Sure enough it was Christmas break. Harry, Tracey 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, Tracey, over here!" Lily said.

So they said goodbye to Hermione and headed to their parents.

"Hi mum, hi dad." Tracey said.

"Hello you two." Lily said.

"Ready to go?" James asked.

They 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 a hug while Remus gives Tracey a hug.

Harry's Sirius' pup and Remus' cub while Tracey's Sirius' Prongslet and Remus' cubling. Remus is a very protective alpha of his pack, especially for Harry.

"Good." Harry said hugging back.

Then Remus hugged Harry while Sirius hugged Tracey.

"Not getting into trouble are you?" Remus asked.

"No, we try not to." Tracey 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 two." Sirius said.

The twins looked at each other and nodded.

"Happy-" started Harry.

"Christmas-" continued Tracey.

"Padfoot!" they finished together.

He chuckled a little.

"You two don't use that often, do you?"

"Not really, Fred and George on the other hand," Harry said.

"They always do it and drives people nuts." Tracey said.

"I've heard." Remus said.

"Ready for parents everyone?" Lilly asked.

"Tweeky is making dinner right now so let's do that." James said.

"Alright." Harry said.

"Sure." Tracey said.

"Can you two open mine first?" Sirius said.

"Sure, I guess." Tracey said.

So they opened them and Harry got a batch of broom cleaning kit. And Tracey got a gold and red necklace.

Remus got Harry a few books of Defense Against the Dark Arts because he knew it was his favorite and best subject. And Tracey a few books of transportation, it was her best subject. So Harry helps her with DADA while she helps him with transportation at school.

James got Harry a new book of 'Quidditch between the ages' 'And Tracey a new 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard' after losing her other book. Harry will offer to share

it but she said it would be better if they had their own books. He knew it was Tracey's favorite book.

Lily got them both a warm blanket for school if they get cold.

And Molly got them both a Weasley sweater, Harry green and Tracey red. Hermione got them chocolate.

Then for their parents and uncles Harry got Sirius a bone and everyone laughed. The dog was trying to get it in his mouth. Tracey him a squeaky toy. They all laughed even harder.

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, Tracey and Harry knew. Voldemort might know from Peter but they don't know.

Lily from their seventh year when James and Lily started dating. Remus trusted her enough to tell her his 'fury little problem'. Snape after the accident sixth year. And the kids because they're their friends kids and are their godparents. They trust them 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 from Harry and a bracelet from Tracey. James got a watch from Both of them put together and Remus a book from Harry and chocolate from Tracey.

"Thanks guys, 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 and Tracey decided to do their homework. So they decided to go ask their parents for some help while they were there. They 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.

"I need some help with Defense Against the Dark Arts and charms to. Professor Flitwick is nice, but he can give us hard homework!" Tracey said. "We know dad's good at transfiguration and Mum's good at charms. I'm pretty good at transfiguration but I'm not as good as dad. Harry's the best in our year at DADA so I'm sure he can help me with that, right?"

He nodded.

"Sure thing!"

Their parents smiled.

"Sure thing you two. I've heard from plenty of teachers that Harry's the best at DADA in years."

He turned bright red.

"I'm not that good."

Tracey stared at him.

"You're kidding right? You're better at it than Hermione! And that's saying something. You have to help her with homework sometimes!"

"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.
