Dear Diary,

         I had a lovely Holiday. I spent it at the Potters. It wasn't planned but it was far too late to back down so I just went along and I've never done something so impulsive.

        I ran like hell and managed to get on the train the last minute having nothing on me but my Cat, Jewel. Poor kitty was a tad bit traumatized that she always growled at James but he didn't mind my cat's death glares.

       The Potters are very nice. Fleamont and Euphemia are amazing, kind, welcoming people and I felt so bad for barging in uninvited. It was embarassing how they thought I was James' girlfriend because whispers said he fancied a redhead but I had to let them down and tell them they got the wrong one.

         Oh and Sirius Black came. It's sad really, Running away right during the Holidays but I understood his pain and tried my best to reach out. I wanted him not to feel alone, I wanted him to know that someone understands and that someone is me.

        Sirius is very fun to be with. He says the dumbest of things and thinks of the most stupidest ideas ever, He's also a huge flirt and I can't count on both hands how many times I've rolled my eyes at him.

       Aside the playful flirting he was a really good person, as is and to talk to.

       He hated Jewel. He reminds me alot of a dog and it's funny that he would growl under his breath at my hissing cat.

        That's it for now. I had the best first Christmas and I do not regret getting on that train with JP no matter how stupid the move was.

        I will never hear the end of this from Thalia and Clarabell. Thalia will be against me being friends with Potter and Clara will strangle me for getting on the train without anything on me, without plans and for staying over at strangers' house.

— Acacia F. River

Acacia's POV

"This is a bad idea." I groan next to the dark-haired idiot who is holding my arm firmly. He's not taking any changes because I've already tried running away when the train stopped.

"Shut up and smile.", As if on cue, The door finally opened and a woman opened the door, Shock evident on her beautiful features.

"Fleamont get in here!" The woman called inside the house before pulling her son in for a hug and even so, James refused to let my arm go so I stood there awkwardly as Mrs. Potter shower her son with kisses.

"James dear, I thought you weren't coming home!" She turned to me and a wide smile formed in her ruby red lips.

"Who is this young lady?" I went ahead and spoke for myself, "Acacia F—River, Nice to meet you Mrs.Potter." I offered a hand but she went ahead and wrapped me in a warm embrace.

I was wide-eyed in shock. She pulled away when a man came into view. "Euphemia, Let the kids in first. It's freezing out here." She pulled me inside and I turned to James who only grinned at me.

Salazar. What did this idiot do?

I'm at the Potter manor with a cat.

"James. What a surprise! What changed your mind?" Fleamont Potter who was wearing what might be the ugliest sweater I have ever seen.

I looked around to find luxury in every corner of the foyer that I felt worse about being here uninvited.

"More like who," I turned to see James already looking at me and I felt something weird in my stomach. I must be hungry from all the running and missing Lunch, It's already dark out.

I only realised we were locking gazes for too long when a fake cough came out of Fleamont.

"So is she the girl you've been fancying since second-year? The only clue I had was a red hair.", Euphemia asked and I almost passed out from so much embarassment.

"Uhh no, That would be Lily Evans." I quickly replied and disappointment flashed in Euphemia's eyes I almost took it back.

Her eyes trailed down to the cat in my arms. "You don't mind having a cat around, Do you?" I asked with an awkward smile but Fleamont Potter grabbed Jewel with a wide smile.

"We love pets!", He announced and I chuckled lightly. "I'm sorry for randomly showing up." I not so subtly stood next to James to elbow his side.

"Your lovely son dragged me all the way." I say through a forced smile and James snicker beside me.

"Oh where are your trunks? I trust Acacia will be staying for long." I stiffened at the mention of me staying, I completely forgot that I can only go back to Hogwarts after the Holiday break.

"Yeah about that..." James trailed off to scratch the back of his neck with a sheepish grin.

This is gonna be one hell of a Christmas.
