I do not own anything except for my original content and what not.

"Little darling, it feels like years since it's been clear. Here somes the sun, here somes the sun, and I say it's alright." sang Josephine as she took her nightly shower. As she washed the shampoo out of her hair, she began to think about Christmas. It was only a few weeks away and she wasn't sure what was going to happen. She knew she couldn't go home, but none of her friends were staying at the school, so she would be all alone. Which, in a word, sucked.

'I guess ole Dumbles and Minnie will be here.' she thought. 'Even Andie is leaving me, I think I'm scared for the first time since I was a baby. I don't like it.' When she was done showering, she dressed and came out into her room only to be greeted by a mass of firey red hair.

" What do you want Evans?" she asked tiredly.

"What do I want? What do I want? Oh, really like you don't know."

"Umm, yeah?"

"Well if you are going to insist on playing the innocent, then I will just leave, but mark my words Josephine Hayworth, you'll pa for this one." After Lily had stormed off to her bed, Josephine ran down to the common room, hoping that one of her friends was down there to help her make sense of that exchange. Upon entering the room she discovered that Sirius was the only one present at the moment. Josephine shrugged and walked over to her favourite chair and plopped down in it.

"Hey Black."

"Hey Hayworth, haha hey hay! That's funny!"

"Oh, haha." came her sarcastic reply.

"What's up?"

"Lily just freaked out on me for no reason. I was comping out of the loo and all of the sudden she rounds on me and starts going on about how I'm 'going to pay.' It was surreal."

"Umm, I might know why that happened."

"WHAT!"

"Well, yeah. You see, James and I thought it was downright deplorable the way Snape treats you, so we thought that we'd get a bit of revenge, yeah?"

"What kind of revenge?"

"We may or may not have dumped a bucket of soapy water on his head and it may or may not have contained pink dye and itching powder."

"So that must be why Lily thought I did something."

"Yeah, I guess." replied Sirius reluctantly.

"So you guys really did that for me?"

"Of course, who else would we do it for?"

"I...you guys...thanks." stuttered Josephine.

"It was no big deal. I'm just sorry that you've got Evans after your throat now."

"Pshhh, it's fine, it's not like she wasn't already."

"Why does she hate you so much?"

"On the train over here she and Snape barged into our cabinet to get away from you guys and she was very rude and had an attitude, so I gave her a taste of her own medicine and apparently she didn't like it."

"That's a stupid reason to be terrible to someone."

"Oh well, it is what it is, now, isn't it?"

"Wow, that was a lot is and it!"

"It's a talent."

"Definitely." grinned Sirius.

"Are you staying for Holidays Josie?" Josephine took a happily surprised minute to respond. The reason for here shock you see, was because that was the first time Sirius had ever addressed her by her first name let alone her nickname.

"Umm, what? Oh, holidays, yeah I am. My uh, parents wanted me to stay here."

"Oh, okay."

"Yeah...so, are you excited to be going home?"

"I...guess so." replied Sirius as an awkward silence settled in and made itself comfortable.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow. Okay Sirius?"

"Okay Josephine. Goodnight."
