A little Christmas fic ...

Everyone seems to have been infected by the writing bug.  Poor fernwithy even let herself in for months and months of writing by opening up a session for requests, so I hope her inspiration doesn't run dry

Sirius really knows how to make an exit.

Now I'll hurry to the next part of this delightful story.

Oh, what a family dinner! The food sounded great - the company not so much. I had forgotten about the Black tapestry where all of those great names came from. And speaking of great names - loved the magical bands! It's details like that that make fan fic. so much fun. I also like how you make the Blacks believable - Sirius's mother wasn't foaming at the mouth and the well-bred prejudice was too chillingly familiar.

I imagine that there were quite a few 'interesting' family dinners at No 12, especially as Sirius grew older. And I don't think Walburga was foaming at the mouth except in her later years; rather, I see her as stern and demanding, proud that she had been the one to have sons, and therefore with enormous expectations for her elder son as the future head of the family. Which would have been hammered into him from an early age. No wonder Sirius rebelled!

a legendary family Xmas *nods* sounds like one of my family get togethers lol

this was very good, and sounds like it probably did happen, well done

(I need a better Marauders icon)

LOL @ family get togethers. We've all had these occasions in one form or another, with demands that we are on our best behaviour ... *sigh*.

This gave me a smile last night before bed. I love the idea of the huge hullabaloo and letter campaign that the Blacks put into getting Sirius switched to the 'right' house, Uncle Alphard's appearance, the bands, and Sirius's attempted trump card of "James POTTER". Glad to see a story from you!

Ah, Yuletide, the season of goodwill. Celebrating by meeting your relatives. And, among us root vegetables, too much alcohol.

This year we're meeting youngest sis-in-law's partener's family. Could be interesting. But, I hasten to add, they're not pure-bloods by any means.
