The night before winter break, everyone was busily talking and packing. Cri
and Meri where so excited that they both finished packing and went to bed
at 6:30.
The next morning Meri and Cri went into Hogsmeade station carrying two cats and two owls. When the train came they loaded all their things into an empty compartment and sat down. They let the owls and cats out and started talking about what they would do over the break.
At noon the Plump witch with the food cart came and asked if they wanted anything. Cri bought a couple of chocolate frogs and some bottles of pumpkin juice. Meri bought some Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans.
When the train finally pulled into Hogwarts Express Station platform 9 ¾, it was almost dark. They unloaded their things and changed into Muggle clothing. Cri and Meri exited the train with their things. Cri quickly spotted her parents. "Mum! Dad! I've missed you guys so much! This is Meri." She pulled Meri into the spotlight. "Cri's told us so much about you It's great to finally meet you." Cri's father, Cyrus, said shaking his hand. "You'll have a great Christmas with us. Lets go now, its almost dark." Said her mother ,Isabella. They left the platform and headed for their car.
It only took about an hour to get home. As they pulled onto the estate, Meri's eyes widened. "What a beautiful and Huge place!" He said, mesmerized.
When they finally got down the Long driveway, They un loaded the car. They entered the house. The house was like a mansion; with two large staircases in the foyer that led to a balcony looking over the great room. At the top was a door that no doubt must have lead to the bedrooms, Meri thought. Cri led him up one of the staircases. His suspicion had been true. The Hallway was wide and contained five bedrooms. They went all the way down the hall and turned right. There were another five bedrooms here. "Pick a room, except that one." She said, pointing to a room at the end of the hall. He opened the door to the first room and looked inside. It was a huge room painted a dark blue. Little golden stars where painted on the walls and the bed was huge with a thick golden quilt. There was a Balcony on the sidewall. He considered it for a moment and went to look at the other rooms.
The second room had crimson walls and a balcony as well. The bed had a think black quilt.
The third room had black walls with many lit candles. This room also had a balcony. He didn't like this room.
The third and final room was a serene green. There were candles lit and there was also a balcony. He went back to the first room, which was also the room closest to Cri's room and set his things down. He let Artemis and Zeus out and they immediately found places to sleep. He walked into a room on the side, it was a bathroom that was also connected to Cri's room. It was a huge bath room with a huge tub in the center. The walls were painted gold and the tile on the floor was dark blue.
"Can I see your room?" He asked. She opened the opposite door and it held her room. The walls where painted silver; Her bed was large and has silk see-through material hanging around it. The quilt on it was thick and crimson. Painted on her wall was the silhouette of a Large Black Dragon. The room was very tidy. This room also had a balcony. Cri let her pets out as well, and Gemini jumped onto the bed. Helios perched on her headboard. "Let me show you the rest of the house." She smiled. They went back down stairs and through the door in the foyer under the balcony. It opened into a large sitting room with big black couches and a huge fireplace. Six large, comfortable looking chairs sat around the room in a circle. "This is the Family room. That sixth chair over here is now appointed your chair!" Cri said happily, and led him through another door. This door led to the dining room. There was a large mahogany table with six chairs. They passed this and went into the next room. It was the Kitchen. The counter tops were black marble and the floor tile was white. Here they met up with Cri's Mother. "We will eat shortly after you show him the rest of the house." She said to them with a smile. They walked out and walked into a large room lined with bookcases. In the middle was a large desk where Mr. Mericumis was reading a very large, and old book. "Oh hello guys. Having fun?" He asked. They nodded and left him alone. "yeah my family has a thing for books." Said Cri. They came into another sitting area. Here There was one large, circular couch with a space large enough to walk through, sitting in front of a large fireplace. Large glass doors lead into the back deck, which overlooked the land. On the deck, they looked up at the stars for a while. "That concludes the tour. What do you think?" Cri asked. "I think that I wish I lived here." He said. He looked over at the forest-lined land. The family could easily play Quiddich here without a Muggle ever noticing. There was a large pond, the large full moon was reflected on its surface. "You're lucky. You have a family that cares so much for you and a home that you love. I wish I felt that way. I know my parents love me, but they just don't ever seem to have the time to listen or anything. I'm sorry, I just feel like I could tell you everything." He finished. "I didn't know it was like that for you. I'm sorry. Meri, you can tell me everything. I'm your girlfriend and your best friend. I will always be here for you." She smiled at him. "Dinner time guys." Said a voice behind them. Cri recognized the voice immediately. She turned to see her oldest sister, Jerrika, standing in the doorway. Jerrika was tall and thin and had waist length dark red hair. She had bright green eyes. "Jerrika! I've missed you so Much! This is Meriximus, or Meri." Announced Cri. "Pleased to meet you. I've heard much about you." She smiled and Meri could see the family resemblance.
They headed for dinner where they all joked and laughed. Meri felt at home here.
