Day fifteen! Still going! I just want to thank everybody for all the reviews and keep em coming please!


The necklace was perfect, a simple thick gold band and a breathtaking blue sapphire set in matching gold. It would look beautiful on-

"What are you looking at Remus?"

"Huh?"

Sirius peered over his shoulder staring into the jewelry store window.

"That's a pretty necklace. Are you going to buy it?"

For a moment Remus sputtered, staring at Sirius with his mouth open before he pointed shakily at the price tag.

Letting out a low whistle Sirius nodded.

"I see now...enough window shopping anyway! I heard Honeydukes is having a sale."


"Okay everyone!" James said louder than he really needed to, as he clambered on top of the train seat, "it's now Marauder Morning Present Time! Everybody get your presents out!"

Rollings their eyes all the Marauders dutifully dug around in their trunks and pulled out they're shittily wrapped gifts.

"Pass 'em around!" James instructed and again, they followed with only slight smirks.

Each boy busied himself unwrapping the present they were given and ooh's and ahhh's went around with the customary Marauder thank you of either a slap on the back, a nuggie, or an actual thank you. The third one was rare.

Remus carefully unwrapped the slim box Sirius had handed him and opened it.

"What?!" He shoved the lid back on quickly and looked up at Sirius who just laughed.

"Aww..." He cooed, "you don't like it?"

"Sirius...if this is some kind of joke..."

Sirius ignored him smirking, "Well, if you don't like it I won't be offended if you re-gift it."


Remus tapped his foot impatiently as his Mother's hand skimmed over the pretty gold wrapped box, eventually he gave up.

"That one Mum."

She laughed at his tone and picked up the box, tearing away the paper and opening it up.

"Oh Remus!" She gasped, carefully pulling out the thin gold necklace, "It's beautiful, help me put it on."

"Sure Mum." Remus said, doing up the small clasp. The necklace was indeed beautiful, it wasn't the one he had been staring at in the window, but it was similar. It was beautiful, Remus thought to himself, but his mother was more beautiful as she beamed at him, her smile lighting up her eyes in happiness.


Dear Sirius,

Hope your Christmas is going well and your parents are alright. How's James? I haven't heard much from his recently, Peter seems to be pleased with his vacation in Paris though (I suspect it's the food). Thanks for the Christmas gift too, when you first gave it to me...I honestly thought it was a joke, that you were making fun of me or something. But then I realized what you meant...and just thanks Sirius. You're brilliant, you really are. And yes, that is in writing, and yes, I will put my signature at the end of this, and yes, I will regret this horrible I'm sure...but oh merlin, you should have seen the look on my Mum's face Siri, it's was amazing. So thanks again, I mean it.

Love,

Remus
