The Next day, Meri got to meet Cri's other sister Teriphiro. She looked like an older, more matured version of Cri, who resembled their mother. Meri and Cri woke early and dressed and showered. Cri decided she would show him the land next. "This is the Dragon stable." Cri said with much pleasure in her voice. There where three small dragons in large pens. They looked extremely happy when they saw Cri come up. Next, She showed him the homemade Quiddich field (which actually looked quite good). They didn't play because both said they weren't that good at it and didn't want to embarrass themselves. They went back to the house at noon to find Mr. Mericumis yelling something about the Daily Prophet. "What's wrong Dad?" Asked Cri. "Read this." He said, handing her the Daily Prophet. It read,

A new species of Dragon was found back in September. The two witches who found them were Jerrika and Teriphiro Mericumis, sisters of a family of five. When questioned what the breed was like, Teriphiro Mericumis, twenty- two, responded "A beautiful breed it is. It's kind of like a cross between a Hungarian Horntail and a Chinese Fireball. We decided to call it the Transylvania Firetail. We hope to find out more about this breed but for now we don't really know anything."

This story remains unfinished and shall be continued later.

"So dad, what's so bad about that? Teriphiro and Jerrika got in the paper." She asked. "Look at the picture." He said. The picture was of an unfamiliar dragon breed. "I took that picture and they edited it or something." He said, "The breed looks nothing like that!" He finished. Meri and Cri just silently laughed and walked to the sitting room with the circular couch.

"Lets practice some spells." Said Meri. She agreed and they got their spell books. Artemis and Gemini lazily followed them and sat on the couch as well.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" Shouted Meri and Artemis was lifted into the air. He floated toward Meri and landed lightly on his lap. They practiced their spells for a couple of hours until dinner came.

Days passed until Christmas Eve came. The house had been decked out in decoration and snow was falling in sheets outside. The Christmas tree was in the sitting room with the six large chairs. Meri and Cri had decided they would stay up together while everyone else was sleeping. At midnight they snuck out of their rooms and into the sitting room with the large circular couch.

"Cri. I knew I loved you when I first met you, you know that?" Meri asked her and he put his arm around her shoulders. She eased closer to him. "You're the best friend I've ever had Meri. I loved you too. I always will." Cri answered back. After three hours of talking, they finally went to bed.

On Christmas day, they woke early and met in the Family Room. They were all there and already dressed. There was a huge mound of gifts for each of them. Meri and Cri go theirs, said their Thank you's and started opening gifts. Meri got a dragon fang necklace from his father and a 3D globe of the universe from his mother. Mrs. Mericumis gave him a satin red collar with the name "Artemis" on it for his cat. On the collar hung a little charm of a Star. Mr. Mericumis gave him a thick heavy book named "Mysterious Magical Felines" by Merinda Blake. Jerrika gave him a Journal with his name printed in Gold lettering on the front. Teriphiro gave him a new set of Gobstones. He opened his last gift, which was from Cri. It was a picture in a very handsome wooden frame. The picture inside was moving. It was a picture of the dance that they had danced at the Halloween Ball. The figures in the picture twirled and danced in perfect strokes. This was Meri's favorite gift.

Cri had gotten a wand Polishing kit from Jerrika. A Phoenix 280, the fastest model racing broom yet, from Teriphiro. A large book called "Cat Curses" also by Miranda Blake, from her father, and A Black satin collar with the name Gemini printed in silver lettering on it. A dragon charm hung from it. Cri's last present was from Meri. She opened it up and found a small moving figurine of a Hungarian Horntail. It sneezed and wisps of smoke came from its nose. Also there was a small box. She opened it; it was a beautiful silver ring with what looked like a glass bead with swirling white mist in it on top. When she looked closer she realized that it was actually a tiny crystal ball. She hugged Meri, then her parents and then her sisters.

When this was all done, Meri and Cri got a cup of hot cocoa and went to watch her sisters play Quiddich. The huddled together to keep warm; they had so much fun laughing at them. Finally it was Cri's turn to try out her new broom.

She hopped on and flew in perfect formation. She never knew she could fly so good. "I thought you couldn't fly!" Yelled Meri. "I thought so too!" She yelled back

After hours and hours, it started to get dark. They went inside and got ready for bed.

The week passed fast, and before they knew it, they were loading everything to go back to London. They went a day early so that they could restock on things they needed in Diagon Alley.

When they had bought new robes and books to read up on they finally went back to the Leaky Cauldron for bed. They left early the next morning and got to the station just in time. They said their good byes and left to go back to Hogwarts.
