2nd year: Happy Christmas

Ah at last Christmas time.

Just before Christmas arrived, I could see the snow falling outside the window and all the teachers getting all the decorations put up.

I woke up feeling oddly cozy, but remembering I had to get packed for going home for the holidays.

I remembered Harry, Ron, and Hermione were almost done with the Polyjuice potion, so maybe they'll be able to do that while I'm gone.

"Caroline," I groggily said.

"Hm?" She answered.

"We've got to get packing, the train leaves in a few of hours to take us back home for the holidays."

"mmmmhm," She groaned.

"Carolineeee," I urged.

She didn't appear to be moving though, so I stretched and got myself woken up, then walked over to her bed, and started shaking her.

"MHMM," She said with me shaking her. "Alright, alright I'm going!"

She hopped out of bed, grabbed her winter sweater and skirt, then went into the bathroom.

When she got out, I grabbed a thick sweater, and a skirt, and headed to the bathroom to change.

After changing, I did my hair, and brushed my teeth.

I came out and Caroline and I started packing.

After about 15 minutes, we were done, and decided to go get some breakfast.

We went out to the Great Hall and sat down. We grabbed some breakfast.

"Oh how I'd LOVE to see what the full Christmas looks like at Hogwarts!" I exclaim.

"I know! Maybe my mum will let me stay next year for it, so we could be here for the feast." Caroline said.

"Yeah! My mum just really wants the family to be together. But I hope to be able to spend a nice cozy Christmas with my friends at Hogwarts at least one of these years," I say.

Caroline agreed.

When we finished our breakfast, we were deciding if we should play out in the snow before we have to leave, when we bumped into Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

"Oh, hey guys!" I said.

Caroline waved.

"Hey! Please tell me you're staying for Christmas this year!" Hermione begged.

"I'm REALLY sorry 'Mione, but my mom wants me back home for the holidays." I say.

"Darn it! We could've really used your help on-that- that thing we were working on," Hermione said, glancing at Caroline.

"Oh come on "Mione, we can trust Caroline, I know it!" I said.

She glanced at Harry and Ron, who exchanged looks.

"Uh well basically we're brewing Polyjuice potion for a mission we're going on," Harry explained.

"Polyjuice potion? For what? And is this going to be like the mission you went on last year?" Caroline asked.

"Uh that part's kinda secret, besides we don't really know much about our plan yet anyway. We do know we're going to change into Crabbe and Goyle to sneak into the Slytherin common room to get information out of Malfoy," Harry stated.

"Oh ok. I promise not to tell anyone,"

"Great!" Hermione said.

"We were just thinking about playing in the snow for a bit before we have to leave. Did you want to come?" I asked them.
