It was almost Christmas. Emilie Louisa hated Christmas. Everyone went home for the holidays, but the Potter clan always had to stay.

"Emilie?" a quiet voice asked, disturbing Emilie Louisa's thoughts. The voice could only belong to one person, Lily Evans.

"Hi, Lils, what can I do for you?"

"Um… James said that you couldn't go home for Christmas. Why not?" Lily's eyes were filled with concern.

Emilie Louisa took a deep breath.

"We don't have a home."

Lily looked stunned. "What?"

"We don't have a home. We live at the Leaky Cauldron."

"Emilie?"

"Yes?"

"Would you like to come to my house for Christmas? David and Arwen and James and you and Mitchell can come. I'll ask my parents, but you'll have to sign."

"Really? Thanks Lily! That's the best thing anyone has ever done for us!" she gave Lily a hug. Lily blushed.

'Dear Mum and Dad,

This is Lily. How are you? I'm good. I made some friends. They're names are Mitchell, Emilie Louisa, Katalin, James, David and Arwen. Mum, Dad? My friends Emilie Louisa, James and David don't have a house. They live at the Leaky Cauldron. May Emilie, David, James, Arwen and Mitchell come for Christmas? It's important.

Love,

Lily'

Lily tied the letter to her owl's leg and sent her off.

'Dear Lily,

Your friends may come for Christmas. That was a nice thing you did for them.

Love,

Mum and Dad.'

Lily gave a little yell and ran to find David, Emilie, James, Arwen and Mitchell. When she found them, she said breathlessly,

"Come on, you guys! Let's find McGonagall! You're going to come to my house for Christmas!"

Emilie grinned. "Thank you," she mouthed.
