A/N: Yes, I know Christmas was months ago, and I wrote this back in December, but forgot to
post it so here it is,
Summary: Everyone has gone home for Christmas except one 15 year old boy, by the name of
Harry Potter. Written to the song 'Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)' by Mariah Carey.
(disclaimer- I own nothing, but the idea).
MISS YOU MOST (AT CHRISTMAS TIME)
*********************************************************************************
The fire is burning
The room's all aglow
Outside the December wind blows
Away in the distance carolers sing in the snow
**********************************************************************
Snow swirled outside, inside the Gryffindor common room a fire crackled merrily, and
somewhere off in the distance some of the teachers were singing Christmas carols. Unfortunately
all this cheerfulness didn't help Harry Potter's Christmas spirit. He was the only Hogwarts student
that hadn't gone home for Christmas.
**********************************************************************
Everybody is laughing
The whole world is celebrating
And everyone's so happy
Except for me tonight
**********************************************************************
Harry could just picture all the Weasleys sitting around their scrubbed wooden table with Fred
and George cracking jokes every two seconds, the room would be filled with laughter.
As for Hermione and her family, they would probably be sitting down to a nice meal and
Hermione would be telling her parents all about Hogwarts.
Those pictures began to fade and were replaced by a pang of sadness and longing, longing to be
with the people he loved.
**********************************************************************
Because I miss you
Most at Christmas time
And I can't get you
Get you off my mind
**********************************************************************
Harry shook his head, this same feeling came over him at Christmas time, and he could never get
rid of it.
**********************************************************************
Every other season comes along
And I'm all right
But then I miss you most at
Christmas time
**********************************************************************
"I'm a real Grinch aren't I?" Harry asked his refection in a Christmas ball, "I don't mean to
honestly, but it's just t-t-that no one really knows how I feel, how much I miss them at Christmas
time."
**********************************************************************
I gaze out the window
This cold winter's night
At all the twinkling lights
Alone in the darkness
Remembering when you were mine
**********************************************************************
Harry looked out the window stared out the window, watching the snow fall. The crescent moon
cast an eerie glow on the icy grounds.
Suddenly the fire went out, Harry whirled around, and now the only source light was the moon.
Harry glance back out the window and what he saw made him jump.
Two people, a boy and a girl, were walking hand in hand across the Quidditch pitch, a moment
later they were gone.
**********************************************************************
Everybody's smiling
The whole world is rejoicing
And everyone's embracing
Except for you and I
**********************************************************************
As quickly as it went out, the fire lit itself again! And lying in the chair where Harry had been
sitting was his photo album, open.
Harry picked it up and saw what page it was turned to, a page that had a picture of his parents
embracing on an icy Quidditch pitch.
A tear fell onto the picture.
**********************************************************************
Baby I miss you
Most at Christmas time
And I can' t get you
Get you off my mind
Every other season comes along
And I'm all right
But then I miss you most at
Christmas time
**********************************************************************
Harry let himself cry, he had all the reason in the world too. A few minutes later he was all cried
out, and he started to ask himself, "Why do I miss them most at Christmas time, and not as much
any other time?"
**********************************************************************
In the spring time those memories start to fade
With the April rain
Through the summer days
**********************************************************************
Last summer he saw his parents come out of Voldemort's wand, they came to help him.
**********************************************************************
Till the Autumn 's leaves are gone
I'll get by without you
**********************************************************************
That fall he was appointed Quidditch captain, just like his dad.
He was proud of himself and had lead Gryffindor to victory. " I hope my dad is proud of me too,"
Harry said out loud.
**********************************************************************
Then the snow begins to fall
**********************************************************************
"He is," said a soft voice next to Harry's ear, " And so am I."
Harry spun around to see a tall, dark, handsome man by the name of Sirius Black standing
behind him, "Snuffles!"
" I prefer Sirius, but it doesn't matter, Merry Christmas!" Sirius smiled.
" You too," Harry returned, " but one tiny question... 'What are you doing here?' "
" Felt like spending Christmas with you, I didn't want you to end up spending it in a morgue."
Sirius said surveying the deserted common room. Upon seeing the blotchy red marks under
Harry's eyes, Sirius instantly understood, "I miss them too, you know."
**********************************************************************
And then I miss you
Most at Christmas time
And I can't get you
Get you off my mind
**********************************************************************
"I know, and I'm really glad you're here, but I can't help missing them, and..."
Sirius held up a hand to stop Harry before he started to babble senselessly, "I know and I
understand, don't worry they'll always love and care about you, and so will I."
**********************************************************************
Every season comes along
And I'm all right ...
But then I miss you most at
Christmas time
**********************************************************************
"Sirius?" Harry asked tentatively.
"Yes?"
"Thank you."
"For what?" Sirius smiled.
"For being my godfather, that's all" Harry said quietly.
Sirius embraced Harry tightly, "You're welcome, my beloved godson."
**********************************************************************
Up high in the Heavens, two angels stood watching the sight below.
"Merry Christmas guys!" shouted the tall male angel with unruley hair and glasses.
" And I'm sure they heard you, consitering you nearly broke my eardum," joked the pretty women
angel, " Merry Christmas Harry, and you too Sirius!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm done!!!!!!!!!! Ahh... wasn't that tearful or at least until Sirius showed up and lightened the
mood a little. Chocolate Frogs to those who guess who the angels are! (I'll be buying a lot of
Chocolate Frogs) I really want to know what you think of this, so please, please, please
