A/N Sorry, when I was deciding the holiday chapter, I was trying to make the group as diverse as possible. I did not take Alicia's character into account. I'm sorry. If you want I can change that. Otherwise she is a really casual Muslim.

I'm sorry I stopped writing for so long, lack of inspo+marching band+failing math+four honors corses=little good chapters

I never realized how much I liked standing. I will never complain about standing up all-day or walking for long periods again. I want to get up!

The big news? Oliver and I are spending the holidays this year with his family. Oliver got the owl about an hour ago that she was expecting him to bring me home for Christmas. Now Oliver is freaking out and trying to come up with some reason why we can't go. Fred and George want to know what all the fuss is about. Their mum wants them to bring home Alicia and Angelina. After that was said Oliver gave them a look that would have made hell freeze over.

Oliver's mum is the boss and she knows it. I've never been to the house for the holidays, but other times I went there were kind of like going into an airport that people sleep at. It is chaotic. There are at least two adopted 'troubled' teens living there at any given time. The Woods adopt those who've been through the adoption system so long that they're not likely to be taken in by anyone else and Mrs. Wood straightens them out.

Oliver has an older adopted brother, Eldon. He's one of these. Eldon was had done drugs, destroyed public property, did the Unforgivables on a spider, turned a teacher into a dancing purple elephant, exposed magic to muggles, turned a muggle into a peacock, put a curses on exactly one hundred twenty-three water fountains and was threatening to mess around with the Florida ballot system by the time he was fourteen. He became the first of Mrs. Wood's delinquents. Now he's an accountant and he's married to the witch who edited 'Charm Your Own Cheese.' A conversation with him is usually about the weather.

The Wood house is also filled with foster children of all ages. There are also a number of seniors from the home and always some down and out salesman. Not to mention the herd of stray cats and dogs that live there.

Mrs. Wood is always in need of clothes and funds for the many people so she demands visitors bring useful supplies. She expects no less from her son.

Mr. Wood on the other hand is a very reclusive person. I think he thinks that if he ignores everyone except his wife and his son that they'll all just go away.

In other words? Mrs. Wood is a woman with a mission. She's on a one-woman crusade. To her family? She's crazy and to be avoided. Oliver, being her only born child, is now freaking out about having to go.

Oliver: Katie! What are you doing writing and sitting around! We need to pack, can you run down to the supermarket and get some canned food and maybe pick you a couple of pounds of dog food? We'll also need to get presents! Why didn't I remember we had promised to go over!

That's about what he said.

Me:……

Oliver: What?

Me:… I'm in a wheelchair, of course I'm sitting around and I can't run.

Olvier:…

Me: Second, YOU promised to go to her house not me. Third, stop panicking. Have you forgotten who you live with?

The twins are obsessed with canned food. They think it's amazing so we constantly have a stock of it. They're currently experimenting with getting candy to taste exactly like dog food so they've had some around the house to sample.

Me: I'll go to the gift shop and pick up some stuffed animals and chocolate. That'll be for whoever is currently at you house and I'll get Eldon a calculator.

(Eldon is a wizrd, a calculator will fasinate him.)

Me: I'll get your mum a charm bracelet and a bobble head doll thing for your dad. That'll keep everyone happy.

Oliver: Fine (Stalks out of the room)

Oliver is just mad cause I won our 'where should we go for our honeymoon?' decision. We're going island hoping around Greece for a week. Then we're going to the Bahamas for a week, then a week in Alaska to see the northern lights and then flying back to Britain. We're even going to Avalon!

I'd better get going, I have to pack and such. Bye!
