For the first week of the holidays Harry spent his days doing his homework, with his dads help.
And finally, at the start of the second week of the holidays Remus announced that they would be visiting the Tonks'. He'd already contacted them and they'd probably end up staying for a good few days. So when they day came they flooed to the familiar house, and Harry grinned when he heard Draco's voice from the kitchen.
"So why won't you tell me who's coming to visit aunt Andromeda? I mean you're cooking so much food!"
"It's a surprise Draco, they'll be here for a few days." he heard her laugh, "And while they're here you'll have another surprise because I have no doubt you'll be dragged along outside.
"I just want to know who it is."
Harry grinned, heading into the kitchen and standing in the doorway, unnoticed for a few moments before he spoke up, "Hey Draco." and the blond whirled around, his eyes going wide in shock.
"Harry? What.. how..."
And Harry laughed, "Dad brought me where after he took me, they've known about me pretty much since day one. Helped me control my abilities." he morphed his face as he said this, turning his nose into a pig snout before changing it back, "Figured it'd be fun to surprise you over the holidays."
Draco grinned and launched himself at Harry, hugging him.
"This is brilliant. I mean not that I wasn't already very happy here but I mean... it'll be great having you here... having someone my own age." And Harry smirked slightly, turning to Andromeda.
"Aunt Andromeda. Can me and Draco..."
"Of course." she chuckled fondly and shook her head, "Of you go, both of you. Be back in two hours okay? Remus you can help me with the cooking."
"Yes Andy." Remus grinned at the boys as Harry grabbed Draco's arm and dragged him outside, tugging him through the familiar streets to a large, very muggle looking house. When they reached the door and knocked Mrs. Granger smiled, "Ah, Harry it's wonderful to see you. I'll just go tell her you're here." Draco had yet to recognise the muggle, but when a moment later Hermione came bouncing down the stairs he let out a laugh.
"I didn't realise how close you lived to me now!"
"It was a surprise." Hermione echoed Harry's earlier words, "It's going to be brilliant having you living there though. Honestly Harry usually spends half his holidays there because of Remus' you know, monthly problem."
"This holiday is going to be brilliant." Draco stated brightly, "It's... I mean mother and father would never let me have friends around over the holidays and now I have two of my best friends, one will be practically living with me and the other lives just down the street.. this is great... if only Ron was here too."
"Well." Harry stated slowly, "I mean... I could probably convince dad to let you two and Ron come over to ours for a week during the holidays. I mean... we have plenty of room in the house..."
"It would be nice to see where you live." Draco grinned, "It always sounds so nice."
"It really is." Hermione stated brightly, "It's in the middle of nowhere so Harry can fly as much as he wants and there's this forest and a stream, and as long as we don't go too far we're allowed to explore as much as we like."
"It is brilliant." Harry stated, not at all modest, "You have your broom right? We could practise flying... I'd share with Ron."
"That'd be good." Draco nodded eagerly, "We should go and ask your dad."
"And maybe if we're lucky we can get aunt Andy to take us to Diagon Alley." Harry stated eagerly, "So we can buy a load of sweets for the week."
"You boys and your food." Hermione laughed and lightly shoved Harry, shaking her head fondly, "Honestly you'd think you were starved most of the time but I know better. You're all just greedy."
"But you still love us." Harry gave her a blinding grin before she rolled her eyes.
"Yes, yes of course I do. Now we should go and ask Remus before we decide to go sending owls to Ron asking him to come round for a week."
"Right." Draco nodded, and with that the trio rushed back towards the Tonks' home, chattering the whole walk back, and grinning when they saw Remus sat outside enjoying the sun, with Harry taking charge almost instantly.
"Dad... is there any chance that all my friends could come over and stay for a week during the holidays... to ours I mean, not here... I mean.. we have so much more space outside and we can fly our brooms and everything."
"Hmmm.." Remus looked thoughtful, "Well I suppose it probably would keep you busy and out from under my feet." he grinned, "Go send an owl, I'll tell Andromeda and I'll go and ask the Grangers what they think, not that they've ever had a problem with Hermione staying the night before."
So they parted ways, the three kids gathering around and quickly writing their letter and sending it off with Hedwig, and when Remus returned he was happy to tell them that the Grangers had agreed, after all they trusted Remus, they'd known him for long enough.
And so the plans were made, and after a few days of back and forth with Harry and Ron, it was agreed that Ted would Floo to the Weasley's to pick up Ron and bring him back to the Tonks' before they then flooed to Harry and Remus' home.
Draco and Hermione would come over a day earlier, since it was much easier for them, and by the day Ron was due to arrive all three of them were buzzing with excitement and waiting by the fireplace as Remus laughed and gently teased them, and when Ron arrived they all took his bags up to the bedroom and put his things away, none of them realising what was soon to come.
