I want to finish converting this, so when I have time, I'll be converting chapters.

Two days...that was all the time they had left before they broke off for Christmas and they all had to part company, some worried about this more than others. Camila was going back to a family Christmas which seemingly included people her family had only smiled at once in the market! There were over a hundred people going to be present, part of her dreaded it and part of her couldn't wait to find out new things about her family

Normani was having a quiet family at home with her parents and her brother. She didn't see her older brother very often, he was already an Auror and worked all over the country so she was looking forward to being able to quiz him mercilessly about the work he did. And yet she also found it bittersweet, because of course she would have loved for Dinah to join her but the blonde was predictably busy with her own family.

Lauren simply dreaded it, not so much because of her father's temper, he had to date never lost his temper around Christmas time. In fact if anything he seemed to cheer up and mellow out, so even as a child the seasonal break had been one of her favorite holidays. But she would miss her friends, more than she could ever admit, if Dinah found out she would cry, Normani would get embarrassed and have to do something the opposite of mushy like challenge her to an arm wrestle...and then there was Camila.

Every time she thought about the little Gryffindor she felt her limbs relax at the same time as they itched to feel the smaller girl in her arms. It may have only been a few months for them but somehow Lauren just knew it was all she needed, well if she was honest it took one conversation to get her attention, one smile to hook her in, one date and she was done for, she belonged to Camila Cabello and she was more than okay with that. The fact she would have to make a very important decision soon regarding her love of Camila versus her family ties was something she tried not to think too much about.

Currently, she was lying on the floor of a small storage room they had found in the Astronomy tower, Dinah had come across the room and after asking Professor Lovato about it, the dark haired woman had peered inside and confessed she didn't even know it was there. At Dinah's excited exclamation Demi had agreed that they could use it for whatever they wanted so long as it didn't get them, and subsequently her into trouble.

Which is why with two days to go before heading home, she was lying breathless on the floor after having gotten into a wrestling match with Normani over whether the tree they had manhandled up there should have a Snitch or a star on top of it. The oldest Latina had won, but only just and as she put the star on, she smirked at the pouting Slytherin who looked back at her grumpily.

"You totally cheated Jauregui, ref calls foul!"

Lauren smirked and levering herself up onto her elbows managed a shrug.

"Not my fault, you should talk to Dinah, after all she's the one who overshares your sex life with me, which by the way you will be getting my therapy bill for. I just happened to remember your weak spot and it's like uh...Colonel someone or other once said, know thy enemy's weakness!"

"Colonel something or other? And besides that so does not excuse you biting my ear in the middle of a wrestling match, total foul and that's undisputed."

Lauren lay back down and tucked her folded hands under her head as she smirked up at the star twinkling merrily on the tree.

"Well then it's a shame that there wasn't a referee about isn't it? Hence no foul was called until after the score was finalized, sorry Kordei, you snooze you lose!"

There was a rustle of sound and Lauren looked up to see what was going on, she rolled her eyes as Normani enchanted the streamers to spell out 'Lauren sucks!" she snorted and lay back down.
