Disclaimer: Harry Potter is not…of forget it, you all know by now…

Author Notes: Thank you for the reviews! I apologize slightly for what I made Sirius do…if you haven't figured it out by now, I pick on Sirius an awful lot, and it's just what I do. I figure he's a good sport about all the 'mean' things I do to him…he's so lovable! And I like making Harry oblivious…it makes me laugh. Alright, I just felt like saying that all…this chapter will more of a hilarious thing…the calm before the storm…dun dun dun…and if you don't know, the italics in the middle is a flashback…I'm sorry for taking so long!

Important: Well, the big paragraph made up of italics is kind of…let's say…not exactly pure, so if you don't want to read it, then I suggest you skip it. It isn't totally bad that it's a full out M, but like I said, you don't have to read it…you'd get the main idea without reading it. As one of my friends so charmingly put it, it's snogging without clothing. You have been warned.

Destiny, Interrupted

Chapter Nine

Christmas Tidings

Part Two: Keeping Promises

Harry woke up with a moan. His head was killing him and his stomach felt like it was going on a roller coaster. He buried his head into his pillow. Slowly he lifted his head. When had he crawled into a bed? His head spun a little when he lifted it, but when it settled, he realized he was in a room. The room was large with what book shelves on practically every wall. There was a desk, a closet and a dresser and two doors. The walls looked maroon with gold trim. Slowly, he moved his head and looked beside him, sitting up slightly in the process. There he saw the prettiest boy he'd even seen, sleeping. His long black hair was messy, and some of it was in his face. His face was perfect to Harry's eyes and even his neck, which had a diamond choker around it. He looked down and saw that he was sleeping of his stomach and had a dark green blanket covering his bottom half and the upper half was exposed skin, with a few scars that his muddled mind couldn't think of how they got there.

Slowly, he started to remember how he got there. It was a little fuzzy and he didn't want to remember at this moment, so he just stared at the boy, who he now remembered was Sirius.

He didn't know how long he stared at him, but slowly the other boy woke up with a moan and buried his head into a pillow. A few moments later, Sirius lifted his head and looked around with a confused expression on his face. He turned to Harry and stared at him. Suddenly, he brought his hand up to his forehead and started rubbing his temples. "I'm going to have to get a potion before I even try to think on this." He muttered out and slowly sat up on the corner of the bed.

When he stood up, Harry blushed and looked away. He had just seen the backside of a naked Sirius. Sirius seemed oblivious to that fact and walked a little wobbly to a door. He opened it and it lead to a bathroom. As he opened a mirror door and looked around, Harry sat up completely and leaned back against the wall on the side of the bed. He closed his eyes and waited for Sirius to come back so his head ache would go away and the funny feeling in his stomach that didn't only have to do with his alcohol consumption.

"Damn." Sirius muttered and Harry opened his eyes a crack to see Sirius slamming the mirror shut then rubbing his head from the noise. He walked back and sat on the bed. "Of course there's no Sobering Potion in here…" He looked around and looked on the floor. He picked up a wand, most likely his. He crawled over and leaned on the wall next to Harry. He pulled up a blanket, laying it on his legs and such. Harry smiled a little at that. Harry leaned his head on his shoulder and Sirius smiled. "Hold on a sec…" he said then muttered something while tapping Harry on the head with the wand.

Suddenly, it felt let someone had dumped a bucket of ice cold water on his head that slithered down to his toes. When the cold went away, so did the achy head and stomach, though he still felt a little cotton brained. Sirius muttered it again, only this time to himself. He shivered then sighed. "I hate doing that…the potion is so much better…"

Now that he was having any after effects of alcohol, he had to think. Slowly, he looked down at himself and looked at the boxers he was wearing. They were dark blue with gold stars. "These aren't my boxers…" Harry said slowly.

"Hm?" Sirius said and looked down at Harry. "They aren't mine either."

Harry blinked and shook his head, glancing down at his wrist. He looked quizzingly at it for there was his tie wrapped around. He shook his head again. "That isn't the important thing at the moment."

