Yeah This is going to have more than five chapters but I don't think it will be more than ten…

Chapter 4 : Forever Yours

The days passed quickly and soon Christmas Eve was upon them. Tezza had yet to return and Harry was starting to worry.

Eileen and Lyly couldn't stay put for more than five minutes and not for the first time that day Harry was glad that everyone came over for lunch. Molly had already taken over the kitchen, giving him orders, Ron and Herminie were taking care of the kids not only his buy also their own one year old daughter, Rose; and Harry was sure that Fred and George had dragged Draco somewhere, he just hoped that it wasn't his or the twins' room, and that they hadn't forgotten the silencing charms... Again.

Harry still hadn't told them about his twins little scheme, not wanting them to know that he knew about it. He wanted nothing more than to keep their dream of Santa real but he had no idea how he was gonna do that if he didn't know what they had ask for. Not even Hopcup, their house elf who had written the letter, would tell him what was in it, she had insisted of it being her 'little two-sy's' secret.

Lunch was a pleasant affair with Molly trying to overfeed everyone, Ron getting dirty looks for his table manners and Harry giving Draco knowing looks that made the usually closed off blond blush which then made the Weasley twins give him their own looks.

Lunch ended but the family didn't leave until well pass five, each putting a stack of presents under the tree on their way out. The twins, having skipped their afternoon nap plus all of their running around, seem to be ready to drop right where they were standing.

After a bath, Eileen and Lyly were practically dead to the world, and it wasn't even eight. After getting himself a glass of red wine Harry sat by the fire to write his daily letter to Severus. It was something he had started doing about four months into his pregnancy, it was his way of coping with Sev's death. He already had two trunks full of the little 8x6 books.
At first he had write about how the pregnancy was going, when he found out it wasn't one child, but two, the first time they moved, the sleepless nights, the depression and loneliness. It had all been hard but after the twins were born he didn't give himself time to think about the bad, not that he had any to spare the two 'little monster' like Ron liked to call them. After some time he had started to write more mundane things, what they did, what they eaten, now, it was an everyday thing. It made Harry feel closer to Severus, if only in spirit.

Hello Severus
It's almost Christmas again… some hours away actually.

I bough Eileen and Lyly their own potion set in your name.

I think they are old enough for one.

I'm sorry to have to tell you this but Eileen doesn't take after you at all!

She seems to be a true marauder. I think it was her idea to send Tezza to the North Pole.

She is not back yet, I'm starting to worry.

I'm also worry about the girls, I don't know what they asked for.

They will be very disappointed when wake up tomorrow.

I wish you were here, you would know what to do,

you always knew what to do.

Miss you lots Sev.

-Forever your

Harry J. Potter-Snape.

Thank you!
