It was Christmas Eve and Peter and I still had not run out of things to do. I went to Hogsmeade to buy presents for him and Maya for three hours, then he went. I had gotten him a box of Hiccough sweets, and a new Quill from Scrivenshaft's because he spilled ink on his old one. I got Maya a Broom Servicing kit from Spintwitches and a box of Pink coconut Ice. I used a roll of wrapping parchment that I found on the floor somewhere in the common room. I label the gifts with my own Quill and place them underneath the tree that adorns the Hufflepuff Common room. Then, I go into my Dormitory and wait for Maya's return. Maya is returning today on Christmas Eve and bringing baked sweets. I sit on my four poster bed. Then, I decide to braid my hair into a crown around my head. I change into my rosy sweater and lie in my bed reading. Finally, I hear the wooden doors to our Dormitory open. Maya walks in carrying her Hogwarts Trunk. As soon as I see her I leap out of my bed and wrap my arms around her.
"Was Peter being a pain?" She asks.
"As much of one as he always is." I reply.
"So yes" She askes. I reply,
"Yes" and she bursts into giggle. I didn't realize how much I missed her laugh until now.
"Peter is buying us gifts." I explain. She nods then says
"Is that his excuse to buy Dungbombs?" I nod then say
"He does it every year. You know, me being a Prefect I should really stop him this year, but the looks on the other Hufflepuff's face when he sets it off in the common room. It is just so perfect and it gets me every year."
"Good for you, Juniper I guess spending all that time with Peter let you live a little." She says.
"Well, one day he did have to drag me out of the library." At this, Maya laughs.
"Of course he did" She says, shaking her head with laughter. Then, we walk down to the Common room where we find Peter busily wrapping his presents. He does not seem to notice us.
"Should we walk away seeing as those are our presents." Maya asks. I shake my head then whisper
"No we should wait to see how long it takes him to realize." Peter was trying to find his Quill to label the gifts and he could not, for it was across the Common room.
"Wingardium Leviosa" Maya whispers. Peter's Ink stained Quill flies towards Peter's head. Then, Maya lowers her wand and it drops in front of Peter. He turns around and sees Maya and I he walks towards us and hugs Maya.
"I had to Drag this one out of the library" he says pointing at me.
"I heard." Maya says. Peter smiles again and shows his dimples. Oh, those Dimples. And, his icicle blue eyes. it now makes sense why most of the fifth Year girls like him. But, for now we are friends. No more than friends I tell myself.

The Christmas Feast at Hogwarts is a magical sight indeed. The feast takes place the night of Christmas Eve and has so much food by the time everyone leaves, they feel as though they could burst. Peter, Maya, and I sat down in our usual places and opened the Wizard Crackers in front of us. Out of mine exploded a box of Coconut ice and a few live mice that Quickly scurried past us. We all enjoyed the feast and there was amazing food. I ate Pot Pies and Treacle Tart and drank rich Hot Chocolate. When the feast was over we were all feeling very full indeed. So, we headed back to the common room. When we in the Common room, we sat on the couch and talked of past Christmases. The Common room was quite empty and we had it to ourselves. As we talked the night wore on, and soon even Peter decided to go to Sleep.

The sky outside was snowy and cold, but inside our Dormitory was toasty warm. After convincing myself, I got out of bed and made my way to the Common room. Not to my surprise, Peter was the only one down. I sit down next to him and we sit next to the fire for a while. Then, he says
"Is Maya asleep?"
"Yes, she has really taken to sleeping in" I say. Since I slept in my crown braid, my hair is kind of frizzy and falling out. I take my hair out of the braid which makes my hair quite Curly. After five minutes I decide that my hair is in the way, so I put it into a bun on the Top of my head. A bang of golden fawn colored hair falls from my bun, To my surprise, Peter lifts his hand up and brushes it away. I blush furiously and he smiles. His hand is warm and when it brushes the side of my ear, it sends sparks through my body. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a speck of green. I look up, a vine type plant is growing from the ceiling. I recognize it immediately from Herbology, It is Mistletoe. I blush, I didn't know that plants could magically grow from the ceiling. But, Peter and I are just friends. Although, if a magical plant can grow from the ceiling, it means it knows something we don't. Does Peter feel the same way as me. When he said the lake was beautiful, was he talking about me? I lean towards Peter and he leans towards me. Our faces are inches apart when we hear footsteps. We both know it means Maya. As if on Cue, we both pull back and move away from each other. Both of us seem to want to keep what is going on private. Maya enters the common room and yawns.
"Am I late. I was just having a dream about mice and Coconut ice when I realized that it was Christmas morning. Didn't mean to intrude. Anyway, onto presents." Maya says sleepily. Maya brought Peter and I shortbread in the shape of Wreaths. They are beautiful and iced perfectly. Maya also got me a Broom Servicing Kit and we laughed together when we found out we had bought each other one. Peter got Maya and I Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans. He got Maya Nosebleed Nougat and gave me a box of Puking Pastilles. It was a good day, there was laughing and Bertie Botts eating and even Skiving Snackbox trying. Definitely a day to remember.
