After a while, Draco left the library and I decide to search for a book to occupy my spare time especially since it was holidays soon and since we get the choice to stay, I know I don't want to be back in the muggle world, not yet. I found a book and it was a book about famous wizards and witches. When I finish the process of checking out the book, I head down to the Slytherin common room. The first person I see is Carter talking to a second year, whom I didn't know, Carter spots me and excuses themselves from the conversation, and walks over to me.
"Hey (Y/N)! Are you staying at Hogwarts for the Holidays?" Carter asks as they approach me, I nod
"Yeah, I am. Are you?" Carter shakes their head,
"No, I have to go home so that my Grandma and Grandpa don't think that I'm avoiding them. but seeing as I leave in two days, I wanted to give you this!" they push a small neatly wrapped gift in my hands "It's ok that you didn't get me anything, I just like giving people presents! But don't open it until Christmas." I open my arms and pull Carter into a hug.
"Thank you, other than my brother nobody has ever given me a gift," when we pulled apart, we decided to go to our room so I can help Carter start packing, we wanted something to feel normal, so we did it without magic, and it turned into us messing around and trying out some spells that seemed easy, it definitely didn't end in any fires... nope! Didn't happen!
---Time skip two days.---
As I walk down to the train station with Carter, I notice Hermione walking by herself, so I look at Carter and ask if they mind her walking with us, they nod as to indicate it was ok.
"Hey! Hermione do you want to walk with us?" she looks at us and agrees, so as we walk, we talk about how different the muggle world is from the wizarding world.
"Ok, I have one, why don't we use pens? I mean it saves time plus it's neater, I get that there is a vibe here of 17th century but, can't we just use them?" they both laugh after I said this but eventually agree that it's way too much work to constantly dip our quills in ink. Turns out we arrived at the station ten minutes earlier than needed, we see a lot of people from different houses, but the house that has the most people there are definitely the Slytherins, though I suppose most are Pure-blood and rich and not trying to avoid going to the muggle-world out of fear of how their guardians would react.
One person I don't see though is Draco, I thought he would have taken any chance to go home, but I guess I was wrong. When my two friends got on the train, I waited for the train to start moving before I walked back to the castle in peace, turns out only a few people had walked to see their friends off, most were Hufflepuffs, given their kind nature. As I walked back, I noticed it had started to snow. It was beautiful compared to the places I had seen snow in the muggle-world.
I found peace in the snow, it made me think of the time Harry and I had been allowed to go to the park in winter, we ran around in the second-hand clothes that we had got from Dudley – I had snuck some of Aunt Petunia's sewing items so they would fit Harry and I better. Whenever Harry and I had been allowed to run free we always went to the park, we could pretend we were a happy family. Like our parents were sitting on the bench talking as their two children caused chaos. Thinking of memories like that made me feel sad now; now that my twin thought I was evil; now that we had only spoken to each other once since arriving; now that I didn't have anyone to cause chaos in the snow with.
I need to fix things with Harry.
As soon as I can.
I can't lose my brother.
