Chapter 15

Christmas At Hogwarts!

It was Christmas time at Hogwarts. And…well, I just loathed the holiday. Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia never really cared about Harry and I, even during that time.

But when we had the option of staying at school…I jumped at the chance, I was the first to sign up.

Draco knew my reasons for staying at school, so he signed up…for moral support. Since all the Slytherins were going home.

The day that everyone left…including Sheila and Ramona, we all said our goodbyes in the Great Hall. I gave Hermione a hug before she went down to Hogsmeade to catch the train with Ivy. I vowed to get more information on not only what happened when Hogwarts first began but also on Flamel, this one guy Harry, Ron, and Hermione were constantly talking about. I didn't know then, but I had a feeling that my brother and his friends were up to something.

After everyone left, Draco and I had the common room to ourselves. We got the good seats by the fire for a change…and we were toasting whatever I had under my bed in my junk food stash. Mainly Oreos.

"Hannah, why do you keep so many of these under your bed?" Draco asked, picking the sandwich cookie up and staring at it.

"Around midnight, I get hungry." I said simply "Oreos are my go to snack. Go on, try one."

"Ok…" Draco said hesitantly taking a bite.

"You're doing it wrong!" I said.

"How do you eat a cookie wrong?"

"Easy…" I said, taking my own cookie "First, you take one of the cookies off, exposing the cream." I started, putting the words into action. "Then you lick the cream off and eat the cookies after!" I stated as if it was the most simple thing in the world.

Draco rolled his eyes "I'll eat them a Malfoy way. You're way sounds so…fanatic."

"That's because I love Oreos!" I shouted.

"Fine, then. That's your nickname…Oreo Potter."

I slapped him "Shut up!" I said, teasing.

"Do you prefer Elemental Potter?" Draco smirked.

Yeah, I forgot to mention. Right after that meeting with Dumbledore, I told Draco about my powers…and he hasn't shut up about it.

"You want to fight?" I demanded.

"Bring it on, Oreo." Draco said taunting me.

I lunged and tackled him onto the carpet. I pinned him down and drew a gummy worm out of my robes.

"Hey, I forgot I had this. Maybe I should force you to eat it!" I said, dangling the worm in Draco's face, pretending it was a real one.

Draco paled "You wouldn't make me eat a worm…would you?" he whispered.

"Yes, Draco…I would." I said, lifting an arm up and trying to force the candy in.

Draco took the opportunity to grab the arm and swing me onto my back, he sat on top of my chest and took the worm from my hand.

"Now, let's see if Oreos are all you eat." Draco teased, dangling the worm in front of my face.

"Do it, I don't care." I said.

Draco took my jaw in his hand and forced my mouth open before slipping the worm in. I chewed up the candy and swallowed it, much to Draco's horror.

"What?" I asked "It was only candy."

Draco glared at me "You should have said that, then I wouldn't have sat on you."

"Yeah, and by the way. Get off me, you ox!" I yelled, throwing him on his side.

"I hate that you can do that, sometimes." Draco said, dusting himself off.

"Ok, ok. How about we go outside, so we don't hurt anything…like the furniture or ourselves. There is so much I have to show you about the Muggle world, Draco. It's not even funny!" I yelled, grabbing Draco by the arm and dragging him (with his winter cloak) outside.

As soon as we were outside, Draco slipped his coat on while I made a snowball.

"So what are we doing out here?" Draco asked, doing his cloak up.

"You'll see." I replied holding the snowball behind my back.

"What do you mean-" Draco started, cutting off with a shriek as I smashed the snowball on his head, laughing.

"Oh, you, Ms Potter are so dead!" Draco yelled balling up a snowball.

I ran "Come catch me if you want to kill me, Draco!" I taunted.

I felt the snowball hit me hard in the back and I turned around, picked up a snowball and shoved it down Draco's cloak and into his dress shirt.

"HANNAH!" Draco screamed "That's cold! So bloody cold! That wasn't fair!" he added, doing a little jig to get the snow out.

I smirked as he bent down, made a snowball and smashed it into my face. I shuddered.

"That's s-so c-cold!" I stammered out "That was a cheap shot!"

"No it wasn't." Draco smirked "This is a cheap shot." he added, pushing me into the snow.

"HEY!" I bellowed as Draco pinned me. "Not funny!"

Draco chuckled "I never intended to be serious."

I smirked "Well, at least you know what Muggles do in the snow."

Draco mirrored me "Well, you are missing one thing…"

I raised my eyebrows in confusion "What?"

"This." Draco put simply, leaning in for a kiss!

This was finally going to happen. Ivy was home for the holidays and it was just me and Draco out here! So it was finally going to-.

My happy thought was cut short at the sound of Draco yelling in pain.

"WHO THREW THAT!" he bellowed, pulling out his wand and getting up "Show yourself!"

To my shock, I saw that Ivy walked out of the Forest. Draco was instantly forgotten as I ran up to hug her.

"Ivy!" I yelled wrapping my arms around her "I thought you were-"

"I'm not going home for the holiday. My family was…busy." Ivy replied quickly, hugging me back.

"Does this have anything to do with that note you got last week?" I asked.

"NO!" Ivy said "My parents were just too busy over the holiday."

I looked at her suspiciously and had a feeling she wasn't telling me the truth.

Flashback

Ivy, Draco and I were sitting talking in the Great Hall earlier that day when Ivy's mini owl, Maria flew in and dropped a note in Ivy's lap. Ivy opened it as Maria flew off.

"What's that?" I asked, pointing to the note. "Can I read it?"

"No!" Ivy said quickly, trying to stuff the note in her pocket.

Draco ripped the letter from Ivy's hands "Bull crap!" he accused "Hannah has a right to know, should she ask!" he sneered, giving the note to me and earning a glare from Ivy.

