-Christmas Eve-

Isabella rolled out of bed and walked into the empty common room where Joe was sitting curled up with a Christmas book. There was a small tree in the corner covered in fairy lights and balls which had swirly patterns in. The rest of the common room also included some other decorations. The Hogwarts’ grounds were covered with a few inches of snow. Isabella sat down in front of the roaring fire on the floor.

Lifting her heads on up, she placed them in front of the fire to get warm. Grabbing her wand she cast a few simple spells and a house elf appeared. Joe looked up realising another presence in the room and raised his eyebrows.

“I asked them if they would come if I cast a certain spell and they do. Can I have two chocolate and some cookies.” Isabella asked. Soon Hermione, Harry, Ron and the twins appeared before the elf disappeared Isabella said “Make that seven hot chocolates and a lot more cookies.” The elf nodded and went back to the kitchens.

The seven of them lounged around the Ravenclaw common room waiting for the hot chocolates to come back and made a small talk but most of them being half asleep while doing so. Isabella entered up being in a twin sandwich and on the sofa she was sitting in between Fred and George.

Soon the hot chocolates arrived along with plenty of cookies, all began to indulge in the early morning treat rather than going to the Great Hall this early since there were only a few students staying here.

“How did you guys enter the common room? After all you do have answer a riddle.” Isabella questioned.

The twins replied “We are smarter than we look.”

She rolled her eyes at them. Hermione replied “I answered it. The sorting hat considered putting me in Ravenclaw but decided on Gryffindor.”

Isabella nodded and smiled. After half an hour of eating and making light hearted conversation. They went to the Great Hall to get some decent breakfast. They all crowned onto the one table that was in the centre of the Great Hall. Laughing and joking. The teachers joined them and joined the conversation. Although they were all still Professors they had become relaxed around these students and had let them trespass into each other common rooms since there was only a few of them.

Dumbledore was sitting next to Isabella and she turned to him intending on starting a conversation before she could.

“Miss Potter how are you?”

“Fairly well Professor. How are you?” Isabella politely replied.

The old man’s eyes were twinkling. “Fine. But thinking we need to continue our meetings since you benefited extremely well from the last one. I will send you a note when is a good time to come to my office.” Dumbledore replied.

She nodded her head and finished off her breakfast before leaving the Great Hall and wandering off to the empty library leaving the other six behind. Shortly after, Joe entered and retorted “I am not letting you study on Christmas Eve. We having a snowball fight with all the others.” Dragging Isabella down the staircases of the Hogwarts’ castle until they reached the grounds where they were ambushed with snows.

Isabella quickly transfigured her clothing into something more suitable and create a pile of snowballs beside her before running to hide behind a tree and pelting everybody as she went. Joe did exactly the same and ran in the opposite direction.

The pair winked at each other and both sprang into action. Pelting the others with snowballs as they swapped positions and hide before anybody could notice. The others looked around failing to find them. Realising they were going to lose. Isabella quickly created a snow wall and she and Joe hide behind it and through snowballs from behind. The others quickly copied them and soon there was full blown snowball fight. Everybody was soaking wet and freezing cold as they entered the castle.

There laughter filled the corridors and they all went to remove their wet clothes and replace them with new ones after having a long hot bath to warm up.

The rest of the day was spent chatting and talking. When evening began to dawn on them, they all went to their common rooms. Agreeing they would meet in the Gryffindor one in the morning to exchange their presents.

Isabella and Joe sat alone in the Ravenclaw common room in front of the fire. They both sat there and watched as it the flames danced as the clock ticked down until midnight. As the time began to pass, Isabella soon dozed off into a relaxing sleep on the sofa covered by a warm blanket.

Joe sat there watching the time pass on the clock. He glanced over at Isabella as the time began to pass. Soon it was almost midnight. He gently shook her to awaken her from her deep slump. She opened her eyes and groaned slightly.

“Joe?” She murmured.

“It’s almost midnight. The house elves brought some hot chocolate and cookies.” He replied

She smiled and readjusted herself. The clock chimed signalling it was officially Christmas Day.

“Merry Christmas Joe.” Isabella said, handing him a wrapped gift.

Slowly removing the paper, it began to reveal a new pair of Quidditch gloves and a book on Quidditch. He smiled warmed and handed her his present.

Isabella removed the paper to reveal a set of books on Charms. She smiled warmly and hugged him. They both walked over to the tree and removed the presents from Sue.

Handing each other the gifts together they unwrapped them to reveal a box of homemade chocolate cookies with a muggle book onto. After the exchange of the few presents they each had they both went their separate ways and back to bed.

Early the next morning both of them came down the stairs dressed in warm jumpers and comfortable clothes. Picking up the pile of presents for the others they wandered to the Gryffindor common room where they met Harry, Ron, Hermione, the twins and Percy.

They sat in a circle and began exchanging all their presents with each other. Afterwards Isabella had ended up with a book from Hermione, a pranking kit from the twins, a box of jelly beans from Ron, and a new collar for her cat which was covered in random patterns from Harry. As well as this she had gotten a jumper from Mrs Weasley which had a giant I in the middle of it.

Isabella politely thanked everybody and began writing a letter to Sue and Molly to thank them for her gifts. After running to the Owlery and letting it being delivered, she entered the Great Hall for the Christmas dinner, talking a seat next to Joe, she sat there and sat her weight in food before going make to the common room and spending the entire afternoon playing wizard’s chess and exploding snap and eating more chocolate than she thought was even humanly possible.

That evening she sat in her dormitory alone thinking about how she had had the best Christmas ever after finally spending it with people she thought as family and enjoying everything that had happened, also she couldn’t help but think that the Hogwarts’ food was so much better than everything back home.

She readjusted the collar around her cat’s neck, Nexus. Nexus curled up with her in the bed and they pair drifted off into a deep sleep.
