Chapter 7

The holiday season was approaching quickly. In no time at all, it was almost Christmas vacation. Sirius had sent a letter to his father asking for permission to bring some friends to the house for Christmas. (His father had made it very clear that Sirius was to be home for Christmas.) In his hand he had a letter from his father, holding the answer to his question. A little afraid of what the answer might be, Sirius opened it.

Dear Sirius,

Nice to hear from you. Glad you're well. Your mother and I are well as well.

Of course, you can bring a couple of friends to the house for Christmas. (If that's what'll take for you to come home this year.)

 ONLY BRING 2! And make sure that it's the one's you want because they'll be with us for the entire break, no exceptions.

Your mother and I look forward to meeting your friends this Christmas. Can't wait to see you.

Love,

      Dad

Sirius sighed and smiled. He had said yes. Good. He knew exactly whom he wanted to bring: Remus & James. The full moon wasn't for a while, so he knew Remus would be able to come. He wasn't sure if James would be able to come, but he hoped that he would.

"What do you have there, Sirius?" James asked as he saw the letter in Sirius' hand.

"Nothing." Sirius said. "Just a letter from my father."

"Ok." James said. "Let's go or we'll be late for our first class."

They got up and went to their first class. Sirius made up his mind that he would ask them both tonight when they were in the common room.

That night in the common room, Sirius put off doing it until they were alone. When most of the common room was empty, he told himself just to do it. He would just say that he was allowed to bring to friend, when, in truth, he was allowed to bring 2. But if he said that, Remus wouldn't feel special… and Remus had to feel special. After all, he was. Or at least he was to Sirius.

They were all talking about Christmas, and their plans, so Sirius just brought it. "My parents said that I have to come home for Christmas this year. But, they said I could bring a friend."

"Oh." Remus said. "At least there's that."

Sirius could tell by the look on Remus's face that he assumed that Sirius would ask James. Well, he was, but only after he asked Remus. He stood and walked over to Remus.

Sirius put his hand on the back on Remus's elbow and got closer to him. He bent down, and whispered something in to Remus's ear. "I want you to come."

Remus, who was looking forward, snapped his head up and looked into Sirius's eyes quickly. "Me?"

"Yes, you." Sirius said looking straight into his eyes. Looking at James: "Oh, and James, you're more than welcome to come."

"I thought you said you could only bring one friend?" James said.

Sirius smiled shyly. "I lied." He said. "I can bring two."

"Why'd you lie?" James asked.

Sirius looked at Remus again. "You."

Remus looked shocked. "Me? Why'd you lie because of me?"

Sirius smiled shyly again, a blush creeping across his face. "To make you feel special. If I said two, you would've naturally assumed you and James, right? So, I said one… so I could make you feel special."

A blush crept across Remus' face as well. James and Lily just smiled at themselves.

"I can go." James said. "Without a doubt. I can go."

"Great!" Sirius said, happily. "Do you two have to talk to your parents?" He asked.

"Yes," Remus said, "but I know I'll be able to go."

"Same here." said James.

Sirius smiled warmly at him. "Good."

The next day, Remus wrote his parents, and two days later got a reply. They said that of course he could go.

Later that week, Professor McGonagall came around the common room getting the names of students who were staying for Christmas. When she got around to them, Stacey, Peter, and Lily put their names on the list, Sirius, Remus, and James, did not.

"No?" Professor McGonagall said, shocked. "That's a surprise." But she didn't ask any questions and walked off to get more names.

"So, who's all going to be there?" Remus asked Sirius.

"My family." He answered. "My mum, my dad, my brother, aunts, uncles and cousins… you know the drill."

"Will we have fun?" asked Stacey.

"At my house? Without a doubt." Sirius said, grinning.

 "Do you have a big family?" Peter asked.

"Pretty big." Sirius said. "Not huge, but big."

 "I can't wait for Christmas vacation." Remus said. "I've never really had a real family Christmas. The full moon as always fallen near Christmas. Thank god it's not this year."

"Yeah." Sirius agreed.

As the Christmas vacation, crept closer Sirius and Remus got anxious waiting for the upcoming holiday.
