Remus woke up and noticed that neither of the children were there. Sirius seemed to have noticed the same thing. They both got out of bed,Sirius put some clothes on (as he slept in only his boxers).

The pair headed down the corridor in an attempt to find the children. While walking they bumped into Severus, who was on his way to the fireplace so he could floo back to Hogwarts to mark some 3rd year essays.

"Morning Severus, going so early" Sirius said in an half awake voice.

"Yes, Black I have things to do. Why are you both up so early and where are the children? You haven't lost them have you?" He rose his eyebrow in his now famous manner and waited for an answer.

"We woke up and they weren't there." Remus stated as Sirius was busy yawning.

"I saw then about 5 minutes ago down the corridor , probably heading for the bathroom" Severus informed them.

"Thank you Severus" Severus just nodded and headed towards the fireplace. "See you soon" Remus called as the green flames swallowed him.

With this new information the pair headed off to find the children, "We better find them before they get chance to hurt themselves, if they are anything like James that won't give us long" Sirius said as they walked down the hallway.

Meanwhile ...

"Harry, do you know where we are?"

"Of course I do, have I ever let you down? It's just down here, I am sure"

"That's what you said before and you were wrong. Just admit your wrong. We're lost aren't we?"

"We are not lost, we're just going the long way round"

"We're never going to have breakfast ready by the time we get there and we'll be in big trouble. Harry are you listening to me?" Tigerlily rolled her eyes and sighed, her brother never listened to her.

"Found it, told you we weren't lost" Harry said proudly. Tigerlily had to fight the urge to spoil her brothers moment.

"Harry, do you know where anything is?" Harry shook his head " Do you know what they would want?" Harry shook his head again "Well that makes 2 of us."

Harry started to climb and got on the counter to have a look in the cupboards. That's when Remus and Sirius walked into the room. Sirius instantly ran and grabbed Harry.

"Harry what were you doing you could have broke your neck!" Sirius started ranting.

"If you were hungry you only had to ask, we would have made you something." Remus said once Sirius had finished. "What are you both doing down here so early, you should probably still be in bed."

"We usually get up early" Harry said quietly

"How early? "

"Why?" Both adults were throwing questions at the children.

"We got up at 5 to cook breakfast for everyone."

"Please tell me someone watched while you cooked, to make sure you didn't burn yourself" Harry just shook his head.

"FIVE! FIVE!" Remus elbowed his friend in the side when he noticed both children jump and flinch.

"Once Uncle Vernon held my hand on the hot stove 'cause I burned the bacon." Harry said looking down.

"I am going to kill him, he's not worthy of being your uncle" Sirius muttered under his breath "Can I see your hand, please?" Harry shyly held his hand out, you could still see the burn. "Oh, my poor little Harry" Sirius said to himself. "Come on lets go and put some cream on that". Harry was very confused, then Sirius picked him up and they left the room.

Leaving Remus and Tigerlily. "Did anything like that happen to you?" Tigerlily looked at him and shook her head, and Remus smiled.

Then Sirius and Harry came back, the burn on Harry's hand had completely disappeared.

"I'll start on breakfast" announced Remus as he started to get things out of the cupboards.

"Do you want us to help?" Harry asked.

"Do you want to help, Harry?" Remus questioned.

"No , not really" Harry mumbled, in case he was going to get in trouble.

"Then no I wouldn't like your help"

"Can I help?" Tigerlily asked looking up at Remus.

Remus bend down,"Do you want to help me, really?" Remus was checking she wanted to help and didn't want her to think she would have to. She nodded eagerly. "Alright then, you can tell me what to do and keep Uncle Padfoot well away from the cooker" They both smiled.

Remus picked up Tigerlily and placed her on the counter, so she could help. Although much to every ones surprise she was getting just a little bossy about how to cook. Remus was learning loads from her. Just before plating up, he helped Tigerlily down and she sat at the table.

Remus made a plate for everyone and all the extra he had cooked he put on an extra plate in the middle of the table and the little family sat down to the first family breakfast. Although Harry and his sister didn't eat as much the adults wanted they were happy.

The small family sat happily at the table while Sirius was doing card tricks, Remus turned the radio on to listen to Christmas songs. Remus felt it was necessary to tell the children all about their parents. "You know, your mother loved Christmas , especially the music".

"Really, what was her favourite song?" Tigerlily asked , Harry was too busy watching Sirius to notice his sister and uncle.

"I don't know she loved all Christmas music, she would walk around singing them at the top of her lungs. Your father would as well, although he was always off key and loud but he loved Christmas just as much as your mother. Maybe you should ask Severus what her favourite song was he might know." Tigerlily just nodded. "What do you want for Christmas, cub" Remus asked out of no where.

"I-I-I don't know" She stuttered, she had been caught unaware.

"There must be something you want?" Remus tried to push the matter, but all Tigerlily did was shake her head. "What about you, Harry?" Harry looked over at Remus as did Sirius, "I said what do you want for Christmas cub?"

"I don't know" Harry said in a state of shock, no one had ever asked him that before.

"Yeah Harry there must be something you want." Sirius was now pushing the matter as well. But Harry just shook his head.

"Neither of you know what you want for Christmas?" Remus was slightly shocked by that , shouldn't children be writing lists that are miles long and asking for every thing they see. Well these children are going to have the best Christmas they have ever had.
