Sure enough it was Christmas and everyone was at Grimauld Place. They were standing next to the table.
"Ho ho ho marry Christmas!" a flying Santa said while it was in the kitchen.
"Here we go, daddy's back!" Molly said smiling while she pushed Arthur to the table.
Everyone started clapping.
"Sit down everyone sit down. Now, presents." Molly said.
"And a nice big box for Ron." Arthur said.
"Big box for you. And um, oh come on both of you. I want to see your faces." she said trying to figure out which one of the twins is who.
"Yes." Ron said while he opened and found a new sweater.
"Let's clear this away. Oh, Haley, Haley. There you are." Molly said.
Then handed her a present.
"Happy Christmas."
"Thank you." she said and found a scarf.
"Now, Daddy. Pass that to Daddy." she said.
"Thank you."
"Has everybody got? Fred? George? Hermione."
"A Christmas toast. To Ms. Haley Potter... without whom I would not be here. Haley." Arthur said raising his glass.
"Haley." they all said.
"Haley." Sirius, Remus and Peter said together smiling.
She turned around and smiled.
"That is delicious. I shall be needing some more of that. Daddy, don't forget last Christmas." Ginny said.
A few minutes later Haley, Neville, Ron and Hermione were headed downstairs.
"I can't understand why you don't want to wear it, Ronald." Hermione said.
"I look like a bloody idiot, that's why." Ron said.
Neville snickered at that.
"No more than usual, Ron. I don't know why..." he started.
Haley saw a different room and walked in and saw pictures of people.
"Nasty brat, standing there as bold as brass. Haley Potter, the girl who stopped the Dark Lord. Friend of Mudbloods and two blood-traitors alike. If my poor mistress only knew..." Kreacher said.
"Kreacher! That's enough of your bile. Away with you!" Sirius said.
"Of course, master. Kreacher lives to serve the noble house of Black." he said and left.
"Sorry about that. He never was very pleasant, even when I was a boy. Not to me, anyway." he said walking in with her.
"What, you grew up here?" she said.
"This is my parents' house. I offered it to Dumbledore as headquarters for the Order. This is the Black family tree. My deranged cousin. I hated the lot of them. My parents with their pure-blood mania."
Then he put a finger on a picture with Sirius' name but a burnt picture.
"My mother did that after I ran away. Charming woman. I was 16."
Then he put his hand down.
"Where did you go?" she asked.
"Round your dad's. I was always welcome at the Potter's. I see him so much in you, Haley. You are so very much alike. And yet so much like your mother."
"I'm not so sure. Sirius, when I was... When I saw Mr. Weasley attacked, I wasn't just watching. I was the snake. And afterwards, in Dumbledore's office... there was a moment when I wanted to..."
Then she shut her eyes for a second.
"This connection between me and Voldemort. What if the reason for it is that I am becoming more like him? I just feel so angry all the time. And what if, after everything that I've been through... something's gone wrong inside me? What if I'm becoming bad?"
Then Sirius put a hand on both shoulder.
"I want you to listen to me very carefully, Haley. You're not a bad person. You're a very good person who, bad things have happened to. You understand? Besides, the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters. We've all got both light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are."
She smiled and nodded. Then they started to leave the room and meet up with Remus and Peter.
"When all this is over, we'll be a proper family. You'll see." Sirius said.
Then he gave her a hug.
"Hey Sirius, where were you?" Peter said.
"She found my family tree." he said.
"Ahh, well, why don't you get to bed." Remus said.
Haley nodded and said good night to the three of them.
When she got to her room she saw Neville sitting on her desk chair.
"Neville, what are you doing in here?" she asked smiling.
"To give you your Christmas present." he said and handed her her present.
She opened it and was surprised. It was a necklace shaped like a heart.
"Open it." he said smiling.
She opened it and saw a picture of Neville giving her a kiss.
She smiled and gave him a real kiss.
"Thanks." she said.
He helped her put it on and said good night.
