"I don't really chase Loki around, he's pretty well behaved besides when he randomly runs up to people and sits in front them making me talk to them and explain who Loki is."

Rose laughed. "That sounds a whole lot like chasing him around to me."

Chaska, with only her chin and paws on the side of the fountain, tried to catch Loki's paws as he batted at her, extending both of her front legs to try to sandwich one of his paws. He was quicker than her, though, and unless he wanted her to grab his paws, his paw would shoot away before she could grasp it.

"Where did you learn to play violin and piano?" she asked. The coolest thing ever would be if he taught himself, but she knew he probably learned from one of his parents or his older brother. Most likely his older brother. "I can't play a musical instrument, though I taught myself how to read music a couple years ago," she said. Smirking, she continued, "Though it doesn't really help if I can't do anything with it, does it? I mostly just use it to create harmonies and stuff with my sisters."

Rose thought through her hobbies. "Reading, writing, being with friends. Classes, I guess, count," she started. She didn't really want to miss anything, since she was kinda forgetful about these kinds of things. "I do some sketching, but it's not good, its just me doodling... and I used to do some gymnastics, but I'm not super good at that either."

Henry laughed a bit at Rose's comment about chasing him around, it did sort of sound like he was chasing Loki around but he had a sneaky suspicion that the cat would purposely lead him to others to make hike talk instead if his routinely reading or thinking.

Henry eyed his cat, who was peering down at Chaska who was trying to grab his paws. Loki meanwhile was batting at her paws before retreating to ensure that Chaska didn't bat at him. Henry smiled a bit at his kitty who was slowly coming out of his confront zone as he watched Loki bat at Chaska head with his paw before retreating it and flicking his tail side to side which was dangerous closer to the water's surface as he continued to bat at the other kitten's paws and occasionally her head.

Henry turned his attention away from the two cats playing and back to Rose who commented on his music instruments. Henry thought about it for a while before speaking " when I was younger my father had my siblings and I do these lessons, taught to us by a tutor whose my fathers friend so it was free. That tutor was where I learned how to play, two or so years ago we stop having her tutor us and we started doing our known lessons, my brother sometimes helps me learn through," Henry then replied to her response on music as he spoke " that's sweet how close you are with your siblings and if you want I can teach you either the piano or violin?"

Henry listened to her talk about her hobbies than doubt herself when it came to certain skills in which Henry smiled, " your hobbies sound amazing and I'm sure your brilliant at sketching," Pausing for a moment Henry then spoke " gymnastics? Do you remember anything?"

Rose's eyes lit up. "I would love to learn piano," she said excitedly. Her entire aura just doubled in happiness. "That's so kind of you to offer. I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to, only if you have time."

Psh, Rose really wasn't that "brilliant." She realized that Henry had a tendency to do that- try to boost her esteem by assuring her she was great at stuff. It worked a lot of the time. Even if it didn't, it never failed to make her smile and appreciate how kind he was.

What did she remember from gymnastics? She was super young when she had actually been taught gymnastics, by a professional person. The rest of it she had just picked up from various YouTube videos, and, again, her sisters. Both Faith and Jessica had been more passionate and skilled at gymnastics than Rose was, and always picked it up faster than she did. Still, Rose got up off of the side of the fountain. "I used to have all my splits," she commented, sliding down to the ground and into her split. It wasn't perfect, by any means. No, she was still a couple inches off the ground. But it was better than she thought she would be, after not practicing for so long. Pulling herself up out of the split, she then did a cartwheel. It was nothing special, either. "I haven't practiced in forever, though. I just knew the basic stuff like that." She had used to be able to do a backwalkover, and stand on her hands, but didn't want to try her luck at something like that when she hadn't done anything like that in a while. Especially with the stone ground here. Sometimes, she was jealous of her sisters for still catching up with that stuff. Jess had even started to self-teach herself some ballet, with much help from YouTube videos. She was really really good at it, too.

Rose sat back down next to Henry, brushing her hands together. "At the school I went to before Hogwarts, it was like, a social status how much gymnastics you could do. Some of the girls were really good at it, too."

"How is your twin sister doing at home, by the way?"

Henry smiled at Rose's reply and thought about when he learn, remembering how he didn't have much of a choice at the matter or anything but was willing to teach someone else as he spoke " oh, I don't mind Rose. Maybe I could teach you in the rehearsal room, they have a piano since we may not each other during the summer holiday," oh how wrong he would be in just a few short months he will see how wrong he is.

