Prompt 2 - Father Christmas

@wolfstarmicrofic December 2, word count 610

“Getting a bit bored here, Potter. Can’t we go out and do something?” Sirius asked. It was still early and not totally freezing yet, and he wanted to get out of the house. He loved Potter Manor with all his heart, but even he drew the line of being stuck inside it for going on 24 hours. 

“I was going to go practice with Peter in a bit. Wanna come as well?” James said, throwing one of his mum's ornaments into the air before he caught it again. 

“James Fleamont Potter, if you drop that again, so help me. There is only so much magic can do to ceramics after it's been cracked ten times,” Effie walked into the living room carrying a huge tray filled with tea and mince pies. 

“Sorry Mum,” James said sheepishly as he carefully put the little figurine back on its shelf. 

“If you’re looking for something to do, Sirius darling, Father Christmas will be riding around the village in his sleigh,” Sirius jumped up from the floor and ran into the hallway. He stuffed his feet into his boots and began wrapping the long scarf Monty had knitted him two Christmases ago around his neck. He pulled on his coat and plonked his favourite knitted hat on his head and he was ready to go. 

“See you later!” He called as he opened the door. He stopped, coming face to face with a bundled-up Remus Lupin. 

“Excellent timing, Moony, come on,” Sirius beamed as he grabbed Remus’s gloved hand and spun him around, leading him back the way he had just come. 

“Where are we going?” Remus mumbled around a mouthful of wool scarf. 

“Santa’s coming to town!” Sirius grinned mischievously and could hear the eye roll behind him. 

It was wonderful. The old man dressed as Father Christmas rode around the village, booming, “Ho, ho, ho!” With the delicate sounds of jingle bells. All the children were offered rides and a chance to sit on Santa’s lap, and, of course, Sirius refused to miss out on the fun. 

Santa laughed at his hopeful look before patting the seat beside him. 

“Come on lad, you too,” He waved Remus on as well. Remus hesitated but Sirius used his best puppy dog eyes on him and Remus gave in. 

The ride was short but enjoyable and at the end, Sirius hopped onto the guy's lap before he could say anything and whispered in his ear, so Remus couldn’t hear. 

“I want my best friend to have the best Christmas,” He said before pulling back. He could have sworn that Santa’s eyes were a little damp, but the man nodded and gave him a wink. 

“I’ll see what Father Christmas can do,” Santa told him before shooing them off his sleigh, so the next child could jump on.  

“What did you ask for?” Remus asked him as they made their way back to the house. 

“Can’t tell you that Remus or I won’t get what I asked for,” Sirius said, mock horrified. He grabbed Remus’s hand and gave it a quick squeeze. 

Remus looked around to see if they were alone and dipped his head to press a kiss on Sirius’s cold, pink cheek. Sirius’s mouth dropped open. “You heard what I said, didn’t you?” Remus shrugged. 

“Werewolf,” They both laughed and continued on to Potter Manor. 

“Well, I meant it, Moony. I do hope you have the best Christmas,”  

“I already am. I’m spending it with you, aren’t I?”

“Sap.”

“You love it,” And he really did. He pulled Remus into his arms just as they made it to the front door and kissed him.

A good start for a Christmas window project. I need to find six 8” thin black picture frames for this that I can glue/nail together and put these in.

I mean, any colour frames would work, wood tone would look good to. I just like want it to look like your looking out a window.

I just 💙 this wrapping paper! Here comes Santa & his sleigh.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all the Escaflowne fans on Tumblr! May you have a peaceful and joyful Holiday Season.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday to all my fellow Escaflowne fans!

This is a little imaginary scene in which Van and Allen are trying to impress Hitomi on Christmas with gifts and Christmas trees. Which will she choose? Van’s warm, sincere, and slightly childish spread of colourful gifts and his jolly red tree or Allen’s gifts fit for a Parisian courtesan and his elegant starry tree?

It seems Santa passes by Gaea on his way to the Mystic Moon!

