I know this is short, but I had to quickly write this one up. Forgive meh.


Georgia pushed her luggage cart through the wall between Platform 9 and 10 at King's Cross once again. The holidays went by extremely fast. It just seems like yesterday it was Christmas.

Her holidays were as normal as they come. Josie and her spent most of the time walking through all of Ridgeview Green, like they owned the streets. Like they used to all the time. They spent afternoons sipping Peppermint Cream Hot Chocolates at The Roasted Bean, their favorite cafe, mornings having snowball fights in Forest Heights Park, the most gorgeous park in town, strolling through Nilla's Fresh Market while running errands for their parents and buying wine gums and Dairy Milks with the remaining cash, and evenings at the bowling alley and arcade. Nights were bounced back and forth between the two girl's homes, one night at Georgia's, the other at Josie's, etcetera.

Christmas was as normal as usual. She went to the drug store to find some Muggle candies and things to send to her friends. She chose some peppermint bark and some candy bars to send to Willow and Sadie, a box of chocolates and some cupcakes she bought at Sweet Sensations, the local bakery, that she thought he would like for Draco, and her and Josie had some fun trying to pick something out for Luna, who sent her a gift a few days before, and eventually settled on a interesting necklace made with random beads and a acorn charm in the center, and a box of tissues. Luna would find them extremely fascinating, Georgia knew that much.

She sent the gifts with Erwin, who came with presents from her friends on Christmas Eve, and slipped hers under the tree. Christmas Day came a few hours later, and Georgia was soon surround by her mum, dad and grandparents opening their gifts to her. The usual, clothes and socks from her mum and dad, but a nice pair of boots her gran got her impressed her more. Josie gave her her grandmother's old wizarding books, as she thinks Georgia would find them useful, and when her parents were occupied with something else, she opened the gifts from her friends:

Mercedes and Willow sent her a box full of wizarding treats: Mercedes' mum must've sent her more candies. Luna sent her a unusual-colored scarf, which Josie pointed out that if paired with the right outfit, might actually look good, and a few copies of The Quibbler, which Josie took as soon as she saw them. And, Draco got her a book on Charms and a package of Cauldron Cakes. She didn't really care about what she got; Christmas was just another day in her mind.

After Christmas Day came and left, she and Josie spent a weekend alone at Southend-on-Sea, taking the bus down and staying with Josie's uncle. After that, it was all skating on the pond (With Josie being her usual self and claiming that she can do a loop-loop jump (Still sounds difficult, but a big step down from years past and her attempting a triple salcow),but still falling on her face), sledding, and horse-drawn sleigh rides. Before the girls knew it, it was New Year's Eve, and they stayed up all night long, playing Monopoly and Super Mario Kart on Josie's brand new SNES she got for Christmas (Josie said that it was cool, but nothing like being able to do magic). After New Years Day, thing went by extremely fast. Now the holidays have ended and Georgia is headed back to Hogwarts. With her new clothes on and her hair in a high ponytail, she went into the New Year as confident she could be.

Back on the train she found herself, now. In a compartment by herself, she was finally able to get the privacy and silence she craved. Munching on snacks and reading her books, she knew Draco would be wondering where she was, but she didn't care. She'd deal with it later.

She felt her eyes getting heavy, the lack of sleep over the break was finally catching on. She closed her eyes and leaned up against the window as she started to doze off.

She was woke up suddenly a few hours later by the sound of her compartment door opening. Standing in the doorway, of course, was Draco.

"Where have you been?" He asked her.

"In here, sleeping... Thanks for waking me up." Georgia groaned. Draco smirked.

"Well you can thank me later. You might've missed getting off, and they'd take you back home. I don't think I'd miss you much, to be honest." He sneered as he sat down and helped himself to a Chocolate Frog.

"Git." Georgia said sleepily and chucked an empty box of Every-Flavor Beans at him.

"Ow! That wasn't very nice!" Draco mocked sarcastically.

"You deserved it." Georgia stuck her tongue out at him.

"Now, if I cared, I would ask you how your holidays were, but you know me." he smirked. "Also I ate all your cakes in a day, and I don't regret it one bit."

"Yeah, the local bakery is super good. I miss the sweets there sometimes." Georgia sighed. Draco helped himself now to a pack of Fizzing Whizzbees. "Also, thanks for the book."

"It's no problem. Besides, it's your best subject, and maybe with that, you could impress Filtwick and earn us some house points."

"And there's the part in it about you." Georgia groaned.

"Of course. Why would I give it to you if I thought you would enjoy it and it not have any way of somehow benefiting me? You know me better than that!" Draco exclaimed.

"You are the world's biggest prat. And the saddest part about it all is that you know it."

"You bet. And that's why you like me so much."

"And an even sadder fact is that I must agree with you, Malfoy."

"Train's slowing down." Draco said suddenly.

"We're almost there? Good. I can't stand much more of you." Georgia smirked.

The two gathered up their things and hopped off the train the moment it stopped. Draco led her into a carriage without a horse or anything hooked up to it and they sat down inside.

"I've never been in this before." Georgia stated.

"How'd you get down to the station, then?" Draco asked her.

"We walked. It was long, but nice." she sighed.

"This should get us up to the castle in about five to ten minutes." Draco said, as the carriage started moving. Georgia didn't question how it was being pulled, she's used to those sorts of things.

"Good. I can't wait to head to my dorm for a rest. That is, if I can keep Summers and Freeman away. They will bombard me with a million questions." she said as she laid down on the row of seats.

"Are you okay?" Draco asked, looking down at Georgia.

"Just tired. The strain of the holidays is hitting me." she groaned. She stayed like this until the carriage stopped and Draco was picking up his things. Georgia got up and grabbed her own luggage, and the two left for the castle together. Along the way, they received looks from gawking second-years and Georgia saw Sammie Haliway giggling and pointing at them alongside her Ravenclaw girlfriend and Parkinson shouted, "Draco?! You're not seriously hanging out with the Mudblood again? You really need to show Newton where she belongs.", although Georgia could sense slight fear in her voice. "Obviously not wanting me to hex her again", she thought.

"Just don't do anything, Newton. We really don't need points taken away from us if you attack her again." Draco whispered to her.

"You are such a selfish git." Georgia rolled her eyes at him.
