And here's number five! Please leave a review!
"I just don't know what to get him! I always get Remus books, and I get you whatever."
James paused to look at his friend, Sirius was wearing his thick black fur lined cloak and a fur hat. He looked terribly like the rich snobby pureblood heir that he was supposed to be, but he also looked warm.
Once again James cursed himself for choosing a cheap but cool looking cloak instead of the expensive fur lined one his mother had recommended.
Sirius cocked his head, eyebrows raised as he laughed.
"You get me...whatever?"
"Not like that. You know what I mean."
"No, I actually don't. Please elaborate Prongs."
"I mean I never have a problem thinking about what to get you. And you bloody knew what I meant you just wanted to hear me say it."
Sirius winked and brushed some snow from his eyelashes.
"Guilty, what about pranking supplies. Those are always a good backup gift."
James eyed Zonkos up the road carefully.
"But I already got all of you pranking supplies, I'll just look like a bastard if that's all I get him."
Sirius nodded understandingly and quirked his lips at his violently shivering friend. After a long moment of comfortable silence he opened his mouth then closed it.
"What?" James asked curiously.
"No I just...was thinking..." Sirius trailed off, his cold gray eyes breaking away from James'.
"And...?" James prodded carefully.
"No...maybe you should get him something that he can share..." Sirius said softly, eyes downcast.
"That he can share?"
"Yeah...like a new chess set or something...something he can do with his little sister. I think he'd like that, spending more time with her."
"I...yeah sure. If you think he'll like it."
"He will." The conviction in Sirius' voice shook James a little and he gave his friend a long look.
"Regulus is staying at the Castle for Christmas this year isn't he?"
Sirius nodded, tucking his shaking hands inside his cloak.
"We should invite him up to the dorm sometime, he could hang out with us."
"I don't know if he'd like that."
"You'd like that though." It was a statement, not a question. Sirius didn't even bothered answering, James could read him like a book, annoying as it was sometimes.
"You'll ask him?"
Sirius let out a muffled groan nodded.
"Course. Come on, let's get you a butterbeer and then hit Lizzy's Pawn shop before heading back to the Castle."
James nodded furiously.
"Yes please!"
So...review!
