Everyone in the Carlviér Li house where sleeping peacefully nothing could wake them…. Or so they thought.
' BANG!' came a noise from downstairs.
Takara shot out of bed.
" What was that?" Hope asked pulling on her dressing gown.
" I dunno." she turned to Aurora who was still asleep in her bed "baby you have to wake up." She said shaking her slightly.
" I dinna want to." She said turning over in bed.
" It's Christmas day."
Aurora shot out of bed. " Why didn't ye say so?" she walked out of the door while the rest of them walked out slowly and groggily.
They got to the last flight of stairs and saw Mary standing downstairs smiling with her sickly sweet smile.
" Okay Mary it's 6:30am and it's so early and your getting the children hyper." Charlie said as all the children ran pass her.
" Well I just thought you should be getting Christmas dinner ready, I know how long it takes you to cook."
" Well I think the kids should opens their gift first since you decided to wake them up and the me and the girl will make breakfast." Keely said.
" Well I don't cook so I'll just have a bath while you guys get breakfast ready toddles. " Mel said going up the stairs in her pink silk dressing gown.
" Snobby cow." Lily mumbled.
" Don't blame me because you got used like a paper towel sweetheart." Mel whispered in Lily's ear so no one else could hear. Lily turned beetroot read and tears welled up in her eyes.
" Well let's get those presents open." Lily said not wanting Mel to see her crying.
" Hello, but I do want to open my presents sometime today you know." Blythe said with her hand on her hips.
" If you don't stop talking you'll get a slap round the head." Elmira staring in shock at her youngest born.
" You wouldn't cause Sirius and Remus and James will protect me so there." She said sticking her tongue out at her mother and walked back into the living room.
" Would you protect her?" Elmira asked smiling.
" Hey that's family business." Sirius said holding up his hands slowly walking downs the steps.
" Yeah I'm with him it's got nothing to do with me." Remus said going down the stairs.
" Just leave me out of this." James said following Sirius down the stairs.
All the kids where digging up their presents from under the Christmas tree.
The older adults swap their gifts. (A/N I'm just going into what Takara and Sirius got.)
Nickos gave Takara a velvet blue box. She opened it to find a blue flame chain.
She gave her father a big kiss and a hug.
She decided to read the card that went with it.
' This chain is very special to me as you are. My mother gave me this it will protect you when I cannot. When the flame is white it mean danger is coming when the flame is light blue it means you are love and when it is dark blue it means you are very angry. I thought you should have this since you don't know how to keep you temper I think you get it from your mother.
When it's violet it means I'm trying to get in contact with you just say your mother's or my name and we will be able to talk to you.
Love from Da
Takara hugged her mother and father again and turned to Sirius.
She took out her gift and gave it to Sirius. "Open it." She said enthusiastically.
She got him a book on the greatest pranks of all time, Zonkos multi pack of pranks and a gold earring.
" This is great babes thanks." He said kissing her on the cheek " What's with the earring?"
" I though you'd look cute with you ear pierced." She said smiling brightly.
" I have to get your gift hold on." Sirius ran up stairs and came down with a box.
" Open it." She opened it to see a snow-white kitten with one blue eye and one green eye.
" Well it seems like someone ripped you off Black you got a mutated cat." Antonio said in Sirius' ear.
" Aww, thank you baby." Takara said jumping up and giving him a kiss. " Hello Spectrum how are you?" she asked the cat.
" Spectrum what kind of name is that for a cat?" Honey asked wrinkling her nose.
" I think it's verra pretty." Aurora said stroking the kitten's head.
" Well I'm going to take a bath, Jade and Lily we need to get ready if you want me to do your hair." Takara asked standing up
" Why do you chicks take so long to do your hair?" James asked.
" Well unlike you Potter we don't just wake and then go out with our hair looking like a palm tree unlike you." Lily said
" I comb my hair," James said defensively " It's just that it doesn't look like it."
" What ever Potter."
Takara set the bath and added some bubble bath. She left Spectrum downstairs with her mother; it was so sweet for Sirius to buy her a little kitten. She sat in her nice hot relaxing bath and reach for the shampoo she squeezed the bottle but nothing came out. 'That's odd. I just bought this shampoo last week.'
She looked toward the sink and saw a bag that wasn't hers either. She got out of the bath and wrapped a towel round her self tightly and looked into the bag. She soon realised it was Mel's no one else could have a more revolting perfume scent than her.
Takara stormed down the stair and stood on the last flight. She also saw Lily and Jade there. Jade was in a big T-shirt her hair was still wet where as Lily was in a robe fuming.
" I bet it was Potter. It's always him." Lily snarled
" It was Mel." Takara said " look at what that tramp left in my bathroom." She said showing them the pink make up bag.
" MEL YOU BETTER GET HERE NOW!" Jade shouted.
" What is it?" she asked filing her nails. Nickos and Charlie followed.
" Takara go and put some clothes on." Charlie said
" Why did you use all my shampoo?" Takara asked ignoring her mother.
" And my lotion." Lily added
" And my bubble bath."
" And my deodorant." Anasty added, " I know I'm only 10 but puberty does happen ye know." She went back to her room mumbling something about blonds.
