I didn't even think about it 'till recently that my rating might have been a little low and for some places this fic is going to go, the rating needed to go up. So in other words, this fic went from K+ rating to M. If you aren't considered in the M rating description (not the right age or something) and you're reading this, well, I don't really care, just don't bitch later. And for those who don't want anything really explicit, any lemons will be clearly marked. I would put the rating higher (on the rating guide there's a MA) but the actually rating meter thing won't go higher.

For those who caught it, sorry for the house elf blunder, I fixed it -blush-
LAST TIME ON The Feel Of Feeling

"Good night Merle."

"Good night Tamina."

They smiled at each other and entered their rooms.

'this is Ra speaking to Harry'

--Chapter 9--

Harry slowly came back into consciousness and groggily opened his eyes. HE yelped and scrambled back from the head that was right beside his and ended up on the floor tangled in his sheets. He heard barking laughter and felt his eye twitch.

"Ra." He growled.

'Yes my Harry human?'

"That wasn't funny."

'Yes it was'

Harry resisted banging his head on a hard surface and untangled himself from his sheets. Once he was free he stood up and dusted himself off, even if he didn't have any dust on himself.

With a quick wordless tempus he ruffled around in his bag for clothes. Once he picked what to wear out of his bag he looked at the time and froze. Five am. He turned to Ra with a glare.

"I hate you."

'Can we play?'

Harry growled low in his throat and stalked into the attached bathroom, slamming the door before Ra could follow.

'Heeeeey!'

After a shower and having calmed down Harry dressed and emerged from the bathroom…

"Gah!"

…Only to go back in.

"Ra! If you're going to do that do it somewhere I can't see! I don't want to see you cleaning there! I don't want to see there at all!"

'Sorry Harry human, I'll stop.'

"Thank all things good and holy!"

Harry cautiously opened the door and peaked out and let out a sigh of relief when he saw Ra was sitting normally. He opened the door the rest of the way and stepped into his room.

"Now what?"

He flopped himself on his bed and stared at the ceiling. The bed dipped as Ra jumped onto the bed.

'Play?'

Harry sighed and turned his head to Ra.

"Is that all you ever think of?"

'…Yes?'

Harry rolled his eyes.

"Fine."

'Yay!'

Ra jumped off the bed and Harry pulled himself up.

"But try to stay quiet, we are guests here."

'Okay!'

With a quiet pop a black panther appeared in Harry's place. The panther lunged and tackled Ra. The wrestled for a little before Ra broke away and ran for the door. Running through the doors shadow he appeared on the other side and took off down the hall. Harry quickly followed, sliding around corners as he took them at fast speeds as he chased after the errant grim.

Later he would deny it, but Harry walked away that morning the loser of the game. As he was up earlier then everyone else he wondered into the kitchen to make some breakfast.

'Can we play more later?'

"No," Harry winced thinking of the bruises forming from hitting the walls; "but maybe Emily will."

'Okay!'

Harry shuddered thinking of what the two could get into but figured it was better then being a human bruise on his second day of holiday. He shook his head and turned to clearly magical kitchen and muttered "I hope I don't burn the house."

Ra snickered and Harry shot him a glare. He pulled the sleeves of his turtle neck up in a decisive move.

"Well, no time better to start then now when I hopefully have a couple hours until the first person is up and have time to figure out how to work these things."

Ra tried to sneak out of the kitchen but Harry used his air element to prevent him from doing so.

"Oh no Ra," he gave him an evil smile, "you're going to stay in here with me so I can blame anything on you later."

Ra whimpered thinking that if his Harry-humans friends parents were anything like his Harry-human about their kitchen, well, it wouldn't be pretty.

Two and a half hours later both Harry and Ra were covered in multiple things but edible food had been made.

"Now for clean up!" Harry looked around the kitchen, almost every surface covered with something. "Umm, you think scourgify will work?" He looked nervously at Ra.

"A little to late for that I think."

Harry and Ra squeaked and whirled around to look at the speaker in synchronized movements.

"Uh, hi Mrs. Mane." Harry and Ra both looked nervous making Tina laugh.

"I guess the saying the pet takes on the owners' personality is true. And please, call me Tina."

"Yes Mrs. Tina ma'am! But, umm, you're not going to hurt us or anything for, well," he gestured vaguely at the kitchen walls.

"No, my husband makes messes like this every time he tries to cook so the kitchen has self cleaning charms on it that will activate once there's no one in the kitchen."

Harry turned to look at Ra. "We live to see another day."

Tina laughed and shook her head. "Come on, let me help you take the food into the dining room."

"Ok," Harry chirped.

The two picked up as many plates as they could, Tina taking more as she had more balance then Harry and could carry some on her arms and even her head.

"Wow, that's some balance Mrs. Tina."

Tina laughed a little. "You're in my husband class correct?" Harry nodded. "Well then eventually you'll have good balance too, and really Zain, just Tina, no Mrs."

"Okie," He gave her a cheeky grin. "But I can't guarantee I'll do anything to disprove anything between us to Prof Javen." He winked saucily at her.

Tina looked amused and Harry assumed he probably would have got a cuff to the back of the head if it wasn't for the fact they were both carrying plates of food. They walked into the dining room and placed the food on the table before going back to get the rest.

"Well, you certainly made a large breakfast Zain."

Harry scratched the back of his neck embarrassed. "Yaaaaa…"

Tina just smiled at him amused.

"That's all I believe." She looked to Harry for confirmation which he gave. "Good. Tinny." She snapped her fingers and a uniformed house elf popped into the room. "Wake those who aren't awake and inform all that breakfast is served in the dining room please."

"Yes Mistress." The elf bowed low and left the way she came.

Harry nervously shifted under Tina's amused stare until a sleepy Tamina came in followed by an awake and dressed Hermione. Harry grinned, he would bet his 'sister' had already been up for awhile and merely been reading the time away.

Breakfast was a quiet affair as half those there we're sleepy, Emily even going so far as to fall asleep in her food. But while cleaning up a quiet conversation cropped up and plans for the day where made.

Emily, now awake, bounced away to her room to get dressed while the others started putting up the Christmas decorations. Half way through the motion of putting up tinsel Harry froze.

"Christmas music, we need Christmas music."

"Oh?" Tina looked over at him. "And do you have any recommendations?"

Harry grinned "Oh ya, Santa Claus is Comin' by The Tractors."

Hermione groaned and Harry laughed. Getting confused looks Hermione decided to enlighten them.

"I played a Christmas CD when we were in third year and it had that song on it, now he has to play it every year."

Javen laughed, "It must be a good song then."

Hermione glared at him but Harry was already out of the room and she knew, just knew, he was getting the CD. She felt like banging her head against a wall.

Just so you all know, the prologue has been replaced. Eventually all my chapters will be replaced but just that one so far. You will be able to tell which chapters are replaced by the chapter title. I've had them chapter 1 and so on so far, but when I replace them, they'll have words, like the prologue is now Azkaban.

Anyway, enjoy my X-mas gift to you all.
