Chapter 10 ****Edited*****

Chapter 10 *****Edited*****

            Christmas morning I woke up to Dora bouncing on my bed like she was my age instead of eighteen telling me to wake up because it was Christmas. Still in my pajamas, I wrapped myself in my dressing gown and Dora did the same and together we woke up Aunt Droma, Uncle Ted, and Uncle Remus the same way that Dora woke me up by jumping on their beds yelling at them to wake up because it was Christmas.

            Once Uncle Remus, Uncle Ted, and Aunt Droma were both awake the five of us quickly ate a breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes before we gathered in the sitting room in front of the fire and the beautifully decorated Christmas tree that had dozens of Christmas presents below it. Uncle had brought all of the gifts that my friends had sent to me here with us as well as the gifts he bought for me and the ones I bought for him and for Aunt Droma, Uncle Ted, and Dora and there were more from  Uncle for the two of them and from them to us.

            Uncle Ted, Aunt Droma and Dora loved the gifts that I got for them and uncle loved the gifts that I had given him and when he saw the potions ingredients he had asked me about them and when I told him that I was learning how to make the potion to help him with his transformation he actually got tears in his eyes and hugged me tightly. Uncle gave me sweets, a new charm of a Quaffle for my charm bracelet and more photos to add to my picture books and Aunt Droma, Uncle Ted and Dora gave me books, jokes, and sweets.

Professor McGonagall gave me an advanced transfiguration spell book and Snape actually gave me a potions book that had some notes written in it. Ron and the Weasley twins sent me sweets and more jokes, Hermione sent me some muggle books, the same quill that I had gotten for her as well as ink and parchment as well as a broom servicing kit and I even got a gift from Mrs. Weasley of homemade fudge and a knitted dark blue sweater with a grey G on it that matched my eyes. Dumbledore sent me a few pairs of socks that were self-warming for the harsh Brittan weather.

            Honestly, my most favorite gift of all though was given to me from Harry. Harry like everyone else gave me sweets as well as some jokes but he also gave me a beautiful bracelet that looked like it cost a fortune. It was made of silver had had some kind of black and dark blue stones in it. Starting at the clasp was a black stone and then a heart followed by a blue stone and a heart and the pattern continued all the way around.

            The rest of the day passed quickly as did the rest of the holiday. Dora and Aunt Droma took me to my vault with Uncle Remus while Uncle Ted stayed home reading his new books so that I could look around more and since they were with me this time I decided to look at the older things more than the things that my parents had added to the vault this time around. Aunt Droma had explained about the Black family history and about my grandfather Orion Black and grandmother Walburga Black who both died sometime before I was born.

            Apparently, both of my grandparents like most of my father's side of the family were all about blood purity and most of them were even big supporters of Voldemort but neither of my grandparents were. My grandparents had apparently disowned my father when he decided to fight against Voldemort instead of with him even though they weren't his followers but my Uncle, however, joined Voldemort and my grandparents praised and loved him more for it but he was later killed by Voldemort himself for deciding later to betray Voldemort and I felt pride for my Uncle when I heard that.

            My vault was filled with items that told the history of the Black family really from the start to now. For the most part, Aunt Droma knew what most of the things were but there were some that she didn't know but she said that she would look into it and try and find out for me. I was fascinated with my family history and I wanted to spend more time looking in my vault and learning of my ancestors but there wasn't enough time during the Christmas holiday for that and soon enough I was meeting with Hermione on the train where we went back to Hogwarts to see that Harry and Ron didn't have any luck in finding Nicholas Flamel.
