So...I'm a day behind, this was meant for yesterday and I'm barely making today...but eh. Still posting.

And no reviews! Come on guys! Not even one... :(


"Oi Black! What are you doing?"

"Playing a nice game of chess, what does it look like?" Sirius snapped, scowling at being interrupted. He had been in a bad mood for days and after a multitude of ideas James had finally figured out a way to fix it.

"Why aren't you packing?"

Sirius ran a frustrated hand through his hair and growled. A sure sign that shit was about to go down.

"I'm not packing because I'm not going home. Because my parents banned me from my own fucking house! Remember?"

Ignoring his friends tone James waved a hand impatiently and continued with his train of thought as though he hadn't been interrupted. Something only James could do, one of the main reasons he was doing the talking here and not Remus or Peter.

"But you need to pack, the train leaves in an hour. My parents would be terribly disappointed if we were late."

"I...what?"

"My house, Christmas? Remember?'"

"No I don't fucking remember! Because we never talked about this James!"

James pushed his glasses up his nose, "oh yeah...well we're talking about it now."

"You can't just up and decided to drag people to your house for winter break Potter!"

"Are you coming or not?"

This was the defining question. A thick silence filled the air as Sirius glowered at the other Marauders. The offer had been made, now it came down to Sirius...and whether or not he would let his pride slide for his happiness.

"I'll need my Beatles' shirt back Prongs." Sirius said stiffly as he shoved Remus away from the stair case. James beamed and practically bounced after his friend, giving Remus and Peter a broad smile as he passed them.

"This'll be awesome! You won't regret it Sirius, I swear. We'll play quidditch and make biscuits and-"

Sirius paused at their dormitory door, tucking his long black hair behind his ear.

"I know James...it'll be great." He said softly, giving his friend a small smile. But it was a real smile, something that James and the rest of the Marauders hadn't seen in a while.

"It'll be great." Jame agreed, throwing an arm around his best friend's shoulders. "Come on, I'll help you pack."


Please leave a review! I'll love you forever if you do!
