1 month and 21 days later
December 25, 1989
Jupiter's P.O.V
It is CHRISTMAS. I run down the hall to wake up Harry! Since he came here a lot has changed he is settling in great. He has already grown a few inches and gained weight complements of my mother and Mrs. Weasley.
He surprisingly became best friends with Draco. My cousin. I can't even put into words how happy Ron was. He never really liked my cousin but once Harry had a best friend he became instantly more friendly with both.
Dad and Remus had taken to calling us the mini marauders. I'm happy with how things are going. Harry seems closest to mum. Although he has warmed to pretty much everyone calling the adults by their first name.
I sneak into his room and see him peacefully resting in his red and green flannel pajamas, can't have that can we! Running I leap on to his bed. He bolts up right blinking, I hand him his glasses. He looks at me and yells "What are you bloody doing get out!"
I stick my bottom lip out him he seems unfazed so I say, "Merry Christmas!"
And tackle him! I get a little over excitedly!
He rolls me off of him and tackles me and starts tickling me I run from his room laughing and screaming for help trying not to trip on my pajamas that match Harry's.
My parents open their door and look out they are also in there pjs mom in a plaid flannel night gown and dad is in sweats and a tee shirt, as does Uncle Mooney who has on flannel pants and a cozy looking henly , "Happy Christmas dear parents and Uncle Mooney, glorious morning, pip pip, can you believe Harry woke me up menace he is!"
They all stare at me and Harry runs into my back making us both fall. He looks at me and yell, "You liar you woke me up!"
The adults look at us and Uncle Mooney says, "It's literally 5 in the morning."
I smile and say, "Perfect time to wake up come on come on let's go time for breakfast the Weasleys will be over later as will well everyone time for a relaxing morning before the crazy."
My dad says, "We were trying for that however crazy woke us up!"
Uncle Mooney says to dad, "this is your fault you created that."
Mum says, "Good morning dears happy Christmas!" And wraps me and Harry in a hug.
I look at my dad and say, "Dad what's wrong with your hair?"
He gasps and says, "My own daughter how you wound me so!" Then clutches his chest and halls to the ground with a thud.
I shake my head and smile, "Come on papa get up!" I laugh.
Mom says, " Alright everyone to the tree! I will get cocoa and coffee then we will open presents!" And claps her hands together and scurries in to the kitchen.
Harry and I sit together on my dads arm chair and my dad throws a mock glare our way. We look at each other, lean back in the chair and dramatically sigh in contentment.
Remus laughs and dad grumbles, "Little brats."
The tree is as lovely as always with bewitched green, white and red lights floating around it and tons of ornaments. There are a ton of presents most for me and Harry but we each made or bought some for the adults as well as our friends. Since the Weasleys are our friends you can imagine it's a lot.
Mom comes back with cocoa and coffee. Yes coffee we are British but for my dad, Remus and mom coffee is special. Aunt Lily introduced them to it when she noticed how tired Uncle Mooney was in school. It started a trend with marauder and company.
We all say thank you and take a few sips not only is there a peppermint stick in every cup but also whip cream. Mom makes everything special!
My mom looks at Harry and I and then at the presents and says," Go on then!"
I rush over to the pile I look back at Harry who is obviously a little tense. So I go pick one with his name and hand it to him. I do the same for everyone else to take the pressure off of Harry. Of course I chose the present I made everyone.
Uncle Mooney starts opening his first he always likes Christmas! He opens it to find a patchwork quilt I made for him with my mom and aunt Molly's help! It had a big chunky tree, a wolf, a black dog, and deer. Hey I may be young but I understand after years of jokes what they were talking about!
He looks up and smiles, "I love it pup!" And he reaches out for a hug then I look at my dad and wait. He gives me a small smile then opens his present. It's a black fluffy helmet cover with pointed dog ears that look like padfoot.
He stares at it and then booms out a laughing, "I love it! Makes wearing a helmet infinitely better little one!" And picks me up and twirls me around!
Finally I look at my mama she opens the photo album I have made the past few months of old pictures and new ones. There's ones of my parents, Harry's parents, Remus and various other people I could find. She gets a little teary and says, " Its beautiful." I say back, "Don't cry!" And she wipes her eyes and laughs and I look at Harry and say, "Go on your turn"
He opens it and sees the two pictures I stuck in frames. One is of our family. Everyone in the room on one of the first snows of December. Harry and I are in front and mom, dad and Remus behind us. I'm in front of dad and Uncle Mooney and Harry is in front of mom.
The other says mini marauders, I put on the frame and it's of me, Ron, Harry, and Draco.
Me and Ron were wrestling and got, "to rough" in Harry and Draco's opinion. Harry is pulling me off of Ron while Draco is trying to stop Ron from trying to get back at me. Harry is laughing I'm yelling Draco is wagging his finger at Ron and Ron looks mad. It's our dynamic.
Harry just looks up and smiles, then he ruffles my hair and says, "Thank you now open yours!"
Finally I look at my present its a small box wrapped kinda awkwardly on both red and silver paper. I open it and it's pretty antique looking necklace it is silver with a rectangular black stone with silver flecks as the centerpiece and filigree on the top and bottom making the whole thing marquee shaped. I run my hands over it and feel a clasp. I open it and it a picture like the one gave Harry only we are all smiling and standing together.
Ron and Harry both have an arm around me. Harry also has his arm around Draco. The four of us all together. On the other side of the picture is engraved, family and friends, till the very end. I look at the card and it's from Harry, Ron, and Draco together.
I look at Harry and rush to hug him. I'm all watery and crying. He laughs and says, "Are you crying?"
I just tell him to, "Shut up!"
My mom says, " Well come show us then."
So I go show everyone and they love it too.
Finally my dad claps his hands and says, "Next round of presents."
The presents carry on and Harry comes to a few from my parents. He opens the smallest one first. He opens it slowly with a curious look on his face. As he opens it his eyes fill with tears and I go to see what it is. I look over his shoulder to see a metal cuff. The center of it is a large gold Potter crest. On the right is a smaller silver Black Family crest and on the left is a bronze lupin family crest.
The Potter crest is that of a lion roaring it was inset with ruby eyes. It was beautiful and the multicolor metals shone and seemed warming to look at. Next thing I knew Harry threw himself at my mom crying.
You could hear him say, "Thanks mum, Padfoot, Uncle Mooney!"
Then everyone started crying and hugging. We had all realized what he had said, and what it meant and everyone was happy he did, especially mom. I hugged Uncle Mooney while Harry's godparents hugged him. It was a magical morning.
Then my mom looked at me and said, "Time to start getting ready for the party!"
I ran for it!
