Christmas morning had come at last and Ron and Harry had made the trip to Hermione's house. Ginny would have been there, but she had been grounded. Partly due to the fact that she had been feeding the gnomes, claiming that 'They were people too!'
The golden trio and Draco had crowded around the Christmas tree while Hermione's parents were sipping their morning tea in the kitchen on the same table that Ron and Hermione had made-out. Ron rushed to his presents first.
"To: Ronald, From: Mum," Ron read on the first package. It was squishy and felt like clothing. "Must be another jumper." He opened it up, but was surprised to see that he regular maroon jumper was replaced with a new set of scarlet dress robes.
"Wow!" Hermione admired the make of the dress-robes, but upon handing them back to Ron, they disappeared in a cloud of dust. A single yellow note fluttered down onto his lap.
"Merry Christmas! From: Your loving brothers, Fred and George," Ron grumbled as he read the note.
Ron's presents were few compared to Hermione's and Harry's, but he thought his gifts were better. Hermione hadn't got him anything, except for a note that read: "Meet me in my room tonight at precisely 12:00am. Don't be late, Ron!" She signed it with a heart. Harry had gotten him a mobile that had the Chudley Canons team players on it. They zoomed around, chasing the different balls.
Hermione had gotten perfume from Ron... Again. And from Harry, she received a book called The Future of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot. From the absent Ginny, she had received a makeup kit. Unfortunately, Crookshanks got into it. Hermione had also gotten something from Draco. As a thank you, he had said.
Harry had gotten various Quidditch things from the other two-thirds of the trio. From Ginny, he got boxers. Not normal boxers, though. These ones glowed in the dark, sparkled and apparently gave magical comfort.
Draco got a single present. It was from Ginny. In the carefully wrapped emerald box, was a forest green book. He opened to the black pages and found that they were blank. Along with the journal was a quill that wrote in silver ink. In the front cover was a message. "Don't be afraid to share your feelings. If not with me, then with this book. Love from, Ginny."
The Christmas holidays ended all too soon for the students of Hogwarts. Well, almost all of them. Kaida Takahashi ran swiftly through the corridors towards Professor Sprice's office. She had been waiting ever since the party to, basically, tattle on Draco for switching sides. Kaida rapped quietly on the door of the office.
The door opened slowly and gray eyes peered out from inside the room. After seeing who was at her door, Professor Sprice opened it wide enough for Kaida to slip in. As soon as the door was closed and a silencing charm was placed, Kaida started to bawl. Almost instantly Professor Sprice put her arm around her pupil and showed her a seat on a green couch.
"Just let it all out dear," Professor Sprice said comfortingly.
So, that's what Kaida did. She told Professor Sprice about how Draco dumped her, how he went to live with the mudblood during the Christmas holiday, and how she had loved him.
After a few minutes of weeping, Kaida looked up at her professor. Kaida's eyes were full of hatred, "We will get our revenge, right?"
"Of course, dear." Professor Sprice smiled kindly and rolled up her sleeve, "We have this so He will help us."
Professor Sprice was pointing to the tattoo on her arm. It was one of the most evil signs that had ever been seen in the wizarding world. Kaida smiled too. She smiled because she also had that tattoo on her arm. She also had the dark mark.
Once again the golden trio found themselves in the great hall waiting for Dumbledore to introduce, yet another student into their school. Draco (although he wasn't very pleased) found it mandatory to be seated at the Slytherin table. But this wasn't such an awful torment because the other Slytherins had seated themselves as far away from him as possible.
"Attention students," Dumbledore's voice bellowed over the students in a rather peaceful tone. "As many of you have guessed we have another student joining us this year. She is going to be joining the sixth year and has been sorted into Ravenclaw. I am pleased to introduce to you, Celestina Cadogan!"
There was applause from all of the tables (except Slytherin of course) as the blonde-haired, sea blue/green-eyed girl walked towards her designated table. Her hair stopped at her ears and had red tips at the ends. She was very pretty and almost every guy who wasn't in a relationship followed her with his eyes until she sat down.
