Merry Christmas or other holiday for your preferred religion, or lack thereof. Screw it Happy Holidays.
AN: I haven't done this yet and I am sorry but clearly I am not JK Rowling so I do not own Harry potter, or John Kelly he is borrowed from Tom Clancy and his great jack Ryan Series, (kind of in this story he has magic and his wife died before his daughter was born and Chavez never became his son in law.) He is also not really Adam's Uncle, he has just been around him so long and he was treated so much like family that Adam calls him Uncle. This story will also contain no harems, and I am also undecided on who will be matched with who. Oh and if you think he is mature for his age… he kind of is I blame the mind transfer of John's sixth year in school mixed with the life he has lived with his important and powerful mother and being raised to be head of a powerful family. Hope that clears things up.

"Come with me Adam I see my parents." A young brown haired witch excitedly said to her friend.
"Ok Hermione." Replied Adam happily.
"Hey mom and dad" Hermione called out as she hugged her parents.
"Hermione I'm so happy to see you, who's your friend?" Mrs. Granger said
"This is Adam my best friend." Hermione proudly pronounced.
"Oh that's so nice I love to meet my little girl's friends. Where are your parents?" Mr. Granger asked, with as a small smile formed on her lips.
"Oh back in the states I'm staying with my uncle he told me to meet him over at the diner." Adam said while shaking Mr. Granger's hand.
"Oh ok well I'm sorry we can't stay and meet him but we need to get back home Hermione's cousins are in town and we must get back to them." Mr. Granger said with a sad look on her face.
"That's alright Sir I need to go too anyway it was great to meet you two. Good bye Hermione." Adam said with a small smile.
"Good bye Adam." Said Hermione as she comes up and hugs Adam good bye, (a little longer than necessary) and the now smirking Grangers lead their daughter away.
2 minutes later
"Ginny!" Adam yelped excitedly seeing his friend for the first time in months.
"Adam! I missed you." Ginny said as she runs up to him and hugs him.
"I missed you too Ginny." Adam says as he hugs her back.
"Hey I asked my mom and she said that it you and John didn't have anywhere to go for Christmas you guys can come over to the house, with Ron staying with Harry at Hogwarts we have an extra room." Ginny says getting more and more excited as she talks.
"Cool yes we would love to." Adam says happy to be able to spend more time with the Weasleys.
"This is going to be awesome, Mom said that you guys can come on Christmas Eve and stay till the 26th." Ginny says giddy with joy.
"I can't wait. I'm really sorry Ginny but Uncle John is waiting for me and I need to go." Adam says getting sad.
"OK bye." Ginny said sadly.
"Hey don't be sad I'll see you in just a few days and you're going to love your gift." Said Adam now hoping to cheer her up.
"Really?" She asks perking up at his words.
"Yes you will." Adam said as he gives her a hug good bye. "Bye Fred, George, Molly, Arthur."
"Bye Adam." Came a chorus of replies from the Weasleys.
Dec 24 1991 Weasley residence. 7 am
(Knock Knock)
…
(Knock Knock)
…
(Knock-)
"Hello?" Asked a sleepy red haired woman who opened the door.
"Good morning Mrs. Weasley." Said an exhausted John Kelly
"Hello John, Adam. What are you two doing here so early?" She asks confused.
"Blame the boy it was his idea, but I must thank you for letting us celebrate Christmas here this year." Said a now awake and polite John Kelly
"Well that's no problem and please come in come in." Said Molly going into her motherly and hostess sides.
"Thank you Molly and I am really sorry about being here this early but when I woke up early this morning and was getting ready I seem to have woken John." Was Adam's sheepish defense to being up and dragging his Godfather along.
"Oh that is quite alright. Please come in and I'll make some tea." Molly said as she leads them into the kitchen.
2 hours later when everyone comes down for breakfast we see 7 red heads enter the kitchen.
