Since the deaths of Euphemia and Fleamont Potter, Elladora and James had decided that Godric's Hollow would be the place of which they would hide.

In the old Potter cottage.

It was late October when they moved in.

Which made Elladora two months pregnant.

And she still hadn't been able to tell James.

Why?

He was still grieving over his parents, and since the move into a home full of memories of the two - he had been worse.

But he was trying his hardest.

And Elladora appreciated it.

But she also knew that she couldn't add the stress of pregnancy on him while he was grieving.

He deserved his time to grieve.

As their secret keeper, they chose Sirius. Sirius would never betray the Potter's, not that they believed any of the other's would, but Sirius was always on another level to James.

Elladora had put Peter forward seeing as he would be less obvious than Sirius, and she loved the boy with all her heart, but James had insisted. As had Sirius.

While James thought of the others as brothers too, Sirius held a special place in his heart. Sirius would always be his brother, blood or not.

Of course, they had allowed Peter, Lily, Marlene, Mary, Alice and Remus to know the location, but seeing as they weren't the keeper - they weren't allowed to share the information.

So, most of the time there was people over. Whether it was Sirius, Remus and the twins staying over - or it was the three boys spending time with James while Elladora fussed the children.

Either way, them being in hiding didn't really make much difference.

And by the time they were hosting Christmas lunch, James seemed much much better.

And Elladora was pushing on four months pregnant and her belly was beginning to show.

And since James was feeling better about his parents, Elladora decided that she would tell him soon.

Elladora hadn't allowed herself to grieve, saying that she needed to be there for James.

When Christmas Day came, there was a crowd of people in the Potter Cottage in Godric's Hollow.

Of course, there was the usual group. But there was the Macmillan's, the Malfoy's (Ophelia, Isaac and Dorian) and the now 14 year old Athena Knight.

Who seemed to be stuck to Atticus like glue.

Which made Elladora smirk massively.
