The Marauder's lay around their dorm playing with their presents to each other under the tree James had smuggled in through the window. Wrapping was strewn across the floor, ribbon hung from bedposts, and hot chocolate stood cold on their trunks. 

"You seem down," Remus said quietly to Sirius as James and Peter battled who would throw the firecracker down into the common room.

"It's nothing," Sirius mumbled. "Thanks for the jumper."

"You look good in blue. Maybe you can wear it on that date with Ava."

"Nah, I canceled that."

"Wow Sirius Black ditching a girl? That's new."

"The one gu-person I sort of fancy doesn't really know. And I don't want to make a fool of myself." Remus nodded, unfazed by Sirius' minor slip up. "I suppose I'll just stop dating around for a bit."

"Anyone who doesn't like Sirius Black is off their rocker. You should tell the person how you feel, you never know. Or even just compliment them."

"I will, thanks mate." Sirius pat his back. "I like the jumper, too. By the way, you look good in maroon."

Before Remus could respond, a loud BOOM sounded from below followed by a shriek of "POTTER!" 

"IT WAS PETER!" James shouted back.
