The following Saturday was the first quiditch game of the season with Gryffindor against Hufflepuff. Gryffindor won easily but it had been a good match. The week prior Harry would disappear for an hour every night after dinner. What no one knew was that he was secretly going to Giffian Manor and having long talks with Godric, in their talks, they spent time figuring out the perefect Christmas gift for Neville. Godric thought this gift that Harry would be giving to Neville just before vacation a risk, but Harry thought it a very nessary risk.

School got harder as December approached. The teachers loading down their students with work because vaction was soon approuching. The DA and The Order of the Lily where working just as hard if not more. The Order Of The Lily had taken in three new members one a 2nd year Slytherin girl named Julie and two other Hufflepuff boys.

Hogsmead weekends where the most exciting times for the Order of the Lily. The reason being third year students and above where able to finally put to practice some of their skills, keeping an eye out for any attacks or suspicious people. Thankfully the town had not been attacked at all, but that in not to say that Voldemort had been quite.

Voldemort and his Death Eaters had started their attacks on Muggle streets. The first had been on Harry's Aunt and cousin. Dudley had not been home at the time but his Aunt had been tortured until she was killed. When Harry heard the news he became very angery. He may hate that whole family but he never wanted to see his Aunt dead, his only real last connection to his mother.

The next couple of days after, Harry had not been a pleasent person to be around. On sevral ocasions Harry told people off for just breathing to close to him. This was largly due to the fact that when Harry went to his Aunt's funeral, Marge Dursley practically attacked him why Dudley tried to smother him, yelling at him that it was his fault. If it had not been for Ron and Sirius, Harry could of been seriously hurt. The worst part was that almost every night after his Aunt's death, Harry's nightmares came back full force. He would dream of parents dieing tring to save their children. Little boys and girls screaming for the parents as a green light, the killing curse, killed them or worst came right before Christmas where Harry had been forced to watch a little girl who was tied to a chair, watch as her parents, sister and two brothers where torched until they where begging for death.

Harry was wakened every night after his dreams by Ginny. She would then crawl into bed and hold him until he fell back asleep. It seemed very few things made Harry happy. Those being Ginny, his children and Hali. Any time any one walked in on Harry sitting, playing or just holding on of his children or Hali, one could not help but smile.

Little by litte Harry started to recover from his Aunt's death. His nightmares still stayed but at least the pain from his Aunt's death was dulling. Time had gone so quickly that all Hogwarts students found themselves at the last weekend before Christmas vaction. Harry along with Mrs. Weasely had decided to have Chrsitmas at Giffian Manor. Where they all would return in a matter of days.

That weekend was a Hogsmead weekend. Harry still had not done any shopping for any one. This year he wanted to go all out, seeing as it was his childrens' and Chris' first Christmas. Leaving all the kids with Ron and Hermione who had done their shopping a week before, Harry and Ginny set out with a bag full of galleons.

They spent the whole day shopping, Ginny could not remember seeing Harry so alive. He ran into each store with a new found joy. He wanted to make this the best christmas ever and wanted to get every one something he knew they would really want. Like for Hali, he bought her a childs firebolt, he was going to teach her how to fly. Hermonie's gift was something very old that actually came from the manor. In the manor with directions from Godric Harry was able to find an original copy of Hogwarts: a History. He could not wait to see her open it. He bought for Sirius and the whole Weasley/ Lupin family. He bought his little Anne a collection of books of all sorts. Anne loved being read to sleep while his son Jason liked to explore every thing, for him Harry bought a portable swing set that could be taken to Hogwarts. The whole day was spent buying gifts upon gifts for his family. Soon it was getting late and Harry had only one more gift to buy but he could not do it with Ginny around him. He would have to find time before Christmas.

As Ginny and Harry walked back Ginny stopped, "Oh Harry" she said "we forgot a gift for Neville." "No worries luv I already got him a gift" responded Harry not going into details about what the gift was. The couple continued their walk. All their packages had already been sent to the castle.

