Christmas
"James, look at them. That's adorable"
"That doesn't look comfortable. And where did the blanket came from?"
"Shut up, Peter. At least she's not wearing her shoes. That couldn't be to comfortable to walk in all day."
"Can you two stop talking about shoes and blankets and look at them. They look absolutely adorable."
"Quick where's the camera?"
"If you three are done talking, I would like to continue sleeping." I groaned and moved to sit up when I felt two arms around my waist. I looked and saw that Sirius was still sleeping and had a small smile on his face. "What time is it?"
"It's past noon. You two slept for about 12 hours. We decided to leave you alone." Remus shrugged and sat across from us. I shook Sirius awake.
"Five more minutes." He mumbled and cuddled closer to me.
"Sirius, I want to shower and change. Move your hair out of my face"
"You like my hair." He mumbled again and smirked.
"I do but not when it's in my face. Don't make me push you" I tried to break free from his grasp but he wasn't having it.
"Shower here"
"My clothes are all dirty and I doubt that my brother has clothing of mine in his trunk. That's just wrong in so many levels. And besides, aren't girls not allowed at the boys dorms?"
"Wear some of mine or James' clothes. And technically it's members of each house. You're a Slytherin so yeah." He moved closer to me and started to fall asleep again.
"James, help me." I begged. James just laughed and tried to release me from the death grip that Sirius had on me. He didn't budge a bit.
"Sorry, sis. You're on your own here." He shrugged and sat back down. I rolled my eyes and looked at Sirius. I started to stroke his hair and he smiled.
"You really want to get up, don't you?"
"Yes. This dress is starting to get uncomfortable and I want to wash my hair." He sighed dramatically and let me go. I walked over to James who sat there with a smile on his face. "Don't just sit there and look like an idiot. Show me where the showers are and give me some clothes."
James dropped to the floor dramatically and escorted me to his dorm which was surprisingly clean. He threw me some random clothing and took me to the showers.
"I'll be right outside just in case okay? I'll tell Remus to sneak into the kitchen and get you both some food. You must be starving." And with that he left and closed the door.
...
~Sirius POV~
"You're sister is taking a long time in that shower." I told James as he sat down next to me.
"Let her be. She probably didn't have the chance to shower properly at your house." James shrugged. Remus and Peter walked in carrying a tray of hot chocolate and snacks.
"Where's Jade?"
"Still in the showers. I'll go tell at her." James stood up and started to yell at his twin sister. "JADE AMELIA POTTER HURRY UP!"
"DONT RUSH ME"
"REMUS HAS HOT CHOCOLATE!"
"ILL BE RIGHT DOWN"
I heard the curtain open and some cussing words as James walked down the stairs laughing.
"I have no doubts that she fell from the shower or something." James sat down on the floor next to the fireplace and took a mug.
Not even three minutes later, Jade walked down the stairs, hair wet and wearing one of James' sweatpants and a T-shirt. Wait. Is that my shirt? James what the hell.
From the corner of my eye, I saw James and Remus smirk and Peter smiling big as she sat down next to me.
"If I have a bruise tomorrow, it's all James' fault." She took a mug and leaned back on the sofa. "Why's is everyone staring at me like that?"
"First of all, you look like a wet dog. Second of all, you seriously have no idea who that shirt belongs to?" Remus smirked at her.
"I know it belongs to Sirius, I'm not stupid. I just don't care." She shrugged and looked at me. "You don't mind right?"
"It looks better on you." I blushed a bit and James started to whistle.
"Well, tell us how was the wedding and the reason that James doesn't have any cake" Peter said stuffing his mouth with more snacks. Jade looked at me and smiled blushing. I blushed more at the memory of us dancing.
"Well-"
...
"That sounds like you both had a handful of things to deal with." James said after Jade and I finished the story. We decided to leave out the part of the dance since it's none of their business.
"You have no idea. I thought that Walburga was going to kill me when we were talking with Andromeda" she laughed.
"Yeah well, Andy isn't very liked either. That's why we get along so well" I laughed also. "I'm actually surprised that the two of you bonded so quickly."
"Well to be fair, we bonded over the fact that you're practically always in detention." She smiled and leaned on my shoulder. James smiled at this and started to get really jumpy.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Remus asked.
"Nothing, nothing. Just happy it's almost Christmas. Just a few hours left" James smiled at us and stood up. "Let's go to the feast. I'm hungry."
...
"MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU FILTHY ANIMALS" Jade woke us up by jumping in each of our beds. "Except you, Moony. You're a ball of sunshine"
"What about me?" I sat on the bed and smiled at her. "Good morning, sunshine."
