Leo's Pov, 

"Leave me alone!" I yell as there is a knock on my bedroom door, It's Christmas and I have no and I truly mean no desire to celebrate it......... how can one live with this truth? I've been ignoring them all, I don't know what to say to Harry and I don't even want him to look upon me it's my father's fold his parents are dead. 

"Oke I've been letting you have your moment for long enough it's Christmas." Mother says as she walks in and I pull the blanket over my face or try to since Dawn is laying on it. "Well have fun." I mumble as I turn on my side and show her my back. 

"What's going on?" 

"I don't want to talk about it, clearly like you did about things." I mumble with a bite to it before she moves to stand in front of me with a raised brow. "If your not telling me what's wrong I can not help you Leo." 

"Maybe I don't want your help." I mumble as I turn around again to show here once again my back. "Oke come on I'm your mother I know when something is wrong, I've let you have a few days to cool off from whatever's going on now talk." 

"If he hadn't betrayed them, you maybe you wouldn't have had to take this burden upon you, if he kept his mouth shut to Voldemort they all still would have been alive." I mumble before I'm pulled back by my shoulder as mother looks upon me with a frown and surprise on her face. 

"You are not a burden to me Leonidas, yes something you give me headaches and almost a ticket to a early grave but that doesn't mean I see you as a burden." She starts as she takes a seat on the bed and runs her fingers through my hair, I hate it when she does that because I can't move away! Like it's amazing. .

"How you came to me I never would have wished that upon any child but that doesn't mean I do not love you.  Your my son, what he did..... I don't know why, and nothing can ever change the past." She says and I release a sigh. "Nothing can change the past, but we change the future..... I've heard you asked Remus to help you with the Patronus charm?" She says and I give her a small nod. 

"With the dementor attack I-I don't know, the founders think he would be able to give me a more practical way of helping and he's also going to be teaching it to Harry.... Can you do it?" I ask her as I sit up and she takes her wand out. 

"Expecto patronus." She calmy says and soon a tabby cat comes from her wand making me move on my knees as I look at it with awe. "So it's like your Animagus form? Does it always become someone's Animagus form?" I ask her in awe! 

"There aren't many Animagus's in the world, so I do not know. A Patronus is said to reflect a person.... no person or patronus is the same as some may look alike but in their core, they are different." She says as the cat walks around the bed and even Dawn looks at it in awe! 

"Now come on, before your visitors think your out in the forest again." She says as she pats my shoulder while getting up and the cat disappears. "Visitors?" I ask her with a frown as I get out of bed and walk after her in my pajama pants only to soon see Grandfather, Lupin, Ron, Hermione and Harry there. 

"This must be the weirdest Christmas match up I've ever seen." I say with a tilt of my head. "Oi mate I'm surprised you found the way out of your bed!" Ron says and I roll my eyes at the boy. As there is a Christmas tree with presents underneath it. 

"Wait.... wait I also have presents!" I say as I walk back into my room and grab the boxes and packages quickly as Dawn and Bandit run after me. Walking back into the main room I take the first package and had it to Ron. 

"F-for me?" 

"Yes for you." I say with as he starts to rip the paper off and soon the Stink Pellets, Dungbombs and sweets come into view as Ron gulps down as he doesn't look at the teachers. "Ow don't worry one year grandfather gave me also Dungbombs." I say with a wave before grabbing the gift for Grandfather and holding it out towards him. 

"I do not know what you speak of Leonidas." The man says as he begins to open the wrapped gift and looks at the pitch black stone, it was some kind of metal? Gem? I don't know but it looked beautiful. "A rock?" Ron says and I shake my head as I grab my wand. 

"Well yes but no Rowena has been helping me with this spell. Rugitus leonis." I say and soon the metal turns into a black lion with wings as it flies around a bit before loudly roaring making a smile form on Grandfather's face. "It's beautiful and very advanced magic thank you Leo." He says and I nod my head before taking the present for Lupin..... trying to be nice you know. 

"Y-you didn't have to get me anything Le-" 

"I uhm wanted too." I say as I hand him the package that he slowly starts to open it's this new coat since his old one was well needed for replacement, with all the wholes and dirt on  it. "T-thank you." He says with wide eyes as he looks the piece of clothing over. 

"Alright well uhm this is a gift from me an mother to be honest." I say with nervously as I take the wrapped photo frame out and hand it towards Harry who looks at me with a small frown before opening it as I move to stand next to him. As he opens it the two women come into view as they hold a baby Harry. 

"So that's my you know real mother with me, and that's your mother with well  you. I uhm hope you li-" I start before it turns into a groan as he pulls me into a bone crushing hug. "I love it thank you." Harry says as I hug him back. "Oke we need to stop before we look sappy." I say as we pull apart and he releases a laugh before his eyes move back towards the picture....... there are a few pics of me as a baby and mother got them from the house where I was you know born and stuff..... the one I gave Harry is a copy so yeah looks like he likes it. 

"Hermione Jean Granger." I say as I take the book out and hold it out to the girl who's cheeks turn a darker shade as she carefully takes the black wrapping paper off of it. "T-this is a first editin of Fantastic Beasts and where to find Them!" She says with wide eyes and I nod my head as I move next to her. 

"Open it." I say and she opens the book before I think her eyes pop out. "For Hermione Granger, I hope you find as much joy out of this book as I had gathering the information to make it. Merry Christmas Newt Scamander!" She almost yells before her eyes snap into my direction. 

"H-how did you get this!" 

"That would take all the fun off of it would it not?" I say with a grin before grabbing the last present and handing it towards mother who raises her brow as she opens the small boy before she pulls the necklace with the lion pendant out.  

"Oke so since you always worry look, ostende cor suum" I cast and the eyes of the lion turn golden as she looks at it

"Oke so since you always worry look, ostende cor suum" I cast and the eyes of the lion turn golden as she looks at it. "If you cast the spell and they turn golden then wherever I am...... or at what time it is I'm fine, if they turn green than well you know. Spelled it myself." I say proudly as she looks also proudly at me. 

"And here I thought you lost your Christmas spirt." Mother says and I wave her off as I roll my eyes. "I didn't lose my spirit ow wait Bandit come here buddy." I say as the niffler runs over to me and holds his hands out as I grab 3 galleons and lean down also with the small hat in my hand as he sticks his hands out. 

"Oke your Christmas heat got it made just for you." I say as I put the black and white t on his head before handing him the galleons as he hugs them tightly before hugging my leg. "Ow and Dawn for you." I say as I wave my wand and the large raw steak appears in front of the wolf that happily takes it. 

"Well Merry Christmas!"
