Once the holidays started everyone's attention was off of me though nearly headless Nick had started pushing me to eat, not as much as he had the first night i was at Hogwarts but just enough to keep me from starving, I was thankful but didn't really show it.

On Christmas Eve I managed to fall into a semi peaceful sleep, hoping I'd get a present like I usually did. Oddly enough when at the Dursley's around Christmas time the emotional abuse would become more drastic and pointed more towards me. I always thought it was because they were stressed but every year on Christmas I would get one gift with a Stargazer Lily on it and a green bow. I never knew what the present was or who had sent it since uncle Vernon had always burnt it in front of me saying I didn't deserve a present for being a freak. It was one of the reasons I started to become depressed around Christmas. The same thing also usually happened a month before Harry and i's birthday, I'd get a present with the same Stargazer Lily and the same green bow and uncle Vernon would burn it, though I could tell he was just as confused as I was about the gifts because their didn't seem to be any special occasion for them besides Christmas.

When I woke up I noticed the small pile of presents at the foot of my bed and couldn't help the slight panic that overthrew the happiness in my heart for a moment but then I remembered I was at Hogwarts and nobody was going to burn my presents or abuse me and I calmed down, allowing a small smile to grace my face.

I got up and noticed right on top was a present with a yellow rose, blue hyacinth, purple hyacinth, an Iris and a blue salvia tied to a package with a blue bow. I knew it was from the person who had sent me the presents every year and my eyes were glued to it as I picked up the small bouquet. I had always loved flowers and the bouquet filled my heart with happiness as I hung it from my bed frame to dry it so it would last longer.

I then turned back to the package, that had no name and opened it to see inside was a new set of school robes and a small box that looked like it might contain jewellery, as soon as I picked it up I could feel the magical power coming off of whatever was in it. I opened the box to see a beautiful snake made out of what looked like gold. it's eyes were made from what looked like emeralds and they began to glow a bright green. as I picked it up, it seemed to come alive, I somehow knew it would become whatever I needed.

My smile widened as I said "could you please hold my hair in a pony tail?" It quickly slithered up my arm and into my hair, in seconds my hair was up in a pony tail with the beautiful snake holding it, it looked like an actual pony tail holder and it's eyes were no longer glowing but still had a beautiful emeralds color to them.

I changed into the robes quickly and discovered they were all black and as soft as silk, they fit like a glove and seemed to hide the fact that I'd gotten so skinny. As I looked at myself in the mirror I couldn't help thinking the robes looked a lot like professor Snape and I actually looked beautiful and elegant in them though my refection still didn't seem right, just like always, I always tried to avoid mirrors because of it.

I went back over to my other presents and the next one I opened was from Hagrid, it was a book called "Beasts of the Forbidden Forest." It made the smile on my face grow, Hagrid knew how much I loved the forbidden forest and he had gotten me a book about the creatures in it. When I opened it I realized it had many blank pages in the back and some of the pages had empty spaces, I chuckled knowing it was for me to continue the book.

The next gift was from Mrs. Weasley and it was a bright red handmade sweater with a large gold "C" on it. I changed out of my new school robes and put them away so they'd stay clean before putting the sweater on, it was warm and fuzzy and was so long it fit like a dress, I loved it. Mrs. Weasley had also sent me a very large amount of different pies with a letter telling me that I should make sure to eat lots of food so I can get healthy. I couldn't help thinking she was so nice even though she'd only met me once.

The last parcel was from harmione and it was a large collection of books on medicinal herbs, I thought it was sweet that she had noticed I loved plants as much as I did animals.

I met Harry in the Common room to give him the gift I'd made for him. It was a new pair of glasses that looked exactly like his old ones except I had done a couple spells on them so they wouldn't fall off and were basically unbreakable, I had also added a tracking charm to them so I would know where Harry was at all times. Harry hadn't gotten me a present but I didn't really care.

For the rest of the day I kept Mrs, Weasley's sweater on as a dress and That night I ate way too much at the feast and got lots of stuff from the wizard crackers and though Harry invited me to a snowball fight I was tired and just wanted to go back to my room and read the new book Hagrid had gotten me so I just told him to have fun and left the great Hall.

As I was walking threw the Halls I was lost in my own thoughts and didn't realize I was being followed until I felt someone yank my pony tail and I fell back onto my butt. a sharp pain ran up the base of my spine as I hit the cold hard floor. I didn't make a sound at the sudden attack or the pain. I had brittle bones from being so malnurished my entire life and they broke easily, being beaten regularly made it to where I almost constantly had a broken bone and was used to the intense pain.

I was kicked onto my back but just stayed silent as my head hit the floor hard. I didn't realize that the three girls that were attacking me had taken the snake from my hair and it's eyes were glowing brightly.

I could feel the blood seeping into my hair but didn't move to shield my injured head or retaliate as they kicked me. they seemed to be angry with me about something but I couldn't hear them over the ringing in my ears. I could see them though, as clearly as I could see Snape and dumbledore marching quickly towards us. I watched as the girls froze and their eyes filled with fear when they realized they had been caught.

My attention turned towards Snape who looked furious, I still couldn't hear what was being said but I could see dumbledore was just as angry as Snape though he had a better Handel on his emotions. Dumbledore laid his hand on snape's shoulder and gestured towards me as he said something that changed the anger in snape's eyes to fear and worry.

He moved towards me and picked me up carefully, after throwing a malicious glare towards the girls and began to walk, I couldn't really hold up my head because of the pain in my spine but I was still conscious so that was good. I didn't like the mix of negative emotions in snape's eyes as he carried me so I tried to smile and say "I'm fine, I've had worse." Truth be told that probably wasn't the best thing to say because the horror in his eyes only grew.

I hadn't really talked to anyone about how badly I was treated at the Dursley's, I didn't think it mattered very much so nobody really knew the amount of bullying I had received from Dudley and all the other muggles at school. nobody knew that I had been so underfed that I had passed out several times at school or that I would use myself as a human shield for Harry when other kids would try to beat him up. Nobody knew that I had to set my own broken bones and patch up my own wounds because I wasn't loved or cared for by anyone but Harry and I had never wanted him to know about all the pain I went threw to keep him safe so he didn't know about how easily my bones broke or how many times I passed out.

I sighed heavily as I was taken to the Sick Ward and looked over by madam pomfrey after she shooed Snape away. I was given a few potions and was as good as new in an hour or two, but Madame pomfrey decided to keep me over night to make sure I was alright since my hearing still hadn't fully come back. I felt slightly uncomfortable since I was asked to change into a different set of clothes so my sweater could be washed and the new clothes reminded me of the old muggle clothes I had to wear at the Dursley's.
