The Emeralds & The Sorcerers Stone

8. Detention

The students usually leave for winter holiday on the 20'th but since Aliyah and Rose got detention they had to stay behind. Staying behind also ment not being home for Christmas.
Students could choose weather they went home for winter holiday or not, but most choose to go home to their families.
Since Pansy went home for Christmas, Aliyah and Rose could share a room.
Astoria also stayed at Hogwarts but she decided it was best to not interact with Rose or Aliyah.

Days went by as slow as ever and both Aliyah and Rose grew more homesick.
The days they spent in detention were repetitive and felt almost as a routine, they woke up, ate breakfast, spent some time wondering around the castle, went to detention for 2 hours, ate supper then went to their room.
The seventh day of detention was Christmas day. They got presents, sent in by their parents, but it didn't suffice.
They missed their families and their homes.
Aliyah got a new camera, so she could take pictures of her adventures, and a couple of warm winter clothes. Rose got a bunch of beauty supplies and some clothes.
For christmas they decided to spend some time with Harry and Ron, who decided to also stay at Hogwarts.
The four of them decided to hang out in the great hall, because the courtyard was freezing cold.
- A:"Hey Harry!" she said excitedly entering the hall
- H:"Hi Aly!"he said waving the girls over to the Gryffindor table
- R:"Hey guys!"
- Ron:"You guys have to try this chicken, its amazing!" he said filling his mouth with food
Aliyah quietly giggled as she looked at Ron stuffing his face.
Astoria glared at the two girls from the slytherin table, muttering the word "mudblood" under her breath.
The girls glared back at Astoria, giving her the meanest and dirtiest look they could.
Snape decided to let them roam around the castle instead of having detention so that's exactly what Aliyah and Rose did.
They spent most of their day playing in the courtyard, building snowmen and havin snowball fights with Ron and Harry.

On new year's day Hogwarts had a beautiful firework display that amazed anyone who saw it.
On that same day Aliyah was valled in Snapes office.
- P.S.:"Miss Hazelwood...have a seat."
- A:" Is everything alright professor?"
- P.S.:"How well do tou get along with miss Parkinson and miss Granger?"
- A:"Their my best friends, whats that got to do with anything?"
- P.S.:" I've sopken to both your and miss Greengrass' parents and i belive the smartest choice is to move you in miss Parkinsons room.
- A:"really?! Thank you professor!!"
After Aliyah left Snapes office, she ran and told Rose the great news.
Rose helped her move everything she had from Astorias dorm. Once everything Aliyah had was brought to the new dorm, a bed, bedside table and wardrobe appeared next to the window.
