Kenneth's POV
On Christmas Day Kenneth his brothers and sisters got up early. Their dad and papa were still in bed. 'I wish they would hurry up,' Annette grumbled. 'Let's go wake them up then,' Kenneth suggested. The other nontuplets agreed with this plan. The nine of them snuck to their parents door and pushed it open. Kenneth counted to three and then all of them yelled; 'WAKE UP!' Harry and Draco woke with a start. They saw their children laughing and glared at them. 'You know you could just have shaken us awake,' Harry said annoyed. 'Where is the fun in that?' Kenneth asked. His parents looked at each other and rolled their eyes. 'Ok seeing as how we're up we might as well open presents,' Draco said. Kenneth and his brothers and sisters cheered and hurried down the stairs.
They ran into the living room and found a whole pile of presents under the tree. Their parents soon entered and everyone sorted out their presents. They took it in turns to unwrap presents. When it came to Kenneth's turned he eagerly opened his first present. It was a phoenix feather quill. He stared at in awed. His parents smiled at him. 'Thank you!' he cried hugging them both. His brothers and sisters had banded together to get him a present. They had gotten him some chocolate frogs, liquorice wands and Bertie Bots Every-Flavour Beans. They'd also gotten him some new leather bound books for school. Kenneth thanked his siblings. Kenneth's news friends had also sent him presents. Russell had sent him a book about Qudditch. Matthew had sent him wizard chess set and Robert had sent him a hologram device. When he pushed a button a Qudditch player appeared and pulled off a spectacular Wronskei Feint. Kenneth eyes widened. He quickly snatched up the book on Qudditch Russell sent him. He found the device demonstrated the moves described in the book.
Everyone was very happy with their presents. When they were done Kenneth ran up to the room he shared with Dunstan and wrote letters to his friends to thank them for the presents. As he didn't have an owl he asked Lilias if Nirvana could take his letter. Lilias agreed to this as Nirvana was also taking Leander's letters as well as her own. Christabel allowed Anette and Esther to use Athena to deliver their letters. Hortensia let Dunstan and Bertram give their letters to her owl, Shadow-wing. The three owls were let out of the house and were soon winging away to deliver the letters.

Everyone came round to the Malfoy-Potter mansion for lunch. Ginny and Luna brought Josie, Ianthe and Meriel. George and Angelina brought Magda, Rosabella, Geoffrey and Ephraim. Fred and Lee brought Donoghue and Effie (Fred had given birth some time ago). Ron and Oliver brought Veronica. Dean and Seamus brought Sean and Hermione and Terry brought Desdamona and Lysander. They had a fantastic lunch of roast turkey, stuffing, roast vegetables, cauliflower cheese and gravy (Fred gave Effie her baby formula). For dessert there was an amazing Christmas pudding.
After lunch the adults talked while the older children entertained the younger children. Kenneth was holding Effie while the girls cooed over her. 'She's so little,' Ianthe said. This made the others laugh. 'You were probably this little when you were born,' Kenneth pointed out. Soon Effie fell asleep and Kenneth took her back to her parents. Then he went to play games with the other children.

Everyone ended up staying late so the adults threw together a picnic style dinner. After dinner everyone headed home. They said their goodbyes and all of a sudden the Malfoy-Potter household seemed much quieter. Kenneth and his siblings weren't ready to go back to bed though. They wanted to stay up longer. Their parents let them stay up to watch a movie. Kenneth chose the movie. It was a Christmas movie that was a family favourite.
When the movie had finished the nontuplets drifted back to their rooms. Kenneth and Dunstan went to their room and got ready for bed. Kenneth wanted to read his Qudditch book so he picked that up off his bedside table and settled down to read it. Eventually he started to get tired so he put the book away and went to sleep.

Much to Kenneth's surprise and delight he actually did get to see Russell, Matthew and Robert during the holidays. He'd given them his address and they surprise him by turning up at his house. 'How did you get here?' Kenneth asked ushering his friends inside. 'Matthew's parents dropped us off. They're coming back later to pick us up again,' Robert told him.
Kenneth led them through the house until he found his parents. Harry and Draco looked up when their son entered. 'Hi dad, hi papa,' he said, 'these are my new friends Russell, Matthew and Robert.' 'It's nice to meet, you,' Draco said as he and Harry shook their hands. 'It's nice to meet you too,' Russell said. 'Why don't you show your friends round the house?' Harry suggested. 'OK,' Kenneth agreed.
He took Russell, Matthew and Robert on a tour of the house. They were amazed at big the place was. Then again it had to be with eleven people living there. The tour ended with Kenneth and Dunstan's bedroom. Dunstan wasn't there so the four boys entered the room. 'Do you all share bedrooms?' Matthew asked, 'Yes,' Kenneth replied, 'Christabel and Hortensia share a room. So do Bertram and Leander. Annette, Esther and Lilias all share a room.'
The four boys talked for a while and then decided to go and play in the snow. When they got outside they saw that Kenneth's brothers and sisters had gotten into a mass snowball fight. The fight stopped when the other nontuplets saw Kenneth and his friends there. Introductions were made and Kenneth, Russell, Matthew and Robert all joined in with the snowball fight.

Afterwards they went inside wet and covered with snow but happy. It wasn't that long after that Matthew's parents came to pick the boys up. Kenneth said goodbye to his friends and then went and changed into drier clothes.
Kenneth had enjoyed having his friends over. They'd had a good time engaging in the snowball fight with his siblings. He was looking forward to seeing his friends again when they went back to Hogwarts for a new term.
