Hello readers and welcome to my new chapter. On this one, Harry and Riley will talk to each other about the kiss and then the two, along with their family, will be celebrating christmas. I hope you enjoy.

P.S. Last chapter, it was Christmas Eve when they went playing in the snow and ice skating. Sorry for not telling you guys that.

25 Christmas Day

It's been hours since the trip to the winter park, when Harry and Riley had their first kiss. After ice skating a bit more, the two went back to Riley's home to think about the kiss. Harry, Sirius, and Remus was invited to stay at the Anderson household to celebrate christmas together, so Harry is sleeping in Riley's room with a sleeping bag while Sirius and Remus stayed in the guest room.

At first, Riley's dad had a problem with Harry staying with Riley in her room, but her mom assured him that nothing is going to happen. Harry is just too polite and innocent to think about doing anything to Riley, so she doesn't really worry all that much.

Right now, the two are silent, the two of them thinking on what to say. Riley was on her bed while Harry was on a sleeping bag Mr. Anderson found for him. Whenever the two try to look at each other, they blush and look away very quickly.

In Riley's head, Fear is freaking out. "Oh no, have we pushed too far? Riley can't even look at Harry without turning red and the same for Harry. We should've waited, we should've-"

"Fear." Joy interjected, stopping the easily scared emotion from babbling more. "They just need a bit of time to think to themselves. Affection hadn't steered us wrong yet and I doubt she will today."

Before Fear could think of countering it, Disgust popped in. "Joy's right. I may have not gotten along with Affection at first, but I can tell she knows more about this stuff than we do. And the last time we stopped one of us from listening to their kids, it ended badly." Joy stopped herself from flinching at that. She know Disgust was only trying to prove a point, but it still hurts, bringing up that time. She still feels that guilt from isolating Sadness like that when Riley needed her.

Affection has a big smile on her face. She is happy that Joy and Disgust are defending her action, showing how much they trust her. "Lets just let Riley get herself calm before she talks to Harry."

Meanwhile, in Harry's head, the emotions are having a similar discussions. "How can you do that Affection?!" Fear freaked, pulling his only hair. "We don't know if Riley liked him!"

"It just felt like the right time to kiss her, especially with the mistletoe." Affection defended himself. "Besides, Riley kissed back, that must mean something."

"Or maybe human instincts." Fear retorted back, pacing around. "Oh, what do we do, what do we do, what do we do? This is a disaster."

Sadness decided that this is the time to step in. "Fear." She called out, gaining Fear's attention. "We all had that gut feeling at one time or another, and it hasn't proved any of us wrong yet. Trust that Affection made the right decision and hope for the best." She can see the conflict dance in his eyes. But eventually, he nodded to her consent.

Affection gave her a grateful smile, before looking on the screen. He really hope he didn't made a mistake with Harry and that Sadness is correct.

The two young children kept quiet until Harry spoke up first, surprisingly. "Riley?" Harry said, gaining the girl's attention. "When we kissed, did you….felt any emotions?"

Riley stood silent for a moment, wondering if she should tell Harry about her feelings for him. Before she could make the decision though, he continued. "It just….I want to know if you felt any joy, or disgust, or any regret in that kiss?" Harry asked, before looking at her in the eye. "Cause for me, I felt….happy, that my first kiss is you."

Riley's heart skipped a beat at the confession. "R-Really?" Harry nodded at her nervous question.

"Yes." Harry said. He paused, gaining up his Gryffindor courage to say the next one. "It's because….I have feelings for you. I don't know if they're strong, but it's there. Your were my first friend here, someone who showed me happiness. Even with my other friends back home, I never did feel what I felt when I'm with you. When I'm around you now I feel like that I don't have to hide who I am, or be wary. Even with the argument we had months ago, I still think you are one of the few people I would go to first."

Riley uncharastically started to tear up at the confession. It sounded so sincere, so truthful, coming from Harry. She saw him take a deep breath before speaking. "We may have known each other for only months, but….I know I like you."

Riley stayed silent, various emotions playing inside her. Joy and relief being the most prominent. Joy that Harry like her like she does him and relief for the very same reason. In her head, Affection and Joy are jumping up and down, squealing in happiness at that while the others have smiles on their faces, even Anger has a small one.

