How did I leave this out? Bangs head against wall. I really don't understand computers.

The sun was shining brightly against Lily's eyelids. Groaning she rolled over onto her other side and yawned. Her pyjamas felt comfortably loose and airy around her. She snuggled underneath the comforter; it felt much warmer in bed than usual since she normally woke up shivering during the winter. It felt as though she was in her four-poster bed in the Hogwarts girls' dormitory. 'But I'm not' she told herself firmly, 'I'm in my own bed in 15 Greenbird Road'. The sunshine was weak but it made her groan 'I must have left my curtains open again,' she thought.

'It's Christmas'. The thought came so quickly and she was surprised she hadn't thought of it before. Something felt different though and so she cautiously and sleepily opened one eyelid. She was immediately fully awake.

Her eyes travelled over her surroundings. They were completely unfamiliar. She saw an enormous mahogany cupboard standing proudly in one corner. It was ajar and inside a full-length mirror could be seen. The other side of the room supported a big and ornately carved chest of drawers, also polished mahogany. Both had robes draped over them neatly and the cupboard had a fair number of muggle clothes like dresses, jeans and shirts inside it.

Lily began to enjoy just looking and she almost forgot to panic. Almost. The room was large and tastefully decorated with sleek wooden panelling and dark peach paint on the walls. The ceiling was supported with strong varnished oak beams and although the room was completely clean it still had a lived in and homely feeling. A wreath was hung up over the door and glancing up Lily could see mistletoe...

It was then that Lily remembered her predicament and started feeling nervous again. 'Maybe it's all a dream and I'll wake up soon and be snug at home again'. She didn't think so though, why did it seems so real then? The thick cream-coloured comforter slid off her shoulders as she sat up. As she looked down she saw a rumpled purple pyjama top that read "My Lily". 'This is a dream', she thought sternly and promptly lay down again and put the covers over her face. 'Muppet will come in any second now and start pecking me awake.'

She felt a bit scared when about five minutes went by with nothing happening. She only heard a soft noise like a person taking gentle deep breaths. 'But it can't be,' she thought, 'who else could be in here?'

Then a nasty thought struck her, 'What if I was kidnapped? And now they're going to hold me for ransom?' But she didn't believe that. She knew that there must be a reasonable explanation because she was a very light sleeper and she was sure nobody had moved her while she was asleep because she hadn't woken up. Besides, there was a certain peace about the place, almost... Lily blinked, dare she think it?

It was the atmosphere she had so long hoped for while living with her parents. The thing she had wanted most for Christmas; the feeling that she was cherished and loved by someone who wanted her more than anyone else.

She peeked out from under the blanket again and gasped as she looked at the calendar. Instead of familiar "1977" the calendar read "1979". Now she knew what had happened. She was a smart witch and had a good memory. She remembered her wish from last night and she knew it had come true. A Christmas with her husband and maybe children.

She heard a yawn from the other edge of the queen sized bed and she stiffened. It seemed almost familiar... She shook her head slightly and turned to look at the noise's source. He (or it) was covered by the comforter. She stood up and tip-toed to his edge of the bed. Cautiously, she reached for a corner of the blanket and flung the cover off of him.

LOL, I luv cliffhangers. Plz review!!!
