiling.

'So who's are we opening first?'

'Well, I'd like all my presents to you guys to be opened last. If that's okay.' Julianna replied.

'Yeah. No problem. How about we start out with mine. Here you guys are.' James said, handing out his presents to the right person. Lily was the first to open hers.

'Oh James. It's beautiful.' Lily said. It was a beautiful white gold necklace with a white gold heart locket hanging off it with an "L" engraved into it.

'Open it up.' James replied. She quickly opened the locket to find a picture taken recently of him and her dancing in the courtyard infront of the fountain.

'This is so thoughtful, thank you.' Lily said, kissing James's lips.

'And one other thing.' James said, handing the piece of paper, that contained his song, to her. She quickly read it over and looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

'Oh James! That was so beautiful. Thank you.'

'Alright! A Werid Sisters t-shirt! Thanks man.' Sirius shouted.

'Oh James! Dragon Hide gloves! Thank you.' Tammy said.

'A black choker necklace. Just what you said I'd get. Thanks.' Mary-Elle said.

'A watch.' Remus stated.

'A golden watch. Made sure to stay away from silver.' James replied.

Remus smiled, 'Thanks Prongs.'

'A...tiara. Uh, thanks James.' Julianna said, staring at the tiara blankly. James knew that she was confuessed but he decided to let her think about the present. After what he had over heard between her and Ian, he went back to Hogsmeade the day after and decided to buy her it.

As time progressed all the presents had been opened accept for the ones that Mary-Elle and Julianna had bought. James had so far gotten an Invisiblity cloak from Sirius, a book called "How to throw your voice" from Tammy, and a book called "Pranks of the best" from Remus.

Lily had gotten her necklace from James, a new green traveling cloak from Sirius, a photo album filled with picture of her, Tammy and Mary-Elle durning their years at Hogwarts from Tammy, and a shower set from Remus.

Sirius had gotten his Werid Sisters t-shirt from James, a biography of The Werid Sisters from Lily, and two way mirriors from Remus.

Tammy had gotten her dragon hide gloves from James, a book called "1000 and more hairstyles to meet your needs" from Lily, a beautiful sapphire promise ring from Sirius and a new pink traveling cloak from Remus.

Mary-Elle had gotten her black choker necklace from James, a book called "Making your own jewelary" from Lily, a skull necklace from Sirius, a new "punk" outfit from Tammy and a new black traveling cloak from Remus.

Julianna had gotten her...tirara from James, a necklace that dangled the letter "J" on it from Lily, an anklet with moons and stars on it from Sirius, a braclet with a heart hanging from it from Tammy and a music box that played Julianna's song on it, the one that had been broken by Tammy's sister, only this time, Remus was singing the song.

'Remus, this is the sweetest thing anyone has ever given me.' Julianna said, leaning over towards him to kiss his cheek. Remus turned his head while she was doing this and her lips caught the edge of his lips. She pulled back quickly and blushed.

'Alright. I want to give out my presents. Now each come in a set so this one is for Lily and James, this one for Sirius and Tammy and this one is for Remus and Julia.' Mary-Elle said, 'Now before you open them, I'll explain the presents. They are rings. Each come in a set. They are called spirit rings. They each have your name and the name of your "partner" engraved on the band. Now, everytime your "partner" is in trouble the spirit ring start to flash a bright white colour.'

'That's really neat.' Lily replied.

'Can we open them yet?' Sirius asked.

'Yeah, go ahead.' Mary-Elle said.

As they opened the boxs their were gasps from the girls. 'Wow' they all said in union.

James and Lily's set contained an orange stone ring and an emerald green stone ring for. 'Which do you want?' James asked.

'The green one, that is if you don't mind.' Lily replied. James slipped the ring on her middle finger, 'The green one it is then.'

Julianna looked over to see that Tammy was wearing pink stone ring and Sirius had on the topaz blue one. Julianna looked back to Remus, 'Which one do you want, the blue or the red?'

'Well the blue looks more like the woman's ring so,' Remus placed it on her middle finger, 'I'll take the red.' Julianna grabbed the red ring before he could and slipped it on his hand.