Taking Riley's silence as rejection, Harry grew a bit depress. "We can still be friends if you don't like me the same way. I just felt-" Before he could say anything else, Riley launch herself at him and gave him the biggest hug. That surprised Harry, but luckily, he didn't throw into a panic like he would've months ago.

"Don't you dare finish that Harry Potter." Riley commanded him, her voice filled with happiness. Not her usual cheerfulness, but it's still pleasant to hear. "I like you too. I had a crush on you ever since I've first met you, and it only increased as we spent time together all these months. I like your kindness, bravery, your shyness, not to mention good looks." Harry blushed a little at the last part, but still payed attention to Riley. "I like everything about you, good traits and bad. So don't even think that I don't."

Harry was stunned for a second, just for a second, before a large smile blossomed on his face. He hugged Riley as tightly as she did, with her returning the hug. "So….are we boyfriend and girlfriend now?"

Riley laughed a little as they ended the hug, flicking his nose. "Of course we are." Harry smiled, with a blush blossoming his cheek.

"So, can I kiss you again?" Harry asked quietly, his blush rising further. He never really had a girlfriend before, due to most girls at the wizard world only interested in the 'boy-who-lived', so he's very nervous about it.

Riley blushed as well at the question. Like Harry, she never dated anyone either, and despite being a confident, happy-go-lucky girl, she's nervous. So she did what's best. Instead of answering the question verbally, she kissed him on the lip. Harry was surprised for only a second before kissing back. The first kiss was awkward at first, since the two didn't know what to do, but they are fast learners and they started to do better.

In Riley's head, a pink orb started rolling down the memory core. The emotions followed the orb until it got it, causing something that made Affection's eyes shine in happiness. A new island formed with the others, with several hearts on it, flowers, and the memory of Riley's and Harry's first kiss on top of it. Romance island.

Joy smiled widely while Affection press her body on the glass to get a better look. The island has some joy in it, but it was mainly hers. "Congratulations Affection. You got your very own island."

"And it looks like it's going to be powered up a lot." Disgust commented, watching as Riley kissed Harry. "Can't say I'm upset about it." As the other emotions offer their congratulations to Affection, the smile stayed on the emotions face as she gazed at the new island. This is officially the best day of her early life.

And she has a feeling that there will be more best days to come.

(Christmas Morning)

The light peeking through the window caused Harry to wake up from his slumber. He yawned before looking at Riley, who is resting on his shoulder.

He automatically smiled, remembering what happened last night. He and Riley confessed to each other before becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. The two of them kiss a couple of times before the both of them dozed off.

In his head, Affection gazed at the new island. While Harry and Riley was kissing, romance island appeared, with family and friendship island powering up even more.

He never thought he would get a island of his own this early, but life is full of surprises. But while he enjoyed having it, he is even more happy that Harry found himself someone to love and be affectionate with. He has Sirius and Remus, sure, but the boy needs every kind of bond he could find. Seeing the memories of his past life proves it.

"So how was Harry's dreams?" Affection heard from behind him. He turn to see Sadness behind him, who look like she just woken up.

Affection smile at his friend and leader before speaking, "Everything was well. No nightmares about dementors or the Dursleys." Sadness sigh in relief. Those dreams come more times than she likes to see.

"Good." Sadness said, before gazing at the screen. She smiled at the site of a sleeping Riley. "Oh, she just looks so cute."

"Agreed." Affection said, joining Sadness' side. Outside, Harry was about to get up to get back to his sleeping back, before Riley clutch his body tighter.

"No." Riley mumbled in her sleep. "Stay." Harry smiled a bit wider while Sadness bit back a squeal. What, she maybe a emotion of sorrow, but that doesn't mean she doesn't find things cute. She just hides it better.

"Wish I could, but if your dad sees us like this, he might get angry." Harry told her softly. One of the things that acts up his panic attacks is when adults get angry at him. He's good at controlling it so far (Especially since Snape glared at him 24/7), but there might be a day where the dam will crack.

Riley opened her eyes a little, wondering what Harry meant by that, when she felt her pillow was a bit firm. She woke herself fully to see that she was sleeping on Harry's shoulder, with her arms around his waist. She blushed fully at that.

"Right, we don't want anyone seeing us like this." Riley said nervously, the two quickly getting up. "When should we tell our parents that we're dating?"

