Gifts of Friendship and Family

"I was also not sure what to get to you," Harry admitted. "I mean I thought make up but you don't need that, I came up with a few other things but they weren't good so I got you two presents. The first being this," Harry said as he handed her a small gift wrapped present, Tonks opened it to reveal a green book. "that's a book from my vault, apparently one of my ancestors was a metamorphamaugus and he wrote a lot about it, I figured you might like it. There are also a couple of spells in that could be helpful as an auror." Harry explained.

"Ah, thanks Harry." Tonks replied as she gladly took the book from him.

"You are welcome." Harry said as he pulled out a small box and handed it to her. "This is your second present." Harry told her as she took it from him, Tonks opened the box and her eyes widened as she saw what it was. A pair of bright emerald earrings.

"You got me earrings?" Tonks asked as she held them up only to be surprised when the earrings changed into a grey colour before shifting into a yellow then red colour. "Whoa!" Tonks gasped.

"They are colour changing earrings." Harry explained. "They shift into any colour the user wishes. If you don't like them then I can...

"No I love them," Tonks said quickly as she pulled the earrings out of his reach. "no take backs. She said with a mock glare.

"Fine." Harry snorted in amusement. "Just glad you like them. I believe it's Fleur's turn now."

"Ah, well this is from all of the Tonks family." Ted said as he handed her a box of chocolates. "English, naturally." He added, causing her to Laugh.

"There sure is a lot of chocolate, can magical people get diabetes?" Harry wondered out loud.

"They have a potion to fix it." Ted replied before his face shifted into a frown. "Shame it doesn't work on muggles though, my grandfather had diabetes when he was alive."

"That killed him?"

"Oh no he got drunk and walked into the middle of a road."

"Um...at least it wasn't diabetes." Harry said, trying to shift a positive spin on it.

"Ok, enough about that. My turn." Sirius grinned as he handed Fleur a small box, Fleur opened it to find a bottle of perfume. "I hope you like it, it's one of the best available. Guaranteed to help attract any man you might have your eye on, not that you'd need it." Sirius smiled.

"Thank you Mr Black." Fleur smiled as she took it.

"Please, it's Christmas, call me Sirius."

"Sirius." Fleur amended before she turned to Harry. "Well Arry, where is my present?" She asked, raising an eyebrow, her voice suggesting that there would be consequences if there was not a present.

"Would you believe me if I said I had just brought you chocolate?" Harry asked.

"No."

"Good because I haven't," Harry said as he handed Fleur two gift wrapped presents. Fleur opened the first one to find a red book. "that is apparently a very good book for curse breakers, I hope you like it, it's even got the author's autograph." Harry added the last part proudly.

"Harry! I can't believe you got me this! This must have been expensive!" Fleur gaped as she took the book from him, she recognised it, the author was a charms master and one of the best curse breakers in the world. He was in fact one of Fleur's idols and reasons behind loving charms, she could hardly believe that she was holding this book.

"I got it cheaper than normal," Harry admitted. "I just had to autograph a picture for his granddaughter. Oh, open your other present." Harry said, Fleur barely managed to put the book away long to open the smaller present, in it she found a small but expensive looking diamond wrist bracelet. "Do you like it?" Harry asked hopefully.

"Arry I love it!" Fleur said as she took the bracelet and put it on.

"Oh good, I'm glad because I am really not experienced with giving presents." Harry admitted. 'or receiving them.' He mentally added to himself. "So I guess it is my turn now."

"Yep, but before we start you got a present sent to you from a 'Daphne and Tracy' plus one from a 'Luna' and another from 'Astoria'. " Sirius said as he pushed a small groups of presents to Harry.

"Who are they?" Ted asked, Fleur and Tonks seemed to be paying close attention to his answer.

"Ah well Tracy Davis and Daphne Greengrass are my new friends," Harry smiled proudly. "I decided to make new friends, it was surprisingly easy actually. In fact if I knew it was that easy then I would have done it ages ago." He added as he opened their presents. "Ah candy and spell books, nice." He smiled. "As for Luna, she is a year younger than me and I helped her out with some bullies. Astoria's my favourite," Harry admitted. "don't tell the others." Harry added in a mock whisper. "She's a first year and Daphne's little sister." Harry added, "I think she looks up to me."

"And these friends, are they just...friends?" Andromeda asked, hoping for her daughters sake that they were. Harry was probably the best potential boyfriend Tonks had ever had, she was really hoping that he and Tonks got together. She could not handle any more idiots and Merlin forbid Tonks going back to considering Remus Lupin.

"Yes, they are." Harry nodded. "Just normal and actual friends." Harry added before he began opening his presents. "Okay I got a lifetime subscription to the Quibbler from Luna plus a corkscrew neckless and from Astoria I got some chocolates, considering that she is a first year that's pretty nice. Okay what did you guys get me?" Harry asked around the room.

"Well first of all I've got you a friends and family discount in case you ever need me as your lawyer again," Ted smiled. "Andi and I also heard that you're a major quidditch fanatic, so we've got you a broom kit." Ted said as Andromeda levitated their present over to Harry.

"Thank you." Harry smiled happily, he was already enjoying this Christmas much better than the other ones. Before he would simply get one random thing like a sock or fifty pence coin from the Dursley's, his first Christmas at Hogwarts was nice but this one was with real family and friends, he was also glad that this wasn't the fifth year in a row where Ron would get him something Chudley Cannon related which Harry would have always given to Ron later on in the year because he didn't like the Canons and was too nice to throw it away, Ron thought he didn't notice that but he did.

"Oh me next," Sirius said quickly. "here is my present!" Sirius said as he handed Harry a broom shaped present.
