-A Merry Sirius Christmas-

At who knows what time, it could be dark o'clock for all I know, I am awoken by the sound of a very happy firewhiskey filled Sirius barging into the girl's room. I look at my watch. It was 6 a.m. We didn't get to bed until well after midnight and I bet Sirius didn't even go to bed.

"Wake up my loving Daughter! It's Christmas!" Sirius says before joining me on my bed and hugs me happily. "Come on! Daddy wants to celebrate with you and my best friend!" He sounds so much like me. I would of been more than happy to celebrate him right now if I wasn't so tired.

"Remus is here?" I mumble, sleep ridden. "When did Remus get here?"

"He's on his way. I flooed him to come over to keep me company with you once everyone goes off to see Arthur at St. Mungos."

"Is it presents time now?" Ginny asks, waking up.

"It's only six. Who wakes up at six on Christmas?" Hermione grumbles. "So unnatural."

"Oh sorry guys. Someone was still going on from the Christmas merrymaking from yesterday. I can't believe he's drinking some more at 6 in the morning." I say.

"It's 5 o'clock somewhere. Come with Daddy and we'll open gifts together." Sirius says, hooking an arm under my legs before carrying me out the room, sheets and all, to his bed room and sits me down on the bed next to him. I look to find my pile of gifts already at the foot of his bed. "Open mine first." He says, depositing a huge crudely wrapped package in my hands.

"Did you wrap this?" I ask, raising a brow as I turned the gift around in my hands.

"I tried, but I'm not really good with arts and crafts. Surprising fact, I couldn't convince Hermione to do it for me with my charming smile and blush inducing compliments. She refused and said you'd like it no matter how I wrapped it." He says before I shrug and tear open into his gift. A pair of Quidditch gloves falls into my lap. They looked worn and old. I pick them up and slip them over my hands. They were a little big, but with a simple spell I would be able to resize them to fit me. Sirius pulls out his wand and mutters a spell before the gloves magically fits themselves to my hands. "I didn't really know what to get you that I thought you'd like, but you are so much like your Mother so I knew it was the thought that counts and you would like whatever I got you regardless. I decided the gloves were the best bet though because I know mostly about you from the letters I have and I found out you were the new Gryffindor Seeker, so I thought you'd like something of mine from when I was on the team to give you some good luck. Sorry they're Beater gloves instead of Seeker gloves."

"These are your old gloves." I ask, staring at them in wonder as I flex out my fingers in front of me.

"Yup. Do you like them?"

"I love them. Thanks Dad!" I hug him eagerly and take in the Daddy feeling that came with it. He certainly has good hugs. "Now open my present!" I tell him after letting go to point at the flat box on the top of his pile of gifts.

"You being my Daughter is the best gift I could get this Christmas." He says, before hugging me again.

"Aww Dad." I say.

"Isn't this cute?" I hear from the doorway to see Remus standing there with his arms full of his own gifts.

"Come to join us Mooney?"

"You invited me Padfoot, not the other way around." Remus says, depositing himself in an armchair in front of the bed before conjuring up a table to put his gifts on. The three of us spend most of the morning opening our gifts together while Remus and Sirius playfully bantering with one another the entire time. I open Mr. And Mrs. Weasley's gift the same time Remus and Sirius opens theirs. I got a blue jumper with a silver stripes on it, Sirius got a black jumper with a silver 'SB' on it, and Remus got a brown jumper with red 'RL' on it. After some switching around and size changing I end up in Remus's jumper, Sirius in mine, and Remus in Sirius's. Remus got me a pair of furry tiger stripped ear muffs that was charmed to keep my ears warm, leaving me thinking he might have overheard me complaining to Ginny about how my cold ears were at the castle. I think he and Sirius liked their new cloaks with their names hand stitched into the collar from me because they immediately pulled them on over their Weasley jumpers. I got a sea blue long scarf from George, matching sea blue mittens from Ginny, a intricate turquoise hair clip from Fred, a multilingual pocket translator from Hermione, a huge bottle of mellon cucumber perfume from David and Jake, a box of thirty different magical and muggle hair lips from around the world from Derek, a frilled baby pink blouse/magenta scarf/and a pair of blue jeans from Richie and Drew, a set of peacock feather quills from Bill, a thick black notebook with silver lined black pages from Ron, a few pots of silver ink and a box of chocolate frogs from Charlie, a locket with a picture of my Mom in it from Severus, and a watch from Harry. Apart from Sirius's gloves, I think I liked Harry's gift a lot because it was an analog clock with two firebolts as hands pointed the numbers on snitches with a huge stadium background that had the sky changing colors from morning to day, and if I stared long enough I would see blurs of players flying around every so often. I hoped Harry liked my gift I got him because when I got him the leather bound lesson planner for the DA group, I got it more on impulse than out of friendship since it was during the time we were not friends. I don't know why, though Hermione would chime in to say it was probably because I didn't ever stop being his friend even though outwardly I swore I did.

