Chapter 19 - The Bertie Botts Every Flavout Test

It was the last day before the Christmas holidays, and the students and teachers of Hogwarts alike were frantically finishing packing, or trying to stay out of every one's way if they were staying at Hogwarts over Christmas.

Larissa has packed a few days in advance, and was just putting the last things in her case, like her toothbrush and night clothes. Snowbelle was asleep in her cage, and Larissa was excited to go home, (it was Christmas, who wouldn't be excited?). Remus was probably already at 12 Grimmauled Place, and Harry would be coming with Larissa back home for the holidays too.

Larissa took her trunk down to the common room and put it with all of the other Gryffindor third year trunks, all of which would be magically transported to the Hogwarts express about ten minuets before they left Hogwarts. She then went back up to their dorm and picked up Snowbelle's cage carefully, trying not to wake her sleeping cat. Larissa put that on her trunk, and went up to the boys dorms.

'You guys finished yet?' She asked, standing in the doorway looking at Will and Matthew.

'Nearly,' Matthew said

'Almost,' Will said. Larissa walked to the Gryffindor fifth year dormitory and went over and sat on Harry's bed.

'Done yet?' She asked looking in Harry's trunk at his crumpled up clothes. 'Honestly Harry, you should fold your clothes, and you Ron.' She added, going over to Ron's bed.

Ron shooed her away, and she went to stand by the door. 'You guys better get finished soon, we'll have to leave in a while.' And with that, she turned on her heel and walked out.

Larissa walked around outside for a while before it started mildly snowing. She walked for a bit longer, before deciding that it was much too cold and heading back to the castle.

Every one was gathering in the Great Hall, preparing to be led to the Hogsmeade trian station where they would board the Hogwarts Express and go back home.

She joined her friends, and they chatted for about five minuets and then the teachers came in.

'I hope you all had an enjoyable term, and I wish you all a very happy Christmas.' Dumbledore said, they were then led by the teachers to the Hogsmeade station.

'Anything off the trolly dears?' The lady with the sweet trolly came round to their compartment,

'A chocolate frog, and a pack of Bertie Botts please,' Larissa said. She went to sit down, while the others bought sweets too.

'Right,' Larissa said, opening the pack of beans onto the pull out table. 'Lets play, the Bertie Botts Every Flavour Test game.'

'Okay,' Ron said, Harry covered up Ron's eyes, and then with out looking he took a purple bean from the pile. 'Grape,'

Hermione covered her eyes and picked a grey bean and winced as she put it onto her tongue 'Pepper,'

Larissa covered Harry's eyes with her hands and Harry took a dark green bean. 'Watermelon,' he said, as Larissa took her hands off of his face.

Larissa, with her eyes covered, managed to pick one of the exact same colour as Harry's, but it was a completely different flavour 'Spinage,'

The game proceeded like this until everyone had had at least four turns, and the pile of beans was steadily decreasing in size.

The Hogwarts Express came to a hault, and the passengers stood up in excitment. They were all anticipating seeing their families,

Larissa stepped off of the train quickly followed by Harry, Ron, Hermione, Amelia, Catherine, Emily, Will, and Matthew. She looked around the platform for her parents, and saw Remus there smiling at her. She grinned and ran to hug him, she got a few funny looks from people who had known Remus as Professor Lupin. She then saw Sirius and Bella and went to hug her parents. She looked back at Remus, who was awkwardly having conversations, with some students that be used to teach.

Larissa went back up to the train, ans saw her friends who had jusy come back from greeting their families, and collected her trunk and Snowbelle. She hugged and said good bye to her friends.

She went back to her parents, and they let Remus suffer for a bit longer, before Larissa went to relieve him.

'Come pn Remus, we really should be going,' Larissa took Remus' hand ans he gave her a greatful look.

'I thought you'd never come,' He said, before they ran through the wall and got into the car and drove home to 12 Grimmauled Place.