Harry thought about it for a minute before speaking. "It's probably be best to tell them today. I just hope your dad doesn't kill me." Despite getting along with the elder Anderson, Harry can see that Riley's dad is overprotective. He still remembers the time he caught them cuddling with each other while watching Iron Man 3.

"Imagine how he would react when he found out we slept with each other." Riley giggled, but Harry turned bright red at the innuendo. Riley stopped laughing, wondering why Harry is blushing, when she realize the innuendo herself. "No, not that kind of sleep! God Harry, when did your mind get into the gutters?"

"Ever since I've become friends with Katie and Selene." Harry said blankly. Those two have very dirty minds.

(Few minutes later, living room and kitchen)

Harry and Riley quickly went downstairs, with the adults joining them few minutes later. Riley is opening her presents, with Sirius, Bill, and Remus with her, while Harry and Jill prepared breakfast. At first, Jill wanted Harry to open his own presents, but Harry insisted on helping her cook.

"You really didn't need to help me out Harry." Jill told him while she made the eggs. Harry himself is making the pancakes. "I could've done it myself."

"I know, but I wanted to." Harry said, not looking away from his task. "I love cooking, and it's fun cooking with you." Jill giggled at that. She remembered the time at Thanksgiving when Harry started preparing the Thanksgiving meal when he, Sirius, and Remus stayed over during Thanksgiving. She was really surprised to see him prepare the food when she was about to make it herself.

However, her mood turned sad when she heard him whisper the last part. "I also like doing things for people that care about me." Jill felt sad for Harry and angry at the monsters who would abuse this sweet boy. Why would anyone hurt him just for being different than others? If anything, his magic makes him special.

If anything though, she is glad that Harry came here. The boy quickly got a place in Riley's group of friends and her heart, as well this family. "Well thank you Harry, for helping me out." Jill said, giving the boy a one-arm hug. Harry accepted the hug, smiling and slightly tearing up. The first time he was gently hugged by the mother, tears poured out of his eyes. Now, he's slowly getting use to having motherly affection from Mrs. Anderson. "And when we eat, make sure you get enough to fill you. Not that really small amount you had last time."

The boy blushed in embarrassment at that. "Sorry, habit." Harry muttered, ducking his head down. Whenever he made the food, all he get was a piece of bread, and that's on a lucky day.

After making the food, the two of them prepared the plates to bring to the others. But before Harry could grab his and Riley's plate, the two of them heard a squeal and they look to see Riley running in the kitchen before tackling Harry in a hug. The boy was startled, but luckily, he kept himself and Riley balanced while the girl still clinged on to him.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Riley gushed, rubbing her cheeks on Harry's, causing the boy to blush massively. Her mother, meanwhile, look at the two in amusement while the men went in the kitchen, all of them with amused expressions.

"I say she likes the new owl you gave her Harry." Sirius replied with a chuckle. During the break, he asked Jill and Bill Anderson if he could give Riley an owl for her Christmas. After discussing it, the parents agreed to let him.

Harry chuckled, wrapping his arms around his girlfriend. Riley then pulled back from him, and before he knew it, Riley kissed him full on the lip. His eyes' widen at that, along with all the adults around them.

In Bill's head, all the emotions gaped at the scene before Anger yelled, "Red alert!" causing Fear to slam the red button near him. That cause the alarms to sound, with the word "Boy!" repeated in the intercom.

After a couple of seconds, Riley ended the kiss. Riley giggled when Harry looked at her with wide eyes. "Did I really get that good? We only kissed about three times yesterday. First time at the park and the others before we fell asleep on each other."

"Um, Riley…." Harry said nervously, looking behind the girl. Riley's eyes widen before noticing her mom's surprised look. Then she look back to see a grinning Sirius, an amused Remus, and a angry Bill.

"So you finally got yourself a girlfriend." Sirius said, still grinning at him. "James would be so proud of you right now." Harry wasn't focused on Sirius though. He is focused on the overprotective father,who is walking over to them, with a frown on his face and his fist clenched.

In his head, Fear is freaking. "Oh no! Oh no, no, no, no, NO!" Fear scrambled to the console and press every single button he could, in a fast speed. That caused Harry to pale and walk backwards from the man until he hit Mrs. Anderson's body.

