It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

The time has come, many students boarded the train to head home. And (Y/n) is not an exception. Right now the boy was packing his bags as fast as he could. Checking everything that he needed. Leaving behind school materials.


Once he was done, he quickly ran out of his room. Making his way to the Great Hall. Seeing a few students were sitting in random tables, and professor Flitwick was decorating the huge christmas tree.


As much as he'd like to stay here at Hogwarts, his parents wanted him to come back home just for the holiday. (Y/n) looked at the windows, watching the snow fall. Ever since the snow ball incident, he tried his best to not be involved in anymore of that shenanigans. No promises though. He'll probably forget about it in a year or so.


He smiled at the thought and shook his head. Suddenly he heard some smashing noises. He turned to the source of the noice. Turns out it was Ron and Harry playing what seems to be chess. Curious he stood up, along with his bag, walked towards the two. The three greeted each other. "Knight to e5." Harry commanded, and the white knight did as told.


Ron stayed silent for a moment. "Queen to e5." The red queen then moved to the white knight. It stoped in front of the knight, and smashed it into bits. (Y/n)'s eyes widen at the sudden violence. "That's totally barbaric!" All three of the boys turned to face to the messy haired girl. (Y/n) smiled and gave her a wave. "It's wizard's chess." Ron said, he the examined the girl noticing her luggage. "I see you've packed." He commented, smirking slightly at the girl. "And I see you haven't." Hermione retorted. "(Y/N)!"


(Y/n) turned looked pass Hermione, see the three he was waiting for. "We'll I'll see you guys soon, but we have a train to catch." They all waved goodbye. (Y/n) ran towards his friends. "Hey..." he panted, leaning down for a bit. "Sorry for the wait." Kazzandra yawned, covering her mouth as she does. She seemed to be tired. "Yeah, Kazzandra slept in." Finnian explained as he put on his beanie. "Fuck yeah I did." Kazzandra smirked pulling off Finnian's beanie. "Hey- YOU HAVE YOUR OWN BE-". 


Sylvia let out a small chuckle. I smiled at three of them. "Sylv, you seem to be jolly today." I crossed my arms and smiled wider. "It seems like I am." Sylvia smiled back. "Hey love birds, hurry up. Mistress happy pants wants to sleep again." Finnian said as a half-conscious Ravenclaw glued to his side.


Sylvia let out a sarcastic laugh and said "Gross." we then walked out of the Great Hall, and out into the sea of students.

As the four walked out the doors of Hogwarts, the mounted one of the small black boats, and rode with the other Hogwarts students.


Sylvia was staring down at the water with the very same smile she had earlier. And behind Sylvia is Finnian, who had his eyes closed. Kazzandra however, instead of getting her wanted sleep sat quietly while swinging her feet. And  (Y/n), he was humming random Christmas songs.


"It's beginning to look a lot like christmas, everywhere you go~" He mumbled, humming the next part, since he couldn't really remember the words to the song. He then heard giggling behind him. He turned around to see Kazzandra smirking "I can see you don't know the lyrics." she mused, leaning closer to the (h/c) -ette. "Oh har-har Kazz. Sorry I'm not an expert in this kind of thing." He said in a sarcastic tone. Kazzandra let out a laugh "I don't actually know it either.  I'm just happy I'm not the only one."


The two paused for a moment before erupting into laughter once again. "We're both idiots..." they whispered to themselves. "Indeed you are." Finnian grumbled.


"Take a look at the five and ten, it's glistening once again. With candy canes and silver lanes that glow." Sylvia sang, triggering the three's attention. "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Toys in every store, but the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be on your own front door."


the Slytherin suddenly stopped. "What?" she asked with a confuse look. "I didn't knew you knew muggle songs." Finnian said in a shocked tone. "'Knew muggle songs?' I didn't knew you can sing!" Kazzandra exclaimed. "Wow, rude much Kazzandra?" (Y/n) asked lightly pushing the Ravenclaw. Sylvia began to blush, "Stop making it big deal. And Kazzandra, sometimes you just have to shut up." She mumbled as she looked directly at the brunette. "Because, unlike you. I actually have a brain and talent."


