Ch 31 Christmas at Chaldea Pt 2

James and Lily were preparing presents under the tree for their guest that will arrive soon. Lily sighs as she grabs the gift, she was going to give to Ritsuka. "Lily what's the matter?" her husband asked her.

"Oh, it's nothing just staring at Harry's gift that he would never receive." She sighs.

James came up from behind and hug her. "we can just give it to him the next time we see him." He said to her.

"Alright." She said placing down the gift as they heard footsteps running down the hall. The Potter parents turn to see who it is as their youngest son stop near the entrance.

"Mum, Dad is Uncle Sirius and Uncle Remus coming?" Charles asked his parents.

They look at each other a bit scared of what their son's reaction. Lily walks up to Charles ready to tell what his uncles said to them. "Charles, honey your Uncle Remus felt like our guest will get uncomfortable by his presence since his condition." She said too him. "Your uncle Sirius decided to stay with him, so he won't be lonely, do you understand Charles?" She said to him.

"THEY SHOULD BE HERE WITH US!" Charles exclaims. "THEY SHOULD BE HERE WITH ME!" He ran to his room like a child who doesn't have his way.

"I'll talk to him," James said going after his son.

Chaldea British Outpost

Sirius and Remus stood in front of the girls ready to protect them from the white hair priest that was in front of them. "Why's a priest here!?" Sirius said drawing his wand as did Remus.

Mandricardo walks in the Outpost along with Holmes and Lanling. "It's not a big deal, just Ruler welcoming guests to our party." The former King of Sarza and Algiers said.

"Ruler? You mean you're Ritsuka's Servant too!?" Remus exclaims.

Amakusa smiles at them. "I understand that the Holy Church hunted your kind for generations even today, but rest ensure that I have no intention of killing you all." He said as Semiramis materializes next to him.

"Shirou, Emiya is bringing out the Figgie Pudding." The former Queen of Assyria said as she latches on the priest's arms.

Amakusa smiles at his former Servant, "I do love Mr. Emiya's Figgie Pudding, but I do need to greet our guests Assassin." He said to her as she pouts. "Save me a bowl, if you would then I will join you at our table," he said to her.

"Very well, Shirou." She said as she dematerializes back to the party.

"My apologies, now why don't you come in. It's cold out here." The Ruler Servant said.

Hermione looked at Sigurd as he nods gesturing that everything is fine. "Well if Saber trusts him then I guess it's fine." She said as she steps forward.

Remus and Sirius still untrusting of the Priest's words until Ginny walks forward "If Hermione fine with it, then I trust her decision." she said as she walks inside.

"What do you think?" Remus asked Sirius.

"Well, I think we should go with it," Sirius said. "And if Ritsuka trust this priest then I trust him." He said as Remus nodded walking to the front door.

Amakusa smiles at them. "I'm glad you can trust me. Now please enjoy the party." He said closing the doors behind him.

The four wizards stopped to take in the room as it was lit up with Christmas decor and verity of foods and Servants chatting with the staff that stayed for the party as a version of Jingle bells played in the background.

Ritsuka walks to them with a bright smile. "Glad you can make it." He said to them.

"We're happy that you invited us, Ritsuka." Hermione smiles.

"Yeah, this place is so festive," Ginny added. " It feels joyful here."

"Well, I appreciate those words." He smiles as he was about to leave. "Enjoy the party, I still have to greet the others." He waved them.

"Wait-" Remus was about to stop him when he was already gone.

"Maybe we should enjoy the party first before wee speaks to him," Sirius said to the werewolf.

"Alright," he said going off somewhere at the party.

Drake was with Beowulf, Iskandar, Columbus, and Kintoki sitting at the home bar they installed for this occasion. They joked with each other as they drink away. The bartender smiles as he poured more in their cups.

Mata Hari along with Tamamo Cat brought out the food to the buffet as Servants and staff went to get some for themselves.

Ushiwakamaru and Benki sat with Leonidas and Gil as they talk about Babylonia.

Marie was near the Christmas tree looking at all the presents with the children Servants wondering what's in them. Sanson, Salieri, and Mozart are trying to get along with each other for the Queen of France were behind their table.

Sigurd and Brynhildr were together talking as the Saber places his arm above her leaning on the wall as the Lancer blushes.

"It's so festive," Remus said as he looks around the lobby.