On their walk back it started to snow, Ginny shivered in her coat so Harry put his arm around her. She smiled up at him. "This is nice" said Ginny to him. "Yeah it is" replied Harry. "It's very nice."

"Harry" said Ginny "can I ask you favor?" Harry nodded his head yes. "Harry would you mind if Rose came to stay at the Manor over Christmas" asked Ginny. "She has no where else to go and well I thought it be nice if she spent it with us." "I think it's a great idea" replied Harry. Ginny kissed him on the cheek.

Harry's cheek turned slightly pink with a blush. He could not help but stare at the beautiful woman next to him. The white snow flakes glistening in her hair, how her eyes lite up when she talked and her smile. There was nothing better then her smile. He wished that he could freeze this moment, it was just so perfect, but sadly that would not be so. So he just smiled at her and continued their walk back.

That night Harry and Ginny sat cuddled up on their couch in Griff's living room. Just enjoying the peace after having wrapped all the gifts and sent them with Hedwig and Fawlks over to Giffian Manor. Ginny fell asleep on top of Harry two hours later and Harry quietly slipped from the couch. He picked her up, barley using any of his strength and took her to her bed.

"Harry," she said sleepily. "Sleep Gin, every thing is fine" said Harry. She rolled over and feel back asleep. Harry smiled and exited her room, closing her door. He kept walking until he totally left Griff's room and was on his way to the 6th year boys dormitory.

It was late, and Harry had expected to see all the guys asleep but was happy to see Neville wide awake sitting on his bed reading something that Harry could not quite see. "Hello Harry" said Neville in a sober tone, noticing his friend. "Hey Neville" replied Harry walking over and taking a seat at the end of his friends bed. "What's going on" said Harry indicating what Neville had just been reading.

"It's a letter from my Gram's" said Neville in a grave tone. "St. Mongols wrote to her. It seems my mum and dad are not doing to well. My dad doesn't even talk at all any more and my mum" said Neville carefully "keeps yelling out your Father's name." finished Neville looking Harry in the eyes, unashamed of the tears building up in his own.

"Well" said Harry not wanting to give Neville hope if his plan did not work "I actually came to talk to you about your parents. I... um I think I found a cure Neville. I think I can heal them but I am not sure and if I mess us there could be dire consequences for your" but Harry did not even get to finish before Neville could but in.

"Are you serious," said Neville. "No" said Harry "but he is my godfather" finished Harry blocking a pillow from hitting his head. "No, Neville I think it could work, I have been working on it for the last couple of weeks and if you and your Gram's would let me I would like to try" finished Harry.

Neville took along deep breath, showing he was every bit of his Gryffindor side in his eyes. "We go home in a couple of days. Let me talk it over with my Gram's, can I call you on the mirror with my decision" asked Neville. "Of course," said Harry. "But also I was hoping that you and your Gram's would join me for Chrsitmas eve. I'll come pick you up that afternoon around 2" said Harry. Neville nodded. Both boys wished each other good night and went to bed. Neville with a lot to think about.

The next couple of days went by faster then people expected. Rose had been ecstatic when she found out she would be going with Harry and his family for Christmas. Bobby was excited about going home as well, though he did not give any information about his home to any one. Scarlet was nervous but determined, Harry told her over and over again she was welcome to join them at his place but Scarlet said she needed to face her mother and brother sooner or later. And Mark well he was going home, but was constantly afraid for his parents or biologically his aunt and Uncle. Harry finally noticing that Mark was agitated asked the boy what was wrong, and Mark told him.

"I'm afraid Harry for my parents. I mean they are not magical and if they are attacked they can't defend themselves and it worries me. And I know they are worried too" finished Mark. "Well" said Harry "go home and I'll pick you up the following day with your parents. They can stay at my place for as long as you and they would like" said Harry. "Are you sure" said Mark, a twinkle in his eye. "Of course" said Harry, who was then thanked profusely by Mark who ran up to the owlery, to owl his parents so they could start packing. Harry also wrote to Mrs. Weasley to tell her who else would be joining them.

