Hi everyone! Here's the 4th part ;) I'm really glad you guys liked the 3rd part of my story,although I did get a couple of questions.And since i myself hate reading fic that are confusing,I'm going to answer them right now!
(1)Wasnt Angelina supposed to be a 7th year in GoF? (she should have graduated already...)
A:I just KNEW someone was going to ask me that! Well the thing is,i didnt make her graduate peacefully cause i couldnt think up of a new character to take her place and plus,i just thought that the Quidditch team wouldnt be the same with out her...(I guess I'm pretty sentimental....)
(2) Are there that many V's in bulgarian words??
A:Okay so I over did the V's in Krum's lines.I know how irritating it is when the lines of a character get annoying and i sincerely apologize to those who thought it was.Dont worry i'll try to cut down on that.
Now that thats over and done with,on to my fic!!

Things were considerably normal after the inccident with the raging bludger.Ron came back from the hospital wing with Hermione fussing over him,and Harry noticed that Ron's nose was slightly crooked even after Madame Pomfrey had a look at it.Krum came to visit Hermione everyday,and despite Ron's more than subtle protests, the pair of them would take long walks around the snow covered grounds,or hang around the library,talking about all sorts of things.
Christmas season was in the air,and nobody seemed to be enjoying it more than the twins,who had signed up to stay for christmas,saying that since it was their last year at Hogwarts they might as well stay and take in as much as they could of "Ol' Hogwarts",as George put it.The other members of the Gryffindor Quidditch team agreed with Fred and George and had also decided to stay.
Ginny who was Ron's younger sister,however,decided to go and visit Charlie with Mr and Mrs.Weasley in Romania.
"Too bad Ginny decided to go back home," said Harry the day before Christmas,as he hung a big shiny christmas ball onto the giant christmas tree that was standing in the corner of the Gryffindor common room.
"She's missing an awful lot of fun you know..." continued Harry."Oh....are you beginning to miss my dear little sister,Harry??" asked Ron grinning at Harry from the other side of the Christmas tree."You know what i mean Ron." snapped Harry.But Ron continued to tease Harry,"And exactly what do you mean,eh?","Come off it" said Harry throwing one of the christmas balls he was holding at Ron.Just then Hermione strode in,wobbling at the effort of carrying two big boxes filled with other decorations,Harry and Ron could barely see Hermione's head and walked towards her to take the boxes from her."Thanks," she said sitting down."How are Fred and George doing outside?" asked Ron,who put the box down near the Christmas tree and sat down opposite of Hermione."Oh,their having the time of their lives out there," said Hermione glancing at the Christmas tree Harry and Ron had been working on for the past hour,"I saw them bewitching a fig of mistletoe to float over Angelina's head where ever she went.Poor Angelina,Fred keeps going up to her and kissing her on the cheek saying that she can't make an excuse because there's that mistletoe over them!"
Harry and Ron broke into laughter."You should have tried that while Ginny was around,Harry!" said Ron clapping Harry on the shoulder,laughing.Harry wanted to get back at Ron by saying why shouldnt Ron try it so that he could kiss Hermione,but thought that Ron would just explode with all these lame excuses not to, and satisfied himself by giving Ron a nasty look.Ron got the point and just exchanged a grin with Hermione.
"So,have you two finished your Christmas shopping?" asked Hermione picking up a small father christmas.
"Oh!" said Ron clapping his hand onto his forehead,"There's one more thing i have to buy! I totally forgot about it!"."Who's it for?" asked Harry surprised,"Its for-er-for,well someone." said Ron,ears going red.
Hermione eyed Ron suspiciously,but said nothing."Could i borrow your invisiblity cloak,Harry? I'll just go down to Hogsmeade,get the-er-stuff,and be back in no time." said Ron looking at Harry."Ok,but you be better make it fast,its almost dark." Hermione then snapped up,"What time is it?" she asked,"It's five thirty,why?" answered Ron."Viktor said he'd come and meet me outside around this time!" she said getting up.
