Chapter Six- Christmas Time p
"See you in January." Alec whispered tightly wrapping his arms around Bailee. He kissed her softly on the lips, and then released her. p
"I have something for you, but you can't open it until Christmas morning." Bailee told him. She pulled out a wrapped package from her robes and handed it to Alec. p
"I have something for you as well, but I want you to open it now." p
Alec fished in his pocket and produced a small velvet box. p
"Oh wow…" Bailee mouthed as she took the box from him. Slowly, she opened the box to find a long silver chain with a silver Griffin charm on it. The Griffin had gold coloured wings. p
"Put it on me." Bailee commanded. p
Alec smiled and took the necklace out of the box. Then he unhooked the lock and placed it around Bailee's neck, hooking it back up. Bailee pulled her hair out from underneath the chain and kissed Alec. br
"Mmm…thank you!" p
"You're welcome." Alec responded. br
He noticed Hagrid approaching them, "you better get on the train." He whispered. p
"Okay Merry Christmas!" Bailee replied and flounced on the train. p
She entered the cabin with Ste and Chutney and waved at Alec from the window. p
"Merry Christmas...." Alec stated watching the train pull away from the station. p
Christmas time was always a busy time for Bailee's family. There had never been so many people at the Potter house at one time. First there was the Potter family, which included Harry's godfather Sirius Black. Then there was the entire Weasley family which included Ron, and Ginny's parents (Arthur and Molly) and all their brothers (Bill, Charlie, Percy and the twins Fred and George). The clan also included the Weasley's spouses and offspring. Not to mention the Grangers who were Hermonie's parents. p
The second Bailee unpacked her belongings; she was called downstairs by her father. p
"And so I said of course I can do my job and bloody good too! How else do you think I got this scar?" Harry inquired from his enormous arm chair. p
Bill and Percy let out a hoot. Their blue eyes flashed with joy. p
"Hi Dad!" Bailee spoke greeting her father. p
"Hey there's my head girl!" Harry grinned patting her head. p
Bailee sat on the arm rest, hugging her father. "Catch any dark creatures?" Bailee wanted to know. p
"Well, we are tracking a Basilisk, but nothing too serious." Harry replied. p
He leaned forward and picked up a box of Birdie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. Then he poured a good handful of candy for his daughter. "Don't tell your mother…" p
Bailee smiled and got up, she disapparated to her room and changed from her school uniform to her muggle jeans and a pink sweater (made by her Grandma Weasley). She picked the candy up from her drawer and popped them in her mouth at once. When she was a little girl, Bailee would stuff Birdie Bott's Every Flavour Beans in her mouth and make funny faces in the mirror while chomping down. p
Bailee stood in front of her vanity mirror and slowly began to chew. She could taste the many flavours, lemon, cherry, chocolate, and even spinach. She stuck out her tongue and giggled. p
"What are you doing?" p
Bailee yelped when she noticed Rooney Chang in her mirror. She whirled around and spat out her candy. br
"Get out!" She shouted, but Rooney didn't budge. p
Bailee let out a scream and disapparated to the living room. p
"Bailee Potter! That is illegal apparation!" Exclaimed her Uncle Percy. p
"Not now!" Bailee snapped interrupting her uncle. p
Percy was ready to lecture his niece but she had stormed out of the living room and into the parlour. Percy huffed, crossing his arms. p
"Daddy!" p
Harry had been standing in the parlour room talking to Hagrid. They were laughing about something but Bailee was too angry to care. p
"What is Rooney Chang doing here?" She shouted taking Harry back by surprise. p
"I invited the Changs over for Christmas dinner along with Hagrid." Harry stated, confused. "Why are you so upset?" p
"Why am I so upset? Because he is going to try and kill my boyfriend!" Bailee cried. p
She could feel the anger rushing through her entire body as she left the parlour. She couldn't stay in her house any longer. p
"Bailee!" Harry shouted after her. p
He turned and stared at his old friend. They sat down in the arm chairs. Hagrid brushed back his shaggy gray hair. p
"Did you know anything about a boyfriend?" Harry questioned curiously. p
"Well come to mention it, she has been spending an awful lot of time with that Malfoy kid." Hagrid started rubbing his chin. p
Harry glanced up feeling as if he had been slapped across the face, "wh…what?" p
"Now Harry, don't get excited. Alec is a good kid, nothing like that father of his." Hagrid explained. p
Harry sighed playing with his sweater. His green eyes flashed with puzzlement. p
"Never did anything bad, always got good marks, and doesn't even belong in Slytherin if you ask me." p
Bailee walked outside onto the snowy wet grass. Her brother Trent was teaching Quidditch tactics to Ste, and her other cousins Marco and Brendon Weasley. p
Bailee sat on a bench and put her arm out. Alec's barn yard owl, Zeus flew towards her with a letter under his claws. p
Bailee took the letter from him and flew away while Bailee stared down at the parchment. Slowly she untied the ribbon and unrolled the parchment. p
iMerry Christmas my Love, See you in January!br
Love, Alec/ip
His love? Alec had never told Bailee that he loved her. Bailee placed the parchment in her pocket and watched Trent swoop down towards her. She had an odd, warm feeling inside her as she stared at her older brother. p
"Come play Quidditch with us! We need another player!" Trent told her. p
"Okay." p
Bailee disapparated to her room and retrieved her Firebird broomstick before joining her brother. p
Bailee played on Trent's team along with Ste and Chutney (who were the beaters), and Brooklynn, Heidi and Luke who were the chasers. p
"Bailee, you're the keeper." Trent told his sister. p
On the opposing team was Rooney, Marco, Brendon, Fred and George (whom Bailee swore were too old), and Henry and Anastasia Chang (Rooney's younger siblings). p
"No cheating!" Grandpa Weasley bellowed holding the quaffle in his arms. He stepped in the center and threw the quaffle in the air, "begin!" p
Right away Luke caught the quaffle and threw it to his sister, Heidi. Bailee drove her broom to her goal posts guarding them to the best of her ability. She cheered loudly as Luke scored a goal on the opposing side. p
Then she firmly grasped her broom while she saw Rooney approaching with the quaffle under his arm. He was quick, but Bailee was quicker and blocked his goal. Fume came steaming out of Rooney's ears. p
"Way to go Bailes!" Trent shouted. p
Bailee grinned and watched Rooney fly towards his team. He was furious about his encounter with Sam Crabb and wanted to exact his revenge. p
The game was winding down; Trent had caught sight of the snitch and was closing in on it. Rooney huffed and flew towards Heidi, snatching the quaffle from her. He noticed that Bailee was busy watching the snitch and her brother. It was the perfect opportunity to knock her off her broom…p
He grinned maliciously hitting the quaffle towards the opposing goal. Bailee turned quickly and noticed the quaffle coming towards her, but it was too late. She yelped placing her hands over her face and fell backwards. p
"See you in January." Alec whispered tightly wrapping his arms around Bailee. He kissed her softly on the lips, and then released her. p
"I have something for you, but you can't open it until Christmas morning." Bailee told him. She pulled out a wrapped package from her robes and handed it to Alec. p
