Christmas time had finally arrived. Hargrid brought in the giant trees for the Great Hall, and the entire school was decorated. Draco already said goodbye to Hermione as she went home to celebrate Christmas with her parents. If only Draco could do the same.

"Have you heard back from Andromeda yet?" Harry asked him, as he sat down next to Harry and Ron while they were playing a chess game. Draco had written his mothers sister, who was disowned by the family just as he was, hoping to get some sympathy and maybe he wouldn't be completely without family after all.

"Not yet, I'm hoping to soon though." Draco said, watching the chess game. The familiar sound of owls came rushing through, but very few were actually there, due to the lack of people at the school.

Clarus came soaring down to Draco, dropping a letter into his hands. Draco thanked the owl with a bit of food and watched him fly off.

"Hey, its from Andromeda!" Draco pointed out, and gained Harry and Ron's attention.

"Well, whats it say?" Ron tried to snatch the letter out of Draco's hand but Draco had a firm grip on it.

Draco tore open the letter and began to read it:

Dear Draco,

I'm very sorry to hear about your parents. I understand what its like to be ignored by people you love the most. I wish I could say that Narcissa will eventually let you back in, but knowing her, she has already forgotten your name.

You are more than welcome to spend your Holidays and Summers with us, Draco. Even though we have never met, you are family. Ted, Nymphadora and I are ecstatic to finally meet you. I'm sure it's too late to visit us for Christmas, but I promise that we will be there at Platform 9 3/4 when your first year at Hogwarts ends.

Please continue writing, as I have missed 11 years of your life, I would like to make up for it.

Love,

Aunt Dromeda.

A smile had broken out on Draco's face. He had someone after all, he wasn't alone.

"Well, you know you're still welcome at the Weasley house if that doesn't work out!" Ron smiled, and Draco thanked him for his kindness.

"Shouldn't we be getting to the library? Hermione did say we had some research to do..." Draco commented, remember that Nicolas Flamel was still an unknown subject to the group, and the did need information about him and the Sorcerers Stone.

"Always sucking up to her, aren't you Malfoy! Have a crush on her or something?" Ron and Harry laughed as Draco blushed, denying it.

"We will get to the library, don't worry!" Harry assured Draco, and they continued a few more games of chess before heading the the library and doing even more research on Flamel.