"Finding whose boxers you're wearing isn't important?" Sirius asked and Harry shook his head with a slight shudder.

"We need…"

"Nothing happened." Sirius interrupted.

Harry looked up and him. "You sure?"

Sirius nodded. "I pretty much remember and you'll probably remember after I remind you." Harry nodded. "Well, what my fuzzy memory can comprehend, I kept my promise."

"Wha'?" Harry asked.

Sirius nodded. "Remember yesterday, I promised you that I would kidnap you and we would strip?"

"Yes…vaguely…" Harry answered.

"As you said, that isn't very important right now; other then I always keep my promises." Sirius leaned his head back against the wall and Harry cuddled a little closer. "After I stole you away, we snogged all the way down the hall and I opened the door, and we fell in…" He trailed off and Harry started to recollect what had happened…

Harry stumbled into a room as Sirius followed in and closed the door slowly, turning around and grinning at him. Harry grinned back as Sirius walked up to him, wrapping his arms around his waist, kissing him senseless. Harry put his arms around his shoulders as Sirius slowly moved them backwards. Harry felt something hit the back of his knees. He pulled his head away and turned to see that there was a bed. He turned back, saw that Sirius was grinning and was pushed backwards onto the bed. Harry pushed up on his elbows and watched as Sirius crawled on hands and knees, his skirt hiked up above his knees, up over Harry. Sirius straddled Harry and smiled seductively. Harry winked back. The older male lowered his head, meeting the red heads' lips. Sirius gently pushed Harry back flat onto the bed and kissed his jaw and down to his throat. There, he started to tease his neck and undue his shirt. It didn't take long, even in his slightly loopy state, for Sirius to take off Harry's shirt completely. From there, Sirius proceeded to kiss and tease the rest off his upper body while untying his tie.

Slowly, Sirius sat up and started to pull off his dress. When that was fully off and on the floor, all he had left on was a pair of blue boxers. Harry grinned. "And I was half expecting panties."

Sirius grinned back and laid down on his chest, moving his arms up to Harry's hands. "I was thinking about it…" Harry grinned then frowned, leaning his head backwards to look at his wrist.

"Sirius, what are-" he stopped, seeing that Sirius was busy tying his wrist with his tie. "Why are-"

Sirius kissed him, cutting him off and making him forget all about what Sirius was doing with his wrist and his tie. His mind turned to mush, making him blank out on anything but what Sirius was doing to his lips and mouth. When he actually started paying attention again, only because Sirius briefly stopped so the both could breathe, he realized that he had lost his boxers and Sirius was in the process of losing his. His eyes widened as Sirius completely took it all off and straddle him again. He grinned cockily at Harry and leaned down to kiss him. Harry smiled into the kiss.

Suddenly, Sirius sat up and looked down at Harry, in which he looked up confusedly at him. Sirius blinked and turned a really interesting shade of green. He jumped of Harry and ran through a door not to far away, giving Harry a perfect view of his arse. He tried to sit up more to see what was wrong when he realized one of his wrists wouldn't come with him. He sat up on his knees and glared at the tie that attached his wrist to the bed. It took him about three minutes for him to untie it from the bed post. He stood up and swayed a bit. Slowly he walked in to see Sirius, in all his nude glory, sleeping on the toilet, because apparently he had run into the bathroom. Harry sighed. It was also apparent he wasn't going to get any that night. He glared at Sirius, debated whether to leave him there or not, sighed and walked into the bathroom. He put his arms under Sirius' armpits and dragged him back into the bedroom. From there, he dragged Sirius up the bed. He stared down at him a moment and pulled one of the blankets up over him. Dizziness started to take over Harry's head, so in his state of mind, he grabbed the nearest boxers, pulled the on and laid next to Sirius, letting the darkness take over him…

Both Sirius and Harry sighed and rubbed their heads. "I suppose that was a good thing…" Sirius said quietly.

