Luna woke up to the sound of something frying in the kitchen. She opens her eyes and sat up. She rubs her eyes and smiled. She looked sideways and found that Hermione was sitting in the mattress that they placed on the floor at the front of the TV, reading a book. She looked around for Harry and saw that he was cooking. It smelled delicious, out of the three of them she was the worst cook and Harry was the best. She looked at Hermione still engrossed at the book she was reading and had not greeted her good morning. She attacked Hermione with a hug which snapped her out of the book, "LUNA!" Hermione shouted out of surprise and Luna just giggled. "Good morning to you too Hermione." Luna said, Harry went over to them only to find that Luna's arms were wrapped around Hermione forcibly. He chuckled at the two of them and said "Good Morning Luna." Luna looked at him and smiled brightly "Good morning Harry." she replied, upon hearing the reply Harry went back to tend the dish he was cooking.

Luna loosen her arms around Hermione "Someone's chipper this morning. What's gotten you this morning?" Hermione asked. Luna let go of Hermione and laid her head in her thigh. "I'm just happy. It's been a long time since we've done this you know." Luna answered, "I know, I missed this too." Hermione replied.

"We should do this again. Maybe next summer, and we should drink some beer or fire whiskey to make it more fun." Luna said.

"Aren't we too young to drink beer?" Hermione said

"It's better that we get drunk and know how much alcohol we can handle with the people you trust and care than getting drunk with strangers that will probably take advantage of us girls Hermione. Like Sophie, who was taken advantage by her own classmate because she gotten drunk after we won the cup last year." Luna argued.

Hermione nodded, she could see that it was a good idea and why it was better. "I guess you're right. I mean who would take advantage of us when it's just the three of us." Hermione said.

"The two can probably take advantage of Harry." Luna said giggling at the ideas. Hermione giggled at the idea of messing with Harry. She was about to say when Harry shouted "Food's ready" Hermione and Luna looked at him and then at each other and both nodded. "We'll talk later" Hermione said and Luna nodded as a reply. The two of them went to the kitchen to help Harry set the table so they can eat. When they were done preparing the trio sat down and began eating. "What's the plan today?" Luna asked Harry and Hermione, when she looked at the two of them and knew the meaning of their faces. "Come on guys, let's spend the day together. Let's have some fun." Luna said excitedly with cute puppy eyes to the two of them. Harry was definitely sold to the idea of having fun and looked at Hermione with an expression that begged her to join the two of them.

"What the hell, I'll send my mum and dad to inform them I'm coming home late." Hermione said. The two jump cheerily and high fived. "Great, I have some plans to enjoy this day. I'm thinking we should do some Christmas shopping in Diagon Alley. We always go to the muggle districts and shops for Christmas. This time why don't we go magical?" Luna suggested with excitement in her voice, while looking up dreamily.

"I think that's a great idea. We should also go to some restaurants at Diagon Alley. Hermione and I never really had been into those places as of yet." Harry said. The trio continued planning while eating, after they were done they started preparing to go to Diagon Alley. An hour and a half later the camp was already empty as its usual occupants went out to have fun.

Harry and Luna were sitting in the mattress at the front of the TV watching a movie. Hermione had already went home as it was already late. The two of them were slouching while touching their stomachs. "So full." Harry said, closing his eyes and he laid down. "We did ate quite a lot didn't we?" Luna said, who also closed his eyes and kept massaging her stomach, Luna looked at her stomach and saw the little bulge forming. "I'm getting fat." Luna said. Harry looked at her and see that she had a small bulge in her stomach. He looked over to his and see that he had one too. "Me too, I bet Hermione is too." Harry replied, Luna nodded as a response. "Maybe we should change the general workroom into a workout room. We haven't put stuff in there and I really don't see us working there. Or we can enroll into a martial arts class." Harry continued.

"Martial arts?" Luna turned her body towards him to ask. "Hand to hand combat. It's the muggle way of fighting you know and also a form of exercise and fun." Harry answered. "Okay, I'm in. We don't want to make this…" Luna stopped to expose her stomach and compressed it with her two hands. "….. To be any bigger." Luna said and started playing with her tummy. Harry laughed at that, he always laugh at Luna's jokes or her antics. Many people would have find it weird, odd and crazy when people interact with her but he and Hermione always find it charming, funny and weird, but in a good way. Harry followed Luna's actions and exposed his stomach too so that he can play with it too. Luna even draw a face on her to make it funnier. Harry laughed more when she did this.

