"HARRY WAKE UP!" Samantha screamed hitting her older brother over the head with a pillow, repeatedly. Harry groaned as she shoved the pillow away, and jumped out of his bed, flinging his little sister over his shoulder, tickling her as he ran down the stairs – the small redhead screaming the entire way!

"Harry!" Ron groaned as he trailed after the pair. "Make it stop!"

Finally they reached the living room to find everyone else already there, and waiting impatiently.

"Can we open our presents now!" Joshua demanded from beside his mum, Claire.

"Ready, set, GO!"

Wrapping paper was flying through the air, as the kids scrambled to open their presents. Harry sighed; glad he's sent Katie her present last night, he held the small package she had sent him in his hands, turning it over curiously, the note attached to the silver paper read, iHarry, have a good Christmas with your family, I'll be thinking of you, Love Katie. P.S. Don't open this in front of your family, no it's nothing bad./iHarry grinned as he reread the note, and quickly stuffed the package in his pockets before turning to the rest of his presents.

He'd received a few bits and bobs, a couple of books, a lot of chocolate, a new broom servicing kit, and, most fantastic of all – A FIREBOLT X!

It was much the same in shape as the original Firebolt, however this one had a beautiful reddish colouring, and had his initials inscribed into it.

Ron, Oliver and Benjamin all stared enviously at the broom lying in Harry's hands, a present from his father and godfather, James and Sirius.

"Y-you got it…" Ron trailed off, his jaw hitting the floor, as Ginny leaned forward to get a good look, even she was enthralled.

"It's so pretty…"

"Invite Katie over, and her family," Lily said to Harry the next day. "We're having a bit of a party for New years, Ginny is inviting over a friend, and Neville is coming over, and I've invited an old friend over, she has a son, I believe he goes to Hogwarts too…" She mused, then smiled at Harry. "And your grandparents are coming over."

Harry grinned as there was a knock at the door; he opened it, and faltered.

"Seamus?" Harry asked confused, he looked at the boy he had known for the past five years with confused eyes, what was he doing here?

"Hey," Seamus said looking as confused as Harry. Lily appeared behind him and smiled brightly at the blonde haired woman behind Seamus.

"Robyn, gosh, you look fantastic!" Lily exclaimed, pulling the woman into a bone crushing hug.

"LILY! I missed you so much; I can't believe you so willingly welcomed me back." The woman said, sounding teary, Harry and Seamus looked at each other oddly before turning back to their mum's.

"Of course I did you silly fool, you're one of my best friends, how could I not?" Lily asked, she smiled at Robyn once more before turning to Seamus. "I'm Lily, I'm not sure if you've met-"

"Mum, Seamus is in my house and year," Harry interrupted.

"Oh!" Lily said looking surprised. "Well that's excellent; you'll know each other well then." She turned back to Robyn. "Where's Michael?"

"Not here, he's busy with work. He does remember you very clearly, he asked me to tell you he is awfully sorry, and hopes that he will get the chance to see you again soon," Robyn said smiling ruefully at Lily.

"Don't worry, we'll have to get together again soon anyways, oh, if you go straight down the corridor, and down the stairs everyone is down there, I've got to get all the kids together," Lily said, she grinned at Harry before he led Seamus and his mum down to the kitchen, where everyone was lounging.

"So who else is coming to this thing?" Seamus asked curiously, looking around his surroundings.

"Well they entire family is here, the Weasley's will all be here shortly, err, Katie and her family will be getting here, and…."

"Don't forget Neville!" Sophie called to him as she stalked past, pulling her hair into a ponytail.

"I thought that was implied, he is your cousin," Harry sighed; Sophie looked back at him, rolling her eyes.

"Yes, but he isn't your cousin," Sophie pointed out. "So people don't always think of him, now do they?"

Harry was about to argue, but the door bell rang and Seamus laughed when Harry quickly got to his feet and dashed towards the door, slowing enough to make it seem like he wasn't too eager.

Only he was to be left disappointed when he saw his grandparents standing there, they had arrived at the same time it seem, as Granddad Mark and Grandma Rose, stood smiling brightly at him, and beside them Granddad Harold and Nana Christine.

"Hi!" Harry said surprised.

"Harry, you've gotten so big, come and give you Nan a hug!" Rose said, engulfing Harry into her arms, kissing the top of his head as she walked in. "Where's your brother and sister?"

Harry watched in a daze as all four of his grandparents whizzed past him, and engulfed various grandchildren into hugs, it took him a second to realise that there was someone else standing in the doorway, a particularly beautiful blonde girl he knew well.

"That was cute," Katie told Harry as she lay down on the bed beside Harry, away from yelling younger siblings / cousins, and nosey grandparents. She smiled at Harry as she rested her head in her hand, watching him as he lay on his back, arms crossed behind his head.

"What was cute?" Harry asked, eyebrows furrowing as he tried to remember the 'cute' things he could have done…

"Your face when your grandparents turned up, you looked so surprised and yet really happy," Katie told him, moving so she too was lying on her back, and smiling up at the ceiling.

"They're my grandparents, of course I'm happy to see them," Harry replied, slightly confused.

"I guess so, I wouldn't know, mine died when my parents were young," Katie said quietly.

"Oh," Harry said, blinking rapidly and sitting up and looking down at Katie with concern. "I didn't know."

"Of course you didn't, I never told you," Katie said smiling lightly at Harry, reaching up and stroking back his hair.

"I should've asked."

Katie laughed; she sat up and smiled at Harry.

"That would have been a great moment. 'So Katie, your grandparents, they still around?'" Katie grinned at him. "I never told you Harry, I really don't expect you to just know things about me that I don't tell anyone – that's kinda stalker-ish."