Ron frowned."I'll meet you two again at dinner"she said,"Ok" said Harry,and she left through the portrait hole in a hurry."Do you think that Krum'll come to tomorrow's feast? He really doesnt have to..." said Ron after Hermione left.
"Maybe...Hermione just might invite him." said Harry going back to the christmas tree.
"Yeah....," said Ron glumly,"Well i better get going to Hogsmeade." and with that he swept up to the boy's dormitories and in a few minutes came back down with a shimmering cloak,that looked like it was made out of water."What did i have to say to that one-eyed witch again? Dimmendium was it?",asked Ron standing near the portrait hole,"Its Dissendium,Ron" said Harry.
"Right-Dissendium." repeated Ron,and he opened the portrait hole and went off to the third floor to the statue of the one-eyed witch.
Harry bustled around decorating the enormous christmas tree alone.
A christmas ball here,an angel here,maybe he could put up the star at the top now,thought Harry,stepping back to survey the tree.He bent down to look around for the star.
Where is it? it should be here somewhere...
Then all of a sudden he straightened up,a question flashed through his head and he looked up at the christmas tree.Who's present had Ron had forgotten to buy? Thought Harry.
He went back to looking for the star,trying to figure out who the recipient of Ron's last christmas present was.
A few hours later,Harry entered the great hall with Fred and George who were telling Harry all about the mistletoe they had bewitched.Ron and Hermione still weren't back and Harry sat down beside the twins.Angelina,Alicia and Katie then followed chattering animatedly about something.Harry started to snigger when he saw the mistletoe Fred and George had bewitched floating smoothly three feet above Angelina.
The three girls sat down on the other side of the twins.Fred immediately scooted over to Angelina,but before he could say anything,Angelina snapped,"Don't you dare!". Fred tried to complain,but Angelina turned away and continued chatting with Alicia and Katie."I really don't know whats gotten into her," said Fred turning to Harry,grinning."Where's Ron,and Hermione?" asked George."Oh,Hermione's probably somewhere on the grounds,walking with Krum,and Ron-" Harry lowered his voice so that only the twins could hear,"He went out to Hogsmeade," the twins raised their eye brows,"Why?" they asked."Said he forgot to buy something for someone,so he went back there by the one-eyed witch." explained Harry.
"Forgot to buy something for someone?" said George turning to Fred."You dont know who this someone is do you?" said Harry looking at the twins.
"No idea."
Harry heard a soft thump beside him and saw Hermione,who was very pink in the cheeks."My,its nice and warm in here," she said smiling."Hi,Hermione.Have you seen Ron?","No,he's not back yet?" said Hermione,straightening up.A look of worry was beginning to show on her face,and Harry quickly said,"Oh,well I'm sure he'll be back soon,probably went to the common room first."
A few minutes more passed,Hermione told Harry about her walk with Krum up to the Astronomy tower.
"-it was very pretty from up there,you could see the whole grounds of Hogwarts! But it was a little chilly,so Viktor lent me his coat-" Harry thought at this point that it was lucky Ron wasnt around to hear this or he'd have chucked a psycho at once.
Dinner was about to begin,and still Ron didnt arrive.Then,just as the teachers were beginning to walk into the hall,the door on the other side opened,and Ron came running in,tucking something that looked like a small black box into the pocket of his robes."Hi," he said trying to catch his breath,"Sorry,did i miss anything?" he asked taking the seat beside Hermione."No,dinner's just about to start.What took you so long?" asked Hermione."Well,you know," began Ron looking at his plate waiting for the food to appear,"People rushing around to do some last minute shopping....oh,good! food!" he said as their dinner materialized on their plates."You really shouldnt go around buying christmas presents that were'nt planned,Ron," said Hermione filling her goblet with pumpkin juice,"Well it was planned! I've been planning to buy it,for a long time-i-just forgot" said Ron,looking up at Hermione.And Harry saw Ron fiddle with something in his robe pocket."Well,if you say so-" said Hermione,passing the jug of pumpkin juice to Ron.
