A/n: Hey! Another chapter. Hope you enjoy. I am taking (or will try to take) a little time off of writing this ficcy. (Which is why it will take you so long to get this.) I have other ficcy's I'm writing and they have come 2nd to this and I suppose that I need to work on them a little more. Sorry for the wait. I will try to write them all at one time, and not take time off of this or any of my other fanfics again. Again, sorry for the delay.

The Anti-social Squirrel: I'm glad you love this story! I'm so glad that people like my story. I think everyone will feel bad for him… how can you not?

Dame Noir: I'm glad you like it. Don't be afraid to criticize my work. Even if it's already been said. (However, if it's about Stacey… I don't want to hear about that. I have tried to give her faults and not make her seem so perfect. Even though I don't see how see people can say she has no faults. The Prophecy is fault enough. I mean, come on, you can read minds and you're in love with Lord Voldemort. How much worse can you get?) But I'm glad you like it. The R rating is for future events. I know it doesn't deserve one now, but later it may. (Of course, although I already have the entire story mapped out in my head, I cannot be sure of any details until I write it.) I'm just being safe ahead of time, so I don't have to change the rating later.

Schwester Aurelia: I'm glad you've decided to read one of my stories. No problem for reviewing! I have that story on my favorite stories, and I check all of the "In progress" stories on my favorite stories list every time I'm on, so… A teaser? No…. I've learned my lesson on teasers… I always end up reading something that gives away too much, and I can't live without knowing what is coming up, so… I don't do that. Caddy-corner is, like, diagonal from. You'll have to see if I make him suffer… Don't forget that Sirius is suffering, too… Do I have to describe that detailed? *grins* Yes. I love details. Yes, angelic, like an angel. Yes, you have mentioned before that you hate him. Don't worry, I do, too. (Actually, I think everybody does.) Don't worry; she won't come between Sirius and Remus. Stacey? Have a crush on Snape? Oh, dear god, no. No, she has no crush on Sirius. And not one on Remus either. Her heart belongs to Lord Voldemort, and Lord Voldemort only. (Sickening, I know.) Sorry to burst your bubble. Stacey die later on? Well, that's one that I'm not going to tell you, but don't forget… this is not about her! It's about Sirius and Remus, so… I had to add all that stuff about Stacey not being perfect (even though she wasn't from the beginning) because thought she was, and that she didn't fit in. She's not depressive. I had to just say that, so that people would see that she's not perfect. I mean, I can't believe that people didn't see that from the beginning! I mean, come on, the whole prophecy thing, and being telepathic, and being in love with Lord Voldemort… is that a good thing? Uh, no! Hello! Duh! Well, in POA, Remus was nice to Snape, even though Snape despised him, so… Sirius was mad because he believes that Stacey isn't worthy of Snape. He doesn't want any of his friends involved with that creep. A second Stacey? What are you talking about? Peter's looking pale because he hates tests and quizzes and is not a good student at all. You put me on your fave list? Thank you! Thank you so much!

EYENMCDEYE: The review to your story will be in Chapter 16.

Chapter 10

The next five days passed without anything happening. Angus and Alexandra acted like they knew nothing about Sirius and Remus and Sirius' sexuality.

 Then it was New Years': one of the biggest nights of the year. Everyone at the Black residents was excited to celebrate New Years'.

6 o'clock came around and everyone sat the dining room had dinner. A couple hours afterwards, one of the adults opened a bottle of red wine for the adults and a bottle of non-alcoholic stuff for the minors. (Against the wishes of James and Sirius, of course.) James and Sirius wanted the real stuff. Sirius's father strictly said no. Remus just shook his head, and Aiden just stuck his tongue out at his little brother and Sirius glared at him threateningly.

A little while later, Angus walked over to where his son, Sirius, and his "friend" Remus were standing. He didn't know where James was at the moment. Probably off to the restroom or getting some more drink. (Hopefully not of the alcoholic stuff.)

"Sirius?" Angus asked. "Could you do me a favor?"

"Sure, dad, of course," Sirius said. "What?"

"Could you put your little cousins to bed for me, please?" Angus asked.

"Sure." Sirius said. "Why don't you have Aiden do it?"

"Because," he said, "your brother's getting a little tipsy and I don't want him to drop one of the kids while he's taking them upstairs."

"Ah." Sirius said. "I see. Of course I will."

"Thank you." And with that he went back to mingle with the guests at the party.

"You can help me." Sirius said.

"Ok." Remus said. He didn't like or want to argue and it wasn't that big of a deal.

They looked over at the couch and saw too little girls, one blonde and one brunette, lying, sound asleep. They walked over and Sirius picked up the brunette and Remus picked up the blonde.

"What's her name?" Remus said, meaning the girl he was holding as he and Sirius walked up to the girls' rooms.

"Ashley." Sirius said.

"She was one of the ones who wanted to wake up on Christmas."

"Wake me up?" Sirius exclaimed. "You're kidding!"

"Nope," said Remus. "Your mum warned them about waking you up."

"It's not a good idea." Sirius said.

"That's basically what she said."

Then they got to the girls' room. They sat the girls down in the bed that they were sharing. They stepped back and Sirius put his arm around Remus, and kissed him on the cheek. Then they turned around and went back downstairs and brought the rest of Sirius' younger cousin's upstairs and to bed.

A couple hours later, it was getting pretty late, and getting very close to midnight. They were starting to run out of wine.

Just as midnight was dawning, they had run out of all the wine that was out.

"Sirius? Would you go get another glass of wine, please?" asked Sirius' uncle, Jonas.

"Sure," said Sirius, taking Remus with him into the kitchen.

While Remus and Sirius were in the kitchen, they heard everyone in the family room count down to the New Year. "10… 9… 8… 7…. 6… 5… 4…. 3… 2… 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

When "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" was called, Sirius grabbed Remus and drew him into a kiss.

"Happy New Year, love," whispered Sirius, leaning his forehead against Remus'.

Remus smiled a soft smile and said, "Happy New Year to you, too, darling."

"Sirius!" They heard Sirius' uncle, Jonas, yell. "Where's that wine?"

"Coming!" yelled Sirius, as he got the bottle of wine from out of an overhead cupboard. Then he and Remus walked out of the kitchen, and Sirius handed it to Jonas.

Jonas poured the adults some wine.

The rest of the night went on as normal. They stayed up for a few hours and then went to bed and slept 'till noon the next day.

The rest of the Christmas vacation went on without event. Then came the day when they had to go back to Hogwarts. James, Sirius, and Remus made sure they had everything and then dragged their trunks downstairs.

"All ready to go?" asked Angus, Sirius's dad.

"Yep." They said. "All ready."

"Well, then, come on." He said.

"You're taking us to the train station?" Sirius asked.

"Yes," he said. "I am."

"Cool." Sirius said.

James, Sirius, and Remus dragged their stuff out to the car that they would taking and then put their stuff in the trunk.

James and Angus sat in the front seat and Sirius and Remus sat in the front seat.

When they got to Platform 9 and ¾, they said their goodbyes and then Sirius, Remus, and James were on their way back to Hogwarts.

When they got the back to Hogwarts, it took a little while for them to get back into the habit of going to classes, and doing homework. And then Quidditch season started again, and James, Jack, Sirius, and Stacey were back to practicing for their next game.

A/n: Well, I hope you like it. R/R!
