It was a beautiful snowy Christmas morning. 12 Lunar Drive was decorated with holly reefs and all that other stuff you put up on Christmas. Everyone was in a great mood. Aphrodite was over for the Holidays and that made Diana very happy. They were wondering where Athena was since she said she was coming over and Hera couldn't make it for some mysterious reason that no one knew . There was a loud knock at the door.

"I'll get it. Aphrodite can you hold Remus for a little while?" Diana asked her friend.

John was putting the remainder of the many ornaments he had on the tree that he forgot to put on the tree yesterday and was singing Jingle Bells at the top of his lungs but his nephew Romulus started to cry for his mum which was John's sister and for the terrible singing voice John had. Romulus' parents were killed and John was the legal guardian over Romulus. He wanted Romulus to shut up right about now. This was a task John could never accomplish. He picked his nephew up and tried to do what Diana did to quiet the kids down but it wasn't working in his case.

Romulus and Remus could've been mistaken as twins sometimes. But Romulus had blue eyes and Romulus was a little bit bigger than Remus.

"Sure." Aphrodite said happily holding Remus with joy. He was crying louder than ever.

"Shh. It's ok," Aphrodite said in her peaceful voice and Remus stopped crying.

"You're good with kids." complimented John. "How do get a child to stop crying?"

"It's talent." Aphrodite said with pride.

"Yeah I understand why Diana chose you to be Remus' godmother. You're responsible and you're good with kids." said John. "Er do you think you can help me out with Romulus," he handed her the blue eyed baby.

"I finally got his respect after all these years." thought Aphrodite grimly but took Romulus and got him to be quiet.

Meanwhile Diana walked out of the luxurious living room and greeted Athena.

"Sorry that I'm late. Long story,'' said Athena.

"That's ok. Come in. Happy Christmas," Diana hugged her friend.

"Thanks. Happy Christmas to you too," Athena had smile on her face which was extremely rare and seemed to be in a happy mood. She walked into the hallways leading to the living room. "I liked what you've done to the place." And she usually never compliments anyone so there must be something going on. Or maybe it was just the Christmas sprit!

"Do you have any idea what happened to Hera?" Diana asked in concern.

"Yeah," Athena sighed and the happy expression on her face disappeared. "She told me not to tell you guys since you have Remus now and she just didn't want Aphrodite to know. But you have the right to know so I'm gonna tell you anyway."

"Diana, who was at the door," Aphrodite walked into their conversation now holding Remus. "Athena, it's great to see you! Happy Christmas," realizing who the person was.

"Remus is still soooooooo adorable!" Athena took Remus out of Aphrodite's arms. "I can't wait to see Romulus!" Remus was trying to get out of Athena's arms.

"Romulus is adorable too," said Aphrodite.

"It's just sad that his parents died and that he'll never know them." Diana said sadly.

"Yeah," Athena said hoping that her would forget about Hera and what happened to her. She didn't want to tell them, but it was the right thing to do.

"Weren't you gonna tell me something? Don't try to get away form telling us." grinned Diana

"What were you gonna tell Diana?" asked Aphrodite.

"It's about Hera." explained Athena. "I was going to say why she isn't here and has not send letters to either of you."

"What happened to her?" asked Aphrodite

"I'm getting there but everyone is interrupting me!" hissed Athena. Now the Athena they saw they knew. She was the nice, quick tempered, depressing girl with the natural black hair and the girl who wore the color black a little too much.

"Hera got a boyfriend shortly after Remus was born. He isn't really kind to her. He's a very mean person actually. I met him once. He's such a bastard. Hera came home one day with a black eye and a broken wrist."

"That's terrible!" exclaimed Aphrodite and Diana.

"Can't she get out of the relationship?" Aphrodite asked Athena.

"She's afraid to. He threatened her that she can't leave." Athena said grimly then sighed again.

"Poor Hera," thought Diana.

"Put Remus down Athena he wants to crawl." Diana told her friend.

"Mama," Remus said to Diana.

"Yup that's me! This is your Aunt Athena." Diana told him and pointed at Athena.

"Auntie!" Remus smiled.

The three girls laughed.

"I would be surprised if he could say Aunt Aphrodite." said Athena.

"What a mouthful to say."

"Come on. John is probably wondering where we are." The three girls and an adorable Remus walked back into the luxurious living room. John was lying on the couch with a pillow over his head and Romulus was on his stomach.

"Romulus is so cute too!" exclaimed Athena and picked Romulus up. Romulus didn't like being carried around so he was trying to get away from Athena and eventually got his way.

"Can we open our presents already?" Diana asked anxiously pulling the pillow off of her husband's head. John kissed her lightly and threw the pillow at her.

The young adults opened their presents without hesitation.

