Chapter 10 It's Beginning To Look A lot Like Trouble

Winter, snow, Christmas, and Hogwarts; my favorite things are finally here. The entire mess hall was to be decorated with a huge tree, ornaments, and wreaths. Harry, Ron and I had been hanging out in the mess hall. The two boys were playing an intense game of chess and once I realized that it was actually incredibly boring to watch two boys play chess I just took a nap on the bench using Harry's lap as a pillow. I was actually getting some good time to sleep but then I heard Hermione's voice.

"That's totally barbaric." She exclaimed.

The muffle my laughter into my sleeve as I listen to the conversation.

"I see you've packed." Ron commented.

"Great observation there." I mutter and Harry laughs.

"And I see you havent." Hermione said.

"Another good one." I mumbled and Harry at this point was shaking his head and chuckling as the two bickered back and forth.

"Well Harry is going to the library to research Nicholas Flamel."

"Wow Harry you're being the nerd of the family!" I exclaim to which I receive a leveled scowl.

"It's in the restriction section." Hermione whispers before walking away. We all finished up after that and headed to the dorms. Morning came quickly and by quickly I mean Ron woke up early and decided to scream our names. I quickly jumped out of bed and ran to the balcony to see Harry grinning down. I look to where he was staring and let out a gasp of delight.

"Happy Christmas Harry and Ashley." Ron says with a smile.

"Happy Christmas Ron." Harry says with a smile.

I look at Harry and for some reason I began to cry. Tears were falling as Harry gave me a hug. It was the first time somebody actually for us presents, and well, cared for us. As we both go downstairs we look at Ron's sweater but before we could comment he said.

"There's also ones for you two also."

We both laugh and run downstairs to the common room. We both take our gifts and rip them open slowly. Harry reads a note and Ron and I watch in awe as Harry takes out a cloak.

"Dad gave you that? Wicked!" I say with a grin.

Harry finally looks down to see that it's an invisibility cloak and gasps too before spinning around.

"I know exactly what I'm doing with this." Harry said with an almost evil laugh.

I inch away towards Ron and we both just eyes Harry who grabs a lantern and leaves.
