009- Winter Holidays

Time Lapse

It's almost Christmas break. Most people go home for Christmas but others stay at Hogwarts. I do both, some years I have stayed at Hogwarts when my parents were too busy but other years, I have went home. Third years winter break was the worst, I had to stay at the Malfoy Manor. My parents wanted me to spend more time with Draco so we could be friends as our parents are close friends. That winter was when we started to fully hate eachother, we had so many arguments in the space of two weeks. We disliked eachother in first and second year but after third year, we really hated eachother.

This winter break, I'm not sure what I'm doing or where I am going. I very much doubt I'm going to the Malfoy Manor as every year, since third year, I have begged my parents not to send me there. My mother or father usually sends me a letter telling me where I'm staying. Hopefully I can stay at home as I do not want to spend two weeks in my dorm by myself. All of my friends usually go home but sometimes they stay at Hogwarts for a week to keep me company and then go home.

Me, Pansy, Millie, Blaise, Mattheo and Draco were sitting in the common room, talking about Christmas.

"Christmas was so much fun when we were younger." Millie sighed.

"That's the thing about growing up, holidays become less exciting." I told her.

"Where are you all staying for winter break?" Pansy asked us all.

"I don't know, I haven't got a letter from my parents yet." I told her.

"Me neither." Draco shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm going home." Blaise said.

"Same." Millie, Mattheo and Pansy all said.

"So, no one's staying at Hogwarts?" I groaned.

"You never know Y/n, you might get to stay at your home." Pansy tried to make me feel better.

"I hope so, I'm still waiting for a letter." I tried to think positively.

"You might have to stay with Draco again." Blaise joked.

"We do not talk about that." I warned him.

"Never again." Draco scoffed. Definitely never again. I don't like going to the Manor with my parents for a few hours, nevermind going there for a week or two.

"We leave in a few days, your parents should've sent you letters by now." Mattheo stated.

"You're right but my parents are busy people, they might not have time to send me a letter." I sighed.

"Same with my parents, they'll probably send a letter when they have time." Draco said. We all stood in silence for a minute, not knowing what else to say.

"Can you all believe that it's the end of first term?" Millie asked.

"The time has went by so fast." Mattheo said back and we all nodded in agreement. The time has went by pretty fast.

"Soon it'll be seventh year and then we'll be leaving Hogwarts." Pansy jumped ahead of time.

"Let's not think about that yet, I don't want to grow up anymore." I said.

"Growing up is apart of life." Pansy stated.

"When did we all start talking like adults?" Blaise raised his eyebrows.

"I don't know but I want it to stop." Millie chuckled.

"Let's change subjects. Millie, how's you and Theo?" I changed subjects and turned to face Millie.
