The train stopped at the small station and Rose, Hugo, Lily, James, Albus, Uryu, Orhime, Chad, Rukia, Renji, Ichigo, Shuhei, Nanao, Toshiro, and Rangiku got off. The soul reapers looked uneasily at their clothes. They all wore normal clothes today. Rose had on a red t-shirt and blue jeans. James had a shirt that was black with a sword design and black jeans. Hugo had a blue long sleeve shirt and blue jeans. Lily had on a pink dress. Orihime wore a light pink shirt and black jeans. Chad had on a red hawaiian print shirt with blue jeans. Ichigo had a tight black shirt and jeans. Uryu wore a grey shirt and light blue jeans. Rukia wore a light blue loose fitting dress. Renji had on a yellow shirt with a red vest and black jeans. Shuhei wore a white shirt and black jeans. Nanao wore a green shirt and a white skirt. Toshiro had on a white shirt and white pants, and Rangiku wore a midnight blue dress. 'I can't beleive my dad is making me spend our time home here.' Ichigo complained inwardly. "Rose, are you sure it's alright with your family for us all to be coming over for christmas break?" Uryu asked. Rose nodded.

"The more the merrier!" James said. A small ottage with a sign that read 'The Borrow' stood ahead of them. It wasn't a big place at all, and in the front yard where two men wrestiling around.

"You won't beat me this time Bill!" said one. He was slightly younger than the other. They both were scared amd had fire red hair like the other weaslys. The older one had a ponytail and an earing.

"I don't think so." said Bill, pinning the younger man down.

"Uncle Bill, Uncle Charlie." James called. Both men froze and looked up.

"Oh hey! You guys made it! You got quite a bunch with you this year. Come on in, your parents arent here yet, but almost everyone else is." Charlie said getting up. The door flung open and a man their age came out.

"Will you both stop fooling around and give us a hand?! We're having the family come over and we are still trying to put expansion charms on the rooms so it we have places for everyone." the man hissed.

"Relax Percy, we're coming." Bill said with a smile. Then a pretty blonde haired girl in a light blue dress came up.

"Papa, M'um is looking for you." she said.

"Oh look, it's Victoire." said James. The girl looked over and smiled.

"Your just in time to help cook!" she said. They all groaned. Then Rose turned to the others.

"These are our uncles Bill, Charlie, and Percy. And our cusion Victoire. She's uncle Bills and aunt Fluer's daughter. Is Teddy here?" she asked turning to Victorie. She nodded.

"He's inside helping m'um." she said. They all nodded.

"Is it just me or is she really pretty?" Renji whispered.

"I'd stay away from her. She's got veala blood in her, plus she's dating Teddy." Albus whisered back.

"Who's Teddy?" asked Rukia.

"He's our dad's godson. Remus Lupin and Tonk's son." said Lily. Uryu nodded, remembering both had died in the war against Voldemort. "Well then, let's go." Lily said. The group headed inside where they were met with many people bustiling around, trying to cook, clean, or just visit with each other in such a tiny place. There was much yelling of things like 'Take those outside.' or 'Stir the sause will you' and so forth. Before they knew it, Ichigo and company were put to work by people they didn't even know, carring things outside and helping around the house. Finally everyone was sent outside for dinner.

"Good, now you can meet everyone." James said as they all met up in the garden. "Ok, let's start with my Grandma and Grandpa, Molly and Arthor Weasley. They have seven children. There's Uncle Bill the oldest and his wife Fluer. Then is their children Victoire, Dominique, and Louis. Then is our Uncle Charlie and then Uncle Percy and his wife Audrey. Their children are Molly and Lucy. After them is our uncle George and his wife Angelina. Their children are Fred II and Roxanne. Then is Uncle Ron who married aunt Hermionie and Rose and Hugo are their children. Finally is Ginny, our mom, who married our Dad, Harry. Lastly you have Teddy." said James pointing to each in turn. There were so many people it was making their heads spin. Most of them had fire red hair, but Fluer and her children were all blonde, Angelina and Roxanne had black hair, Hermionie had brown curly hair, and Harry had black hair with a scar on his forhead and glasses. Teddy's hair was changing colors!

"Now for our turn. These are the friends we were telling you all about! Uryu Ishida, Ichigo Kurosaki, Orihime Inoue, Yasutora Sado, Rukia Kuchiki, Renji Abarai, Shuhei Hisagi, Nanao Ise, Toshiro Hitsugaya, and Rangiku Matsumoto." Rose said pointing to each of them in turn.

