Krestena's POV
It's been five days since Hermione and I arrived at Grimmauld place. We went with the Weasleys and a few order members a couple of days ago to see Mr Weasley. He is healing well. It's Christmas day. Instead of going with the others to see Mr Weasley, I've decided to spend the day with my dad.
We are both in our Weasley jumpers. Which are both maroon. His has a yellow S and mine has a cream K. Nari even has her own knitted dog coat. Which is red and gold. Right now we're singing along to muggle Christmas carols while dancing in the drawing room. We land on the couch laughing. I hug him burying my head into his chest.
"I love you dad" I tell him.
"I love you Krestena" he tells me.
"I wish mum was here" I tell him.
"So do I, we had big plans for your second Christmas. We were going to go to New York" he tells me. "I'm just glad that rat wasn't there for yours and Harry's first Christmas" he states.
"No rat talk" I tell him. "Can you tell me more about mum?" I ask him curious.
"She was amazing. She used be act so mature, always focusing on classes. Never having fun" he tells me with a smile. "I made my mission to make her loosen up and have fun. When I got her to laugh for the first time. I knew she was the one for me" he states. "She reined me in and I made her more care free. We were perfect for each other" he says.
"I don't remember much about her. I know she loved us both though" I tell him.
"Speaking of your mother, here is your gift" he says handing me a small box. I open it to see a charm bracelet with three charms on it. "It was your mothers, we were going to add to it as you grew up" he tells me.
"It's beautiful" I tell him and he puts it on for me. "Thank you dad, here's my gift to you" I state handing it to him. He smiles and opens it to see a Gryffindor dairy.
"Thanks" he says confused and I laugh.
"It's a two way dairy, so that we can write to each other without owls. If anyone tries to look at mine they'll find it blank. If they use magic to try see what is inside, it'll show class notes" I tell him.
"Thank you" he says giving me a hug and Nari whines wanting attention. We both chuckle. "We didn't forget you" dad tells her. He hands her a present and she rips it open to reveal a Gryffindor collar. I place her new dog tags on it. Before putting it on her.
"There you now have an official collar" I say and she yips happily chasing her tail. Dad and I laugh at her. "Was mum a dog?" I ask him curious.
"She was, she looked just like you as Storm. I called her Misty" he tells me. "Her eyes were a lighter grey, like mist on a winter morning" he states. "I have on last gift for you" he adds. He leads me to my room. I notice a new portrait and frown. "Wait here" he tells me and goes over to the covered portrait. He uncovers it and I gasp covering my mouth trying not to cry.

"It's from Remus and I" Dad tells me.
"Merry Christmas Krestena" mum's portrait says with a smile.
"Mum" I say.
"Now no tears" she tells me. "It's Christmas" she states.
"Thank you dad" I tell him.
"It's for me as much as you" he states. "I miss you" he tells mum.
"We'll all be together again one day" mum tells us. "Now tell me everything I've missed" she tells us. So that's exactly what we did. Sure it's not really mum, it has her imprint on it and has her personality. "I'm so sorry you both had to go through all of that" she states.
"It wasn't your fault mum" I tell her.
"Well I'm here now, so if you both ever need to talk to me. I'll be here and I will watch over you both" she tells us. "Don't worry my darling, I shall watch over your father" she tells me.
"Thanks mum" I say. We hear the door open downstairs.
"The others are back" Dad states. "I'll see you soon my love" he tells me.
"Don't be a stranger and bring Remus" she tells us. We agree and leave my room. We go downstairs into the kitchen. Where we have a Christmas lunch with everyone. Harry and the others tell me about Lockhart and Neville's parents. Poor Neville, but at least they're alive and recognize him.
