Chapter 18:
Not alone at Christmas

Christmas was just around the corner.During free periods students could be found outside playing in the snow.The castle was a completely a beauty inside and out.Everyone bustling about decorating.Teachers hung invisible mistletoe that only appeared when a boy and girl stood under it.They thought it would be a good surprise, Hagrid had cut down some Christmas trees and set them up in the Great Hall,while Professor Flitwick charmed them so they would light up at night.He also decorated them with different ornaments, like the Hogwarts crest hung in the middle facing everyone.

There was a Christmas tree for each house in their common rooms and in the Great Hall,each with ornaments of angles,snowflakes,snowmen and such.And their house colors.Malfoy was now dreading the arrival of his fathers letter.Every breakfast was torture,he would look up at the owls when they flew in.Yet,there was no news or letter which kind of relived him of his worries.The morning before Christmas eve,there was a Hogsmead trip."-And there are no classes, As well as a Feast at the end of the day.So when you hear that it is time for the trip...Dont be late"said Professor Dumbledore.

"What are you doing for The Holidays? are you like going home?..."asked Gabi when Dumbledore finished talking,"No... my dad doesn't want me home....so I'll just stay here for Christmas...It's not like I haven't before..."sighed Malfoy.He looked down at his scramble eggs and pushed them around with his fork.Gabi studied him for a careful minute,Just then a small tawny owl landed in front of her,with a small white envelope tied to its leg.Gabi untied the letter and opened it.Her eyes widen when she had finished."Malfoy!"she said rather out-loud,he looked up."What?" he asked curiously."My dad says i can stay here for Christmas! you won't be alone!"she exclaimed happily.Malfoys eyes sparkled

"Really?"
"Yes! here read"she said passing him her fathers letter.He read it twice,"This is great,I wont be alone!...again!"

A/N:See kind of short but chapter 19 is as well but important not really but you gotta read it! so onto chap 19.Hope you liked this one! THANKS MUCH REVIEWERS!!-Sam
