Press space to read here<< Or read here: It was officially Christmas Eve! Bella was so excited she, James, and Jake had decorated the common room with lots of muggle Christmas objects such as tinsel. Bella didn't understand why muggles used fluffy plastic on a string but at least it looked good. When they finally finished they decided to help down in the main hall where they had brought in a huge forest tree and they had covered it in plastic boul bouls of each house's colour, red, blue, green, and yellow. When they walked in it was decorated by fern leaves placed carefully on each table and the ceiling had grey clouds that had warm snow constantly falling on them. When they got to the tree Professor Mcgonnoagal handed them a box of boul bouls each to hang on the tree. Bella walked to her assigned spot she was designated and saw Draco. "Hi Draco," she said. They had gotten closer in the past few days to Jake's horror. He smiled when he saw her. "Hi," he said. "I wouldn't expect you to do this!" she laughed. "It's part of her detention," he said nodding towards Professor McGonogal. Mcgonnogal hated Draco almost as much as Snape hated Bella. Almost. After an hour or so they had all finished hanging the decorations. Griffin dropped a note on the floor next to Bella's feet. It was written in Harriet's neat handwriting. It read: "Dear Bella, I hope you are having a good holiday, but be ready for us to come back soon! love H, J, P x" She then read it aloud to the others and they were all as confused as Bella. There were no timings mentioned or anything but Bella secretly hoped they would be back for Christmas day! As they walked to the common room Draco ran up to Bella "Do you want to walk to breakfast with me tomorrow?" he asked. Bella nodded smiling. After Draco walked off James and Jake turned to her. "You're going to regret that" Jake huffed. Bella shrugged "I guess I'll have to find out." When they got back to the dorm they were welcomed with the sweet smell of fresh suckle pies which were a wizarding delicacy at Christmas. After dinner, Bella said goodnight to the boys but stayed behind. She placed their presents on the fireplace carefully. She took a step back and smiled. Oh how excited she was for Christmas day!
This is what Bella looked like on Christmas Eve<<
