Snow was starting to stick to the Hogwarts grounds. If you went outside and looked at the castle, it looked like a winter wonderland. The black lake was now ice and Whomping willow had lost all its leaves. You were all packed and ready for the holidays.

As you rolled down into the Great Hall to say bye to Harry and Ron (who were staying at Hogwarts for Christmas) you see Hermione as well. You meet up with her, then look to Harry and Ron, who were playing Wizard's Chess.
"Knight to E-5." Harry says. The piece moves across the board. Ron thought for a moment. "Queen to E-5."
A queen walks over to E-5 and clinks the knight away. You chuckle as Ron smirks. "That's totally barbaric!" Hermione snaps. "That's wizard's chess." Ron said, crossing his arms in satisfaction. "I see you've packed."
"See you haven't." Hermione replied
"Change of plans. My parents decided to go to Romania to visit my brother, Charlie. He's studying dragons there!"
"Lucky." you say.
"Good. You can help Harry, then. He's going to go the library for more information on Nicholas Flamel."
"We've looked a hundred times!" Ron complained.
"Not in the restricted section..." Hermione whispered. "Happy Christmas." she says and exits.
"I think we've had a bad influence on her." Ron says. You giggle. "I think that might've been me. Have a happy Christmas, you two." you say.
"You two, Y/N." the boys say in unison.

You go the the twins. "Packed, have you, Y/N?" Fred said. "Yep." you say. "Is Ethan on the train?" you asked. "Yeah, just left." said George. "Ok, better catch up with that dork. See ya guys." you say, doing quick catch and release hugs. Fred made the release part difficult. "Fred, you can let go now." you say. "Oh, yeah. Sorry..." Fred chuckled. 

You waved goodbye and got to the train. Hermione was just getting on the train. "Hermione, come sit with me and my brother." you say. "Okay." Hermione replied. 

Once you got your luggage on the train, you found the compartment your brother was at. He was in the compartment with your cousin Lee Jordan, your cousin Cedric, and another Hufflepuff in second year. "Mind if we intrude?" you say, sliding the compartment door open. You're my sister, you're supposed to intrude." Ethan said in a sassy tone. You giggle as you and Hermione enter. "Hi Cedric." you say to your cousin. "Hey." Cedric smiled. You haven't seen Cedric around school much. He was your favorite and only cousin. He was so nice and sweet. 
"Sup, Lee." you say high-fiving the third year Gryffindor. "Who's this?" you ask, pointing to the second year hufflepuff. "This is Tommy Newton. His father and mine,  are good friends at the ministry."
"Hi." he says shyly. "Hi." 
"This is my friend Hermione." you introduced. Cedric and Tommy waved to her as she said hello back.

You spent the rest of the ride getting to know Tommy. It turned out he had a few Slytherin friends himself. Names by William and Deedee, who were second years also. He was also friends with a Gryffindor named Stephan O'Brian, a Ravenclaw named Ki Chang (related to Cho Chang), and a Hufflepuff named Siggy. His friends were staying the holidays at Hogwarts because ironically they all hated being home. 

Tommy said as soon as they got back from the holidays, he'd introduce you to them. 

As soon as you got off the train, you found your parents. You said goodbye to your cousin, Tommy, and Lee. Hermione hugged you and went to her parents. 
Someone bumped into you. "Watch where you're going, Blackbird." came the voice of Malfoy. "You're lucky I can't use magic outside school, Malfoy." you snapped. Malfoy looked back at you and glared. "Was that a threat?" he asked as he came nose to nose with you. "Yep." you reply. "You better watch yourself, Blackbird. Or I'll tell my father about this."
"Oh, look at me, I'm Draco Malfoy who hides behind his daddy! My father will hear about this!" you said in a mocking tone. "Shut up!" Malfoy said, pushing you. You stumbled backwards and fell on your arse.
"-Hey!" came a voice. It was Ethan. "You leave my sister be or I'll beat your arse without magic." he threatened. Draco scoffed and muttered "Blood traitor." under his breath.
"You okay, sis?" Ethan asked. "Fine," you snap as you brush dirt off of your black tights. "Let's just go." you grab your luggage and roll away, your cat Shadow laying on the top of the rolling suitcase.

"Mum! Dad!" you exclaim as you see both of your parents. You tackle your dad with a huge hug, which he gladly returned. "Oh, I've missed you, darling." you dad says, kissing your forehead. "I missed you too!" you say. You then hug your mum tight. "Hi mum." you say, embracing her. "Hello dear. Do you have your Bowtruckle?" your mom asked. You reveal Locket in your jumper pocket. "Good to see he's well." you mom smiled. "Let's get home."

***

Over your break, you went to Diagon Alley to get gifts to your friends. You got candy for Ron and Harry, books for Hermione, prank boxes for Fred and George, a quidditch shirt for Cedric, a quidditch book for Ethan. And so on and so forth.

On Christmas day, you got chocolate frogs from Ron, a Christmas card from Harry, an animal guide book from Hagrid, Lemon Drops from Dumbledore, acid pops from Snape, muggle books from Hermione, an emerald sweater with your first initial from Mrs. Weasley, A joker's guide book from the twins, a Quidditch shirt from Cedric of your favorite team. And from your brother you got a necklace that said "Best Sister Ever!" in layers of silver chain. with diamonds on the edges of engraved words. From your mother you got a broomstick (not to take to Hogwarts until next year). You got the new Nimbus 2000. You couldn't wait to tell Harry. And from your father you got a recording set for music. You knew what that meant. You were going to sing in your father's new album! He even said you were going to solo in a song all on your own.

For New Year's your father hosted a party, not at his house, but at his own concert arena. You invited Hermione to it and Cedric, and even Lee Jordan and Tommy Newton. 

Your father's band played music from the new album (which mainly contained of your father's voice.) 
You also don't know how, but somehow muggles got hold of the records and wants to make a colorful picture based off your father's album. And you're father would be starring in it. They had not planned to start filming until the summer.

You had tons of fun with your friends and family. And when the clock struck twelve, fireworks went off and you all cheered. The adults had their kissing partners and the kids looked away and at the fireworks. You then knew that in just a day, you would be heading back to Hogwarts.
