Atlas signed up to stay at Hogwarts during Christmas break. He was the only one in his dorm when he awoke Christmas morning. He slowly got out of bed and changed into a black button-up shirt and black slacks and he slipped a few things into his pockets. He sighed and left his dorm to find the common room empty. Wasn't surprising as almost every student went home for the holidays. Atlas walked over to the tree and noticed presents under it. He looked at the name tags and found a present. He assumed it was from Draco, though that would be odd because they haven't spoken. The wrapping paper was sparkly red, which would be a weird choice from Draco. He flipped the tag over and saw who it was from, H.P. He smiled and quickly unwrapped the oddly wrapped present.

He took out the odd looking item. It was black with four silver wheels on the bottom. The top of it was rough as he ran his hand over it. He turned it over to see a striped pattern with his initials on the bottom. Atlas looked at it strangely and noticed a piece of paper on the floor. He picked it up and read it.

Atlas,

Happy Christmas! I'm not sure if the Wizarding World has skateboards, but I thought you'd enjoy it either way. If you're not sure how to use it, I can help you. And since Malfoy left for the holidays, if you'd like, you can hang out with me in the Gryffindor common room. The password is "Caput Draconis".

-Harry

Atlas smiled and put the letter down. He picked up the skateboard and headed towards the Gryffindor common room. He got some strange looks from the few passing students, but he didn't bother to pay much attention. He walked up 7 flights of stairs and found the Fat Lady's portrait.

"Caput Draconis."

"You're not a Gryffindor," She said, staring at the boy.

"Yes, but I have the password, don't I?"

"Very well."

The portrait flung open and he went inside. He looked around and his eyes landed on a red-headed boy in front of the fireplace. He turned around to look at Atlas. "What the hell are you doing in here?"

"I invited him." Harry popped up from the other side of the couch.

Atlas could see Ron didn't want him there. "I could leave, it's alright."

"But then you'll be alone. No one should be alone on Christmas."

Atlas looked at Ron. "Alright, fine. He can stay," He mumbled.

Atlas smiled and walked over to the boys. "I'm sorry I didn't get you anything for Christmas."

"It's alright," Harry chuckled, offering the boy a chocolate frog.

"Thanks," He said, taking it. "What is this, by the way?" He asked, holding his skateboard out.

"Is that a muggle item?" Ron asked.

"Yeah, it's a skateboard," Harry answered. "Here, I can show you." Atlas gave him the board and Harry placed it on the floor. "So you stand on it like this." He put both of his feet on the board. "You keep your front foot on the board and use your back foot to push off." He pushed his back foot on the floor and the board started moving.

"Woah."

"I wanna try that!" Ron wailed.

Harry stopped and got off the board. He kicked the back of the board and picked it up. "That's up to Atlas."

Ron turned to Atlas with a pleading look. "Sure, go ahead."

Ron smiled and ran up to Harry. He took the board and did exactly what Harry had done. He pushed his foot a lot harder on the floor and went flying. "AHHHHH!" He screamed and collided with the wall. Harry and Atlas started laughing. "If you think it's so funny, then you give it a try," He grumbled. Ron got up off the floor and handed the board to Atlas.
