Chapter 19

Remus

"REMUS! REMUS, WAKE UP! IT'S CHRISTMAS!" Sirius yelled excitedly, bouncing on me, as I lay in my bed.

I laughed, opening my eyes. Sirius' face was inches away from mine, grinning like a six year old at...well, at Christmas. I wrapped my arms around his neck, dragging him forward. Gently and slowly – since I was still waking up – I pressed our lips together. Of course, Sirius being Sirius he deepened it. I couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.

"What's so funny?" Sirius asked grinning, pulling back slightly.

"Nothing." I smiled.

"You feel awake now?"

"Almost."

"Can you hurry up?"

"Since it's Christmas...yeah, I can."

Sirius' face brightened up again, and for the second time started bouncing up and down. His animagus form fit him perfectly.

"Boys! Breakfast is ready!" mum called up the stairs.

That was enough to get me out of bed and running downstairs, dragging Sirius behind me.


I had always loved Christmas, ever since I understood what it was all about. So, when I was about...three. What I hated was when my 'fury little problem' came around at the same time...luckily, that was not this year.

It was safe to say that Sirius was more than surprised when he saw the mound of presents for himself – some from mine and James' parents, some from our friends, some from me. Sure, he was used to getting presents from my parents, but this was the first time he had gotten them while with me. I will admit, I did laugh at him...which resulted in him attacking me. It was a lot of fun actually...until my parents caught us, because then it was just embarrassing. But they just laughed, shaking their heads.


Everything had been opened within ten/fifteen minutes. Mainly Sirius and I both tended to get a little excited when opening them, just like the six year olds we were at heart. It was after everything had been opened – and after we had cleared up from the wrapping paper fight...don't ask – that my parents slipped out of the house to go...well, I don't know where they went, they never said. So, Sirius and I were left alone, in my house, on Christmas, on the sofa watching TV and drinking hot chocolate – I couldn't resist its chocolate-y goodness.

"Oh, I almost forgot!" I grinned, leaping off of the sofa – after putting the chocolate-y goodness down...wouldn't want to spill the precious.

I practically dived under the Christmas tree, reaching behind it to retrieve the packages I hid expertly. I pulled the packages out, hiding them behind my back as I made my way to sit next to Sirius again.

"Happy, late, birthday." I told him, passing him the two packages. "Thought it would be better than giving you them at school."

Sirius' birthday was in the middle of September. On his actual birthday, I did say he would get his presents eventually...but I had left them at home when we went back to Hogwarts – which was true. Sirius smiled.

"I completely forgot about this." Sirius chuckled, putting an arm around me.

"Good thing I didn't." I replied, leaning into his side. "Open them."

I blushed as he went for the smaller of the two.

"This one is kind of a joke..." I said quietly.

"Kind of?" Sirius asked, amused.

"You'll see once you've opened it."

With that, the paper was ripped off in one swipe. Beneath the Red, blue and green stripped 'Happy Birthday' wrapping paper, and deep black square box. Sirius glanced at my, cocking an eyebrow.

"I'm not telling." I smiled coyly.

Sirius placed the box on his knee, and gently lifted the lid off. I scrunched my eyes closed, face growing redder – if possible – as Sirius barked (not literally) with laughter.

"Ok, now I know what you mean by 'kind of'." Sirius gasped out through the hysterics.

He lifted out the black leather collar that had a red dog tag around it, with 'Padfoot' engraved and filled in black. It was of course for Sirius in his animagus form...but it was large enough for when he was human too.

"Kinky bastard." Sirius whispered in my ear.

"Shut up." I whined, finally opening my eyes. "Like I said, it was a joke...it's more for Padfoot then..."

I never did get to finish my sentence, since my mouth was then occupied by my boyfriends tongue...not that I minded. When he pulled back, I didn't expect the collar to be around his neck. I smirked a little.

"Perfect fit." Sirius laughed.

"Knew it." I breathed. "Also knew it would look great on you."

"Oh is that so?"

"Of course. Now open the other one."

Sirius laughed, but tore the paper off of the other package anyway, and opening the box. His eyes immediately went wide, mouth dropping.

"How did you get these?" Sirius gasped. "They were sold out within a day!"

"Certain people owed me...this was how they payed me back." I smiled, as he looked up at me.

"You have got to be kidding!"

"Nope, not in the slightest."

"I love you, Remus. You wouldn't believe how much I love you."

"Oh, I have a feeling I do."

Sirius eyes fell back to the tickets in the box. It was the biggest game of the Quidditch season, Ireland verses America. Everybody – huge Quidditch fans anyway, like Sirius who supported the Americans – wanted to see this game. People had queued for hours to try get tickets.

"Oh, and someone else repaying me...you get to meet the team." I said. "All of them."

Sirius replied with, yet again, pressing his lips to mine. He was grinning so much; that it was quite difficult to kiss him...it was rather amusing. He had placed the boxes carefully on the table, so neither got damaged. Sirius dragged me onto his lap, wrapping his arms around me.

"You are just simply the best." he breathed.

I just started laughing.

"What?" he asked.

"I just can't take you seriously with that collar." I laughed hysterically.

"Well, you better get used to it...it won't be coming off."

"Good. I don't want it too."

Sirius chuckled breathily.

"I love you." I whispered.

"Love you more." Sirius replied.


For a while we sat in silence, arms around each other, continuing to watch TV. Well, I had put a DVD on. I still couldn't believe he had never seen The Wizard of Oz. I resisted singing along to all of the songs...I really liked the film, watched it since I was a kid.

"I like the dog." Sirius mused.

"Of course you would." I chuckled.

"What?! It's like me, cute and fluffy."

"You would say that."

"But it's true."

"If you say so."

"Well that's rude! At least I know something that you will think is cute and fluffy."

"Oh? And what's that?"

"A Christmas present from me."

"If you drop your jeans, I just might hit you."

Sirius stared at me blankly, genuinely confused. I gave him a moment to see if it would actually sink in.

"No! Why are do you always think I'm talking about my dick?" Sirius sighed, laughing. "I'll be right back, don't move."

I sat on the sofa, staring curiously after Sirius, my head cocked to the side. Where was he going? And what was this other Christmas present? It could be anything really...well, that was cute and fluffy. But Sirius didn't like many cute and fluffy things.

"Sirius?" I called. "What the hell?"

"You'll see." Sirius called back from the kitchen.

He came back out two minutes later carrying a brown box with holes pocked in the top. I heard something moving around in the box. Gently, Sirius placed the box in front of me on the floor.

"Merry Christmas, love." Sirius grinned.

Gingerly, I leaned forward, opening the top of the box.

"Aw!" I gasped.
