Hortensia's POV
The months seemed to fly by and soon Hortensia, her brothers and sisters were heading home for the Christmas holidays. Their new friends that they had met on the Hogwarts Express were also going home. However they would be spending the holidays with their families so Hortensia and the others would have to see them again at Hogwarts when term started back up.
When the Hogwarts Express reached the station the nontuplets exchanged goodbyes with their friends and wished everyone a happy Christmas. They then went over to where their dad and papa were waiting for them. They had a big family hug and Harry and Draco asked their kids if they had had a good time at Hogwarts so far. 'Yes!' all nine said at once. Their parents smiled. 'That's good,' Harry said, 'come on let's get you all home.'
The family left the station and piled in the car to go home.

When they got home the nontuplets went up to their rooms. Hortensia went straight to the room she shared with Christabel and began unpacking her trunk. She let her Greater Sooty Owl Shadow-wing out of his cage and opened the window so that he could hunt. Shadow-wing had just flown out the window when Christabel entered the room. 'Hey Tensi,' she said as she began unpacking, 'what you up to?' Hortensia went and sat down on her bed. 'I just let Shadow-wing out to hunt,' she answered. 'I should let Athena out to hunt,' Christabel said. She did so and the two sisters sat talking for a while.
Soon they heard their dad calling up the stairs that dinner was ready. The two headed down stairs and sat at the table with their family. The nontuplets dad and papa had cooked dinner together. They'd made stew and provided bread rolls to have with it. Hortensia and her siblings tucked in. It wasn't that they hadn't liked the food at Hogwarts but they had missed their parents' cooking.
After dinner they gathered in the living room for their traditional family movie night. Hortensia was told that she could choose the movie. She went over to the DVD shelves and browsed through the movies. She tried to find one that they whole family would like. In the end she chose Sleepy Hollow.
She took her choice over to the DVD player and pushed play. As the DVD started she settled back into her place on one of the sofas.

After the movie finished everyone headed up stairs to their rooms except Harry and Draco who instead stayed up to watch another movie. Hortensia looked back at her parents and she was leaving the living room. Her dad was leaning against the sofa and her papa was leaning against his chest which her dad had his arms wrapped around. Hortensia smiled and went upstairs.
When she got to her room she found Christabel up with the light on. She was sitting in bed reading. Hortensia closed the window and then got into her own bed and picked up her own book. The book that she was reading at the moment was The Hobbit. It was one of favourites that had been read to her when she was younger. She had starting reading it at Hogwarts but hadn't had the chance to finish it before the holidays started.
She read for a while and then started to get tired. Christabel was still reading but Hortensia turned out her own light and went to sleep.

The next morning Hortensia and Christabel were woken by a tapping on the window. They looked towards the window and saw that Shadow-wing and Athena had returned from hunting. They opened the window and the two owls flew in and perched on top of the wardrobe. Hortensia closed the window and she and Christabel went back as it was still early.

When Hortensia woke up again it was nine o'clock so she decided to get up. She got showered and dressed and tied her long black hair back into a ponytail. She then went downstairs to the kitchen and got herself breakfast.
While she was eating the rest of the household woke up and came down to the kitchen. 'What are we doing today?' Hortensia asked when everyone had assembled. 'What would you like to do?' Draco asked. 'Ice-skating,' Hortensia and her siblings chorused. 'Ok then,' Draco said, 'ice-skating it is then.'
After everyone had eaten they went and got their skates and got ready to go to the ice-skating rink. When they were all dressed nice and warm they packed into the car and drove off.

Hortensia and her family spent several hours at the ice-skating rink. When they had all had enough they went to Pizza Express, an Italian restaurant, for lunch. They were seated at a table big enough for all eleven of them and looked over the menus and ordered what they wanted. They had all ordered dough balls to start with as it was their favourite starter. Hortensia and Christabel went off to watch the chefs make them and came back when they were ready.
Shortly after their starter their pizza arrived and when they had finished that they were all too full for dessert.
They made their way home and collapsed in the living room. They were all to exhausted and full to bother doing anything else. They had had a good day though.
Hortensia soon fell asleep curled up in an armchair her siblings followed after.
