Right ho! Off we go with the LAST CHAPTER (cue applause!)

Chapter 10 – It all comes out

Sirius sat there, his mind whirling, for the whole of breakfast. His brain was shouting all sorts of things at him. Sirius was used to his brain shouting things at him, but not LOTS of things at once. One half of him wanted to tell the others that Lily and James had been together all the time... the other half of him knew that James would kill him, Lily would be disappointed, and he would in the end feel bad.

He sighed, then thought, while spooning porridge into his mouth, how irritated Mya would be that he hadn't told her at once. This thought alarmed him so much that he swallowed the porridge in a huge gulp, and his mouth shouted of its own accord

"LILY AND JAM-" before clapping his own hand over his unruly mouth. "Damn," he thought "Almost blew my cover!"

But, of course, thanks to his brief outburst, everyone was staring at him.

"What about me and jam?" Lily asked, looking thoroughly confused "Do you think I have problems concerning jam?"

Sirius found this comment far more amusing than it actually was, in order to cause a diversion from his unusual yell. It didn't work. Mya hit him none too kindly on the head with a cracker to shut him up.

"What was that for?" he asked, offended.

"Tell me what you were gonna say Sirius!" Lily said exasperatedly

"NO!"

"Why?"

"Because"

"Argh! Sirius, you're so annoying!"

"You know you love me Lilyflower"

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Later in the day, Sirius was mentally beating himself up. He just couldn't keep his mouth shut. His brain and mouth were so used to thinking and saying whatever they wanted, that he found it very hard to keep secrets.

"Just till tomorrow" he thought "Then I'll tell them... No! I'll make Lily and James tell them... Mistletoe..."

Sirius smirked.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Lily was becoming annoyed.

"That is the third time Sirius has said 'Lily and jam' today!" Lily complained to Mya and James later on.

Mya laughed,

"Maybe he had a weird dream about you and jam or something?!"

Lily looked concerned, although whether it was for her safety, or Sirius' mental health, it was hard to tell

"Me and jam? What kind of weird dream would that be?"

James winked conspiratorially at her,

"You sure you want to know?!"

Lily grimaced at him

"Don't be horrible James!"

Mya sniggered, unable to control herself any longer.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The next day, Christmas morning, Sirius woke up early. He had to exercise all the self control he possessed to stop himself leaping at his presents and yelling to wake up the others. After a brief mental struggle he tripped down the staircase and into the empty common room. He pulled from his pocket a sprig of the most mischievous plant of the season. Mistletoe.

He smirked to himself as he performed a tricky little spell, and sent the mistletoe to hide, nestling itself in a dark corner.

The job done, he sprinted up the stairs, this time managing not to snag his pyjamas on the door, and leapt onto James' bed

"PROOOOOOOOOOONGS!!!"

James sat bolt upright with shock, banging heads with Sirius. This caused them both to fall off the bed, clutching their throbbing skulls.

"Oow, Sirius you bastard what was that for?"

"CHRISTMAS PRONGS CHRISTMAS!!!!!"

James' eyes flew open, immediately clear of sleepiness

"Oh yeah! MOOONYYY!" he crooned loudly over Remus' head

"Go away James"

"No"

"Yes"

"No- Padfooot, he won't get up!"

Sirius bounded over, and joined James on Remus' bed.

Remus yelled in pain as the weight on his legs doubled, and he kicked his best friends off the bed

"ALRIGHT! I'm up!"

Just as Sirius and James were standing up and dusting themselves off, the door of their dorm flew open and an electric blue and black blur shot across the room, throwing its arms around Sirius' neck.

As two more figures appeared in the doorway, it became apparent that the blur was Mya, in very bright pyjamas. Lily and Freya walked in, laughing at Sirius, who had fallen over from the shock of suddenly having Mya hanging around his neck.

"Happy Christmas!" chirped Mya, who had managed to stand up, having disentangled herself from Sirius.

The girls had brought their stockings with them, and they all sat down to open presents together.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

After they had had their breakfast they went outside and had a snowball fight.

A couple of hours later they returned. Dripping wet and shivering, they all went up to their respective dorms to get dry and warm.

Lily dried her hair with her wand, and put on a fresh jumper and jeans. Checking her makeup, she trooped down the stairs to the common room. When she got down there, she found only James sat by himself.

She sat down next to him, and his eyes flicked around the room. Then he nuzzled her neck, kissing up her neck and along her jaw. He finally landed a sweet, butterfly soft, kiss on her lips.

Lily gazed into his eyes as his finger stroked her cheek.

"I love you James"

"I love you too Lils... Happy Christmas"

And in the corner, the mistletoe began to stir...

It glided over their heads. They were completely oblivious to it.

James stood up, so did Lily.

The plant made its move, following the orders that Sirius had given it that morning.

It halted directly above Lily and James, who, still unaware that it was there, simply thought that it was their strong feelings for each other that were pushing them closer together.

Finally, forgetting where they were, and that the others would arrive at any moment, James slipped one hand to the back of her head, and the other around her waist. Lily's hands entwined themselves in James' soft, dark hair. Their lips pressed together again and again, each kiss deeper than the last.

The mistletoe jiggled in excitement, and if it had had the power to cackle it would have done so. As it was, however, it could merely continue with the splendid job that it was doing.

So when Mya, Freya, Sirius and Remus finally came down the stairs, they saw a sight that only Sirius was expecting. Sirius pretended, however, that he was as surprised as the others. He decided to exaggerate the point that he had not known anything by exclaiming

"You two have been together, the whole time?!"

The mistletoe, realising its work had been done, floated away, back to its corner. Leaving Lily and James to face the music.

They broke apart, free of the spell, and stared, sheepishly at their friends.

James turned scarlet

"Maybe..." he said guiltily.

Mya's shut her mouth as her face turned from surprised, to outrage, to amusement. As she burst out laughing, the others joined in.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It had truly been a Christmas to remember, but Lily had one last thing to do.

As she and James sat, nestled together in an armchair, she put her hand in her pocket and drew out a shallow black box.

"Here's your Christmas present" she said quietly

"What? Oh, I'll open it"

James opened the black box and saw inside, a silver watch, very simple. Just how he liked things. He turned it over, and on the back it said

Lily & James

Forever

I love you

James looked at Lily, who was smiling. He put his arms around her, and said to her

"I never thought this day would happen you know? I still wake up.. and wonder if it isn't all some twisted dream that Sirius has put in my head!"

Lily grinned,

"To be honest... I never thought this would happen either... but you know what? I'm glad it did!"

Well I hope you liked it!

I am ill and can't read very well at the moment (splitting headache) so please forgive me if there are some strange sentences that don't quite work! (;
