The second Scamander

Chapter nine: Might have a new hippogriff

"So how did it go,?" Remus asked with a grin as we walked into the great hall.

"Well I might have a new hippogriff, and some people might know that I'm still alive," I said, approaching him with a hug.

"That was better than expected," He said, returning the hug.

"What do you mean?" I was confused by what he said.

"Well I expected having heard that you got so mad you roasted Malfoy into ashes," He said while laughing.

"I was close to doing it but thought the better of it. One of us had to be the adult one" I said as it was the most casual thing to say.

"Are you hungry?"

"Yeah, kinda but I'll fix it." And with that, I used my powers to make some food appear to me quickly. I ate it all in like two minutes and made my way to the common room.

When I entered I saw that it was completely empty. I made my way to the dorm I share with the twins only to find them sleeping. I didn't waste any time falling asleep myself.

During the time to Christmas, nothing exciting happened. Hagrid had lost some of his confidence and we were now working with less impressive animals, so that was a bummer. The day before Christmas the school was almost abandoned.

I had spent a week back home at my old school to hang out with my old friends. I almost didn't want to leave when my father came to bring me back to school where I would be spending the rest of the break.

When I got back I found out that Harry had gone to spend the break with Sirius. Hermione, the twins, Cedric and Ron were all staying which made me glad.

The day before Christmas by some miracle I had gotten everyone including Hermione in a huge snowball fight. It ended up being me, Ced, and Fred against Ron, Hermione, and George.

For the records, my team won. We went to sleep early that day, to say the least. The next morning I was not awoken by the usual pillows thrown in my face.

No.

This was way worse.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!". This literally made me jump out of bed only to see a very happy-looking Hermione, Ron, Fred, and George.

"I swear to god that I will end you all one day," I said with the best threatening voice I could manage. It could have been very good cause they just started laughing again.

We walked down to the common room. Well, they walked. I made Fred carry me because I was too mad to walk.

When we got down we saw many presents under the tree. We all made our way over to it and started opening present after present.

I got many books from my muggle friends and many other things from my new friends. I even got a famous Weasley sweater. After that, I thanked all my friends with big hugs and when I let go of Fred I hid my face a bit to hide the blush I could feel on it. I also thanked Ced when I saw him in the great hall.

Months later

Ron pov:

"Finally," I said in the common room when I walked down from my dorm.

"That you can say, Ron," Evie said back with a warm smile.

"We finally get a bloody break from school" Harry chipped in.

"You have to come over during the holiday" Fred and George said in unison. It really freaks me out when they do it.

"I'll ask my dad if I can," Evie replied.

"You have to come over to me as well" this time Harry and Hermione said in unison.

She just laughed and gave the same reply. We were sitting on the train playing exploding snaps and Evie har brought a deck of cards and taught us different card games.

"It's not fair. You are way better at this" I said finally giving up after our 5th game of some sort

"Don't be so sour Ron you'll get the hang of it" Hermione said nudging me with her shoulder.

"Easy for you to say, Mione, you have won two of the games, and Evie won the other three."

The others just laughed and we went back to talking for the rest of the train ride. When we got to the platform the twins basically dragged Evie over to our mother.

I feel kinda bad for her but then again she beat me in a game and I hate losing. After she had met them she went with professor Lupin and we all went our separate ways.