"Guys." Fred says, apparating right into the room suddenly. "Mom told me to call you down for breakfast."

"Mhhhmmm breakfast, I'm really hungry for some good food." I jump out of bed eagerly and follow Fred out of the room.

"Daddy'll be right there so save a seat for me." Sirius calls after me, and I let out a laugh.

"I see you're wearing your hair clip." Fred points out.

"Yup. Sirius got finished unwrapping his gifts before I did so he started playing with my hair and picked this clip to pin my hair back with. It's really nice so thank you."

"You're welcome Noels. By the way, did you make the chocolate you got me yourself?"

"Yeah I did. I made them by hand in the kitchens at Hogwarts during my free time. Why?"

"I think I have to find a better hiding place for it now because Ron and George both wanted to have at it when they saw it. I think Harry does too by the way he was secretly eyeing the package."

"Didn't I make you a lot?"

"Yeah you did, but you 'made it' for me. It's mine and not theirs so on this I'm going to be stingy and not share it with anyone."

"Alright then. At least I know you like them."

"I love them, which is why I'm hiding them." He says and we enter the kitchen for breakfast.

Remus, Sirius, and I retire to the living room once everyone leaves for the day and I listen to them regale me on their side of life in Hogwarts.

"Before I met your Mother, I didn't have a clue of who she was." Sirius says.

"Really?" I ask.

"He rarely ever stepped foot in the Library and she wasn't exactly the type of girl who seemed to throw herself at him for attention like others in the school was doing at the time." Remus says.

"Your Dad was a hottie back then." Sirius says. "Your Mom was too, but she kept herself covered up so she flew under my radar until about fifth year."

"Fourth year." Remus corrects him, making me giggle.

"Right, fourth year. That's when she blipped and she blipped me very hard. The first time I saw her, I was searching for Snivellus-" I send him a look. "-fine, I was looking for Snape because I was bored and saw he was with a girl down by the lake, so I decided to take Prongs with me to save the girl out of her misery. I thought I was going to be her knight in golden armor until I saw she was actually talking to that prat-" Another look. "-Snape. And you know what she does? Tell her what she did Mooney." Sirius huffs.

"She cursed them both before they had a chance to embarrass Snape in front of her out of boredom."

"Exactly."

"Wow." I say in awe. "Mom was awesome. What happened next?"

"She stunned me out of association later on." Remus says. "It took me weeks of coming to the Library before she stopped giving me this 'I'm watching you look' when I hadn't really done anything. I guess its because I didn't really stop them from harassing Snape either that she was always suspicious of me until I gained her trust."

"Anyway, something happened that day while I was waiting frozen with Prongs by the lake. I didn't know if it was the way she looked with her sweater tied around her waist as she walked over to take our wands or the way she stood up for someone like Snape like that, but I found her extremely fascinating. Suddenly I changed my whole schedule just to bump into her in the halls or catch her going into the Great Hall only to miss her at every chance."

