"Wake up, Lily." James said, brushing Lily's cheek.

"Ten more minutes." She cried, covering her head with the blanket.

"But Lily, it's Christmas." James cried. Lily shot up and looked at him sleepily.

"Whazipresnts?" She asked. "Oh, sorry. Where are the presents?"

"In the corner," James said, pointing to the Christmas tree. Lily glanced at the tree and smiled. She ran over to the tree and grabbed a sack full of presents.

"Here." She said, handing him his present. He looked at it and then said,

"Ladies first." She nodded and ripped open her gift.

It was the self heating tea set.

"I love it, James!" She cried, kissing him on the cheek. "Now you open your present." He tore the packaging off to reveal a crate.

"Is this- firewhiskey?" He asked, stunned.

"You bet it is. And don't plan on drinking it to yourself, either." Lily said, laughing.

"Where'd you get it?" James asked.

"Hog's head. I put the invisibility cloak over it and just pranced out with it." She said smoothly.

"Oh god I'm lucky." He said, laughing.

"I am too." She said.

They were distracted when they heard a huge crashing noise.

Sirius had tried to sneak up on them in his blanket, but it got wrapped around his feet and he tumbled down the stairs.

"You alright, Padfoot?" James asked.

"Yeah." Sirius muttered.

"Well, go into the kitchen, there's something I think you'll like there." James said.

Sirius nodded and ran into the kitchen. A second later he screamed like Raven would have if she had been asked out by him. Pure delight.

"A- a- a- MOTORBIKE!" He screamed.

"Motorbike?" James asked. Lily smiled mischievously.

"It was Lauren." Lily said. "When I visited my parents the other day, Lauren showed up and we went shopping in muggle London. We went to a motorbike shop and she saw it and fell in love with it. The only thing I did was put a great flying charm on it."

"WELL I LOVE IT!" Sirius screamed, getting on it and pretending to fly it. James laughed.

"You're perfect." He said.

"I know I am." She mouthed back.

He laughed and they opened the rest of their presents.

At dinner, they all had a glass of firewhiskey and some turkey. Sirius was on his sixth glass of firewhiskey, Lily was on her fourth and James was on his second.

"Why aren't you drinking?" Lily asked.

"Somebody has to be the designated flyer." James said responsibly.

"Oh c'mon… Lighten up! It's Christmas." Sirius said, belching extremely loud.

Lily snorted in laughter.

"Oh my god. Wow. Wow. Wow." She said, moving her lips extremely fast. James looked at her, bewildered by her immature behavior.

"I think we need to put the firewhiskey away." He suggested.

"Stop the party? So soon?" She cried.

"Well, Firewhiskey has three times the amount of alcohol than regular whiskey. So that means that you would be on your twelfth glass of whiskey. And Sirius would be on his eighteenth. You're lucky you guys have magic in your blood or you'd be out cold." James stated, taking the firewhiskey and putting it in a cabinet and locking it.

Lily ran to the cabinet and cried,

"Alohomora!" and it didn't open.

"A magic cabinet. It keeps underage children out. Sadly, Sirius isn't 17 until February, and you're not 17 until May." James boasted. "And I had my 17th birthday in August."

"I hate you." Sirius said, staring at his hand. "Why do we have five fingers?"

"Because then we can give high fives to people." Lily said, clapping her and Sirius' hands together.

"Cool." Sirius said, amazed by the clapping sound.

"Lucky thing that there's a witch-o-mart right down the road." James muttered. "I better floo Remus over to watch them while I'm out."

He walked over to the fireplace and tossed in a handful of floo powder and cried,

"321 Ginger way!"

Remus' head immediately appeared in the fire.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"Can you watch the two darlings while I go to the witch-o-mart?" James asked.

"Can't they watch themselves? Why do you have to go to the market anyways?" Remus asked.

"Well, for one thing, they're drunk, and I have to get them a hangover potion. No time to brew them up one."

Remus sighed and looked around.

"Alright." He said, entering the living room.

"Okay, I'll be back in ten minutes." He said, throwing on his cloak and running down the street.

"Remus!" Lily cried, running into the living room, throwing her arms around him.

"Hi Lily. So I heard you and Sirius had a lot of firewhiskey. How was it?"

She laughed and twirled around.

"It feels so- so floaty!" She cried, dropping to the ground, unconscious.

"Shoot!" Remus cried, getting by her side quickly. "Ennervate." She came around and looked at him, not saying anything.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Remus Lupin!" She cried. "My hero!" And with that she kissed him on the lips.

At that exact moment, James apparated into the house.

"What the hell is this all about?!" He shouted, dropping his grocery bag.

"She passed out and then I bent over and revived her and she just-"

"Kissed you? Yeah right. I'm leaving!" James shouted, apparating.