The morning came when all Hogwarts students would be going home for Christmas vacation. Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Sirius, Rose and all the kids stuff where sent ahead to the Manor along with Talos and Istash and the kids and Rose. Harry insisted on riding the train back.

The train ride had been very peaceful. When they arrived at the train station Harry told Mark he would be coming at 9 am the following day and told Scarlet he was just a call away. Neville also promised to call the next day by mirror to give his answer.

Staying on the train, Harry turned in to his Phoenix form and took his friends and family back to Giffian Manor.

"Dadda" shrieked Jason standing up and wobbling over to Harry on two feet. Harry scooped him up, stunned. His son had just taken his first steps. Things could not of been better.

The day was December 21st and Griffian Manor was alive with excitement as the Weaseleys, Blacks, Lupins, Potters and Rose decorated the house from head to toe, with of course help from Dobby and Winky.

It was midnight by the time every one got to bed. The following morning Harry would pick up the Evens, it was still very weird to think that Mark was Professor Snape's son, Harry was just glad that when he told Ron, that Ron did not flip.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The next day Harry got up, had a small breakfast before leaving for the Evans.

It was weird being back, so close to his number 4. Harry appeared out side of the Evans house and knocked on the door. The door was opened by a slim looking woman, in her late thirties with short kinky black hair and grey eyes. "Hello Mrs.Evans" said Harry politle. "Oh none of that" said Mrs. Evans. "Call me Janet and please come in Harry we are almost ready" she said ushering him in to her nice neat house.

"Just give Tim and me a couple more minutes. Mark is just down the hall" finished Janet running up the stairs.

Harry walked down the hall way and found Mark in what Harry prusemed as Mark's room. "Hey Mark" said Harry. "Morning Harry" replied Mark. Both boys made pleasent coverstions when Mark's parents called them.

Both boys, lugging Marks school trunk and another filled with stuff from the house, they did not know when they would be returning, into the living room.

Harry meant Tim and found both Evans to be just as pleasent as their son. And Harry could still not belive that Janet was Snape's sister. After formalities, Harry shrunk all the trunks totalying 6 and turned into his Pheniox form. Mark then explained to his parents what to do and an hour later the Evans had joined the Griffian Manor house hold.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Later that night Harry's mirror went off for Harry to see Neville. Harry could not help but feel a bit nervouse. "Hey Neville" said Harry. "I talked to my Gram Harry" said Neville getting right to the point. "And when is the soonest this can be done" finished Neville.

Harry smiled and said " as soon as you want, but I'll need to bring Ron along, I may need his help." Neville nodded. "How about tonight around 7" asked Neville. "Alright" said Harry "I'll meet you in four hours then" finished Harry his mirror going blank.

Harry sat in Ron's room waiting for Ron to get out of the shower. His tall friend walked in minuted later dressed in muggle jeans and a shirt he borrowed from Harry. "So" said Ron "what you need to talk about mate" asked Ron.

Harry told Ron what he proposed to do this night. He ended telling Ron he need him to come, not to actually help in the cermony but that after Harry might need help getting home. Ron quickly agreed to join Harry. Harry thanked his friend and after saying good bye to the family, with only a very brief summary of what Harry would be doing before they left.

A man with long raggedd hair laid tied to a bed. This man had a long beard and haunted eyes. He layed on the bed staring at the ceiling chanting over and over to him self his name, though no sound came out. This man never fought for his freedom, he knew it be usless and then he would die with the infromation he had to released to those who need to know. So he stayed in the small locked room in St. Monglos, bidding his time, regaining his strength with the hope that he could save the rest of his family unlike his ability to save his first child, his baby boy...
