My firts time at Albus' parents house.
My family was gone for Christmas, so his parents invited me. They are really nice so far, even Lily is. Only James is not, but he always had had something against me on school. Allright, I know I am not ecactly popular and that that is probably the reason why he never liked me. I just don't get why. You would think that he has grown up, but that really is none of my concern. Albus is way better than him.

After lunch, Mr. and Miss. Potter ask Albus and me to decorate the Christmas tree. Apparantly, they usually do it themselves and want some help this year. Albus complains. 'That is not my task!'
'This year you have help,' Mr. Potter says.
He looks at me. 'I never did it before-' I start to say. Albus interups me.'See?'
'But t could be fun,' I add.
Albus looks at me. I smile. I like challenges. His parents thank us and leave us to the empty tree with boxes. 'Scorp.. I know you like challenges, but..'
'This is one as well.'
'You're crazy,' Albus says.
Nevertheless he opens the boxes wth ornaments. I pick out a red bauble and try to put it in one of the higher branches, since I am the taller one out of us. However I lose my balance and fall. Albus laughs. I look at him. 'Thanks a lot for helping me,'
'You wanted a challenge. This clearly is,'
'Not funny, Al,'
'To me it is,'
He grins, but starts putting ornaments in the tree as well. I get up and help, carefully. I don't want to fall again.

The tree looks lovely, when Albus and I step back. There only is something missing on top of it. 'Don't fall this time,' Albus says.
I shake my head as I pick out a nice, fitting peak. I put it safely on top of the tree and want to stand steadily on the ground afterwards, but I misstep and almost fall again. I regain my balance just in time. Something Albus laighs about. I shake my head. 'Ha ha.' I say sarcastically.
Albus just shrugs and looks at me. 'Great hhallenge, Scorp?' he asks.
'Yes!' I say. 'However, this is an one time thing. Never again.'
