Chapter 26
Malfoy Got Run Over By a Reindeer
Meagan skipped back to the school. Harry followed behind. It was dawn. It had started to snow. In minutes, the ground was covered in three inches of snow. Harry wasn't sure by he thought that Meagan had conjured this up.
Meagan ran into the school, being as noisy as possible and not caring it was the crack of dawn. "YIPPIE!" She yelled, dancing to music only she could hear. Just then, Snape came around the corner. He stood shock still as Harry and Meagan, sopping wet and (in Harry's case) covered lip-gloss, made their way along the corridor.
"POTTER! DELMORE!" Snape roared. Meagan and Harry stopped. Meagan's bangs fell into her eyes. She blew them out of her face. "Hello Severus." She said. "It's Professor Snape to you." Snape spat. "Yeah, yeah, whatever." Meagan replied. Snape's face turned red and Meagan and Harry ran away laughing.
When the reached the portrait hole, Meagan opened the door and shouted, "BOOM BABY!" Harry grinned and scrambled in after her. Ron and Marykate were in front of the fire kissing. Meagan froze then cracked and started to laugh.
Ron and Marykate fell over and looked up to see the dripping and laughing Meagan and Harry. Meagan fell over and choked, "You-should-have-seen-your- faces!" Harry joined in. "Yeah! What a look!" He chirped.

It was Christmas Eve and Hagrid had gotten nine reindeer. Meagan and Harry watched as the Slytherin team practiced for an upcoming match. They sat next to each other, Harry's arm around Meagan's shoulder. Meagan leaned her head against Harry's shoulder.
Just then, there was a bang like a firecracker and Meagan and Harry sat up, suddenly alert. One of Hagrid's reindeer had escaped! And it was. Meagan blinked. And it was flying right this way. Yes indeedy, the reindeer was speeding towards the Quidditch field.
Malfoy, very unluckily, was facing the other way as all his team members flew away. Then, slowly, he turned around. He screamed. Like a girl. The reindeer ran right over Malfoy. Hagrid could be seen running from his hut and screaming, "RUDOPLH! COME BACK, RUPDOLPH!"
Meagan sprang into action, catching Malfoy in midair. But she had other things on her mind, rather than saving him. She made him zoom around the Quidditch field, his Nimbus 2001 hitting the ground with a crash. "I can fly!" He said, waving his arms. "He can fly!" Said the rest of the Slytherin team, sounding amused and awed.
Meagan then made Malfoy fly around the goalposts so that he grew dizzy. Then she made him fly through the hoops several times, making him the more dizzier. When Meagan was finished with him, she set him on the ground only to make him topple over. He was cross-eyed and didn't seem to be able to see correctly.
Meagan zoomed her eyesight to Malfoy, and was very pleased to see he had hoof prints on his forehead. "MALFOY HAS A HOOF-SHAPED SCAR! HAR HAR!" Meagan hollered, leaning out of the box. Malfoy tried to focus his eyes. He hollered some things that shouldn't be repeated and raised his arm, shaking his fist at her.
Then Meagan burst into song:
"Malfoy got run over by a reindeer,
Flying home from Hogwarts Christmas Eve,
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Harry, we believe!
He'd been drinking to much pumpkin juice,
And we begged him not to go,
But he forgot to take his potion,
And he flew outdoors into the snow!
When we found him Christmas morning,
At the scene of the attack,
He had hoof prints on his forehead!
And incriminating claws marks on his back!
Malfoy got run over by a reindeer,
Flying home from Hogwarts Christmas Eve,
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Harry, we believe!
Now we're all so proud of Pansy,
She's been taking this well!
Sitting there and watching Quidditch,
Drinking Butterbeer and playing Gobble Stones with her pal!
It's not Christmas with out Malfoy,
All of Hogwarts is dressed in black, (Although it usually is, Mac!)
And the Slytherins can't help but wonder,
Should they open up his gifts or send them back?
SEND THEM BACK!!!
Malfoy got run over by a reindeer,
Flying home from Hogwarts Christmas Eve,
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Harry, we believe!
Now the goose is on the house table,
And the pudding made of fig, (ahhh!)
And the blue and silver candles,
That would just have matched the hair in Malfoy's wig!
I've warned all my house and family,
Better watch out for yourselves!
They should have never given a flying license,
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves!
Malfoy got run over by a reindeer,
Flying home from Hogwarts Christmas Eve,
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Harry, we believe!
SING IT HARRY!
Malfoy got run over by a reindeer,
Flying home from Hogwarts Christmas Eve,
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Harry, we BELIEVE!!!
'Merry Christmas!'"
Meagan finished the song and paused for effect. The Slytherins stood gaping, and Harry was laughing so hard he almost fell out of the box. Silently, the gaping and awed Slytherins moved away. The whole team left Malfoy to stand staring up at the Gryffindor stands. Meagan and Harry then left Malfoy to stand on the Quidditch field. Meagan waved her hand and it began to snow.
Malfoy began to chase after Meagan and Harry. He tore across the field furiously. Laughing, Meagan and Harry ran into the safe, warm school building.
