Twin Power

Chapter 11: Christmas and surprises

"NM, that could only be one person, and I hope that her help is being offered as truthful. If it is, then I think that we should tell Draco and Pansy." Harry sat up and looked over at the Malfoy's and asked them if they would meet him in his office after dinner. It wouldn't take to long, and they will be able to get back to there family really quickly. They nodded and went back to eating there dinner.

After dinner Draco and Pansy sent the little ones off with there brother, and went up to Harry's office. They gave the password to the gargoyle, and road the stairs up to his office. Draco knocked on the door, and was told to enter right away. "You wanted to see us Harry? Does it have something to do with my father?" Draco got to the point right away as was his usual tact.

Harry gave him a smile, and asked them to sit. "Draco, Pansy I got some interesting news today in that letter I received. It was from someone that we thought was away from our past for a long time, but then again, we also thought that your father was also. Draco, it seems that your mother is still alive, and she has offered her help as a spy in your fathers inner circle. She wrote that there was going to be an attack on Hogsmeade at the beginning of the year. I thought you two should know everything that I knew. You can go back to your family, and I have a good night. I will let you know whatever happens." Harry gave them both a smile and watched as they left the room.

THE NEXT DAY

Everyone woke up to a beautiful White Christmas and there wasn't a single person that didn't come down to the Great Hall to participate in the Christmas ritual. They all seemed to want to find out what was going on, and have fun that day. When they reached the Great Hall, they found that it was filled with the usual decorations, but also there was a tree set at the head of the hall that was surrounded with hundreds upon thousands of presents. When everyone was there and settled down, the headmaster stood and smiled to everyone. "Happy Christmas to you all, and I am happy to see that everyone decided to participate with us this morning. If you will all calm down a bit, I have a couple of announcements to make before our special guests arrives. One, the snowball fight will right after breakfast our on the Quidditch pitch, followed by a scrumptious lunch and then the Snowman Building contest which there will be prizes for each of teams, depending one whether they place 1st 2nd or 3rd . There will only be three teams, so everyone will win something. Tonight there is going to be a feast to rival all feasts, including the welcoming feasts. The house elves will be working on it all day long from immediately after breakfast. Now if you will all calm down, I think I hear someone up on the roof of the castle." Everyone in the hall was able to hear the gentle clinking of bells and then there attention went suddenly to the fireplace where there was a poof like someone was flooing in, but instead of someone flying out of the fireplace, they came down it. They saw a man in a red suit and a long beard. He was carrying a large bag over his shoulder, and came in and sat in a large chair that was set up for him in the middle of the hall. Everyone was excited at the appearance of Santa Clause, and they knew that it was going to be a special day indeed. "Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas everyone. Now let's do this the right way, I have something for everyone. Let's do this by age, with the youngest coming up first, then we will go by age on up to even the adults." Santa had a twinkle in his eyes, that if anyone had noticed, they might have thought that it was the same as there former Headmaster, but then they didn't really care. The youngest of them all, Ginny Potters new daughter was brought up with her mother to sit on Santas lap for the first time, and was given a teddy bear. All the younger ones under the age of two were given teddy bears, and the ones above two were given some kind of sweet and offered a bear if they wanted one. A lot of them wanted the special Santa bear also, so it seemed that the hole school had one by the end of the day, including the adults and teachers. Once they had all got a chance to meet with Santa, everyone sat around the big tree to be handed out there presents, there were plenty of presents for everyone, and no one went without. Along with what they got normally from friends and family, there was little trinkets and toys from Santa and his elves. There were wizadring chess sets and exploding snaps, along with candies and all kind of fun stuff. Alex and Nichole Potter got there new brooms, along with there younger brother James that was going to start Hogwart's in a couple of years. Next came Caroline, who got a sneazle kitten from the latest litter from Crookshanks and his mate. Caroline was there fourth oldest, being born a couple of years after Ginny graduated, and then her little sister Jenny came a year later, and she got an owl. Then there was maddy, the youngest who was sitting there cooing and playing with her new teddy bear. Caroline had her mothers hair and eyes, while James and Jenny has there fathers hair, just not as messy, and his brilliant sparkling emerald green eyes.

Ages of the Potter children are, Alex and Nichole 11. James 9, Caroline, 7, Jenny 6, and finally Maddy a couple of days. Saying that they were a happy family would be an understatement. You couldn't tell that they were possibly back in the middle of a war, but were just a happy family. They enjoyed the day quite well, and were seen smiling all the time.

A/N: Ok I promise that this isn't the last chapter about Christmas, the next chapter will be about the rest of the day, I just wanted to get it out there and tell you about the other children of Harry and Ginny. Thank you and I hope that this wasn't a disappointment. —Donald