Harry nodded his head against Sirius' chest. "I guess so…"

Sirius kissed the top of Harry's head. "Don't worry, they'll be other times."

They were quiet for a moment. "Sirius?"

"Hmm?"
"I'm just wondering…" Harry hesitated. "I mean…"

"Spit it out already." Sirius said kindly.

Harry sighed. "I was just wondering why you're taking this so well…"

"What'd you mean?"

"I mean, well, not to long ago you were against this whole thing…actually, not even twenty-four hours ago we had our first kiss…"

Sirius sighed and looked up at the ceiling. "I know…I suppose that's just the way I am. When I change my mind, I put all my being into it…it annoys some people, but that's just how I am…"

They were quiet again, like a thinking quiet, when Harry tugged on Sirius hair. He looked down at the red head and he smiled up. "I think that's a good thing, though I think we're going to have to take it slower…"

Sirius opened his mouth to answer, but there was a knock on the door. Sirius and Harry both turned to look at it. "Who's there?" Sirius asked.

"Is everyone decent?" was the reply of a familiar voice.

"Yeah Moony." Sirius replied and the door slowly opened.

When the door was fully opened, Remus was standing in the door frame, wearing blue jeans and a green t-shirt. He looked at them, around the room and back again. "I was wondering if you ever planned on getting up, because, you know it's Christmas?"

Sirius nodded. "Yeah we just woke up."

Remus shook his head and looked at Harry and sighed. "Why are you wearing my boxers?"

Harry looked down at his lap, along with Sirius. Harry blinked. "Well, that solves the boxer's mystery…"

Remus shook his head again. "I lose good boxers and bedspreads this way…" He turned, walked out the door and slowly started to close the door. "Do hurry up so I can go into my bedroom sometime today…"

With that the door closed and silenced reigned over the room for a good while before Harry looked at Sirius. "Did you know that this was his room?"

Sirius looked around and grinned. "Yupe, this is Moony's room."

Harry sighed. "Poor Moony…"

Sirius nodded. "Well, we better be getting up! It is Christmas!" He stood up, wrapping the blanket around his waist. He got off the bed and walked towards the closet. Upon opening, he rummaged through and pulled out two t-shirts, one was light blue and the other green. He threw the green one at Harry and pulled the green one over his head. It was slightly tight, but he didn't seem to mind. Next he walked to the dressers, rummaged around in the top drawer, pulled out two pairs of black jeans and threw a pair at Harry. Harry watched Sirius as he pulled the jeans on and zipped them. When he was done, he turned and grinned at Harry. "Well, you like?" Harry nodded. "Good. Now, you better get changed. His clothes will probably fit you better then they fit me…you two are about the same size."

Harry nodded again and pulled the shirt over his head. It fit rather well. Then he stood up on the bed and pulled the jeans on. They were a bit long in the legs, but other then that, they didn't fit to badly, just a little loose. "You like?" Sirius grinned and nodded. "Good…I know this might sound a little strange, but have you worn Remus' clothes before?"

"Tons of times! Generally he gives them to me because I don't bother putting boxers on. I really love already worn jeans!" Sirius said with a grin. "He'll probably take your jeans back though, 'cause you're wearing boxers."

Harry shook his head. "Never mind…let's just go." He got down from the bed and walked up to Sirius. Sirius smiled as Harry took his hand and pulled him out the door, there he started to walk to the right.

"Um, Harry?"

"Yeah?"
"They're the other way."

Harry stopped, making Sirius run into him. The shorter boy glared up at him. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Sirius grinned. "I find you trying to be assertive quite adorable."

Harry glared at him more, and half-heartedly punched him in the chest. "You're such an arse."

Sirius shrugged. "I know, but that's why you like me, don't you? For my arse?"

Harry let go of his hand and started to walk in the other direction. "Quite true. You don't have any other good qualities…the arse is the only redeeming quality you have." He turned around when he heard the other boy make an indignant sound. He smiled sweetly at the glaring Sirius, to which he smiled sweetly back.