"Pleased to meet you." said Rukia with a curtsy.

"The one's a little bit younger than all of you isn't he? What is he, a first year?" George asked pointing to Toshiro.

"I AM NOT A LITTLE KID!" Toshrio yelled. The Weasly's looked surprised.

"Sorry, we forgot to tell you, he doesn't like people mentioning his age. He's actually a prodogy." said Albus with a smile, filling in the cover story they had planned. Toshiro still looked steamed so no one asked anything else on the matter.

"No matter, sit down dears and let's eat." Molly said. She was a kind older lady who seemed to care for everyone's well being.

"I heard there's some strange things going on at your school this year." Harry said, a bit of worry in his tone.

"No, nothing unusall for Hogwarts." Lied James with a smile on his face. Harry nodded, still not satisfied but knowing he wasn't getting any more out of his son. Uryu looked Harry over. He wanted to ask him so many questions about the holes in the story he had learned threw McGonogall, but since he just met him he felt that would be rude. Apperently this man along with his brother-in-law, and that man's wife were the most important people in the wizarding world, and here they are sitting and eatting dinner with them.

"So, what do you all think of Hogwarts?" Molly asked Shuhei and Nanao who were the closest to her.

"I think it's very interesting." Nanao said, not knowing how else to discribe a school for spiritually aware humans to earn how to use their powers in the world of the living. Shuhei nodded, figuring that was the best thing to do.

"I love it, the students are all so interesting and it's so much fun!" Rukia said, falling into her acting like it was second nature to her. "Rose is so helpful with our studies becasue it's s new to us, but I really enjoy it. I hope I can do well enough to pass onto the next grade next year." Rukia said. 'That's a little much.' Ichigo thought watching her.

"So tell me, your all brought up by muggles, what do you know about these new Rabbit toys?" he asked, and with that, Rukia and Arther were imersed into their own world about rabbits. Renji hit his forhead and looked up up at Charlie.

"So what do you do?" he asked.

"Me? I tame dragons right now." Charlie said. Renji's eyes about popped out of his skull.

"Really!?" he asked. "I thought dragons were only fairy tails." he said. Rangiku kicked him, thinking that he blew their secrite.

"Most muggle born's think so, but they're real." Charlie said. Rangiku smiled.

"Really, you should tell us about them." she said.

"SORRY WE'RE LATE!" came a voice. They turned to see McGonogall, Nevile, and Hagrid standing at the gate.

"Not at all, come on in." Molly said opening the gate. The others smiled, Ichigo was the only one who actually lived with his family, and he only saw his dad and sisters, so he never got to do things like this as did the others. Toshiro only had his grandmother and Momo, and the others didn't have families but Rukia, and that was Nobles. They never got to do anything like this in the past and it was nice. They treated them like one of the family. As they were cleaning up a pretty blonde woman walked in with her husbend and two sons.

"That's Luna Lovegood. Her husbend is Rolf Scamander and the boys are their sons Lorcan and Lysander." explained Rose.

"Apperently uncle Dudley and his family can't make it this year." said James with a smirk. The others sighed.

"Who?" asked Orihime.

"Uncle Harry's cusion Dudley. He was raised with Harry and we just call him Uncle Dudley. Apperently it wasn't until Uncle Harry was seventeen when they started getting along and they've been friends ever since." said Rose with a smile.

"Well if they're not coming than this should be everyone." said Albus as he streached out.

"Hugo, can you give me a hand." Hermionie called from the door of the house. Shuhei, Hugo, Renji, Uryu, and Ichigo all helped her with the table she was carring.

"Thankyou." she said with a smile.

"Why didn't you just use your wand?" Ron asked coming out. Hermionie frowned.

"You can't use magic for everything." she protested. The others smiled.

Christmas morning finally arrived. Hugo, James, Albus, Ichigo, Uryu, Chad, Shuhei, Toshiro, and Renji all shared a room as they woke up to find a pile of wrapped gifts on each of their beds. "What's this?" asked Ichigo looking them over.

"It's gifts for Christmas. Go on, open them." James said tearing into them. Ichigo and the others gave each other an odd look before opening them. The first one was a sweater for all of them. Ichigo's was maroon with a strawberry in the center, Uryu's was blue with a bow, Chads was red with a gold coin, Shuhei's was black with a white poppy in the center, Renji's was red with a pinapple in the center, and Toshiro's was green with a ice dragon curled up.