Harry rode towards his house. He was gone for 4 days and he only sent one letter to his family saying that he needed some space and sometime to think about the events that had happened before he left. He was worried and nervous. He had spent 2 days in the camp alone, working and thinking about what he should do next. Luna and Hermione only visited for a few hours only to leave to go home with their family. The two of them kept supporting him and kept advising him on what to do next and how to deal with his mum and dad. He had come to the conclusion that he wanted them to be part of his life and that he wanted to be part of theirs. He walked to the door and knocked. He anxiously waited for them to answer.

Lily was putting up Christmas decoration in the house together with James, Scott and Rose. The four of them tried to ignore the missing piece of their family. Harry. They wondered where he was, what he was doing, what is he thinking and how he is. Maybe she was wrong and just let things be but she couldn't just do it because her instincts told her that if she did that Harry would distance himself away from them until they lose him forever. She was snapped out of her thoughts when there was a knock on the door. James was about to walk over to see who it was but Lily put her hands to stop him. "I'll get it" she said and immediately walked towards the door. When she opens the door, she saw that Harry was standing there in front of her.

"Hey, Merry Christmas mum," Harry said with a smile. Lily smiled when Harry greeted her and called her mum, a wave of relief and happiness washed over her and rushed towards Harry to hug him. Harry was a bit surprised when his mum hugged him but he returned the hug after the moment of surprise. "I'm sorry I made you worry." Harry said. Lily shook her head no "its okay, we understand." she said, they broke off the hug when they heard two shouts and footsteps running towards them. "Harry!" Rose and Scott said together. Scott was the first to hug Harry as he runs faster than their 4 year old sister. Harry returned the hug and kissed the top of Scott's head. Then Rose came over and he picked her up and Rose kissed his right cheek. "Did the two of you miss me?" Harry asked. Scott just looked up and nodded his head yes as a response. "Yes we did Harry, are you going to spend Christmas with us Harry?" Rose asked Harry. "Yes Rosie, I'm spending Christmas with you." Harry answered.

"Yayy! I keep asking mum and dad where you were and they said you were busy. Also, mum and dad are not sure if you are spending Christmas with us." Rose said. "Don't worry, I'm spending Christmas with you and I'll be spending the rest of holidays with you." Harry replied, while shuffling Scott's hair. Rose cheered when she heard this and showered Harry's face with kisses. "Okay, okay calm down lady." Harry said after laughing at her antics and he puts her down as his arms were getting sore from carrying her and gave her to his mum. He turned to Scott and asked "Are you all right?" he asked when he saw that he was a bit teary eyed. Scott nodded his head yes "Yeah, just worried is all." Scott answered. Harry nodded and replied "Don't worry, it won't happen again and I'm sorry for making you worry."

Scott just waved him off while shaking his head. "I understand why you had to leave." he said. Harry nodded and walked towards his dad. When he reached he started to apologize "I'm sorry for punching you in the….." Harry said but was cut off when his dad crushed him with his hug. "Welcome home." James said, Harry returned his dad's hug "thank you" Harry replied. After the greetings Harry helped in decorating the house with Christmas ornaments. James went to the master's bedroom to get the camera to capture the happy moment.

December 25 1991

Hermione was laying in her bed asleep. When suddenly she woken by someone who was shaking her. She opened her eyes and saw it was David who woke her up. "Hermione, Hermione wake up. It's Christmas morning." David said while running to her bed. Crookshanks woke and quickly went to the floor to continue his sleep. "Uuuuggggghhhhh" Hermione replied. David wasn't done waking her up and he took her hand and pulled her up and make her sit sitting. "Come on Hermione, it's already 7." David said while pulling his big sister up. "Okay, okay I'm up. I'll go downstairs, just give me a minute to wash." Hermione said who sat up. "Why, it's not going to make you pretty." David said then push his tongue out to tease her and ran off immediately when Hermione was going to kill him. "Mum, Dad! Wake up its Christmas morning" He shouted.

