Hello everybody! I'm so happy to know that you all liked my last chapter! Thanks to all of you who told me the meanings and the spellings of the words. That's really going to come in handy! Do I really have to give my disclaimer when you all already know that I DON'T OWN ANYTHING!
(Hermione's dorm)
"I can't believe that I kissed him Crookshanks! Now what am I going to do?" Hermione asked her orange cat.
He just looked up at her and jumped into her lap.
(Outside the door)
'Wow! She's a wonderful kisser. I'll have to invite her over for Christmas so that we can try and move this thing along.' Harry said to himself as he walked to his room.
Hermione decided to take a warm shower and go to bed. Harry did the same thing and they went to sleep peacefully.
(The next morning at breakfast)
"Why in the world is dad looking at Hermione like that? And why is she acting like she's our age?" asked Caden, watching Hermione blush every time Harry looked at her or talked to her.
"Maybe they made a connection yesterday?" said Marco, getting a lot of eggs and bacon.
"I hope that's what it is. And then she might be able to come over for the few week vacation, I would love that!" exclaimed Caden, pouring himself some orange juice.
(DATDA)
"Good morning class! Today we shall be learning about sirens. Who can tell me what a siren is?" asked Harry looking around at all the hands. He picked a Ravenclaw named Jill.
"A siren is a beautiful thing that takes the form of a woman, she has a beautiful voice which puts men under her spell. Under this spell she can make him do anything that she wants. My great-great-great-great-great aunt was one." Said Jill happily.
"That is absolutely correct. Please write this down and then I want you to start on your report on sirens and other creatures that have similar abilities, that is to be turned in next week on Monday." Said Harry tapping the board.
Like you clicked a switch there was the sounds of quills scratching paper. There wasn't a single head looking up. Harry walked around the room to help students. His first stop was poor Gina Longbottom; she couldn't find the information that she needed.
"Gina, don't cry. I'll help you find it. Here look, there's all the information that you'll need. If you go home for the holiday's tell your father that I said hello." Said Harry, smiling and walking on.
When Harry walked back to his desk, Gina leaned over to talk to Caden.
"Your dad is really sweet." Said Gina.
Caden blushed and looked down at his paper and continued to work. When the bell rung, Harry held Caden back.
"Yes what is it dad?" asked Caden, happily.
"I want you to give this to Hermione for me. And tell her to give me her answer as soon as possible." Said Harry, shooing Caden along.
He so much wanted to see what was in the note but it was sealed magically. He handed the note to Hermione when he got there and went to sit down.
The note: Hermione, if the ball goes well do you want to spend the holidays with the kids and I? Send your answer by one of your students. Harry
Hermione quickly wrote her response and gave it to a boy with black hair and freckles. He was happy to send the letter and got a lot of mean looks. Hermione couldn't get this weird smile off of her face. She winked at Caden and tapped the board.
"Ok class, today we will be learning about two charms. The first one is called the Cheering charm. This charm is used to make someone that is feeling down bring back his or her happiness. Take your wand and point it at yourself and think happy thoughts. That should make you feel really good right?" said Hermione, looking at all the smiling faces and the continuos laughter.
When everyone had somewhat settled down, she began with the other charm.
"This one is very important when it comes to keeping someone's secret or keeping someone alive. It's called the Fidelius Charm. This spell allows someone to go into complete hiding. No matter where you look, even on a map. That person's house will not show up, unless told by their 'Secret Keeper'. This spell came in handy during the dark times of You-know-who. A person would go and hid so that he couldn't find them." Said Hermione, tapping the board again and her words showed up.
Tina's hand shot up.
"Yes Miss Gonzalez?" asked Hermione, her face going back to normal. Her lipstick, a deep pink for happiness and love mixed.
"Why did we have to learn about the Fidelius Charm?" asked Tina, her head tilted to one side.
"I just thought that it would be something nice to learn. You'll have to know about it for your homework tonight. Which brings me to that. Everyone take out your homework reminders and please write this down. Tonight's homework includes looking up people who might need the Cheering Charm. Once you have done so on them please write down the reaction afterwards. Then for some bookwork, page 613 in Standard Book of Spells. Please give me the names of two families that had to go under the Fidelius Charm and give me three reasons why they had to. In complete sentences." Said Hermione, looking around at all the students. Her eyes rested on Caden.
His dirty blond hair shone gold in the sunlight. The brown stood out more in the sun. Then the bell rung and everyone gathered up their things. Caden walked the long way to Muggle studies. He was going to drop that class next year.
(Lunch)
"I can't believe that the dance is in a week. According to Professor Pearson, the first snow is going to fall December 10th. And today's only December 5!" exclaimed Tina, getting some steak-and-kidney pudding.
"Why are you so excited. You can't go, so I guess we'll have to stay in our rooms while Caden has fun." Said Marco, jabbing Caden in the side.
"I am too going! I guess you didn't think that some older guy would ask me out did you! Well that shows you!" snapped Tina, and putting a spoonful of peas into her mouth.
