The winter season seemed to have snuck up on the inhabitants of Hogwarts. The snow had fallen fast and hard, leaving the castle and its grounds look like a picture out of a fairy tale.
Harry saw Hagrid dragging twelve large pine trees from the forest and into the castle.
Not many students stayed at school over the holidays preferring to spend time with their family and friends.
Harry was one of those students. Tomorrow the Hogwarts Express would be arriving the next day to take students back to the muggle world.
Harry couldn't wait. He wanted to tell everyone about what was going on in school. Even though he wrote letters to everyone back at the Capital, it wasn't the same as being with them in person.
The one thing Harry wasn't looking forward to was losing this time to find out more about Flamel. He and Hermione were both put out by that, but they promised to renew their search when they got back from holiday.
As Harry was packing his things he noticed a package laying on top his bed. Harry saw that there was no label on it and wondered who it could be from.
Cautiously Harry unwrapped the package to find a cloak with a letter attached to it.
Deciding whoever sent him the cloak might have written their name on the letter, Harry chose to read that first.
Reading the letter over Harry found that there was no name to whoever sent him the cloak, only that it had belonged to his father James, and that it was time to be returned to its proper owner.
What made it really weird was at the end of the note it said to "use it well." Whatever that meant.
Deciding to try the cloak on Harry draped it over his body leaving his head exposed. Looking down he was startled to see that his body was gone.
Well it wasn't gone. He could feel his body, and he could still move around just fine.
Then it hit him: the cloak makes you invisible.
Harry couldn't help but wonder if this is what Tatsumi feels like when he uses Incursio's trump card. He would have to ask him once he got back to the Capital.
Having boarded the train Harry and Hermione moved to find a compartment they could sit in before the train became too jam packed with students.
After finding a compartment the two were joined by Justin and Susan who asked if they could sit with them.
Justin was very excited about going home for the holidays. Coming from a muggle family he would finally be able to tell them all about the school he was going to.
"What are your plans Susan?" Hermione asked the other girl.
"Well I'll be spending the holiday with my Auntie Amelia," Susan told her.
"Is she a muggle or a witch?" Justin asked.
"She's a witch, she actually is the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement," Susan answered.
"Sounds important," Harry said.
"Yeah, she basically handles all legal matters and makes sure justice is done right. She's very busy most of the time so I'm glad I'll get to see her."
The train arrived at Kings Cross at eleven o' clock sharp. Stepping off the train Harry looked around for whoever was sent to pick him up.
Hermione had spotted her parents and had ran up and gave them each a hug. She gestured for Harry to come over.
"Harry these are my parents," Hermione told him as he approached the family.
Hermione's father introduced himself as Dan, and his wife as Emma. "It's nice to meet you Mr and Mrs. Granger," Harry said.
"Nice to meet you as well," Mrs. Granger said smiling at him.
"Are your parents or whoever here yet?" Mr. Granger asked.
"No, I haven't spotted them yet," Harry answered. "But they should be arriving soon."
Sure enough four figures soon emerged through the barrier. It was Tatsumi, wave, Chelsea, and Ran.
Harry could see why these were the ones who were sent. Out of everyone these four certainly looked the most normal. Anyone else would standout even among wizard standard and that was saying something.
Waving them over to where he was the group of four approached Harry and the Grangers.
"Hey Harry!" Wave said as he met with the boy. "How've you been?"
"I'm fine, great actually," Harry told him.
"Doing good in your studies?" Ran asked.
"The teachers seem to think so."
"Been getting in any trouble?" Chelsea asked with a wink.
"Define trouble," Harry said thinking of the dog and troll.
"Make any friends?" Tatsumi asked.
"Yeah actually," replied Harry. "One of them is right here." He gestured to Hermione. "This is Hermione, and Hermione this is Tatsumi, Wave, Chelsea, and Ran."
Hermione was very excited to meet the four. "It's such an honor to meet all of you," she told them. "I've read about all of you."
