A/N: I am so sorry for not updating faster! I was grounded and I had writer's block. This chapter is short but needed. It came to me when we were eating at Burger King. Weird, I know.

Secret Santa

Lily and James both woke up with smiles on their faces. Last night's memories were fresh in their minds. Also, it was Christmas Eve. James especially couldn't wait. He was like a three year old boy, counting down the days till Christmas.

James jumped out of bed and took a five minute shower. He threw on some clothes and didn't even bother to brush his hair. His clothes didn't match, but he was in too much of a good mood to care.

Lily, on the other hand, took a long shower. It took her five minutes just to pick out a shirt, and twice that to put on her make-up. She curled her hair so it fell gently around her face. She slowly alighted downstairs. For the second time that year, she tripped right into the arms of James. But this time, she didn't mind.

"Oh, James. I am so glad you were here to help me. I just don't what I would do without you." she joked, trying to keep a straight face.

"You simply wouldn't exist." he joked right back.

"You simply are right, my knight in shining armor."

" Oh, Lily..." he leaned down to kiss her, but they were interrupted by the doorbell. He was so surprised, he dropped Lily.

"Ow," she cried, rubbing her butt.

"I am so sorry. I would never want to damage that cute little butt of yours. My sincerest apologies."

Lily chuckled and hit James lightly. "Go open the door servant."

"Yes, of course ma'am."

He opened the door to find four smiling teenagers on the porch. His mouth dropped open in surprise.

"Why hello there prongs, how are you today. Don't mind if we drop in do you?" Sirius said, pushing his way through James.

He stopped at Lily, took her hand and kissed it. "Your real prince has come." James looked hurt while Lily blushed. He shoved Sirius out of the way.

"Hey, you want my Lily, you have to go through me first." his expression was pure hatred. Sirius backed away. Before anything else could happen, Anna stepped in.

"Now for the reason we are here. We thought it would be a good idea if we did a secret santa. It took awhile to explain what Santa was to Sirius, but he liked the idea once he heard. We will draw names, and whoever you draw, you have to give them a present. If you draw your boyfriend or girlfriend, you must draw again. This must not be personal, but something fun. Agreed?"

"Agreed." they said in unison.

"Ok, let's draw." They all drew. Lily was not very happy with her choice, but she didn't complain.

"Perfect. Now I don't know about you guys, but I am starving. Lily, you have anything to eat in this wonderful house of your?" Sirius asked, right as Lily's mother came in.

"Why of course dear. Are you all hungry?"

"Yes."

"Especially me!" James piped in.

"James, your always hungry." Lily laughed. James looked hurt, but he then leaned down and kissed Lily.

"Hey, not in front of the mom." her mother said with a chuckle. James pulled away, leaving a very red Lily.
