Sure enough it was Christmas break. Harry, Neville and Hermione were sitting on the train on their way home. Ron's parents and sister were going to Romania to visit Charlie so he, the twins and Percy were staying at school.
Sure enough they were looking for their parents.
"Harry, over here!" Lilly said.
So he said goodbye to Hermione and headed to his parents.
"Hi mum, hi dad." he said.
"Hello you Harry." Lily said.
"Ready to go?" James asked.
He nodded and then headed home.
When they got there they saw Remus and Sirius sitting there talking.
"Hi Padfoot! Hi Moony!" Harry said.
"Hey pup, how ya doing?" Sirius said giving Harry.
"Good." Harry said hugging back.
"Then Remus hugged Harry.
"Not getting into trouble are you?" Remus asked.
"No, I'm try not to." he said.
"Good. I don't need a repeat of these three." Lily said while the three Marauders whistle in innocence.
Sure enough it was Christmas and as usual Sirius and Remus were there.
"Happy Christmas you Harry." Sirius said.
"Happy Christmas uncle Padfoot!"
"Ready for parents everyone?" Lily asked.
"Tweeky is making dinner right now so let's do that." James said.
"Alright." Harry said.
"Can you open mine first?" Sirius said.
"Sure, I guess." he said.
So he opened his present and got a batch of broom cleaning kit.
Remus got Harry a few books of Defense Against the Dark Arts because he knew it was his favorite and best subject.
James got Harry a new book of 'Quidditch between the ages'.
Lily got him
And Molly got him a green Weasley sweater. Neville got him a Hermione got them chocolate.
Then for his parents and uncles he got Sirius a bone and everyone laughed. The dog was trying to get it in his mouth.
Remus and James laughed the hardest and on their back. They had done that once in school but secretly because no one knew they were unregistered animagi. Now only the 4 Marauders, Lily, Snape and Harry knew. Voldemort might know from Peter but they don't know.
Lily from their seventh year when James and Lilly started dating. Remus trusted her enough to tell her his 'fury little problem'. Snape after the accident sixth year. And the Harry because he's their friends son and are his godfather. They trust him enough to keep it quiet.
"Oh my ribs! Someone get me a potion!" Remus said.
"M-me t-too!" James said.
The dog was starting to get to Sirius. He had a lot of trouble fighting it in him.
When they all calmed down they got back to giving the others their present.
Lily got a necklace, James got a watch and Remus a book.
"Thanks Harry, we love our presents." Lily said.
"I can see Padfoot loves his bone Harry." James said while Remus laughed and watched Sirius in his dog form munching on his new bone.
He finally gave in after everyone getting their present.
He stopped for a second and barked with a fast wagging tail. Then went right back to his bone.
"You're welcome." Harry said.
Then he started barking again. Harry looked at Remus. Being a werewolf he could understand dogs.
"He said he owes you a strong lick later when you go to bed." he said.
A few hours had gone by and the kids were in bed. Sirius had just came in Harry's room.
"I owe you a strong lick don't I?"
He switched into a dog and started licking him nonstop.
"OK, OK , haha! Stop it!" Harry said.
Finally he stopped and was back in his human form.
"Night pup."
Then he gave him a kiss and shut the light off.
The next day Harry decided to do his homework. So he decided to go ask his parents for some help while they were there. He tried to get it done but still had some trouble.
"Mum, dad, can you help us with our homework? I just need some help with transfiguration and charms." Harry said.
His parents smiled.
"Sure thing. I've heard from plenty of teachers that you're the best at DADA in years." Lily said.
He turned bright red.
I'm not that good."
"Everyone has a good class, you know that. Like Mr. Olivander said, my wand's good for charms." Lily said.
"And mine's good for transfiguration." James said.
They nodded and started their homework.
Sure enough they were back on their way back to school.