"John, this is beautiful! I love it!" Diana hugged her husband and they passionately kissed. He got her a diamond bracelet and rabbit fur coat.

"Ok enough mushy stuff I needed to see in one day." said Athena disgusted. Aphrodite laughed.

They continued the opening presents and having a good time and talking about their days at Hogwarts.

"It seems like forever since we've been there. I miss it sometimes." said Diana.

"Yeah same here." Athena said

"Do you remember the time we all met on the train?" asked Aphrodite. They felt a flashback coming on.


"Hey can I sit with you? Everywhere is full?" asked a shy Aphrodite.

"Sure," Diana replied happily since no one was sitting with her and she wanted to talk to someone. She was nervous. She had no idea what Hogwarts was all about. Diana got the letter on her eleventh birthday and always thought she would be an ordinary person with a boring life. But she happened to be a witch that had powers. She never believed there was a magical world until now.

The girl who asked to sit with her had wavy brown hair with dark brown eyes with pink glasses.

"I'm Aphrodite Budd. Who are you?" the shy girl asked Diana.

"Diana Lupin. Nice to meet you," they shook hands.

A little while passed. They were talking about muggle music even though Aphrodite was a pureblood and Aphrodite was tryign to explin to her the muggle world. She was about to explain to her about what the houses were at Hogwarts but a girl with black hair started to swear outside their compartment.

"Stupid purebloods," a girl mumbled and then after that was swearing. She was wearing black clothes and walked into the compartment trying to seem like nothing happened. "Hi I'm sorry. Can I sit here?"

"Sure," the two girls replied in unison.

"I'm Athena Jones. Who are you?"

"I'm Diana Lupin and she's Aphrodite Budd."

"Nice to meet you. You're the only nice people I met so far. I by accidentally sat next to a bunch of pureblood bitches." said Athena flatly

"I happen to be a pureblood." Aphrodite said innocently.

"I guess not all purebloods are not like that then." Athena said embarrassed from what she said before.

A girl with blonde hair walked in. She was panting like she just run a race.

"Think I can stay here for a little while. My sister wants to keep an eye on me but she's in Slytherin." panted the girl. Diana had no clue what a Slytherin was at the time but Aphrodite shook her head and said sure.

"Thanks. I'm Hera West."

The three girls introduced themselves. And the rest of the train ride they were talking.


"I remember that!" exclaimed Diana.

"Yeah I do too." sighed Athena

"That was one of the greatest days of my life. I finally made friends that I liked." said Aphrodite "And none of them were purebloods!"

"I remember the first time I met Diana." John smiled. He had Romulus and Remus on his lap.


John was in a big hurry to get to Charms class. But the problem was he had no idea where the classroom was. He was running in the hallways and bumped into a girl with sandy hair and her beautiful amber eyes stuck in a book that was in a language that he didn't know.

"I'm sorry," he said. He was in Slytherin house and the girl he bumped into was in Gryffindor. John picked up the book she was reading. "What language is this?" John asked the girl.

"Latin," she said simply. She was shy, John could tell.

"You can read this?" John asked her and gave her back the book.

"Yeah. You look familiar who are you?" the mysterious girl asked John.

"John Wexler."

"Diana Lupin."

"Do you have any idea where Charms is? I'm lost." John admitted to her.

"You're going the wrong way. I'm on my way there too. Want to walk together?" Diana had no idea that Gryffindors and Slytherins were not supposed to be friends. No one told her.

"Sure,"


It was love at first sight!" Aphrodite laughed.

It was now the afternoon and it stopped snowing. The snow on the ground looked perfect. It seemed like it was placed there perfect. By now in the city the snow would already be brown but in a country like area it still looked like snow from a picture book.

"We didn't sing any Christmas songs yet," pointed out Athena.

After Athena's comment Aphrodite and Diana broke into random Christmas songs.

City sidewalks busy sidewalks. Dressed in holiday style. In the air there's a feeling of Christmas. Children laughing, people passing, greeting smile after smile. Soon it will be Christmas day!

Sliver Bells. Sliver Bells. It's Christmas Time in the city! Ring and ling! Hear them ring! Soon it will be Christmas day!

"You both have beautiful voices." John kissed Diana.

"WAHHHHH!" Romulus and Remus were both crying now and both extremely cranky.

"Or it could be how you sang that upset them." Athena joked.

"I think they need a nap," Diana picked both of them up and walked up the long stairs to their room.

She put them in their cribs. She was sitting on the rustic looking rocking chair and was staring at her son Remus. She was playing with his sandy brown hair and his amber eyes were looking at her.

"Yeah," Diana thought. "I guess my life did turned out to be pretty good." she smiled

singing Romulus and Remus to sleep.
