1 Chapter 27- the reply
(Tara's Point of View)
I felt sorry for kicking James just I really needed him off of me. I walked to my dorm and got dressed before Amber made it up.
15minutes later the other three were finally ready to go to...lunch, yes, that's it.
"Hey, Chester, you can't make fun of James and I now. You were with us. Same with you Amber." I said, laughing a bit.
"Shut up." Said Chester. It must have just come across him.
"If you keep saying that...nevermind I thought I had a good come back. Its too early for me." Said James rubbing his eyes.
"What are you talking about? Its nearly 1 o'clock." I said.
"Yes, I know. Its too early."
"Yea, I'm in the same boat as you are." Said Amber yawning. "I'm normally up later at home."
"When I was over you were up just after I was." I said.
"Yea, but James was waking me up cause he wanted to go swimming."
I tried so hard not to laugh. "James, how rude...but how funny." I said.
We made it to the Great Hall for lunch 5 minutes later. We sat down in our normal seats and dished out some food.
Post had just arrived. Saturn dropped a letter on my head.
I opened the envelope and read.
Dear Tara,
Sorry it took so long to reply. I had some business to take care of. But that's not what I wanted to talk to you about. I was wondering if you could go to Amber's or the Potters again this Christmas. I have plans that can't be cancelled. You can find out when schools out. Anyways, congratulations on making the Quiddich team! I know you wanted Seeker but Chaser is just as good, eh? How you have a good time.
Love, Mum
Umm, what can I say. WHY ISN'T SHE GOING TO BE WITH ME AGAIN FOR CHRISTMAS! SHE'S MY MOTHER, WHATS SO IMPORTANT NOW? LAST YEAR VOLDEMORT AND THIS YEAR, WHAT?
I was mad. Remember that I'm not nice when I'm mad. My hair and eyes were turning red at an speed like never before. My clothes were even turning red.
"Tara? What's up?" asked Amber looking at me wierdly.
"My-mother-isn't-taking-me-for-Christmas-again." I said between breaths.
"And..." pushed on Amber
"I have to go to someone's house for the break. Again. WHY DOES SHE DO THIS TO ME? LAST YEAR IT WAS IT WAS VOLDEMORT. THIS YEAR, WHO KNOWS! SHES KEEPING SOMETHING FROM ME AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS!" I shrieked.
James came over to me on put his arm around me. "It'll be okay. You can come to my house again. Only if you want."
I laid my head on his shoulder and tears silently coming down my cheeks. "I'll go to your house again. I had fun last year." I said with a small smiling flickering onto my face.
I went to my dorm after lunch and got out a blank piece of parchment.
Dear Mum,
I'm going to James' for Christmas this year again since you can't take me. Why? I really want to know. I guess I'll find out after school. See you,
Tara
