Several weeks passed by and before I knew it, it was Christmas eve. I hadn't thought about the newspaper, with all the homework I had, it was impossible. Winter break was starting and many people were going home for the holidays but I had decided to stay at Hogwarts.
"Are you sure you don't want to come. My mum would be perfectly fine with it! I'm sure!" Karen exclaimed as we sat in the great hall. "We're having a huge family reunion, and I want you to meet everybody!"
"Thanks for the offer Karen, it's so sweet really, but you haven't asked and you're leaving tomorrow! I'm fine! I don't want to be a bother at your house."
"But you won't!"
"Still trying to get her to come over are you?" Fred showed up behind me with a grin on his face.
"Yes!" Karen exclaimed. Fred chuckled shaking his head and walked away.
"Fine, then I'll give you your present now." She pulled something out of her bag and handed it to me. I quickly dug in my bag for her present and handed to her. We both ripped open our presents eagerly. I had given her Bertiebott's every flavored beans knowing that she was begging for a pack for weeks but couldn't get the chance to buy them. Inside my package was a pretty blue scarf embroidered with snowflakes.
"AH THANK YOU TRESSA!" Karen squealed, "I finally get my candy!" I laughed.
"Your welcome, and I love the scarf. We all know my obsession." I said still laughing. I hugged Karen tightly the best I could from across the table. Just then, Kaitlin came running with Rose, Abby and Lilith right behind her.
"GUYS! Lilith got her first kiss!" Rose screamed excitedly as she sat down, her cheeks bright red from the cold and excitement. "They were talking in the hallway about how they were being seperated for Christmas break, and then he pointed out the mistletoe over them, and he kissed her! It wasn't even real mistletoe, but it was such a cute moment!"
"Wait....how did you know it wasn't real mistletoe? WERE YOU SPYING ON ME?!" Lilith exclaimed loudly, cheeks flaming with embarassment.
"Oh shoot.....of course not.....but....um........" Rose faltered off. Abby and Lilith face-palmed making me giggle.
"Awwwwwwwwww!" Karen squealed coming to Rose's rescue, "You and Jared make such a cute couple! It's so sweet how you guys are taking it slow and everything."
"You know who else would make a cute couple? Tressa and Brandon." I could feel my face turn hot.
"Rose!" I squeaked. She and Abby were the only ones who knew.
"You like Brandon? That's so cute!" Kaitlin said.
I sighed hoping they would shut up. Mostly cause Brandon was right there and I was scared he would over hear. He looked at me at that moment and smiled. I smiled back before looking away.
"Hey, heard you got your first kiss!" Stellar said coming up behind Lilith.
"How?" Abby asked giving her a weird look.
"I can hear Rose screaming from across the hall."
"Wow..." Lilith said glaring at Rose. Rose simply smiled and shrugged.
"So what are you and Abby doing this year? I know Rose is coming with us for the family party and Stellar is going home too." Karen asked curiously.
"We're both staying." Abby replied.
"Oh well you'll have each other to keep from the boredom." Kaitlin said with a giggle.
