prompt 12: secret santa
Mary suddenly came rushing into the room. “Let’s do secret santa!”
“What?” Sirius asked.
Lily gaped. “You don’t mean secret santa is only a muggle thing!”
“No!” Sirius said. “But why? We’ve never done it before.”
“You’ve never done it before. The girls and I do it every year.” Lily said.
“Yeah!” Marlene said. “It’s awesome!”
“Why not.”
“Sounds like fun.”
“Sure!”
“Okay.”
“I’m in.”
Responded the four marauders and Frank.
“Yay!” Mary said. She held out 10 chits, which looked like they had been made minutes ago, and a little Santa hat. Mary kept the chits inside and gave one to every one.
Lily took first - Remus
Then Marlene- James
Followed by Alice- Peter
Dorcas- Mary
James- Sirius
Sirius- Marlene
Peter- Dorcas
Remus- Lily
Frank- Alice
Mary took the last chit- Frank
“Anyone got their own name?” Alice asked.
The room chorused with “no.”
“Great!” Dorcas said. “I’m going to go plan what to get Ma- my person.” She said hoping no one noticed her little slip up.
“Okay. And no discussing who you got whatsoever. Okay?” Mary said strictly.
And then they all headed to their dorms.
Once the boys reached their dorm, James shut the door behind them and asked “Who got Lily?”
“Why?” Peter asked a smirk growing on his face.
The tips of his ears flushed red. “Cause, I already have something for her.” He said.
Remus sighed. “I have her.”
“Great!” James said brightly, as he handed over his chit to Remus and grabbed the chit with Lily’s name on it.
“Thanks!” He said
Christmas Day
Everyone gathered in the boys’ dorm, at six in the morning (thanks to Sirius’ and Marlene’s excitement) They had all woken up to find a present at the foot of their bed from their secret santa. They had decided to open their presents together the day before.
“Merry Christmas!” They greeted each other, not bothering about the fact that is was way too early. They could excuse Marlene and Sirius for waking them up too early on this special day.
“Let’s start with the presents!” Sirius whined.
Everyone laughed.
“First me!” Marlene said. She took her pressent and teared it open. A comfy looking sweater, with the letter M on it was revealed. The M was dark chocolate brown and the rest was a light coffee brown. “I love it! It’s gorgeous! Who got me this? Remus? “ she asked.
Remus shook his head.
“Alice?” She asked once more.
“Nope.” Alice said.
“Mary?” She tried once more.
“Not me.” Mary replied.
“I give up! Who got me this?”
Sirius smiled.
“Sirius? Aw! That’s so sweet of you!” Marlene went up to him and hugged him. A blush spread upon his features.
The others shared a knowing glance.
“It’s Sirius’ turn.” Marlene said.
Sirius opened his present to find a chocolate frog- his favourite chocolate- and a dog bone. He laughed. “Thanks Remus.”
Remus smiled. “No problem.”
Remus got two bars of chocolate and a new quill.
James got a broom set kit.
Peter got a ‘Top 16 tricks to get that lovely wizard falling for you’.
Alice got a scrapbook.
Frank got two tickets to a concert in France, during summer vacation.
Dorcas got a new defence textbook- “Sorry for losing your old one” and a few chocolates.
Mary got a new makeup set.
Lily was the last to open her present. She gasped. It was an absolutely gorgeous locket in the shape of a snitch, she opened it to find a picture of her and the girls laughing by the lake, which looked like it had been taken a couple days ago. She looked at James and smiled “I love it.” She went up to him and kissed him long and hard, ignoring the whistles and cheers from their friends.
A/N: This took place sometime before James and Lily ‘officially’ started dating. Cause let’s face it they were dating long before they announced it to anyone.
