On Christmas morning, Harry was awoken by his snowy-white owl Hedwig. There was something attached to her leg. He opened it and found a blank piece of paper. There was a note.
Happy Christmas from the Dursleys. Make sure you stay there during Easter as well.
Harry would be more than happy to do so. He went to the end of his bed to find some Christmas presents. He opened the one nearest to him. It was from Hagrid.
Dear Harry, Happy Christmas. Sorry I haven't been seeing you lately but I'm very busy. I have good news however. You and Hermione can come to my hut later around 6 pm? Been quite lonely and Fang misses you. I might invite some more people. Be there. Hagrid
He got some cakes from Hagrid which naturally, he wouldn't eat but they looked different so he tried them. This wasn't Hagrid's normal cooking. Not only did they taste great, they were soft, too.
The next present was from Sirius. He gave him a book on counter-curses. Harry knew that this meant Sirius was worried for him. There was a note too.
Dear Harry, Happy Christmas. I've been told that you'll be in Hagrid's hut on Christmas; 6pm.I'm going there as well. Looking forward to seeing you. Remus is coming too. Sirius
Harry then opened all his other gifts. He was completely satisfied with everything he got, present or not, they were all kind enough to remember him during the holidays. He then went down to the common room. He saw that Hermione was already up.
'Merry Christmas, Harry!'Greeted Hermione.
'Merry Christmas to you. Thanks for the Hawk feather Quill.' said Harry.
'Yeah. Are you going to Hagrid's later?'
'Yeah. Sirius and Professor Lupin are coming as well.'
'That's great. So, shall we go down for breakfast?'
'We shall.'
The Great Hall was spectacularly decorated. The banners which were usually house banners now had the Hogwarts banner in green and red. The ceiling was sky blue in color, which matched outside's sky. Snow was falling from nowhere and if you ate it, it tasted more like mint. Of course, it melted as well. It was a pity so few students were here to enjoy it.
Harry saw that the teacher's table had students in it. Dumbledore gestured him and Hermione to come over. There were two Slytherins, 4 Hufflepuffs and 3 Ravenclaws. The teachers were Lupin, Professor McGonagall, Snape, Professor Sprout, Madam Pomfrey and Dumbledore.
They ate breakfast, much to their discomfort. The students weren't used to eating with any of the Professors.
Harry and Hermione went back to their common room after breakfast. They went crazy inside because they had it all to themselves.
'I never knew you could be this wild, Hermione!'
'Some things are better left unsaid.'
They laughed a lot and talked about everyone they found interesting.
'I think Ron liked you once.'
'Really? That's weird. I think Cho liked you too.' Said Hermione.
'Nah... She went out with Ron though.'
'Yeah. Do you think they match?'
'To be honest?'
'Yeah, it's just me.'
'No.' and he laughed some more. 'Don't tell him that. I don't want to ruin his Highness' glory month.'
'You're not jealous of Ron, are you?' she asked in a teasing tone.
'Me? Jealous of Ron? My good buddy?' Hermione nodded her head. 'Yeah, maybe, just a little.'
'HA! I can't believe you.'
'What?'
'The only time Ron gets noticed and you're all jealous!' she pointed out, smiling.
'Well not jealous in a dangerous way. Nothing to worry about.'
'Right.'
'So what about you? Who do you like now?'
'Does it matter?'
'Yeah. Everyone knew about me liking Cho.'
'Yeah but that's different.'
'How is that different?'
'At least she won't really mind or get all weird if she found out.'
'So, you do have someone in mind.'
'Yeah. No. Maybe!'
Harry just laughed at this. He wanted to ask more but decided not to again.
'Harry, how are you holding out on the Voldemort thing?' asked Hermione slowly, making sure she didn't hit a nerve.
'Why does everyone think about that so often?' he said, calmly but it wasn't showing.
'It's not that we don't think you can handle it. It's just that, we're worried about you, Harry. We care.'
'Well I can take care of myself, you know?'
'Why are you getting angry at me for? I was just asking!'
'I'm sorry Hermione. It's just it's getting annoying now. People always worried.'
'I know, Harry. But you have to let us worry. What else can we do if you don't?' she said gently.
'Okay.' he looked at watch. 'It's 5:50. We should go down now.' he said.
'Yeah.' she was now trying to make the awkward air go. 'Hey, Harry.'
'What?'
'Last one down's a rotten Flobberworm!'
'You're on!' and they went to the ground racing. Hermione won, due to Harry being a gentleman.
When Harry and Hermione got to Hagrid's hut, they were surprised to see, (hear for that matter) that his hut was extremely full of voices. He remembered Sirius was coming. He knocked on his door and it opened revealing Hagrid's smiling face behind his great beard.
'Welcome, 'Arry, 'Ermione! Bin s'long! Come in, come in.' he said, quite cheerfully.
They did and they saw some very familiar faces. Lupin was there. Dobby too, wearing the socks Harry gave him for this Christmas. He looked around; he saw Madam Maxime and Dumbledore talking. He went to the corner with Hermione and here he bumped into...
'Sirius!' Harry exclaimed.
'Hello dear godson. Nice to see you've turn out to be quite a handsome young man, Harry.'
'Knock it off, Sirius. You look good by the way.' he wasn't lying. Sirius now looked extremely youthful. He no longer had bags under his eyes and the soulless eyes he had when they last met were also gone.
'Thanks. Been having a more balanced diet.'
Hermione stepped up to greet Sirius. 'Hi Sirius, long time no see.'
'Hermione, how you've grown! You're quite the lady. Harry, why don't you go ask her out?'
Hermione was now crimson red. 'Sirius. Knock. It. Off.' Said Harry.
'Harry, did I ever tell you that before your mother and father went out, they were best friends? I even used to like her once. Stopped when I found out she liked him.'
'Sirius, why exactly are you telling me this now?' he asked, wanting to put a stop to his mouth.
'Because, you two remind me so much of Lily and James, it's uncanny.'
Harry was now blushing like mad. He glanced at Hermione and she, too was blushing dangerously.
Harry decided to change the subject now. 'So Sirius seems everyone here knows you're innocent.'
And they talked about everything that's happened. Much to Harry's relief, Sirius didn't mention anything about Lily and James and Harry and Hermione.
********Thanks for the reviews. I keep giving them to "Dani", and she's really glad everyone likes her story.