Kazzandra shrugged and shook her head. "Touche, my love." Kazzandra chuckles, while leaning back on her seat. "is it too late to un-friend you?" Sylvia inquired, a smile still present on her face. "Yup!"

Once they boarded the train, Kazzandra fell asleep in an instant. Sylvia wrapped a blanket on Kazz, and sat beside her. Finnian sat beside (Y/n), he kept his head down. Thankful that he'll be back home in a matter of hours. And soon he shall be back in his bed underneath the mountains of blankets.


And (Y/n), he's just happy he could finally catch some Z's. For now and for later. He took out his headphones and played some random songs, he then lean onto the window resting his head. Slowly, he began to drift away.


A few minutes passed, everyone in their compartment was asleep. All of a sudden, the door of their compartment opened up. Somebody quietly made their way to (Y/n). The figure stood still for a while. They opened (Y/n)'s bag, and put something in it. And after they did, they quickly walked out. Careful to not wake anyone.


I wonder... what was it this person put in (Y/n)'s bag?

Finally, the Hogwarts express made it to kings cross. Everyone got out  of the train and met with their parents and guardians. "Well guys, it's been great being with you three, but my annoying ass needs some more sleep. I shall see you all next year!" Kazzandra gave her friends a salute, causing everyone of them  to cackle. "Yeah, despite you being you, I'll miss you're troublesome personality." (Y/n) said, giving her a noogie.


"Stop it, (Y/n)!" Kazzandra chuckled as she tried to push away. To which she successfully did. Finnian looked at the Ravenclaw and  smiled. "Aww, is Finnian gonna miss Kazzandwa~?" Sylvia teased, causing Finnian to make a sharp look at Sylvia. "No- I mean yeah... But not in THAT kind of way..." The short boy mumbled, avoiding the two girls' gazes. "I'll miss you too elf man.  But I'm sure Santa is missing an elf." Kazzandra joked, leaning down to Finnian's level.


"You know what Nevermind. I won't miss you." The two stared at each other, Finnian with a blank face and Kazzandra with a smiling one. "Okay... maybe a little bit..." Finnian admitted, crossing his arms and puffing his cheeks. And Kazzandra, she just looked proud of herself.


"Well, since we're doing this I'll just-" Sylvia came closer to the two and gave them a hug. With (Y/n) quickly joining them. They stayed still for a few more seconds. And then they all parted away.


"Well then,  this is goodbye for now." (Y/n) said as the others nodded. "See you next year?" Finnian asked whilst fixing his scarf. "See you next year." The three said in unison.


They gave one final wave, and separated ways. When  (Y/n) found his parents, he was welcomed with a hug from both his parents. On the way to their car, (Y/n) began to tell stories from his stay at Hogwarts. From the time he got sorted in, to his first time seeing Quidditch, to the very recent events of the snowball fight.


"Well you certainly had one hectic time there, just like when me and your mother used to go there." His father smiled at the thought. "Oh (Y/n), by the way. I almost forgot. We're going out on Saturday."


His mother turned around to face her son. "Where to mum?" He asked as he grabbed for his bag. "We've been invited to join a party." His mother explained, stopping a little bit to fix her seat and face the rearview mirror. (Y/n) however was digging through his bag and found a letter. He stared at it, adoring the lettering on the envelop.


Who was this from? What's it about? Why him?


"(Y/n)!"


(Y/n) snapped out of his train of thoughts. And face his parents. "Put  on your seatbelt. Did you even hear what I was saying?" His mother scolded him, and (Y/n) did as told. He fixed his seatbelt and apologized. His mother let out a sigh. "As I was saying the party is being hosted by the Malfoys. I'm sure you know their son, Draco. Right?"


And an instant, everything stopped. 'Great... now I have to see Malfoy again...' (Y/n) simply replied with "Yeah..." and stared back down on the letter at hand. And he smiled, 'then again... he really isn't that bad.'
