Chapter Ten:

Christmas Break!

School was finally out-for Christmas break, only two weeks-but none the less, it was a break from it all. Nicole was just coming down out of the girl's dormitory when she saw Draco and Jason standing waiting for her. "Hey" She said.

"Hey" They replied.

Draco walked up to her. "You want to come with me and Jason to my house for Christmas?"

"SURE! That would be awesome." She said smiling widely. "Thanks-I'll have to write and tell my mom and dad but yeah-that would be really cool."

"Okay great." He said, and they all walked out of the common room-headed to the great hall.

When they got to the great hall they saw Lisa sitting at the Gryffindor table with Liz, Harry, Fred and George. They went over to say hi-glaring at Harry, who glared back.

"What do Slytherins want with Gryffindors?" Fred asked.

Liz turned around in her seat and smiled brightly. "Hey guys!" she said-receiving glares from the Gryffindors.

"Hi, wondering if-well Nicole and Jason are coming to my house for the Christmas break-wanted to know if you wanted to come too." Draco said.

"OKAY! Cool I have to ask my mom-no never mind scratch that-have to tell my mom." She said smiling.

"Okay see you on the train." Jason said as they walked away. She waved at them as they left.

"Hold it-Your going to the Malfoy's… for Christmas?" George asked.

"Yesm and I will not have to bother with figuring out how to hex Harry without anyone knowing-cause there will be no Harry, oh JOYS its going to be fun." She said jumping up and skipping off to the Gryffindor common room.

After packing all her stuff she ran down to catch the train.

(Plat form 9 and 3/4)

The train pulled to a halt, about 3 hours later.

The four students got all their luggage and stepped off the train. Draco glanced around looking for his Father, and Mother. Finally spotting them he walked over-Nicole, Jason and Liz trailing behind.

"Father. Mother." He greeted them.

"Draco." They said, glancing at the three students behind him.

"And who is this." Lucius said, motioning to Liz, Jason and Nicole.

"Um-err- remember how you said I could bring some friends home for Christmas?" Draco asked, looking slightly scared.

"Fine."

"OH!" Draco said. "This is Nicole Lees-Buckley, Jason Frost, and Elizabeth Martin." Draco introduced them.

"I see." His father said.

Draco turned to Liz, Nikki, and Jason. "This is my mother… and father; Narcissa, and Lucius… Malfoy."

"Cool!" Liz said merrily.

Lucius just kind of glared and turned around, walking away. "What I say?" Liz asked leaning over to Draco.

"Don't worry about it-they're just… being themselves."

"Oh… that's… cool?" She said as they started to walk away.

(Malfoy Manner)

At dinner that night, Narcissa asked: "So I know that Draco is in Slytherin" She smirked "But, what houses are you three in?" She asked.

"Slytherin" Both Nikki and Jason said together. Liz was silent, everyone looked at her. She started to laugh nervously. "Heh-funny you should ask! Gryffindor… It's a really annoying evil potter loving filled house-BUT don't worry I hate him… stupid golden boy-never getting in trouble always loved by everyone I wanna just push him down a large set of stairs." She received even more glares from the Malfoy's-well not Draco, but his Mother and Father.

The rest of the meal was in silence.

(Christmas Day)

Liz awoke to hearing Nikki squealing, "CHRISTMAS!" They went downstairs to see Draco and Jason sitting in… one of the many sitting rooms.

"Hey" Liz said.

"Hey"

"Happy Christmas…"

"You too" They all said.

Liz sat down beside Jason. Nicole was jumping up and down and giving out the gifts she had bought for people while saying "THAT'S YOURS! FROM ME." Extremely excitedly.

Draco had gotten Nicole a broom, she had jumping up and down again-they had just got her to settle down- Liz a Slytherin scarf, she had been very happy with this. "OH MY GOD! Thank you so much! You know me way too well." And He got Jason a set if new robes.

Liz got Draco a laptop-he did not know what it was- Got Nicole VIP tickets to see Phantom and she gave Jason a big black top hat that said in lime greed letters 'Sexy Top Hat-You know you want it!'

