When the end of the fall semester came around joy and gleeful wishes were present in every corner of the castle. Felicity as reserved as she was knew she needed to set some time aside to enjoy herself. Every year her roomates packed up and left school for break. It was saddly something that got her into a cheery mood. She would openly dispise her roommates they were absurdly obnoxious and distastful. Infact over the years they were down right cruel. They would bully her and not in a verbal way full out beatings to the point that Felicity couldn't not take action.

In first year she started fighting back some how she never got caught either. The first time was an acident she used mental magic. Once in potions Felicity put frog guts in their hair and bags simply because they had asked a dumb question. They even called her a name and they could find themselves covored in wet glue, orc spit, and more than likly handcuffed to the bed. Best part of that spell was not only did it go to the one place that they found most uncomfortable but could only go away when they admitt they were wrong.

She found herself in a tree with three days to Christmas. Fresh snow on the ground and no clouds in sight. The bitter cold was less than wanted but she didn't care. All she cared about was the stars. Tonight was to be a crazy event of falling stars. She adjusted her scarf and looked at her watch. It was ten till eleven and everything was still she drew in a cold breath and saw her own be returned.

"Is there someone up there?" A familar voice called up the tree.

"Yeah the only one crazy enough to sit up her in the dead of winter."She smiled down.

"Do you know how many people that could be? That could be me." Harry was now climbing the tree as well.

"Whatcha doing out here? I thought I could be alone." She smiled helping him to the top where she was.

"you know thinking..."He looked down

"I know what you mean... But you chose a great night to." She smiled brightly her cheeks full of color.

"Why is that?" He returned the smile.

"Because tonight is a meteor shower, it's something I watched ever since I was a kid. It's always on this day." She smiled pointing to the directions that they would fall in.

"Why didn't we learn about this in astrology class?" Harry asked following her finger points.

"Because you can only see it if you A believe it's there and B if your thinking of someone you love. Sometimes it's really bright and is shone to all but it's yearly. That's why astronomers can't chart it they don't believe in their calculations and they don't know the other magic behind it."

"So believe it's there think of someone you love anything else." Harry checked

Felicity checked her watch it was midnight exactly. "Now think of them and believe." They looked to the sky and sure enough they saw hundreds of stars shoot across the sky. The lights followed eachother and for a whole fifteen minutes it was sheer bliss and... magic. Felicity smiled at the sight her father showed her all those years ago. Slowly all the stars faded to their costomary places shining.

"That was amazing Felicity." Harry sighed.

"Isn't it... Who... Who did you think of?" Felicity nearly shivered but fought it.

"My mum..." Harry looked down and smiled,"My mum and dad, Hagrid, Hermione, Ron, Hedwig, and all my friends pretty much. You?"

"My mum and dad... and foster brothers and sisters. My foster parents and my dad. I mostly thought of my dad." She smiled

"It's getting late I'll see you tomorrow Felicity." Harry smiled and climbed down the tree.

"Hey Harry?"

"Hmm?"

"Thanks for sitting with me it makes a difference to share it with someone."

"Welcome." He smiled and walked away, and as he did though she couldn't hear him he said under his breath "I also thought of you." and nearly jumped the rest of the way.

Felicity sat in the tree longer she saw one more star pass as she said, "I thought of you Harry. I wish you had thought of me"

She wanted desperately to love and to be loved (Other than by her father). She always dreamed of a better life, and looked forward to tomorrow. She always hoped for good things that set her apart from most people in her position like Stacy and Jackie. They were abused for nine years and numerous times they had been bulimic or cut themselves.

She sivered and went back to the castle and to the common room. She continued thinking about her foster familly. Eric and Jack had been in the familly since Eric can remember. Their father had gotten very angry and after a series of complex events almost to gruesome to discribe he had pulled a gun on them putting thier mother in a coma and nearly killing both sons. He was arrested after that.

Strangly enough they had all become a family on Christmas eve. The two boys first and then Aden he had been found after his mother kicked him out the house for god knows what reason. His parents were trying to get their family back together. In Adens eyes he had made a family of his own and didn't want to go back. Aden had always said that Felicity was his mum, Eric and Jack his brothers, and Stacy and Jackie his aunts.

The twin girls had come the next year and when Felicity came to the family they all agreed that they were complete.

She almost smiled at the thought her misfit family was full of people like her the only difference was she had magic.

She had finally finished getting ready for bed and fell into a soft sleep.
