Dean Thomas never expected to be anything special. He never was. The oldest, a football fanatic, the only child from his mum's first relationship. But he was special, he was a wizard. When he arrived at Hogwarts, he immediately was attracted to a young boy prone to setting things on fire. Dean was entranced by the flames, and he wished to draw them. But soon, his drawings lean from the fire to the boy creating it.

16 and kicked out of his home, life doesn't look too good for Seamus Finnigan. Can an unexpected helping hand, an emotional roller coaster of a Christmas feast and confessions which are long since overdue turn it around for the better? As Seamus spends Christmas with Dean, he learns that family doesn't always mean being related by blood and home sometimes isn't a place, but a person that holds your heart instead.
