Harry's sleek, midnight blue Linkin comes to a stop in front of the charming two-story detached house. Twinkling Christmas lights dance through the windows, illuminating the surroundings. Adorned on the front door is a beautiful wreath, a perfect blend of white and red.

Turning off the engine, Harry, Zayn, and Justin step out of the car, as they begin unloading, the front door swings open, revealing a woman with silver hair. Clad in black jeans, a dark red lace-up sweater, and brown mid-calf boots.

"Finally, Harold! You were supposed to be here hours ago," Harry's sister, Gemma, playfully chastises, stepping out into the night.

Harry, with a playful grin, responds, retrieving the remaining bags. "Apologies, Gem. I had things to do. Unlike certain someone." He teases, casting a knowing glance at Gemma.

Gemma's laughter dances through the air, her eyes twinkling mischievously. "Oh, you'll regret that comment." She retorts, making her way to Zayn. "It's beyond me how we're just meeting these two now."

"You sound just like Mum," Harry interjects, a tinge of exasperation in his voice.

Anne, their mother, wearing a warm smile, appears at the front door and says, "And rightly so. I've been wondering the same thing."

"Mum!" Harry calls out, enveloping her in a heartfelt hug as soon as she approaches.

"I'm so glad you made it. How was the drive?" She asks, eyes twinkling with happiness.

"It was a bit long, but we're here," Harry replies, releasing his mother from the embrace. "Traffic was heavy."

Gemma, Zayn, and Justin wasted no time in introducing themselves while unloading the rest of the bags from the car. Instantly hitting it off, Gemma's curiosity sparked as she complimented Zayn's jacket and asked him where he got it.

With all of the bags unpacked, the group entered the house. As Zayn and Justin stepped inside, they were greeted by the inviting scents of peppermint, cinnamon, and vanilla. The home was elegantly decorated in a mid-century modern style, with light, cozy colors throughout. Harry took the chance to formally introduce Justin and Zayn to his parents.

"It's nice to finally meet you two," Anne says, embracing the trio. "We're happy you were able to join us."

"Thank you so much for having us." Justin and Zayn reply in unison, smiling at her warmly.

They are then introduced to Harry's dad, a friendly tall man with features much like his son. He shakes each of their hands, a warm smile gracing his lips.

"I'll get started on dinner while you guys settle in." Anne says.

"Sounds good, we'll be down in a bit," Harry responds, leading Zayn and Justin upstairs to his bedroom.

Upon entering Harry's bedroom, Zayn and Justin are immediately struck by its sheer beauty. The walls, painted in a soothing sage green hue, are adorned with pictures of Harry over the years. The two windows, dressed with dark green curtains, infuse the room with a touch of elegance and tranquility. Nestled in the corner by the window, a charming green chair.

The expansive bed, with its comfortable white and sage color bedding, directly opposite the bed, a vanity adorned with an assortment of Harry's belongings. Enhancing the vanity mirror is a delicate garland, lending a festive and whimsical atmosphere. And there, on the side of the bed, stands a Christmas tree that simply cannot be overlooked.

"I assume the tree and lights aren't typically part of the room's decor," Zayn remarks, observing the festive additions.

"You're absolutely right." Harry says walking further inside the room.
