Chapter 16 Chrismas surprise
After lunch, Harry, Ron, hermione, and Avalon walked back to the gryffindor common room, where Harry grabbed his firebolt and put it on his shoulder as they made there way to the quidditch field. The whole other team was already there. And wood was there too, grinning madly. All of the team members were now all 7th years, except for Harry, but he didn't mind, cause they were all friends. "Hey! Harry!" wood chimed as he waved to them from far away "Hey Ron, hermione, Avalon!" George smiled. "Hi." They all said together. They all walked up to the stands to watch them practice.
"So. who's the new girl?" wood asked looking at Avalon who was nearly falling off the railing trying to catch a butterfly and laughing. But Ron and hermione caught her. "That's Avalon." Harry replied sitting down his firebolt. "Oh. never saw her around last year." Wood noticed. "That's because she wasn't here last year." George choked. He was coughing up a chocolate frog. Fred started to laugh. "She wasn't? Why not?" wood asked ignoring Fred and George. "She's a muggle. Well, was. she has power though, but wasn't excepted to hogwarts till now. Can we start?" Harry asked eagerly. "Ok, ok. hold your horses Harry." wood smiled. After practice, they all went to the common room to relax. It was about 3:00 and Ron was teaching Avalon how to play wizard chess.
Months went bye and it was getting close to chrismas. People were sighing up to stay at hogwarts so Harry, Ron, hermione, Fred, George, Ginny, and Avalon all signed up to stay. "Mum and dad are going to visit aunt cala with Percy, bill, and Charlie in china." Ginny explained to Avalon as she wrote her name down. "cool, I'm staying cause I don't have a family." Avalon replied. "You do too have a family Avalon, I'm your family!" George joked. He then hugged Avalon quite hard as Harry wrote his name down. "You're like another little sister. But not an annoying one." George told her. Avalon smiled as she tried to get away, but then Fred hugged her too. "We love you Avalon! and you too Harry!" Fred chimed as he got a hold of Harry and hugging him as well.
"Idiots." Ron muttered. After they all had there names written down, they found malfoy talking to crabbe and goyle outside the entrance hall. Avalon was about to go punch him, but didn't. malfoy glanced at Avalon and smiled as he tugged crabbe and goyle away. "He nearly made me kill you, and cho, and made me mad, and his father killed my parents." Avalon muttered. "Ignore him." Hermione said. She always said this when people were annoying Harry last year. "Fred! George!" someone hollowed from the stairs. They all looked up. It was there best friend lee Jordan. Lee slid down the railing and ran up to them. "Guys! You've got to see this! They're already decorating the great hall for a chrismas dance! But no one's supposed to know. but come check it out!" he shouted. They all ran back to the great hall to see for them selves. It was true. Little elves in green outfits were running from one place to another hanging banners and mistletoe and trees everywhere. Ornaments were hung from the ceiling along with tinsel. It looked magnificent. But as they were awing with delight as the little elves started hanging candy canes on the walls, professor mcgonagall scolded at them and told them to beat it. So they left. They went up to the common room to see lavender brown talking to parvati looking at the window. They all looked out as well. it began to snow badly. You could barely see the trees cause it became so white.
"Snow." Avalon muttered as she looked at it like it were jewels. "Come on Harry! Let's go play in it!" Avalon chimed as she ran to her dorm and grabbed her cloak and a scarf and shawl. She put some emerald green gloves on and a black hat and insisted Harry do the same if he didn't want to catch a cold when they were out there. "Avalon. it's a blizzard! We can't!" Harry tried to reason with her but it was no use, he got his cloak and hat and gloves from his trunks and put it on. Ron did the same as did hermione. They all went outside as the blizzard died down. They played till there toes, fingers, and noses got frozen, they went back inside to warm up. The days went bye as the hall began to get less crowded. Soon it was Christmas eve, and the remaining people, including Harry, Avalon, and the weasleys', all walked down to the great hall for the feast.
