Christmas morning came in its entire splendor. The three boys, Peter had gone home to celebrate the holidays, had spent the first part of the holidays preparing for their trick on the rest of the school. They sat in their dorm and practiced on different objects, until the three boys could do it the first time. It didn't take long. They had argued about the day, but decided on Christmas. While there would not be as many people, the few who had stayed were already envisioning the fine Christmas feasts of Hogwarts. They had found the charm in one of the books they had ordered. They even set up their own dinner in the common room while everyone else figured out the charm. They wanted the first Christmas at Hogwarts to be special.

"SIRIUS! REMUS! Its Christmas!" James threw one pillow at Sirius and the other at Remus. The two sleeping boys continued to dream. "Wake you up too!" James looked at his pile of presents. "PRESENTS!" He called to them. However, there was no response.

James got out of bed and grabbed the water jug. He walked silently over to Sirius' bed, who was still fast asleep. He tipped the water jug quickly.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sirius now awake jumped. His eyes opened and quickly darted the room trying to figure out what happened.

"YOU! IDOIT!" Sirius jumped out of bed and tackled James to the ground. They rolled on the floor play fighting.

The two boys hitting the floor and Sirius' yell was enough to wake Remus. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the ground.

"You're fighting on Christmas?" he asked.

Actually, Sirius was putting his ice cold shirt into James' face. James was trying to push him off. Sirius was trying to get James to share in his misery of being wet and cold.

"PRESENTS!" Remus called happily.

The two boys stopped. They looked at each other and then Sirius scrambled off of James to get to his presents. James got up too and ran at his pile. There was silence as the three boys opened their gifts.

Sirius' pile which consisted of four presents made his heart sink. He could not help but look at it and then at the other boy's piles. He closed his eyes remembering the past Christmas' at Grimmauld Place. How lively they had been, with presents upon presents, food everywhere and another relative always saying how big you have gotten. He knew he would never have another Christmas like those.

"Come on Sirius, let's go get ready for the trick," James came over. Seeing Sirius with his eyes closed, James knew he was thinking about his family.

Sirius opened them and looked into James' worried eyes, "Yeah lets go."

While everyone else was waking up and exchanging presents the three boys were preparing for the best trick so far. They practiced one last time and then went to the Great Hall to wait for the food to appear. The hoped that no one would come down until they had finished.

Soon the house elves magically put the food on the table, there was only one due to lack of students, and the boys set to work.

Finally, the Christmas feast started. The boys arrived with Andromeda and they took seats together at the long table. Dumbledore sat across and a few seats away from them. They were in perfect sight of his reaction. McGonagall sat next to him, along with their Potions professor, Professor Salmon.

"I am so hungry," Andromeda told them eyeing the food.

"So are we," James told her and the other two boys let out a slight cough.

The sign to begin eating came from Dumbledore when he took the meat fork and picked up a few pieces to put on his plate. Everyone began talking, and grabbing forks and spoons and scooping food onto their plates. The three boys slowly put food on their plate.

Andromeda put a mount of mashed potatoes on her plate at once. Sirius knew that her favorite food was potatoes. She took a bit of everything after and quickly cut her meat wanting to eat.

The boys watched Dumbledore. With his fork, he took a piece of just cut meat and moved it towards his mouth. They watched him opened his mouth and then a clang! The three boys covered their mouths as Dumbledore bit down on the fork and not the food.

Dumbledore looked down at his plate thinking his food had fallen.

Andromeda was next. She took some of the mashed potatoes on her fork and as the fork went in her mouth, the food was gone.

"What?" she looked at her fork confused.

Everyone else now was trying the food. No one had anymore luck.

Dumbledore tried eating twice more with no more luck. He was now scanning the table looking for guilty faces, or perhaps the answer.

"I think I'm going to be sick," Sirius grabbed his stomach and ran out of the Hall.

"He was sick all last night," James told Andromeda who looked at him concerned. James then ran out after his friend.

Remus looked around, "Best go made sure James can get him to a bathroom safety." He departed.

Dumbledore watched their retreating backs, "I do believe we have been tricked." He looked down at his food yet, and his stomach rumbled.

At that moment, a single owl came into the Hall and headed toward Andromeda. She opened it confused.

Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and James Potter invite you to the Gryffindor Tower for a Christmas feast you can actually eat.

She read it once, and then smiled. She looked at it again but the words had disappeared and she was left with a blank piece of parchment. She quickly excused herself and went out after the boys.

They were waiting for her in the Entrance Hall.

"I thought you would come," James laughed.

Andromeda looked at Sirius, "You aren't really sick?"

"Of course not," He nudged James.

"Come on everyone, our feast is waiting," James told them and they made to go up the stairs leading to Gryffindor Tower.

Sirius had reached the stairs when the big wooden doors opened. Sirius turned around to

see who it was.

A man entered. He walked slowly into the Entrance Hall, he had a cane in his left hand,

white hair, rich black robes with gold buttons, and two boxes in his old right hand. His face was lined with wrinkles and on his nose sat a pair of small glasses.

"Uncle!" Andromeda whispered and then like a child she ran down the stairs and across the hall to meet her uncle. He put down the boxes and welcomed her into his opened arms. "Its so good to see you! You didn't tell me you were coming!"

Andromeda turned around to see Sirius at the bottom of the stairs. He looked weary, not sure who the man was.

"Sirius, this is your great uncle. Uncle Alphard!"

Sirius smiled and ran toward him too. He extended his hand to him and spoke slowly, "Hello Sirius. It has been awhile since I saw you last."
