18. Christmas, Magnus

Christmas day had finally arrived and Harrison for once was happy, he was with his father and he had Otiz with him, which at that moment he was on Harrison's chest licking his face to wake him up, thank Merlin he wasn't... damn he was jumping on him.

"Otiz!! Get off you goof!" said Harrison to the hyper fox that he loved so much... he was brought out of his musings by a knock on the door which was met by Otiz bounding over to it dragging Salvatore with him, clothes in his mouth.

"Good morning son and Merry Christmas, come into the living room once your washed and dressed and then we can open up the presents" said Salvatore as he finally got his robes out of Otiz's mouth.

Harrison nodded and practically flew over to his bathroom to have a shower and then spend the day with his father and best friend.

Once he was done he was met with yet again a hyper active Otiz in the living room. Otiz took hold of Harrison's top and brought him towards the sofa where his father was drinking his coffee waiting for him.

Once he was sat down Otiz ran over to the tree and picked up two presents one for each of them, he handed them over and dived back under the tree to find one for him.

Harrison looked at Salvatore and Salvatore looked at Harrison and then they both looked at the gifts sitting in their laps, both laughed at what they were doing and started opening their gifts.

Salvatore's gifts consisted of two potion journals from Demetrius, from Natasha he got some rare potion vials that were made from crystal which had his name engraved on them and from Lucian he got some rare potion ingredients. From Harrison he got some new black robes with green and silver detail on them as well as some potion note books with the Slytherin house logo on.

Harrison's gifts consisted of some new robes from Natasha which were emerald green to match his eyes with the Payne's crest on them, from Demetrius he got a broom cleaning kit as well as some owl treats for Hettie and some sweets, Lucian had sent a photo of all five of them together along with some parchment and new quills. From Salvatore he got some owl treats again, another set of robes and some sweets.

Otiz got some meat and a brand new collar which had beautiful little gems which spelt out his name, these were given by both Harrison and Salvatore.

They spent the day preparing dinner as well as Harrison baking a cake and some cookies which he wouldn't stop talking about, they had the full Christmas dinner but it was way to much to just eat on their own but as they were going over to the Magnus' tomorrow they thought that bringing some left overs would be ok, the following day they would be going over to the Williams which Harrison wasn't too happy about but he would go none the less.

.........

The following day Harrison had to wake up Salvatore even though it was 5am in the morning which Salvatore wasn't happy about.

"Hadrian Jameson Salvatore Sacchi!!!" yelled Salvatore to his son who was laughing loudly while laying down on the bed holding his stomach while also holding onto Otiz.

"Ok now that we are all up, this early morning, I think a nice warm breakfast with coffee and hot chocolate would be a good idea to start the day don't you think?" said Salvatore as he got out of bed leaving Harrison there laughing.

It was not 10 am and they were finally getting ready to head over to the Magnus', Otiz wasn't sure about the whole travel by floo thing but he was with Harrison and he knew he would protect him, like he would protect him and Salvatore.

As they stepped though the floo they were welcomed by Lucian and Natasha, by shaking of hands by Lucian and a tight hug from Natasha to Harrison, she only really let go when Otiz started to growl at her, he want happy with how she was treating Harrison.

"Otiz it's ok they are my god parents, uncle Luc and aunt Nat, they aren't going to hurt me, promise" said Harrison to his familiar who in turn sniffed them both and then licked them which didn't please Lucian at all but once it was explained to them that Otiz was Harrison's familiar they left it alone.

Demetrius came running in half and hour later claiming that he had finally finished his homework but stopped once he saw Harrison and Salvatore in the lounge talking to his parents.

They all say down and talked and once lunch was called they all headed over the the dinning room where lunch was waiting for them.

As they sat down Otiz whimpered and nudged Harrison's arm and then looked at the table, he had nothing to eat!!! So Harrison looked towards Natasha and asked "aunt Nat could I have some raw meat please, Otiz here only eats raw meat" she smiled at him and called a house elf to bring some raw meat to the pouting fox next to Harrison.

After lunch was finished they all headed back to the lounge where Demetrius started to hand out gifts:

Demetrius: chess set from Salvatore and from Harrison a broom cleaning kit, his parents got him new sets of robes and some sweets

Lucian: he got a new cane with a hidden wand compartment so he could have his wand at the ready just like his old one, this one had a snake head with pale blue eyes embedded and from Salvatore he was given some books from the Prince library, ones he had never seen before.

The last present for the Magnus was Harrison's who was slow to give it to Natasha as he really wanted her to be surprised and once he handed it over she opened the small box and right away began crying.

Harrison wanted to go over to her and ask what was wrong but all she said was "thank you" and showed Lucian and right away and he took it out and place it around her neck.

Salvatore and Harrison was gift with two house elves by the names of Boris and Mink, they were to be their privet elves only to serve them when they needed and would only obey them. Boris to Salvatore and Mink to Harrison.

"Lucian your didn't have to really, I am quite capable to look after us without the need of house elves" said Salvatore to his long time friend.

They were in a heated discussion about house elves while Demetrius and Harrison played a game of chess after Otiz licked Demetrius' hand of course.

Otiz called curled up on Natasha's lap purring away due to being scratched behind his ears. "Hadrian when did you find this beauty, I have never seen anything like him before" she said.

"Oh I got him in the pet shop that deals with familiars, we were looking for the last Christmas present for Bryson Williams when I ended up in there, the teller said he was two Japanese demons. A Bakeneko a Japanese cat demon and a Kitsune a Japanese fox demon, he's very rare and the teller said that no one beside me has been allowed near him" finished Harrison only to sigh when Demetrius put him in checkmate again.

"The goof is spoilt rotten by my son... don't even think of saying no to that because I know that you have given him extra raw meat compared to his normal meals" said Salvatore to him only to have Harrison blush.

The day came to an end quicker than normal, Salvatore and Lucian were enjoying some fire whiskey, Natasha was stroking Otiz as now he was fast asleep, while Harrison was curled up on a chair asleep book on his lap, Demetrius was also out for the count.
