I'm alive! I realized that I probably should update more often, I'll try, I swear!
CHAPTER 9
Disclaimer: We went over this already, I don't own anything.
Remus's face appeared in front of the camera,
"Hello! It's Christmas!" He said in a whisper, "We have, well I have a christmas tradition where I wake them up at 5 in the morning, here goes,"
Remus took his wand out, and got out green ear muffs, then blasted a firecracker in the roof of the common room, Sirius and James sat bolt up right and pulled out their wands, but sighed after realizing it's only Remus, Peter only stirred and turned over,
"How does he manage to sleep through that?" Remus asked after he took his ear muffs off,
"I have no idea, but in the first year he didn't even budge, so I guess it's getting better,"
"I hope, it's going to be dangerous for him if he doesn't wake up when there's a explosion,"
Then the three boys saw the presents gathered at the end of their beds and forgot all about waking Peter. James's pile is definitely the largest, followed by Sirius, then Peter, Remus got pitifully less, but he has 2 large parcels wrapped in Gryffindor colour to make up for the others.
"Cool!" James unwrapped a book,
"Did you just say cool to a book?" Remus asked, and he squatted beside James to look at the book,
"Book of Pranks..." Remus read, "The ultimate guide to creating chaos and hilarity..."
"Who is it from?" Sirius asked, reading over James's shoulder as well,
"It doesn't say..." James seems almost serious for a sudden but flung it aside to unwrap his chocolate cauldrons and chocolate frogs.
Sirius opened the first parcel and found it full of howlers,
"Howlers for sale!" Sirius yelled sarcastically, and begin opening all of them at the same time,
"DISGRACE TO THE BLACK FAMILY...GRYFFINDOR,HOW DARE YOU...ERASED FROM THE TREE...DISGRACE...TRAITOR...PUREBLOOD..." the heap of Howlers all yelling at the same time is very loud, loud enough to wake Peter,
"The usual?" Peter asked from his position on the bed, tearing open one of the only 4 presents he has, "Yeah! Hagrid's rock cakes!"
"He's the only one who likes them," Remus said to the camera, and the three of them all tossed their rock cakes to Peter, a tradition they had acquired throughout the years of rock hard rock cakes.
"And once again, I have the most presents!" James announced after he unwrapped his chocolate and presents, he got enough chocolate frogs for him to have 5 sets of the famous wizards cards, and enough books about quidditch to last 3 years.
"I would've gotten more if I didn't come to Grryffindor, but I'd rather not get presents than get sorted into Slytherin," He seems to shudder with disgust every time he thinks of the possibility of going into Slytherin.
"James, you got one more," Remus pointed to a smallish parcel wrapped with pink frilly paper,
"Who on earth would send me presents wrapped in pink paper?" James asked himself, but picked up the parcel all the same.
The boys crowd around James, it's very unusual for him to get presents wrapped in colors other than red or brown, James tore the pink paper apart and stood gapping at the contents inside. Inside, is a set of white lace girl's underwear,
"WHAT?" The four boys said together,
"James? I'm almost scared to ask, but who is it from?" Remus asked tentatively,
"I dunno," James shoved the underwear in Remus's arms to retrieve the note from the floor, but Remus shoved it back once he got back up,
"Dear Lily,
You forgot these at home, these are your favorites so I figure I could send them to you,
Mom." James read out loud,
"Lily? Lace?" Sirius shouted in disbelief, "I never thought..."
Just then, the owner of these undergarments stormed into the room with a red face, looked at the four boys and finally looking at the clothing in James's hands, with a face redder than her hair, she snatched it from the speechless James's open hands then dropped a rewrapped brown parcel in James's hands before running off.
"They delivered it wrong?"
"I think so,"
"What's in there that caused Evan's red face?"
"Let's see,"
James opened and saw one of his black boxers with a note similar to Lily's,
"Black and White, Black and White!" Sirius shouted and after a good laugh on part of all four boys, they got dressed in homemade sweaters and walked out.
They met Lily in the common room, and her temper flared up again, not only because that she's so embarrassed from receiving James's underwear and was even more embarrassed when James saw her's, she's angry because James doesn't seem to mind it one bit.
"Black and White!" Sirius shouted, and Lily's face lit up, much to the confusion of casual onlookers.
Thank you guys so much for all the reviews!
