        I woke up to a light tickle from Crookshanks tail as he slowly made his way across my bed. He watched me curiously as I attempted to hold in my sneeze, aiming not to wake up my dorm mates. Out of the corner of my eye I could see movement outside the narrow stone window. I propped myself up on my elbows and peered out to see large snowflakes coming down. The snow had already covered the paths, leaving Hogwarts standing alone in an early morning flurry.

     With the view luring me out of bed I decided to get an early start and tried to withstand the chilly room while I changed out of my pajamas. I slipped a thick knit jumper over my head and a pair of overalls over that, I wanted to be prepared incase we went out into the snow later. Feeling much more comfortable now I lifted myself onto the small window ledge. My warm breath fogged up the glass and I began to write my initials on it with my pointer finger.

     "Y/n?" A sleepy voice mumbled from across the room.

     Hermione was watching me through tired eyes while the ginger cat rubbed up against her happily.

    "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you." I spluttered out as I stepped back down from the ledge.

     "It's perfectly fine, you're allowed to be up early on Christmas." She replied as she moved to the edge of her bed and went to put on slippers.

    "Wha-?" It was actually Christmas? How had I managed to forget?

    She giggled at my flustered expression and went to put on a jumper of her own.

    "You know, I bet Mrs. Weasley sends you a sweater this year, we all know she wants you and Ron together." I said giving her a sarcastic smirk.

    Her blushing face reflected at me in the mirror as she tucked in the oversized knit. Suddenly a thud at the dorm door pulled both of our attention. I walked over and used my strength to swing open the thick wooden door. Speak of the devil. A familiar ginger stared back at me, mouth in a wide grin. He poked in and gave Hermione an enthusiastic wave before turning back to me.

   "Merry Christmas! Come to breakfast with me?" He shrieked.

     I looked back at Hermione who was now lacing her shoes.

    "Both of you." He added, noticing I was watching her.

     "Alright, one second." I said as I pulled on my ankle boots and followed him into the common room, meeting Hermione there a second later. The common room was illuminated by the brightly lit tree which Hagrid had lugged in here the week prior. We had decorated it with handmade ornaments and gold and red ribbons.

    "We'll be back for presents later." Ron said as he fondly eyed the tweed tied packages his mother had sent.

   The three of us made our way down to the great hall where two sets of green eyes peered over at us from the Gryffindor table. Harry called us over while Dream continued to sip on his tea. I plopped down next to him and gave him a weak smile as Hermione and Ron filed into the rows.

   "Merry Christmas, Y/n." He said, clunking his mug to the empty one in front of me.

   "Merry Christmas to you too, Dream." I replied.

     The hall was busier than usual for the holidays. More students than ever had stayed behind, wanting to spend time at Hogwarts as long as it was still safe. News had arrived earlier in the semester that death eaters were getting closer to the grounds. I pulled a waffle onto my plate from the floating tray. I was always here during the holidays anyway. It was just Ron, Harry and I at first, the other ones eventually joining us as they realized how special Hogwarts was at Christmas. Harry and I both didn't have great home lives. I lived with my grandmother for the most part. She was a stout witch from the Outer Hebrides. We loved each other but hardly got along. Regardless, she didn't have to spend the season alone either. My cousins were only a boat ride away and I knew she didn't mind the isolation either.

    "You gonna eat that?" Ron asked me with a mouth full of sausage.

    I giggled at him and went to pour on some maple syrup, "yeah, just zoning out."

   A sudden familiar flapping came from overhead as a dozen or so owls swarmed the room. I recognized Hedwig as she dove towards Harry, dropping a small bundle in his lap, followed by Pigwidgeon who must have miscalculated, allowing a thick envelope to hit Ron's head. Dream chuckled as Ron examined his reflection for injuries on a spoon.

  "What'd you get?" I asked the two of them.

   Harry smiled down at the note on his package before turning it to me. A polaroid of Remus, Tonks and their baby smiled back at me.

   "Socks too," Harry mentioned, pulling his gift back.

   "Ron?" Hermione prodded him.

   "Coupon from Fred and George. I'm their bloody brother, shouldn't I get one by default?" He said with a flustered expression.

   We arrived back at the common room after breakfast, gathering around the tree. Grandma had sent me a bundle of dried lavender from her summer garden and a new beanie which I put on immediately, despite the roaring fire next to me. As I had hoped, Mrs. Weasley made Hermione a sweater this year. I could see her holding back a huge grin when she unwrapped the present. I didn't receive one, but wasn't offended by any means. 

   I spent most of my summers with Dream. Our parents were friends before we were born. I barely knew my parents thanks to you-know-who but his family had always been kind to me, letting me stay with them in South England where the water was much warmer for swimming then Scotland. Dream, who had been sitting on the couch behind me suddenly poked me on the shoulder. I turned to meet his gaze. He held out a present wrapped in the Daily Prophet.

   "Little something," he said as I took the gift from him.

   I quickly opened it up, revealing the sweet aroma of freshly baked cookies. I looked back at him beaming and pulled him in for a hug.

   "Sorry it's not much, I had George- that Ravenclaw, help me."

  "They're my favorite, thank you." I replied, releasing him from my embrace.
