December 24th, 1995

It was Christmas Eve night and the Weasley family, Harry, Hermione, Sirius, and Aquila were sitting in the living room talking about their first years at Hogwarts. Smiled and laughs filled the room with joy and love.

"Oh! And remember Fred when we gave Ron that spell to try to turn his imposter of a rat yellow?", George asked making Fred laugh, but then the room came to an uncomfortable quiet when they remembered Scabbers was actually Peter Pettigrew, a death eater. George looked down feeling bad for his comment, but Aquila gave him a reassuring smile and mouthed to him not to worry about it. Aquila cleared her throat to delete the silence.

"So Mrs. Weasley what's for dinner, I would love to help.", Aquila asked, making a smile form on Mrs. Weasley's face and making her stand up.

"Tonight we will be eating roast turkey which is already done, and potatoes with peas. There really isn't much to help with since most of it is done, but could you kids please set the table?", Mrs. Weasley asked kindly. Aquila nodded her head and heading toward the kitchen to get the things for the table. As she grabbed the silverware and plates, she felt a presence behind her.

"Aquila, we need to talk.", said a deep voice Aquila was intimidated by. She turned around and saw a man with long curly black hair, with old features. It was Sirius Black, the man himself.

"Yes Sir.", Aquila responded not knowing what to expect.

"I am aware of who your parents are, and the Phoenix's are not the best people in the game. You know they are trying to put Harry in trouble, but I can tell you don't want a part in that.", Sirius explained making the girl's heartbeat fast.

"Sir, you have to know I'm not for The Dark Lords doing, and I'm trying my best to stay away from it. And it is mostly just my mom, my father is less for it.", Aquila rushed through her explanation. She genuinely thought Voldemort was a horrible being, hell, she hardly thought he was a being at all. Sirius told her he understood but urged her to stay away from Voldemort's ideas as possible. He knew it was going to be hard, considering her parents are supporters of Voldemort. Aquila always wondered if they had the black ink on their forearm, but she was always too scared to know the truth, because if they did... she would have to meet a fate she did not want. After Aquila recollected her thoughts, she continued to set the table, and Fred soon after accompanied her.

"Thank you for being so nice to my mom, she seems to really like you.", Fred said as he set the plates on the table. Aquila looked at him and a small smile appeared on her face.

"It's no problem, your mother is wonderful really. Your lucky to have her.", Aquila said sweetly. Seconds after, Mrs. Weasley arrived carrying the beautifully cooked Turkey on a plate, and carefully set it on the center of the table. Aquila gasped.

"Mrs. Weasley that looks amazing!", Aquila complimented making Mrs.Weasley give her a bright smile.

"Thank you, dear!". The kind lady responded as Ginny walked in with the peas and mashed potatoes. The youngest redhead laid the plates on the table and took a seat on the table. Aquila followed her example, and Fred did so after. Soon after almost everyone arrived at the table. Molly walked towards a shelf next to the table and took out a pair of presents.

"It's time for presents!", Mrs. Weasley explained earning smiles from everyone. Aquila started to panic. She hadn't brought anything for them, not even Fred. She hadn't had enough time. Well, Mrs. Weasley probably didn't have anything for her either, so there was no need for her to panic. At least that's what Aquila thought. Then, Aquila felt footsteps behind her, and they began to head next to her.

"Aquila dear, this one is for you. You've been so helpful and such a joy to have around, I thought I should have made you something.", Mrs. Weasley said as she placed a green colored box in front of Aquila. Aquila stood up and hugged Mrs. Weasley tightly with a big smile on her face.

"Thank you so much, Mrs. Weasley, but I haven't got anything for you.", Aquila said with a feeling of guilt plastered on her face. Molly chuckled and separated from the hug.

"You being here is gift enough.", Mrs. Weasley said. Aquila smiled at her and nodded. Aquila sat back down on the chair and opened the green box with anticipation. Once she opened the box, there laid a black sweater with the letter "A" in the middle. Aquila smiled wildly and mouthed "Thank you" to Mrs. Weasley.

"And please dear, call me Molly.", Mrs. Weasley said. Aquila nodded and chuckled. After that, Mrs. Weasley gave everyone their presents. Fred and George both got scarves but switched after they opened the box. Everyone else also got clothes made by the kind woman herself. Then, Aquila heard a noise from behind her and saw the dark-haired boy standing right at the door and walking towards Mrs. Weasley.

"Harry! Come here, I've got your present.", Mrs. Weasley called, making Harry walk towards her with a shy smile on his face. Mrs. Weasley hugged Harry and sent him to sit down next to Hermione. Then, the kind voice of Mr. Weasley spoke. 

"Without Harry, I wouldn't be standing here today. To Harry!", Arthur made a toast to Harry as everyone chanted "to Harry". Aquila didn't understand what was going on, so she was going to ask Fred after dinner. Then Sirius black said the same thing while winking at Harry, and then giving Aquila a serious look.
