Right, then what hot chocolate would you like''
''Can I have white chocolate please'' Lyra asked her mother
''I'll have chocolate''
''I'll have the same as Matthew'' Harry said grinning
Hermione smiled ''Cream and Marshmallows?''
''And chocolate sprinkles'' Lyra said giving her mother the puppy dog eyes
Hermione sighed ''Fine, I'll go make the drinks while you choose the film'' Hermione walked out into the kitchen and pulled out the packets her mother had bought.
She chose the hazelnut one for herself just like her the kids liked to have a variety of flavours she pointed her wand at the kettle and it was instantly boiled.
She grinned and poured the hot water into each mug, her father had gone to his study while her mother had gone to bed since she had been up early and to give her time with the kids.
Once that was done she reached for the squirty cream added some marshmallows and topped it with chocolate sprinkles before placing the cream back into the fridge and levitating one of the mugs into the living room with her she handed each of them there hot chocolates before joining them on the sofa.
Lyra was sat in the middle with Matthew while Harry was on there right and she on the left Harry had grabbed a blanket and
placed it over them so she smiled and asked what they were watching ''So what are we watching''
Matthew looked up ''it was a choice between Elf and The Polar Express, so we chose the Polar Express''
Hermione smiled ''Oh good I haven't watched that film for quite a long time''
Harry frowned ''I can't remember it to be honest''
Lyra looked scandalised ''How can you not remember it! it's like one of the best Christmas films out''
Harry smiled ''I'm not denying that it isn't I just can't remember watching it has been a rather long time''
Matthew grinned ''You'll like this film Uncle Harry and you might remember it when you watch it again''
Harry nodded ''Perhaps'' and just like that he settled back with his hot chocolate and a blanket on his lap with his family he couldn't help but smile it was perfect.
Matthew grinned he knew the song that was coming up and he loved this one as did his sister and at the same time they began the song
(Matthew & Lyra)
La La La La La La La La
La La La La la La La
La La La La la La...
(Matthew)
I'm wishing on a star
And trying to believe
That even though it's far
He'll find me Christmas Eve
I guess that Santa's busy
Cause he's never come around
I think of him
When Christmas comes to town.
Lyra gave a small smile as she began to sing in her lovely voice this was one of her favourite Christmas films, and this song usually made her feel sad as she would think about her mother and how she wasn't' around.
Like she and her brother had always wished and wanted however this time it wasn't making her sad it just made her very happy because she finally got her wish. Her mother was back for good she knew her brother thought the same as her also as they continued to sing the song.
(Lyra)
The best time of the year
When everyone comes home
With all this Christmas Cheer
It's hard to be alone
Putting up the Christmas tree
With friends who come around
It's so much fun
When Christmas comes to town
(Matthew)
Presents for the children
Wrapped in red and green
All these things I've heard about
But never really seen
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa's on his way
(Lyra)
When Santa's sleigh bells ring
I listen all around
The herald angels sing
I never hear a sound
And all the dreams of children
Once lost will all be found
That's all I want when Christmas comes to town
That's all I want when Christmas comes to town
Hermione and Harry looked up and locked eyes and both gave a small smile it was one full of hope, love and happiness that they were all together finally and that they would be able to give the kids the life and family that they so desperately wanted. She then looked back towards the film just in time as the kids that had been singing out side of the moving train re-entered the carriage's.
Hermione also had a feeling that this song meant something more to the kids as they seemed quite emotional unlike the other times they would sing she knew that Harry had picked up on it also so she would have to ask one of the kids about that later otherwise it would bug her but that could wait as she continued to watch the film when she heard the kids begin to sing the next song.

''Well that was a long and crazy song wasn't it'' Harry said amused
Hermione chuckled ''It was a bit wild''
Matthew and Lyra grinned but it was Matthew who spoke ''Yes but its a good one like the other song''
''Hey mum sing the next one with uncle Harry''
Hermione smiled and began she knew Harry would sing he would do anything to keep the kids happy.
(Harry)
Children, sleeping.
Snow is softly falling.
Dreams are calling,
Like bells in the distance.
We were dreamers,
Not so long ago
But one by one, we
All had to grow up.
(Hermione)
When it seems the magic slipped away...
We find it all again on Christmas Day.
Believe in what your heart is saying,
Hear the melody that's playing.
There's no time to waste,
There's so much to celebrate.
Believe in what you feel inside,
Give your dreams the wings to fly.
You have everything you need, if you just believe.
(Harry)
Trains move quickly
To their journey's end.
Destinations...
And where we begin again.
Ships go sailing,
Far across the sea.
Trusting starlight,
To get where they need to be.
(Hermione)
When it seems that we have lost our way...
We find ourselves again on Christmas Day.
Believe in what your heart is saying,
Hear the melody that's playing.
There's no time to waste,
There's so much to celebrate.
Believe in what you feel inside,
Give your dreams the wings to fly.
You have everything you need, if you just believe.
(Hermione & Harry)
If you just believe.
If you just believe.
If you just believe...just believe...just believe.
''Awe I like that song'' Hermione said smiling softly ''You did well Harry I was surprised you remembered.''
''Well I wasn't sure I'd remember the song but I heard it before the original obviously'' he said chuckling
Lyra smiled ''You got the best singing voice ever mum''
Matthew smiled ''She's right mum, and Uncle Harry isn't to bad either''
Harry chuckled ''Well being around you guys and your mother I'm going to improve or at least sound more in tune.''
An hour and half later the film credits came on letting them know that the film was finished ''Well that was a nice Christmas film''
Matthew looked at his uncle ''Do you remember it now''
Harry smiled ''Yes I remembered it when I heard the song that you sang with your sister
Hermione looked at the clock and saw it was nearly nine ''Whoa it's nine o'clock come on time for bed you two its late.''
''Awe but I'm not tired'' Matthew said pouting.
Hermione chuckled ''No that's why your eyes were closing towards the end of the film, besides the sooner you go to bed the sooner it will be Christmas Eve which means one more day until Father Christmas comes.''
She smirked ''And if you go to bed like a good boy if it snows tomorrow we will go and build a snowman.''
Matthew looked at his mother and seemed to be weighing up the options when he nodded ''Ok then''
Hermione raised her eyebrow at Harry in amusement ''Ok then right up we get time for bed Matthew go on up I need your sister to take her potions.''
Matthew nodded and made his way up to his room to wait for his mother he would be wearing his superman pyjamas.
Hermione walked into the kitchen with Lyra and pulled down the pain and sickness potions however this pain potion was stronger and would last all night until late morning ''There we go darling open up.''
Hermione gave her the pain potion first then followed it with the sickness potion she chuckled when her daughter scrunched up her nose at the taste ''There all done, now then go up to bed get dressed and I'll come and tuck you in.''
Lyra run from the kitchen she wanted to get to her room and see if she can be dressed before her mother got there.
Harry smiled ''I think I may go to bed now as well, I'll read Matthew a story if you like then you can read Lyra one.''
Hermione smiled ''Yeah you read Matthew one and I'll do Lyra then we can both say goodnight to each one before going to bed, or you can go straight to bed if you like.''
Harry smiled ''No I will be Happy to read to him''
Hermione smiled and nodded ''Ok then'' she waved her hand and all mugs were washed and put away while the blanket was folded up and back on the sofa she then turned the Tv off and made sure her wards were still strong and everything was locked she then turned the lights off and followed Harry up the stairs only she was going to her daughters room while Harry went to Matthews room.
Harry walked in to see Matthew sitting up in bed waiting ''Right then buddy what story do you want''
Matthew smiled ''Can you tell me the one where you and mum saved Sirius and how mum punched her friend.''
