I started this chapter around 10:00pm at night and I had school and stuff so I couldn't finish right away. This chapter is about the little growing of Avana and Filips relation ship and Hogsmead and Christmas since I wanted to make a longer chapter.
In some of it it might be confusing because it will go from one stop to a few days later.
Voice in head: J. K. Rowling owns Harry Potter and all of the characters in the books and movies. Elena owns Avana and T.E.D.S owns Filip.
On with the story!
Being who she is Avana wanted to meet her birth mother, but even more, she wanted to know what Filip and Dumbledore talked about.
At the end of November Filip saw the young girl who originally showed him to the headmasters office.
He studied her. Her curly hair was pulled into two french braids. She was wearing a charcoal gray pencil skirt and a dark purple winter robes over.
How do I even know this stuff? He wondered to himself as he saw the Malfoy boy start walking to Avana. He ran over to her.
"Hello Avana." Filip said stepping in her line of vision. She looked at him in confusion. He was a Slytherin with a capital S-L-Y and he was talking to a first year Ravenclaw? What was wrong with the world?
"Hi Filip..." she replied slowly as if something would happen and he would hex her at any minute. She looked around him and found the source of him coming and talking to her. Draco. He hated (Or was jealous.) Draco and of course she did not know why!
"Let us take a spacer." he said. She nodded and followed him, not knowing what spacer meant but guessing it meant walk since they were walking.
"Whats wrong? You seem troubled." said Avana with worry that he was getting bullied.
"Not a thing wrong." he replied as they walked. "What do you do?" he asked. She looked at him.
"In my free time?" she asked not fully understanding.
"Yes." he said, she nodded and started to think. Well what did she do in her free time?
"I draw... and read, what do you do?" she asked. Avana looked up at the Lucius look-a-like and saw a thoughtful look on his face that she knew Lucius would never have.
"I like to practice curses. Read and I use to spend time with my mother." he said and sadness crossed over his features for a second before it went back to its usual hardness.
"Curses? I don't know any yet. And what is your mother like if you don't mind me asking?" said Avana curiously.
"I can teach you if you wish. And she is sweet and caring. She is the DADA teacher at my old szkoła." he said. Avana studied his face, He was thinking, a look Avana often saw on Lucius when she or Draco were in trouble or he was thinking about something someone said.
"Filip, if you teach me the curses I could teach you something." she said slowly like she was going to fall into a trap and it would snap shut at any minute.
"Okay, that would be great Avana! Thank-you." he said smiling slightly at her. She smiled her sweet smile back.

Fall progressed into winter as November changed into December. Before the children knew it Christmas was around the corner and the last Hogsmead trip before Christmas was that day.
And being the friend he was, and the Slytherin, Filip was sneaking Avana into Hogsmead with Luna. Though he found Luna quite comical he kept it quiet. Not that she cared though.
"What do you need to get Avana?" asked Luna as she put down her copy of the Quibbler.
"A new needle kit for my Aunt, some new Robes for my Uncle, Candy for Draco, Candy for my mother and father, and I cant think- presents for both of you!" exclaimed Avana as she jumped up but fell back in her seat as they went over a bump.
"Ava you do not have to." said Filip using his nickname for Avana, the two had grown close over the couple of weeks.
Filip had told Avana more about his life in Poland and about his mother. He never mentioned a father though.
Avana told him stories of her childhood like when she fell out of a tree trying to show Draco girls can do anything boys can do.
Or when she and Luna sneeked out of the castle at night and into the forbidden forest.
She also told him about her fondness for muggle music, books and movies. He was very curious about those things.
Lune told them about her mother and about Nargels among other things. She didn't care that some of the things they found funny. She just told them in a serious tone that the thing were real.
Filip liked Avana, she was like a sister. Same with Luna. Two crazy little sisters that were very comical and sweet at the same time.
"I want to," said Avana, her brown eyes challenged them to speak against her but both of them were smarter than to fall for her tricks.
"We're here." said Luna as they got off the carriages and walked into the village. Avana went under her invisibility cloak and climbed onto Filips back.
"Where first?" asked Luna.
"Honey Dukes." Avana breathed into Filips ear.
"Honey Dukes." he repeated hoping nobody would find out about the little stow away.
He felt her climb onto his back higher and she sighed in annoyance slightly. He restrained a laugh at his little friend and a hex at Draco Malfoy who was walking by.
