Merry Christmas for yesterday folks! Sorry I didn't update but as I explained in my author's note, my chapters were on a computer which the internet was down on (Grr) but now I have transferred the files! Yayness!!!

So, who wants to know what happens next? Well, stop reading this and get on with they story! And I thought that intelligent people read my stories, apparently not. No, just joking, I'm sure that all of you are smart!

Chapter 2: 'Are You Sure?'

Last Time…

"So, do you think that she'll be down on Christmas day?" Paige asked.

"Might be. But we'll never know until it…" Phoebe stopped mid sentence because she caught a sight of something by the door frame.

Half hiding was familiar black hair she hadn't seen for over 5 years, dark blue eyes which could pierce any one. A smile she had wanted to see for years. There hiding was…

"Prue…" She said quietly.

Godric's Hollow…

There was a collective gasp and everyone in the room looked around to where Phoebe was looking but saw nothing. No person hiding behind the doorframe. Prue had disappeared around the corner. "No, she was there, I swear!" Phoebe got up and ran to the door frame and looked around the corner, expecting to find her oldest sister. Instead she found nothing but an empty corridor. "No…"

"Phoebe hunny, are you sure?" Piper said.

"Yes I'm sure damn it. I saw Prue, she was smiling at me." She turned back into the room and faced Lily and James. "Do you think you could go up there and find out if it was her?"

"I'll go. I don't think it would be though. She would have appeared in the usual white lights." James said, confused as hell. "But I'll check it out anyway." He kissed Lily's cheek and orbed out.

"James was right. She would have appeared in the white lights." Lily told Phoebe.

Phoebe sat down on Sirius's lap and looked upset. "I was so sure that it was her there."

"We all make mistakes. You just want to see her so badly that you see her anywhere." Sirius said. "I know I was like that just after I got out of Azkaban with…" Sirius stopped, unable to talk about Selene because of how much it upset him.

"Sirius, you don't need to say anymore about that, we know what you're trying to say." Remus said quietly. Sirius just nodded.

"Well, the point is, I know what it's like." Sirius concluded. Phoebe nodded.

"It probably was just my imagination. Wishing for her to be here."

Paige and Piper nodded. James orbed back in.

"According to both Prue and the Elders, she hasn't left there." He told them. "Sorry Phoebe, but I guess it was just your imagination."

"You're probably right." Phoebe agreed.

As the talk progressed into the night, the occupants of Godric's Hollow were slowly going to bed. It got to about 4 in the morning when Piper, Phoebe, Leo, Sirius and James finally went up to bed. On the way up, Piper looked back down the stairs quickly.

"What's wrong Piper?" Phoebe asked, yawning.
"I thought I just heard… Never mind." She said, continuing up the stairs. What she wasn't going to tell anyone was that she thought she had heard Prue. But it WAS 4am, so she could be a bit delusional, if that is the right word.

Godric's Hollow, The Following Morning…

The Kinetic's were up bright and early, at 9am. They were going to practice their powers out on the Quidditch pitch, hopefully squeezing in a few games of Quidditch too. Paige, Lily and Remus all woke up around 10, Phoebe and Sirius got downstairs around 10:30 and Piper and Leo around 11am, after being woken countless times by Chris and Wyatt.

"So, has everyone got all their Christmas presents?" Piper asked, nursing a cup of coffee. Paige and Phoebe were doing the same, Lily with a glass of caffeine free coke, which she was addicted to even more since she was pregnant.

"Yes. Thank god. I don't even want to imagine Diagon Alley at the time of year." Phoebe said.

"Hogsmeade is just as bad. Imagine a Hogwart's visit day and double it. And that is with the new 'whole school can go' rule." Remus said.

"Woah. We had to supervise that last week, it was mayhem. Glad we got it early in the morning before class of before anyone was up there. Thank God for orbing." Paige said.

"I'm sure Ginny loves that too. Speaking of, have you spoken to Sam this week? Do you know if he is coming over Christmas day?" James asked.

"Yes, he wants to thank you for letting him come over and for letting him come when Victor won't be here." Paige grinned. "I can see where I get part of my madness from, he's still afraid that Victor will hit him for having an affair with mum."

"Well, don't take chances. I really don't think he has forgotten about it." Piper said.

"Who holds a grudge for 30 years?" Sirius asked.

"Apparently our father." Phoebe said, smiling.

"Sirius, I'm sure your family hate you even more now for forgetting their life long grudge against Muggleborns and half bloods." James grinned.

"Don't mention them, the only decent ones to come out of that family were me and Andromeda. The rest all went to Voldemort." Sirius said bitterly. "And I never bloody want to see that my mother again."

"Your mother? But I thought you said ages ago that she was dead?" Paige asked.

"A portrait. It's like the paintings at Hogwarts but, hostile." Sirius explained. "And we've tried loads of spells but it won't budge that portrait."

"Maybe a normal wizarding spell won't, but what about a power of 3 spell?" Phoebe said.

"Power of 3 spell for what?" Ginny asked as she walked in with Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"To get rid of the hag on the wall at Grimmauld Place." Sirius said. "Not that I'm planning to go back there very often, but it might be an idea to maybe make it look less creepy."

"Creepy is an understatement. It's horrible and dark and moody and like a haunted house, with it's only ghosts the picture of your mum and Kreacher."

"Kreacher?" Leo asked.

"Family house elf. Always bound to that damn mother of mine. I always thought of Susan as more of a mother than mine."

"Well, we are practically brothers Padfoot." James grinned. "Susan was my mum."

"Oh right, wondering what he was going on about there." Paige smiled.

Later That Day…

Everyone was getting ready for a meal with the Weasleys and the Grangers, some getting dressed, some in the shower. And it what happened at this time that things started getting very weird…
