Sirius expected some kind of decorations for the holidays - he liked decorations for the holidays, things like the Lighting Ceremony and all of that were fun. What he did not expect however was to come out of his room and find that Christmas had exploded throughout the house. He followed the trail of smaller trees and wreaths here and there until he started following the sound of music instead.
And then he found his brother and Remus sharing cider and decorating a tree together. "I can't leave you two alone for even a second can I?" He asked leaning against the door frame, amusement plain on his face.
"Isn't decorating supposed to be a family affair?" He asked with a smirk. It was strange to think how much life had changed, from last Christmas to this year, how many little things were different and how that changed the whole so dramatically. He still remembered how things were strained between him and his brother even a year ago, while he tried to find some balance between the past and present.
