Chapter 6
Everyone woke up on Christmas morning very excited in Gryffindor Tower. Everyone was running around, giving out gifts and wishing their friends a merry Christmas.
Seamus finally gave Ginny the present that had caused the whole fight in the first place, and Ginny loved it. Again and again, she apologized for not trusting Seamus, and Ron did too.
Hermione did not have anything to give to her friends for Christmas gifts, but Harry told her that having her alive and well was the best present he could have gotten that Christmas.
After all the presents had been exchanged, the Gryffindors all went down for breakfast, and ate very little, saving their stomachs for the great feast that was to come later.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione went outside and had a snowball fight like they had in years passed, and they were joined by Melissa and Sirius, who may have been in their late thirties, but were still just kids at heart.
Soaking wet and covered in snow, they went back up to their common room and changed before joining Jill, Neville, Seamus, Dean, Ginny, Lavender and Parvati near the fire. They sang Muggle Christmas Carols and enjoyed their final Christmas together.
They went down to the banquet and enjoyed the beauty of the Great Hall, decorated for their final Christmas at Hogwarts. Harry sighed. He knew he would miss this place.
Every seventh year had stayed for the Christmas Holiday, knowing it would be a special one. And it way.
(What am I trying to pull here? This is boring! Let's cut to the chase!)
Back in the common room, Lavender, Parvati, and Jill went to the girl's room, and Seamus, Dean, and Neville went up to the boy's room.
That night, a pact was made between three people.
The girl was the one to propose the pact.
"Friends forever, no matter what comes. Put ourselves in danger before we put each other in danger. There for each other no matter what comes."
"Agreed," the two boys said.
They went up to bed that night, having enjoyed their Christmas, not knowing what was to come, not knowing that Hermione would wake up screaming, having been haunted by the same dream that had haunted Harry and Seamus not too long ago. They went to bed, not knowing of the fights between themselves and against enemies, not knowing..............
They went to bed happy.
The last one awake, the boy, heard it, and was the only one. Coming across the sky was a sleigh, with what looked like reindeer, and he heard a voice yelling, "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
The End
