Chapter 8 - Christmas At Hogwarts
"Knight to E-5," Harry says. The white chess piece moves its self. We were sat at the empty Gryffindor table.
"Queen to E-5," Ron says smirking. His red queen smashes Harry's knight.
"That's totally barbaric!" Hermione exclaims.
"Thats Wizards Chess," He says, "I see you've packed."
"I see you haven't," She says.
"Change of plans," He says, "my parents have decided to go to Romainia to visit my brother Charlie. He's studying dragons there." She looks at me.
"And you?" She asks.
"Micheal and I decided there was no reason to go home," I say, "we have no one to go to."
"Well then you and Ron can help Harry. He's going to look in the Library for infromation on Nicholas Flammel," She says. I groan.
"Nooo," I say.
"We've looked a hundred time!" Ron whines.
"Not in the restricted section," She whispers, "Happy Christmas."
"Happy Christmas," I say to her.
"I think we've had a bad influence on her," Ron says.
*******
"Mmmmm," I groan as I strecth. I look out the window to see the white blanket of snow covering the ground. I rub my eyes and sit up to see a couple boxes on the foot of my bed. "Oh my." I reach down and pull one of them towards me. It was from my Nanny. See she was like family to Mikey and I. She was always close to us. I rip it open to see a collection of muggle books. She knew I loved to read them. The next one was from Mikey. I guess he had someone sent it for him. I open it. It was a bunch of things. From candy, to a sketch book, to a book on charms. Then there was another one. Lumpy and wrapped in sliver paper. I open it carefully to see a purple jumper with a F/I swen into it. I look and see a card.
To Y/n
Ron's wrote all about you doll. And when he told us your story and how you'd and your brother would be spending christmas with him, I decided to make you and your brother both Weasley family jumpers.
- Molly Weasly
Rons mother made me a jumper? Hmm. I replace my sleep shirt with it and move on to the last one. The last one was smaller but in a green box with a silver bow. I open it up to see a bracelet. It was sliver with a green heart on it. Very elegeant and plain. And with the small card inside. With Draco's signature and nothing else.
Now I did exchange presents too. Mainly sweets. Especially to Harry, Ron, Fred, and George. Although the twins I got some supplies for their pranks. For Ron I got him a wizards chest board of the Gryffindor colors and a boat load of candy, Harry I gave him a book of easy charms and new flying gloves. Hermione a bunch of books about magic. And Draco got a silver ring with a snake etched into it.

"My mum made you one two?" Ron asks. I nod. "Sorry."
"No I like it," I say sitting beside George at the Gryffindor table, "its cute."
"Just means your apart of us now," George says.
"You're stuck with us forever Doll," Fred says.
"I'm okay with that," I say as I pile my pate up with food, "and Doll?"
"Figured it would suit you," Fred says.
"If you would like to remain alive I wouldn't use it," I say. He chuckles and George speaks up.
"Thanks for the Candy and such," George says.
"Oh yeah that will definitely help us," Fred says.
"Yeah thanks for my stuff too," Ron says.
"You're welcome," I say. I look around and notice a particuar boy missing, "where's Harry?"
"He's over there," Ron says pointing to another table. I look over to see him starring into the fire.
"Is he okay?" I ask.
"He went to get that book," Ron says, "and found something else and I think is a little upset at what he saw."
"Poor guy," I say.
"Micheal?" Percy asks. I look to see Mickey in a grey sweater with an M on it. "You got one too?"
"Jeez mum must have a lot of spare time this year round," Ron says.
"She wanted us to feel christmas cheer," I say, "said so in the card she sent with mine."
"Listen N/n and I and enjoying out first christmas with it just being us," He says, "but we needed the extra cheer." He smiles as he sits across from me. "And a new broom stick?"
"Yes," I say, "you're due for one anyways. Since you broke yours."
"Yeah but a Nimbus!" He says.
"I wanted it to be good," I say.
"Well it was. So thank you," He says.
"And thank you for my books," I say, "I'm not sleeping for at least a month to finsh them."
"Figured that would happen," He says.

"Y/n come here," Harry says grabbing my arm. We were walking back to our common rooms. Well I thought we were.
"Why?" I ask.
"I want to show you something," He says, "something cool. But its being moved so I have to show you it now."
"Fine," I say, "lets go." He throws his cloak over us. He told me about it earlier. It was his mysterious invisiblitlty cloak. He leads me through the dark halls of Hogwarts and into a room. Only with a mirror sat infront of it.
"Stand in front of it," He says.
"Okay?" I say. I stand in front. Instead of seeing myself I see my dad, and Micheal, and My mother. "Woah."
"What do you see?" He asks.
"My family," I say, "my mother, and father, and Micheal. All of us together and Happy."
"I saw my parents," He says, "and Ron saw himself being head boy."
"So what is it?" My eyes not moving from the sight before me. I missed my dad. My mom I just wish I got to know. But my dad, I grew up with him around. He would toss me in the air and spin me, and teach me magic, tell me magical stories about the wizarding world.
"It apparently shows you what your heart desires," He says, "and ours apparently is to have our familes." I wipe the tears from my eyes and turn away.
"I- I i have to go," I say. I leave him standing there and run quickly to the Slytherin dorms. It was too much to see my parents. It was too much to see my dad. Let alone standing there smiling and Happy as if they were alive. How could Harry look at his parents and not feel sick? Then again he didn't know them. That was as close as alive he got with them.