"I know, they're all so different and they get along with each other," Sirius said as he spots Ritsuka talking to Mashu and a woman with silver hair and horns.

"I see Ritsuka," Sirius said as he made his way to them.

"Sirius wai-"Remus bump into a woman with black hair tied in pigtails and crimson eyes as she spilled her drink on herself.

"Hey watch it, human!" Ishtar turns to the werewolf with an annoyed face. "Who are you anyway?" she asked him.

Remus froze "Oh, so sorry I didn't see you there.". He blinks as a blonde version of her appeared in his mind. 'Aren't you lancer?" Remus said trying to change the subject.

"You mean my sister, right? My name is Archer human." She said as Ereshkigal walks up to her.

"Archer, here's a cup for you." The Goddess of the Underworld said giving a cup of punch to her sister as she turns to Remus.

"Oh, thank you." Ishtar took the drink as she threw the other cup.

"I know you, your master's uncle," Ereshkigal said sipping her cup.

Ishtar chokes on her drink as she looks at him. "Really? You don't resemble our master on a bit," The Goddess of Venus said as he leans forward taking a good look at him.

Remus steps back a bit. "Well, not biologically just a family friend." He said

"I see, human families are confusing sometimes." She said sipping her cup as they continue to talk.

Hermione walks around the crowd maneuvering through them as she bumps into someone's back. She fell on the floor as she rubs her head. "Ow,"

"Are you alright miss?" a white-haired and robed man asked.

"Yes, I'm fine." She said as he offers his hand to help her up. She looks up at him with a smile. "My apologies I didn't see where I was going." She said to him.

"Oh, it's quite alright, say why don't we have drinks together." he smiles at her.

"Uh, no thank you. I'm underaged to drink." She said backing away.

"Hey, liddel lady don't listen tuh thus perverted mage. he's gist uh womanizer." A young blonde man dressed as a cowboy said to her.

"Awe, Archer you just ruin my fun," Merlin said to the Outlaw.

"Oh, it's just fine," Hermione said as she blushed.

Billy sighs as he looks at the Grand Caster. "Apologies, Caster." He said to him.

"Very well," Merlin said as he bows his head to her. "I humbly apologies Ms. Granger, allow me to introduce myself. My name Caster due to protocol, I can't disclose my true name to you." He said as he smiles at her.

"For, I know how you will react if you know who I am." The youthful man said.

"Wait how did you know my name is? I haven't told you yet." Hermione said a bit freaked out by the Magus of Flowers.

Merlin places his hand on his chest acting like he's proud. "That my dear is something I possessed called clairvoyance, I can foresee the present." He said.

"So, you can see something that's about to happen? That's a useful skill." Hermione said fascinated by the Magus.

"Indeed, Ms. Granger master entrust me for what about to come and nudged somethings to make them come true," Merlin said. "And that's not the only thing I can do." he smiles.

Billy rolled his eyes at the Magus's boasting "Hare way go, Ahl look fahwar Archer." He taps on Hermione's shoulder. "Call may few need help tuh git awf frum thus mage." He said to her.

"Don't worry, uh…Archer." She said to the Outlaw. "I can handle myself."

He nodded and went off to look for Robin Hood.

Merlin smiles. "So, where are we? Ah yes…"

Ginny looked at the food as her stomach growls at the smell of it. "This looks good, I don't know what to pick." She said to herself.

"You should try the mash potatoes," a white-haired girl wearing a black trench coat mutters next to her.

Ginny jumps spooked by her sudden appearance. "I didn't see you there." She said to Mary.

Mary looks at Ginny with her blue eyes. "I'm sorry about that," she mutters to her.

"It's fine, my name is Ginny. What's yours?" Ginny asked the second half of Rider.

"I'm Rider, well the seconded half." She said to her.

"Second half? What do you mean by that-? "

"Rider!" Ginny and Mary look to see a blonde woman with a set of huge breasts and a red coat as she skips over to them.

"So, Rider who is this?" Anne asked the other half of the Spirit Origin.

"Rider, this is Ginny," Mary said. "This is the girl that we are going to protect." She said as Anne look at Ginny.

"Really? It's so nice to meet you, Ginny." She grabs her in a big hug. "You can call us Rider."

Ginny gasps as she pulled her head out of her breast. "Nice…to meet you both." She said as Anne let go of her.

"So, you guys are my bodyguards?"

