When Ginny woke up she rolled over in bed to see that Lily and Alice were already gone, cursing Ginny hopped out of bed and got ready to head down for breakfast.

When Ginny was about to enter the great hall she heard someone calling her name, turning around she spotted Severus with his backpack swinging at his side wildly.

"Hi Severus," Ginny greeted her friend smiling.

"Hi Ginevra, how're you feeling?" Severus asked awkwardly as the students walking into the great hall threw the pair odd looks.

"It was just a bad dream, I was only in the hospital wing so that Madam Pomfrey could make sure I got a good night sleep. She said the dream was probably brought on by stress and not enough sleep," Ginny shrugged, giving off her well-rehearsed excuse she dished to her friends last night.

"Well that's good then- I mean that you got sleep," Severus added awkwardly.

"Yea," Ginny nodded smiling as she started to walk through the double doors.

"If you want less stress I'm in the library tonight," Severus added taking a step forward.

Ginny turned to look at her friend confused.

"Well Slughorn's quiz is tomorrow," Severus mumbled looking chest falling.

"Oh gosh that's right I completely forgot!" Ginny exclaimed as her hands shot to her face in shock.

"Well I'll be running over notes with Regulus, if- well if you wanted to join us," Severus continued as he awkwardly fixed the strap on his bag.

"Oh I would, you would be helping so much!" Ginny exclaimed smiling at Severus.

"Not a problem," Severus said with a small smile.

"See you in potions?" Ginny added as they walked through the doors as she started towards the Gryffindor table.

"Yea, see you," Severus nodded as he ducked his head and started towards the Slytherin table.

"Nice of you to wake me up," Ginny commented, addressing Alice and Lily as she swung into the open seat beside Sirius.

"You were asleep," Lily replied, stating the obvious.

"We didn't want to wake you," Alice nodded as she reached for her goblet.

"You know if you would have stayed in my room, we would have still be awake come breakfast," Sirius winked as he leaned over to kiss her.

"Ew, some of us are trying to eat," Alice shrieked as she dropped her toast.

"The only thing keeping her up would be Peter's snoring," James laughed.

Peter aimed a sausage at James, but it flew past his shoulder and hit Gideon in the face.

"Oi!" Gideon called, who was just walking behind James to meet his friends further down the table.

"Nice one Pete," Sirius barked as he laughed.

"You're lucky I'm not a vegetarian," Gideon added, as Peter turned bright red and mumbled an apology.

"And we hope you aren't either little Molly," Fabian added poking around Gideon from where he caught the sausage that bounced off his twin.

"I'm not," Ginny answered laughing as Fabian took a bite.

"Good, because we're not, and we love our sister's cooking too much to have to suffer through vegetarian dishes throughout the break," Gideon laughed, knocking the sausage out of his brother's hand and onto the floor.

"Well you don't have to worry," Ginny laughed along with the others at the look of horror on Fabians face as he watched the sausage fall to the ground.

"We were worried though," Gideon added the laughter disappearing from his face.

"We heard you were in the hospital wing," Fabian continued shooting his brother a death glare for his fallen snack.

"It was just to catch up on some rest," Ginny cut them off.

"Even so," Gideon said with a shake of his head.

"You'll get all break to catch up on sleep," Fabian nodded reaching over and plucking a new sausage off of Lily's plate.

"Although you will have to join in on the traditional Prewett Christmas Quidditch match," Gideon laughed as Lily smacked Fabian's hand.

"Excellent!" James cut in perking up. "The three of you can practise the drills I handed out at our last meeting."

"What's that more sausage down there?" Gideon called cupping his ear, as if straining to hear something.

"Right behind you brother," replied Fabian his mouth already full of his stolen sausage.

"I doubt you'll be getting any sleep staying with them," Alice laughed as the twins headed further down the table.

"Why'd you want to stay with them anyways?" Peter asked as he not so stealthily reached for Lily's last sausage.

Lily pulled her plate out of his reach and shot him a death glare as she answered "Don't even think about it."

"He's right you probably would have gotten more sleep staying at the school anyways," Alice stated as she spread jam onto her toast.

"They just remind me of some people I used to know," Ginny answered as she glanced down at her uncles as they flirted with some sixth year girls.

"Besides, no one wants to stay by themselves for the holidays," Remus added coming to her defence.

Ginny smiled across the table at Remus, as James and Sirius launched into tales about their plans for over the break.

iwantmore123: It's not that I'm going to be absent, it's just that since I finished school at the end of March i'm working two jobs, and basically have zero days off - what a great summer *groan* so it's basically all I do in my free time is sleep because i'll have to be back at work when I wake up, so in my free time I try and write when I can, and I always feel bad when there's a gap between updates :( But I'm sop glad you like the story!
