December 28th, 1995

Today I am going back to Hogwarts with the Weasley kids. I must say that I am quite sad to leave, but I am forever grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley for welcoming me to their home. I haven't had a family Christmas in a while. Of course, they aren't my family, and I shouldn't get too attached either. Not when my blood-related family is against them. I could bring danger to them, and they all truly don't deserve it. The Weasleys are such kind-hearted people, it sometimes disgusts me how kind they are (but in a good way?). Sirius Black has me worried, I'm not going to deny that. Considering his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange is part of the Dark Lords' group of followers, and knowing my parents are involved with him in some way, he must have his eyes on me to make sure I don't hurt precious little Harry. I really don't know in what way my parents are involved with The Dark Lord, but I don't think it's a good one. Truly, I just hope they don't get me involved. Draco is in the same position as me, he is also worried about his parents, but mostly about his father. He describes him to me as vile and cruel, and he wishes nothing more but to not be involved. Anyways, I must go now, the Weasleys are calling me to leave.

Till next time,

Aquila Phoenix

The brown-haired girl slammed her journal shut, and threw it into her bag to go downstairs. She quickly closed her travel bag and tossed it over her shoulder to go downstairs. She sped down the dark stairs, almost tripping over, but she managed to keep her balance. When she arrived downstairs Sirius, the Weasleys, Harry and Hermione were all standing by the main door waiting for Aquila to arrive downstairs with desperate faces. Especially Hermione, she really wanted to go back to Hogwarts for some reason.

"Sorry, I was just writing, I lost track of time.", Aquila mentioned looking down embarrassed. "Sorry", she apologized again, making Arthur chuckle. The kind man walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder comforting her.

"No need to apologize dear. Writers do what writers must do.", The man said, making Aquila smile. The girl nodded and hugged Arthur. He was taken aback by her embrace at first but then proceeded to hug her back. Then Aquila walked up to Molly and hugged her tightly, and the kind woman hugged her back.

"It was so nice to have you here dear, please do come back whenever you like.", Molly said earning a nod from Aquila. Molly looked to her left and saw Sirius giving her a glare, and Molly just mouthed, "She's just a child". Aquila walked up to Sirius, hesitating to say goodbye to him, but Sirius stretched out his hand for her to shake. Aquila shook his hand and nodded. An everyone proceeded to say their goodbyes after Aquila, the brown-haired girl just stood by the door waiting for everyone to finish. Fred walked up to his mother and pulled her into a hug.

"She's a really nice girl.", Molly whispered into his son's ear. "Keep her close, but careful with those who surround her.", she finished. Fred nodded to his mother and kissed her on the cheek goodbye, and then went to hug his father. As soon as everyone said goodbye, the children headed towards the train to Hogwarts. When they arrived at the train station, Aquila was trying to walk past the exciting first years but they kept getting in her way.

"Get out of my way you midgets!", Aquila yelled. The first years looked at her in fear and sped out of her way. Fred looked at her with a disappointed gaze and then rolled his eyes as he chuckled. Fred walked ahead of her and Aquila quickly sped up towards him. Once they reached the train to Hogwarts, the red-headed boy quickly got up on the train. Aquila attempted to get on, but it was too tall for her. She struggled to get on as she heard Fred's laughing. Aquila rolled her eyes and told him to shut up as she managed to get up on the train. When they both got on the train, Fred started to walk towards the right along with his siblings but noticed Aquila was walking a seperate way. 

"Aquila!", Fred called, making Aquila turn her head. Fred looked at her confused.

"Where are you going?", Fred asked while tilting his head towards where he was going to sit. Aquila looked at him with sorry eyes, and Fred understood. He had forgotten they aren't" supposed to be friends. The pair walked their separate ways. Fred sat with his brother George in a compartment.

"Where's Aquila?", George asked looking around him.

"She went to sit with the Slytherins.", Fred said plainly with no emotion in his voice whatsoever. George frowned at his brother's comment but managed to cheer him up with a conversation.

"Oi Phoenix, over here!", Aquila heard as she was walking towards the Slytherin compartments. She looked to her right and saw Blaise sitting next to Draco and Victoria. Aquila smiled at the sight of her friend and headed towards her fellow Slytherins. Draco scooted towards the left of the seat to make space for Aquila.

"Hey guys!", Aquila greeted, receiving a smile from Blaise and Victoria, and a head nod from Draco.

"I thought you were going to stay at Hogwarts.", Victoria questioned as she looked at her friend sitting in front of her. Aquila's eyes widened in panic, but quickly composed herself.

"I um- my parents, they changed their mind.", Aquila said, receiving a nod from both her friends, but she got a suspicious look from Draco. As soon as the rest of the passengers got on board, the train began to head to Hogwarts. During the train ride, Blaise and Victoria were talking about what they did during Christmas break, but Draco and Aquila stayed quiet about their break. Aquila wondered why he didn't share anything, since he usually bragged about how he met some famous wizard or something exciting he did. Although she had an idea of what it could have been, she just felt too scared to come to terms with it. After a long train ride, all the kids arrived at Hogwarts and headed toward their dormitories.

"Ugh finally.", Aquila said under her breath as she dropped her bags on the floor and flopped onto her bed on her stomach. When she looked to her left, she saw an envelope on her nightstand. She stretched out her arm to grab it and gently opened the envelope, revealing the first nine words that made her heartbeat in terror.

Aquila,
how dare you spend Christmas with the Weasleys!? Oh yes, you thought we wouldn't find out. We've had plenty of people tell us that they had seen you with those filthy twins on the train to their house. We are absolutely disappointed by you, you are embarrassing us! Do you know how it will affect our image when everyone finds out you hung out with filthy blood traitors?! Your mother was right, you do need discipline. You will come to the Phoenix manner right after the school year ends and we will show you how you should behave till it sinks in. If we find out that you've been hanging out with that family again, you will face the consequences.

Sincerely,
Angelo and Claudia Phoenix

"Oh shit."