" I left my stuff at home so I used yours. Mary said it was okay."
" She did, did she?" Takara asked smiling " Well Mary's a flipping twit!" she shouted storming up the stairs.
Later on that day the kids played outside in the back garden, while the [women] where in the kitchen cooking and the men listened to the Quidditch game on the radio.
" Charlie you're making the stuffing all wrong." Mary said. So far she had criticised everything Charlie had done.
" Why don't you come and help then?" Charlie said through gritted teeth.
" I would but I hurt my ankle, you know how it is." She said smiling sweetly.
" I bet if you put her son in the oven, see how quick she gets up." Keely whispered to her best friend. Keely and Charlie sniggered.
" Nickos!" Elmira shouted.
" YEAH!" she shouted back
" GET YOU STINKING ASS IN HERE AND HELP! AND BRING YOUR STUPID BROTHERS WITH YOU!"
With the men all moaning they came into the kitchen they looked at the women.
" Cooking is supposed to be a woman's job." Guido said huffily.
" You what?" Helen asked.
" He said nothing sweetheart." Stefano said trying to kiss his wife on the cheek but she backed away.
" He said cooking is for women." Grace said taking off her apron. " Well you men can cook come on girls I say we go out."
The rest of them followed suit and left the kitchen.
" You and your big mouth Guido you have to be the smart mouth." Macro complained.
Christmas dinner
After when the men grovelled and pleaded the woman got back into the kitchen and got to work.
Needless to say the food looked great. There where all types of food. Roast potatoes, turkey, fried rice, chow mein, shrimp salad, chicken, lamb chops pork chops, taco, quesadilla everything.
Everyone was having pleasant conversations and everything was nice.
" So Sirius how did you do in your O.W.L's?" Mary asked " Antonio got all A's." she said proudly.
" Well I got 9 O's and 1 A. that was in muggle studies."
Everyone looked at Sirius in shock.
" What?" he asked shovelling another spoonful of food into his mouth.
" Your doing 10 subjects and you're passing them all?" sky asked.
" Well yeah it's not that hard." There was more silence " What?"
" How do you do it?" Annabelle asked. " When where in lessons you just piss about and get detentions."
" Ah well I would listen but me and James know most of the stuff anyway."
" Well I see that Sirius has got a good future ahead of him." Keely said making Sirius blush slightly.
" So what about you Takara?" Mary asked wanting to put someone down.
" A couple A's a couple O's you know no lower than that." She said taking some more salad.
There was more silence.
" How are things at home?" Mary asked Jade knowing that subject was an easy target.
" Actually Mary, Jade will be living with us permanently unless she wants to leave."
" Really I can stay?" Jade asked hopefully.
" Well of course ye can lass." Nickos said
" Thanks." Jade said brightly smiling from ear to ear.
" That reminds me Jade how is your mother?" Mary asked.
" How the heck am I meant to know?" Jade asked her smile fading.
" Well is that why you have to stay here?"
" That is none of your business Mary." Keely said butting in.
" I think it is if my brother has to look after other people children it does have something to do with me. God knows he's been doing it to this two twits you call child." She mumbled.
" What are you trying to say?" Charlie asked throwing down her napkin on the table.
" Char, don't let her get to you." Keely said.
" You know those freaks aren't you Nickos as much I do, as much as anyone in this family do."
" You are bang out of order!" Helen shouted, " Takara and Anastasia are Nickos' children."
" This has been coming for along time, tell them the truth."
" Yeah I sex with a baboon to make them. Of course they're Nickos'. You know what you want to fight lets get it over and done with now!" Charlie said getting out of her seat and taking out her wand out of her hair.
" Ma no!" Takara said standing in front of Charlie.
" Mary now stop wi' all this foolishness of course there my kids." Nickos said coldly towards Mary.
" I'm getting out of here." Charlie said going into the hall.
" Yeah that's right run away, like you always have. You ran away from home you ran away from your adoptive parents, you ran when you lost Takara's twin you just keep on running!" Mary yelled following her.
" I was a twin?" Takara asked.
" She didn't know." Mary sneered, " What a big surprise you didn't tell, you seem to do that a lot."
" She didn't…I mean…. just leave me alone." Charlie said sobbing.
" The truth hurts doesn't it Charlie. You're a screw up mother."
" Hey leave her alone." Sirius said stepping in front of Charlie.
" Oh what's the death eater child gonna do."
" Mary shut up." Nickos said dangerously quite.
" Why Nickos?"
" Leave my house now!" he shouted.
" What Nickos you can't do this."
" Yes I can. Pick up ye stuff and get out. You cannas disrespect my family and get away with it. GET OUT!"
Mary walked to the fireplace and left with Antonio and Mary close behind.
" Takara, I'm sorry…" Charlie started.
" You had no right to keep that from me. How do you think it made me feel to find out that bitch found out and she was the one to tell me." Takara asked angrily her chain turned as blue as her eyes.
" We felt…."
" I don't want to know ok. YOU BETRAYED ME! What was it?"
" Takara please don't…"
" I have a right to know!"
" A girl."
Takara stormed upstairs with Sirius running behind her
