Merry Christmas Carrie! I cant believe this is our first one without each other. It truly breaks my heart but Hogwarts at Christmas is something you should experience and I think we should both do it next year — together.

How is Orion's? I hope he's well. I've come to quite like the Muggleborn, he wants the best for you as do I. I've sent a box of Belgian chocolates with the letter for you to give to him and his family as a gift from me.

I hope you like your gifts from me! Thank you for the new shirts and the photo album of us as children, I don't know how you found that photo of us with Draco but it's brilliant. I really appreciate it. I hope you're taking care of yourself and you have a marvellous time with Weasley in a few days. I will see you as soon as your back for the biggest hug — dare I say I've missed my twin.

I love you more than all the stars in the sky vita Mia, it's going to be us forever and always — love
Blaisey xx

Carina spent the morning wiping her eyes as she truly missed Blaise and even Siri and Cedric. She hadn't thought about Siri in a while but it had been a year since she was at Grimmauld place and the memory was just too painful. She just smiled at the memory of Cedric now, he'd always have a special place in her heart. The handsome Hufflepuff who charmed her with his selfless and kind ways. She could only imagine that Siri, Cedric and her dad were all together in their resting place watching out for her. It was a nice thought she had. All of them hanging out in the stars like Freddie had said before.

She had received such nice presents from everyone — Orion bought her a new dress that he had thought would suit her, Kian and Mrs Phillips bought her a few headbands and pretty clips for her hair and Jamie Phillips got her a bunch of Muggle chocolates that he thought she'd like. Her best present was from Blaise, he had gotten her the most beautiful pair of ankle boots and an ankle bracelet with the Gemini constellation on it.

Carina and Fred hasn't exchanged presents yet as they wanted to do it in person to see each other's faces — Carina loved seeing people's faces when she gave them presents. She didn't expect to see the Weasley owl Errol flying towards the Phillips household and frowned when she saw two parcels — she was adamant that they weren't doing presents until they saw each other so she was very confused.

Errol arrived and there was a letter and a box for Orion — Carina assumed these to be from George — and there was two letters and a box for Carina. She called over Orion and handed him his letter, he scowled and threw it on the table mumbling something about a 'dickhead'. Carina rolled her eyes chuckling at the boy before she opened the first letter — the one she didn't recognise to be Fred's handwriting.