What kind of Christmas Good are you (Sakamaki Edition)?

shu- the burned christmas roast in the oven. to a crisp, just like his tots platonic, I swear romance with edgar

reiji- the coal in your stocking. jokes on him, its perfect for firing up some of his pigeon brethren on the barbie :)

laito- christmas lights to out-decorate the entire neighbourhood block. his fabulousness cannot be contained

ayato- leftover green bean casserole from last thanksgiving. some consider him a bioweapon, but i prefer to just chuck him in the trash

kanato- the cookies sending santa into hyperglycaemic shock. guess the kids will have to do without gifts this year

subaru- that christmas sweater. it’s godawful, but torturing yourself wearing it is in fashion right now for all you people pleasers

kino- the door-to-door salesman that has no holidays off. nothing like getting a discounted life insurance policy on Christmas eve, reminding you that death is imminent :)

-The nurses used to sing us something about Santa skiing. Idk. Always thought he had skis. Tho, if he has a sleigh, what are the reindeer doing? Sitting with him and pointing at a map?

- Scotland is a weird country. They love tartan, painting on road signs and doing weird things with statues. Don't question it. Or you might end up like the man in the bathtub. Doesn't mean it's not the most beautiful European country (no, the person pointing a gun at me while I'm typing this is just here for decoration)

- Thank you for the encouragement. I'm sure that I'll have bonus points if I tell my examiners about the emu war. Really fits the whole radiotherapy theme.

pt II australia but i've never been there

I didn't even have to wait for y'all's responses on part I to make this because Australia is WILDING. As per usual, salutations to Arthur's grandmother's boyfriend Brian.

Everything remaining that I know about Australia:

There was an emu war. There were many emu casualties, and no human ones, but the emus won anyway. Sun Tzu is making way for the emus.

That was the only research I did on the emu wars, but as someone who met a few emus once, they were very lovely to me and very soft to pet. They also were very jabby. One of them looked deeply concerned as they looked at me, I believe they thought I was a deformed emu. I am on the winning side of the war.

During Christmas, Santa does not have a sleigh. He has a surfboard, and he does slay.

There are a lot of animals. Many have no placenta, as I recall from biology. Due to the nature of the continental drift and geographical isolation, Australian marsupials evolved separately from placental mammals, and were not wiped out by invading species. Due to convergent evolution, there are also analogous species between the placental mammals and the marsupials.

What just happened I'm sorry deep science trauma was unearthed. The point is, a lot of animals. A kangaroo is probably in your backyard. A koala just stole your girlfriend. An alligator murdered your classmate. It just happens.

KOOKOOBURRA SITTING ON THE OLD GUM TREE MERRY MERRY SOMETHING SOMETHING idk I was 3 when my mum sang me that.

The internet is awful. Rumours are that the local snake ate it.

Australia is very very pretty, I know this because of an Australian Tourism Department ad that I saw when I was 12 and had cable TV.

You must not forget your Hat. It's like the three little kittens song, but with the Hat instead of mittens.

The Wibbles are a thing. I thought they were a band. Spotify said no. I no longer know what they are.

Crocodile Dundee is a thing. I saw him in Snoopy/Peanuts.

Steve Irvin met his wife in an animal area and his daughter met her husband in an animal area. I don't know anything more these lovely folks, or what the animal area was, I'm afraid.

There is a cake with white stripes that is the Best for Birthdays.

The accent is beautiful, but I admit for years I couldn't differentiate it from British and American accents as a child because to me it sounded like the lovechild of them both and it made me very confused.

Uh, Australia exists.

Yeah, no, that's all I've got. Love to the Australian maggots.

If you're sick of the generic Christmas songs you've been forced to listen to while shopping, I made a playlist of some more unique songs.

If I don’t see Solomon under my goddamn tree tomorrow then I’ll have the WORST Christmas ever!!! 😤😤

[the-arch-elf]

hi, Bernard! I just wanted to tell you that I think you’re doing amazing, even though it’s nearly Christmas and I’m sure you have a million things on your mind. Just remember to take a second to breathe every now and then!

💜, Alice

Oh! Why, thank you, Alice!

Santa is hours from flying out, and I don’t think I’ve stopped moving since I woke up this morning. This was the perfect reminder to get something to eat before the Kitchen staff start hunting me for sport.

And while I do that, I'll add breathing exercises to my to-do list!

Kindly yours, Bernard
