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.