They- being Luna and Filip walked into the sweet shop and Avana whispered different Candies in their ears to grab.
Lemon drops, Chocolate frogs, liquorish wands, and practically everything. She slipped her coin pouch and they paid. Filip didn't know what half the stuff was.
"Clothing shop. They know me there." she said as they walked over and slipped into an ally. She took the cloak off and put it in her bag.
Avana walked into the shop. "Hello Miss. Lestrange, come to pick up the cloak you ordered?" Madam prince asked as she got the things for Lucius.
"Thank-you." Avana said sweetly as she left the shop and into the ally again.
"Now where?" asked Luna as she got back from getting her friends and fathers present.
"How 'bout the sewing shop then then the three broom sticks then I can go in the cloak to get both of you presents and Filip can get his." said Avana without pausing for air.
"Okay Avana." said both of her friends at the same time as they left to get her aunts present.
Hogsmead looked lovely. Snow was all over the trees and ground and houses, as well as still falling. Children were going from store to store with red cheeks and noses from the cold or leaving because they got what they needed.
They got Narcissa a beautiful emerald thread. When they got into the three broom sticks they were cold to the bone and wanted to get the rest over with.
"I'll pay." said Avana quietly from her spot on Filips back. Luna nodded, Filip was thinking.
"What is Butterbeer? Why would they put butter in beer?" he asked Luna honestly confused. She smiled at him and he glared back at her.
"You'll see, and it isn't butter in beer." she said and ordered three. Two for there and one to go for a friend.
"So what did you get for your father Luna?" asked Filip, Avana slid off his back and under the table.
"Hello Antkowisk, Loony." Draco said as he sat down. Avana's eyes widened, his legs inches away from her. Filip shifted uneasily as Luna just looked at Draco.
"Hello Malfoy." he said with unease in his voice. Draco smirked.
"Hello Draco Malfoy." said Luna in her dreamy voice that irritated Draco to no end.
"Why did you get three glasses? Sneered Draco. Avana gulped but didn't dare move a muscle.
"For Avana. We're bringing it back for her." said Filip darkly, Avana cringed and bumped into Draco but he took no notice.
"Well I am leaving in an hour." said Draco as he got up and walked out. Avana crawled out from under the table as Filip and Luna jumped up and all three walked out of the three broom sticks.
"Meet at the carriage in ten." said Avana as she ran to the sweet shop and Zoinks pushing people out of the way.
She bought chocolate frogs for Filip and berets beans for Luna. She also got a fake wand for Luna since she would need it one day and exploding snap for Filip
She ran to the carriages and dived into the one Filip and Luna were in just as the door was closing. The door closed with a click behind her and she tore off the cloak.
She was dressed in yoga pants, pink ugg boots and a sweater under her Dark purple winter cloak.
"You have to act like you didn't leave." said Luna quickly because Hogwarts was fastly approaching.
"Hang out in the court yard Avana, or inside in the library." added Filip, Avana nodded and yawned.
~AKL~
I cannot believe we get to go home!" squealed Avana as she sat in the compartment with Draco, Pansy, Goyle, Crabbe, and Theodore.
"Avana it is not that exciting." said Pansy as she looked at her nails like the brat of a witch she was.
"Well to me it is." she stated. She hated all of Draco friends, one because they were all fifteen and she was eight. Two because they acted like pure-blood was the best thing ever!
She sighed, her curly black hair free of pink to her dismay, was put up in a bun, but falling out of it.
"Come on Avada, can't be wanting your Auntie and Uncle that badly." said Goyle in a fake baby voice. Avana stood and stormed out of the compartment as the train pulled up, dragging her suit case with her.
"Avana! Draco!" said Narcissa as the teen and child walked up. She hugged Avana then Draco to his dismay and Amusement to Lucius.
"Hello Aunt Cissy, Uncle Lucius." said Avana.
"Mother father." said Draco "Lets please, go home." he said, they nodded. Draco went with Lucius, and Avana with Narcissa.
When they got home they ran to their rooms. Avana's was dark purple and green. Draco's silver and green.
"Avana, you are getting one of your Christmas presents early." said Narcissa, Avana looked up confused from her letter she was writing Filip.
"What is it?" she asked Standing up.
"We are taking you to meet your mother and father."
The longest chapter I think I have ever written! Please review, I would love that and tell me what you think.
And I don't actually know if they have ugg boots in England but I don't care! I love them :)