After they all ate all that they could, they made there way back to the common room. They were very tired and full. They all went straight to bed. The next morning came as Harry got up from bed, woke up Ron, seamus, and dean, and they opened there presents. Harry got his usual sweater that was the usual emerald green and sweets Mrs. Weasley made him, some snap cards from the weasley twins, a little black handbook on Quidditch moves from Ron, a hat with a scar on it from Hermione, (it's a fan hat that they sold at hogsmead for people who just LOVE Harry potter) but also got mood ink and a new quill that never gets old, and a gold chain necklace with a clear stone on it and when Harry looked inside, he saw 'best friends 4 ever.' That was from Avalon. he got some rock cakes from hagrid and some newly made gum.
Harry and Ron got dressed and made there way down to the common room has Harry put the necklace on, they met up with Avalon and hermione who were talking with Ginny bye the lit fire. "Hey guys." Ron yawned looking at them. "Hi Ron." Ginny giggled. "What?" Ron asked. Hermione and Avalon started to laugh as well. Harry stared at him and began to laugh too. Ron's hair was flat at top, but the sides were shooting up. Ginny held up a mirror and showed Ron, who yelled and started to try to run his hair down. But it wouldn't work. Hermione said a little charm with her wand, and it went flat. "Thanks." Ron said sheepishly. "What'd you all get?" Harry asked. "Uh. I got a ring from malfoy." Avalon paused to look up at all of them. They were looking stunned by what she said. Avalon took the ring out of her pocket and showed them. It was silver that had a round, black pearl in the middle. "He said it has been in has family for years, and his mother had it, who got it from her mom, who got it from her mom generations ago, but malfoy been a guy, and received it. But gave it to me instead." Avalon explained.
"Then I got this weird thing. this old bottle with weird symbols on it and when I opened it, a WEIRD smell came out. so I closed it. I felt dizzy for I minute. then I got a piggy bank from hermione that squeals when people try to break in, and thanks Ron for your mom's sweater. and thanks Harry for the sneak o' scope." Avalon chimed. "Found one at hogsmead." Harry whispered to Ron. "Thanks for the necklace." Harry said showing her it. "Sure. an old lady was selling them and they looked cool, so I got one." Avalon replied.
Later that day, something weird happened. The necklace Avalon had given to Harry, and hers, were glowing brightly. Then all of a sudden, they pulled to one another from all the way on the different side of the school. Then they bumped together and accidentally kissed each other that gave off a faint golden aura around them. People around started to giggle as they tried to get away. Then, malfoy, followed by crabbe, and goyle, pushed through the crowd to see the commotion. Then he began to scream. "noooooo!!!! Get away from her!" malfoy shouted. "She's mine!" he added looking confused at them. He then ran away screaming.
They both began to blush vividly. "Whoa." Ron thought as they both fell to the floor away from each other confused. Avalon tried to take the necklace off, but it wouldn't go. "Exactly who'd you get this from?" Harry asked trying to get his off as well. "I dunno. just someone who walked up to me offering me them. she said you can save anything with them, and I figured why not. I didn't believe her, since she looked like she was crazy, but.." Avalon stopped.
"I should of bought the clock." Avalon thought aloud. After a minute, they got up. Hermione suddenly ran up to them, obviously from the library panting as she reached them. "Guys. the necklaces. they're linked. they. can.. Stop. you know who!" hermione panted. "What?" Harry asked sudden. "Who?" Avalon asked. "Voldermort." Harry replied. Hermione jumped as did Ron. "Oh.. HIM." Avalon thought abruptly. "How though?" Harry asked. "It doesn't actually says. I just s'pose. see it says the necklace linked to there soul mate can prevent the darkest of all that all people fear, which is you-know-who, and there love can make peace." hermione read from the old book she had in front of her face.
"Uh. right." Avalon replied. "So. how does it work?" Avalon decided to ask. "You two have to find that out." hermione hissed. "Right. surprises, surprises, surprises, surprises. first the necklace moving by it's self, then that book. no more buying from old people.." Avalon replied. They all walked to the great hall to asked dumbledore about it, but all he did was smile and say "you'll find out when the time comes" and walked away.
After lunch, Harry, Ron, hermione, and Avalon walked back to the gryffindor common room, where Harry grabbed his firebolt and put it on his shoulder as they made there way to the quidditch field.
