It's Harry Potters first year at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry and so far he's managed to survive up until Christmas. Now the holiday season has rolled around and the two week vacation is days away. Unfortunately it seems Harry will be spending this Christmas alone due to the fact that his new friends, Ron and Hermione, are both going home to see their families. Then Harry catches word that The Malfoy Heir will also be staying for Christmas. What good could possibly come from this?
