Disclaimer-I own none of the characters in this fic except for Essie, Loki, and a couple of very minor Ravenclaw and Slytherin people.

~Fic Starts Here~

History of Magic Class.ah what could be said? Umm.anything interesting about it is history, thought Essie. (an: Merlin help me.I actually LIKE puns like this ;p) She settled down in her normal seat and prepared to take notes and sleep at the same time. She vaguely got that Binns was talking about all the famous family trees.what? Oh. Homework assignment. "Your homework assignment is to use the ancestor spell, ancestralus de mi, to come up with your family tree. The tree must be at least four generations. To do so, simply hold your wand and say 'ancestralus de mi' clearly. A slight, ghostly image of the generation before you, or your parents, will come up. Any siblings you have will come up too. The images should be accompanied by their respective names. To get further generations, just repeat the incantation. I want a family tree turned in by tomorrow-no exceptions. Class dismissed" Essie was in awe. How had he done that? The whole big speech was in a monotone.she couldn't even manage a sentence without some expression in it. The whole class sighed in relief. Class over. As Essie was getting up to leave, Ron and Hermione ran up to her. "Essie, is Harry OK?" asked Ron "Umm, I guess. Pomfrey said they were both fine." "Oh good." "Yeah" There was a brief silence before Ron asked, "So, did Harry ask you to the Yule Ball yet?" "Yule Ball?" Essie was so confused. "Err yeah.OW!" Hermione had just smacked him "Oh Ron, she meant for you to explain! How can she tell you if she doesn't even know what the Yule Ball is?" Hermione turned to Essie, "I'm sorry. Usually he isn't this dense. Close, but not quite. The Yule Ball's like a dance. Very formal. The guys have to ask the girls. It's on Christmas night. This year, I heard we could wear muggle clothes." "Really? That's cool. No Ron, Harry has not asked me yet, but I'm sure he will. Yule Ball? I hadn't even heard about it." They walked back to their respective dorms. Essie had the rest of the day off.Yule Ball?

Essie had just come back from the Hospital wing. Both Harry and Loki were fine. She decided to get started on her family tree. "Ancestralus de mi!" instantly, an image of her mother, father, and sister whooshed out of her wand, accompanied by their names. Essie got tears in her eyes. She really missed them. She wrote down her mom (Josephine Lei), her dad (Christopher Lei) and her sister (Issel Lei) and moved on. "Ancestralus de mi!" her grandmother and grandfather on her mother's side popped up. She wrote down their names too. One last time she called "ancestralus de mi" but instead of her great-grandmother and great-grandfather, someone else popped up. Oh. So she had a great-uncle. What? No one had told her about him? His name was-wait his name was changing.what? Oh my god. Essie tumbled to the floor in a dead faint as her ancestors disappeared.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, Essie woke up on the floor. Huh? Oh. She had fainted. Cuz of her ancestors. Or one of them, to be more specific (an: no, I am NOT going to tell you who that was ;p) huh? Who was knocking on the door? She got up and dragged herself to the portrait hole. EEP! What was Harry doing here? "Harry!" screeched Ess "Yeah, I'm doing fine, thank you." Quipped Harry. He grinned. She was so funny. "Harry! I'm no dressed! I just woke up! My hair is frizzing and I haven't taken a shower yet!" "So? You look fine." "That's not the point. it's too early! What time is it? Where's my watch-" "It's 12:30. pm." "WHAT?!" "Yeah. So, umm, I thought you'd be up by now." "O GOD. Essie covered her face with her hands. "Look. Why don't you come in. I'll go take a shower-" Harry's face reddened. "ALONE, pervert. I'll go with you to lunch, 'K? 'K. Right. Come in." Harry stepped into the dormitory. Essie showed him into the living room and went into the bathroom to shower.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When she got out, she felt all refreshed. She felt WAY better. As she walked back to the living room, she just remembered WHY she had fainted. Crudders.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, Harry, I heard there was gonna be a Yule Ball." They were in the Great Hall. Harry choked violently on his pumpkin juice. After he stopped coughing he almost slapped himself. How had he forgotten? "God. Sorry. I can't BELIEVE I forgot.but will you go with me?" he prayed that she would say yes. "Yeah, sure. So give me some info.like what genius came up with the name 'Yule Ball'?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wondering where Loki was? DUH! Where else would she be? She was with DRACO! They were walking outside. It was beautiful. There was about 4 inches of snow on the ground and Hogwarts looked like a gingerbread castle complete with snow for icing. Draco and Loki were just walking, getting in an occasional kiss, when Loki randomly flopped to the ground. "Wha-? Loki? Loki? Please tell me you aren't having-" "A vision? Nope. Hello? Haven't you ever seen anyone make a snow angel before? "A what? A snow angel! Geez. Did you have a really deprived childhood or something? See-you flop to the ground and you spread your arms and legs out and move them side-ways and see!" Loki jumped up and faced Draco "All pretty. Best snow angel I ever ma- WHOA!" Draco had just tackled her and both had fallen into Loki's angel imprint. "I think I would prefer snogging to making snow angels, Lokara" purred Draco "Oh? But don't you think my angel's pretty-" He cut her off with a serious kiss. When they were through, Draco pulled Loki up and helped dust all the snow off her. "Yes, Loki, I think your angel's pretty. She's not the only angel I see, though." "What?"

"I think my Loki-angel is far sexier and prettier than her snow- imprinted counterpart." Loki smiled. Draco was so sweet. She leaned against him as they walked back to the Great Hall, hand in hand.