"Well, the only reason I even decided I liked you because of your slim figure."

"And why's that?"

"You see, you seemed so taken by me that I decided I'd agree to this because your figure was so much like a girls that it wouldn't have made much of a difference."

Harry's eyes widen at him. "Excuse me?"

"You heard me."

Harry put his hands on his waist. "If what I heard is what I think I heard, then I don't think this relationship is going any farther." And with that he turned around and stalked down the hall.

Harry didn't know where he was walking. He was to busy thinking of ways to torture Sirius. 'What a complete arse!' he thought as he pushed open a door.

"Hullo Harry." Someone said and Harry looked up. He was in a room that looked very much like a kitchen and standing at the stove was Mrs. Potter.

"Hi Karen." He replied.

She smiled. "Good morning and Merry Christmas! I'm glad you finally decided to get up! Christmas breakfast is about done. Hullo Sirius."

Harry practically bristled and turned around to glare at Sirius, who had just walked into the room. "Merry Christmas Karen."

Karen nodded and smiled. "Well, everyone is in the dining room. I'll be out in a second with the food." Harry started walking in direction she indicated and he felt Sirius follow, but before they could get out the door, Karen said, "And Sirius, please try not to take all of Remus' clothes. He needs something to wear once in a while."

"Aye, aye, Mrs. Potter." Sirius said and followed Harry into the dining room.

The dinning room was large and tastefully designed with Christmas decorations. At the large table in the middle, sat Mr. Potter at the end, James on his right and Peter and Remus on his left. Harry quickly sat next to Remus and Sirius walked to the other side to sit next to James. The other four males present looked at each other…there was tension between the two boys.

James looked at Remus questionably. 'Were they liked this when you went to check on them?' he mouthed.

Remus shook his head. 'No. They seemed perfectly fine.'

Just then, Karen came out. She walked up to the table and tapped it four times with her wand. Suddenly, the table filled with plates and platters filled with breakfast delectables. "Dig in!"

No more needed to be said. The boys jumped right in, pilling their plates full of food. Karen sat down with a sigh. "Manners are becoming such a hard thing to come by now and days." But this comment went on ignored, so she shrugged and quickly grabbed some things she wanted, knowing if she didn't get them now, she's never get any breakfast.

Breakfast was a quick affair. It probably would've had a bit more manners if it weren't for the fact that when they were finished, they could open presents, or in some people's cases, go home to their families. Peter and Remus would be leaving right after breakfast to go to their respectable houses and spend Christmas with their families. They didn't go home last night, because they had stayed so late, that it would be smarter just to go the next day.

"Bye all! And Merry Christmas!" Remus said. They were all done with breakfast and Peter and Remus were now leaving through the fireplace. With that said, he disappeared into the green flames, while shouting, "John and Fiona Lupin's kitchen."

Peter smiled. "See ya! Merry Christmas!" he said and turned to the fireplace, throwing a handful of Floo powder into it. "William and Shirley Pettigrew's den."

They all watched as they disappeared. "Let's go open gifts now!" James shouted and ran to a different room. Karen and Michael followed after. Sirius and Harry looked at each other. "Harry…"

"I'm not speaking to you." He replied and followed the others. He almost forgot why he was mad at Sirius as he walked into the room. It was gorgeous. Suddenly he remembered…he had seen this room last night. The only difference was that the tree now had gifts under it. He walked farther into the room and sat down on a chair. The Potter's sat down on a couch and snuggled together. James was seated on the floor and Sirius joined him.

"Yay! My favorite holiday!" James shouted.

"Yay! My second favorite holiday!" Sirius shouted, and went to grab a gift, but James slapped his hand.

"No! I'm handing gifts out…and the first one is too…Harry!" James said with a grin and handed Harry a gift wrapped in green foil with a red bow. "It's from Lily."

