The next day Harry got something from Sarah at breakfast.
Dear Harry, Here is your schedule for practice and games. The team is excited to meet you and see how good you are. Dumbledore says that school games are on Sundays so our games are Saturdays. You'll start after Christmas holiday. Birthday is optional. See you soon, Sarah Tusk
He smiled and he and his friends headed to Slytherin common room. When they got there they opened the schedule and looked at it. Dumbledore had given her a schedule for the school classes, practice and games.

Harry whistled.
"Wow, that's a busy schedule."
"Oh Merlin! Every other day of practice? And a game every Saturday?" Daphne said.
"We'll get used to it. And they give us the option on your birthday." he said.
"At least it's after classes and then back for dinner." Draco said.
"Yeah. They probably did it on purpose." Harry said.
Before they knew it they were on their way home for the holiday.
"So, any plans for Christmas?" Draco asked.
"Not really, try and ignore my mum, dad and brother spend time with my uncles. Probably going to see the Weasley's to." Harry said.
"Probably." Daphne said.
A few hours later they were saying goodbye to their friends.
"See you soon." Harry said and gave Daphne a kiss.
"Yeah, see you soon." she said.
Then Harry headed to his parents.
"Hello John." Lily said smiling.
"Hi mum." John said.
"You ready to go?" James asked.
"Yeah." he said.
Harry stood there quietly while neither James or Lily looked at him. But after twelve years of ignoring him he was used to it.
Until John started Hogwarts Sirius and Remus would take him to Diagon Alley for his school supplies, got him Hedwig for a birthday present, are the only ones that know what his wand is and went to Kings Cross to take him on the train his first two years. They didn't know that he had Voldemort's twin core though. Only Harry and Mr. Olivander did and kept it quiet. Dumbledore knew John didn't have it and was confused and didn't know what Harry's wand is so he didn't realize it. Which made Harry consider him an idiot.
Mr. and Mrs. Greengrass, Daphne, Astoria, Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy, Draco, Aden, Mr. Nott, Theo, Mrs. Zabini and Blaise watched him stand there quietly while his parents don't even look at him.
So Harry, John, James and Lily headed to the car and then were gone.
When they got home Harry went to his room and unpacked. Daisy was making dinner so he said he'd unpack himself.
After he was unpacked he headed downstairs to the dining room. He went and sat down next to James.
"So, how was your term?" Lily asked.
"Good. I've been busy with class, practice, games and prefect stuff. But I'll manage." Harry said.
He will talk to his parents just during Christmas and Easter holiday, sometimes.
"I've been busy working on my own class and homework." John said.
"Good, Severus has been telling me that you're doing good in potions Harry." Lily said.
"I'm his favorite Slytherin and class student." Harry said looking at James.
'And I don't want to be disowned like dad threatened me first year.'
Even though it was five years ago Harry knew he was still thinking about it.
"Good." James said.
After dinner Harry went to go read a book in his room.
Before they knew it it was Christmas and their uncles, the Weasley's and Daphne were with them.
"Happy Christmas Harry." Daphne said.
"Happy Christmas Daph." he said back.
A few minutes later they were sitting in the living room giving each other a present.
Harry and John got the yearly Weasley sweater and Daphne gave John a new quidditch book and got Harry an Advanced Defense Against the Dark Arts book. Harry got her a locket with a picture of them kissing in the middle.
"Harry, it's, it's beautiful." she said.
He put it on her after she took it out of the box.
"I knew you'd like it." he said smiling.
She gave him a kiss.
"I love it."
A few hours later they split up and Harry and John went to bed.
Throughout the break Harry would visit Daphne and Daphne would visit him.
Dumbledore will come visit them to. He had been thinking about something this year. He's been wondering why John hadn't been having visions yet. He had also been wondering why Harry had been visiting Severus so often lately. He knew Harry was his best and favorite.
Both he and Severus had brought up him being at NEWT lessons already. But he'll always reject it to stay with his friends and help them if they need it.
Dumbledore was at Godric Hollow right now. Since Voldemort was back he had them go back into hiding and was their secret keeper this time even though the ministry doesn't believe Harry.
"Hello Lily, James, Harry, John, Daphne." he said.
"Hello Albus." James said.
"Hello professor." Harry said.
"I was just wondering if I could talk to you three?" he said.
"Of course. Daphne, Harry can you go upstairs for a few minutes please?" Lily asked.
Harry nodded. Then they headed up to Harry's room.
After being ignored for so long he doesn't answer questions he rarely gets with words most of the time.
"So, what do you need Albus?" Lily asked.
"To ask John a question."
"Which is what?" John asked.
"Have you been having visions lately since Voldemort returned?"
John looked confused, Lily and James looked shocked.
"No." John said.
Dumbledore sat there confused about why it hadn't happened yet.
"Why?" James asked.
"I have an idea that he would have a connection with Voldemort since he was back."
"Well, I haven't felt anything." he said.
Dumbledore nodded.
"Alright, I was just wondering. I'll see you after break."
They nodded and he left.
While he left he thought about something.
'Perhaps I should keep an closer eye on Harry.'
