WHAT? TWO CHAPTERS IN ONE NIGHT? HOW COULD THIS BE? I was so unhappy with the last one I put up that I decided to give you all a bit more and I have to say I'm a lot happier with this one, and I hope you are too. So enjoy my children. (oh and once again we all know that I do not own the harry potter characters or anything like that, it's all Miss. Rowling's')

The next morning started off rough, but that's to be expected when you give a bitch what's coming to her. She lies and makes it out so you're the bad guy.

"It was horrible, I was just minding my own business when that freak Olivia started to harass me. She even had Ginny and Hermione calling me names. I tried to stand up for myself and told her to leave me alone, but then she blasted me with water. The git ruined my favorite jumper!" Parvati was talking to a small group of Gryffindor girls (which included Lavender Brown, something told me I wouldn't be getting along with her at all that year)

"You keep telling lies like that then I won't hesitate to ruin your face as well Patil!" I shouted across the table without looking up from my breakfast. I could hear a few students try and suppress there laughter but other then that no one was really paying attention to my comment, that was until Parvati decided to squeal.

"Did you hear that? She's awful!" she nearly shrieked grabbing a few more students attention.

To say I was on edge that morning was putting it lightly. After me and Hermione's "short" chat last night I couldn't get to sleep. Visions and thoughts of my father danced in and out of my brain, along with remembering the kiss me and Draco had shared and my feelings about the whole situation. And to top it off when I finally did get to sleep I had a terrible dream that me and Draco had been caught kissing so Harry fed me to a dragon. I was well stressed and Parvati wasn't helping anything.

I looked over to the obnoxious girl and saw Lavender rubbing her back and giving me what she must have considered a menacing scowl but it really just looked like she had smelled something really nasty.

"What are you looking at Brown! Do you want me to do the same to you? Although I don't see how I could ruin your face, mother nature had already done a marvelous job at that!" I yelled at her, a bit louder then I had at Parvati. It was barely 8:00 but I was already ready for the day to be over.

She did not enjoy that one bit, but someone at another table did. An echoing laugh erupted from the Slytherin table. I looked over to see my reason for losing sleep cackling with a smile wide on the lips that I felt like punching and kissing at the same time. He was the only one at his table laughing and he was being rather loud, which earned him a few odd looks from his friends. The smile was quickly dropped and the sneer to return to his memorable lips. The looks he was getting from his fellow Slytherins seemed to make him mad so he did the only thing he could think to do.

"Ow!" He smacked a gawking Goyle upside the head.

"What are you looking at?" he spat at the shrinking Slytherin.

"Nothing." was all I heard before I realized that I was staring at that blonde headed bastard. I rapidly looked away from that table and tried to focus on my own (well the half that didn't have Parvati and Lavender on it) I practically stuck my head in my oatmeal to hide my frustrations.

"Olivia are you alright? You seem a bit violent this morning?" Harry asked referring to my earlier threats.

"You mean more violent then usual." Ron looked up from the letter he was reading for a few seconds to poke fun at me.

"I'm fine." Hermione shot me a worried glance because she knew that I was far from fine, but I just shook it off " I just didn't get enough sleep last night. I had an awful dream."

"About what?" Harry asked before taking a sip of his pumpkin juice.

"You fed me to a dragon." I admitted to him, leaving out the reason why he threw me to the fire breathing beast.

"What!" he choked on his juice "Why would I do that?" laughs began to flow from his mouth and it turned up into a smile. Harry's laugh was infectious so we all were laughing In a matter of seconds (well me Harry and Hermione were, Ron was still reading his letter, so he wasn't paying much attention to our conversation)

"Who knows, It's a dream, things don't have to make sense." I smiled for what felt like the first time in years (when really I was happy and smiling with Draco the night before) and it was right then that I decided I wasn't going to keep moping and thinking about the negative things that were being thrown my way. I was going to stop dwelling on my fathers death and be grateful that I was able to learn the truth about magic and everything else. I was going to be happy Olivia and have a fun day with the three greatest people I had ever known.

"My mum is a nutter." Ron spoke up out of nowhere " I swear that woman can be mental sometimes, It's only the second day of classes and she's already sending me letters talking about Christmas." He lamented while shaking the letter in front of our faces.