~*~
The next day was Christmas. Meagan awoke to see presents at the end of her bed. She squealed and ran foreword. She pulled the covers off Hermione as she tore across the room to her pile of presents. Hermione learned a new thing that day: Wrapping paper can fly.
Meagan threw the box of chocolate frogs from Ron onto her bed, seeming not to care about it. She unwrapped Lizzie and Sirius's present. Her hand froze and her face lit up in devilish delight. There, in her hands, lay the invisibility shoes. Hermione only too well that that present had been a mistake.
Meagan hid the shoes in her trunk and unwrapped a gift that said it was from James. She smiled broadly and shook her head. It was a book called, 101 Spells for Pranksters. Hermione also knew this was a mistake. But, she thought, Meagan, James, and Sirius were Marauders.
More wrapping paper flew in Hermione's direction as Meagan unwrapped the gift from Lupin. Meagan's eyes turned yellow in shock. "Oh, Remus, this is the number one gift anyone could get." She sighed. Hermione looked over Meagan's shoulder and saw a book. "It's just a book." Snorted Hermione.
"Not just any book." Said Meagan, holding up a book with a purple velvet cover with gold corners. "It shows you a complete map of anywhere you want! You just tap the book, say Humorus and the name of the place and it shows you a map, secret passageways and all. All the keys to unlock them too. It's just like the Marauders Map!" Her eyes turned bright purple.
Hermione gave a fluttering sigh. This was all Meagan needed, a map of everywhere. Meagan placed the book carefully into her trunk. Then she turned to the rest of her presents.
Meagan picked up the one from Hermione. She unwrapped it and sat on her feet. She grinned. It was a key. "How did you get your hands on one of these?" Asked Meagan. Hermione sighed. She knew it would make Meagan happy, but she never knew that Meagan would get invisibility shoes and a map of everywhere. "This is awesome! Now I can go anywhere in Hogwarts!" Meagan said. The key that Hermione had given Meagan, in fact, could open any door.
The next presents were from Ridere, Ferre, and. Meagan stopped. She completely froze. Hermione tapped her on the shoulder. Meagan didn't even react. She didn't seem to know Hermione was there. She reached out her shaking hand to the present. Hermione couldn't tell who it was from.
The present began to quake as Meagan's hand drew nearer. Meagan grabbed the present and her body seemed to light up. Her hair fanned out behind her and her eyes became wide. She gasped at the burst of energy that surged through the present. Hermione stood shock still as Meagan started to peel the wrapping paper off the trembling present.
Meagan dropped the present and shielded her eyes as she tore of the third piece of wrapping paper. There was a noise like an explosion and the wind grew so strong it blew both Meagan and Hermione over. The rest of the wrapping paper fell off as the present rose into the air. Meagan fought the wind and forced herself to sit up.
A glowing orb hung suspended in midair. It was the color of molten gold. Meagan searched through the wrapping paper for a note that had fallen out of it. It read:
Dear Meagan,
This is the Orb of Unstoppable Power that you have always wondered where I' have hidden it. I give it to you now. If you overuse your powers, use this to recharge. Just touch it and you will get a burst of energy. Use it well. I will meet you on December 28th near the Forbidden Forest.
Your long-lost friend,
Michael
Meagan read the letter over and over again. She beckoned the Orb of Unstoppable Power towards her and it came obediently. She put it in her trunk. Hermione was, by now, wondering how she was fitting all this stuff in her trunk.
"What is it?" Asked Hermione in a whisper. "It's the O.U.P." Meagan replied in a hushed voice.
"O.U.P.?"
"Orb of Unstoppable Power."
Meagan then rushed through the twin's presents. They were an enchanted model of the Eiffel Tower and a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans from France.
She ran down the stairs and ran headlong into Harry. "Oomph!" Harry said in a muffled shout. "Sorry Harry!" Meagan said, rolling off of him. "That's okay." Said Harry. They walked across the common room together. Many people were standing around the large picture of Malfoy being run over by a reindeer.
Harry kissed Meagan's forehead. "I have your Christmas present." He whispered. Meagan grinned. She had given him a small box that could fit anything and everything inside it.
Harry got down on his knee. He took Meagan's hand and looked desperately up into her face. His eyes were sparkling with hope and love. He caressed her smooth, soft hands. His hair had parted to show the lightning-bolt scar above his right eyebrow. His glasses reflected her face.
"Meagan," He whispered, "Will you marry me?"
Meagan's eyes turned yellow in shock. "But you're only seventeen!" She said. "I don't care," Harry replied, "I love you. I really, really love you." He pulled a ring out of his pocket.
Meagan flushed. Her eyes were sparkling blue and full of love. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. All the thoughts seemed to have disappeared from her mind and only Harry's face was in her head. She remembered their first kiss and how she had gotten her body back. She remembered what he had said to her, "I'll love you no matter who you look like. I'll love you no matter what." Then she came to her decision.
"Yes, Harry Potter, I will marry you." Meagan said. Harry took the engagement ring out of its case and slipped it onto her finger. The sapphire in it sparkled like Meagan's eyes. Harry got off his knee and kissed Meagan with a kiss. A kiss of true love. The purest love. A love that would connect them forever.
