and review to tell me if you like the additions*

"Majev! MAJEV!!!!" yelled an excited voice, "It's Christmas morning!" It
was Hermione, ecstatic about her first Christmas spent at Hogwarts,
normally, she would go home and stay with her parents, but this year, they
all decided that for fun, she should stay there. "I'm up," Majev grumbled,
flopping out of bed to put on her robe and slippers, "I've never spent
Christmas with boys before, normally the men and women are split up for
ceremonial reasons."
Hermione didn't seem to care, she just grabbed Majev's arm and nearly flew
down the stairs.
There were other Gryffindor members in the room, opening presents, showing
them off, and just having plain fun, yet, Majev was confused. "Why is
everyone giving things to each other?" she asked.
"It's Christmas!" Hermione practically shouted, "That is what we do here!"
"Oh!" Majev exclaimed, "no one told me that, I'll be right back." She
disappeared up to the girls' dormitory and left Hermione standing there,
baffled.
"Merry Christmas!" said a familiar voice; Ron and Harry hugged her from both sides, squishing her like meat between two slices of bread. They were all laughing when Majev came back down, "Here!" She said triumphantly, "Gifts for you!" To Harry, she gave a beautiful silver dagger that had strange elfish writings on it. The hilt was made out of gold, studded in diamonds. For Hermione, she gave a silver chain necklace, with a dainty little emerald droplet hanging off of it. Of course for Ron, she gave him something he could really appreciate, elfish candy that popped like pop rocks, fizzed like pop, and made your voice go really high like he'd just been sucking on helium. It also tasted very (and I mean VERY) good.
At breakfast, everyone was in a good mood, even the Slytherin's were generous and happy! Draco and Majev made eye contact across the room, he smiled and motioned for her to go to the hall way. "Merry Christmas!" he said and gave her a big hug. Majev was shocked, she'd been hugged before, but not thins way. Giggling she pushed him away and put on a mock serious face, "You know it's not proper for me to be doing that, let alone in public!" Draco looked shocked, and Majev's lips quivered, Draco raised an eyebrow and she burst out laughing.
"I have something for you," he said, giving her a little box. Majev opened it to reveal a silver dragon pendant with a pointed ruby projecting from its mouth. "I found out that dragons are a good luck symbol for your people, so I." he was cut short by a bone crushing hug, Majev looked fragile, but she certainly could pack a lot of power. Letting go, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a blue glowing ribbon, about a foot long, and handed to Draco. As soon as he touched it, the ribbon retracted to about ¾ of its original size and took the shape of a hawk feather. "A fresh feather is supposed to be able to grant a wish, but that wish must be well wanted, personally, I've never tried it."
He smiled and tucked the feather into his pocket, "shall we go and enjoy our breakfast?" He inquired. Majev nodded and let Draco take her by the hand and lead her back into the main hall.
"What was that about?" Asked Ron when she got back to her seat, "did her want something?" "No," replied, "We just had a gift exchange."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The day ended, and with everyone happy, the whole castle dimmed down, and went to sleep. That night, Majev had a dream, but it was more like a night mare:
I'm standing on the window sill of the dorms. Now I'm falling, down, down. My wings catch me and send me soaring up into the sky were I wheeled around and around. Wow, I've gotten really good at flying. There, down by the main gates are three shadowed figures, I swoop down for a closer look. I land in the womping willow and hear it moan in displeasure. "I'll be gone in a second!" I retorted in my mind, the tree stopped and went back to sleep. The shadows climbed the steps and tried to open the door, but it was locked. One of them cursed slightly. The one at the front turned around and told him to shut up, or they would be caught. One of her wing feathers tickled the willow and caused it to shake, and all the figures looked around directly at her. A pair of red eyes was set in dry chalky white skin, and it gave her the creeps. So jumping in the air, Majev flew away as fast as her wings could carry her, back to the roof of Gryffindor tower. From there, she watched the shadowy figures slide away into the forest.
"Wake up Majev!" cried a girl's voice; it was Lavender Brown, a fellow Gryffindor, "What happened last night?" "What do you mean?" Majev replied. She tried to move but her back and wings were stiff and sore, "I don't get what you mean." "I saw you fly away last night!" Lavender explained, "And about ten minutes later, you came back looking as if you'd seen a ghost.