Before he could move further towards him, Riley got in front of Harry with her arms wide. "Don't dad. There's no reason to hurt Harry here." She told him.

He didn't relent, however. "Move over, Riley. I'm just want to talk to him." Bill said firmly. "Harry may be your friend, but you're still too young to date."

Before Riley could say anything, Jill spoke up. "Bill, stop it." She told him firmly. "There isn't anything wrong with Harry and Riley dating each other." Bill blinked at her in shock.

"You approve of her dating at this age?"

"If it were some other boy we didn't know, I wouldn't." She admitted to him. "But Harry has been her friend for months now and you know he's not the kind of boy who would take advantage of her. And your scaring him."

Bill looked down to see Harry very pale, looking like someone is about to hit him. He sighed, his anger lost. He forgot the boy was abused by his former guardians, and it still baffles him that Harry ended up a very kind boy.

"Okay, Im not going to do anything." Bill sighed, knowing he's not going to win this argument. Riley sighed in relief before turning to Harry is concern, who still looked very pale. Unnoticed by anyone, Sirius and Remus discreetly put up their wands. They were prepared if Bill was going to get violent at Harry.

"Harry?" Riley asked in concern. "Are you okay?" The boy started breathing in and out slowly, color returning to his face.

"Yeah, I am." Harry said, getting off of Jill. Then he looked embarrassed, remembering why he was leaning on the mother. "Sorry Mrs. Anderson." Harry said apologetically, turning to her.

She merely smiled at him. "It's okay. You were scared, for a good reason." She gave her husband a look while he rubbed his head sheepishly. Then she looked at Harry with a small frown. "And what did I say about calling me Mrs. Anderson? I told you to call me Jill."

Harry smiled sheepishly. "I'm sorry. I was just….raised to be polite to people." Jill frowned, knowing that his relatives must have beaten him up if he addressed them informally.

Jill shook her head, forgetting about that, before pushing Harry to the living room. "Okay, let's go to the living room. There are a lot of other presents waiting."

(Living Room)

While everyone ate breakfast, Harry and Riley are opening gifts. Even though he been getting gifts ever since he was eleven, he still gets surprised whenever he gets anything for Christmas. While it's not a pile of gifts like Riley has, he is still glad to have one gift.

Riley already opened all of her gifts, including her owl, who is perched on her shoulder. Harry has yet to open his gift, content to watch Riley open hers. "So Harry, are you going to open yours?" Riley asked him, after opening the last of her gifts.

Harry nodded, before looking at the only gift he has. Like he said before, he isn't disappointed. He actually asked Sirius to only give him one gift. He doesn't want his godfather to waste any money, and he doesn't want to be like Dudley, who always has piles of gifts from Vernon and Petunia, as well as Marge.

Harry slowly opened the gift, careful not to rip the wrapper, when his eyes widen at what he saw. "A firebolt?" Harry whispered in awe, looking at the broom. "Is that why you didn't buy a broom all this time?" He asked Sirius, looking at him.

Sirius laughed at that. "Guilty." Sirius said, raising his hand in surrender. "I was gonna give it to you sooner, but I thought it would be better to give it to you on Christmas." Harry smileed, his eyes tearing up a little. A gift from strangers was one thing (At the time, Molly was a stranger when she gave him the gifts on first year), but getting a gift from someone that was family to him made him really happy.

In his head, Joy is cheering and flying around the room, very happy at getting a new broom, while Affection got on the console. "We need to thank Sirius for this." He said, and his influence cause Harry to hug his godfather.

"Thank you." Harry whispered to him, feeling a bit overwhelmed. He has been doing well, holding back his emotions, but this was becoming a bit too much for him. Sirius smiled softly, before hugging his godson.

"Your welcome pup." Sirius said softly at him as everyone watched the touching scene. They hugged for a few minutes before Harry ended it and quickly grab his broom.

"So Riley, want to fly with me on my new broom?" Harry asked her, summoning his broom. Riley smiled before getting up from her seat.

"Sounds like fun."

And that's the end. I hope everyone liked this chapter. I felt like putting in some Sirius and Harry bonding at the end, just felt right to me, so I hope you guys liked it. Review, favorite, and follow, and I will see you guys later.
