Jenna stared at Sirius with widened eyes, no idea how she was going to respond to that.

       "I — I mean if you want," said Sirius, shrugging. "No pressure. I know it's too soon and we've only been going out for a few months. But there's still time to think this over until summer. And even if you don't want to — you can always come and visi—"

       But Jenna cut him off as she leaned forward and pressed her lips against his, pulling away after a short kiss with a smile.

        "I would love to move in with you," she said and by those words, Sirius's grin widened.

      "Really?"

      "Really," she nodded. "Although, I'm not sure how my parents will react."

       "Which is why I think we should wait until the school year's completely over," said Sirius. "So they can have time to at least get over the fact that we are dating."

        "Yeah, but let's not tell James anything yet," Jenna grimaced. "You saw how things went this time. I'll ask my parents over summer. Hopefully their reaction would be better this time."

The days were passing by quicker than any of them had thought. Soon, all of them were running all over the house, trying to help Mr. and Mrs. Potter with the preparation of their Christmas party, which would take place the next day.

        Sirius, James, and Jenna had all gathered in the hall, decorating the Christmas tree.

       "Dunno why you don't just use magic," said James, turning on Sirius. "You're finally of age. Might as well take advantage of that, instead of putting on these ornaments with hands like us."

       "I'm enjoying this, actually..." Sirius started hesitantly while putting a red ornament up on the tree. "Cause, you know... I've never really done this before."

       "What?" James and Jenna exclaimed together, turning to face him.

       "What do you mean? You've never decorated a Christmas tree before?" Jenna asked, frowning lightly.

       "It's more of the fact that we never celebrated Christmas back at home," said Sirius, shrugging casually.

        "You — you can't just not celebrate Christmas!" James protested. "It's Christmas!"

       "Not at our house," he said wearily. "I mean, it's never been a family thing. I always shut myself up in my room. My dear mother kept yelling. I turned up the music to muffle her out. She screamed more. And that's what Christmas has been for me all these years."

       "Well, then let's make this Christmas a memorable one, shall we?" said Jenna with a smile, holding up the ornaments' box and they all took a few, hanging them on the tree.

       Even though the tree didn't look good enough for the party and Mickey had to reorganize it at Mrs. Potter's orders, the three were still happy with their outcome either way.

      Mrs. Potter then called them for some hot coco after they were done so they could have a break. But as James went into the kitchen, Jenna took a hold of Sirius's sleeve and dragged him back.

      "What?" He raised a brow at her.

       "You wanna go out for a walk?" Jenna asked with a mischievous smile.

       "Sure," said Sirius, grinning. "Let me get our coats."

       He took out his wand and used a non-verbal spell which he had mastered by now. With that, their two coats started flying downstairs from their rooms, landing in their hands.

      "Show-off," Jenna muttered teasingly.

       "You're just jealous that I can use magic outside school, whereas you're still just a little girl," he said with a grin as they wore their coats.

        "Little girl?" Jenna repeated, folding her arms.

        Sirius chuckled. "I'm just teasing you, Kitten."

     And with that, he grabbed her hand in his and raised it to his lips before placing a kiss on it, then leading the way out of the house.

     It was snowing outside and the cold weather was embracing them like a chilly blanket as they walked toward the village, hand in hand.

      "Hey, Sirius," Jenna started hesitantly, "can I ask you something?"

       "Sure, but I won't guarantee you answers," he said jokingly, making her chuckle.

       "Well..." Jenna went on uneasily, clearing her throat. "I was just wondering if you have ever... you know...?"

       "No, I don't know," said Sirius, acting obliviously.

       "Just — you know — have you ever — done the thing?"

       "The thing?" Sirius raised an amused brow at her, but shrugged all the same. "I certainly have no idea what you're talking about, Jenny. Do you mind speaking more clearly?"

       "You git!" she laughed, stopping and smacking him on the arm. "You know damn well what I'm talking about! You're just denying it so you can see me suffer!"

      "True," said Sirius, laughing. "I love watching you struggle to say the word 'sex'."

       "I — you —" Jenna opened her mouth a few times at that, only to close it again, her hair turning pink. "Well, I was trying to save us from the awkwardness!"

      "Save yourself from the awkwardness, you mean. I have no problem with it what so ever," he said, winking.

       "Ugh!" Jenna groaned playfully and rolled her eyes in frustration. "Well... have you?"

      "Why do you ask, Jenny?" said Sirius, grinning.

       "I — I'm just curious to know," Jenna said as casually as possible, shrugging.

        "I'm sure if I ever said yes, you'd definitely get either extremely jealous, or go hunting the poor girl down and then murder her," Sirius joked, but when Jenna opened her mouth to retort, he beat her into it and said, "But as a matter of fact, no, I haven't."

     Jenna gave him a look.

"All right, all right." Sirius threw his hands up in defeat. "But you have to promise me that you won't get mad."

Jenna rolled her eyes. "Just tell me who was your first!"

Sirius sighed before saying, "It was Gwenog Jones."

Jenna stared back at him blankly, trying to keep her hair from turning red. "Okay."

"Don't be mad."

"I'm not mad," Jenna said stubbornly, obviously lying.

"Look, she was the last girl I was with before I fell in love with you," he tried to say soothingly.

"If Eggnog Jones was the only one you've done it with, then what about the other girls you went out with before her?" Jenna asked, folding her arms moodily. "Is Jones the only one you slept with?"

      "Yeah," Sirius chuckled. "I mean, sure I've done other stuff, but —"

      "Woah! Too much detail, Black!" said Jenna hurriedly, holding her ears, making him laugh again.

        With an amused grin still playing at the edge of his lips, Sirius grabbed her hands in his and lowered them.

       "You get cute when you're shy," he said, looking into her eyes admirably as he placed a strand of her pink hair behind her ear. "I love you so much, Jenny."

      She giggled uncontrollably before smiling up at him. "I love you too, Padfoot."

        With that, Sirius raised a hand and gently placed it on her rosy cheek and wrapped his other arm around her, bringing her closer to him. He then leaned down, pressing his lips against hers as Jenna held tightly onto the front of his coat, kissing him.