Harry nodded and unwrapped the gift. It was a red book with gold embroider in very pretty writing, 'Hogwarts Memories'. He opened the pages. On the first page, in beautiful cursive handwriting, 'This is for you Harry. You haven't been here long, but you already have a lot of people who love you! Thank you for the great memories and hope you bring a lot more. Love Lily Evans'. Then the rest of the bottom page was signatures of everyone he had become friends with. He flipped through the pages and they were full of pictures of things and people he had met and things they had done. He smiled.

"We all helped Lily with that and if you look through the book better, you'll see that we all have written something to you and left comments with the pictures." James said.

Harry looked up at him. "Thank you." He really, truly meant it.

James grinned. "No problem! We all like you a lot Harry. Though some more then others…" He looked to his right and Harry followed. Sirius was pouting at the gifts like they were candy and his mother told him no. Harry smiled a little. He'll forgive Sirius soon.

The rest of the gift opening was fun. Harry got a lot of things…more then he ever gotten before and he was amused by the interactings of the other four. They had finished opening gifts and they were put in their respectable rooms. The rest of the afternoon was full of fun games with all involved. They had a small lunch, since Karen informed them that they would be having a large dinner. The three seventh years played games as the two adults started in on making dinner…

James sat up and looked at the two other occupants of the room. The tension was killing him and he didn't even bother to put a name to what kind of tension. "Hey, I got to go to the bathroom. Be back in a bit." He stood up and ran out of the room before the looks on either of their faces changed his mind.

Sirius and Harry watched him leave, then slowly moved their heads to look at each other. Sirius looked down at his feet with a slight blush. "I'm sorry Harry…"

Harry smiled briefly then had a serious face in place. "Whatever for?"

"For earlier…I was kidding about not caring and that you looked like a girl…you definitely look like a boy and I wouldn't like you any other way."

Harry smiled and leaned over, placing a kiss on his forehead. "I know…I wasn't exactly being nice either. I didn't take it to heart you know."

Sirius looked up at him, startled. "You didn't?"

Harry shook his head. "Nope."

"Then why did you do it?"

"I find your squirming to be quite adorable." He said, using Sirius' words from earlier.

Sirius pouted. "So mean…" Harry just grinned at him and suddenly, he wasn't sitting up anymore. He was now flat back on the ground with a grinning Sirius on top of him, his long hair framing his face.

"What are you doing?"

"Giving you a Christmas you won't soon forget…" he said before kissing Harry. It was a wonderful kiss and it was getting quite good, seeing as Sirius now had his tongue down his throat, but oxygen is needed in these sort of situations, so the older boy pulled away and rested his forehead against the others. Harry smiled and Sirius smiled back. They were both breathing heavily. "Did I do it?"

Harry nodded and leaned up to kiss his nose. "I think you did…"

"Ahem…" someone said and they both moved their heads to see who was 'aheming' them. It was James. He was standing in the doorway with a blush adorning his face. "You two, why don't you just go find a room or something and spare me the images?"

Sirius smiled. "Because you know you like it." With that said, he bit Harry's neck.

James raised an eyebrow. "Uh huh…you can keep on believing that…" Harry grinned. This was definitely turning out to be a good holiday. "Now, will you please get off him?"

"No."

"I asked you nicely."

"And I said no."

James narrowed his eyes at him and was about to shout when, "Dinner's done!" James looked in the general direction of the voice and then looked at Sirius.

"You're lucky."

"I know I am…I got Harry and you don't."

James opened his mouth, thought better of it and shook his head. "Sometimes you scare me." And with that, he walked away.

Sirius looked down at Harry. "Ready to eat?"

Harry grinned. "I'm not starving…"

Sirius smiled and nipped his nose. "But I am…and they'll be time for this later…"

"Alright." Harry said with a sigh. Sirius got up and offered his hand to Harry, who took it. Harry let Sirius lead him to dinner. They all sat down and it was fun. There was delicious food and lots of laughter and talking. Afterwards, the boys decided to have a little sleepover in the living room. It was definitely Harry's best Christmas ever…
