Lady Black (Sirius Black's Daughter)

A serpent for Christmass

The next few weeks passed fast and before you know it December arrived. Though there are a few mentionable items I must tell you before we go to the month of Christmass. For example, Harry, Fred and George got kicked out of the quidditch team. They had attacked another student. This was of course according to Umbridge. Any rational human being would have understood the circumstances. My dear cousin, Draco, had thought it acceptable to have a go at the Weasley family and at Harry's parents. Needless to say that the boys wanted to rip his head off. The female quidditch players of the gryffindor team managed to hold Fred back but no one was in time to stop Harry and George. Before they could do any real harm to Draco, Umbridge intervened and deemed it fit to ban them from the team, banning Fred as well because "he would have attacked as well if he hadn't been held back". The bloody hag is getting on my nerves. I wish I had been present when it happened but I was in my office to prepare my lessons. Perhaps I could have helped out...

On a more positive note, Hagrid returned. None of the students knew where he has been for the past two months but I do. Hagrid was given an assignment from the order to go persuade the giants to fight with us in this war rather than against us. His trip hasn't been very succesfull... I couldn't care less though at the moment. The fact that he's back is enough to make me overjoyed. He met Andrew and Anthony a few nights ago and I swear to everything holy, he couldn't have a more adorable reaction.

He spent two whole hours making funny faces at the little twins and lifting them up to play. It was so cute to see he could hold a baby in each hand. I think I might name a future kid after him. He's such a nice guy. Ruby for a girl would be nice right?

Not to worry, I'm not pregnant. I think... Charlie and I intend to wait with any more kids until after the wedding, looooong after the wedding. I love Anthony and I love Andrew but two is enough for the time being. Another kid right now would be the way to get my body to shut down. There is no time right now to shut down. There is a war coming and another important chapter of my personal life to develop. I'm becoming someone's wife for crying out loud!

I went dress-shopping with Molly and Dora a few days ago and I can't deny that I absolutely adore my dress. It's a strapless gown with a tight fitting bodice but a flowing princess like skirt. It's everything I've ever dreamed of! I can't wait to see Charlie's reaction as I walk down the aisle.

I'm getting carried away! I was going over the events of the last few weeks...

Ginny is the new Seeker for the Gryffindor team. Her brothers and Harry were surprised but if you know that she's been stealing their broomsticks to practise on ever since she was little, you could have seen it coming.

Ginny is like the little sister I always wanted but never had. It's kinda hard for your parents to get another child if one of them is dead and the other is in prison. Oh well, I've got Ginny now. We've been getting closer lately and I feel like I really know her which is why I couldn't miss the heartache in her face when Harry went to Cho after a DA meeting. She acts like she has moved on from her crush on him but every girl knows how hard it is to get over your first real crush. You never really do. Look at me for example, I'm marrying mine in the nearby future.

Harry is oblivious to her feelings though. I know he cares about her but he cares about her more because she's Ron's sister than out of romantic feelings. It was all the more clear when he told me he kissed Cho. Pour boy, his first kiss and the girl couldn't stop crying. It's hard of course. She's not over Cedric yet, but she also wants to move on. Umbridge is taking a piss on everyone and then there was that other thing, oh yeah, Voldemort is back! The girl has enough reason to be a little emotional.

I still remember my first kiss. It was the first holiday I spent with Charlie in Romania. We got caught under the misletoe and the rest is history. If I think about how far we've come since then it amazes me. In less than five years, we went from an innocent relationship of writing letters and sneaking glances to having children and about to be married. Life goes by fast, better make sure I don't miss it!

Not that everything in life is so enjoyable though...

Harry had a uhm, how should I put it? A vision perhaps? He got it in the form of a dream, nightmare. Yet he insisted it was real, saying it was Voldemorts and his connection that showed him the unsettling images. He says the dream started fine. Just a normal Holiday, teenage boy dream but then it changed to a darker setting where Arthur got attacked. By attacked I don't mean that he got stunned or something like that, no he was bitten repeatedly by a snake.

Harry had awoken to four panick stricken boys without a clue what to do. He had apparently tried to explain that Arthur was attacked but they all thought he had just dreamt it. Luckily Neville got McGonagall who believed him and brought him to Dumbledore. Afterwards she fetched me as I was the closest family Harry has on this school. I'm his sister. Perhaps not by blood but blood isn't the only thing that matters.

Point is that Dumbledore finally set things in motion so Arthur could be found and brought to St. Mungo's 'cause it really hadn't been a dream. Arthur was attacked and I honestly don't know whether he'll make it...

Sorry this chapter is kinda a filler. I haven't really been inspired for this story lately.
Also I've been sick and have been trying to catch up on missed schoolwork.
I'll try to give you a good chapter soon, normally before next wednesday as I'm going on holiday then.
I'll be gone from the 23rd till the 28th. So there will be no updates then.
Thanks for sticking with me! You're the best!

That's all! Lots of Love, misschiefmanaged
