A snapshot of what some of our favorite Marauder's experience one Christmas when going home for the holidays. Not expecting to see each other until after the break, their paths will intertwine in unexpected ways as they navigate through the unpredictability that is family.

James, Lilly and Sirius all go home for the holidays with their families. Although they thought they wouldn't be seeing each other until the break was over, their Christmases get entangled as things get complicated- as they are often wont to do when family is around. Canon-compliant.

Told from the viewpoint of one of the caretakers at Wool's orphanage. Tom begins to target one of the workers after the incident where he kills another boy's rabbit. No smut or slash, but there will be some disturbing imagery since I am approaching this from a horror perspective- nothing too excessive though.