Henry watched Rose slid off the fountain and slid herself down into the splits. Which was far more impressive then he ever saw or could do so he smiled at her and gave a small applause as he watched Rose do a cartwheel which amazed him some more. When he watched her rejoin him on the fountain, Henry spoke to her, "that was amazing Rose, your very talented."

Henry then listened to Rose speak about her old school before Hogwarts and how gymnastics tried in allowing him to ask " your school before Hogwarts? What was that like?" Henry then ran a hand through his hair before he would say " I attended one near godric hollow for a year or so but after my mum died I started doing lessons at home with my sister," he didn't like to talk about his childhood that much probably because in each memory he add a bit of both good and bad.

" Uh my twin is good I guess, she attended a muggle secondary school last year in Liverpool so I'm not totally ignorant about muggle the world just a bit ignorant," he laughed a bit before continuing " after some incidents at the school this year she stopped going and started getting lessons at home again, I don't know what the incidents were nor does Arthur; uh my older brother," Henry looked away for a moment at his cat; Loki who bat at Chaska head once more before scampering down the fountain and flicking his tail from side to side.

" Even before Hogwarts we have been that close, I was usually inside or in a tree with a book while she was out somewhere causing mischief. I also bonded with Arthur while she bonded with our mum so," he then stopped not wanting to say more as he spoke again " what about your siblings? How are they? How's your little sister?"

"That sounds amazing," Rose commented, still excited at the thought of playing a musical instrument. It would be beautiful, and- oh, yes. In her grandparents' house, they had a music room, which had a piano in it. The acoustics in there made everything sound so much more beautiful than it was.

He complimented her again, making her blush. "Thank you."

Rose hesitated. Her school before Hogwarts. "It was a pretty big school near London. There was no magic whatsoever, which is obviously much in contrast to Hogwarts." She laughed. Loki then jumped off the side of the fountain, and Rose watched Chaska take her paws off the fountain and chase after his tail, trying to catch it as it flicked from side to side. She bounded, playfully with a spring in her step. Rose was glad that Loki had loosened up. He had been so stone-cold serious before, and it probably wasn't good for him, especially because he was still young. He should play like any other kitty.

Rose laughed along with Henry. Oh, she was sure he wasn't ignorant about the muggle world. He did do muggle photography, after all. "Yeah, that does make sense." As for Rose's siblings, "They're all pretty good. My little brother got sorted into Ravenclaw, which I never saw coming," she laughed. "But he's doing well. My little sister..." How was Rose supposed to know how her sister was? Since the Howler from her mother telling her to stop trying to help her, Rose had been cut off from her little sister as punishment for the both of them, and since Rose had also been ignoring her mother's owls, it wasn't like she was hearing anything from home. How in the world is she supposed to know?

"Jess is..." She shook her head, watching the cats instead of meeting his gaze. She might as well start at the beginning of the conundrum. "My mom was... working a lot, and so she wasn't really at home with Jessica a lot. I owled my aunt to see if she could go over and help, spend time with Jess, and my mom blew up. She's just so prideful like that, thinks she can do it all on her own. And, uh, as punishment, she cut Jess off from me and my other siblings." Oh, that sounded so pathetic. Why did she just dump that on Henry? He had never asked for that! He never wanted it! There was just something so trustworthy about Henry. And, plus, she could never lie to him. Rose was furious at her mom, but when it showed on the outside, like it did now, it wasn't a normal kind of mad, it was a Rose kind of mad. Her eyes smoldered, and her jaw was set, and she was very still, not moving except for the rising and falling of her chest, and her eyes watching Chaska run after Loki. Rose was just a little bit scary when she was mad. "I'm sure she's fine, though. I know she's fine. It's just not like my mother to act like this, though."

Rose sighed. "Anyway," she said in a brighter tone, trying to change the subject. "Do you have any Christmas family traditions?"

Henry smiled at Rose at her replies and ran a hand through his hair to brush it out if his eyes as he watched Loki rush at Chaska and bat at her head before scrambling toward the tree closest to them and jumping up. Henry watched as his cat climb to the first branch which looked to be around six or so feet off the ground before laying on it and looking down at Chaska, almost daring her to climb up as well as Loki's tail flick from side to side.

The twelve year old then turned back toward Rose as he listened to her speak about her school before Hogwarts which interested the boy for sure since he never technically went to a school before Hogwarts which was the reason behind why he spoke " that's interesting, anything else about it Rose? Only if you want to talk about if of course," he smiled toward her and figured he should tell her the reason why he was curious so he spoke " I attended a muggle school in godric hollow for two and a half years maybe but after my mum died and after my first incident with magic I stopped attending with me sister and started doing lessons at home which is why in curious about your old school Rose."

