Chapter
17: Christmas time! ^_^
"Hope you guys have a ayashi (fantastic)
Christmas! I promise to bring you guys some souvenirs!" Ayumi yelled as
she dragged her luggage out the door. Chris, Harry, and Ron waved happily as
Ayumi left for
"Have a great Christmas and go to the library to find out on Nicholas Flammel." Hermione suggested to the trio.
"But we looked everywhere already!" Ron complained.
"Not in the restricted area." Hermione said and walked away.
"I think were a bad influence for her." Ron whispered and Chris
nodded.
"Have a Happy Christmas!" Hermione called behind her back. They
nodded their heads, and waved as she walked off.
"Hey! Have a Merry Christmas!" Mel said happily and hugged each guy
and left.
When Mel hugged me for some strange reason my heart soared, I don't know why
but it's really worrying me. But I know I'm going to miss her a lot, her smile,
her eyes, why I'm I fanaticizing over her! I mean she just a friend, I hope.
Harry thought as he watched her walk out the door.
When all the girls left each guy smiled at each other devilishly,
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Ron asked, Harry, and Chris
nodded.
"Party!" they yelled in unison and raced up the stairs.
Harry
sighed as he sat in the windowsill of the boys' dormitory looking out to the
snowy grounds of Hogwarts. Since the girls left nothing interesting has
happened, no giggles, no smart remarks, no sarcasm, and it was driving him
crazy! Sad to say he missed the girls terribly, but for some reason he missed
Mel the most. He shook his head I must be crazy! He thought.
She was pretty with those big brown eye, tall slim figure, and long shiny dark
brown hair; she was nice she just had an attitude that's all. He liked the way
her laugh sounded and the look of her smile, and the why she looked when she
was thinking, to him she looked so cute! He gasped then he realized. He had a
crush on Melissa!
Harry was sleeping peacefully till he was rudely wakened by Ron who was jumping
on his bed.
"What is wrong with you?" Harry asked as he rubbed the sleep from his
eyes.
"It's Christmas!" Ron yelled and Chris walked in.
"Did he wake you up too?" he asked and Harry nodded and slipped on
his robe.
"Whoa!" Harry whispered as he saw the presents on the end of his bed.
"Bring them down stairs with our presents and we can open them together."
Chris said and Harry grabbed his gifts.
When they arrived down stairs they noticed two white owls.
"Hey aren't they Mel's and Ayumi's?" Chris asked and pointed to the
owls.
Ron nodded his head.
"It looks like they brought gifts." he said and took one with his
name on it.
"What did Mel give you Harry?" Ron asked as he opened his gift. Harry
opened the present eagerly.
"She got me a book on Quidditch moves and a snow globe." he said and
lifted up a small doom that had the words 'Welcome to
"Okay my turn!" Ron said eagerly and shredded of the wrapping. "She
got me a book of creative spells, and, a, snow globe" he said slowly, as
he put the snowy globe down on the table. Chris slowly unwrapped his present,
"Wow!!!' he exclaimed happily. Harry and Ron scooted closer for a better
look. "She got me, a book filled with pictures of
"Well we all know who she likes." Ron stated, and smiled. Harry
shrugged and down in his box at the very bottom was a picture of Mel posing in
front of the statue of
"So what did Ayumi get you?" Ron asked eagerly peering over at
Harry's box, Harry pulled away slightly and looked down,
"I got a pair of Quidditch gloves, Harry exclaimed happily.
"My turn!" Ron said and grabbed his box. "I got, a book on how
to do spells" Ron said, Chris snickered.
"Yeah you need them." Ron stuck out his tongue.
"What did you get?" Ron asked.
"I got a sweater, it looks like she made it herself," Chris said. Ron
snickered, Chris jabbed him with his elbow and they continued to open Christmas
presents.
After opening many presents only one remained.
"Hey Harry this one's for you" Ron exclaimed as he tossed Harry the
present.
"Thanks," Harry replied and opened the present eagerly.
There was a letter, curious Harry opened it and read it aloud.
Dear Harry,
This cloak use to be your fathers, it is know yours use it wisely.
Harry pulled out the cloak and draped it around him,
"Whoa!" Chris and Ron exclaimed.
"What?" Harry asked.
"You're invisible!!" Chris yelled. Harry looked down and jumped back.
"You're right I am!"
"You sure you want to do this?" Ron asked as he draped the cloak over
Harry suddenly making him invisible.
"Yes I am." he said.
"Ok don't get into much trouble." Chris
warned.
"I won't." Harry whined. Ron and Chris watched the door open and
closed, they shook their heads sadly.