First we see a tall, pale faced, red long haired, blue eyed man with a necklace of dragon fangs and tattered burned robes, the overall thought really cool guy who gives no shits about appearance. Next we see a similar man come in except for green eyes, scares from curses on his face, and his attire is much more formal almost as if he was about to go into a bank. Next to come in are the twins who are strangely in their school robes with short red hair and both have brown eyes. Then comes in Ginny and her father.
"Adam! What are you doing here so early?" Ginny excitedly asks her friend.
"I couldn't wait to see you… I mean your family…" Adam said causing Ginny to blush and the rest of the Weasleys and John to chuckle.
"Sorry bud but not quite a save." Taunted a laughing John
"Quiet Uncle John." Adam said as he turned to the scar faced and dragon toothed wearing Weasleys. "Now um I'm sorry to say I haven't met you too but from what Ginny tells me you must be Bill and Charlie."
"Yes we are" the scar faced Bill said "and I will say this now, don't make Ginny mad because she is ferocious." Bill warned with a hint of mirth in his voice.
"Bill!" Screamed Ginny who was now very red.
"Thanks for the warning" Laughed Adam.
"Adam!" Ginny said now getting a little mad.
"Sorry Ginny, would a hug make it better?" Adam asked smirking.
"No" said an annoyed Ginny but Adam hugs her any way and she giggles.
"Now Arthur Molly to thank you for your hospitality I insist on giving you a gift." Adam said trying to change the subject and wanting to give his hostess a token of thanks.
"You didn't have to get us anything dear." Molly said surprised.
"Oh yes I did, you have let John and I come over many times, let us join you for Christmas, and are the parents of my first friends in this country, besides this is something more for the entire family then just you two." Adam said happy about the surprise he has for them.
"Oh thank you dear but at least wait till tomorrow that will be Christmas after all." Molly said not accepting total defeat.
"Well I have to insist that this one be opened today." John broke in.
"Ok fine but I don't see why" said a now somewhat annoyed Molly.
Adam hands her a large box and when Molly unwraps it she sees an owl.
"That is a magically supplemented great horned owl, with a fifty year lifespan and bred for large distance travel and deliveries. I thought it be great for trips to Romania and Egypt." Adam said with a huge smile on his face at her shock.
"We can't accept this owl it must have cost a lot of money." Molly nearly shouts out to Adam and John.
"Well actually no, my mom and dad run a pet shop in the Americas and these owls are the only thing that connects them to the wizarding world. This one was used for breading but it stopped for some reason at the age of six last month and since my father will not sell an owl over five years old he needed a new home for this owl, and I thought you could use him a lot more than me." Adam said now saddened that he had upset her.
"Oh no dear this is a beautiful gift don't be sad it's just that this is a very valuable gift and just… Oh never mind thank you so much" Molly said on the verge of tears.
"Yes thank you." Arthur said with a large smile on his face.
"Any time, this is nothing in comparison to what you have done for me." Adam said "I think those meals here in August saved me from Uncle John's "Cooking" as he calls it. I'm lucky I didn't die." Adam said with a smirk.
"Any time Adam, I'm just so glad that Ginny will have such a good friend when she goes to Hogwarts next year" Molly said with a smile.
"I just hope we can be in the same house so that we can hang out someplace other than the library and we'll see each other more" Adam said in a hopeful voice.
"Now don't get ahead of yourself" said one of the twin's maybe George.
"Yeah Ravenclaw, she is a Weasley, so she must be in Gryffindor" said the other.
"Hey She can be a Ravenclaw, she is smart enough" said Adam in defense of his statement.
"You really think so?" Asked a blushing Ginny.
"Of course you are" said Adam.
"AWW" came from a few sources around the room, causing the two youngest in the room to blush.
Just then Ginny starts to break out in pink bumps all over her face.
"Fred George! I told you no more of these foolish pranks" Molly screamed at the twins as Ginny ran out of the room crying. "Now look at what you've done!" Molly Screeched as Adam ducked out of the room.
"We're sorry mum that was meant for Bill not Ginny" said one of the Twins.
"I don't care who it was-"Molly kept yelling at her sons as Adam got far enough away to stop hearing her words. He eventually found is way up to Ginny's bed room and heard muffled crying on the other side.
