A Very Potter Christmas

It’s the first Yuletide since Sirius and Regulus moved in with the Potters, and James is determined to make it the best Yule ever! Unfortunately, this Yuletide also coincides with James’s debut into Wizarding Society as Heir to the Great and Noble House of Potter.So, join James for a very merry holiday, featuring:Gus (the Goat),Santa (Britain’s Most Wanted),Regulus (the Pint-Sized Dictator),James (the Abominable Cake-Man),A handful of balls (of the Yule variety),And an eency-weency crush (that might not be so eency-weency).Oh, and Sirius got his hands on the mistletoe. So, watch out!

I'M BACK BITCHES!Okay so,,, this is intended to be a very light-hearted, in some places crack-ish fic, although there are some heavier themes peeking through every now and again for flavour.I'll be posting one chapter a day (hopefully), like a little advent calendar just for y'all.Some warnings/disclaimers:One thing to note is that there is some exploration of religion at Christmastime, particularly Christianity and Paganism. None of it is meant to be disrespectful in any way, it just felt like a bit of an inescapable topic in the context of this fic. I've taken some inspiration from Paganism in the modern day and created a new wizarding system of faith, because I didn't want to copy and paste actual Pagan practices and call that fiction, and I didn't want to undermine Paganism as I respect it greatly. In addition, James is a Pureblood wizard and a complete outsider to muggle Christianity, so I thought it would be fun to explore his take on things since he grew up entirely separate from muggle conceptions of Christmas. It can come off a bit absurdist at times, but again this is all in good fun and not a criticism of Christianity or religion in general.The whole religion thing isn't that big of a focus in the fic anyway, I just thought I'd throw those disclaimers out there.Because this is the Black brothers we're talking about, there's also some vague references to child abuse and an unsafe living environment, though it's all in the past.There's quite a few references to discrimination since we see a lot of Purebloods in this fic. We'll see some sexism, some anti-creature sentiment, a dash of racism and homophobia. As I'm listing this out, it seems intense, but I swear this fic is light-hearted. These isms and opbias are very blink and you'll miss it, and James stands on business the whole way through, don't worry.There's also strong language (James and co are British teenagers, what do you expect?), some sexual references (again, teenagers), drinking (it's the holidays!), and... I think that's it? Have I covered everything? Who knows? Lemme know in the comments if I've missed anything.Disclaimer: I don't own anything, no-one sue me pls. x