"He was worse off than Prongs was because Elaine went on acting like what happened had nothing to do with her, that he didn't even exist. It was annoying to live with really because instead of one love struck roommate, I had to deal with two. Imagine the horror that I had to face every single day just listening to them planning their futures with girls they weren't even dating at the time. They stayed up at night talking like girls about their 'future wives'. 'Lilypad yelled at me for flying a couple of first year Slytherin girls over the lake and dropping them' Prongs would mope. 'You're lucky because at least she looks at you. I swam into that lake to retrieve those monsters to get in good with my Dumblypoo for her to not even glance in my direction. What I did get was a sore foot when one of those things stomped on my foot after saving their life' Padfoot would mope back."

"That sounds awful." I giggle.

"It was. Prongs kept egging Padfoot on and on that if he didn't do something, Elaine would be Elaine Snape. So Padfoot tried even harder to get her attention long enough to ask her out, which meant that his pranks got worse. That seemed to backfire because she didn't blow up like Lily or looked down on him, she blatantly ignored him unless it concerned Snape and all Padfoot got was detentions for his troubles. If anything, it made her closer to Snape because I guess she thought he wouldn't prank Snape if she was with him all the time to protect him."

"I really thought she hated me and was in love with Snape." Sirius mopes.

"She loved him, just not like that because she saw him more as a friend." I say. "Mom didn't really hate you during that time. Whenever I asked her about my Dad, she said you were a bit it of a jerk and a player. Even then, she didn't really hate you because she thought that because she didn't know you well enough, she didn't see the need to. Then when you were trying to get her attention, she didn't think you were trying so hard for her because she thought you were going through all that trouble for a different girl. She said she didn't realize that while you were looking at the Hufflepuff table during dinner or when she was catching you staring at her table in Herbology, you were looking at her...that is until sixth year."

"Right." Sirius grins. "At around sixth year I had had enough. So I waited around all day in that Library for days before the first trip to Hogsmeade waiting for her to come alone. Then when she did finally get alone, I just walked right up to her and blatantly asked her to Hogsmeade and you knew what she did? Tell her Mooney." He huffs some more while throwing his arms up in the air this time.

"She asked him if he was asking her as a ruse to ruffle up Snape's feathers because she didnt believe Padfoot's intentions were pure, and if it was a ruse then she would hex off certain appendages of his that he would miss and throw them into the vanishing cabinet." Remus says.

"I told her I was asking because I wanted to go with her because I liked her only for her to still not believe I was interested, so it's safe to say I went to Hogsmeade alone."

"That didn't stop him though. He didn't do a Prongs and kept harassing her because he knew she wouldn't hold back if he pissed her off as much as Prongs did to Lily sometimes."

"I was just more cool about it than her. She did get the picture after I spent all of sixth and seventh year wooing her and only her. She finally broke down around the end of our seventh year. Tell her what she did Mooney." Sirius says, all smiles now.

"Well she-"

"It was a glorious Monday afternoon-" Sirius starts.

"It was Thursday and it was raining." Remus eggs in.

"-she came up to me, looking all shy like for once-"

"She had just jogged inside from the Greenhouses and was drenched actually. I hardly count that considered shy looking."

"-and your gentleman of a Daddy-" Remus snorts. "Do you want to tell the story or not?"

"This is your story, so by all means continue Padfoot." Remus gestures for him to continue. "I'll just butt in whenever he get the facts wrong again." He whispers to me.

"Anyway...where was I?"

"You were being a gentleman." I say.

"Oh right. I, the gentleman, offer her a napkin to wipe off that I swiped from Prongs. At first she rejects it, looking flustered-"

"She was red from the cold." Sirius gives Remus an even glare before continuing.

"-so I go in for the ultimate gesture of love. Before she could stop me, I very caringly wipe the rain off her cheek with my thumb, cupping her cheek in my hands." He reaches over to Remus to demonstrate the move. "She stared at me, obviously touched, and-"

"And then she sneezed." Remus laughs, pushing Sirius's hand away.

