Far From Home//Hogwarts

Chapter 7

On Christmas morning, Effie and Silas sat in the Slytherin common room, Effie read a book and Silas was quietly strumming on his guitar. It was peaceful, the snow was falling slowly outside, the black lake was frozen and the snow looked like a soft pillow.

"Okay" Silas sighed, putting his guitar down "I'm bored, do you wanna do something?"

Effie put her book down on her lap "I guess so, what do you wanna do?"

"Sneak out to Hogsmeade?" Silas asked, tilting his head with a mischievous grin

꧁𓊈𒆜~~~𒆜𓊉꧂

Effie and Silas walked through the colorful streets of Hogsmeade, Silas walked with his hands in his pockets while Effie had her hands in her heavy jacket.

Silas smiled at girls he walked past who would giggle with each other, Effie only laughed at the girl who then gave her a dirty look for just walking with him

"Looks like you have a fanbase" Effie laughed as they continued walking

"Shut up" Silas laughed "Can we go into the guitar shop? I need new strings"

"Yeah" Effie shrugged "But, after that we're going to get some sweets, it is Christmas after all, and I have to see Harry too"

"Deal" Silas said, before running into the muggle shop, Effie sighed and walked in after him

꧁𓊈𒆜~~~𒆜𓊉꧂

After Effie and Silas both went to visit The Gryffindor common room to see Harry and give him his Christmas present

Effie and Silas walked in the room and saw Harry and Ron gushing over a cloak Harry had gotten from an unknown person, Effie immediately recognized the cloak and sucked in a deep breath

Silas noticed Effie's pale face and lightly nudged her arm "Hey, you okay?"

"Mhm" Effie mumbled before putting on a smile "Hey, Haz. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, Ron"

"Effie!" Harry said in excitement "Look at this cloak, someone said Dad left it in their possession!"

Effie smiled softly as Harry handed her the cloak, the cloak she use to steal from her dad to hide so she didn't have to eat her vegetables

She remembered how soft it felt and how warm it was "I haven't seen this in years"

"It turns me invisible!" Harry smiled widely

"It's bloody brilliant" Ron said, stuffing his face with chocolate

Silas frowned at the sweater the red head was wearing, before turning his attention back to Effie's faint smile as she held the cloak in her hands

"Did Dad use to wear it?" Harry asked

Effie smiled and nodded "He would wear it when he was in trouble with Mum"

"What did he get in trouble for?" Harry asked

Effie sat down on the couch and Harry back the cloak "Well, there was a time when you were 8 months old and Dad put you on a broom, he also taught me to prank people. Like our uncles when they would come over"
