The house was once again filled with happiness as Anastasia opened the large door and was greeted by the massive hugs from her siblings. She pulled Christina into a hug and whispered something into her ear. Christina nodded along and pulled away once Anastasia had finished her statement. Aria was next up for a hug but she was not given a message. This got to Aria a little bit but she shook it off. There was no point in starting an argument over a little secret.

Draco jumped down the stairs and the group all joined together in the living room. Aria and Anastasia sat down right away at the large dining table. Without having to say a word, they both knew what to do. A large chest set arranged itself on the table. Before Christina could get a word in, Aria and Anastasia had begun their game. They were the most competitive sisters anyone could ever meet.

Meanwhile, to pass the time, Draco and Christina played Quidditch in the house. Lucius and Narcissa were completely against it but it wasn't Christina's goal to impress them or anything. More than once the bludger came hurling down at the chess set. Anastasia screeched and hid under the table while Aria cursed them out.

They truly felt like a family now. It had been a few years since they had all been together like this. After a while, Christina and Draco landed their brooms and sat down for a quick glass of water. What could they say? Quidditch is hard work.

Apparently the chess game had ended because Anastasia muttered the words "Check mate."

She was completely inaudible but Christina was sure the game had ended because Aria did a good job of overturning the game board and setting it on fire. Whatever she said, she hated losing.

"Some day Anastasia. Some day..."

"Oh come on you two. Let's go get some fresh air."

Chrisitna led the group out the front door and onto the snow covered land. Aria and Anastasia were still bickering about the chess game and how Anastasia must have cheated somehow. They were in one of their full blown arguments when Christina nailed Aria in the head with a snowball.

Aria turned and was silent for a moment but then she let out two simple words "It's on." The snowball fight broke out and all signs of mercy disappeared. It was Draco and Christina against Aria and Anastasia.

Draco and Christina started out strong but Aria and Anastasia were closing in. In an attempt to shield himself, Draco lifted Christina up and held her in front of him where she was pelted with snow. She burst into laughter and Draco dropped her down onto the ground where she made snow angels.

Once both teams had agreed to end the fight, they all piled inside for warm glasses of butterbeer, ordered specially for them by Lucius Malfoy. They were all settled back in the living room in front of the fire and they were telling each other stories about their summers. Everything was silent for a moment and then there came a knock at the door. They all exchanged the same look.

Whoever was here, wasn't invited.
