silent sun

Christmas

it was Christmas morning, but it wasn't exciting like when Audrey was a kid.

she was much more excited about the ball, in true teenage girl fashion.

she sat up in her bed, and saw a sleeping luna.

she couldn't wake her, she looked so peaceful.

she looked to the clock on the wall, and realized it was only 7am

Audrey climbed out of bed quietly, and walked to her bathroom,

she slid her pants off, and began to pee.

"fuck," she scoffed, seeing her blood soaked underwear.

she got undress and hoped in the shower, rinsing any blood off.

she left her bathroom, just a towel around her.

she began brushing through her hair, happy to finally have both arms.

she had taken her splint off the morning before, and it was making her life a lot easier.

but her arm felt different, almost like it wasn't hers.

she slipped on a pair of pajamas and slippers, and grabbed the bag of presents she had.

she had wrapped all of them yesterday, since she had been waiting till she could take off her splint just to make it easier.

she walked through the empty corridors in her pajamas, all the way to the owlery.

she knew she should just buy her own owl, but she didn't want it to just be cooped up in her room all summer.

so she used the schools owls, and sent each gift out.

except Ron's, she decided to give that to him personally.

she didn't know why, but she just wanted to see his face while he opened it.

she walked back to her dorm, seeing a few of her professors out, but no classmates.

she opened the door quickly, trying her hardest not to wake luna.

when she got inside, they're was a gift bag laying on her bed.

Audrey quickly realized how it got there, looking to the open window.

she walked to the bag, reading the tag.

from - lacy (and isa)

she smiled at her aunt's beautiful handwriting.

she pulled the gift paper out, and began to look through the bag.

there was a pack of hair clips, pink white and beige.
then a pack of chapstick, one was gingerbread flavored, and one was peppermint. a refill of Audrey's favorite perfume, and a tiny bag.

she picked up the bag, and pulled the strings apart.

it was a new charm, for her golden bracelet that lacy had bought her so many years ago.

she smiled at the kind gesture, before taking the bracelet of and attempting to put it on.

it was a broom, now Audrey didn't understand why a muggle would want a broom on their bracelet, but she sure did.

it was perfect, it looked just like her broomstick.

she got ready, doing her makeup for the day even tho she knew she would just redo it that night for the ball.

luna woke up just as Audrey was finished.

"it's snowing," luna muttered, looking out the window.

Audrey's head turned away from her vanity mirror, and to the window, watching the white snow drip down.
