"Come on Dave don't tell me you're getting too slow!" I shouted jumping over the twins and ran back out of the door and all the way to the library and shut the door be hid me. The room was panel deep cherry with thousands of shells with books from all of the years. The windows were made of staid glasses casting colors of light through the room; some books were from the thirteen hundreds too last week it a sort of a family joke. I listened that door waiting for David to be gone or was back in the game room, I started to look through the shelves trying to find that book that Peter was talking about. I found a book about old family spells another on makeup, and changing hair colors. I continued to look through the shelves.

"Do you need help finding a book Miss?" a little voice asked.

I jump but then turn to see Leah, the mansion house elf. She had tan skin with dark brown eyes she was wearing an old pillow case that was clean with bleach the pillow case had rose buds over the case.

"God Leah you scared me," I said. "Yes I'm looking for a book that is about are family gifts."

"I know right where it is follow me please," I follow her through the many shelves and shelves till we came to the back wall, then through a oak door to huge vaulted room the walls were a deep maroon with a cherry desk and chair. "It here I get it for you Miss. Sam," Leah said walking ahead of me and jump up to a leather bound book withrubies in crusted on the four condors "Here Miss. Sam." Leah handed me the Book.

"Thank you Leah." I said as I went to sit behind the desk.

"Miss. Sam do you need anything to drink or eat?" Leah asked.

"Yes please," I said. "Could you get me some pumpkin juice please Leah"

"Yes Miss," Leah said. "I'll be back." and with that Leah disappeared with a crack I went right into the book.

"The list of gifts that Sullivan," The list went all the way back thirteen century I scan the list and found what I was looking for. "Amelia Margaret Sullivan born 1594 die 1869 was blessed with two gifts one being the ability of control water and the other was lightning."

"Peter was right." I whisper.

Leah came back with a goblet of gold with pumpkin juice.

"Here Miss. Sam." Leah said handing me the goblet.

"Thank you Leah." I said.

Christmas Eve had finally arrived much to my sorrow the reason because why was that very Christmas we have a huge party and I hate it, I would like a quiet and peaceful one but no we have a huge party meaning a dressing up and behaving. I was forced into a black and white plaid dress robe it was one of Mom design with black flats my hair was pulled into two side braids and the rest was down. Rose was wearing an emerald green dress with black heels her hair was pulled into a full braid, Phoebe had on a black and silver sleeveless dress with black heel boots with a sliver dress glasses, and she had her hair down. Paige had a sliver sweet heart chest and an a-line skirt with black fattls, she put on simple make up. Fiona had an emerald dressing robe with ¾ sleeves with an A-line with a ivory sash with small sliver heels. Her hair was pulled into two side braids. Ally was in a pale pink dress with a white collar and sash with black Maryjane's. Mom was in a bright red floor length dress robes with crystal clear heels and light makeup. Aunt Carmel had on a light cream color dress robes with gold fattls, Aunt Awel was in a light purple dress robes that ended that her knees with sliver heels. Aunt Deanna was in a dark blue dress robes that was short in the front and longer in the back, with a sweetheart top with black flats, all the boys and Uncles in black dress robes.

"Remember Sam we have the party tonight after this" Phoebe said checking her makeup once more

"Yea I know Phoebe." I said growling.

"You do know that you look great tonight." Phoebe said.

"I'm not happy," I growled. "I hate this dresses and girly all!"

"Just shut it and look pretty!" I heard Paige called.

I laughed that Paige called, around seven we headed to Christmas mass. I was greatly to sit between Peter and Fiona, the mass lasted a little over a hour. The ballroom in mansion was decorated in Irovy and red banners hanging around in the corners with little fairy lights floating around in shades of slivers and golden colors. The dinner table of dark oak that could easily seat over 50 people was not there but in the table place was small tables that would seated ten people, so the center was ready to dance. I knew that wizards and witches were coming from all over England apart from Bri and her mom were coming mostly family friends apart from Dad's work friends. I could tell Tonks was not happy about being here and in a pale pink dress robe her hair was a hot pink and same with me for most of the night. Bri was in a black dress robe.

"Come on Sam I want to show you some thing" Tonks said.

"I'm happy here" I said laying agianst the wall.

"That's a lie Sam, "Tonks said. "Come on." Tonks pulled me up and dragged me out to bacony were it was frezzing.

"Why I'm out here it's freezing?" I asked rubbing my arms.

"Look at the stars." Tonks said.

"I'm heading back inside it's freezing" I said turning around and headed inside.

"Hey Sam, you got a owl waiting for you." Bri said coming over to me.

"Thanks Bri" I said.

I noticed that Dad and Uncle Connor was talking to someone around there age with mousy brown hair flecked with grey and hazel eyes, there were all about the same height. This man was more sickly and paler and wearing old baggy patched up dress robes, I kept walking into the entry way were Tara was waiting with a note. I grabbed that note and ripped it open

"Happy Christmas, Sam hope all is well and merry new year can't wait to see you back that school- Julia." I smiled a little and quickly gave Tara a new note, that was address to Julia.

For the rest of the night I stand in the shadow till peter dragged me on to the dance floor. That the end of the night I was dead tried and headed up to my room, as I enter the room they was a large screech owl waiting that the widow silt. I allow the bird inside were it drop a red note I open the note to see Dustin neat handwriting.

"Happy Christmas, Sam I hope all is well and can't wait to see you that school again-Dustin" I hid a blush and wrote a note back.

"Hey Dustin thanks for thinking about me, Happy Christmas Dustin, can't wait to see you that school -Sam." I quirky gave the note to the owl and the owl took off that once.

I quickly change into my Pj which was now a pair of black silk pants with red Pj shirt with little witch hats with the pants was red witch hats. I pulled the cover down and hop in and pulled the covers back over me and fell asleep.

"Wake up Sam!" I heard Fiona yelled.

I didn't response, she started to jump up and down on my bed.

"Oh, go away Fi." I whisper.

"But It's Christmas!" Fi yelled.

"I don't care" I whisper.

The jumping stop for a few minutes then I was pulled up from bed and pulled over someone shoulder.

"This is a wake up owl for Sam" I heard David said.

"Put me down now!" I yelled sleepy.

I didn't get an answer but I was bought downstairs I could tell that.

"Look who Dave bought downstairs!" I heard Peter called.

"Shut it!" I growled.

I open my eyes with a start to see Daivd red back form his night shirt, he drop me and I landed like a cat causing Fi and Aidan to laugh hard that my landing. I simply rolled my eyes, the giant Christmas tree was covered in ornaments of gold and a few were floating with hill's of gifts.

"It's about time you woke up!" Nail yelled.

"I'm sorry alright" I said sitting down in between Peter and Martin.

"Go open your gifts!" Uncle Connor called giving all of us the ok to go get are gifts and open them.

Most of the little kids went running while us older kids hang back,I got a few good gifts. With a only a week left of break everyone headed back home apart from Uncle Connor, Aunt Awel, Rose, and Will live that the mansion.

Well that all for now, I'm sorry it took forever but please tell me what you think but please be kind about it alright. Thanks :D
