Today was Quidditch. Carina wasn't happy as it meant that she would have to sit in the cold and watch the game with Orion. She was embracing these firsts and lasts with Orion though as it was nearly Christmas and it meant that the two of them still had rarely any time together.

Carina was getting more and more anxious everyday. Leonardo sent her a letter telling her to go with Orion on the platform when they went home for Christmas and Blaise had agreed saying it was best and he might in fact stay for Christmas this year, he heard that Draco and Nott were so he didn't want to attend the pureblood ball on his own.

Carina frowned as she'd never not spent Christmas with Blaise even when she was at Grimmauld Place she knew she'd be seeing Blaise in just a few days but two weeks without him? She wasn't quite sure how she'd cope because it would be the longest they'd have been without each other.

Carina was sitting in the Great Hall in her warmest coat and hat with Fred's scarf. She was boiling but she wasn't prepared to go outside on the cold if she wasn't as warm as she could possibly be. She was hoping that this Quidditch match wasn't too long and Potter got the snitch as soon as possible.

"You do realise your brother is playing today? Malfoy's taken himself off the team and all. People think he's nervous to play against Potter," Orion said and Carina frowned

"Never he's not nervous, it's something else. I need to wish Blaisey luck then. Come with me?"

Carina wondered why Draco wouldn't play, he loved quidditch. He also loved the chance at beating Potter at any given opportunity so she really didn't understand why he wasn't playing. They arrived at the Slytherin table and she gave Blaise a tight hug.

"Good luck fratello! You'll do brilliantly!" She said squeezing him tight

"Yeah well we're hoping that Potter's team isn't as refined but there's not too much hope," Blaise grumbled

"Oh Blaisey where's your ambition? Beat them! I know Ron is Freddie's brother but don't be scared to hurtle the quaffle in his face if necessary," she said with a wink, squeezing his hand three times and kissing him on the cheek

"Thanks Carrie," he smiled sincerely

"We're off the stands mate. Best of luck," Orion said with a small smile

The two arrived at the Quidditch pitch in plenty of time and Orion had his arms wrapped tightly around Carina in an attempt to keep her slightly warm. He didn't believe in the heating charms as he much preferred having a cuddle instead.
