Chapter Five
All the presents were wrapped in colorful wrapping paper, each tied with a neat bow.
"Who are you writing to, Hermione?" asked Teri in a kind voice, which was unusual, and she seemed surprised at herself.
"Oh, I'm writing to Victor. I promised I would write to him." Said Hermione, also surprised at Teri's action.
"Victor? Victor Krum? You're still going out with that guy? He's in Bulgaria now!" shouted Ron.
"Calm down Ron! I don't care if he's in Bulgaria! He's wonderful…" said Hermione, thinking deeply again.
"Well, I think I'll have to shrink these, they're a bit big." Said Teri, getting Rita to help.
While they were shrinking the presents, Teri whispered to Rita, "Did you get Draco a present? Cause he won't like anything from a Gryffindor."
"You'll see." Smirked Rita. She knew that Teri was very impatient, but all she could say was that she'd see. Rita hadn't decided if she should give Draco a present.
"I'm so glad we did all our homework before Christmas Eve! Thanks Hermione." Said Harry; stretching his arms out from all the gift-wrapping he had done himself.
They were crabby-looking, but it showed he put effort into it.
Tomorrow was Christmas, and all of Hogwarts was excited.
There was ribbons and wrapping paper flying everywhere, but the Slytherin students were watching as if everyone were their slave.
Rita spied on Draco, while he was watching the Hufflepuff girls' wrap his presents for him and they blushed at Draco every few times.
Rita gave a soft 'pfft' and wanted to put a curse on them.
"What are you doing out here, Ms. Williams? Who are you spying on?" said a sly voice.
Rita could smell the foul smell of his greasy hair covering his face.
"Oh, uh… um, I was just about to go in, but…" Rita tried to think of an excuse.
"Don't lie to me, Ms. Williams. 20 points from Gryffindor and you have a detention in my room tomorrow at 6:00 o'clock sharp." Said Professor Snape. He was a bit paler this time of year.
"But tomorrow's Christmas Professor Snape!" shouted Rita, but Snape didn't listen to her and walked off.
A bit later, Teri ran to her. "What happened with you and Snape?" she asked.
"No! I have a detention tomorrow!" Rita moaned.
"What? That evil man is insane!" yelled Teri.
"Quiet! He might hear you!" Rita whispered.