Hermione just sighed after David left her room. She wondered how her little brother had so much energy every morning while she would always need help just to open her eyes in the morning. She sat upright and stretched back and hands when she was done she looked around her bedroom and saw that two new gifts had arrived. She knew it was from Harry and Luna as the three of them had agreed to give their gifts on Christmas day. Hedwig can easily deliver it to them. Deciding that she would open them later in the day. She got out of bed to wash her face and brush her teeth. When she was done she went back to her room to change into something more appropriate.

When she was finished, she went downstairs only to find David was squatting in front of the Christmas tree. "Hurry up Hermione. Mum, Dad time to open presents." he shouted towards upstairs. "Did you brush your teeth David?" Hermione asked. David made a face that Hermione recognized every time she saw it. "No" David lied. "Go brush your teeth first. If mum and dad will come here. They will find out that you haven't brush your teeth. "They'll get mad and would ruin the Christmas mood. So go, shoo, brush your teeth first." Hermione said, while pointing her index finger towards upstairs. David, grumbled and ran towards upstairs so he can quickly brush his teeth. When he left, Hermione walked towards the kitchen to make herself some hot chocolate that would be perfect for this cold weather.

Hermione sat down in the living room with a mug of hot chocolate in her hands with her mum and dad. Then he heard his brother running down the stairs, "No running down the stairs David Granger" Andrea stood up and said with her voice raised and both of her hand in her hips. David reached downstairs and stopped his tracks, he smiled sheepishly towards his mum, scratched the back of his head and apologized. Andrea accepted his apology quickly and gesture him to come and join them. When he sat down besides Hermione Andrea followed and sat beside her husband. "By the way, later in the afternoon we're going to visit Grandma Tessie and Grandpa Peter." Louise said casually while sipping his coffee. Hermione was excited when she heard this. It's been forever since she saw her grandparents. Her grandparents had given her parents the scolding of their life last year when they learned how they treated her, how terrible people they were and how ashamed they were of them. Her parents had promised her grandma and grandpa to never do it again and that they are trying their best to make it up to her.

Hermione snapped out of her thoughts when they proceeded to open the gifts they've given to each other. David had received a game boy from Hermione which he loved so much. He hugged, kissed and thank his big sister for the gift she had given him. The gift from his parents were a pair of football boots and some jerseys for him to play football in the neighborhood park. When it was Hermione's time to open the gifts she excitedly tore gift wrappers that were in her pile. David given her a spiral notebook with the periodic table as the cover. Hermione thank David and he kissed his left cheek and hugged him.

"I'll go get your gift from you mum and I Hermione" Louise said and went outside. Hermione was confused and see that the wrapped gift that her father had given her was empty. She was about to open the gift from her mother and she stopped her. "Let's wait for your father first." Andrea said. When Louise came back, "Merry Christmas sweetie" Hermione looked over her dad and saw that he was walking with a brand new bicycle.

Hermione squealed and ran towards his mum and dad to hug the two of them. Hermione proceeded to open the gift from her mother and saw that 3 matching helmets. "It's also for your friends Luna and Harry." Andrea explained when she saw the confused on Hermione's face. Hermione thanked her mum and dad again and then gestured for them to open their gifts David and Hermione had given the two of them. David had given the two of them a painting of the four of them he made. While Hermione had given the two of them a magical locket that would tell if someone from the 4 of them were endangered or safe.

December 25, 1991

Luna was walking towards the tomb stone where her mother laid peacefully. She and her dad had went to her Aunt Phoebe's house, her dad's side, to celebrate Christmas. Ever since her mum died, the two of them had always spent the Holidays with her aunt. She was thankful that her dad had the initiative to do that. It was better spending it with her aunt and cousin, Jessica which made those holidays much fun than having the holidays with just the two of them.

Her father was busy with writing another journalist. Ever since her mother died, her dad had put all his time into the Quibbler and less at home like he used to before her mother died. She was no better, ever since her mum died she had spent most of her time also working at the Quibbler or at her aunt's Phoebe's house. She wished her dad would get over the death of her mum. It had been four years since her mother passed away and his dad is still hurting. And she wished she could do something, she had tried everything she can to help her dad move on but she guess that only time can really heal her dad.

