Chapter 20!

Muwhahaha!

I don't own Harry Potter or it's characters, but I own Vespera :D

I literally just spent about half an hour typing more on the last chapter (Meaning the one that's coming next) because I really just don't know WHAT to type for Christmas xD On the good news: The next chapter will be out fairly soon after this one 3

This is also the third shortest chapter I've posted! I'm sorry about this! (It was supposed to originally be linked onto Chapter 19, but since I hadn't given you guys a chapter in a while, I released 19 without attaching Christmas.)

To the Reviewers:

Mariam nisar: I most definitely will be posting more over the holidays! The rest of the story, and the bloopers, will be posted, more than likely, within this next week.

Jaelah Phantomhive: Pleasure as always. Seriously, making unintentional Doctor Who References is great!

Dancing-Souls: Thank you! I love a new reviewer :D

I shot up Christmas morning, to Draco pounding on my door, "COME ON VESPERA! WAKE UP! LET'S OPEN PRESENTS!" Then I heard banging further down, "JAELAH! WAKE UP! CHRISTMAS!" Then stomping down the stairs.

I grabbed my wand and tapped it in the air, and saw it was only 6 in the morning, there was no way that I was going to get entirely dressed, especially with Draco so excited. I spelled my pajamas into Christmas Red and Green, then braided my hair into a single braid down my back, before opening the door and nodding at Jaelah, "Happy Christmas Jaelah."

"It'll be Happy once I get food, or a few more hours asleep, or even both. Draco gets up entirely too early for this." Jaelah was complaining, she too was in her pajamas, at least I wasn't alone in my early morning clothing.

We reached the bottom of the stairs, and the only one that seemed to be awake was Draco. He was sitting in the floor, so I walked over to him, and fell into his lap, and just dramatically laid there. "Get off of me Sis." He shoved me off, and I rolled into the floor and chuckled.

Meanwhile, Cissy and Lucius watched us and smiled, not saying a word. Jaelah pushed Draco over, and began tickling him. "HAPPY CHRISTMAS DRACO. THANK YOU FOR WAKING US UP."

Draco was laughing, dying with it, "I give up! I surrender! You win! But since we're up anyways..." Jaelah stopped, and looked at the elder Malfoys, getting Lucius's wave of approval.

She grinned, and got a present, that she handed to me, and then another one that she handed to Draco.

I opened mine, amazed by the wrapping paper moving. Inside was a box, and inside the box was an orb. I picked it up, and held it towards the light. Suddenly, on the inside of the orb the scene of when I first met Fred and George appeared. I looked at Jaelah and raised an eyebrow.

She smiled, "It'll show your happiest memories inside of it. Just if you ever need a little pick-me-up."

"Thanks Jaelah. It's great." I carefully sat it down, then grabbed a box for her and Draco, making a second trip for Cissy's and Lucius's. I hadn't thought to spell the wrapping paper, so instead I just had different colored wrapping paper.

Jaelah opened hers a squealed, "My potion bottles! And even a few new ones! Thank you so much Vespera!"

Draco opened his, and poked at it, "What is this?"

I rolled my eyes, "You have to actually open the box Draco."

His face turned red, as he opened a box to reveal a snake figurine, "It's nice Vespera. What is it?"

I smiled, "You'll just have to wait and figure that out on your own." He stuck his tongue out at me, and we laughed at our Christmas Present fun.

I opened several other presents, a few books, some clothes, and a hair pin. However, there was one thing that was the best out of everything I got.

The box was addressed "From: The Malfoys." It was in a dark shiny black paper, and tied with a green and silver bow. I pulled the box and opened the box, and inside was a choker with the Malfoy crest on the center of it. "This is beautiful. Thank you so much! I'll always cherish it." I slipped it around my neck and clasped it together.

"It's enchanted to grow as you get older, so it always fits. We're glad you have joined our family Vespera." Cissy smiled at me, and I could only grin back.

As we sat down for breakfast, an owl came through the open window, and landed on the back of my chair. She had a package in her beak, and dropped it in my hand, where it then grew. "You're a good owl." I took a piece of bacon and fed it to her, she ate it then flew off.

"Who's it from?" Harmony asked, the first words she had said to me since the first day.

"I don't think that's even a question. It's from Fred isn't it?" Jaelah said, with a knowing smile.

I opened an envelope that was attached to the package, "Yes it's from Fred."

On the letter it read:

Happy Christmas Little Star!

I hope you are finding your Christmas well. Is it true that you're a Malfoy now? You'll always just be little Star to me, no matter what. I do wish that you had told me though. Christmas here is quiet, there aren't many Gryffindors left, just a small handful of students here at Hogwarts. In the package, well you'll figure it out later. Don't open it in the presence of, well, the others. You'll know why. I'll see you in a few days.

Truly,

Fred Weasley

I smiled at it and said out loud, "He says to not open it in front of you guys."

"That's so adorable. It's probably something top secret, and it's going to be the sweetest thing ever," Jaelah looked like she was in awe.

"Oh yeah, absolutely adorable," Draco grumbled.

The adults just shook their heads at us, letting us bicker as we felt like.

The rest of Christmas we spent just fooling around, and by fooling around, I mean that I stayed in my room, listening to Jaelah make potions and Draco and Harmony run around the house.

Fred had given me a muggle book, something he had thought I would enjoy, and honestly, I was enjoying it a lot. I also received a green sweater with a silver star on the front of it. I was sure that Mrs. Weasley had made it for me, with Fred telling her what to put on it.

This was by far, the best Christmas I had ever had.

With the exception that Professor Snape came over for dinner, and had planned on staying for the next week, in order to prepare me for the few exams I had to take still.

Dinner was awkward, with barely any talking.

The week that followed, was torture.

Snape was a decent professor, if you got past all of his glaring and hating that he knew you were a muggle in a full blood wizard's cloak.

But I was going to be a great witch, and he would get over it. I would be better than him, he just didn't know that yet.

Snape left a day early, saying that I was ready for my exams, and he wasn't going to spend any more time with bickering children, and I was okay with him leaving early.

Tomorrow, we would be on the Hogwarts express, on our way to our friends again.

Even better, I wouldn't have to see Harmony anymore.

The rest of this year would be the best, especially if Christmas was a positive outlook on it.

Okay folks! That's all for this one! I know it's really short, but I really don't know what else to write, the next chapter will be the last chapter 3 And It will come out really soon, I promise (especially cause it's pretty much almost written, except for stuff I'm adding in to make it longer 3 )

Also, once I'm done with Year 1, there will be bloopers posted, of some mistakes I've made or thought about, and rolled with for a few paragraphs, and thought they would be worth sharing with you guys. Then, I'll be going back and editing the first several chapters, maybe adding more details within them, but definitely fixing spelling and grammar, it's just horrible in the beginning of this! After that, well you'll just have to wait til the next chapter and the epilogue come out to figure that out!

P.S. In regards to finishing first semester of College, I made the Dean's List! Woohoo :D I managed to pass my German class with an A-!

Reviews are appreciated :D
