'I just kicked him in the groin.'

The next morning she was woken up by Lily as usual with a pillow to her face. She dressed slowly and went to grab some breakfast. She had already packed her bag last night so she didn't had to care about any last moment panic.

She was eating breakfast with the girls so that she will be able to spend her train ride with the boys. All the other girls were excited for the holidays except her who was dreading to meet the Lestranges again.

"What happened Kels? Why is your mood so off?" Mary asked, her voice laced with concern.

"Nothing Mary. Just thinking about the holidays." She smiled at her. It looked like Mary wanted to ask her more about it but decided against it.

After their breakfast all of them went to the Hogsmead station by the carriages. They talked about random things the whole way, just about their usual plans for Christmas while Kelsie stayed sileny listening to their plans.

Lily was planning to visit France with her parents, Alice was supposed to meet Frank's mother this holiday while Marlene would be learning more about her family business of traditional robes and Mary just decided on spending a simple christmas with her parents.

When the girls sat at the compartment Kelsie went towards their usual compartment. As she neared, the voices grew louder. She quickly opened the door and shouted, startling everyone "Whatcha boys?"

All their heads turned towards her direction with wide eyes. Remus was the first to gain his momentum back and stood up to hug her "Long time, no see."

She hugged him back tightly "I just met you last night Moony." She said giggling while the other boys laughed and he made a face of being betrayed.

"You wound me." He said holding his heart "But come on, atleast you came before leaving." He said and pulled her to the seat between him and Sirius.

"I was actually planning to spend the train ride with you guys and I will be saying my goodbyes here too. You know, I have to activate the bitch mode once I step out of the train" She said with a lazy smirk.

She even looked the ideal kind that people would kill for. She wore a black velvet long sleeved dress. It was boat neck but only the area around her neck was black velvet, the area from there to right above her chest was a sheer material, accenturating her collarbone. The dress was a simple one, hugging her body tightly and flowing freely from her waist down. It reached her mid thigh and she was wearing black heels with wide straps to match her attire.

"You are unbelievable, you know that?" James said with an amused chuckle.

"You indeed are." Sirius mumbled with a smile like he didn't wanted her to hear it but she did.

"I indeed am, sweetheart." She replied cheekily.

After quite some time Peter left them to look for the trolley, Remus was already buried in his book and Sirius and James were in a serious game of Exploding snaps. Later the door opened and there stood the slytherin who was hated by everyone for his explicit behavior-Avery.

"Lestrange! Sitting with the blood traitors and half-bloods, I see." He sneered.

"Mind it Avery." She scowled at him.

"I have to talk to you about something. Can you come outside?" Even though it was a question, he already went outside.

"I will just see what he needs." She said standing up.

"You know, he can be dangerous." Sirius said as he too stood up.

"I know how to take care of myself Sirius." She said in a serious voice and went outside to see him leaning against the wall.
