The Perfect Christmas Day
Lily woke up to the sound of Harry laughing, along with a deep HO HO HO of an unrecognizable voice. She sat up quickly, not seeing James, and immediately concerned they had an intruder. She grabbed her wand and ran downstairs in her nightdress. She cast a quick Locomotor Mortis on the room when she went down, not even seeing who it was. Her eyes widened when she saw what she had frozen. She saw her son on the lap of a fattened and dressed up Sirius, Remus sitting next to them dressed as an elf, and... A large stag standing on the other side of the couch.
"JAMES! WHAT HAVE I SAID ABOUT BEING A STAG IN THE HOUSE!" She exclaimed, disabling the charm. Harry started whining and Lily went over and picked him up. "It's okay sweety, Mommy just got nervous." She said to him softly.
Sirius laughed and stood up. "C'mon Evans, who did you think it would be? We thought we'd give Baby Prongs a little Christmas surprise, with Daddy Prongs being himself." He said with a smirk as James changed back and put his pants on.
"Merry Christmas Lily." James said with a grin, going over and kissing her cheek, playing with Harry's hand.
She sighed and smiled, realizing how nice of a moment she had ruined. "Merry Christmas James. You too, boys." She said to Remus and Sirius. "I'm sorry I ruined that." She said quietly, her face falling.
James smiled and rubbed her back. "No, don't worry about it. We were like that for about half an hour, just waiting for you to wake up. I should have let you know." He said to her. He waved his wand and a cup of coffee came over and he handed it to her, taking Harry in his arms.
She smiled and kissed his cheek, taking a sip. "Thanks love. Now... You haven't opened any gifts yet, right?" She asked them.
They all shook their heads in unison, Harry just laughing and looking up at his dad.
"Good, well, let's get started!" She said happily, going over and sitting next to the tree. James set Lily down in her arms and sat next to her. They handed out gifts for about an hour, then after Lily grinned and leaned back on her hands. "Well, how about you boys go back to what you were doing before I woke up and charmed you all, and I'll take some pictures." She said happily.
The boys grinned and she handed Harry to Sirius as Santa. "How about you sit on my lap next, lassie." Sirius said with a smirk.
"Oi, watch it mate." James said, before going behind the couch to transform.
Lily giggled and grabbed her Muggle camera and the Wizard camera that James had got her for Christmas. She watched as her husband, as a deer, stood next to Santa and his helper elf. She laughed at the scene and took some pictures, realizing that this was a perfect Christmas, and she would never forget it. This will be a tradition to live for a while...
Okay I sweaaarrrrrrr that's it. I just had to give a Christmas surprise! I hope you are all having a fantastic holiday, for whatever you celebrate, or even if you don't celebrate at all! I hope you enjoyed my OTP enjoying their very own Christmas. Like in the story, maybe this will be a tradition for a while! Well, I'm off to see family and just be surrounded by happiness and fun (and presents, let's be real here), so I'll talk to you all sometime soon! Let me know if you have any ideas of things I should do next! xxoo, Emma
