The Gift By: Luna Yui

It was nearly Christmas at Hogwarts and as usual Harry Ron and Hermione were visiting Hagrids hut. "So what yer 3 wan for Christmas"? Asked Hagrid calmly looking apon the 3 students as if hoping they'd right him a whole wish list.. Harry sat down watching his friends ponder what they wanted for Christmas of course Hermione was the first to say.The new book on Earthwiggles by Andy Shrewts.. Harry knew for a fact that Andy Shrets was Hermione's favourite wizard auther and she would probably use an illegal spell to get a book by him if brand new. (wow I think I over reacted..an illegal spell for a book Hermione? NO WAY!) Harry then looked at Ron who seemed to be deep in thought his red hair frizzy from the snowy weather out doors.. "Well the only thing I can think of is Malfoy getting turned into a ferret again"..Hermione tried to hold back a laugh why'll making her "don start with that old rubbish face". Ron after long thought said he could use a non maroon jumper. Hagrid then turned to Harry and asked. "Got som'n' on yer mind Harry you seem pretty quiet". Harry looked up and quickly put a smile on for he hated when Hagrid worried about him.. "Ummm well I don really need anything for Christmas exept maybe a long good sleep and some bertie botts every flavour beans". It is true Harry and his friends have been up for countless hours studying for there mid term exam.. Hagrid then replied "Good man Harry don need anything exept a long deserved rest from a hard days work". At those words Harry looked up at Hagrids clock and said "Uh oh guys looks like we better get going we have are potions exam in 15 minutes".. Hermione and Ron immediately stood up Ron looking nervous and Hermione looking the same as usual. With a quick good bye and good luck wish from Hagrid the Trio made there way to the castle..

After the exam Harry and Ron went down to the great hall for dinner.Hermione on the other hand went strait to the librayey. "What do you suppose Hermione's doing in the librayey"? Asked Ron why'll stuffing a forkful of masked potatos in his mouth.. "Who knows" replied Harry "most likely checking to see if we received the new Andy Shrets book. Ron nodded his head lightely and went back to his eating.

After they were done reading Ron nearly exploded with excitement. "Harry" he said "come with me to the librayey I need to talk to you and Hermione about something.. "What's this Weasly having time to talk instead of being the friend of a mud blood and stuffing his face"? Yes you guessed it Draco Malfoy had crept up behind them with of course Crabbe and Goyle. "Back off Malfoy" said Harry coolly "were not in the mood".. Malfoy let out a snicker. "I'm impressed Potter telling me what to do instead of leaving your fan club to do it for you" .Harry was starting to get annoyed when he herd a voice "Mr.Malfoy please come to my office". Harry looked up and was dumbstruck it was Dumbledoor.Harry watched as Dumbledoor led a very disappointed looking Malfoy to his office. "I can't believe it" said Ron flatly. "That was the first time a teacher ever caught Malfoy in the act. O.k maybe there was that one ferret episode with Moody and possibly a couple with Lupin but" Ron was cut off by the sound of Hermione's voice from the marble stair case. "There you 2 are I've been looking every where for you.. Come on we havn't got all night.. "Right" replied Ron. Harry was now confused.What ever they were doing they completely forgot to let him in on it.
