All Mor could see was a big cloud of green smoke. As it started to vanish she could see Remus, Sirius, and James huddled together at the living room table playing wizards chess.

Sirius was laughing as Remus' queen destroyed James' king. Remus looked quite smug and James was looking around sulkingly. As James was looking around he spotted Mor in the fireplace.

"MOR!!!!!!!" James yelled as he jumped up and dragged her out of the fireplace into a big bear hug. "Thank god you are here. Your brother was just bullying me."

Mor laughed

"I was not bullying you James. You said you could beat me at wizards chess. I just proved you wrong," Remus said accusingly.

James dropped Mor from their hug and pointed at Remus, "That's not fair and you know it. You probably used some potion on me to make me lose."

"Not possible. And you would know that if you even cared to show up to potions class," Remus said bluntly.

James only huffed in response, accepting defeat.

Sirius walked over to Mor and gave her a hug before saying with a big smile, "You came just in time Mia just finished cooking the ham."

Mor stood there slighted confused not knowing who Mia was. Sirius and James seemed to not noticed her confusion and both quickly headed into the kitchen so they could eat.

Remus was walking up Mor when he said in a low voice, "Mia is what Sirius calls James' mom Euphemia. He has been living with them for a few years now and she has always been the closest thing to a mother to him."

Mor could only smile thinking about how Sirius was able to find a loving family after not having one. That is something she wished for herself, for Remus, and now for Regulus.

Both Mor and Remus walked into the kitchen after James and Sirius.

When Mor walked into the kitchen she could see the table filled with ham, stuffing, cranberry sauce, potatoes, string beans, and lastly pie. Mor was overwhelmed to say the least. She had never celebrated a holiday in such a big way even when she was living at home with her parents.

An older woman with gray hair turned around and spotted Mor from across the room.

She quickly made her way towards Mor with her arms outstretched. "You must be Mor! How lovely to meet you," Euphemia said as she grabbed her into a big hug. Mor now knew where James got it from.

She pulled back and looked Mor in the eyes as she said, "You look so much like Remus. Same mousy brown hair and green eyes."

"Mom," James said loudly in a hope to get her to stop coddling Mor.

"Oh. I'm sorry I never introduced myself. I am Euphemia but you can call me Mia and this is my husband Fleamont," she said as she pointed to the older man in an apron bringing over more food to the table.

"Hello dear it is lovely to meet you," Fleamont said with a smile.

"It's great to meet you as well," Mor said to both of James' parents.

Mia smiled and gestured to the table as she said, "let's all eat before it gets cold."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mor was stuffed by the time she ate her third slice of pie. The whole dinner Mia and Fleamont asked about her time and Hogwarts and how she was adjusting. Once James got bored of listening to her story he went into a rant about how he was going to lead the quidditch team to a championship this year. Mor didn't mind though she found the concept of quidditch quite fascinating.
