"I wish I could come with you guys," Aidan complained for the millionth time as the train came to a halt at the platform. "Why do I have to be a Muggleborn?!"

Kian gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "I mean, are you guys 100% sure Hez's parents aren't going to like murder me over break?"

"My family is one of the least blood supremacist pureblood families, so you'll be fine, Ki," Hezekiah reassured. "Plus wouldn't you rather spend your birthday with your friends."

Regulus was beyond happy. He didn't have to go home for Christmas because him and Kian were staying at the Fawleys instead.

The Fawleys were somewhat easy to convince to let Kian stay over at their house. Regulus's parents on the other hand, were not so easy to convince.

Regulus had confronted them about it at the Quidditch match last week. They were fine with it until the Kian part. He tried to persuade them with Kian being top of all their classes just behind Regulus. They had requested to speak with Kian who reluctantly and very nervously walked over to talk with them. In the end, they had reluctantly agreed.

The four boys exited their compartment and said their goodbyes to Aidan before walking over to the Fawleys.

Hez's mother quickly outstretched her hand to Regulus with a small smile on her face. She looked exactly like Hez just the female version. They had the same smile and facial structure. His whole family also shared his brown eyes, curly hair, and tan skin.

"You must be Regulus Black, I could recognize a Black anywhere. I'm Elizabeth Fawley and this is my husband Atlas Fawley," she introduced gesturing to her husband.

Regulus shook hands with the man. They both shook hands with Kian before Elizabeth pulled her son into a tight hug. Atlas just gave his son a tense pat on the shoulder.

They apparated back to the Fawleys Manor. Kian looked sick after it, clearly never having apparated before. Hez elbowed Kian playfully in the ribs in a teasing gesture.

The Fawley Manor was a huge brick house in the middle of nowhere. It had woods on both sides. It looked awfully cozy compared to Grimmuald Place, the Malfoy Manor, or the Lestrange Manor.

When Atlas and Elizabeth opened the door, Hez was tackled into a hug by his younger sister Mirabelle. He picked her up and spun her around, a smile instantly appearing on his face.

"Well, how about you show the boys to your room, Hez," Elizabeth offered.

"Happy Birthday!" Him and Reg yelled as they tackled Kian into a hug as he woke up.

Kian let out a yawn. "Wow not a 'Merry Christmas!' either?" Kian teased.

He just shrugged, "Eh, your birthday is more important. You are officially a teenager now!"

Kian nodded before burying his head in his pillow. "Uh huh, and I'll be excited about that when it is at least 8 am. Wake me up later."
