Chapter 10 - Christmas Break

The day after the ball James and Athena were on the Hogwarts Express, going home for the Christmas Break. They had extracted promises out of their parents that they could get together several times throughout the break. Now they were cuddling on one of the benches in their compartment, talking quietly, occasionally exchanging kisses. All too soon, the train stopped at Platform 9 3/4 and they had to separate, which they did with a kiss and a wave before going with their parents back home.

The Malfoy, Potter, and Zabini families all had dinner together on Christmas and New Year's Eve together, so the couple saw each then and a few others times, but it was never enough for the heavily in love couple.


Albus and Letitia were much the same as James and Athena on the train, cuddling, talking, and just enjoying being around each other while they could. Separating was hard when the train pulled to a stop, and they walked away, throwing longing looks over their shoulders at each other every few steps.

They also met up frequently during the break, as well as at the Christmas and New Year's Eve dinner, but as it was with James and Athena, it was not enough and they missed each other terribly when separated.


Julian, Lilly, and Stelella were sitting in their own compartment, talking as usual. They would miss each other during the break, though not as much as the couples would, obviously. They would see each other at Christmas and New Year's Eve and talk away from all the noise of their families, like they did every year. It would have to do until break ended.

(A/N: I'm sorry this chapter is crap, I'm just not very into this story. I'm going to probably wrap it up soon.)