"Why would she be talking about that?" Hermione spoke for the first time since we entered the great hall.

"She wants to know who's coming this year."

"Well we all know I'll be there." Harry spoke with oatmeal in his mouth.

"Harry don't talk with your mouthful. I won't be going my parents want to go to France again this year." Hermione informed Ron of her plans for the holidays.

"What are you doing for Christmas Olivia?" Ron looked up at me.

"Um… I don't really know. I'll probably just stay here I guess, that's allowed right?" I asked looking back and forth from the three for the answer.

"It is, but why would you stay here. You don't want to see your Mum and Dad?" Ron questioned, unknowingly poking the wound on my heart.

"Her father died a few years back." Harry spoke up for me, giving me a look that said 'I understand the emptiness that comes with that time of year' and he slid his hand on top of mine. Whether it was in a friendly way or more then friends way I didn't care, it was comforting and I needed it.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know." the ginger apologized.

"It's alright Ron." I gave him a small smile before he continued with his questioning.

"But why don't you want to go see your mum?" his question woke up a part of my brain that had been asleep for as long as I had been away 'MY MOTHER! By the stars how could I forget about my own mother? She's probably worried sick about me. To her it must seem like I just disappeared, well add another thing to the growing list of things I have to talk to Dumbledore about." I thought while looking at nothing in particular, but apparently to Ron it looked like I was staring at my oatmeal as if it was a dying kitten.

"Please tell me that your mums not dead too and that I haven't just ruined your morning." he pleaded.

"No she's very much alive…" I snapped back to the real world "It's just that she's all the way in California, so I don't know how I would get there. Plane tickets are expensive ." he just looked at me like I was speaking another language.

"Is that the metal muggle flying thing?" he seemed puzzled. Hermione and I nodded in unison "Why wouldn't you just apparate?" he used a word which I had never heard of before in my life, so I looked to Hermione begging for her to help me.

"She doesn't have a license to apparate." She quickly jumped in saving my ass. 'Thank god I told her everything last night.'

"Did you splinch during your test too? Been there, it was just me eyebrow but professor Twycross still failed me." he frowned which made us all giggle slightly "It's not funny." he huffed. "So why doesn't you mum apparate here and get you, she must miss you after all."

"She's muggle Ron, now what's with the twenty questions?" I joked.

"I thought you said you were pure blooded?" Harry pointed out.

"What?" I hadn't a clue what he was talking about.

"You told me that you told Malfoy that you were a pure blood." he leaned in a bit closer and whispered it into my ear. He was still holding onto my hand so I slid it out from under his and put mind under the table.

"Oh yea, I forgot to tell you, I'm only a half blood." I just shrugged my shoulders and he dropped it.

"Come on you three, we need to get to class." Hermione instructed while lifting herself from her seat. We all followed.

"So wait Olivia, you're going to spend Christmas here all by yourself?" Ron said from my right, Harry was on my left and Hermione was on the other side of Ron.

"Christmas and my birthday depending on how long vacation is."

"It's called a Holiday here not a vacation." Hermione corrected me with a smile.

"I'm so glad I found you, you walking encyclopedia you." I said sarcastically while ruffling her hair.

"Hold on a moment, now you're telling me that you're going to be alone not only on Christmas, but on your birthday as well?" Ron looked at me with disbelief.

"Yes sir. That is what I'm saying."

"Well I won't stand for it, that simply cannot happen. Olivia, you are going to be having a very Weasly Christmas this year." he smiled while putting his arm around me in a brotherly way.

"Really?" You'd let me come and stay with your family?" I was shocked. Apparently me and Ron were already closer then I thought.

"Well I'll have to run it by my mum first but no doubt she'll say yes." he smiled down at me.

"Yea there's no way your mother would leave her here all by her lonesome, she's too nice." Hermione added.

I couldn't help myself. I jumped into his arms and gave him the biggest hug of my life.

"Thank you so much Ron." I whispered into his ear.

"Don't mention it, besides I have two people who I think you'd get along swell with." I released him.

"Fred and George." The three smiled widely as the spoke in unison.
