Home at Last
The front door opened to the Potter manor in Maryland, quickly footsteps were heard running to the front entrance. "Harry!" Two voices shouted as they tackled the one to the ground.
"Hm I see the love." Edward muttered as he entered the house too.
"Eddy!" They shouted sending him to the ground next. Together the Potter children all joined the hug laughing at the youngers excitement.
"What about us?" James pouted with Lily smiling next to him.
The younger Potters bolted to their parents who picked them up each hugging them back. "Its so good to be back!"
Their hugging sessions though was interrupted with the fire alarm going off. "Sirius!" They heard from the entry way. Quickly the Potters ran tot he kitchen where they saw Sirius and Remus who stayed to watch the kids trying to cook.
"Sirius what is this!"
He turned around sheepishly, "I tried to make you something," and winced when Rosa smacked his head.
"Kids! Bed time" Lily called as she entered the front living room.
"Ah," "Mom were almost done."
Lily shook her head with a smile, "nope its bed time." The children all pouted, "Harry and Edward you have finales, and you two its past your bed times."
"Ah mom I am 10-"
"No buts Damian up you get. The game will be here when you all get back." James said from the staircase.
"Come on lets say good by to Padfoot!" Harry exclaimed to his sibling and all four siblings bolted from the room ignoring the cries from their parents.
"Padfoot! Moony!" They shouted at the floo entrance they pelted the two men with hugs.
"Soo you kids soon." Sirius said laughing.
"Thank you again for watching them," Lily spoke interrupting their hugging session.
"Oh these troublemakers-" he laughed as two hey's were shouted, "are a blast."
"See you soon Pad."
"Bye Prongs, bye troublemakers by Lily!"
They each passed shouted of good byes and promising to see them soon. After they left each of the Potter children ran up the stairs followed by their parents.
"Harry, Its almost 12." James said accusingly as he went by Harry's room.
Harry swiveled his desk chair to the door, "I just need to finish this."
James sighed and waked into the room taking a seat at the corner of the bed. "I know after everything coming home after a life changing event is hard. But I also know being your father you haven't been sleeping much. Nightmare's. Harry I am here, I blame my self for what happened to you. I was a teen a spoiled kid, I messed up so much."
Harry fully turned to his father who had his face in his hands. "Dad, you couldn't have known."
"And the sleep?"
Harry sighed this time sitting next to his dad, "its true. I just can't get that feeling-"
"Hey," James wrapped his arms around Harry, "relax. Trust me overthinking isn't easy for us."
Harry laid his head on his fathers shoulder, "alright you need your rest for tomorrow last day of school and all." Harr nodded, "lets try something. I was taught this my first year. Lay back." He instructed Harry doing the same. James then proceeded to talk Harry though a few techniques and both father and son were soon out like a light with a smiling Lily silently closing the bedroom door.
"Ladies and Gentlemen please find a seat we will beginning momentarily for the Lower closing ceremony."
"Mom" Edward pulled at Lily's hand "come on. I found dad and Harry."
Lily laughed following their son to where her husband and son were standing.
"So where are they coming from again?" Sirius asked getting Harry to roll his eyes.
He pointed "over there. They come from up the hill. we'll see her behind the banner for third grade."
Soon after the Closing Ceremony started, each grade from Prekindergarten to third grade proceeded down the hill. The Potter family, Sirius and Remus cheered when they saw Alize behind her third year banner. Then the Fourth year came out with the Fourth Grade Drum Corps followed by the classmates. Stories, laughs and tears were passed as the Fourth Graders were told many of many favorite memories and given their certificates of achievement. Ending with the receiving line of Lower School faculty for hugs and handshakes. Once they all went through the Principle started off with the "tossing of the blazers."
"Alize!" Harry shouted weaving through the crowds of happy families. Harry gave his little sister a tight hug, "your going to be a forth grader next year, how does it feel?"
"I'm not till the fall. I am still a third grader." She pouted adamant that she's still younger.
Harry chuckled, "your getting so big."
She hit him on the head, "now what did Harry do?"
Alize turned her head followed by Harry to see Edward and Damian come up to the pair. "He called me big!"
"You're not taller than I am squirt." Edward joked setting Alize to go after him for calling her squirt.
"Boys stop picking on your sister." Lily scolded them at the adults' came up to them.
"Lets go home for some cake!" James said getting cheers from the Potter Children.
It was two days later when the Potter family showed back to the school this time waiting for Damian to come out for his closing ceremony. Which was much of the same as with the Lower years as each grade came out followed by the Eighth Grade. Damian was behind the fifth grade banner who will be going into sixth grade next year.
"So Harry is a senior next year. How old do you feel now?" Edward teased Harry as they were heading to the car after the ceremony.
Harry shoved his brother, "your going to be a Sophomore next year."
"I call dibs to ride with Sirius!" Edward called running a head of the bickering brothers.
"Hey!" Both Edward and Harry shouted to their brother racing to the vehicles.
Lily just shouted at the argument continued "enough!" Sirius called out halting the boy's argument. "Edward gets dibs today due to it being his day."
The eldest two sighed in defeat getting into the Potter vehicle.
"Harry! Edward! Your report cards are here."
Both boys were heard running down the stairs, "give me!" Harry demanded taking the envelope.
"Hey apologize I didn't raise you to like that."
Harry was scanning "Sorry," he muttered under his breath. Only to break into a pleased smile, "all A's again! I can get to pick out my car."
"A a wait just a second," James snatched the paper out from Harry, "mmm you must be wrong Harry you missed two weeks of school."
Harry shouted in dismay "we were all gone."
James chuckled running his hand through Harry's unrolling hair getting Harry to slap his hand in anger for messing his hair. "We'll go tomorrow to the used car lot and see what they have. But first you have some cleaning to do." He sang the last part to Harry as he glared heading off to the room his mom instructed him to clean for the party.
After cleaning the guest arrived, Alize's friends were running around, Damian's group was in the game room. Edward and Harry with their friends were mostly out side. Music, food and laughter filled the Potter Manor late into the night. It was a early birthday for Harry and the first day of summer vacations. Harry waved to his friends as they all drove off, most of them were going one trips with their family and some like Harry was just going to stay at home.
"I'll be back before you know it Nefertiti" Thiago said hugging a black Egyptian cat, it was his pet for many years his best friend. "Harry will take good care of you I know it."
"Come here your majesty," Harry said picking up the cat out of his friends arms. "We will have plenty of fun."
Thiago laughed, "thank you for watching her, its way better than being in the kennel. Good luck in the driving lessons."
"Thank you, I'm looking forward to it. You all have a wonderful trip. See ya in a month!"
"See ya!" Thiago called out from the car window of his parents car. Harry stayed at the driveway till the car was out of sight before heading into his house looking forward to his summer relaxing time.
