As Emrys got off the bus, alone again Sean had once more gone to a friend's house and Emrys didn't know what to do with himself. He got a cup of water and headed up to his room to play with his cars. There was only a week left of school before Christmas Break and teachers hadn't given any homework. He had Sean walk in and swear loudly then a yell "EMRYS!" Emrys quickly came downstairs when his brother yelled for him.

"Why won't the cupboards open, Dad must have spelled em' shut, you try.." Sean said.

"Okay…." Emrys opened the cupboard and it opened just fine, so Sean tried reaching in to grab a box of cookies, his hand hit an invisible barrier. "Emrys grab me the box of cookies" Sean said to his brother. Emrys handed his brother the cookies obediently.

"Now scram…and don't tell Dad or you'll have even less friends then you already do!" Sean yelled after his brother.

Emrys quickly went back up to his room and to his cars.

Severus came home that night with a Christmas tree which they set up in the living room. Emrys helped Severus decorate the tree and Severus told Sean and Emrys to each make a Christmas list of what they would like. Sean began listening a XBOX, video games, DVD's, new Wizards Chess pieces, and everything he could think of. Emrys sat quietly unsure of what to write, Severus came and put an arm around his son, anything you want Emrys, it doesn't mean you'll get it but just have some fun, list some things that look fun to you. Emrys slowly wrote down a bike, a book on quidditch, some new books about magic, he was very keen to learn more about magic and then he could not think of what to write, he already had what he wanted his dad and his brother, a family and no Durselys.

The next evening Severus gave Emrys and Sean each some pocket money to do their Christmas shopping, he took them to the muggle shopping mall. The three split up after Severus put tracking spells on Emrys and Sean and gave them instruction to meet him in the food court in and hour. Severus took off to buy some stocking stuffers for the boys. Sean bought Emrys some new cars, his father he had already owl ordered a potions book. Emrys had no idea what to buy, he bought Sean a video game that he had mentioned and he bought a frame for Severus, he had been experimenting with the art supplies Severus bought him and had painted a picture for his father. He didn't really have any friends at school to buy for so he bought Severus and Sean chocolates as well.

Christmas morning was a blast for the family Emrys was so surprised about getting presents and Severus so happy that the family was together, if only Lily could have been there. Emrys did get a new bicycle, it was black and said NORCO in big silver letters, he also got a black helmet. Sean got an XBOX and video games for it. Both boys opened boxes of clothes. Emrys got an Aladdin movie in his stocking and a silver chain necklace. Sean got in his stocking Star Wars and Independence Day. They also each got a lot of chocolate, candy canes and books. Emrys got a book on quidditch, funny hexes and magical creatures. Sean got a video gaming book, and the Artemis Fowl books. Severus has also gotten the family tickets to a quidditch match the next day, Puddlemere United versus Chudley Cannons. Severus was very touched by the picture Emrys had painted and framed, it was off the three of them playing football. Dumbledore of course sent the family a large box of lemon drops.

Christmas dinner was splendid and they all went to bed happy and well rested for the quidditch match the next day.
