1.1.1 Chapter 12-Christmas without Family

They sat in shock. Not know what to do. Without relizing it, they fell asleep in the chairs they were in. They didn't wake up until Chester smacked them upside the head.

"Good morning sunshines." he said.

"Mommy, I want to ride the pony." said James snorting and acctually waking up.

Tara was waken up before James and now she was on the floor rolling around laughing like a maniac.(that really sounds like me there)

"Whats so funny?" asked James

"You."

"Why?"

"Fine. I quote 'Mommy, I want to ride the pony' It was the FUNNIEST thing I have ever heard."

By this time James was as red as a beet.

Tara and James hadn't told anybody about their secret. Tara had recieved a letter from her father a week before Christmas break started.

Dear Tara

I am sorry to inform you but you will have to stay at school for Christmas this year, we are still really busy, but this time it isn't Troy. He has gone to your greatmama's house for Christmas. You're mother and I have some...business to take care of. Love lots.

Dad

The day that everyone left, Tara was depressed. She really wanted to go home, not stay at Hogwarts, alone. Tara went to Hogsmeade station to say good bye to Amber, James and Chester. James and Tara had become good friends.

"Bye." said Tara sadly as they got onto the platform.

"I have an idea," said James "come to my house for Christmas, my parents wouldn't mind!"

"I don't know, James, if my parents knew that I went to 'James Potters' house for Christmas I would be dead."

"They don't have to know."

"But they…oh all right, let me run a get some-" said Tara but she was cut off by James.

"I have your things, come on."

"JAMES, why did you go in my stuff."

"I didn't…Amber did."

"AMBER!"

"What? He asked me to. He was going to give me some--" Amber began

"Shut up, shut up now. I really don't want to know." interrupted Tara

"You know, you have a sick mind."

"Right back at you Hector."

"Don't call me that."

"Then don't take my things."

By this time Tara, Amber, James and Chester were in a compartment and the train was moving.

"I really can't believe I'm going to your house."

"Me neither." said James

'Yes! Tara is coming to my house, a whole 2weeks to us. I love her so much, but I can't tell her that. She'd think I am a crazy…'

'I really can't believe it, I am going to James' house. A whole 2 weeks alone. I love him, very much. I can't say anything, but I'm going crazy just thinking about him. Cause he's there, he's everywhere.'
