"So what do you do for fun besides hang out here?" Carmella asked leaning her back on the shelf. Her and the boy were still on the opposite side of the shelf. She smiled to herself.

"Well not much. I tend to keep to myself. Odd for a Gryffindor, eh?"

"I guess. I seriously don't know a whole lot of Gryffindor students. But I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing."

"So are you ever going to tell me who you are? And why are we still on opposite sides of this shelf?"

"I, um, well I just don't want this to get ruined. Please don't ask why but I'd love if you would just deal with this for a while."

"Oh. Ok then. Since I don't mind telling you anything I shall introduce myself. I'm Jonathon."

"I'm Ca- that's interesting. So what should I know about you?"

"What do you want to know?" Carmella held her tongue for a moment because she wanted to tell him she wanted to know everything.

"What's your favorite book?"

"Oh, its this muggle book called The Wings of the Dove. It shows people for their true intent. That's why I think people should just be them and not care if they are accepted or not." Carmella sat aghast for a moment and tears welled in her eyes. She wiped them away.

"Well, I would to stay and chat but I have to go do something." She quickly got up but hid behind a shelf just diagonal to the one they were at. Jonathon emerged seconds after. She peered through the books to see her stranger. The only thing she could see was black hair and glowing purple eyes. She quickly left the library after that, with girlish butterflies in her stomach.


Carmella looked at her letter from her parents and she sighed heavily. She began to write back to her parents but it was useless. She crumpled the paper and slammed it against the common room wall. Her parents had stated they could not have her over for Holiday and she was to stay at Hogwarts. And for the first time in a while she didn't want to stay there. She didn't want to talk to Jonathon that day either. But even the thought of him made her happy. She didn't understand why but didn't care.

She hadn't realized she had migrated to the Great Hall until she was there. Fred and George Weasley came bounding up to her.

"Pondwrite! We have been instructed-" Fred started

"To spend time with you over Holiday!" George finished and they began to do a odd sort of jazz hands. She giggled but then stopped when Percy joined there group.

"If they give you any trouble, let me know so I can inform our mother." he said with a quick nod he walked off. George and Fred exchanged looks and then grinned at Carmella.

"So we shall be spending time with you soon!" they exclaimed at the same time then ran after Percy. Probably to aggravate him she supposed.


Jonathon paced throughout the library and frowned. It had been days since he had heard from the girl. He didn't even know her name! He looked through the notebook that he had, it had multiple notes for her but he had no way of getting them to her. He had overheard Fred and George say she was staying over for holiday. But he knew it would be bad to give them the letters. He then got an idea. He smiled as he wrote one last note and bounded up to the front of the library.


Carmella escaped into the library, after several hours of spending time with the twins. She had no idea how they did all the things they did. Or how they had enough energy to do them. She did have to admit that she was having fun but she needed some alone time.

"Miss Pondwrite?" Called Madam Pince, who had a bit of an tone of anger in her voice.

"Yes?"

"I was told you left this, if you would please take it." she set the notebook down and quickly walked off to stop a student from throwing a book onto the wrong shelf. Carmella gawked at the notebook, she had never seen it but she took it anyway. She flipped through pages of notes that were written in flourishing letters. She giggled at the silly things they said. She turned to the last page and it said

"Hi, I know this maybe a shock but I think I may know who you are. Pondwrite? Please send me an owl and let me know." Carmella gapped at the page. She slammed down the notebook and stalked out of the library. She was greeted by George, who was unaccompanied by his brother, he smiled and then noted her look.

"Hey, what's wrong? Are you alright?" he asked

"No, I just don't want anyone to know who I am."

"Why? Oh yeah that Snape thing. Look at me, it doesn't matter what has happened. You control you, and others will soon believe that you aren't crazy."

"I guess."

"By the way, I have something! Fireworks!" Carmella giggled and Fred spotted them down the hall.

"Aww George! You ruined my surprise!" They laughed and most of Holiday worked out that way.
