As the days grew colder the number of attacks increased. Everyday more and more students were signing up to go home for Yuletide, unfortunately Draco and I were not among them. Father and Cissy would not be home for the Yule holidays.

Instead they'd be in Norway for a charity ball. As much as I wanted to go, they wouldn't take me because the Norway Wizarding World is an extremely dangerous place. They're in the middle of a war and things were apparently out of control.

This meant that despite our many complaints, Draco and I were forced to spend the holidays at Hogwarts. "You'll spend Yule with your Uncle Sev," Father said when I flooed him last night. So with annoyance I watched as my friends left to catch the train.

"Don't be too upset, you'll still go to the Yule Ball on Saturday," Marcus said giving me a quick peck on the cheek. I nodded my agreement. "You have Harry here too," he points out, "you'll finally get to spend Yule with both your brothers, just like you've always wanted." I smiled at that.Even when Mum was still living I've never had a Yule with both Harry and Draco.

It's always been separate because James insisted on celebrating the muggle holiday Kistmask. I'd spend the first part of Yule with my mother, who would take me to do all the Yuletide traditions for those days. After that I'd go to my fathers and leave Mum and James to have their Kistmask. Now that I have both my brothers back I finally have my chance to spend Yuletide with both of them.

"Shouldn't you be getting on the train?" An annoying voice asked, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Shouldn't you?" I snapped back. Fred and George Weasley were both glaring at me. "If you must know, Draco and I are staying here for Yule, as our parents will be attending a charity event in Norway," I huffed. "Shame you couldn't join them, I'd love to see you get blown up," he snarked. "Well I guess, once again, your wishes won't be granted," I smirked as I walked away.

Draco and I spent the first night in Uncle Sev's quarters going over what we'd do for Yule. We'd start our traditions today with the other Slytherins who were staying, all the students staying from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, and a select few from Gryffindor. Professor McGonagall picked the few from that house that she trusted not to sell us out.

This year I had begged them to invite Harry, and they agreed. I was hoping he would agree if I personally invited him so I decided I'd find him myself before the event. Luckily today's event wouldn't be until later tonight though, so I had extra time to find Harry.

I finally found Harry in the library with Hermione and Ron. "Harry!" I exclaimed as I saw him. "Hey Lucia," he said. "How's your Yule going so far?" I asked. "What's Yule?" He asked. "The winter solstice?" I asked. He shook his head. "Then what do you celebrate?" I asked. "Christmas," he said. "Kistmask?" I asked. He explained about Kistmask to me and I explained Yule to him, Ron, and Hermione.
