"You girls should know that Hagrid's Hippogriff Buckbeak is on trial." Remus tells on one of the holiday breaks. "Sorry girls but I have to go into town before Christmas."

We visited Hagrid to tell him if he needed any help at all we'd be there.

Of course the full moon landed on Christmas Eve. Izzy and I ran out to the forest to give Sirius's food. Before we joined Moony.

Once we got Moony calmed down we all cuddled because even with fur it was cold. Izzy and I have our heads in Moony's lap his werewolf self petting us as gently as he can. We all fall asleep. The next morning we go to our apartment and sleep once again.

We wake up around noon. We all meet up in our living room. "You girls can invite your friends to join us for a movie in a couple days." Remus offers

"Moony I know you aren't up for doing much but please come open gifts and eat." Izzy says pouting at him

"Please Moony we're all tried but let's do this then sleep. Izzy and I are doing the gift exchange with our friends tomorrow." I tell him

"Okay girls. Let's do gifts." He chuckles softly

After we all sit down near our piles we start opening our gifts.

From Mrs. Weasley Izzy and I each open a knit sweater in our house colors with our first initials on the front.

From Izzy I got some sweets and some clothes.

From Moony I got some sweets and some new earrings and a photo album full of picture's from when my parents were in school. And some from my mother's childhood. And a stuffed werewolf.

Moony got some new clothes from both Izzy and I. As well as two pairs of shoes. And of course sweets.

Izzy got some sweets from both of her parents and some clothes from me. She got a sweater that she was really wanting from Moony.

We all go to bed not long after passing out almost immediately.

The next day we let Moony sleep and leave him a note saying we went to meet up with our friends.

We meet up with everyone in the Great Hall. Both of us in our sweaters from Mrs. Weasley both having long sleeves shirts underneath and some jeans and boots.

I plop down next to George and Fred on the other side of him, Izzy across from me. Cedric and Annalise come in not long after us. Annalise sits next to Fred and Cedric next to Izzy.

"Hey guys sorry Remus was sick and we wanted to spend Christmas just us three like always." Izzy says

"Oh, don't worry love." Cedric says to Izzy.

Hermione comes and sits next to me. "Harry got a fire bolt for Christmas but we don't know from who. So I told Professor McGonagall who took it to make sure it's safe. So Ron hates me even more." She huffs out next to me. I Look down to see Ron glaring at Hermione.

"Oh Mione, It'll be okay." I tell her wrapping my arms around her. "He's always been like this. Give him time."

"Really?" She asks

"Yeah Little Ronnie's always been like this." I tell her

"Mae Mae is not wrong. It's actually really rare that she is." George says Fred nodding agreeing with him

"Oh I got a letter apparently where dad lives they all think I'm 13."

"Really?" I ask her shocked

"Yeah apparently. But to be fair I haven't been there in years." She says before we start talking about something else.

We were in the middle of talking about our pets or dream pets when Ron walks over and interrupted us "Oh has Hermione told you about her Beast attacking Scabbers?"

"No but Ron Crookshanks is a cat." I tell him

He glares and storms off we all shake it off once he's gone and go back to talking.

They came up two days before break starts to watch a movie although it was a lot of explaining what a movie is and how it works to the Pure-Bloods.

We ended up watching the live action How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Everyone seemed to enjoy it.