Henry listened to Rose talk about his siblings and nod as she spoke, however when she started talking about her little sister and the situation that happened between her and her mother Henry smiled a bit and waited before he said anything. Thinking about his words for a while until he said " I'm sorry about your little sister Rose and hopefully you guys can catch up during the break, maybe you'll even be able to writing to her again?" Henry then gently touched her hand and squeezed it before letting it go and saying " but at least you guys still have each other, that's the important part and maybe you can figure out another way to contact your sister. I can help you if you want, maybe there's some type of magic or something else that you can use?"

Henry smiled at Rose as he did want to help her since he knew how she felt and maybe her little sister, he was bonded closely with his two siblings because after their mother died their father bascaily became nonexistent always gone and rarely ever home. So that left the three kids to grow up by themselves, to care and protect one another which explained their close relationship and also why Henry wanted to help Rose with her own little sister.

However Henry wasn't expecting her next question, Christmas family traditions? Did his family have any? As Henry thought, he struggled to find any maybe they did when his mother was alive but he only saw flashes of his life from the ages of one to four which were sitting on the couch together, star gazing together, and other things like that. The last two years was when he was five and six, which he struggled to remember those Christmas but he thought he remembered them star gazing in both? Was that a tradition or just a activity? Visiting that one aunt and uncle and two cousins, was that a tradition? He thought that one was since they went even after his mother died? Read a Christmas story? Bake cookies? Did his family have any traditions? He couldn't remember since after his mother died, his father was almost never around especially during holidays so it was just him and his siblings mostly.

Henry smiled at Rose a bit before saying " Christmas traditions? Uh before my mum died I'm sure we had some but after, well my father would work on holidays and my siblings and I would be left alone so we don't really have hang traditions," that sounded sad according to Henry and he quickly continued " but before she died we would visit my aunt and uncle and two cousins every Christmas morning when we would open gifts. And we would read stories, mostly Christmas stories together every night and every Christmas night we would stat gaze together neat this oak tree," as the words flew from his mouth so did the memory it wasn't in Christmas however but it was close enough since they were attacked start gazing.

He ran a hand through his hair before he would speak again " uh after, I don't know if you would call it a tradition but my siblings and I would either make or sometimes but each other a gift that we opened on Christmas and every Christmas night we would stare at the stars again, sometimes it felt like everything was normal again. Like our family was whole and not broken, uh what about you? Any Christmas family traditions Rose?"

"Well... it was kinda like Hogwarts. We didn't have to wear uniforms, though there was a dress code. A dress code that certain girls loved breaking... and instead of Quidditch and Duelling specific to the school, the students did other sports like soccer and basketball. There were no houses there, either, and you pretty much stayed with the same group of people all day. Though that is probably because it was a primary school. Uh... It was not a castle, it was a brick building. And the staircases didn't move- it was a lot harder to get lost. It wasn't quite as big as Hogwarts, either. We learned about... literature and history and science and math, instead of potions and transfiguration and stuff," Rose explained. She knew she was rambling, but Henry had asked, and wanted to know more about the muggle school she had attended since he hadn't had a chance to attend one himself.

Chaska continued to bounce after Loki, looking at him from the ground before scampering up the tree, onto the branch he had gotten onto. She didn't seem overly comfortable in the tree, but she wasn't about to fall off or anything, maintaining her balance fairly well.

Rose's heart melted a little bit. What an amazing friend Henry was, and how lucky she was to have him. She appreciated the squeeze of his hand, too. "Thank you. I'm not sure there is another way to contact her, but if there's any way you can help, I will tell you."

Henry seemed to hesitate a moment before telling her about his aunt's house and the stars. Rose listened closely. Maybe she shouldn't have asked- Henry seemed anxious about it, for some reason. It was okay if he really didn't have many Christmas traditions, it was just a question. "Star gazing... that sounds so cool."

"Well, my mom always tries to take as much of Christmas Break off of work. She's usually successful. And we all go over to America and spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day there, as well as a few days after. We take pictures every year with the whole family, I guess. Not too many Christmas traditions I guess. It's mostly just me and my siblings hanging around."

Henry listened to her talk about her school, it fascinated Henry as the only muggle school Henry attended was a small one in godric hollow for two years and a half which he hated since he was almost always alone and he found the classes sometimes too easy. Doing his lessons at home was something he loved when he was a child but after moving to Liverpool and watching his twin attend the muggle school there he may have been a bit jealous of her but when he was younger he prefer being by himself.

