Christmas was soon, and all the girls decided to stay at Hogwarts for the holidays. They were excited for their first Christmas feast. Ellie, Neon and Veronica were sitting outside, even though it was quite cold. They saw Lucy coming toward them. She had an envelope in her hand.
"Hi Lucy! What do you have in your hand?" Ellie asked.
"My aunt sent a letter today." Lucy started.
"What did it say?" Neon prompted.
"She wants me to be with her on Christmas. It's tradition, and she said in the letter that she is lonely. I have to leave today." Lucy said.
"Aww." They all hugged each other.
"I wish I could stay, but I need to go."
"We understand." Veronica comforted.
"I just got a sweet phone for an early Christmas present. I'll take pictures to keep you posted." Ellie announced.
"And there is always owl mail. Don't worry, it will be like you never left." Neon stated.
"Yes, and I won't be gone too long." Lucy hugged everyone and went to her room to pack.
The rest of the girls walked around Hogwarts. They wondered how many students were leaving and how many were staying. As they were discussing this, Annette Curtain passed by them.
"I hate you, Neon" Annette yelled.
"Love me or hate me, it's all an obsession." Neon retorted.
Ellie and Veronica high fived Neon at the same time.
"I am not obsessed with you." Annette blushed. "It's not like I care about your friends, Veronica and Ellie and that friend Lucy who's leaving. And your hot step brother."
"It seems like you know a lot about me, are you sure you're not obsessed?"
"Everybody knows everything about you." Annette snickered.
Neon couldn't argue, she was pretty popular. They left Neon's fan girl to her own rage and they could not help laughing.
"I bet she has no friends." Veronica giggled.
"Yeah, I bet she takes pictures of you when you're not looking." Ellie laughed.
"I hope she doesn't take any from any bad angles." Neon frowned.
"There are no bad angles when it comes to you." Snape said, coming out of nowhere.
They all shivered, as he disappeared into the darkness.
"Woah, that was creepy." Veronica stated.
"Uh-huh." Ellie agreed.
Neon shrugged. "I'm kind of getting used to it."
"Ewwww!" Ellie and Veronica looked disgusted.
"SKAAANKS!"
The girls turned around to see who had uttered that ugly and horrid scream. There, stood Annette Curtain, with three other girls. They were all glaring at them.
"Wait, that's Halda." Veronica pointed.
"And that's Caitlin. And fricken' Ariana." Ellie observed.
They saw that all four girls had their wands out, ready to do some magical spell.
Ellie, Veronica and Neon raised their wands as well.
"We're outnumbered." Veronica seemed worried.
"No you're not." Lucy came up beside her, wand in hand.
They all smiled at each other and nodded. Together, they exclaimed, "Colloportus!"
Caitlin, Ariana, Halda, and Annette fell to the ground.
The girls walked away, and helped Lucy with her luggage.
"I guess you were wrong, Veronica, she does have friends." Ellie pointed out.
"They sure are ugly." Neon made a face.
They went to see Lucy off, and vowed to keep in touch.