Draco gazed across the great hall, not paying attention to his surroundings and almost bored by the lack of exciting-ness. He caught the eye of a new girl and felt his stomach lurch. She sweetly smiled then winked at him and turned back to her rice pudding. Draco blinked in astonishment. He had just felt a shiver crawl up his spine. It wasn't a shiver that you get when you know something bad is going to happen. It was one of those shivers you get when someone notices you, when you haven't been noticed in months.
Draco smiled to himself as he turned back to his own rice pudding. He just so happened to get a cupcake in the face as well as Pansy hurled it at him (she was still pissed that he had dumped her). Draco sunk back into the hole he had crawled out of as the cupcake fell to the floor.
"Hey! Bitch!" Pansy looked (lol she responded to bitch) to where the voice had come from only to see a bowl of rice pudding flying towards her.
Pansy gasped, petrified, as the remainder of rice dripped down her face. A couple of the other Slytherins started snickering while Pansy scoped out the culprit. Celestina was giggling with a couple of newfound friends.
"YOU!" Pansy stuck out her index finger and pointed at Celestina.
"You know when you point a finger at someone there are three more pointing at you." Celestina smiled while the dim Slytherin started looking for other people who were pointing at her.
"There isn't any-" Pansy stopped talking because a pink frosted cupcake had landed right on her nose.
"It's a good color for you," Draco said sarcastically from the far end of the table.
"FOOD FIGHT!" Someone shouted from inside the great hall (no one was sure who, but there were rumors it might have been Dumbledore).
It was only a few seconds before the Hall was in total chaos. Harry and Ron flinging the Hogwarts cuisine to various faces of their fellow students. Lavender had a tray up against her 'beautiful' face from SIFO's (somewhat identifiable flying objects). At one point, Snape got hit in the head with a flying ball of rice pudding. The room went silent. Then Snape used a reverse 'Accio' charm and the ball of pudding straight back to the Hufflepuff who threw it. Draco had even gotten into the excitement, and started levitating puddings to drop on top of people's heads.
Kaida noticed Draco about to drop a platter of food onto Goyle's head. She picked up an apple and chucked it at his head. The apple was inches away from the back of his head when someone grabbed Draco's hand and pulled him under a table.
"Jeez! You could've given me whiplash!" Draco rubbed his neck as he crouched under the low table.
"Well, sorry! I thought you might have ruined your perfect hair if it got banged by that apple." Draco looked up to the person who had brought him down to see Celestina smiling at him with a look that said she thought he was a dumb ass.
"Sorry, I guess I was over reacting a little." Draco smiled kindly at Celestina. "You think my hair is perfect?"
Celestina smiled and turned to look out at the scene above the table.
"That was pretty smart. What you were doing with your wand." Celestina said as she sat down cross-legged.
"You haven't learned it yet?" Celestina shook her head, "I could show you if you wanted."
"Sure," Celestina crawled over to where Draco was sitting.
"It's basically just a swish and flick of you wand and then you say 'Wingardium Leviosa'"
Celestina "swished" her wand in a slashing matter and mispronounced 'Wingardium'.
"No, you move your wand more like this," Draco placed his hand on top of Celestina's and moved his hand slowly as he showed her the motion of the spell. "And it's Win-Gar-Di-Um"
Celestina moved even closer to Draco, so that if she moved any closer she would've been sitting on his lap. "Okay. So, like this?" Celestina moved her wand, with Draco's hand still on it, in the proper motion and whispered the incantation. Soon a bowl of pudding levitated into the air and plunged down onto Crabbe's head.
"This is fun," Celestina snorted as the bewildered Slytherin looked around frantically for the individual who had attacked him so clandestinely.
"Yeah," Draco agreed.
Celestina looked into Draco's eyes and smiled, "Hey, this is my first day here do you want to give me a tour of the castle?"
"Sure, I guess I could." Draco crawled out from under the table and helped Celestina to her feet.
As they started to walk out of the hall, Celestina gasped. Draco turned to her and noticed that the top of her robes hand a small flame on it. Draco quickly put his hand on top of it to put it out. There was a slight smarting feeling but it passed as soon as the flame died.
Draco looked around to see Kaida standing with her wand still in the position it had been in from when she used the Incendio spell. Her eyes still had a glimmer of red in them and this time they didn't disappear.
