"When can I meet them?" Harry asked. Until now he'd had no grandparents and only the Dursley's for family.
"We are going to do the blood adoption potion tomorrow and you probably will not feel up to meeting them then so we can do it on Christmas Eve or Christmas day."
"Okay," Harry agreed.
Harry went to bed that night earlier than normal. He wondered what he'd look like after the blood adoption tomorrow. He'd seen the first year pictures of his dad and mum taken by his Evans grandparents and wondered if he'd look like his dad did then. He hoped he could gain his dad's height eventually. Right now, he was the shortest of his year mates and he hated it.
James was yelling at the elves. He wanted Potter Manor spotless as Albus, Dedalus Diggle, and Elphias Doge were coming over for Christmas dinner. Sirius sat lounging on a couch in the living room, ignoring James' screaming and reading a copy of 'Quidditch Illustrated'.
James came in a sat down in a squashy red armchair and gave a disgusted huff. "Those elves are so bloody lazy! I ought to give them all clothes and get some new ones. I want this place to be spotless. Is that too much to ask?"
"Where are Harry and Lily spending Christmas?"
"I suppose at Hogwarts with Snivellus," James replied with a shrug.
"Once you're awarded custody of Harry, he'll be spending every Christmas here."
"Yeah, and his bloody mother can spend it with Snivellus at that dump he calls a home in Manchester."
"What did you get Harry for Christmas?"
"A complete set of Quidditch equipment of course. What did you get him?"
"Well, I was going to get him some books on defense tactics, but Remus beat me to it so I decided to get him a joke kit from Zonko's. It's got samples of all of their best stuff."
"He probably won't get to use any of it. Snivellus will toss it the minute Harry unwraps it."
"Yeah, I hadn't thought of that," Sirius admitted. "Snivellus always hated Zonko's; he never had any sense of humor."
"Harry …Harry, it is time to wake up," Severus called.
"It amazing the how much Harry looks like you now, Sev," Lily said. "He reminds me of you when you were eleven."
"But I am glad he still has your eyes," Severus replied.
Harry opened his eyes and smiled when he saw his dad and mum standing beside his bed. "Did it work?"
"You doubt my potion making abilities?" Severus teased. "Of course it worked."
"Wicked! I want to see what I look like," Harry said jumping out of bed and almost falling but for Severus and Lily both grabbing an arm he would have. "Whoa!"
"You are going to have to give yourself some time to get used to the changes. Your coordination going to be off a bit until you adjust. You have gained a couple of inches in height and your feet have lengthened by a couple of inches so it does affect your balance," Severus explained.
"Can you help me into the bathroom so I can see what I look like now?" Harry entreated.
"Of course, Harry," Lily replied. She took one of Harry's arms while Severus took the other and they escorted him into the bathroom so he could view himself in the full length mirror on the back of the door. He was definitely taller and his face was longer and thinner while his cheekbones were a bit more prominent than they had been previously, but he still had his mother's vivid green eyes and her nose. It was his hair that gave him the biggest shock. It no longer stuck out all over the place, but was now longer and straighter, laying flat. It was still a dark brown, but he could see a hint of red when the light hit it. It looked as if with the Potter genes removed, more of his mum's came to the surface.
"What do you think?" Severus asked.
"I like it!" Harry exclaimed. "It looks like I got the best of both of you."
"I want you to stay in bed the rest of the day and I will have Tita bring you up dinner," Severus said.
"What time is it?"
"It's three in the afternoon so you did sleep for quite awhile," Lily replied. "And I agree with Sev. You should stay in bed until tomorrow."
"Well, I do still have reading assignment so I can do them," Harry decided. They got the textbooks he needed and set them on the bedside table.
The next morning was Christmas Eve and it was snowing again. Harry talked his mum and dad into going outside for a snowball fight. It was Harry and Lily against Severus. Although they put up a good fight, Severus still won.
Before he went to bed on Christmas Eve night, Harry was allowed to open one gift. He chose a big box and looked at the card on it. "It's from Sirius. I wonder what he bought me."
"There's only one way to find out," Lily said.
Harry tore off the wrapping paper and saw it was from a place called Zonko's. The box read it was their best joke sampler. He opened it to find samples of dung bombs, stink pellets, hiccup sweets, a fanged Frisbee and other stuff that Zonko's specialized in. The note inside from Sirius suggested that Harry place the dung bombs under the Slytherin table. 'Your dad and me did that once with great success! The Snakes turned as green as the trim on their robes and stampeded out of the hall, trampling each other on the way out!'
"Because we were all deathly ill from the smell," Severus snapped, his eyes flashing at the memory. Of course the headmaster had done nothing except laugh because he thought it was another delightful prank by the Marauders.
