DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter or any of J.K. Rowlings characters. But I do or rather my friends and I own everyone else. :)
Didn't you ever wonder what it would have been like to have gone to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? Didnt you ever wonder what it was like to chat with Hagrid, duel with Draco, compete with hermione, or swoon about Harry? So did I. Jump on in the water at the Black Lake is fine.

"White, fluffy, soft, puffy." Phoenix had her nose pressed up against a window in the Great Hall. Her breath making frosted circles of moisture with each exhale as she admired the freshly fallen snow that blanketed the ancient castle.
"Walking in a winter Wonderland! Sleigh bells ring," Aino's voice drifted from in from the main foyer.
"Are you listen?" The festively dressed witch skipped along between the long house tables, as she entered the room, where their meals were served each day. The bells attached to her santa inspired hat jingling merrily.
"Unfortunately." came Isis's weary reply to Aino's sung question as she and the rest of the posse entered the Hall after the "christmas" farie. Keeping at a safe following distance from Aino. Who knew when one of those bells could come loose. A concussion was not on their christmas list this year.
"In the lane snow is glistening." a slight edge entered Aino's voice, causing Isis to grin a bit.
"Not really, it looks kinda trampled from when Hagrid brought the Christmas tree in this morning." Phoenix quipped from her previous perch on the window sill.
Aino stopped skipping and quirked an eyebrow. "A beautiful sight."
"Only if you don't look in a mirror." Felini snickered, setting her arm load of presents on the nearest bench. The posse had decided to open their christmas gifts at the tree in the Great Hall since entering another houses Common room was strictly forbidden.
"We're happy tonight." Aino growled, scowling as Felini shrugged her shoulders and tossed her an innocent look.
"Only if Draco was here." came Vennelas dry reply as she joined Nix on the window sill.
"Ok fine you win!" Aino threw her hands up in defeat. "I'll stop spreading christmas cheer." the brunette jerked as her vampiric friend poked her in the side.
"Oh stop mopping. Here. Open your present!" Felini thrust a rather large present in to Aino's limp arms.
The girls started passing around their christmas packages. Some were wrapped in plain brown parcel paper, others in multi-colored festive papers. Bows and ribbons littered the grey stone floor as squeals of delight, and a few startled gasps bounced off the charmed, snowing ceiling.
"Oh my giddy aunt." Nix gulped as she unfolded what looked to be a hideously tye-dyed tee-shirt from the tissue paper in her lap. Her gift from Isis.
"Thanks Isis." A strained smile crossed Phoenix's dainty face as she looked from the shifting colors of the tee-shirt to Isis's ecstatic face. The wheels were slowly turning in her head on how to successfully and secretly dispose of the horrific piece of fabric.
"Do you really like it?!" Isis was practically bouncing up and down in her seat. "I charmed it so it works similar to an invisibility cloak. It helps the wearer blend into their surroundings. Go on, try it!" the lithe witch practically wrestled her best friend into the hideous piece of clothing.
"Great grinylows!" Aino covered her mouth in a vain attempt to stuffle boisterous laughter that was bound to escape due to the sight before her. Felini and Vennela were practically passed out due to lack of oxygen to their brains. All Isis could do was stare transfixed at Phoenix.
"Well?...Am I gone?" Phoenix ventured, uncertain as to whether she should try and look at her body. The renewed peels of laughter that followed her question did not encourage her.
"Um well, Nix, ugh....... No you're not." Isis began. Her facial expression shifting slightly. It turned out Isis used the wrong charm. The shirted turned the wearer... "You're, um..... well, yellow."
"You mean like I have jaundice?" Phoenix's eyes grew wide with surprise. "But I felt find this morning." Panic inflecting her voice a few pitches above normal.
"No Nix not..." But Aino was cut off as Phoenix flopped herself onto her back and told Felini to see if her liver was tender.
After assuring Phoenix that her liver was not tender so she most definatly did not have Jaundice, Felini plopped down next to Aino.
"Well? Did you open my present yet?" A chesire cat grin spread across the vampire's face, reveling her shortened fangs. Aino cringed slightly. Sometimes her friend looked alittle to much like dracula.
The brunette fae ripped into the packaging of her last present only to find the best gift ever. "A man whore cookie cutter in the shape of Harry?! Where did you find this Fel? I've been looking for one every where!" With a speed no creature, magical or not, should move at, Aino was off to the schools kitchen to start baking.
