So, as you probably assumed, I had major writer's block on this story. I just had no idea what to start off with next chapter, and it lasted for the rest of my summer break. I'm so sorry that I spaced on the day, but I promised I would update today, which I am! Thank you so much for the reviews!

I groaned at the light coming through the window, and rolled over to my other side. Something hit the floor with a thud, probably knocked off my bed by my leg. I sat up and yawned, and looked at the floor. A red wrapped present with a white bow stared back up at me, begging to be opened.

It was Christmas! How could I not remember that? I smiled as I bent down to pick up the present. It was from Amber. I looked around, but Amber wasn't in the room. She must've gotten up early, a rare thing since she always wanted beauty sleep.

I tucked the package under my arm and headed to the common room, where I found Amber laughing with Harry, Ron, and Fabian.

She smiled widely when she saw me, especially when she noted the gift under my arm. "It took you long enough to get up!" Amber scolded. "I've had to listen with this gang of blokes for more than an hour!" I smiled, and sat down next to her. "Well, do you want me to open this or not?" I asked, referring to my Christmas present. "Open it!" Amber said brightly, adjusting her pink nightgown.

I ripped the wrapping paper, to find…a book? "Wow, Amber Millington bought a BOOK?" Ron joked. Amber cast him a dark look, and said to me, "It has all different kinds of spells as to fashion and makeup. You can even conjure up some articles of clothing with it!" "Aw, Amber, I love it," I grinned and hugged her.

Fabian gave me a box of chocolate frogs-I LOVE the stuff-and Ron gave me a book on Quidditch. 'I'm not letting any friend of mine not know about the history of Quidditch!' is what he said. Harry gave me a picture of him and me in a silver frame. I was at the moment high-fiving him and laughing.

The last gift I got was from Gran. It was a watch pendant, with the words engraved on the inside: The bond that links your true family is not by blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. I smiled at the quote, and carefully slipped it on, tucking it under my pajama top with my eye of Horus necklace.

On the other hand, I gave Amber a gift card of 50 galleons for Broomsticks and Beauty, a department store she LOVED. Fabian got Hogwarts: A History, (he is such a dork, since he mentioned that he wanted to read that!) and I gave Ron a book on soccer, since he had no idea what that was, and was annoyed at Seamus Finnegan for raving about it so much. For Harry, I gave him a photo of our parents.

He sat quietly, looking at it. "Where'd you get this?" he asked quietly. "Gran gave me a picture of them when I was little. When you said that you hadn't even seen a picture of them, I decided to give it to you. Is it too small…?" "No, it's perfect," he said quietly, hugging me. I smiled into the embrace of my brother.

"Wait! Harry, you have one more present!" Ron said, pulling out another gift from a corner. "What?" Harry asked, gently pulling back from the hug. "Yeah, and it doesn't say who sent it." Harry stood up and opened the card. He read it, and a perplexed look took over his face. He ripped open the present, and held up a shimmery fabric.

Why would a person send him fabric? And who would make it anonymous? Probably a trick by Malfoy. I looked at Fabian and Amber, who were now staring in fascination. What? I turned back around, and screamed. Harry's head was floating in midair.

Not the best chapter, but let me get back on track!