"You're a slimeball, Sirius. And good morning to you too." She smiled back at me and started to pull James out of bed.
"Jade let me sleep"
"NO! It's Christmas and I got presents for you"
"Well, why didn't you say so? TO THE COMMON ROOM!" James grabbed Jade by the arm and ran towards the common room. We all laughed and ran behind them.
"Had to go to my dorm to get them. Don't ask how I got back here" she opened her bag and pulled out different gifts. We all ran back to our dorms to get our gifts and ran back to the common room.
After an exchange of gifts, this is what everybody got:
James:
Jade: a bracelet and broom polish
Me: a practice snitch and ink
Remus: a book on quidditch
Peter: broom care kit and color bombs
Remus:
Jade: chocolate, books, quills and ink
Me: a journal
James: candy of all kinds and a few sweaters
Peter: a bracelet and a new chess board
Peter
Jade: color bombs and exploding snaps
James: gobstones and dung bombs
Me: sweets and a new chess board
Remus: some more sweets and a picture of all of us
Jade:
James: books and some jewelry
Me: fireworks and dung bombs
Remus: quills, ink, a small ring and a few shirts
Peter: a framed picture of all of us at the start of third year
Me:
Jade: hair products and a bracelet
James: dung bombs and hair products
Remus: a few books and a picture of me and Jade running around by the Black Lake
Peter: another picture of all of us
"Well I must say that this is our best Christmas yet. Moony is back to his old self, Sirius and I aren't running from Walburga, and James and Peter aren't eating all the sweets yet."
"Not to mention that there's a Christmas breakfast waiting for us in the great hall." James, Peter and Remus walked towards the portrait. "You're coming?"
"We'll be right there. Jade is going to help me clean up a bit." They nodded and left. Jade rolled her eyes and waved her wand sending all the gifts to our dorm. She grabbed her jacket and went to leave but I grabbed her hand. "There's another present."
"Another? But I thought that we said no surprises this year. I still have the scar from last year" she laughed and sat down on the sofa.
"This year is different, I promise. I have a feeling that you're going to love this one." I sat down next to her and handed her a blue box.
When we were home, I walked out of my room while she was sleeping and went to the place where Mum kept all of the family heirlooms and took some jewelry that reminded me of her.
She opened the box and gasped.
"Sirius, where did you get this?"
"Let's just say that if Mum doesn't notice, I'll consider it a miracle." I laughed.
"This is absolutely beautiful, but-"
"No buts. This is a thank you for accompanying me to the wedding and for being there for me these past three years. I know you don't like flashy jewelry but that's all you'll see in the Black house" I shrugged and looked at Jade. She had slight tears in her eyes and was smiling big.
"Thank you, Sirius. Thank you so much!" She hugged me and I hugged her back smiling.
"I'm glad you like it. Here, let me put it on you" she turned around and I clasped the necklace.
"Wait until class start and your fans see me with this. They'll flip." She laughed and admired the necklace. "I can't thank you enough Sirius."
"You deserve that and more, Jade. You're an amazing person" I smiled and grabbed her hand leaving the common room and walking to the great hall.
...
"Took you guys long enough. You do know that you can use magic right?" James scolded at us when we arrived and sat down.
"Hush up, Bam Bam and eat." Jade rolled her eyes and served me some breakfast. "It's time I return the favor. Don't you think?"
"Umm Jade, where did you get the necklace? I though Moony gave you a ring?" Peter asked.
"He did. I'm wearing it." She lifted her hand and pointed at the ring on her index finger.
"James isn't one for extravagant jewelry." Remus pointed out looking at me.
"I didn't give her that. I gave her a bracelet and a small headband that I took from the Potter vault before we term started." James looked at me and smirked. "We know that Peter didn't give her that. Sirius, is there something you want to tell us?"
I went red in the face and found out that pancakes are the most interesting thing in the world.
"Leave the boy alone, James" Jade rolled her eyes and took some of his food.
"Fine. I gave her that. It's a Black heirloom that I took from the vault at home." I mumbled and glared at James. "Happy?"
"Very happy." He smiled and looked at his sister who was glaring at him also. "I know something you two don't."
"Oh yeah? What's that?" Jade challenged her brother.
"I'll tell you when you're older"
"James we are literally the same age!" She exclaimed.
"I'm still older. 10 minutes is a lot, little sister." He smirked.
"You better consider it to be a Christmas miracle if I don't kill you in ten minutes" she gave him a death glare and took the rest of his food. "This is my food now"
"That's not fair!"
"I'm your baby sister. You're supposed to take care of me" she smirked at her brother who crossed his arms like a little kid. We all laughed and teased James the rest of the day.
She's perfect.
