The Journey

Christmas Time

We are packing our things the night before Christmas Eve when I found my earbuds under Hannah's bed. Along with my music player. I can't believe she took them...something is going on here...I'm not gonna say anything yet. We all gathered through the hall. They're right. My eye changes by emotion. We still have no idea why though. I walked through the doors to enter the hall and I was stopped by Fred.

"Oh look...Mistletoe." He grinned. I rolled my eyes putting in my earbuds, and pointed at the side of my cheek.

"That's all you get."

"Deal!" He flirts with all the girls. I rolled my eyes as he kissed my cheek. He went to run away when Malfoy came over.

"Hey Weasley! Hands off my girl!" I turned my volume up higher so I couldn't hear them argue. After a few moments of standing there watching them bicker my eyes flung wide open as Scorpius kissed me. KISSED ME.  I stood there shocked. Then I found myself kissing him back.

"What the hell was that?" I took my earbuds back out.

"You're eyes. They're grey..." Malfoy grinned looking me up and down. Grey means Desire we figured out.

"SHUT IT MALFOY." I hit him the the arm with a book.

"So, where are you spending Christmas?" Potter walks over as Malfoy moved us from under the mistletoe.

"Severus's old house." I showed off my key around my neck. "Ive always wanted to know what it looks like." I shrugged. (That's right. I didn't even smile for the kiss.)

"Alone?" Fred asked.

"Yes. Isn't that normal?" I said.

"No. How about I come stay with you. My family went to visit my Uncle Charlie. I told them to take Rose instead of me. I've been there before. So, I was gonna be stuck here."

"Really?" I looked shocked.

"Yea, we can have our own Christmas party!"

"I mean...sure." I said not really sure what to do. Malfoy was mad. "Will McGonagall approve?" I looked shocked.

"Of course not. Here. I need it back next year though." Albus handed Fred a blanket has he grinned evil like.

"Well, I'll send you an owl. We'll have to have a dinner with my parents." Malfoy said.

"uhm. I'd love to. It could also be helpful speaking to your Father Scorpius." I said in shock. He looked at me happy...I used is first name.

"Where's Twila and Hannah?" I asked looking round.

"Not sure. Maybe they're already on the train?" Scorpius asked.

"Probably." I shrugged as we began taking our seats on the train. I lost track of Fred. Not sure where he went...

"I was told to sit you there." A Gryffindor looked at me obviously not liking me. Scorpius was next to me. I was confused. But I sat. I was on the inside by the window. I heard a little chuckle as I was getting comfy. I jumped up and looked at Scorpius who had also heard the voice. It was silent again so I once again sat. After a few moment Albus joined us.

"I hope Fred didn't get separated..." I sighed.

Albus began to laugh.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"BOOO!" I screamed as I jumped over to Malfoy.

"How did you not notice you were floating!?" Albus began laughing. It was Fred. That blanket was a cloak... That's how he snuck on. All I saw was a floating head!

"Damn it Fred! I've been sitting on you the whole time!?" Scorpius wrapped his arm around me as I sunk into his grasp.

"Oh! The candy! Look at it! Anyone want anything?" Fred covered himself up, and whispered for a chocolate frog. I went over and saw there were two kinds. Sour, and original...

"Here Fred you can uncover yourself." He grinned happily as Hannah and Twila made there way to the cart.

"OH MY GODS! BLOODY HELL IS THAT SOUR!?" His face was now a shade of red. Everyone was laughing as I settle back into Scorpius's arms.

"So? You like your first year at Hogwarts?" Twila asked.

"Yeah. Wasn't too bad." I shrugged.

"Hopefully people will warm up to you better next year..." Hannah smiled...

"Yeah." I wanted to call her out so badly. She had to of taken them... as I was thinking it Twila brought them up.

"Celestial! You found your headphones!?" She grinned happily.

"Yeah." I put them in and leaned tighter against Scorpius.

After a while I found I had dozed off. I don't sleep much anymore. I went to look out the window and Fred stopped me.

"Don't." He said calmly.

"She can look out a window if she wants too Weasley." Scorpius growled.

"We're on a bridge Malfoy. If she's sees how high we are it'll send her into a panic attack." Fred rolled his eyes.

"Can you two for once! Just stop fighting?" I stood up leaving the room. I was heading to a restroom. Fred sorta followed me.

"What's that in your pocket?" He looked confused.

"That? Oh. Glue. Keeps things stuck together." I shrugged. "Can I go pee now?"I added.

"BEST PRANK EVER!!!" He grabbed the glue with big eyes. I looked at the bathroom then at him running away. I sighed... and ran after him. I peaked around the corner and saw Fred pouring glue in Scorpius's mouth.

"Stop!!! DO NOT SWALLOW THAT!" I yelled yanking Scorpius up after taking the glue from Fred. We both ran to the bathroom as the girls were confused, along with Albus.

I flipped the lid of the toilet. "Now spit!" I growled.

"Fred why would you do that!?" I growled as I stepped back digging through my bag and found a toothbrush and peroxide.

"Okay. Scorpius, you can't swallow this either." I said I started to scrub his teeth, and tongue clean.

"To answer your question Celest. I figured he'd keep his big trap shut for a while if I did that." He grinned big. I let my head drop as I looked up and over at Fred. I began laughing hysterically.

"Screw the both of you." Tears were pouring from how hard I was laughing. I gave Scorpius some water and food to get rid of the taste and rinse his mouth out.

"You're laughing? That's all it took!?" They looked shocked as I couldn't breathe as I leaned against the wall sitting down.

"Well let's do it again then." Scorpius grinned.

"No!" I held my side laughing reaching out to him. Scorpius helped me up as he grabbed my face using his thumbs to wipe my tears, that had a bit of makeup in them. Finally I calmed down some as I held his wrists.

"Can I pee now?" I looked at the both of them. The grinned happily.

"I suppose." Scorpius rolled his eyes as they left.
