Disclaimer: Harry Potter and what-not's are not mine, but a few of the characters are…it just makes me happy to be able to say that, so you all don't mind.

Author Notes: Thank you all for your patience and your reviews! I've been lazy and depressed, since Jr. year starts next Monday…-cries-…anyways…in this chapter there shall be some cross dressing…okay, a lot, but since you're reading this and like boy's with boy's, I don't think you will mind cross dressing…and trou d'âne mean's ass hole in French…or at least, that is what the translator said…also, I just feel like telling you, but if I hadn't written the last chapter like I did and someone didn't ask, you all would have two less chapters…

Destiny, Interrupted

Chapter Eight

Christmas Tidings

Part One: Drunken Parties

Harry landed on a carpeted floor, face first. 'How do I always manage to land on the floor? At least it's cushioned…'

"Who's this?" a woman asked and Harry lifted his head and looked at her. She was tall, slightly skinny, curvy and looked about mid-thirties or so. She had ivory skin and waist length pitch black hair. She was wearing a scarlet, glittery floor length dress with off the shoulder sleeves. Her hazel eyes looked questioningly at him.

"That must be Harry." A man replied next to her. He was taller then the lady by a good few inches, but was well toned. He was in his late thirties, early forties. His light brown hair was short and spiky. He was dark skinned, as if he spent most of his time outdoors. He was wearing a black tux with a white under shirt and a black bowtie.

These were his grandparents. He didn't know their names or what they even looked like, but he knew that they were. He just stared at them, not caring he was on the floor.

"Yep! That's Harry Granger!" someone said behind him. He turned his head to look behind to see James and Sirius standing there by the fireplace.

"Are you going to stay on the floor all day?" Sirius asked as he walked over him then offered a hand.

"Not that Sirius would mind…" James muttered under his breath, earning a glare from Sirius.

When Harry stood up, his mouth dropped open in surprise. Now that he was staring at the floor or fixated on his grandparents, he had a chance to look around. The room he was standing in was oozing Christmas spirit. There was a huge evergreen tree decorated in tinsel and lights with a glowing star on top. Around the room was more tinsel and Christmas joy. "Wow…"

"It's very pretty." The woman said. "I'm Karen Potter and this is my husband Michael Potter."

"Nice to meet you." Harry said, staring at his grandparents, making sure he remembered every detail.

"And you're Harry Granger then?" Michael asked and Harry nodded.

"Sirius' boyfriend, right?" Karen asked seriously.

Harry choked. "What?"

Sirius rolled his eyes and patted Harry on the head. "Of course he is…" Harry glared up at him for being so smooth but relaxed when he saw that he was blushing.

Karen rolled her eyes and grinned. "You two are so cute! Well, you three better go get changed before the guest start arriving. Jamesikin will give you three tuxes or dress robes…whichever…"

"Alright mum, but please, refrain from calling me names like that in front of people." James said, heading towards a hallway.

"Okay Jamie." Karen called and Sirius and Harry snickered as they followed James up a flight of stairs to a place with doors of either side of the walls.

James stopped and glared at them. "Shut up." He pointed to one door. "You," he pointed at Sirius, "go in there. And you," He pointed at Harry then to the door opposite of that one. "Go in there. Can't have you two in the same room stripping can we? And I will go change in my room." He walked down the hall, disappearing around a corner.

Sirius and Harry stood in the hall for a moment before Sirius turned and said very seriously, "We should change in the same room, just to annoy him."

Harry looked up at him, shook his head and smiled. "Sorry, but I want to go to this party sometime tonight."

Sirius wrinkled his nose and stuck out his tongue. "So cruel…I promise you though, that I will steal you away later and then we shall strip."

Harry blushed scarlet as Sirius turned and walked in his room. He shook his head to clear it of Sirius induced thoughts and walked into the room. The room was large with one wall made up of rows and rows of tuxedos and dress robes of different sizes, colors and designs. On another wall were full length mirrors for you to look at yourself at all angles. On the third wall were shoes and ties. He blinked and stared. It was amazing.

Suddenly, a measuring tape came out of nowhere and started measuring his arms and legs and waist quite quickly, then disappeared. Next, the tuxes start moving and a whole row pushed out in front. Harry walked up, looked through them and realized that they were his size. He picked out a very nice three piece one.

