Christmas Day…
Mum was really excited about me being home. Both my parents were at the station to pick me up. Petunia was there too but she didn't look happy about it. I had hoped that the few months apart would make her miss me enough that she's be kinder but I guess that was stupid. I think things will never be the same again. I love being a witch but I miss my sister. I miss being able to talk to her about anything. She's never going to see me the same again. I'm always just going to be her freak sister.
I got some really great presents. Mum and dad got me a beautiful white gold necklace from mum and dad. It had an amazing round pendant with a doe in the middle of it. It was absolutely perfect. Severus gave me a simple goblins gold bracelet with pretty ornate green stones all around it. He'd left a note saying that he was sorry. It was so hard to stay angry with him. He really is my best friend and there is nothing that will ever change that. My friends don't understand. They think I'm stupid being his friend. They think that he's just the same as all the other Slytherins but I know him better than they do. He's kind and sweet. He'd never hurt anyone. He's nothing like Avery or Malfoy or that horrible Lestrange. My gifts were amazing from the girls; a pretty scarf, a couple of books, some chocolate frogs and beautiful new quill. They really do know me so well.