She reached the tombstone and she started to get rid of the weeds, leaves and twigs. It wouldn't do well to have slashkilters, which infest on twigs and leaves on the winter which causes the area they infested to be unnoticed. Once her mum's tomb stone was clean, she collected the weeds, leaves and twigs, scooped it up with her two arms and began walking towards the tall grasses outside their property. Just because there were pests infesting on her mum's grave doesn't they deserved to die. Once she was outside their property, she slowly put down the leaves and twigs on the ground. "There. You can live here peacefully. There are a lot of food you can eat here compared before. Please tell your friends not to disturb my mum's grave." Luna said to the invisible slashkilters and she then skipped towards her mum's grave. She pulled a blanket and lay it down. She sat down at the blanket and pulled out their favorite dessert when she was alive. She pulled out two puddings, opened it and laid one on the ground while the one was for her.

"Merry Christmas mum. I'm sorry I haven't been able to visit you properly in the past 4 years. "Luna said. She became quiet because of the guilt of not visiting her mum's resting place for a long time. "But better late than never. The muggles say. You wouldn't believe how inventive and innovative the muggles are. Harry my best friend showed me some wicked stuff that they created. The one was the heater, it can make the room warm when the weather's cold. There's also the cars for the transportation. The television, it's like the WWN mum but it shows pictures moving and talking, it's so amazing mum. I've been able to know this stuff because of Harry and Hermione, my best friends mum, you'll love them for sure." She stopped to take bite on her pudding,

"Maybe I'll invite Harry and Hermione. So they can get to know you better. The two of them are amazing mum. They're really smart, witty, kind and hardworking. Just like me!" Luna said with a raised voice and with a bright smile. "Remember? When I asked you what kind of person I am. Well they are like me too. They can be cruel and cold too some people. Like Valerie and her friends. They used to bully me at Hogwarts before I befriended Harry and Hermione. Their bullying went too far one day. Good thing Harry and Hermione found me. What they did humiliated and hurt some so much and when Harry and Hermione found me they furious and they decided to get revenge on my behalf mum. Now Valerie and the girls that bullied never bullies anyone. Which is a good thing right?

"I should tell you about Harry and Hermione. Harry is like a creator, he likes ripping things apart and putting it back together only its better. He even combine some magical and muggle stuff to make it a lot more wicked. Like the television. The muggles' television had a big box behind it while Harry's with the use of magic is flat. His radios and music players are also clearer. I think he has many other more but he refused to tell us or show us what they are. Right now he's developing a mobile phone, it's a muggle invention that lets you talk to other people in far distances.

"Hermione is an alchemist. She first had a fascination on chemistry, till she found out that she's actually a witch then her fascination turned to alchemy. But she is a different alchemist, her goal is not to create the Philosopher's stone but discovering and studying the depths of alchemy and how many uses it creates. She even made a stone that converts normal ink into a magical ink. And she created a stone which converts smoke into liquids they called chemical batteries. I don't know what it is, they explained it to me but I kind of dozed out in the middle of their explanation. And me I found my fascination on enchanting. I want to help them you know, like how they help me." Luna said, she changed her position to hug her knees, she looked at the small bowl in her hands and saw that her pudding was now finished.

"You know mum, I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I had met Harry or Hermione first before they did. Maybe it would be me and Harry that would be a couple right now. Or it would be me or Hermione. I really wished that you're alive mum. Maybe you'll know what to do and how I'll deal with these feelings I'm feeling. Can you send me some signs to tell me what I should do?" Luna said and waited for a sign but received none.

"I guess not. I guess I should deal with it alone like I always have." Luna then stood up. Took the blanket and put it in her expanded pocket. "Oh I forgot these are also for you mum." Luna said and pulled something out of her other pocket. It was a dream catcher made out of roots in a glass frame. "This will keep your grave stone away from the slashkilters and nargles that made your tomb stone dirty. I guess I should go now mum. This was fun. I'll visit you next week. Bye mum. I love you and I miss you." Luna said longingly and with a single tear in both of her eyes. And then walked off towards the Rookery.
