Mia Rain: Bayside High

Oh It's Christmas Magic!

After the train pulled over, I stared out the window where Hogwarts castle was in a distance. Evening sparkled around the cement towers and four houses. It looked really astonishing. I really forgot how beautiful it looked from when I was eleven. Harry smirked. "I know. It looks very amazing." He joked. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. "Duh, Chosen One." I sassed. They laughed. "Sometimes you both act like siblings." She said. Ron nodded in agreement. We got out the train with other house classmates and walked the path to the front castle doors. Memories fulfilled my brain. I greeted Fred and George who appeared in front of me. Ginny waved from standing beside Harry. I was the first to know she had a crush on him since first year. Professor McGonagall hummed in response. "It's nice to see you again Ms. Rain. Hope you've had a lovely vacation." She said nicely. I smiled and nodded. "Thank you Professor." I said. We continued chatting until we came in the Great Hall where a few tables aligned. The middle was for Gryffindors. I sat between Hermione and Ginny. My stomach rumbled hungrily. Sitting in a train for five hours really bothered my belly. Ron huffed. "I'm so bloody hungry!" He complained. I inhaled a deep breath. "Get in line." I agreed. Hermione smiled teasingly and wrapped her arm around my shoulder. "Hm, remember when you used to stuff your face with chocolate frogs?" She asked. I smiled sheepishly. Harry laughed and rubbed his hair. "Hermione, she hated the frogs! She once puked on her plate." He laughed. Fred and George couldn't contain their laughter. "Thank you for reminiscing that." I said sarcastically. He stuck his tongue at me. "I'm only correcting her!" He said. I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "Whatever, Goggles." I sassed. "Makeup girl!" He sassed. We stuck our tongues at each other. Ginny giggled. Ron chuckled. "I'm wondering if you were Harry's lost sister." He slightly joked. Fred nodded. "Sure act like one." He added. "Definitely." George said. My eyes widened at the Christmas decorations including a giant Christmas tree. I pulled out my wand and spoke one spell. My wand glowed, making a red beanie appear on my head. Hermione smiled. "Cute!" She said. "Thanks!" I said, giggling. Neville waved at me. I returned the gesture and fiddled with my fingers. Ginny smiled excitingly. "I'm excited we'll go to the Christmas ball! What's it like?" She asked. I hummed in response. "Lexi did mention it'll look like one Christmas movie with everything in one." I told her. Ron raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "You're kidding? I heard her father's a rich mogul." He mentioned. "Which means he probably owns the party." Harry said jokingly. I scoffed. "Have to agree." I said. Hermione rolled her eyes. We waited impatiently until Professor McGonagall brought the first year kids into the Hall. Suddenly, buffets of food appeared on the tables. "Yay! Food!" I cheered. Harry chuckled as we dove into the deliciousness on our plates.

Professor Dumbledore welcomed our return and wished us a good Christmas because we have two days before break. Everyone regrouped in the Gryffindor common room. I sat on the couch in front of the fireplace. It felt really warm after shivering through the cold night. Lisa texted me if we could go shop for dresses with Hermione and Ginny. I replied back with a yes. I snapped out of my thoughts when Harry sat next to me. He smiled. "Hey girlie!" He said in a high-pitched voice. I laughed, crossing my legs. "I wouldn't talk like that in public Potter." I joked. He playfully rolled his eyes and used his wand to appear a mug of hot chocolate in my hand. Oh. Excuse me my comment then. I smiled happily. "Yay girlie!" I joked. Harry chuckled. I drank while he stared from behind the couch at Ginny. She was laughing with Dean and Seamus. My jaw dropped. It's true! It's been true! Harry does like Ginny! She always thought he'd never because all these girls would kill to date the Chosen One. I looked at him in awe. "Aww! You like Ginny! You like- I was cut off when he covered my mouth and shushed me. "Shh! Bloody hell Mia!" He whispered/yelled. I smiled widely. "Tell me. Do you like her?" I whispered. He inhaled a deep breath and crossed his arms. That answer is yes. I cheered excitingly. Harry looked at me weirdly. "Golly, were you a cheerleader in that Muggle school? Because you definitely cheer a lot." He said. I playfully poked his forehead. "Duh genius." I said. "How long you've liked her?" I asked. He fixed his glasses shyly. "Since fourth year." He admitted. Aww. So cute! My brain clicked. This is perfect! I nudged his shoulder and smiled. "Why don't you ask her out to the ball?" I asked. Harry's eyes widened. "Blimey! Are you nuts?! I'm too nervous! She'll probably ask out Dean or Seamus!" He whispered. I nodded in disagreement and ruffled his hair. "Harry, you're very kind and smart. She wouldn't like anybody else trust me. All you gotta do is be yourself. Your confident self." I advised. Harry smiled warmly. "Thanks Mia." He said. The bell rang which meant our bedtime is starting. I walked with Hermione and Ginny to the girl's dormitory.

It was 2am. I was sleeping contently with two blankets covering my body. Thankfully, I used a spell to make a small heater appear. It successfully kept me warm in my cold bed. My phone buzzed on our nightstand. I mentally groaned. Why is it people end up calling me this hour? Usually it's always something bad. The sound didn't wake Hermione up. I mentally breathed a breath of relief before reading a text from...Harry?!

Chosen One🤣🪄: please come...😓😢

What's happening? Is he ok? What could be wrong with him right now? My brain clicked. Nightmares. Hermione told me since I've been gone Harry's been struggling with his nightmares. I've helped him relax and sleep but sometimes it gets unbearable for him. Especially when he's at the Dursleys. I smiled sadly and texted back.

Mia💃🏻🎤: don't worry, I'm coming♥️

I quietly rolled out of bed and grabbed my wand from off the nightstand. I silently went to the boys's dormitory. Here I was, inside their room. Harry slightly jumped at my appearance. His hair was wet by sweatiness all over his neck, armpits and forehead. I smiled sadly and wrapped my arm around his shoulder. He breathed heavily. "Shh, take deep breaths. Breathe. It's alright. It's over." I whispered in a soothing voice. He focused on his breathing while laying his head on my shoulder. I rubbed his slightly wet hair. Harry inhaled one more breath and relaxed his shoulders. "Are you ok?" I whispered. He slowly nodded. We parted. "What was the nightmare about?" I whispered. He wiped sweat off his forehead. "Everything. Sirius, my parents and...you..." He trailed off shakily. My jaw dropped. Me? He had a nightmare about me? How? I looked at him confusedly. "Me? What do you mean me?" I whispered. He almost spoke until Ron shifted around his bed while sleeping. I mentally breathed a breath of relief. Tears fell from his eyes. "I just don't wanna lose you. You're the closest thing I have for a sister. You saved my life when I was getting beaten by my uncle..." He trailed off. He covered his face to cry and I hugged him. He hugged back tightly. "You won't lose me. Not ever. And I'll always be your lifesaver. Thanks for being the closest thing for a brother." I whispered in his ear. He sniffled as we parted. I waved my wand, making a mug of hot tea appear in his hands. Harry smirked. "Thanks." He mumbled. I chuckled and comforted him till we went to bed.
