There's a wrapped package on Pepper's table, with a note on it wishing her a Merry Christmas, from Sirius and Lily.

She'll notice that eventually, right?

[yes_mr_stark]

Oh, she will. Looking up for a moment from her Blackberry, she eyes the box, and puts down the electronic gadget to take a better look at the package in front of her.

The wrapping paper is red-and-gold, which, knowing Sirius, really shouldn't come as a surprise.

The crystal hummingbird ornament inside may be a bigger shock, especially since it flutters its wings and moves its head when touched.

Magic wins!

Woah. Pepper beams at it, touching its wings gently, and holding it in her hand watching it move. She honestly hasn't had such an awesome present in ages.

On the other hand, it's Pepper. She... doesn't stop.

"I had to finish the guest list for Tony's party." Pepper sighs. "It's one of those anyone-who-is-anyone is there. There are actually bets being made on who he's going home with."

"No one. He'll be too drunk to get anything done."
Jarvis has seen a few Christmas parties, in his time. He knows how this one goes.

"That was my bet, but Hogan seemed to think it would be some actress." Pepper shrugs. "Who knows. All I do know is that it won't be me."
