"That's so tragic." Cassandra breathed out, staring into space. Caterina sighed softly.
"I know."
"So he went through all of that.......just to find out, he really was a toy." Cassie shook her head in disbelief, her voice cracking slightly. "And then with Andy moving away and everything. Poor guy."
Chance pinched his nose. "Again! Really." He paused and sniffled slightly. "Just when I think I'm over it, you bring it up again. Ah Woody." He choked out, before covering his face with his hands.
Just then, the twins and Lee sat themselves down. Fred, who sat beside Cassie as always, kissed her forehead gently. "Merry Christmas, my lovely." He whispered, quietly enough so their friends wouldn't hear him. He had a soft smile, as he gazed down at the girl.
They all stayed at Hogwarts for Christmas this year. The Weasleys were visiting Bill, Cassie, well her reasons were pretty obvious. Chances family didn't quite have the same festive cheer Hogwarts had, so he wanted to stay. Then both Lee and Cat, just wanted to be with their friends.
Cassie blushed lightly and looked up at him, the sadness in her eyes, now replaced with glee and excitement. "Merry Christmas Freddie." She whispered back. Cat brought them both out of their daze, before any other words could be exchanged, while Chance ventured to George, in a low, but frantic voice.
"I seen that some of the Great Lake has been frozen over. Some students are gonna go ice-skating, I was wondering if you wanted to go?" Cat suggested. Lee perked up at this and stuck his chest out proudly.
"Yeah, definitely, that sounds fun. This way I can also show Angelina some of my skills on ice." He replied, Fred rolled his eyes.
"Or just forget about Angelina for a day, and focus on your friends, for once." He teased playfully. Lee huffed, but nodded his head in agreement. A wide grin spread across Cassies face.
"Angelina left yesterday morning, to go home for the holidays. Wow, you hadn't even noticed she'd left. How do you think that would make her feel? Godric, if my stalker took a day off, I don't know if I could take it."
Lee sneered at the girl who was now dramatically gazing into the distance, with a sad expression. Cat cleared her throat and gave Cassie a look. Cassies eyebrows shot up.
"Oh right, yeah, I'd love to go, we'll all go. Won't we?" She elbowed Fred, who was imagining him and Cassie, skating around peacefully together, he agreed enthusiastically. Cat clapped her hands together, excitement radiating off her in waves.
"So it's decided, we'll go down after breakf-."
"Wait so he really left Woody behind!" George exclaimed, jaw dropped in shock. Chance could only nod sadly in response, scared if he spoke, his voice would break.

"You know what?" Cassie strained her voice, staring out at the ice. "I just remembered that I forgot to water Goldilocks." Lee furrowed his eyebrows.
