Yo Stanford, wazzup, sorry, got it hooked, ok, this is my disclaimer thingy, review or else I'll send my evil butt-monkeys after you, thanx, heehee.

        Severina Granger loved Christmas more than any other holiday. She decorated her dorm in a festive holiday attire. When she woke up, she looked down at the end of her bed. "Hermione, wake up sleepy head it's Christmas!" Severina exclaimed cheerfully.
"Oh you!" Hermione said sleepily, "I was having a pleasant dream, why did you have to come and wake me up?"
"Well, there are presents," Severina explained. Severina sat up and picked up a beautifully wrapped present, Severina shook the box.
"What was that for?" Hermione asked curiously.
"It's tradition, I always shake the box to see if it's valuable." Then without another word, she tore the wrapping paper off the box. Inside the box, there was a beautiful white leather saddle and reins.
"Who's that from?" Asked Hermione as she opened a cd from Severina.
"It's from Hagrid," Severina said.
"You don't even have a horse, why would he send you that?" Hermione said in a puzzled voice.
"You're right, I don't have a horse, but I do have a unicorn."
"What? Where in the world did you get a unicorn?"
"Well, I was out walking and I saw this baby unicorn with a hurt leg. I picked it up and told Hagrid about it. He let me fix the hurt leg. Now, I'm the only one she'll listen to." Severina explained casually.
"Well, anyway, thanks for the cd I have been wanting this cd for a long time." Hermione said. Severina also got a necklace from Harry, a set of nail polish from Ginny, a box of chocolates from Ron, and ring from Hermione. Severina got dressed and went down to the Great Hall. Harry, Ron, Ginny, Fred and George were already sitting down eating.
"Hello my peoples, wass up?" Severina said as she sat down.
"Nothing much," said Harry, "thanks for the cd by the way."
"You're welcome, is it any good? I don't have that one yet," said Severina as she took the plate of salad.
"Oh, that reminds me, we got you something, but we forgot to give it to you." Fred said as he handed her a wrapped present. Severina opened the gift.

  "Thanks guys! I've wanted this cd for the longest time, but I didn't have enough money."
"Aw, aren't we a big happy family?" A said a cold drawling voice from behind them.
"Go away Malfoy, you're not wanted here!" snarled Harry. Draco's kind of cute, Severina thought with a small smile.
Draco suddenly looked at Severina, I've never noticed this before, but Severina is really pretty, Draco blushed and looked away from Severina's stare.
"I've got to go feed Liberty," Severina said as she pushed in her chair and dashed out the window. She ran all the way up to the dorm, grabbed the saddle and reins, then, ran all the way down 'till she got near the door. Draco suddenly stepped in front of her.
"Please get out of my way," Severina said angrily.

"Where in the world did, you get those things," Draco said as he grabbed the saddle and reins out of her hands. Harry, Hermione, and Ron came out to see what was going on.
"Give it back Malfoy," Hermione commanded. Draco smiled a cold, cruel smile. He suddenly spotted a fire place behind them. Severina must have sensed what Draco was going to do.
"No!" Severina screamed in a panicking voice. Draco threw the beautiful saddle and reins into the fire. Severina looked at him, then ran out into the cold darkness. Little did Draco know, but Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, had witnessed the whole scene. When everyone had gone, he pulled out his wand and used it to pull out and repair the saddle and reins. Then, he took them and walked out into the stormy darkness.
Severina had never been so humiliated in her life. She took out the food for Liberty and fed it to her in silence.
"Severina are ye in here?" Hagrid asked quietly, "Dumbledore told me ter give ye these back."
"Thanks Hagrid. I guess he told you what happened?"
"Yeah, and I wouldn't even bother with tryin' ter fix him. He's bad blood." Hagrid said as he slipped out of the door. While Severina was brushing Starfire, there was a knock at the stable door.
"Come in," Severina said as she looked up, it was Draco. She glared at him.
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry. It won't make you feel better, but I got detention for throwing your stuff in the fire." Draco said as he looked down at his feet.
"Yea, well, you should be." Severina said as she continued to brush Liberty.
"I really didn't want to do that but . . . " Draco trailed off.
       "Look, I had to deal with snobby rich kids at my other school too. You think that just because your family has all this money,you think that means that you think you rule the world. Well, you don't and you never will. I can help you change, but I bet you like yourself just the way you are."
       "No, I really want to change, please help me." Draco pleaded.
       "Fine, we'll start tomorrow. Meet me here tomorrow at 10:30." Severina said as she put the brush in the drawer, than she walked out the door. Draco stood amazed that Severina didn't rip his face off.
The next day, Severina was already in the stable when Draco ambled in.
       "Are you ready?" Severina asked without looking up
       "Yeah . . . er, what exactly are we going to do?"
       "Going to change your attitude problem."
       "Oh . . . okay, and how do you propose we do that?"
       "Simple, go in and give Harry a complement." Severina said, "oh, and ask Hermione for help in a subject you're having trouble in, and tell Ron you're sorry for all those mean things you said about his family. After that, we'll take it from there."
       "But I don't need any help in any subjects, all those things I said about Weasley's family are true, and you know I hate Potter." Draco said with a scowl.
      "Their names are Ron and Harry, and if you really want to change, than you'd better get over it," Severina said in a matter-of-fact voice, "come on." She said as she headed toward the door. When they entered the Great Hall, there was a hushed silence. Nevertheless, Draco and Severina continued toward Ron, Harry and Hermione.
       "Hi," Draco said quietly.
       "What did you say Malfoy? Did you come up with another insult about my family, well, right now, I'm not in the mood to hear it."
       "No, actually, I just came to say I'm sorry, to ask Harry for some good pointers for Quidditch, and to ask Hermione for help in the History of Magic."
       "Okay, who are you and what did you do with Draco Malfoy?" Asked Harry in a shocked voice.
       "I'm right here and I'm kind of in a hurry, could you give me an answer," said Draco in an annoyed voice. Severina gave him a look.
      "Well," said Hermione, "Severina's much better in that subject than I am, if you need help in any other subject though, I'll help you."
      "I guess I can help you with Quidditch, but I don't want my teammates to think I'm a traitor, so we have to practice late at night," said Harry, who was getting up from the table.
     "Thanks," Draco as he started towards the door. "Are you coming Severina?"
     "Yeah, I'll be there in a second." She glanced at Hermione and Ron, who had a look of shock on their faces, grinned at them, then hurried out the door. She finally caught up with Draco.
     "Did you see the look on their faces? It was so funny!" Severina said unable to control her laughter.
     "Yeah, well I'd better get going, I'm supposed to go to Hogsmeade today with Crabbe and Goyle."
     "Well, do you want to come with me instead?" asked Severina casually.
    "Yeah, why not?" said Draco smiling.
    "I need to go take Starfire for a ride before we go to break the reins and saddle in, you can come if you'd like," Severina said as she headed towards the stable.
   "How long will that be?" asked draco as he ran after her.
   "I don't know, it shouldn't take more than an hour," Severina said as she struggled to open the barn door. Draco helped her pull the door open.
   "So what is the unicorn's name?" Draco asked casually
   "Liberty is her name."
   "Where did you come up with that name."
   "Well, I found her and she was free."
"Can I ride her," Draco asked.
"she doesn't take well to strangers," Severina said with a small smile.  Without realizing what he had done, Draco kissed Severina.  Little did they know, but Harry was watching them from behind the stable.