"Don't ruin it." Sirius whines.

"So what happened after?" I ask, getting into the story.

"I pulled her into an loving embrace. She was very surprised."

"She tried to push him off of her because there he was hugging her surrounded by his friends sniggering and wolf whistling at the scene he was making." Remus points out.

"But I didnt let her go. Instead, I told her I thought she was cold and needed warmth. She muttered a simple spell would have taken care of it before asking me why. Why did I bother with her. I told her she was special before I asked for her to join me to the Quidditch Stadium for a moonlight birthday dinner since everyone, but Snape and Dumbledore, had forgotten her birthday. By the end of dinner, she agreed to give me a chance and soon after that we began dating. I cared a lot about your Mom, I even asked her to come with me to Lily and James's wedding and...well you were created."

"Lucky you and me." I grin.

"Yeah. We were happy together, I wanted to marry her, but something happened and then she was gone. All I got was a note from that said she loved me, but to forget her for my own good. It was later, after we found out that Voldemort was going after Prong's family and even after they were killed, that I found out that Elaine had also been sought out to join the Death Eaters because her skills and association to Dumbledore would make her a great prize to have to serve Voldemort...only she refused, which meant she had to disappear. Snape broke off ties with her, except now I know he was only pretending, to keep her safe and Dumbledore sent her off to live in America under a guard of a close family he knew before you were born. Dumbledore said that that family stayed with the both of you for years before he thought it would be safe for them to move on. After she was killed, Dumbledore told me the truth about your birth and how you were to be staying at Hogwarts. If I had only known what happened, I would have been there for you and your Mother in an instant-"

"Mom wanted to contact you over a thousand times, but she wanted to protect you, so she cut you because she believed that was the only option. She always would talk about you, never really telling me who you were, because I guess it hurt for her to say your name." I say.

"Still, I would have been there with you to protect you and her from what had happened. After though, I wanted to immediately come see you at Hogwarts and claim you as mine but-"

"That's okay. You're here now." I smile at him.

"I would have been there as well if I had known but-" Remus starts.

"You're here now too Remus. It's okay." I say, grabbing both of their hands. It really was okay. I may not have Mom anymore, but I still have Sirius and Remus so it was okay.

"Hey Harry." I welcome him back after everyone had returned from St. Mungos and pull him off to the side. I did enjoy my day with Remus and Sirius, but now I really just wanted to talk to Harry for a little bit.

"Before you start, are you going to bug me about telling you I love you like you did all morning at breakfast?" He asks.

"It's a high possibility that I will." I tell him with a nod.

"Noel-" He groans.

"How can I not? You totally love me." I say, poking him in the ribs.

"Yeah I love you, I love you like I love Hermione or Ron."

"Oh really? How can I be on the same level as them when I haven't known you as long?" I ask doubtfully. He's known me for almost four months, he's known them for nearly five years. The scale is really tipping on one side here even though he was saying we weighed the same.

"You're very...prominent." He says, trying very hard to come up with the right word.

"So I'm important?"

"Exactly. You're very important to me."

"So not only do you love me, but I'm also important to you? You must love digging your own grave, but that's good. You know why?"

"Why?" He asks warily, stepping back.

"Because you're my friend, like Ron and Hermione, who I love too. I may not have known you as long, but that's the way it is...but-"

"But?"

"I didn't come here to only talk to you about that. I also wanted to say, something I didn't get to say the other day, that I'm glad we're friends again. It feels like we're starting over as friends, but we're gonna do it better this time. Anyway, merry Christmas Harry." I say, reaching over to hug him.

"Merry Christmas Noel." He says, hugging me back tightly. In the pit of my stomach, a metaphorical butterfly breaks out one of the cocoons to start to slowly flutter around. Oi, stop fluttering around! Stop it!

AN: A very Sirius/Remus/Noel filled Christmas ending with a little Harry/Noel fluff at the end. Hope you enjoyed it.