When he chose the suit, the rest disappeared. Since he saw no changing room, he just started stripping. He folded his clothes when was done and set them on the chair. Then he went to the shoes and chose a black pair. Then he took an emerald green tie and wrapped it around his neck. He stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself. He looked presentable, except for the tie. He never learned how to tie one…he always got someone else to do it for him. He sighed and decided that he'd just get Sirius or James to do it.

He walked towards the door and opened it slowly. He stepped out and closed the door just as slowly, staring at the people. Well, he wasn't staring at James or Remus really, they were dressed nicely in tuxes, it was Sirius he was staring at and who was currently being yelled at.

"Sirius, you can't wear that!" James yelled. Sirius was wearing a full length, icy blue, glittery dress. It was spaghetti strapped and round his neck was a diamond choker. He even had dangly diamond earrings and light makeup. His hair was down and lay past his shoulders.

Sirius turned and grinned at the shocked Harry. "Aren't you lovely." Harry couldn't even think of something to come back with. Sirius rolled his eyes and walked up to Harry. He had to look up higher then usual.

"Are you wearing heels?" Harry asked in shock.

Sirius grinned and started tying his tie. "Yupe. Not very tall ones, but I'll take them off when we go downstairs."

"You aren't going downstairs like that!" James shouted.

Sirius finished tying Harry's tie in record time and placed his hands on Harry's shoulders. "You can't deny this handsome gentleman his lovely escort."

The other two just stared at them. Remus turned to James. "I think, out of those two, Harry should be the one wearing the dress."

James shook his head. "Nah, just because he's shorter doesn't make him the better choice for a dress. See, Sirius actually looks like a girl…a flat chested girl, but a girl none the less."

Sirius put his hands on his waist and stuck his tongue out at them. "Shut up."

"Do you wonder…actually, never mind." Remus said. "I don't want to know."

James looked at him. "Eww…I think I know what you're thinking and I agree; I don't need to know."

"Ugh, you two are gross." Sirius said, shaking his head in disgust. "Besides, it's none of your concern."

Harry watched them then blinked blankly. "What are you talking about?"
Three set of eyes turned and looked at him. "Umm…" Remus said slowly, "I think I'm going to go meet you downstairs." With that, he left.

"I'm right there with you mate. Sirius be a dear and escort Harry downstairs." James said and quickly followed Remus. "By the way, change your clothes." He shouted and was gone.

The two Gryffindor boys stood there for a moment before Sirius turned to Harry. "He was speaking to you."

Harry raised an eyebrow at him. "Uh-huh…" He continued to look Sirius in the eyes. "Are you going to tell me what that was all about?"

"Of course not! Let's go downstairs!" Sirius said and grabbed his boys' hand and started pulling him away.

"Hold up!" Harry shouted and tugged on the taller boys' hand. Sirius stopped and looked at Harry. "Aren't you going to change?"

Sirius smirked. "No. It's not like everyone will know I'm a guy and the ones who do will be too embarrassed to say anything."

Harry shook his head. "You frighten me."

"Aw…that's mean."

"Sorry, but it's true."

Sirius waved a dismissive hand. "Yeah, well, you aren't the first one to say something like that. So, let's go!" Sirius started tugging him and this time, Harry let him…

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

Harry was in awe from how many people were there. There were witches and wizards of all ages and in different styles of clothing. It was loud with Christmas music, talking and laughter. Harry stood in the doorway, holding Sirius' hand.

"Come on Harry! Let's go in! I want some egg nog!" Sirius said in a whiny voice and tugged on the shorter boys' hand.

Harry turned to him and smiled. "Alright." Sirius grinned back and started pulling him through the crowd.

"Harry!" someone shouted once he had been tugged into another room, still full with people.

Harry turned just in time to have someone launched into his arms. When the person pulled, he saw that it was Midori, wearing a short dark blue dress. "Hi Midori."

She grinned and kissed him on the cheek. "I haven't seen you in forever!"

Someone coughed beside him and they both turned to see Sirius standing there, looking annoyed. "Get your paws off my boy."

Midori looked at him a second. "Sirius?"

"Oh Merlin." Someone said and Alice, dressed in a light blue dress and holding hands with a boy who was about Sirius' height, maybe a bit taller if Sirius wasn't wearing heels, with dirty blonde hair, light blue eyes, tan skin and a tux, walked up with Lily in a pretty green dress and Raen in a beautiful silver outfit of pants and shirt and her brother, wearing a blue tux.

"Wow, everyone is here!" Sirius said as James, Remus and Peter walked up behind them.

