Press space to read here<<< Or read here>> A few months passed at Hogwarts and Bella except for potions. Snape still hadn't forgiven her but she got on with it It was almost Christmas at Hogwarts and most students were packing to go home for the holidays but Bella's uncle and Aunt were away so she was staying. Although nearly all of Bella's friend group had offered for her to stay with them she politely declined. She was excited to have nearly all of the castle to herself. Jake and James were staying as their parents were away so she wasn't completely lonely. "Are you sure you don't want to stay with us?" Harriet asked one last time. "Honestly, I'm fine staying here it will be amazing I promise" Bella insisted "Promise?" Jack and Harriet said. "promise" She paused "I'm going to miss you two," she said giving them a hug. "Us too," said Jack picking up her bags. Bella opened the door and followed them out to where Peter, James, and Jake were already waiting. "you are late" Peter joked knowing they were completely on time. They laughed together before waving goodbye. "Bye Bella," said Peter giving her a sideways hug because his hands were full. "See you soon," they said after closing the door. When they had left the ones left sat down on the sofa by the fire. "Peace at last" James laughed "Fancy a game of chess?". A few days soon passed and almost all of Hogwarts was covered in snow. Bella stood waiting in the courtyard for the boys when a snowball came flying into Bella's right temple. She jumped and looked around for the culprit. Soon a tall boy with almost white blonde hair came running around the corner. "Sorry!" he said "Are you alright?" he asked worriedly. Bella brushed herself off "I'm Fine," she said and laughed "Me and my friends had the same idea." Suddenly realization showed on his face, he looked disappointed. "Your Jake's friend right?" she looked at him in his eyes. "Yeah, why?" she said as he sighed sadly. "You can do better than that" "you must be Draco" Draco was Draco Malfoy's cocky son or so Jake had explained. They seemed to have an ongoing rivalry. "Yes-" but before Draco could finish his sentence a snowball hit him in the chest, it was Jake. "Don't waste your time with him" he shouted across the courtyard. "See you around Bella," he said smiling at her before turning around to face Jake. He picked up a snowball and threw it right at Jake's face. Jake wiped his face from the snow and gave Draco a death stare. "You get what you give" Bella laughed at Jake. "he deserved it" Jake huffed. Before Bella could retaliate James threw a snowball at her arm. "oh no you did not" Bella shouted and smiled throwing one right back at him.
