Soon, it was around the Winter holidays. Raechelle wrote her mother a letter, like she promised.

Dear Mum,

My year at Hogwarts has been great, so far! My friends were wondering if they could come to our house.

Love and miss you,

Raechelle.

A few days later her mum sent her a short reply, telling them they could. Raechelle informed her friends on the fantastic news.

"Mei-Lei..." Raechelle prompted excitedly.

"Yes?"

"Do you want to come to my house during the Winter Holidays?" Raechelle grinned.

"Really? You want me to come? I'd love to!" Mei-Lei replied eagerly.

Raechelle asked all her friends and they all said yes. When it was time to leave, they all were bombarding her with questions.

"Does your mother have separate beds for all of us?"

"Yes."

"Do you have any siblings?"

"No."

"Is your mother nice?"

"Yes."

"Will she bake cookies?"

"...maybe."

And so on. After the questions, they decided to ask more...in the form of truth or dare. Guess who started it?

"Truth or dare?" Mei-Lei asked Hugo.

"Truth."

"Is it true that you...um...oh yeah! Is it true that you're Terraglithe's teacher's pet?" Mei-Lei asked.

"No. She hates me! I'm the worst!" Hugo answered. "Okay...Albus. Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

"Is it true that you like...Raechelle?"

"No!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! Okay...Fred. Truth or Dare?" Albus asked.

"Is this let's just reveal secrets? This is truth or DARE. So, I'm picking dare!" Fred nodded.

"Thank you, Fred, for that brilliant speech about truth or dare! Now, I dare you to tell Mei-Lei that you love her!" Albus grinned.

Fred glared at Albus. He did a rude gesture. Albus started laughing. "Mei-Lei, I..." Fred mumbled.

"What was that? We couldn't hear you!" Hugo teased.

"Okay, I chickened! Everyone has three chickens except me. I have two, thanks to Albus!" Fred told them. "Okay, Raechelle. Truth or Dare? Don't worry, I'm not as bad as Albus!"

"I'm so sorry! I was out of ideas!"

"Truth."

"Who do like?" Fred asked simply.

Raechelle was surprised. "What?"

"He wants to know who you like," Mei-Lei whispered.

"Chicken. It's personal. You probably won't know him anyway!" Raechelle closed her eyes for a moment. "Hugo, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

After that incident, the game was dampened down a bit. As they neared the station, everyone was growing excited. They grabbed their stuff and headed off the train.