It seemed to be a pretty important person, seeing as the fancy stationary, all pink and frilly. This was what it said.

Ivy Duff,

I hear from Mrs Drosie that you are spending a rather large amount of time with Slytherins. Especially Hannah Potter. She is not right, Ivy, and you should know that by now. I thought your uncle and I raised you better. If I hear again that you are spending time with the Slytherins, you bloody well know the penalty.

Your aunt,

D.J.U.

"What's the penalty?" I asked, infuriated at this person, who I was thinking was a woman judging by the writing.

"It's nothing." Ivy said quickly, taking the note from my hand and stuffing it in her pocket.

"Is this your aunt Drosie told us about?" I asked.

"Yeah," Ivy said "I got to go. I'll see you later, Han!" She added, getting up and running off.

End of Flashback.

"Well, at least we can hang out!" I said cheerily.

"Hey, since I'm the only girl in my dorms, want to spend the night?"

"Sure!" I shouted, ignoring Draco's infuriated look at Ivy "Sounds like fun! And besides, I haven't spoken to Harry in a while! Let's go!" I said, taking Ivy by the hand and walking her to my dorm, where I was staying alone.

After I got some stuff for the night, Ivy and I went back to Ivy's common room, where Harry and Ron were sitting by the fire toasting stuff.

"Hey! Harry, Ron!" Ivy yelled "Look who I got!"

Harry turned around "SIS!" he yelled getting up to hug me.

"Hey, bro!" I said wrapping my arms around his waist "What are you and Ron doing?" I asked, grabbing a toasting fork and sitting on my brother's lap.

"Nothing much, Han." Ron said, sparing a smile in my direction "We're plotting how to get Drosie expelled."

I had a "Light bulb over the head" moment "Get her to say the F word in front of Dumbledore!" I suggested.

"What are you guys talking about?" the voice of Fred Weasley asked behind us.

"Hey, Fred! What's up, George?" I said to the smirking twins.

"Not much, you?"

"I came up with a way to get Drosie expelled. Get her to say an expletive in front of Dumbledore!"

Fred scoffed "Pathetic! Really pathetic! Here's what you really do. Get some Dungbombs and set them off in Filch's office."

I started to laugh "That would be funny!"

"And…" George said "we ditch the bombs in Drosie's trunk!"

My eyes lit up "LET'S DO IT!" I shouted, jumping off Harry's lap.

Fred, George and I exchanged high fives when Ivy spoke.

"I had to be a party-pooper, but Drosie went home for the holidays."

Fred's eyes widened "Damn it! Then we shouldn't have-"

There was a loud bang from outside the portrait hole.

"You didn't!" Harry said smirking.

"We did. And we made sure that Mrs Norris was in there too!"

I burst into a fit of laughter "You…guys…are…killing…me!" I said between giggles.

"Han, calm down before you fall on the floor!" Harry ordered.

"Ok…ok!" I giggled, sitting down on a couch "Better?"

"Much, you worry me when you stand and laugh."

The next morning I woke up to Ivy hitting me with a pillow.

"What?" I said sleepily getting up.

"Come on! It's Christmas and Harry and Ron are downstairs at the Christmas tree!"

I got up and followed Ivy out of the dorm. Once I got downstairs, I saw a large Christmas tree by the fire and Harry and Ron laughing.

"Marry Christmas, sis. Catch!" Harry yelled throwing something blue at me.

I caught it. It was a jumper with a large silver H on its front.

"Mum made them." Ron said "I wrote her and told her you weren't expecting any presents, but I guess she didn't like that thought. Here, she made you some fudge too."

I sat down between Harry, Ron and the Twins and began to open my presents. I got some Chocolate Frogs from Hermione, a fifty pence piece from the Dursleys (which I gave to Ivy, she seemed very interested in the shape) and Ivy gave me something really wicked.

"HOLY SKINNER!" I yelled, taking a small item out of its box "What is it?" I asked.

Ivy smirked "It's a wand holder. You clip it on your hip and you can carry your wand around and pull it out when you need it."

"Thanks, V!" I yelled, hugging her.

I also got some stuff from my dorm mates. From Amelia, I got a handmade jewellery box. From Pansy, I got part of a friendship necklace. From Monique (very predictably) I got a large set of makeup. I got some rose bud earrings from Rose and a snake necklace from Lexi.

The boys from Slytherin got me stuff too. From Blaise, I got some perfume. From Goyle (and Crabbe.) I got some Bertie Blott's Every Flavour Beans. And from Draco…

"A GUITAR!" I screamed, looking at the green and silver instrument, gleaming at me. I picked it up and slug the strap over my shoulders. "Oh my gosh! This is so awesome!"

"There's one more." Harry said, picking up a package and looking at it "It's for the both of us."

I grabbed the parcel from Harry and looked at it. It said To Harry and Hannah Potter.

I ripped off the parcel and looked inside, there was two silvery substances inside.

"Sweet!" I said, taking one and giving the parcel to my brother. The material felt like water in my hands. Ivy and Ron gaped.

"Is that…what I think it is?" Ivy asked Ron.

"I hope so. Han, Harry, put them on!"

I looked at my brother and put on the thing. Turns out it was a Cloak.

"HOLY CRAP! It's an Invisibility Cloak!" Ivy shouted "Look down!"

I looked down at mine and Harry's feet, but they were gone.

"Dude…" I said after a while "This has got to be…the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!"

A/N: Sorry the Chapter was so long! But there's going to be a little more Draco/Hannah moments in the next chapter so I had to have some Harry/Hannah moments. And I know there isn't two Invisibility Cloaks, but I made it so there was, so Hannah wasn't left out. So…I hope you enjoyed it and as always, reviews are loved!
