I just walked down the corridor to the stairs. Today is Christmas and no one is there. I went down the stairs. It was quiet. Only two house elves were running around in the kitchen. I sat down on the table. The house elves were putting breakfast on the table for me. "Thank you, do you know where my father is?" "We haven't seen him today" I started eating. When I was finished I went to the sofa and wrote a letter to Draco. "Hey Draco, Did you know that Mattheo is now a Death Eater? He apparently made it so that I could go back to Hogwarts, but there's more. I'm trying to find out. Hope you have a nice Christmas. Hopefully we'll see each other again soon. Your Y/N" I went to the door. The owl sat in its place. "Take this to Draco" I opened the door and the owl flew off. I went to my father's office. I knocked but got no answer. I tried to open the door. It was locked. He usually only locks it when there are meetings or strangers come into the house. I went back to the living room. I was alone. Completely alone. I sat down on the sofa. Penney was lying on the sofa. "penney is nagini there?" "No, she left very early today." "Do you know where?" " No" "Oh okay" "Do you want to go back to Hogwarts? I miss you there and I don't care what they say about it" "I can but will your father allow it" "That I'll take you with me? Definitely" "Do you think we'll spend Christmas alone?" "No, your father will come back. Don't worry about it so much." "He's been more there for his plans than for me lately anyway so why should he be there for Christmas?" "I have some faith in him. He'll come soon." We sat in the living room for over 1 hour. Until I decided to go boxing. I went up to the boxing room. Inside were two punching bags. Throw 1 disc for Dagger and much more. I put on my boxing gloves and started boxing. This kept improving my aggression. At some point I switched to throwing daggers. I always hit exactly in the middle. Just as I threw a dagger the door opened. A man came in. It was Toney. He caught the dagger perfectly. Toney was an old friend of my father who used to teach me how to box and throw daggers. “hey Y/n” "hey" I hugged Toney. "show me what you're capable of" He closed the door again. I threw the dagger and it stuck perfectly in the red. Toney smiled. "I taught you something good. How's boxing going?" "Very good. What are you actually doing here?" " A Christmas celebration. Your father organized the whole thing so that we can all get together again like we have in recent years." " who is there?" "Jordan, Marry, George and I. The other unfortunately don't come I quickly went to the door and opened it. " are you coming?" "Go ahead" I walked on the corridor and half ran to the stairs. Downstairs my father was sitting at the table with Marry, Jordan and George. They were definitely talking about something from their school days. When Marry saw me she immediately stood up. "Y/n how tall have you gotten please" She pulled me into a hug. "And how's Hogwarts going?" " Quite good so far" My father had to start laughing. " good?" "Yes, good" "If you leave out the attacks and everything then maybe" "Attacks by who?" "The Potter Boy or the Dementors" "You're with the Potter boy? I don't like him at all, he's only so famous because everyone thinks he survived the curse of death. He's the chosen one. None of that, he's just a complete idiot of a child who will be killed sooner or later" "Hey Y/n" Jordan and George said "You wouldn't believe how much I still have to tell you. We haven't seen each other in ages. I heard you have a werewolf as a professor? These people aren't allowed to teach children, so your headmaster is really stupid." "Marry, let her say something too" "Yes, she can too, but I'm talking to y/n and not to you" "Where is Toney?" "He stayed upstairs and actually wanted to come straight away" Marry and I sat down on the chairs. "When Toney comes down, shall we leave straight away?" Mary asked "Yes," said my father "I haven't been there in ages" " Where are we going?" I asked " surprise" Toney finally came back down. "What were you doing upstairs?" "I looked at your Dagger collection" "Oh, I'll just get Penney and then we can go." "Bring Nagini with you" said my father " yes" I went up the stairs and into the snake room. "Nagini, Penney, let's go" I lifted Penney onto my shoulder and she wrapped around my neck like a scarf. I placed Nagini on my shoulder. I went down the stairs and into the living room. "Two snakes. You seriously bought her one too. They're poisonous. How can you put her in danger like that? Look how it's around her neck. That's dangerous." Mary said I put my one hand on the table and Nagini snaked herself onto the table. I got Penney down and put her back over my shoulder normally like I always do. "Can Penney actually go back to Hogwarts with me?" "Yes, of course you just have to hide her until you're inside." "She is allowed to take this animal to Hogwarts, how dangerous" Jordan rolled his eyes. "Okay then, let's go." We apparated and came out at the hut. Marry opened the door and let us all in. "Actually it should be the other way around" I was back in the hut. The pictures were still hanging the same. In the corner there was now a Christmas tree with presents underneath.

There was something on the stove in the kitchen. Marry immediately got out her camera and took photos of the Christmas tree, the hut and us. "Should we take a group photo now or later?" "Now," said George. "Then we're done with it," said Jordan My father pushed me in front of him. "Always smile beautifully. She's never at peace when someone doesn't smile. Then it goes on forever." Marry put the camera on self-timer and stood next to Jordan. When a good photo was finally taken, we had food. "Finally there is something to eat" "Did she talk so much before?" I asked my father "Yes, if not more" "Oh dear" " you can say that again" We sat down at the table and brought the food. As always there was soup. "Now everyone has to open their presents" She gave me five gifts. There were new Daggers in three. In one were new boxing gloves. I opened the last one it was clearly from Marry. It had glitter. I opened it and it was a book. The title was 25 Ideas for a Safe Summer. There was also a pencil. " Thanks" I put on my best fake smile. When she turned around I showed the title to the others. Jordan started laughing out loud. I put the book on the table. "Should we watch old movies now?" "Good idea," said George Marry took out the CD. "I found Muggle thing that's supposed to enlarge everything" "Do you mean a projector?" Toney asked "Yes, exactly that" She turned it on and the film started playing. There was a strange man in the background - I didn't know this film. It must have been Filmed when I was three. "Who is the man in the background" "Ah that? That's Regelus Black" I noticed that Jordan and Georges were using their hands to signal Marry to be quiet. "Isn't that the one who has his dark mark removed? Is that what he looks like?" "You know this is just a rumor?" said my father. "Maybe it's just a rumor maybe it's true. Who knows" "I heard" She was interrupted by my father who looked at her angrily. "Come on Y/n, shall we watch the sunset outside?" George said I got up from the sofa. We went outside. "George be honest, what does this Regelus Black have to do with me? My dad is always like that when the name is mentioned around me but when I'm not there. He's mad. I accidentally mentioned him to someone else and he got angry. What did he do? Did he really take off his dark mark?" " y/n I don't know but I suspect no and I have no idea why he reacts differently to you, maybe your father is hurt. Regelus and your father used to be best friends. But then he betrayed him and ran away. Maybe he's too hurt to talk to you about it." We sat on the grass. The sun was actually just setting. Perfect alibi. There was still something wrong with these Black. After a while my father, Marry, Toney and Jordan came out and sat with us. We watched the darkness. "You know, when we were at school we used to go to the lake and just watch the sky," said George "Funny, every Slytherin does that" "Why are you doing that too?" "Yes, we even just spent one night in the Forbidden Forest." "My daughter here does a lot of forbidden things. It's a miracle she hasn't been kicked out yet." "They can't kick me out because otherwise they would have to kick out Potter too because he always does the same thing but he's the golden boy of Dumbeldor so he can't be kicked out." "Are you going to do something about this boy at some point?" Marry asked "Yes, next year you can come too, but you don't have to" "Tell us the date and we'll see if we can," said George "I can tell you straight away. Come with me" My father and everyone else stood up. I stayed seated and they went back into the hut.