" Did you like that school? Do you miss your friends from there? Uh sorry, you don't have answer those if you don't want to," Henry spoke before looking over at Loki and now Chaska who is now on the branch with him, Loki seemed comfortable on the branch as Henry watched the cat bat at Chaska head and walk along the narrow branch.

Henry watched as Loki walked back to Chaska and bat her on the head again before jumping over the cat and wandering toward the trunk where he then turned and ran back to Chaska, where he then bat her head and jumped over her before coming to a halt reaching the end of the branch and turning around to face Chaska.

Henry looked back at Rose with a smile before he replied " there's a few I know of, maybe we could meet in the library to talk about them sometime," Henry smiled at her and looked away when she statues talking about her own traditions.

He looked at the two cats but was thinking about his own family, he really didn't know much about his family outside of his siblings and father. He consider he lucky to have such a large family but in a way he was to that even through his family was small, it was also close. Henry looked at her and smile as he spoke " that sounds like some pretty good traditions to me, your lucky to have such a large family Rose."

"No, that's okay," Rose said, laughing a little bit. "I did like that school. I didn't have too many good friends, though I do miss them." Rose had had one or two good friends that she would stick with throughout the year. Most of the time, those same good friends would sometimes bleed into several years of "good friends." As excited that Rose was to be going to Hogwarts, she did miss her friends back at the muggle school in London. They had been told she was going to a boarding school throughout the year for special students. She looked back on her adventures with them fondly. "I do miss them," she repeated, quietly but happily. It was a strange feeling, nostaligia.

Chaska dug her claws into the bark of the tree, crouching her belly closer to the branch as it swayed under Loki's jump.

Rose was a little hesitant to contact Jess anyway, since she didn't want her mom to be even more mad at her if she found out. "That's sweet of you to offer, but I don't really want to go behind my mom's back... I dunno, maybe I should just let it go," Rose said thoughtfully. "She probably just has more work hours or something. Though..." Rose shook her head. It probably wasn't important. "Jess said she was always so happy and if she was working overtime, I can't imagine... I'll probably just owl her or something and ask about why she isn't home as much."

Rose felt bad for Henry, as he commented about how lucky she was to have such a big family. If that was something Henry was wishing for, his wish would be granted. It would come sooner than he thought in a very unexpected way.

Chaska kept trying to catch Loki's tail, even though they were on the branch. What a determined kitty. Rose wondered what would happen if she did catch his tail.

"So, your brother, he's an Auror, right? How is he nowadays?" Rose queried.

Henry smiled at Rose as she spoke about her friends from the school she went to before Hogwarts. Not sure what to say, he just smiled as memories flashed in his own mind except inside if school days they were childhood ones from when he lived in godric hollow. Henry remembered having a few close friends back in godric hollow whom he hung out with and had adventures with, it came at a surprised when he moved and he tried to stay in contact with them but it failed of course unknowing to Henry, he would see them soon and be back in godric hollow that upcoming summer holiday just not as he will expect.

Henry nodded toward Rose as he spoke " owling her sounds good, but if you do ever need another way to contact someone besides owls then just let me know," Henry then let his eyes wander toward the two cats on the branch above, he watched as Loki bended down then pounced at Chaska before batting at her head three times. He the watched Loki scrambled toward the trunk and climb down a foot before jumping at the rest of the way down and looking back up at Chaska, almost daring the cat to do the same.

Henry then watch Loki run to the fountain and hop on it and it next to Henry again, still keeping his eyes on Chaska as his tail flick from side to side.

Henry's attention was taken back to Rose as he looked over at her before speaking " he's not a auror yet, Arthur's currently taking his second and third year of his auror training so he should officially be a auror by the summer holiday," Henry smiled at Rose before looking away, he never liked the ministry and still didn't like them as he looked at the two kitties before continuing " but he's good, I haven't got a letter from him this week yet but he's pretty focus on his training now so. He also seems happy about something but won't tell me till the summer holiday so yeah," Henry was still curious about what his brother was keeping from him but moved past it as he spoke again " he also was the one who got me Loki with the money he saved up from his part time job, my father wouldn't even know about him if Loki didn't run up to him one night."

Henry remembered Loki running up to his father in the middle of the night which caused his father to get a arguement with Arthur about the cat that night and actually all that week to. Henry ran a hand through his hair before speaking again " you talk about your aunt a lot, how is she?