"Ginny" he called softly.
"Go away" was her sad reply.
"No Ginny" Adam said as he opened the door to her room.
"Adam! No I look ugly please leave" Ginny cried into her pillow as he sat down at the edge of her bed.
"No you don't Ginny just look at me… please." The young boy begs. Ginny looks at him and he just smiles. "You know I think you look fine, except the tears of course."
"W-What?" She asks thru her tears.
"So you have a few blemishes, my brothers went thru it and I will too someday… you'll still be my friend then right?"
Ginny gives one of those laughing sobs before replying with "yes Adam I will."
"Good because I would hate to lose you as a friend over something like that" Adam said and they both start laughing. "Now let's see if the twins have an antidote. (Knock Knock)
"Come in" said Ginny as the twins walk in.
"Speak of the devils" remarks Adam getting Ginny to laugh again.
"Here's the cure Ginny." The one on the right said.
"Thanks Fred," was Ginny's remark. She took the cure and immediately started to clear up. "How do I look?"
"Trick question" said George.
"Run!" yelled Fred as they ran out of the room.
"Adam?" Asked Ginny.
"Just like Ginny Weasley" he said.
"And what does she look like?" Ginny asked while laughing.
"Perfect" Adam said in a cheesy way.
"Thanks" Ginny said with a blush.
"Come on let's go back and have some breakfast" Adam said with the most winning smile he could muster.
"Adam." Ginny says stopping him from leaving.
"Yes?" Adam asks turning around and Ginny runs up and hugs him for a good minute.
"You're the best friend I've ever had. I missed you these past few months and I'm going to miss you when you leave again even more." The statement brought a smile to Adam's face.
"I wish I could say the same thing but I'm afraid that it won't be the case" said Adam who was just smiling at her.
"What?" Ginny asked in a hurt voice.
"Ha now don't get all sad… I was going to tell you about this when I was leaving but I think now's a good time. I was writing with my grandmother about missing her and how I wished I could talk to her and she sent me an enchanted mirror that connects with hers so we can talk, so I asked her for another set and she sent me one, I'm going to give you one before I leave." Adam exclaimed while Ginny just sat there shocked. "Would you like that Ginny?" He asked worriedly. Causing Ginny to crack a smile.
"Of course I would you git. (Giggle) Come on let's go downstairs."
The next morning after a full day of snowball fights that Ginny Adam and Bill won, followed by building snowmen and some quidditch. It was a great day for all the Weasley children.
8:00 am.
The entire Weasley family minus Ron were in their pajamas with Adam in his pajamas and John in his normal black robes. It had been decided that Adam would give his gifts last. He had up to this point received a gray knit sweater with a purple A on it and sweets from Molly and Arthur, A dragon's fang from Charlie that came from an Austrian Fire Fang, one of Adam's favorites came from Bill who gave him a book on Grindelwald's effect on WWII, from Percy he got a book on runes (joy…), from the twins he got 101 wizarding pranks book and 1001 wizarding jokes, (still has trouble with who's who, from John he got to the disapproval of Molly a goblin made dagger, from Ron and Harry he got a book and supplies for quidditch, Hermione gave him a book of charms spells, and his favorite gift from Ginny. When Adam had been over during the summer he had told her about his arrow head collection from Native Americans and she had found a Celtic arrowhead near her home and this was her gift to him.
"Thank you everyone for these wonderful gifts, but now it's my turn" Adam said with a smirk. "For Molly."
"Oh but you already gave Arthur and myself that beautiful owl."
"Just open it, it's nothing really." Adam said in response. Molly opens her gift and it's a ring with a clear gem on it. "That is a special kind of gem that changes color depending on if those you love are in danger, red for Arthur, blue for Charlie, yellow for Bill, Green for Percy, Orange for Fred or George, Purple for the other, Black for Ron, Pink for Ginny, and well I can show you latter how to add more people." Adam said excitedly.
"Thank you Adam" Molly cries while she gives the young man a bone crushing hug.