Lily shook her head. "You scare me Black."

"I told him to change…" James whined.

"And you expected him to listen?" Raen asked.

"Nah, I was just hoping."

"A verra great hope." Alice said and turned to Harry. "Harry, this is my boyfriend, Frank Longbottom. Frank, this is Harry Granger."

Frank stuck his hand out. "Nice to meet you Harry."

Harry took his hand and shook it. "Nice to meet you too." They let go of each others hands.
Frank smiled and turned his eyes to Sirius. "Harry, I hope you know you have just taken on a big handful with that one."

Harry turned and smiled up at Sirius. "I know, but I don't mind."

Sirius smiled. "Good, because I don't mind having you around either."

"Eww…they're going to get mushy, let's go." James said and took Lily's hand. "You want to hang out?"

Lily looked at him, looked about ready to refuse then sighed. "Sure. It's Christmas after all and I suppose I could fulfill one of your wishes."

James grinned, but before he could talk, Sirius interrupted. "Now who's getting all mushy?"

Lily glared at him and everyone dissipated from the gathering to their own little groups after saying goodbyes and 'see you later's. Sirius sighed happily when everyone was gone. "Good, now let's go get some egg nog!"

Harry followed along with Sirius and watched all the looks they got from other people. It was actually funny how many people checked Sirius out and was even funnier when his grandparents saw them and just shook their heads in amusement.

It took about five minutes to find the egg nog. There was a lot of food and drinks there on the buffet table. Sirius poured himself a cup, chugged it down, got some more and the poured a cup for Harry. Harry took it and took a sip as Sirius downed another cup and got some more. Harry wrinkled his nose and looked at the drink. "This taste weird."

Sirius nodded and grinned. "Have you ever had alcoholic egg nog?"

Harry shook his head then narrowed his eyes. "This is spiked?"

"No, it's not spiked…it's suppose to be alcoholic." Sirius replied and started to drink his.

Harry grabbed his cup and pulled it away from his lips. "You're not going to get drunk, are you?"

Sirius shook his head and grinned. "I can hold my own, thank you!"

Before Harry could say more, Midori came up behind him and hugged him around the waist. "Come on Harry, I want you to meet my family!"

Harry looked at Sirius and he waved his hand at him. "I'll find you later…I don't mind you being showed off."

Harry sighed. "Alright, find me later, okay?" Sirius nodded and started to drink some more. As Harry was dragged away, a man in his early twenties with blonde hair and green eyes walked up to Sirius and started talking to him. Harry shook his head. Let Sirius get hit on by other people, he didn't care. Harry knew he was lying to himself, but soon he was too deep into introduction to have that thought at the forefront of his mind…

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

It was three hours later and we find Harry sitting on a couch in one of the less populated rooms. It had been three hours since he last saw Sirius and that annoyed him. When he hadn't seen him in the first hour, he was slightly worried and got some more egg nog. By the two hour mark, he had had about three egg nogs, from going there to see if Sirius was there about every fifteen minutes. By the three hour mark, he was pissed in many ways. He had had about ten egg nogs and was slightly woozy and was more then a little annoyed that Sirius hadn't shown up.

Suddenly, someone sat next to him and leaned on his shoulders. "Hiya Harry."

Harry turned and glared at Sirius. "Where the hell were you?"

Sirius looked shocked. "I was around…"

"Getting hit on by other people."

Sirius pouted. "I'm sorry."

Harry sulked. "It's alright…you can't help it…"

Sirius smiled and cuddled him. They were quiet, sitting like that. Suddenly, Sirius turned his face up to him and grinned. "Did it hurt?"

Harry looked at him funny. "Did what hurt?"

"Falling from heaven…"

Harry blinked and shook his head, making the room spin. "That was a cheesy line…"

"I know, but it's true…you're like an angel." Sirius leaned up and started kissing him.

Harry kissed back and when they pulled apart, Harry looked at him. "How much have you drank?"

"About as much as you." Sirius replied and started kissing him again. Soon it was into an all out snog session. Suddenly, Sirius stopped and stood up, wobbling a bit. Harry looked down at Sirius' feet and realized that he had lost his shoes.

Harry looked up and saw Sirius was hold his hands out. "Wha'?"

"Let's go."

"Go where."

"Anywhere a bit more private." Sirius replied and grabbed Harry's hands, tugging him out the door and Harry let him. He was a bit to fuzzy in the head to realize what Sirius was implying…
