"I went to one of those schools too," Remus murmured, with a fond smile of his own. "My family took me when they could over the winter break, but more often than not, I ended up staying at school." Easier to avoid the questions of the neighbours, that way. Easier to just go to the Shack like any other month. Visiting James-and-Sirius, on those few rare occasions, required adherence to a strict schedule. "Used to explore the Library and end up in the common room with the hearth going and a big book to read."
His mother had coped the worse in having her son away for Christmas, but she was safer at home. "Mum sent me decorations in the post, and I'd make my own little tree." That was the closest he'd gotten to a family Christmas for those seven years.
