Chapter 4

It was just gone five in the afternoon when a much older-looking James appeared in the drawing room.
“Lord Charlus Potter.” Lolly announced.
Lily flushed this was James’ father? He looked old enough to be his grandfather…
Was that what Sirius and James meant by saying his parents were older then most?
Lily reached for the small bag she had packed for her one night at Laude Abbey, which was James’ childhood home. Packed inside were clothes for dinner, her nightclothes and an outfit for tomorrow.
Aurelius rose to greet the elder Potter, who was far more aged then he clearly expected.
Once the formal greetings between two Heads of a pureblood House were completed, the elder Potter took stock of Lily, “So you’re the lovely witch that stole my James’ heart?”
Lily blushed, “Isn’t it too soon for that?”
Lord Potter chuckled, “Not if you’re a Potter…we fall in love early usually about our First Year…”
Severus’ reaction was to snort in disbelief.
Lily cast a shocking spell at him, unlike Hogwarts there was no ‘Restricted Section’ at Durmstrang but certain books weren’t possible for those under a certain year to check out.
Aurelius didn’t restrict them from reading anything in the library at Merrivale either.
It helped that Aurelius knew them almost as well as himself so he would mention subjects that they would find interesting over meals and where to find them in the library.
Lily normally wouldn’t be so distracted but she was nervous…
She was only eleven and she had been invited over for solstice dinner with James and his parents.
Lily was surprised that Aurelius would let her go…
Charlus Potter bowed, offering her his arm, “Come along then Lady Lillian, I know that James is impatient to see you.”
Lily was nervous was he still the same selfish boy he was when she left Hogwarts or had he really become the boy she’s gotten to know through letters?
Lily said goodbye to Aurelius and Severus promising to see them tomorrow…
Then Charlus escorted her to the receiving room where they flooed straight into it’s counterpart in Laude Abbey.
They popped into the floo there to find James pacing nervously.
The moment he saw Lily he beamed and hugged her impulsively, “Lily! I missed you!”
Lily’s first thought was that he was quite like a child who had eaten too much Easter candy at once…
Lily couldn’t move because of how he was hugging her and had to wait for him to let go…
James then grabbed her hand, tugging her along talking a mile a minute about Hogwarts and how they had a new Headmaster….
Charlus seemed to follow them bemused.
Lily was still overwhelmed; she was supposed to be marrying into this family in the future? She wondered how good an idea that was…
Would James actually mature or would he continue to be a childish brat?

December 23, 1971
Lily had begged Aurelius to let her and Severus return to Cokeworth a day early because she wanted to help her dad pick out a tree. Hence she wasn’t in the Manor very long before they left having returned just after breakfast much to James’ dismay…
Aurelius of course portkeyed them to a stand of trees outside the village proper but a few minutes walk to Lily’s childhood home around mid-afternoon.
Lily hurried inside dragging Severus behind her, “Mum, I’m home!”
Severus was more then a little disconcerted by this…
Lily more then empathised with Aurelius and what his mind labelled his phantom Lily syndrome that had gotten worse after she was murdered in Aurelius’ past, had apparently vanished somewhat when Lily was around.
He felt less half-gone these days compared to when they met…
It was strange being conscious of her ability to telepathically communicate with Severus and sometimes Aurelius now that she was consciously aware of her twinness with Severus.
Lily still had things here so it was only Severus who had a bag with clothes, her brother had insisted on carrying their gifts as well.
Rose Evans hugged them both and kissed their hair.
“Don’t see why you’ve got to bother us if you’ve got your real family now.” Came Petunia’s spiteful comment.
“Petunia! This is your sister blood or not, Hugh always wanted a son and I can tell you’re growing into a fine young man.” Rose said as she pulled away to give Severus a once over. “I thought we weren’t going to have you until tomorrow…”
Lily blushed, “I just missed you Mum and I didn’t want to miss out on picking our Christmas tree. Severus and I brought gifts to put under it of course.”
Both of which were charmed to prevent Petunia from stealing or destroying them just to be safe…
Aurelius looked lonely as he slipped away and Lily worried for him…
But she and her brother Severus were being fussed over by her adopted mother and Lily couldn’t bring herself to miss Eileen when she had Rose who had always been there for her.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
Anon - I don't think Alaric has ever recieved Solstice presents before. He sees that as a family holiday and he's never had a real family of his own before. He may have exchanged birthday presents from say Oran Not but that's about it. WIth the Princes in his life as well as his future bonding the with a member of the Black family, I'm sure he'll get used it