'It suits you.' She replied, 'Alright now it's time to open my presents. Now James, Lily and I went in on this present together.' She handed him his very long present.

'Okay.' James said in the midst of ripping open the wrapping paper, 'Oh. My. GOD!' James was holding a Nimbus 1700, the newest edition of brooms, the same exact edition Julianna owned. Attached to the broom handle was a book called "Plays of the best". 'Oh my god! This book was written by the captain of the Irish team.'

'Yup.' Julianna replied.

'He's the best Quidditch player there is! And this is the best Christmas present ever. Even my parents don't get me good stuff like this.' James said, kissing Lily's lips fiercly and then hugged Julianna very tightly.

'Now for Sirius's present. Tammy and I went in on this present together since it was very expensive.' Julianna replied, walking over to a closet that was located near the stairs in the Common Room. She wheeled out a giant present covered by a blanket.

'Holy shit! Big enough.' James said.

'One-Two-THREE!' Julianna and Tammy said together as they pulled off the blanket. Sirius stared at his present with shocked eyes. It was a Motorcycle, but not just any motorcycle, it was a flying one, the one his mum refused to get him.

'I love you two...so much!' Sirius said, pulling both girls into a powerful hug. When Sirius finally let go of them, both girls were searching for breath.

'Mary-Elle, your present is right next to your chair.' Julianna panted, And here, Lily, Tammy and Remus. Here's your presents.'

'Oh thanks! I've been looking for this book. I hear only ten copies were ever made.' Mary-Elle said, grasping her new book "A Hundred and fifty different ways and reasons to charm jewellary".

'Five copies actually. My mother use to own that copy. She was really big on charming jewellary.'

'Oh. Well this is wonderful. Thank you.'

Both Lily and Tammy squealed when they opened up their gifts. Lily had gotten White Gold braclets with diamonds on them and Tammy got the same except instead of braclets, hers were hoop earings.

'They are so beautiful.' Tammy exclaimed.

'I can't except these. They are too nice.' Lily stated.

'No. It's Christmas. Everybody is suppost to get something really nice at Christmas. That's mine to you.' Julianna replied smiling.

'So. What did you get Moony?' James asked.

Remus stared blankly at what his box contained. It was a paper. A piece of paper. But not just any piece of paper. This was a deed to a house! It stated that when he left Hogwarts there would be a house on Dragoon Drive in an area not to far from London that would be waiting for him. There was also a picture of the house in the box. It was a gigantic place. Four stories high, an outdoor and two indoor swimming pools, four hot tubs, thirty-five bedrooms, and the list went on. 'This-this isn't for me, is it?' he asked.

'Of course it is.' Julianna replied, raising an eyebrow.

'No. I can't take this.'

'What is it?' Mary-Elle asked. Remus held up the picture of the house and the deed.

'You bought him a house!' James exclaimed.

'I just want you to have a good starting after Hogwarts.' Julianna said, taking his hands within hers.

'Yeah but, I , you didn't have to buy my a castle. I only wanted a flat when I leave school.' Remus replied.

'I know, but I wanted you to have a great starting out point.' Julianna replied, smiling, 'So will you take it?'

'If he doesn't, can I?' Sirius asked but was quickly nudged in the ribs by Tammy. 'What! If he's not going to take it, why waste a great house like that.'

'Please Remus. It would mean so much to me if you took it.' Julianna stated.

'I- Alright.' Remus said in a half whisper, 'I'll-I'll take it, but on one condition.'

'And that is?'

'You all have to come live with me there.'

'You got it!' Sirius stated quickly.

Remus went to place the box down on the floor but Julianna grabbed his arm, 'What? What's wrong?'

'There's still one thing left for you in that box.' Julianna said.

Remus searched through the box and found another piece of paper.

'What's it say?' Lily asked.

"This ticket provides Remus John Lupin and Julianna Seraphina Zandwyk to attend the Yule Ball together (December 25th 1978), if the owner of thus ticket is willing."
