A very happy Christmas

Summary: What if James and Lilly hadn't died? Just a normal Christmas in the Potter household

Note: this is my first Harry Potter fic, so please tell me what you think. I don't own anything!

It was Christmas Eve in the Potter household, James, Lilly, Harry and Max sat on the living room's couch just staring at the glorious tree in front of them. They had been putting everything ready for that special night, that they usually shared with Sirius, Remus and the Durley's (even though James hated Petunia and Vernon, they were still family), suddenly the door bell rang and both kids ran to get it. Harry opened the door excitedly just to find Vernon's pig eyes looking at him

"About time!" slapped Vernon

"Merry Christmas uncle Vernon" said Max shyly

"Where are your parents?" petunia asked Harry ignoring Max

"In the living room" said Harry roughly at them. And Dudley pushed his way inside making Max hide behind his brother looking scared

"Vernon!" said Lily politely as the Durleys reached the living room with Harry and Max close behind

"They're too scary" max whispered his father,making him laugh. "I know" he said picking him up safely away from Dudley who was looking at him with one of his usual "I'm going to kill you" smile

"What a lovely night" Petunia said sitting on the couch next to her husband

"it isn't lovely Petunia! Don't be stupid!" Vernon bursted out "I don't find it lovely, just boring"

"but Santa is coming tonight "Max said with a big grin on his face "and also uncle Sirius and uncle remus!"

"Oh" Vernon said after a moment "you think Santa is real! you still think he's real!"

"He is! And if you keep saying that he's not going to bring you any presents!" max said angrily almost to tears. Harry just stared at the scene and sat next to his mother who apparently couldn't believe what she was hearing

"Please let's just sit quietly until the others get here" James told Vernon quietly still holding a very upset max in his arms

"Excuse me" said lily and stood up with Harry in tow straight to the kitchen

"I'm going to kill him!" Harry said as they reached the kitchen

"I know honey, but they're family" Lilly told him calmly

"But he made Max cry!" Harry shouted

"Everything okay in here?" came James's voice

"Sure, just chatting" His wife told him looking at her now sleeping five year old son

"What about?" he asked, as he placed Max in her arms

"About how much I wish they weren't here" Harry said

"Slow sown there son, they are your family" James said softly

"Is just I…" harry started but his father just smiled at him

And they made their way back to the living room "sorry for that" James told their guests

In that moment they heard the door again. But this time only Harry went to get it "Sirius!" he said happily hugging his godfather. In the mention of Sirius James ran to greet his best friend and made a quick summary of what had happened with Max

"Dam muggles" muttered Sirius as he entered the living room "lily!" he said hugging her and kissing her cheek and of course ignoring the rest

"Hum hum "interrupted Vernon "I don't believe we've met" aunt petunia said politely as her nervous allowed her

"Sorry" Sirius said calmly "Sirius Black" he introduced himself. Aunt petunia shook her head and sat again

"Is Santa here yet?" A weak voice asked, Max had woken up and was rubbing his eyes

"Not yet" Sirius said

"Uncle Sirius!"Max said and jumped from his mother's arms

"hey there little man" Sirius said picking' the boy up

"When did you get here?" Max asked

"Just now, so you didn't miss anything" Sirius told the boy who was looking around

"What is it cub?" James asked his youngest son

"uncle Remus isn't here" Max said sadly as Sirius placed him on the carpet

"Don't worry squirt, he'll be here soon "Harry assured him

"So when are we eating?" Dudley asked rudely

"Soon" Harry and James said in unison

For the third time the door bell rang and Harry and James went to get it

"My, my "said Remus when they opened the door "I think I'm seeing double" he teased

"Hi man, long time no see" greeted James

"Yeah, well I…wait I think a young Potter is missing" Lupin said rarely loud

"Uncle Remus!" Max said launching himself to Lupin

"There's my godson!" the man said hugging him and walking to the living room
