"RISE AND SHINE!" Avery pulled opened the curtains revealing the sun shining in my face.

I rubbed my eyes and groaned in irritation.

"Good morning, I have a date with Edward today so I'm off. Your presents from me and Ebony are on your nightstand." Avery spoke as she grabbed her coat.

"You got me a present?" I asked.

"We do every year. You just never open them." Avery spoke.

"You talk more now ever since you started talking to that Diggory boy." Avery stated.

"I think he's good for you." Avery added as she walked out of the dorm, shutting the door behind her.

I rolled out of bed and tied my hair back. I brushed my teeth and changed into a sweater and sweatpants.

I went by my nightstand and saw two presents. One wrapped nicely and one wrapped as if a preschool wrapped it. I looked at the note on top of the un neatly wrapped box.

I tried. I'm fucking tired but enjoy

-  Avery

I sat down and opened up the box. I put the wrapping to the side and pulled out a small box. I opened it and it was 20 galleons with a note inside the box.

I didn't know what to get so take the money and go spend it somewhere.

- Avery

I didn't know what I was expecting. I basically know everything about her and Ebony but they know nothing about me. Maybe I should start opening up. I'm free now. I can be myself.

I placed the money back in the box and opened up the one from Ebony. It was a bit bigger box and light. I opened the box and there held a new book bag. My bookbag was getting old and I didn't really care to get a new one.

Wow. I never celebrated Christmas before. At 'home' I wouldn't get any presents. There wouldnt be a Christmas tree or decorations. So I never thought much of Christmas till now.

I walked down to the common room where there was a huge Christmas tree in the corner surrounded by presents. I looked around just to see who gave someone what and I had a present.

I picked it up and it was from Marcel? I just met him like yesterday, whyd he get me a present? I sat down and opened it.

It was a dark blue knitted scarf with a note attached to it. I grabbed the note and read it.

I got excited and told my mom I made a friend so she made this for me to give to you. Merry Christmas.

- Marcel

Yikes. He really doesn't have any friends. Maybe I should be his friend. He seems pretty nice. Especially for a Slytherin.

I threw on the scarf and threw away the trash I had. I was pretty hungry so I went down to the main hall. On my way there I passed Zabini and Goyle giving me the most nastiest look ever. I didn't want to think much of it. Especially since I know why they giving me that look.

I arrived in the great hall and tried to look for Avery. Then I remember she told me she had a date today.

"There you are!" A Hufflepuff boy shouted.

A boy around Cedric's height came walking up to me. He had dark blue eyes, dirty blonde hair and freckles.

At first I thought it was going to be another person to ask me about the rumor and all the shit like that but I saw a box in the boys hand.

"I'm Alex, but Uh Cedric told me to give this to you." He handed me the box with a small note he pulled out of his pocket.

"Thanks." I mumbled as I opened the note.

Stuck in detention all day with Malfoy, sorry I couldn't see your reaction when you open this. Merry Christmas Alora

- Cedric :))

The box was pretty heavy and I didn't wanna open it then and there. I thanked the boy again and walked back up to the common room to open it.

I opened up the gift and pulled out a cylinder shaped object and set it on the ground. It had vintage designs on the outside with gold paint around it.

I opened up the thing and it was a music box. Once I opened it, it started playing the same beat from the harp me and Cedric danced to the first day we met. And it was 2 figures that were me and Cedric dancing, the background and details were exactly like the Hufflepuff common room.

This is... amazing. It's, wow. Words can't even explain. How did he make this? Or how did he make this so quickly if we only met 2 days ago. This must cost a fortune. My cheeks started heating up as I smiled.

Cedric went all out with this present. And I just met him. This is insane. I met this guys 2 days ago and he's completely changed my life. And I didn't even get him anything.

Well in my defense, I didn't even know he was going to get me this. Or anything in general.

I carried the music box upstairs to my dorm and placed it on my desk. This Christmas. Really felt special.

What should I get Cedric? I mean Avery did give me money. Maybe I could get something for him with it.

Ugh no way. That music box must of cost over thousands of galleons. Especially since it's custom made. I'll thank him when he gets out of detention.

He really did this. All for me. When I just met him. This usually would feel weird. But. It doesn't. I feel. Cared about. I feel. Loved. Even though I just met him.

Who is this guy?! What is this things he's making me feel! I hate it I hate it I hate it. But I don't. But I do! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON WITH ME.
