James P.O.V.

The next few weeks passed quickly until suddenly it was the week before Christmas.

"Sirius I'm going to ask the girls and Frank home for Christmas, ok?"

"Ya, cool"

I am glad that Sirius was ok with it. And mum will be easy to get around. She always likes meeting my friends, especially new ones.

* Two days later*

"Sirius, mum said it's ok so we should ask them today."

"Hey guys, do you all want to come to my house for Christmas break? My mum said its ok."

Lily was first to reply. "Yes, I would love too. Anyway if I didn't I would have to stay here by myself as my Mama is working during Christmas break."

She was closely followed by Alice and Arabella. "Definitely. We just need to owl our parents."

"If Alice is going then so will I." Frank answered.

Later in our dorm room, I was bombarded with questions about why I invited the girls.

"Whoa guys, slow down. One at a time." I cried. "Who is first?"

"Me, me, me, me!' Sirius jumped up and down, "Is it because of Lily?"

"Nooo… Well yes, but that's beside the point."

"Beside the point? That is the point. You invited Lily and the other girls because you want to spend time with Lily." Remus laughed.

I felt my cheeks start to heat up as I thought of her. "Well we will have a good time anyway. The girls are a right laugh."

"True enough, like, I suppose." Sirius laughed

"Have to agree with you there mate." Tom yawned.

"Let's go to sleep, we can talk in the morning."

Lily P.O.V.

I'm really excited about Christmas. Although it is my first Christmas away from my parents, I think it will still be a good one because I will be spending it with my new friends. It is also my first Christmas without Lyssa and Molly. It is going to be hard but I will be distracted hopefully by my friends.

When we get to our dorm Alice and Arabella start to question me about why I was so quick to agree to go to James' house for Christmas.

"I will have to stay here if I don't, because my Mama has to supervise during the school holidays at Beauxbatons. Besides it will be fun."

"Oh right, cool. Hopefully it really will be fun like you say."

As we get ready for bed, my thoughts turn again to Lyssa and Molly. All though it has been a year, I still haven't forgotten what happened that day when we were out in Cannes.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Flashback^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Lily, where are we going?" laughed Lyssa, my twin sister "Are we really allowed to be off school grounds today?"

"We are going to buy supplies for Molly's birthday party, aren't we Molly? And of course we don't have permission to be out! How boring would that be?"

As we walked along the path I could feel someone or something watching us. I don't know how but I could feel it. Suddenly there was a flash of lights and everything went dark.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^End of Flashback^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That's all I remember from that day. Of course I was told what people know of what happened but there were no witnesses to the horror. All I really know is that now my best friend and my sister are gone and they are not coming back. I need to stop thinking about this now so that I will be able to enjoy Christmas.
