Chapter 2

First Christmas at Godric's Hallow

"Lily," said James.

"Yes," said Lily.

"Sirius is coming for Christmas as is Remus," said James.

"Alright," said Lily getting up from the couch and heading to the kitchen to get something to eat." Let's see no… no… no… no… yes," said Lily as she sifted through the cabinet.

"You wouldn't normally eat that you know," said James as he came into the kitchen.

"It's not my fault I have cravings," said Lily.

"I know," said James," but I think it's funny."

"It's not funny James I'm still worried," said Lily.

"I know I know I'm worried to," said James walking over to her.

"How are we going to get our Christmas shopping done," asked Lily.

"I have already solved that my dear Lily," said James.

"You have," said Lily.

"Yes I do think sometimes Lily," said James.

"Well that's good to know," said Lily.

"Is that an insult," said James.

"No," said Lily.

"Good well I'll show you how," said James leading her into the living room," we will get our Christmas shopping done through the mirror and Sirius can actually get the gifts and we can enjoy our company afterwards."

"Good," said Lily.

"All right now I'm going to have Sirius get your gift so shoo," said James.

"Ok," said Lily going upstairs.

"Sirius," said James into the mirror and Sirius' face appeared on the mirror.

"Yeah Prongs," said Sirius.

"I need you to do my Christmas shopping," said James.

"Can I do it tomorrow I'm busy at the moment," said Sirius.

"No you can't," said James.

"Ok," said Sirius.

"Thanks Padfoot," said James.

"Welcome so what do you want to get Lily," asked Sirius.

"I was thinking some jewelry," said James.

"Ok," said Sirius.

"Go to that one place across from Fortescue's it looks nice," said James.

"Alrighty then just hang on a mo and I'll be there," said Sirius.

"So," said James," you there?"

"Yeah," said Sirius.

"Good now ask the person at the register if you can look at some necklaces," said James.

"Ok," said Sirius walking over to the counter," I need to buy a necklace."

"Oh all right I'll just go get them," said the man. A few minutes later the man came back with about thirty velvet boxes teetering dangerously and threatening to fall." Here you are sir."

"Thank you," said Sirius as he opened one to find a gold chain necklace with a phoenix pendant on it," what about this one Prongs?"

"It's nice but no," said James.

Sirius closed the box and opened another one to find a silver chain necklace with a serpent pendant on it," you won't want this one that's for sure," said Sirius closing it.

"What was it?"

"It had a serpent on it."

"Oh."

"How 'bout this one," said Sirius as he showed James the necklace.

"Perfect Lily will love it."

"Ok," said Sirius," I'd like to buy this one how much?"

"One hundred Galleons fifteen Sickles and one Knut,' said the shop-keeper.

"Wow," said Sirius pulling out the money and setting it on the counter.

"I'll pay you back Padfoot," said James.

"Ok," said Sirius taking the necklace and leaving the shop.

"Bring it when you and Moony come over here for Christmas," said James.

"Ok," said Sirius," I'm out," and his face disappeared.

"Lily," said James as he climbed the stairs.

"Yes," said Lily wrapped in a towel coming out of the bathroom her hair wet.

"You know your beautiful when you just get out of the shower right," said James completely forgetting why he came up there in the first place.

"Yes you have told me every time I get out of the shower," said Lily.

"So, at least I make you feel special," said James as he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her softly on the lips.

"So what did you come up here for originally," asked Lily after they broke apart.

"I don't know," said James.

"Short term memory loss," said Lily as she walked into their room to get changed.

On Christmas Eve Sirius and Remus spent the night in the guest rooms.

Christmas morning brought anything but cheer.

"SIRIUS I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" screamed Lily as she ripped off the covers and tore after Sirius even though she was freezing.

"Lily it was just a joke sweet Merlin," said Sirius as he ran from Lily.

But Lily wasn't listening she charmed objects to fly at Sirius and hit him over the head and neck.

"OW OK LILY I GIVE OK I'M SORRY," shouted Sirius so that everyone could hear him.

"Thank you," said Lily as she took the charm off the objects and they fell to the floor.

"Now can we open presents?" asked Sirius like he was a child.

"Alright just let me get changed alright," said Lily and she left the room to go get changed.

After everyone got dressed they opened their presents.

When Lily opened James' present she gasped. "Oh James it's beautiful," she breathed.

"I'm glad you like it," said James and she kissed him.

"Enough mushy stuff," said Sirius gagging.

"Fine," said James as they broke the kiss.

They finished opening their presents. They had fun laughing at each other and at Sirius when Lily hit him over the head. When four o'clock came around they were having a wrapping paper fight mainly between James and Sirius. Sirius threw a paper ball at James but he dodged it and it hit Remus instead so Remus threw it back at Sirius. Then Remus threw one at Sirius and he ducked and it hit Lily so she threw one at him and all four were having a great time. When five thirty rolled around Lily decided to start dinner. So she went into the kitchen and three hours later she called the boys in to help set the table.

Dinner consisted of turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, and many other things.

"Lily dinner was great," said James as he grasped her hand and smiled at her.

"Thank you," said Lily as James kissed her cheek.

"Yes it was delicious Lily," said Remus smiling.

"Yeah it was Lils," said Sirius.

Lily glared at Sirius for calling her that. And James laughed at Sirius.

"I think we should open a bottle of fire whiskey," said James.

"Sure," said Sirius.

"Alright," said Remus.

"Fine but we won't drink to much," said Lily as James wordlessly summoned a bottle of it. James opened the bottle and poured some for everyone.

"To a wonderful Christmas," said James raising his glass.

"To a wonderful Christmas," agreed everyone and raised their glasses as well.

They drank their fire whiskey and eventually they got drunk, even Lily.

Two hours and five bottles of fire whiskey later James was begging Lily to come up to their room after Sirius and Remus left.

"Nope," said Lily.

"Please Lils," he begged with a puppy-dog face on.

"Fine," she said getting up and stumbling to their room.

James grinned and followed her. When they got to their room they did something unspeakable.
