One Wolf Changes So Many Lives - Book 2/10

Chapter 20 - Christmas in New York

Fred's POV

We never spoke about what happened at the Hog's Head. George just said we're never taking her there again and that was final – no jokes or laughs or anything – he is really protective over her. Mind you, I do agree with him. After Ab acted so weird, it was just too risky to take her there again.

Sabrina treated everyone to a film night on the last Friday, before the Christmas holidays. It was called 'The Little Mermaid'. It was pretty cool actually – for a romance thing. It was about a Mermaid (obviously) who wanted to live on land and meet the Prince she was in love with. There were lots of songs and funny bits in it – Sabrina said the film made her feel tropical. Apparently Andrew gave it to her for her birthday in the summer – she does have a lot of secrets.

But the morning after the Hogwarts Express, hustled and bustled itself back to Platform 9¾. When we finally stopped George carried Sabrina's luggage again - just like he did as we got onto the train back in Hogsmeade.

As she hopped off of the train, carrying Felix's cat carrier, Oliver came over and wished us all a happy Christmas, before kissing Sabrina, and running off to his family. Ignoring George's grumpy face, I pushed him forward to follow Sabrina, who was walking towards a bald man holding a sign saying 'Sabrina and Weasley Twins'.

"Hello Joe, Andrew busy?" Sabrina asks the bald man, who nods silently "Ok...are we leaving from a Floo Network in Diagon Alley again?"

The bald man nods again, before taking Sabrina's hand, as she grabs mine. I look at George and grab his hand. Next thing I know, it feels like we are being squeezed through a tiny pin hole. Before finally landing in Diagon Alley – Ok now I get why not everyone likes apparating.

"You can take this back to the apartment Joe. The gentlemen and I will arrive later" Sabrina says passing all of the luggage, and Felix's cage to Joe – she sounds funny talking like that "If any issues, ensure they are directed to me" Joe bows his head slightly, before disappearing into the green fire behind him. Then she turns round to us.....

Sabrina's POV

"I still owe you both for not telling either of you the truth about Oliver and me" I mutter looking at the floor. I look back at them to see their arms folded – They can't still be mad can they? Even after everything with Snape's stores!? - Their faces slowly turn into wide grins – gits.

"So what do we get, as you owe us so much?" George asks walking over and standing next to me on my right.

"Not a girly chat about Wood's lips I hope" Fred laughs standing on my other side. I shake my head at them, and lead them down to path to Gambol and Japes.

"Choose one thing each – ignore the cost. I owe a lot for my technical lying" I say pushing open the doors, before they can object.

They look around, and their eyes widen at the sight of the shop – I guess they never came here at Christmas time. We start looking around, before Fred picks up a small box of Dungbombs, and George picks up a small box of Dr Fillibuster's Wet Start Fireworks. Which I exchange at the counter at the last minuet for the larger sizes of both.

We go for a Butterbeer in the Leaky cauldron, before jumping into the Fireplace, taking the Floo Network back to Andrew and Chris's apartment, at the Majestic, New York.

Fred's POV

"Hello!?" Sabrina calls stepping out of the fireplace "I don't think anyone is home yet" She says turning round to look at us "I can give you a tour if you like?"

George and I can't speak. We just quietly nod. In front of us is a very large room. It's double the size of our living room and kitchen put together. Hang on! She said tour? – There's more!?
