When Viola Lupin found out Harry Potter had bought all the sweets from the trolly, she automatically decided she didn't like him.
When Harry Potter heard Viola Lupin laugh at Draco Malfoy's joke, he au...

"Vi!" Rosaleé called out on the platform catching her attention. Viola spotted her parents and ran up to them wrapping her arms around them giving them tight hugs
"how are you both?" She smiled as she looked up expectantly at her parents
"We're good, missed you though" Remus smiled
Harry just stood their awkwardly behind Viola, watching the family interact.
"Harry!" Rosa smiled pulling him into a hug "how are you?"
"I'm good thank you Rosaleé" he replied as they pulled back from the hug
"Call me Rosa" Rosaleé added as Remus greeted Harry with a hug.
"You look well" Remus spoke as he picked up Violas luggage "I was certainly surprised when you accepted the invitation. I though Viola would of scared you off" he laughed
"I'm not a monster!" Viola exclaimed
"Well..." her mother joked causing Harry to smile in amusement "come on let's get going"
The four apparated away from the Platform landing at the Cottages front door.
Rosa unlocked the door and ushered the teenagers inside.
The Lupins house was cosy and warm. A gently fire was going causing a glow to fill the living room. A small Christmas tree stood in the corner of the room, decorated with little baubles Viola had made when she was young. An old cat laid soundly on the sofa upon a cushion, savouring the warmth.
"Feel free to make yourself at home Harry" Rosa said as she stroked the cat gently
"Not too much though" Viola added causing her mum to laugh
"Vi? Show Harry his room?"
"Do I have to?"
"Yes"
Viola beckoned Harry to follow as her trunk levitated infront of her up the stairs. She lead him down the hallway to a small room. It had a cosy bed near the window that had a view of the sea and it's own fireplace. Piles of homemade knitted blankets were folded at the bottom of the bed along with some homemade Hat, Scarves and Gloves.
"Ta da!" She said throwing the door open "Dad likes to make mum stuff" she said pointing to the knitted objects "there's too many of them so they're yours now, erm I'll leave you to get unpacked I guess. Mine and my parents rooms are down the hall, the bathrooms on the right" she gestured as she was about to leave "oh and by the way, prepare yourself. Mum makes us have a games night the first evening I come back, so be down in maybe... an hour?"
"Viola!" Harry said as she was about to leave "Er thanks"
"No worries. I know this is kind of weird for us but believe it or not I'm not completely selfish. Imagine what kind of person I'd be to deny someone of a nice Christmas. I'll try to be civil, but Harry please don't irritate me. There's only so much a girl can take"
"I'll try my best" Harry laughed looking around the room and flopping onto the comfy bed as soon as Viola left. It was the first time Viola had called Harry by his actual name and he was surprised by the way he liked the sound of it leaving her lips.
Harry sat on the sofa downstairs playing exploding snap with Rosa and Remus while Viola had fallen asleep on an armchair wrapped up in one of Remus' large jumpers.
The games had come to an end and Rosaleé had headed off into the kitchen to make the three of them some tea.
"Remus" Harry started quietly trying not to wake Viola "I was wondering if you could tell me a bit about my parents?
"Of course Harry" Remus smiled sadly looking into the fire "you should ask Sirius as well. There's many stories" he laughed "too many to remember. What would you like to know?"
"What were they like? What did they enjoy?"
"Well, James was one of the funniest people I knew. He never seemed to not have a smile upon his face. Well, that is until your mother rejected him. He was such a good friend to me. To everyone for that matter. James had a heart of gold. I don't think I've ever met anyone as obsessed with Quidditch as him. He used to stick his posters all over the dorm"
"You can say that again" Rosaleé laughed coming back from the kitchen and handing them the mugs "your father loved Quidditch. He used to drag us down to the pitch in the early mornings to watch him try his new tricks. He reminds me of Viola in that way. One time he made me get on the back of his broom with him. Needless to say it was the worst experience of my life. He found my terror hilarious" Rosa smiled at the memory "he and Sirius were the bane of my existence, but I loved them both so much" she said pulling a blanket over Viola and sitting down resting against Remus "somehow he was headboy, no idea how. The pranks that boy used to come up with make me wonder wether he had some sort of psychological problem" she laughed
"Merlin his pranks" Remus chuckled "not only was he the bane of Rosies existence he was the bane of your mothers existence. Your father was absolutely infatuated with Lily. He loved her very much. And let me tell you, he was persistent. He asked her out consistently from his second year to sixth"
"Why did he stop?" Harry asked
"I think he finally came to his senses. Realised that that he was never going to win your mother over by irritating her and started treating her normally. They got together in our seventh year as they work closely together being head boy and girl"
"I still miss your mother" Rosa said "she was the kindness most genuine girl I'd ever met. She was scary though. I would fear for my life if I ditched one of her study sessions" Rosaleé shivered at the thought "we all decided to spy on one of their dates once. That was the worst decision of my life. Marlene and I got an earful afterwards even though it was totally Sirius' fault we got caught"
"I wish I could of met them properly" Harry whispered
"We wished you could of met them as well" Remus said as the fire crackled
"I never properly thanked you for letting me stay here for a while" Harry said sincerely
"It's nothing Harry" Rosaleé smiled "if it was the other way around I know James and Lily would do the same. I promise Lily that I'd look after her, and I failed, but I promise to look after her son. I know they would do the same for Viola. Speaking of Viola. I know you two 'hate' each other but I know she doesn't really"
