I woke up from a knock on my door. "Miss Lestrange! Wake up!" a familiar voice said. The door flew open. "Goodmorning, miss Lestrange! You need to wake up for breakfast!" I opened my eyes.

"Thanks, Dobby, for wakening me up." I said.

"Anything for sweet miss Lestrange!" he said. "Dobby wishes you a great stay at Hogwarts".

"Thanks! Don't let Lucius get to you so much, okay?" I said. He nodded and left my room.

When I packed my stuff, I noticed the letter from my mother. I was considering if I should bring it with me. After going over the pros and cons, I decided to bring the letter with me. I walked with my luggage to the dining room.

"Morning." I said to everyone. Everyone was already done.

"What took you so long?" Lucius said with anger.
"I took you an hour to come down here!". I realized it took a very long time to decide wether I should bring the letter or not. I apologized.

Before Lucius could talk, Narcissa said: "It's okay. Make a sandwich and eat it on our way to the station.". I made a sandwich as fast as I could while putting on my shoes. After, I ran to my coat and rushed outside.

"You have your wand?" Narcissa asked. I nodded.

"Your robe?" she asked further. I nodded again.

"Spoopy?" she asked.

"Yes! I have everything!" I said.

"Okay! Great! Let's go." she said.

On our way Narcissa asked Draco and me if we were a 100% sure that we had all our stuff. We nodded.

"Narcissa, I think they have everything." Lucius said.

"Yes, sorry." she said. Draco and I both giggled. I realized my bond with Draco got stronger in this break. I hoped it stayed like that. He was much better alone at the manor than with his bodyguards at Hogwarts.

"If you don't want to make any friends in Hufflepuff, you can always sit with us." Draco said. I smiled and nodded. Of course, I lied. Draco is fun and all, but his friends were not. And I sat with Lisa and the Gryffindors (how we liked to call Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, Seamus, Neville and Dean). I was excited to see them again.

When we arrived, we needed to say goodbye really fast, because Lucius had to do something for work.

"Have fun and don't be shy to make some friends, okay?" Narcissa said with her comforting smile. I nodded. She hugged me and Draco and they left.

"I'm going to sit with Grabbe and Goyle. You can sit with us." Draco said.

"Thanks, but I rather just want to sit alone, if you don't mind." I said. He said it was okay and left. I wanted to sit with my friends, not him.

I decided to look for a compartment. I saw Neville sitting alone. I opened the compartment door and said: "Hey Neville! Can I sit with you?" I asked.

"Hey! Yes, of course!" he said. I putted my bags up and sat down. I have to tell him about the letter I got.

"Did you have a nice Christmas break?" I asked him. He nodded.

"I visited my mom and dad!" he said. Ouch.

"Oh, how were they doing?" I asked him.

"Still the same. My mom gave me one of those candy wraps again." he said while grabbing a candy wrap out of his pocket. "You probably think it is weird."