"Yes, though I can't tell you my true name to you. It will break protocol, but I do hope we get to know each other and be friends instead of bodyguards and ward." Anne said passionately with her words.

"Yes, I do hope so too," Bonny said to her.

"Well, you guys want to talk at the table," she asked the pirates. "We can get to know each other more," Ginny suggested.

"Sure," Anne said with a big smile. "But I do want some food as well." She said looking at the choices. "I will catch up; you guys go ahead." She said grabbing a plate.

"Alright, Rider," Bonny said to Anne. "Follow me, Ginny." She said to the Weasley girl.

"Uh sure." She smiles at the Servant.

Sirius maneuvers through the crowd trying to get to his godson. He manages to get to him as he and the people with him stared at him as he stumbles. "Uh, hey." Sirius waved trying to be cool.

"Uncle Sirius?" Ritsuka asked after seeing him stumble out of the people.

"LAAAA?" Tiamat sang to her son wondering who this man is.

Sirius was surprised at the woman's appearance. She wore a red Christmas sweater and that stretches up to her knees. Sirius did sense the same aura around her like the others but different like it was ancient.

"I take it this is little brother's human uncle, mother?" a famine man with dark green hair said walking to him. "Hmmm, it's hard to believe that this weak magic user is related to a little brother," Kingu said sneering at him.

Sirius shrugs. "Well, it's true that I'm not that powerful in magic unlike Dumbledore or you, Ritsuka, I'm more on the defensive." He shrugs.

"LAAA!" Tiamat laughs as he patted Kingu.

"Mother…" Kingu whines.

Ritsuka smiles at his mother figure as he looks at her. "Mother, can you stop pestering Lancer like that, please?" he asked with sweat eyes to her.

Tiamat cooed as she stops. "LAAA!" she replied.

Sirius blinks at Ritsuka and the woman he just called mother. "I see you got a mother figure in your life," Sirius said with a warm smile.

Tiamat looked at the shaggy man assuming he would come and insults her youngest son like that brat Charles. "I'm glad," he responded.

"Oh? And why's that?" Kingu asks ready to defend his brother and mother.

"I'm just happy that Ritsuka has role models in his life, seeing that James and Lily weren't there when Ritsuka needed the most. You all filled that role, as his godfather I'm truly happy." Sirius said to them.

Tiamat sheds a tear at the words that were spoken to them as she lifts the man in her arms hugging him for caring for her son. "W-Wah!?" Sirius screamed as he was picked up suddenly as Tiamat place him down gently.

"What was that about?" Sirius asked his godson.

Ritsuka smiles. "It's just mother showing her affection to people," he said walking to her. "This means she appreciates your words." He said to him.

"I see, that's…kind of you um…" Sirius leans over to Ritsuka. "(What should I call her?)" he whispers to him.

"(Call her mother, that's what the staff calls her.)" he whispers back to him.

"(Really? Alright…)" he turns back to Tiamat. "Thank you, mother, for your affections." He inclines his head to her.

"LAAAA!" she responded.

"(What does that mean?)" he whispers back to him.

"She said that she appreciates that you cared for little brother," Kingu said still unsure to think of the man.

"Oh," Sirius said.

Ritsuka chuckles as he looks around. "If you all excuse me, I should greet the others." He said as he walks off to speak with the others.

"Mr. Black, I haven't properly introduced myself," Mashu said to him.

"Oh, you're Mashu, right? You're Ritsuka's assistant right?" he asked her.

"Hai, he rarely speaks of his old life here," Mashu said as she looks down. "I was wondering what he's like before coming to Chaldea?"

"LAAAA!" Tiamat cried.

"I too wonder what little brother's childhood is like," Kingu asked.

"Well…"

Ritsuka walks around waving at the people he passed by. He looks at the front as his other uncle is talking to the Mesopotamian Goddess.

Ishtar chuckles along with Ereshkigal as Remus. He walks up to them. "Oh master," Ereshkigal said as they turn him.

"Fujimaru, Merry Christmas," Ishtar said toasting to him.

"Thank you, Archer." He smiles as he looks at Remus. "Uncle Remus, how are you?" he asked the werewolf.

"We'll leave you two to catch up," Ishtar said.

"It was nice meeting you, Remus," Ereshkigal said as she and her sister walk off.

"I see your socializing, considering your condition," Ritsuka said as he turns to face him.

