The days got colder at Hogwarts. Over the period of time, the Hufflepuff who almost got attacked by that snake was petrified. Also, earlier on, the first year Gryffindor photo kid was also petrified that day Harry broke his arm in that quidditch match.

Snow was sticking to the Hogwarts ground, giving the castle more of a fantasy-like feel to it. You loved how winter looked at Hogwarts. 

On the first of december, as promised, your father withdrew you and Ethan from the school and you and your family went to the premier of your mother and father's colorful picture. You and your brother dressed nicely for the occasion. Wearing a f/c dress that was made of f/f (favorite fabric) that was f/l (favorite length)
You met so many muggles that night. You also got to encounter some of the costumed characters from the picture. One of them was huge. Around 7-8 feet tall. 

That night you also watched the picture. And what you saw amazed you. Several chracters in the picture were named after your house elf and your magical pets. 
Your favorite part consisted of a ballroom scene with gowns and masks. 

Coming back to Hogwarts the next morning was by floo powder through Dumbledore's office. You and Ethan had to arrive early before classes you had time to clean up and change.

You told Harry, Hermione, and Ron all about it. "I can't wait for it to come out on tape." Hermione said. "Tape?" Ron asked. "I'll explain it later." Hermione said. Ron nodded. 

While you loved to spend time with the golden trio, you also tried to make time with your other group of friends: Will, Deedee, Tommy, Ki, Stephan, and Siggy. You'd joke around, play Exploding Snap. You also got particularly close witu Tommy. You don't know how or why. You just did. 

Once Christmas drew neared, the potion was nearly ready. You were with Hermione and Ron before you were called to the train. 
"Who did you guys say you were changing into again?" you asked. 
"We're gonna be Crabbe and Goyle. And Hermione is-"
"Millicent Bulstrode."
"Oh, her? Okay, not bad I guess." you say. "But, be careful. She has warts on her feet and they smell like dragon crap." 
Ron and Harry burst into laughter. "Thanks for that." Hermione said sarcastically. You saluted to her as you grabbed your trunk and headed off. "Good luck. And don't screw up." you say. "Thanks for having full faith in us, Y/N." Ron said sarcastically. You nod in a satisfaction and walked away, chuckling.

As you walked out of the great hall, you bumped into someone. "Oi!" came the. You look up and see Tommy. "Oh, hi." he says. "Hi." you reply. You look down your fallen trunk. "Oh." you say, getting down. "Let me," Tommy said, kneeling down and getting your trunk. "Oh. Th-thanks." you stutter. "No problem." Tommy smiled. "Wanna walk to the train together?" he asked. "Sure." you reply.

The two of you walked along the corridors and out of the castle. You didn't notice as Draco Malfoy was glaring at the two of you before he saw you disappear onto the platform. 

You sat with Ethan, Tommy and his/your friends on the the train. Laughing at random things, talking about random subjects.

Christmas felt like it went by in a flash. Of course you spent more than half of your allowence on gifts for friends and family. Had a christmas dinner, and had a loud party on New Year's Eve. 

You got a letter from Harry the day before you arrived back at Hogwarts explaining what information they got out of Draco.  

Dear Y/N,
We got information that we never planned on receiving. Malfoy has nothing to do with the Chamber, BUT aparantly, people believe I'm the heir of Slytherin. And also 50 years ago, a girl died while the chamber was open and if it were to happen again, he'd hope it'd happen to Hermione...Malfoy also mentioned you being with that Newton boy in Hufflepuff. I don't know why that was an important detail to him, but he said that you don't deserve someone like him or something. Almost as if he was jealous. I don't know why, since you two don't even talk much unless you're snapping at each other. Anyway, hope you had a nice Christmas. Hermione didn't much, since her potion went wrong because she got the wrong hairs off the Slytherin girls's robes. They were cat hairs. She was stuck in the hopsiptal wing for most of the holiday. Anyway, just catching you up with what's been going on around here and I hope you had a nice holiday.

P.S.
Thanks for the music records and the mini phonograph. Loved the music. Hermione also wanted to thank you for the books you sent her. And Ron would like to thank you for the sweets (though he went through them in less than 5 minutes).


Sincerely,
Harry Potter


You chuckled at the last part. But, you also were curious on why people though Harry was the heir of Slytherin.  Was it because he spoke parseltongue? But, then you realized that you do too and wondered why no one suspected you being Slytherin's heir (which you obviously weren't) or at least be involved with the attacks. But, then you knew that you had no reason to have people become suspicious of you. But, then you were also angry at Malfoy forhaving a death wish for Hermione. He was going to get it when once you got back

The train back to Hogwarts was  chattery, but somewhat peaceful. You were with Tommy and his/your friends talking about what you did over the holidays. 

When you came back, you were walking with Tommy down the corridor to the Great Hall and this time you saw Malfoy staring at you from a corner. You wanted to ignore it, but you just couldn't. You turned around. "What're you staring at, Malfoy?"
Draco sneered at you. "I was just wondering hoe an ugly person like you could be with the likes of him," Draco cocked his head towards Tommy. 
"You wanna bottle it?" you say, putting your fists up to the level of your e/c eyes. 
"And beat you up easily? I'd rather not waste my time with a blood traitor like you."
"I've beaten your arse before Draco Malfoy and I'm not afraid to do it again." you growled. 

Draco's expression changed into one of almost fear, but immediately changed into a sneer after that. "I can get you kicked off the Quidditch team." he challenged.
"Oh yeah?" you challenged, walking up to him. Tommy grabbed your arm and stopped you. "No, Y/N. It will get you into trouble."
You looked back to Tommy and nodded firmly. You glared at Draco once more before turning your back and walking away. "That's what I thought!" Draco's voice echoed in the corridor. You turned your back and flipped him off. His face went red and he stormed away.

You greeted Harry, Ron, and Hermione in the Great Hall before taking a seat and eating with Will and Deedee. 

After the meal you went to your common room and went straight to your room, setting Locket down on Shadow's back and changing out of your robes and into your pajamas.
