"What is that?" Ariana asked. She has never seen a peculiar plant with white berries.

"A mistletoe," Amata replied as they walked on Godric Hallow. "The plants berries are poisonous if you eat them. They serve as potion ingredients such as forgetfulness potion. They do symbolize as a decoration during this time of year. There are couples who are forced to kiss each other if you are underneath it." Amata explained the significance of a Mistletoe.

"Kiss?" Ariana didn't know people needed to kiss under a plant.

"Yes. I know sounds odd and unpleasant to force your lips onto someone."

Ariana looked at Amata," Have you kissed someone?" She asked.

"Thank heavens no! I did had boys in Ilvermorny tried that trick on me. I made sure I burned it in front of them. I even made sure a boy name Sawyer Greene kissed his friend on the mistletoe," Amata laughed at the end. Ariana giggled; knowing her friend would do such prank.

"Tell me, Ari. Have you had your first kiss?" Amata questioned got her a bit flustered. She has had her first kiss with Gellert.

"I—" Ariana tried to speak but then a blonde boy opened the cottage door to exit.

"Silver!" His eyes widened.

"G—G—Gelley?" Ariana face turned all red.

"Thank goodness, you are home. Albus is worried," Gellert quickly hugged her.

Then, Gellert angrily looked at Amata, she smirked at the sight of them being close. Ariana walked inside to inform her big brother of her arrival. While Amata simply walked herself in, followed by Gellert.

"I'm home!" She hugged her worried brother. Albus embraced her, no longer worried about her.

"See, I told you! You have nothing to worry," Aberforth stood up to head to his room.

"Amata," Aberforth gave her a slight nod.

"Aberforth, you seem terrible," Amata notice remained in a foul mood.

"Thanks," he raised his mug before taking the steps.

Albus began to complain, however he was ignored by Amata. "Honestly, if I knew you were going to yell at me. I would have kept her in my home. I would have my parents adopt her as my sister," Amata said. Her words didn't calm Albus.

"You have no right to take her!" Albus remained pissed.

"You have no right to choose her life! Ariana is a young maiden, she can make her own choices. You, as her brother shall support and advise. Not make a choice for her. By locking her up in this depressed dump."

"This is my house! I am the man of this house!" Albus stood on ground.

Amata laughed," a man? I see no man. A simple boy, yes! A boy, afraid to recognize his mistake. A real man, faces it." Ariana had no fear in any man against her.

Amata grabbed Ariana's hand," I have to go back to America to visit my family. I will write to you. If anything trouble, I will come to help. I truly enjoyed our girl time," Amata looked at Albus with a resented expression.