"W-What do you mean?" Remus asked.

"Come on, don't think that everyone here is blind," Ritsuka said. "We faced werewolves before and can tell easily that you're one too."

"And that does not bother you guys?" he asked.

"Nah, no one really cares due to their origins. It does not change our perspective on people." He said.

Remus's eyes widen at how everyone is carefree here. "T-Thank you, Ritsuka." He said. "There's something that both me and Sirius-"

"I have a chat with Sirius about it, and I don't hold anything against you both." He said to them.

Remus chuckles. "I see, I was expecting that you might hate us for not take you in," he said truthfully.

"It was fast, and you guys just heard about it the next day," Ritsuka said. "You two don't have control of the situation." He said.

Remus smiles at Ritsuka understanding how his Servants felt about him. "Thank you,"

"Now, I believe it's time for opening some presents." He said as he walks to the tree.

"Alright, everyone. Present time!" He clangs his glass as everybody gathers to him.

Each Servant receives a gift from Santa Lily smiling as she gave them their gifts. "Hermione, Ginny here's yours." She skips to them giving small boxes.

"You don't have to do this," She said as Lily looks at her with puppy eyes. Hermione looked at Ginny as she sighs.

"I guess it's kind of rude of us to not open them," Ginny said as they open their gifts.

Lily walks to Remus and Sirius handing them their respective presents. "And here's yours you two."

"Thank you," Remus smiles at the child.

"How thoughtful," Sirius said taking the gift.

They open them as they were surprised at the items that were given to them.

Hermione and Ginny receive a communicator that goes on their wrist. They look at Ritsuka who smiles. "If you need to contact me for anything then use that communicator."

"Thank you." They said putting on the communicator.

"If you want to thank someone it would be our Tech Department Head, too bad she's working on something back at Chaldea." Ritsuka shrugs.

Remus opens his gift and took out a medallion that has a wolf howling at the moon. "What is this?" Remus asked.

"It's a medallion that will help you control your werewolf side," Ritsuka said. " This will let you go to your werewolf form whenever you want without the pain you go through during a full moon," Ritsuka said as Remus put on the medallion on his neck.

"Where did you get this?" he asked.

"Courtesy of the Casters, they created that with ancient Magecraft from the Age of Gods," Ritsuka said to him.

"I don't know what to say but thank you." He smiles at his nephew.

Sirius opens his gift from his godson taking out a pendant. "What this?" He asked trying not to be rude.

"A pendant that's imbued with my Magecraft," Ritsuka said as he got up at activates it. "Just tap on the red gem and- "

A holographic image of a toddler Ritsuka and Sirius appeared playing together on the grass with Charles on top of Remus's shoulder with James and Lily smiling at the background appeared in his mind. "This is..."

"This gem will show you your favorite memories of the past in your head, so anytime your feeling down just use this." Ritsuka smiles.

Sirius grabs Ritsuka in a big hug with tears flowing down. "This is the best gift you ever have given to me." He said with a bright smile.

Mashu smiles at the sight of the four enjoying their presents. Ritsuka got up and walks to the tree to retrieve a purple gift box and walks to her. "Senpai?" Mashu questions as he gave her the gift.

"This is for you, Mashu." Ritsuka smiles.

She opens it as a small version of Lord Camelot in the form of a necklace was there. She gasps as she took the necklace and put it around her neck. "Thank you Ritsuka." She said as she kisses him on the cheek.

Sirius and Remus smile at Ritsuka and Mashu sensing their chemistry. "I think our nephew is in love," Remus said to the dog.

"Yeah, he sure is," Sirius said as both girls giggles at the two.

"Master, it's your turn to open your present," Fergus said giving him the long box.

"Yeah open it, master!" Chloe said placing her arm over his shoulder.

"Chloe! Don't pressure master." Illya said to the Archer.

"Illya, Chloe is just excited," Miyu said to her best friend. "Give her a break."

"Okay, Miyu." She responded.

"Never knew how rambunctious these children are," Sirius said enjoying their personality.

"Open it, master," Abigail said.

"Alright, Alright." Ritsuka chuckles as he opens the gift from his mentor. As he did, he opens the box to reveal a blue and white sword.

Astolfo and Bradamante look over the crowd. "Oh? We know that sword very well. Right Lancer?"

"Definitely, Rider." She responded.
