This fic was inspired by the song 'Keep Your Head Up' by Andy Grammer. I do not own the song of the characters, except all the OC characters.

This is for Schermionie's The 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Challenge. I have 800 words in my oneshot.

Liliana sat in the library studying. As she studied she began to cry, her father had escaped but that wasn't what made her sad. Her mother was worried since she knew her father might try to see them. Damien, her older brother, was already out of school and he didn't even want to see their father. She continued to cry so when someone walked up behind her she didn't notice until the person covered her eyes.

"Why is my dear Lab crying," asked the person, in his heavy accent.

Liliana began to giggle at what he said, knowing who the person was but she couldn't find herself able to answer him. The person kept his hands over her eyes while she was quiet.

"I'm sad that's all, my mom is worried and that's made me and my brother a little tense" she told him.

The person walked in front of her and smiled. "I know it's hard for you right now but you always have me to talk to. So keep your head up."

Liliana smiled as she looked at her boyfriend. "Oliver Wood you are one strange kid, though I think that's why I first liked you and why I still like you."

Oliver smiled as he sat next to her. "Have any plans for the holidays, they are coming up soon?"

Liliana shrugged, "I might go back home but I am not sure if my mom wants me to go back home. She is so worried that I will hurt myself on the way to my house its quite funny to hear her scream at me for not being careful."

Oliver shrugs, "Is Professor Lupin going home for the holidays?"

"You mean my house and I think he is but I am not sure," Liliana replied. "Why do you want to know?"

"Just curious," he replied. "You don't seem like you like Professor Lupin."

"I don't really like him," she told him as she put away a book. "Though I know he cares for us so it is really hard to not like him."

Oliver laughed, "I see, so are you going to give Professor Lupin anything?" He followed his girlfriend as she left. As he waited he watched as she thought quietly to herself. "It's not a hard question."

"I know it's not," Liliana said, "but I don't know if he would want one. I don't think I would be able to give him a gift that I would think that's worthy enough for our professor."

"Well you could just give him a present when you come home," Oliver suggested. "We are going to Hogsmeade soon so maybe you can get him a gift then."

Liliana smiled, the two sat down and she said, "I remember finding something in Hogsmeade that I thought he would like. Hopefully it's still there because if it's not still there I will cry."

Oliver nodded, "That seems like a plan."

When they go to Hogsmeade she finds the gift and she soon wraps it up so it wouldn't break. Oliver separated from her during the trip to do some shopping as well. Liliana decided to get a drink in the tea shop; she sat down and saw Marcus walking up to her.

He smiled and said, "If you were a Dementor, I'd become a criminal just to get your kiss."

Liliana rolled her eyes, at that moment Oliver walked in; he laughed and sat by Liliana not looking at Marcus.

At Christmas, Oliver ended up being invited to Liliana's house. He accepted the invitation, so when Christmas morning came Liliana was lounging on the couch while Damian was lying on the floor trying not to fall asleep; both were the first ones up.

Oliver went downstairs a half hour later and he saw that everyone was awake. Liliana's mom smiled at him and Liliana looked at him happily, Oliver walker over to Liliana and sat next to her.

"The first present will be for my dear daughter Liliana," said Sorrel giving her daughter the present. "That present is from Remus."

Liliana began to open it and she found a small purple box with silver designs on it. She smiled and when she opened the box she saw a silver necklace with a silver wolf that was howling. "I love it," she said as she put it on.

"The next gift is for Remus from Lily," Damian said as he gave Remus a neatly wrapped gift.

Remus opened the gift and saw a crystal sculpture; it was a moon with what looked like a face. Remus smiled happy to have the gift.

"Glad you liked your gift," she replied as she felt her necklace.

"Keep your head up I know it's hard with your dad," Remus said, quietly before the gift-opening continued.

Hope you all liked it. ^.^
