Jennie giggled as she watched Harry talk happily to Sirius while the two of them decorated the tree in the living room. They looked so cute together.
"Jennie c'mon! Sirius steals all the glitter!"
She laughed and strolled over to her boys with a tray with cookies and hot chocolate.
"Well, hit him then!"
"Really?" said the boy and looked astonished. She ruffled his hair and grinned.
"Well, okay maybe not hit but you can always tickle him… try the sides."
A minute later the long haired wizard was howling with laughter and Jennie grinned from her place in the armchair.
"Help…"
"No way Sirius! Be a man!" she giggled and then was dragged down onto the floor and had to join the tickle fight herself, fighting to get the hands off her.

Harry was asleep; Sirius had carefully carried the boy upstairs an hour ago and Jennie had tidied up the kitchen and made tea and now they sat on the couch watching Christmas movies with the volume turned down so not to disturb the sleeping teenager upstairs. Jennie figured it had to be tiring to play around with an overgrown child all evening…
"What's on your mind lovely?"
"Just thinking about how you really are a big child", she answered fondly and Sirius gasped and looked hurt.
"That's mean!"
He pouted and she giggled and kissed him sloppily; the kind of kiss with way too much tongue and saliva, but the kind of kiss that was totally hot all the same.
"I'd love to play around here", she mumbled as he grabbed her hips and pulled her onto his lap and hugged her.
"Sounds fine", he sighed in her ear and kissed a trail from her earlobe down to the soft swell of her right breast.
"It does, right?" she mumbled and sneaked her hands into his hair when he pulled down her top and bra and placed his wonderful lips and tongue on her nipple.
"Very", he growled before biting down. Hard.

"We should creep upstairs", Sirius mumbled and drew lazy circles over Jennies back.
"Mhm", she agreed sleepily and her hair tickled his arm as she sleepily stood up, still naked, and smiled before dragging him upstairs and pushing him into bed.
"You are totally yummy… hold me!" she commanded as she slipped between the sheets and snuggled up to him.
"You're lovely. Sweet dreams."
He held her and she sighed and ever so slowly he heard her drifting off to sleep. He pondered over the recent turn of events for a while and then he too closed his eyes and slept.

"Jennie… up… please… wake…"
Jennie blinked as the voice slipped through her foggy brain. Harry. Sounding sad. She blinked once more. The boy stood by the door looking put out.
"Harry… what's the matter?" she mumbled sleepily and he sniffled.
"I can't sleep… I keep seeing things… green light and hearing stuff… laughter…"
"Oh honey come here… hey Sirius, scoot over!"
"Whazzup?"
"We're getting company, man up and move a little."
The wizard beside her yawned and groaned a little as he flicked on the light and sat up.
"Hey there little deer… trouble sleeping?"
"Yeah… look, I know I'm too big to sleep with parents but, please just tonight?" Harry begged and he looked so broken that Jennie almost bawled. Almost.
"Hah! That's bullshit kid, you're never too big to have company if you can't sleep. If it helps, I've nightmares too, so you just come here and we'll chase them away", Sirius said with another yawn and Jennie smiled fondly at him as they made room for the tousled haired green eyed boy.
"Hey… can I hold you hand?"
Jennie giggled peeked over the sleeping Harry's head at Sirius, who grinned back at her.
"You want to hold my hand? You're so sweet", she smiled and wrestled a little before managing to offer him her hand.
"Thanks lovely. I like touching you; keeps the nightmares at bay. Night again."
"Nighty night."