Christmas eve dinner in the great hall was a pleasant affair.The stars twinkled brightly above them,and once or twice proffesor Dumbledore would crack a joke across to the students,making the hall echo with laughter.
Angelina finally figured out how to get the mistletoe from floating above her and got back at Fred by making it float above him.And George who saw this cried aloud,
"Why Fred! We're under a mistletoe!-Aww,really! you didnt have to!", and grabbed his brother by the neck and kissed him on the cheek.Everyone was rolling with laughter,as Fred made a face and tried to push George away.
After dinner,they all went back to the common room,Harry felt very full and drowsy.They entered the common room and Ron said,"Harry,how come you havent put up the star yet?" pointing at the top of the christmas tree,which was shimmering in the corner."Star? Ah,well i've looked for it already but i just couldnt find it," said Harry and threw himself into a fluffy armchair right infront of the tree.The twins and Angelina,Katie and Alicia were sitting infront of the fireplace roasting marshmallows,talking.
"No star?" said Ron looking at Harry,Hermione was standing beside Ron,examining the decorations Harry had put up."Well,no problem,we'll just have to make one!" continued Ron cheerfully,and he pulled out his wand muttered something and pointed it at the tip of the christmas tree.
Nothing happened.
Ron tried again,but only a flimsy golden star that seemed to be made out of something like gello popped out from the tip of his wand.Hermione started to giggle,and walked up to Ron."No Ron,your doing it wrong," she said smiling,"Here,you say 'Vesper Navidad' then you have to concentrate on something you like about Christmas,and point it at the tree," she said.Ron looked at the gold star that was still floating around in the air like a jelly-fish,sheepishly."Come on,will do it together," said Hermione holding the hand in which Ron had his wand in,"it should work if both of us said the spell." Harry grinned in his chair,he saw Ron's ears go red again and he was staring at Hermione."On three,ok." said Hermione,unaware that Ron was staring at her.
"Er-alright," said Ron awkwardly."One-two-three-," "Vesper Navidad!" they both said,and Hermione held out Ron's hand in hers and pointed at the top of the tree.
Everyone in the common room turned to look at the the tree,while Harry stood up in awe.
There,shining atop the giant christmas tree,was the most beautiful star Harry had ever seen.Those plastic one's were nothing to what Ron and Hermione had conjured up,it was glowing brightly and little pointed stars that emitted their own cheery glow, seemed to be gushing out of its points, slowly spiralling down around the christmas tree,and bouncing off everything and everyone like bubbles.
"Its so pretty!" squealed Alicia coming over to them."Wow....," said George.Ron and Hermione turned back from the tree and faced each other,beaming."Did you two make that star?" asked Katie,"Well,obviously-" and Fred pointed at Ron and Hermione,who were still holding hands.They both blushed furiously and let go,
"How did you do that?" asked Harry popping one of the stars that bounced of his shoulder."I dunno.."
answered Ron,shrugging."This is the best Christmas eve ever," said Angelina starting to get teary eyed.Fred walked over to her and put an arm around her which Angelina didnt refuse,"Dont cry Angelina," he said rubbing her shoulder,"Lets not think about sad things shall we?" he said,now turning to everyone else,"lets just enjoy this evening ok."
Katie and Alicia who were also leaning into each other nodded their heads.Hermione went over and sat down beside Harry.Harry glanced at her and noticed that she too was starting to get teary eyed.
George broke the silence,when he let one of his filibuster fireworks go with a loud bang.
"Ok,everyone enough crying!" said George with a smile."I George Weasley,happen to have a christmas story to tell! Who wants to hear??" announced George.Everybody smiled and looked at each other and moved themselves to gather around George.They all sat down around George,who began to tell his comical tale about how Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer got his red nose.Harry who was sitting between Ron and Hermione couldnt help notice that Ron was still fiddling with something in the pocket of his robes,glancing every so often at Hermione.
George's voice faded in Harry's ear and Harry had to agree with Angelina; This was the best Christmas eve ever.