"No problem Molly, and now for Arthur, a calculator. It is how muggles do complicated math, I thought you would enjoy using it or taking it apart." Adam said while Arthur gets a huge grin on his face and Adam just looks at him with a knowing grin.
"Thank you Adam this is great!" Arthur said in glee.
"Any time, now Charlie, I heard from Ginny you worked with dragons so I may have found the claw of an Indian Lucky Claw that died in captivity back in the States and they say that if you have one of those claws all things in life will go your way."
"This is amazing and rare, thank you so much Adam, though I don't know about all those luck stories." Said a smiling Charlie.
"Now for Bill, Ginny says you love breaking curses and every flavor Jelly beans, so here is something new they made witch shows you a spell and if you can give the correct counter curse you get a reward of Beans."
"No way… that's bloody brilliant announced Bill.
Adam now looks at the looks of joy on the twin's faces and says "Fred, George… your present is my presence."
"… No really what is it" they both deadpan.
"… oh well I thought that might not be adequate so I also got you an assortment of ingredients from the potion store that are used in many joke shop items. I thought you might enjoy inventing some new gadgets" said Adam with a knowing smile. "But I want to see anything that works, but you can't use them on me, or Ginny."
"Deal this is awesome/ I can't wait to use these on Ron!" They say together, earning a disapproving glare from their mother.
"Next is Uncle John I did not bring your gift because it is a 50 galleon tab at the Three Broomsticks so you can ask that professor you have fallen for."
"Who are you talking about Adam… actually don't say anything…" said a now embarrassed John. "Don't tell McGonagall either." Kelly whispered to Adam making him laugh.
"And since Ron, Harry, and Hermione already got their gifts" (Newest Chimneysweep for Ron because Adam knew he wouldn't have to hide it from Molly, auto write quill for Harry, and two books on Charms and Arithmancy.) "Last but not least Ginny for you I have two things, first is the Mirror we talked about yesterday, and the second are these." Out of Adam's robes run a wolf chased by a galloping horse, and a pouncing cat. All three are the size of a Teddy bear. "They are all stuffed but can move like the real things, act like the real things, and sound like the real things. They do have a mute functions if you poke their bellies, in case the wolf starts howling at the moon. They also can't be found in any store, well the stuffed animals can but the enchantments are all work done by me… with some supervision by Uncle Kelly to make sure they don't kill anyone." Adam said in excitement.
"Adam… these are the best gifts I have ever gotten" Ginny says as she almost cries in happiness and the wolf starts nuzzling her like a dog.
"Oh it was nothing." Adam mumbles.
"Nothing it took me weeks to teach you those spells and it took you five hours of strait spell work last week to finish the wolf" Kelly announces.
"Is that true Adam" Ginny asks with a wide grin on her face.
"Well… yeah it's true, but worth it to see you face right now." Adam said with a huge smile.
"Thank you" Ginny says as she runs up and hugs Adam… and hugs him… and hugs him…
"As great as this hug is Ginny your entire family has already laughed, looked again laughed and left the room." Adam said with a chuckle.
"I don't care, I'm going to hug you as long as I want." Was her answering decree.
"Fine by me." Adam said suddenly having a huge grin grow on his face as he hugs her back. Fine by me indeed… she's ten and I'm eleven what the hell… oh yeah John's memories, maybe Ginny reminds me of that pretty red head he took into his room and… nope nope just nope, we're ten and eleven dang it John… Oh she's talking again. "I'm sorry what Ginny mi mind was elsewhere?"
"Oh nothing I was just saying that I don't know how I can every thank you for your gifts, I mean my favorite animal, yours, and the horse is beautiful." Ginny gushed.
"A few more hugs like this might do it" Adam cheekily added.
"(Giggle) Shut up you git" Ginny laughed.
"Do you wanna build a snowman?" Adam asked… "You can hug me again after we build it."
"Yes."
AN: Hope you like the story so far, reviews are welcome, and Adam and Ginny may not end up together, have yet to deside.