The four exchanged a confused look, that was followed by an awkward silence that was broken by Chelsea. "Looks like I can cross achieve celebrity status off my bucket list."
They exchanged a few words with the Grangers, before they left with Harry.
Back at the Capital Harry received a warm welcome back. "Harry!" Seryu shouted as she ran towards the small boy to give him a bone crushing hug. And it could be considered to be literally bone crushing since her arms were metal.
"It hasn't been the same here without you!" the orange haired girl told him.
Harry was excited to tell everyone the things that had went on at school so far concerning the troll, the dog, Flamel, and his suspicions about Quirrell. Not to mention the new Invisibility Cloak he had gotten.
Everyone was gathered in the meeting room to hear what Harry had to tell them. They listened without interruption as Harry told them everything that had happened so far in the school year, the people he met, the classes, and about the society itself.
"That Malfoy brat sounds like a real pain in the ass," Mein angrily stated angrily when Harry told them about how some pureblooded wizards believed they were better than others simply based on their blood status. "I mean you can all do magic it doesn't matter where you were born from."
"Every school has its bullies that's for sure," Ran agreed. "But what has me concerned is why keep a dog as vicious as that in a school full of children?"
"Let's not forget a troll was free and roaming the halls nearly killing three students," Esdeath brought up. "Impressive way of killing it I must say."
"He shouldn't have had to kill it since it shouldn't have been there in the first place," Najenda said.
"Yeah I mean what are some of the staff thinking keeping these things in a school?" asked Lubbock. "I mean it's a magic school, but still."
"There must be somebody who can look into all this," Seryu said.
"Well my friend Susan has an aunt who's in the law enforcement," Harry said.
Najenda nodded. "If anything else happens at this school write to her. There might be a chance that an investigation can be put into place."
Harry nodded as well and promised that he would. "Oh I almost forgot," Harry said as he pulled out the Invisibility Cloak. Draping it over himself he watched the shocked faces as his body disappeared from view.
"Whoa how'd you do that?" Leone asked.
"Someone sent it to me as a gift," Harry told them. "There was aletter saying that it belonged to my father and it was time it was returned to me."
"That's neat," Tatsumi said. "I wonder if I'll be able to see using Incursio."
"Why would you think that?" Akame asked.
"Come on you haven't ever thought about if invisible people could see other invisible people?" Tatsumi asked.
Akame shook her head.
"Anyone else wonder that?" Tatsumi asked. Everyone just stared at him blankly. "So I'm the only one? Well now I feel stupid."
"That's because you are," Mein teased. The two of them soon began arguing like an old married couple. Harry couldn't help the feeling that if Tatsumi wasn't with Akame he'd probably be with Mein. It was strange to admit but he could see it.
After the arguing had died down the meeting ended as everyone went to their own quarters.
As the days passed by Christmas had arrived.
Akame seemed very happy with her gift from Tatsumi, seeing as that he had gotten her meat from just about any and all animal and danger beast. Even though she completely devoured it in about a minute and a half, she was still grateful.
Wave had gotten Kurome a large bag of cookies with candies baked into them. Kurome basically had stars in her eyes as she began to munch on her new sweets.
Bols had unsurprisingly went back to his home to spend the day with his wife and daughter.
Lubbock had actually got Najenda a new and improved prosthetic arm. It still had the grabbling feature, but with a hidden blade and gun.
"This is quite the impressive gift Lubbock," the silver haired woman told the green haired man. "This is defiantly better than my old one."
"Would you say that I gave you the best one you've ever had?" Lubbock asked.
"Well yes I suppose so, this is the best one I've ever had. Thank you Lubbock," Najenda told her loyal friend who was currently suffering a nosebleed from Najendas choice of words.
The Christmas spirit must have been infecting everyone as even Mein and Seryu who hated each other's guts were behaving civil towards one another, although that probably wouldn't last long.
All in all it had been a good day, and Harry would certainly miss everyone once he had to go back to school. But still, it felt good being home.