"Wow, who is it?" asked Caden, looking around.
"If you must know, it's Jeremy Temmer. He's a 3rd year in Gryffindor." Said Tina looking over at a boy with black hair with blond tips. His eyes were a faded kind of green and he had a light sprinkle of freckles.
"That's who you're going out with? His twin brother Oliver is in our house, see him down there." Said Marco pointing to a boy who had blond hair and black tips.
"Well, I guess I've never noticed that before. I have to work on my homework if I want to get my outfit together before next week." Said Tina, taking a sip of pumpkin juice and walking out of the Great Hall.
"Girls. Can't live with them and can't live without them." Said Marco, laughing.
"Dad is letting Gina Longbottom take me. She's in third year, but she was in our class because she got lost and just decided on staying." Said Caden, shrugging his shoulders and cutting a bit of steak.
"You are one lucky dog. I hear she's real sweet and likes to have fun." Said Marco, jabbing Caden in the ribs again, making him cough.
"Sorry about that mate. What are you doing for the holidays? I'm going with my family to Ireland to visit with my aunt, she's suppose to be having a baby two days before Christmas." Said Marco, helping himself to a lemon square as they popped up.
"Dad, Annabelle and I always stay home for the holidays. Mum and dad would pick me up from grandmas and we would have so much fun. Mum loved Christmas, she said it was because that's when she found out that she was pregnant with me. And specking of Annie, her birthday should be tomorrow. I wonder what dad is going to do." Said Caden, thoughtfully.
"Your dad is smart he'll think of something fun to do. You, him and the teachers will probraly have a private party." Marco said with a shrug.
"I spose. Well I have to get started with all that Charms homework. And think, tomorrow we'll have even more with Transfiguration and care of magical creatures." Said Caden standing up and walking out with Marco closely behind.
(Teachers table)
"I'm glad that you asked me to spend the holidays with you. I really didn't have anything planned. And what are we going to do about little Annie's first birthday? Have the whole school know or just have the teachers know?" asked Hermione, giving Annabelle a lemon square and filling up her sippie cup.
"I think the whole school should know. This is a big step for her. I'm sure she would love to have a party. I'll have to ask Dumbledore though." Said Harry.
"Ask me what?" asked Dumbledore who was sitting right next to Harry.
"Can we have a school wide party for my little Annabelle. Her first birthday is tomorrow and I was wondering if we could?" asked Harry.
"Of course we can. I'll have a teachers meeting tonight and can you two handle the prefects and the head boy and girl?" said Dumbledore, now smiling.
"Sure. We can have the meeting before dinner. I'll give the teachers notes to tell them about your meeting and about how the students are leaving class 10 min early." Said Hermione, smiling brightly.
"Then it's settled. We shall have a party for this cute little thing." Said Dumbledore, looking over at Annabelle who had cream all over her face and juice down her shirt.
"I better go and give her a bath before class starts again." Said Harry standing up.
"Ok, see you Harry." Said Hermione, waving bye to Annabelle.
Harry walked down the hallway carrying a sticky Annabelle.
"Gees Annie, what sort of stuff will you get into. And I can't believe that you're one tomorrow. Then that's also the anniversary of your mother's death. We shall remember that day as a beginning and an end to life. Agreed?" asked Harry, wiping a tear away.
"Agweed." Said Annabelle, clapping her sticky hands as Harry opened their room door.
Harry put Annabelle down and took out his wand.
"Accio tub." Said Harry. Within moments a blue tub filled with everlasting water and soap came and set its self at Harry's feet.
He gently put Annabelle in and washed her up and dried her off and put on a cute blue dress to match her eyes.
"You look absolutely smashing. Let us be on our way or we'll be late to class." Said Harry grabbing her bag and giving her a warm bottle.
(That night, at Dinner)
"Let us begin to eat." Said Dumbledore, clapping his hands and the tables were filled with wonderful things.
"This looks really good. Either I'm starving or this is a feast!" Exclaimed Marco, who was always hungry.
"You're always hungry. Maybe the elves are just really up to cooking tonight." Said Tina, winking over at Jeremy.
"Dad says that they're going to have a party for Annabelle tomorrow night. There's going to be a feast and cool decorations." Said Caden, very happy.
"That sounds so sweet. But we don't have any presents." Said Tina, almost dropping her fork.
"That's alright. Christmas isn't too far away. She won't even know, this is her first birthday." Said Caden, looking up at his sister.
(Teachers table)
"Caden really seems to be fitting in. So are you still upset about him being in Alyssa's house instead of yours?" asked Hermione, cutting her steak.
"I'm starting to get over it sort of. At least he's not in Slytherin." Answered Harry, giving his daughter some cut chicken bits.
A/N: HEY DUDES AND DUDETTE'S. SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG, I WAS GETTING SOME THINGS DONE BEFORE SCHOOL ENDED AND THAT SURE IS A LOT! BUT NOT TO FEAR, SCHOOL WILL BE OUT IN TODAY! OH YEAH!
