Orphan Witch

Chapter Eleven

I feel someone keep shaking me over and over again. I try to sway them away.

"Get up lazy bum," I hear Cedric laugh. "It's Christmas."

I sit up and stretch.

"What are doing in here?" I ask him.

"Good morning to you too C."

"Get out," I yell and point at the door. Cedric laughs and puts his hands in the air like he surrenders. He exits the room and I quickly change into a green sweater and jeans. I head downstairs. In the middle of the room is a tree with some presents. Cedric is waiting for me.

"Happy Christmas," he says. I smile and run to give Cedric a hug. He hugs back. He pulls away and hands me a box.

"For real?" I ask him. He nods his head and smirks. I open it to see a fairytale book.

"Thank you," I say. "I only was able to write you a letter."

"The fact you wrote it is what matters."

I give it to him and he reads it.

"Thank you," he says. "Now lets finish opening our presents."

We sit next to each other and open the presents. The entire time laughing and being silly. I wish this day can last forever.

I watch students running around and I know the year gets closer to an end. I look back at the board and finish the potion. You don't not know what I would give to be in DADA right now. Snape goes around, checking the process of everyone. He stops at my cauldron.

"Did you include everything?" He asks.

"Yes sir."

He walks away from me and dismisses class, ordering us to leave the potions. I walk out and see three friends of mine. I head over to them. Ron is arguing with Hermione while Harry is just listening.

"Hey," I say.

"Hey C," all three say at the same time.

"Can you help us?" Harry asks. "We need to get under a trap door. But we can't play music."

"And you think I can?" I ask. He nods his head.

"I hate you," I say.  "Fill me in."

"We need to stop Snape from getting the Sorcer's stone," Hermione tells me. "And the music will put the watch dog to sleep."

"Deal. Just get me when you need me."