Jason got Liz a T shirt that said: 'I am too a Slytherin GOD!' on the front and on the back 'WHY WOULD YOU THINK I WAS GRYFFINDOR?!?' In big green and silver letters-upon getting it she started to laugh hysterically-Everyone was scared. He got Nicole a book on how to hex people-but he crossed out the word 'people' and put 'Potter'- He got Draco a book on the dark arts.

Nicole got Draco an I-pod video-he new nothing about it- got Jason a Harry and the Potters CD, and Liz a Slytherin crest badge.

Later that day they went outside to play Quiditch. Liz was playing chaser, Draco seeker, Nicole was also a chaser, and Jason played seeker for his and Liz's team. In the middle of the game Liz decided to dive into a bank of snow-cause they were losing, which was causing her to become hyper.

The rest of them landed near her as she crawled out of the snow bank laughing hysterically. Then they all got into a snow ball fight, and before they new it Draco's mom was calling them in for dinner. They all walked into the house, soaking wet and shivering-yet laughing all the while. Dinner was amazing; it was literally a Christmas feast.

After dinner the four of them raced upstairs, to Jason and Draco's room-they were going to show Draco how to work his I-pod. Once in his room they sat in a circle on the floor, and turned on the laptop. "Okay so-so you download lime wire!" Nikki said "Starting to download it…. Downloading-DOWNLOADED!" She squeaked.

Once they got bunches of songs on his I-pod they showed him how it worked-he really did not get it. "Why does the music come from a little metal box?" He asked slightly sarcastically. It really was fun showing a pure-blood wizard how to work a muggle made device.

It was their first day back at school, after the Christmas break, they were just walking out of the great hall when Liz yelled. "OH I wanna get my scarf! The green Slytherin one." She started to walk up the stairs towards the Gryffindor common room. "Wait, you guys should come." The three exchanged glances.

"Liz… We can't it against-well just…" Jason's voice trailed off.

"Exactly there's no 'Rule' about that!" Liz stated happily. Walking back to were he stood she grabbed his arm and pulled him with her. Nicole shrugged and followed, Draco reluctantly also fallowed.

Liz let Jason's arm go and ran up the last few sets of stairs, finally making it to the Gryffindor common room. She turned and smiled at the three Slitherins following her.

Once the three were standing behind Liz she turned to the fat lady and said "caput draconis." The portrait of the fat lady swung out revealing a passage into the Gryffindor common room.

Liz started to walk through the opening, then noticing that Nikki, Draco, and Jason were not following (yet again) she turned back and grabbed Jason by the hand and walked through the opening, Nicole followed eagerly, and Draco shrugged and then walked through.

Upon entering the Gryffindor common room it went completely silent, everyone was staring in shock at the four first years that had just entered it. Not because they were first years - no – because they were Slytherins in the Gryffindor common room.

Harry, Ron and Hermione jumped up from were they had been sitting by the fire "What the bloody hells going on?" Ron demanded.

"Well I invited my friends up to say hello!" Liz stated joyfully, receiving many glares from the Gryffindors. "Well anywho I have to go get my stuff, play nicely." She let go of Jason's hand and skipped up the stairs to her dormitory.

Jason, and Nicole exchanged nervous sidewise glances.

Fred and George had stood up and walked over to them – wands drawn – "What do you think your doing bringing your Slithering Slytherin slime here?" Fred asked razing his wand and pointing it at Nikki, George pointing his at Draco.

Jason stepped in front of Nicole. "Don't you dare!" He said flatly.

George smirked. "Didn't know Slytherins had it in them to protect one another – That's some new news isn't it Fred?" He said sneering.

"Do they really? I never new a Slytherin could feel anything for someone else – always thought they were self centered gits myself." He smirked.

Draco drew his wand also. "Leave them alone!" He snarled.

"Looky here Fred, Draco Malfoy. The Slytherin prince is saving his little girly friend, and Frosty!" George stated as he razed his wand up to Draco's face. "Shall we hex them Fred?" He asked his sibling.

"Yes George I think we must teach these arrogant gits a lesson!" Fred agreed.

