"Eh. I don't need hands, anyway." James shrugged, laughing. "And I think your tower's about the right size, actually, Sirius. Pete, you're a boring sod. Put the damn t-shirt on, it won't kill you. Or give you boils. Okay, sweetie time!" Reaching for the bag again, he emptied it onto the bed, several brown paper packages cascading out. "There's some seriously, seriously sweet honey and molasses stuff," he said, tossing a package each at the others. "Don't eat more than a little bit at once. It's sweet like you would not believe. Um, there's Fernet Menta sweets - they're alcoholic - and some really, really nice hard candy, like Every Flavour Beans in boiled sweet form." Another couple of packages, these thrown a bit more carefully. "Honey sweets. And, of course, lots and lots of chocolate. Couldn't go to Rome and not get you all chocolate, could I? Oh, and this is for you, Sirius." Reaching back to the little pile of packets still on his bed, he dug out a replica Roman helmet. "Thought it'd suit you."

"Ok, fine, fine. But only if you're wearing one too!" He took one of the t-shirts, slipped out of the top of his own robes and pulled the shirt on before his wobbly belly could be on show for too long. The packages landed mostly in his lap as he fumbled the catches, but he did manage to catch the honey sweets properly. He reached into the Monde de Sucries bag, feeling around in the bottom. "You'll never guess what I brought you." He held up two hands, swirly Muggle lollipops between each finger. "Lollies! Plus some other stuff." He gestured at the three small heaps of packages, then dropped a couple of lollies onto each pile. "Oh! I just remembered, too! Mum told me to give you these!" He dived back into his case and emerged with a small round goat's cheese in each hand. "She said you seemed pretty cheesy." |

"Oh? And how would you know the correct size of my tower, James?" Sirius leered at his best friend, but all suggestive innuendos were forgotten when Sirius was bombarded with sweets and then a replica helmet. "James, you are the best. Have I ever told you that? Because you are!" But then Peter was giving him more sweets and lollies, and cheese, and Sirius was laughing again. "Forget that, Jamie! Pete's mom is the best!" |

"Pete, tell your mum I'm torn between loving her and hating her, because, Sirius? I am the best, so shut up." Grabbing the cheese out of Pete's hand, he dropped it and the sweets down next to Sirius' present. "Anyway, didn't I say I'd got you all expensive presents, too. I'm not done yet, you guys! Might wait a bit longer to give you them, though." Kicking back onto the bed, he picked up a lolly from his little pile of gifts, unwrapped it, and stuck it in his mouth. "I think you've got enough to be going on with there." |

"I know," Peter grinned, shoving the bags back into his suitcase and leaving only one plastic bag, with a grinning clown on the front. "She's brill. Best mum ever." He unwrapped the honey confectionary James had given him and broke off a corner, tasting it slightly gingerly. "That's sweet!" he exclaimed, in much the same tones that people use when they say of a vindaloo, 'that's hot!'. "Oh yeah, I did get you two one more thing. But, um, I mean, James kind of already did something similar..." He picked up his jacket from the chair by his bed and held it up, rifling through the pockets, them produced a crumpled photograph, which he held out to them. In it, a pale Veela waved seductively at them, flirting outrageously. There was a note written on the back, a Parisian address written in neat, slanting handwriting. "She's my dad's cousin's son's sister twice removed or something, I don't know, some kind of extended family. I showed her a photo of us after you won the Quidditch Cup last year, and she made me promise to give you that, so, um, there." |

"I've restocked my chocolate, too," Sirius said, reaching out to snatch the picture of the French veela from Peter. "So I won't be so stingy." Sirius' chocolate rationing increased as the year went on, and the last month was usually spent without any of the chocolate at all, until the last day when Sirius would bring out a full bar he had stashed somewhere for a farewell celebration. But now Sirius' stash was full and he wasn't so worried about running out. "You guys are the best, getting me pictures of hot girls. I'll have to return the favor sometime." |

"Let me look at that," James said, reaching over and snatching the picture out of Sirius' hands. Frowning, he examined it carefully, then poked her in the face and tossed the photo back to Sirius. "Forward, isn't she? Just your type, Pads. You should go and visit her some time." Laughing, he sat back on his bed, popping his lolly back into his mouth. "Put the helmet on, see what she thinks of a Roman soldier." |

Frank Longbottom entered Gryffindor tower with a large group of students, his stomach pleasantly filled with mashed potatoes and roast beef. Being back in the Common Room was like a big sigh of relief; he could feel himself relax next to the crackling fire and familiar red chairs. Frank immediately headed up to the boy's dormitory, despite the social atmosphere in the Common Room. He promised himself he'd be more social this year but, as he stifled a yawn, he decided that could start tomorrow. When Frank entered, he muttered a quiet greeting to the Sirius, James, and Peter. He didn't want to disrupt them from their gift exchange, so he hurried over to his bed, and busied himself with unpacking. The boys were always nice to him, but he couldn't help but feel like he was intruding on a family reunion. |

Peter laughed. "You could get me a hot girl, Sirius, I'd appreciate that! I'm sure you've got plenty spare." He waved at Frank came in, smiling, but didn't say hello. "I bet she'd like it. Show her, Sirius!" |

"Plenty of them around Hogwarts," Sirius said, shaking his hair back before pulling the helmet on and striking a heroic pose. "Hah! Fear my Tower!" He grinned at Frank, gesturing to the t-shirt. "Think it advertises me well enough, Frank? James says it's too big, but I think it's too small." |
