Chapter Ten

James and I were all packed, we were going home for the Christmas holidays. I missed mum and dad so we told them we would come home this year. We boarded the train and sat with Sirius who wasn't as thrilled about Christmas as I was. "I always have to go to the Black family Christmas Party, it's horrible I just get dirty looks from all my family. Hope you guys have a better Christmas then I will." I felt kind of bad, he was out of place with his family. "Thanks but hey we will owl you as much as possible alright. Try not to be to disappointed with Christmas." Sirius just smiled. "Drusilla Cordeilla Elizabeth Rosalie Nyomi Pricilla Hayden Adriana Potter, James Charles Potter. Hurry up, we must get going to get to your grandparents. Oh, hello there I'm Dru's and James mother." My mum always yelled my full name when we were in a hurry. "Mum this is Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew they are mine and James' friends. Please don't use my full name it's so long." I looked at my mum who smiled. "Dru you were named after the women in our family seeing as you are the first female in quite a few decades to be born to your fathers' side. But we must get going, It was nice to meet you all. Happy Christmas." I turned to look at the boys " If you ever use my name against me you will pay." I threatened with a smile. "happy Christmas" was the last thing I said before we left.

When we got to Gram's and Gramp's, they had dinner all set for us to eat. "How has been your first term so far?" Gran wanted to know everything about our first year. "Well it's been fun really, the classes aren't that bad but the people, mainly the Slytherin's are horrible. James and I are on the Quiditch team, James is a chaser while I'm the youngest seeker in history." My Gran congratulated me and James, I was thinking about my friends while mum and Gran talked about random things. I was hoping Sirius was having fun, I could tell James was worried about him to. "Hey, James you think when we get home we should owl Sirius?" I asked knowing he would want to. "So Dru, James tell us about your friends." Gran insisted. " Well Sirius Black, is nice he isn't really what he family wants I guess. Being that he is in Gryffindor while the entire Black family has been in Slytherin, Then there is Remus Lupin, he's very smart, studies hard. There is also Peter Pettigrew he is kind of quiet." James and I both told Gran about our friends. "Dru do you have any girlfriends I mean it seems you hang out with these three and your brother?" Yes, Gran I have a few, There is Lily Evans she's a muggle born and there is Alice Groate who is also on our Quiditch team." I knew Gran would want me hanging out with more girls. "But Gran you know I get along better with the boys. It's almost more natural." I said, knowing she would disapprove. Dad cleared his throat "Dru you will be around enough boys when you start growing up a bit more, try to play with more girls please." My father gave me the sad, I don't want my little girl growing up look. "Alright daddy, but for your sake only. I'll be careful around the boys" I said mockingly. Which reminded Gramps' "James seen any cute girls you like yet?" Grandpa is
always so joking when it comes to girls, he knows James will have plenty of time for girls and plenty of girlfriends. "A few Granddad. But I'm more interested in Quiditch at the moment." I knew he was lying, but he threw in the end part for mum's sake. Mum just smiled at him.