"Our grandma asked what you would want. She makes them for us each year." said Hugo holding up a blue one with a bat on it. James held up a red one with a snitch. The others had a few different snacks and candies. They looked up at James, Albs, and Hugo.

"What is it?" asked Hugo.

"Well, we really don't have anything for you guys." Ichigo said. James waved that concern off.

"You said you've never celebrated Christmas before right?! Just wear the sweater, that's enough of a present to our family." James said.

"We usually don't really wear them, only on Christmas morning for grandma!" said Albus with a smile. They all nodded and threw the sweaters over their clothes, then ran down stairs. Lily, Orihime, and Rose were already down there. Orihime's was pink with a flower in the center, Rose's had a huge book and was purple, and Lily's was yellow with a flower of a lily in the middle for her name. They all smiled as they sat down to breakfast with Fred, Nevile, Roxanne, and Louis.

"See you all found your gifts easy enough." said Fred with a laugh.

"You all look very nice in those." Molly said coming in with little Molly behind her. Rangiku, Nanao, and Rukia came in. Rukia had a purple one with a bunny on it, Rangiku had a green one with a daphodile, and Nanao a pink one with a book on it. Ichigo, Uryu, Orihime, Chad, Renji, Rukia, Shuhei, Nanao, Toshiro, and Rangiku all bowed.

"Thankyou." they all said.

"It's no trouble dearies, now sit down and eat your breakfast." she said sweetly back to them. The others then came in and started chaos. Uryu slipped out the back for some fresh air.

"They sure are a roudy bunch huh." came a voice. He looked over to see Harry was next to him. Uryu nodded.

"Yeah, sorry, me and my friends aren't used to this. We never really celibrated Christmas before. You see, we don't really have a family to share with." Uryu admitted. Harry nodded.

"I can relate to that from growing up, but you never know when you'll find a family." he said. Uryu nodded.

" , can I ask you something?" Uryu asked. Harry nodded.

"Mr. Ollivander told me about you the day I arrived, about you and Voldemort with wands with similar cores." Uryu said. Harry pulled out a dark wand.

"You mean this? Fox is the name of the phenoix that gave the feathers for our twin cores. He was Professor Dumbldor's friend. He helped me out more than once before." Harry said.

"I heard it was broken." Uryu said. Harry smirked.

"Yeah, but things can always be fixed if you know how to do it." he said with a mischevious wink. Uryu nodded.

"Normally this is a subject I'd rather not discuss on Christmas, but if I'm going to ask you for information I guess it's only fair. What is going on in that school? I know those friends of yours aren't students, not all of them anyway." Harry said. Uryu sighed.

"It's hard to explain. All I know is someone is attacking the students." Uryu said. Harry nodded.

"I was afraid of that. Here, call it a christmas present." Harry said tossing Uryu a gold galleon. "This was my old coin in Dumbledore's Army. I guess it's like the master coin. The charm Hermionie put on it allows you to change the seiriel number on it and when you do all the other coins will vibrate to let the holders know. If you find out who's hurting the other students and you find out you can't take him on yourself, signal us. It doesn't really matter what message you send, just send out something and it will alert everyone who has a coin. That way we can help." Harry said. Uryu gave him a confused look.

"Why didn't you give it to Ichigo?" he asked.

"Ichigo, he your leader? I guess because your the one who seems to know more than the others. You seem like the kind who can do mischevious stuff." Harry said, an old spark in his eyes.

"Mr. Potter, can I ask you something else. The map, it doesn't distinguish between a father and son with the same name right? Like if Fred went it wouldn't coem u as Fred the second, but only as Fred? Even if they change their name." Uryu asked. Harry nodded.

"Your correct. No matter what it'll stay with their actual name and yes, it would come up as Fred Weasley and not Fred II. Why, did you find out anything?" Harry asked. Uryu shock his head.

"Not yet, but I think I just got a new lead." Uryu said. Harry nodded, fixing his glasses.

"Well good luck." he said.

As if they went in a blink of an eye, New Years came and went and the group were arriving back at the castle in their school uniforms. "It's good to be back." James said with a smile.

"Good, becasue now I'm going to need all of you for my plan to work." Uryu said. Everyone turned and gave him an excited grin.

"Sure four-eyes, let's see what you got." James said.

Thank you Flightstar and Phantom Claire! I hope you all like this chapter, because the next one the action heats up!
