Harry and Francesca went and sat on the couch.
"Yes?" she asked. Harry forced her head to look up at him.
"Okay, eyes on me the whole time, please?" he said. Kristina nodded and folded her arms. "Explain why you're being different," he said.
"Harry, I swore I wouldn't say anything about this, but I think its time I should. We've known each other our whole lives! We grew up eating the same sand, went to the same places together, we even bathed together. (They both laughed) And I promised myself at nine, I wouldn't love anyone as much I love you. I love you more then a brother, I have since the family friend get together thing months ago, when we kissed. Yes, we agreed it was nothing, but god Harry, it meant EVERYTHING to me. Being a young girl just finding out about love and getting kissed for the first time does something to you. I guess I thought we'd end up together. I guess I'm just a little jealous of you and Francesca. But don't let me stop you two, I-" Harry kissed her on the lips, silencing her. When they broke apart she murmured a small 'wow'.
"Happy Birthday," Harry whispered, leaning in to kiss her again. Kristina looked at clock, it read 12:03 a.m. Kristina was now twelve. She kissed Harry back. When they stopped it was 12:09. From the side of the couch, Harry picked up the gift from his dad. He let Kristina read the note, she smiled. It must mean he trusts me, she thought. Harry slowly ripped the paper off. For a moment it looked like there was nothing, then he could see it was a cloak of some sort.
"What is it?" Kristina gasped. There was another note on the cloak that Harry read aloud.
"Dear Harry. So, your either alone or with ones you trust (I'm guessing one, or both of the Weasleys). This is your gift. What is it? It is an invisibility cloak. I was with Ron the first time I saw it. This belonged to my father, in other words, your grandfather. I have used this cloak many times over my years at Hogwarts and knew you would find some use with it. Don't tell anyone about it, or else it will spoil the fun. Have fun with it, and see you in two weeks. Your father." Kristina took the cloak in her hands and spread it out over her legs. Suddenly her legs were gone.
"Wow," she said, then threw it over her body. "Do you see me?" she asked Harry. He shook his head and moved in to lightly kiss the cloak, but fell into nothingness. Kristina had gotten up and was apparently walking around.
"Where are you?" Harry asked feeling around the room, just in case they would run into each other.
"I'm over here!" she called playfully running around the room. Finally the cloak got caught on a chair and it fell off to reveal her. She fell to the ground laughing. Harry grabbed her and they both went to the couch.
"I think we've both had the best birthdays this year," Kristina said lying down in Harrys lap. He smiled.
"Oh yeah? How do you know? Its only just starting," he said propping himself against some pillows. Kristina shrugged and fell asleep before she could answer.

"Happy Birthday Kristina!" Joel and Francesca sang together. Kristina sat up. 'How is Joel in the girls dormitory?' she asked herself. Suddenly, the room came into focus. Harry was next to her stretching and yawning. 'Last night wasn't a dream?' she asked herself again. Harry smiled at her, and then let Francesca kiss him on the cheek. Kristina looked at Joel; she stood up and hugged him.
"Happy Birthday Joel." Harry wished Joel a happy one two and they got changed.

"What did you and Kris do last night?" Joel asked putting on some gray slacks that smelled like they could be clean.
"We just cleaned up the games and talked for a little bit. Nothing special," but the smile on Harrys face gave it away.
"YOU KISSED HER!" he yelled, point at Harry with the slacks halfway on.
"SHHH!" Harry hissed. The last thing he needed was Francesca to hear. If she heard not only would her father be down Harrys throat for breaking her heart, but also he would be just another Potter, pushing a Malfoy away.
"Yes, and it didn't mean a thing- or at least I hope so," Harry said, hoping Kristina wouldn't tell anyone. Without another word, Harry finished dressing and waited below for Joel and the girls. Kristina came first.
"Kris, about the kiss, from last night," he said quickly, before the others came, "what did it mean to you?" he asked. Kristina slowly bowed her head and tried not to look sad.
"Nothing," she said perky and walk off. She knew it; it was too good to be true. Even though that moment meant the world to Kristina, it meant nothing to Harry Potter. Harry smiled and hugged Francesca as she came down the stairs. Kristina thought things would be different, she thought wrong.
The rest of the day was nice. Their mother sent them loads of books and quills. Their father sent them loads of candy. The Potters sent them some nice things, mostly muggle items. And their aunts and uncles sent them books, items from the joke shop, and other things that they twins could use without. But no gift compared to the kiss Harry had smacked on Kristina hours before.
"Cheers!" Joel said to Kristina as they kinked together their glasses of butterbeer. It was well past midnight and everyone had gone to bed. Kristina was personally tired. She had spent so many nights awake past midnight at Hogwarts. She was amazed on how she did it. Kristina finished her drink and said goodnight to her brother. School would be over soon, and she had tests coming up. Sleep was in her best interest.
"Yes?" she asked. Harry forced her head to look up at him.
"Okay, eyes on me the whole time, please?" he said. Kristina nodded and folded her arms. "Explain why you're being different," he said.