By now all three Slytherins had drawn their own wands – razed and ready for an attack. Hermione walked over and stood between them. "Look – this is SO unnecessary! Really, there's got to be a good reason for all of this!" She said forcefully – trying to stop a duel before it began.

"Hermione" The twins groaned "We don't want to hex you too. Anyways why are you defending them? They always call you 'mud-blood' they don't deserve this!"

"But that does not justify hexing them!"

"Hermione their right." Ron said, he walked over to her – followed by Harry – "Don't get in the way, their only getting what's coming for them.

"Saving your Mudblood girlfriend weasel?" Draco sneered.

Harry rounded on them now. "You're not really in the right situation to be calling her that Malfoy." He snarled. "The entire Gryffindor common room, you know having their wands drawn on you!"

Malfoy only smirked. "Oh that doesn't matter Potter! We can handle you and you filthy blood traitor house don't you worry about that." He spat

"You just went too far!" Fred and George said together. Fred pointed his wand at Jason and said "Levacorpus!" Jason flew upside down into the air, robes falling over his head.

Nikki swore while Draco razed his wand. "Petrifacus Totalus!" He said pointing his wand at George – who was about to hex Nicole – George fell, frozen, to the floor.

Ron cursed, drawing his wand and pointing it at Draco. "You shouldn't have done that Malfoy." He said.

Everyone around was not paying attention to Draco and Ron though – they were too busy laughing at Jason, who was cursing.

"Don't touch me weasel! You're to poor to do anything to me!" That was the last straw Ron razed his wand and yelled "Furnunculus!" Draco's face irrupted in boils.

Nicole let out a cry and razed her wand, pointing it at Ron but Harry stepped in. "Expelliarmus!" Nicole's wand flew out of her hand – Harry caught it. She glared at the Gryffindors as they advanced on her – She backed up until she hit the wall behind her. "Why are you doing this?" She whispered.

"Because you've insulted us all, and you have no right to be here!" Ron said razing his wand.

Finally the Draco's hex on George had worn off. He jumped up and walked over to stand beside Ron, Razing his wand he pointed it at Nicole. "Tarantallegra!" Nicole's legs seemed to act on their own accord – they started moving all over the place uncontrollably, as if she was dancing.

Liz came running down out of the girls dormitory to see Jason hanging upside down – robes over his head – Draco clutching his face, and Nicole… dancing uncontrollably. "What the hells going on here?!?!" She screamed. Everyone turned to look at her – Jason fell onto his head which gave a sickening 'crack' –

Fred rolled his eyes. "Giving these Slytherins what's coming for them!" He spat.

Liz yelled – Jason was now lying motionless on the floor. Draco ran over to him and fell to his knees. "Jason?" He asked – no answer – He shook him slightly – still not any answer.

"You fucking bastards!" Liz yelled at them all. "You just don't get it do you? They are my FRIENDS! You people could never understand that though could you?"

Fred opened his mouth to say something but Elizabeth cut him off. "NO – you never understand, any of you! None of you know what friendship really means! It's to stick together no matter what – no matter what other people think! So you can hate me all you want, but I was friends with them before I got sorted into this god damned house!"

She then pushed through the angry Gryffindors to were Jason lay, Draco was still trying to wake him up, and Nicole was now also kneeling down beside Jason – a troubled look mixed with hate on her face. Elizabeth dropped to her knees. "What's wrong with him?" She whispered.

Draco shook his head. "I dunno but if it's bad I'm personally kicking to shit out of Fred." He said bitterly. Liz put her arm around his shoulder.

"I'm sure he'll be fine… I mean he lived through the whole dog thing." She looked at Nicole who was still just starring at Jason. "You okay?" She asked her.

Nikki's head snapped up to Liz's "Yeah… just – I hope he's going to be alright." Then she smiled weakly.

All the Gryffindors were either whispering amongst themselves or just keeping silent. "Right… well lets get him to the hospital wing then." Nicole said standing up. "And you

too Draco – you don't want to go around for the rest of the school year with those boils on your face." He smiled slightly.

They carried Jason out of the Gryffindor common room, heading down to the Hospital Wing, as they left they glared daggers at the rest of the Gryffindors.
