"Sounds like a lot of fun. I wanna see your telly!" Sounded amazing. His Christmas was nothing like that, which was probably why Sirius sometimes forgot that other people liked the idea of going home. He was glad they got to have fun, it was just a weird concept to wrap his head around. Not even Regulus was happy to go home, it was just what was proper. "One day, we'll all have Christmas together. You know, Peter, you, me and James and Lily, whenever he wears her down."
There, he would believe in his friend, in spite of all evidence. "I'll wear a stupid hat all day."
"Good, I'll buy you that stupid hat. I have like... five ideas for costumes and sweaters and hats I wanna get you. First chance we get to have Christmas, I got a lot of muggle merch for you. You'll bloody love it!" Remus grinned brightly, knowing that one day soon, they'd be having an amazing Christmas together. And he'd get Sirius an adorable Rudolf hat.
"And I'll send you some Christmas cards. Maybe one will reach you." He could have some hope. "I'll send one on the 23rd so try to be on the roof."
"Sure thing. I wanna see if I can meet Santa anyway." Well, he had dreams. Dreams one came up with while camping out for a few hours on a freezing cold roof. "I've been plotting for weeks now, I wanna do something. Remember that muggle book you told me about? By Charles... Cockens?" Something like that. "The one with the three ghosts. I wanna drive Regulus crazy and make him believe he's haunted."
What a worthwhile thing to put all his energy toward.
"Dickens. Not much better but it's Charles Dickens. I'll borrow you a copy, if you fancy. I got it somewhere." He had a lot of books in his room he meant to read and never did. Most of them were now stacks that held things like cups, glasses and his clothes. They were handy for that, to be fair. "I'll help to inspire your prank, I think it'd be pretty funny."
Whatever kept Sirius entertained. "This year, Christmas will be good." Mostly because he'd have the full moon out of the way with. "Hopefully for both of us."
