"Harry, Ron, wake UP! IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!" I ran through the portrait hole and up to their dormitory and banged loudly on the door.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAyiTrF5oz

"Alright, alright, calm your hippogriffs! We're getting out of bed!" I heard Ron grumble sleepily.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qWKsq0pda

"Well hurry up otherwise I'm opening your gifts for you!" I cried merrily.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHggRG3g88

The door burst open as I knew it would and Ron stood there with a shocked expression on his face; as if I'd just stolen Christmas. Hehehe, I'm evil.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22RVCIeYHK

I walked back down the stairs in triumph as the two trailed blearily behind me. I handed each of them their presents and they gave me mine.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEtzQKNsMC

"Oh Harry, it's beautiful! I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT!" I screamed as I hugged Harry! He'd gotten me a beautiful silver charm bracelet with the Hogwarts seal on it. (There will be a new charm each year😜) "Will...will you put in on for me?" I asked blushing like mad. His face turned red as he took my hand in his and attached the bracelet to my wrist. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYtEsoMvzH

"Your gift was wonderful, Kat. I love it to!" He exclaimed. Since him and Ron had been playing a lot of wizards chess lately I had gotten him a nice set of chess pieces for his own (in this story he didn't get the set from the crackers at the feast). They became a solid silver color when playing for the black team, and when white, faded to a clear glass. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcY4GNFD11

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoonDhl4fRx

"I take it you like your gift then, Ron?" I said grinning.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUFhGWuEn9

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4Jce0Ce1w

"Like it? I-I-I-I" Ron opened and closed his mouth at a loss for words.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFMLMCGjPD

"Oh no, Harry, I think I broke Ron," I said playfully. For Ron I had gotten a Chudley Canons beater's club signed by the whole team. When I saw it for sale in one of the Quidditch magazines, I'd known it would be the perfect gift for him.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A27iUA0C3

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgRLZLX5Nx
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5XtUMPod7

"Thank you!" Ron finally managed to cry out.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1DE4N1cW3

"Your welcome Ron! I'm just glad you liked it. I'm so happy I met you guys, and Hermione and everyone else. I couldn't ask for better friends," Harry and Ron just nodded numbly like boys do when girls get all emotional and I rolled my eyes. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuz5V8IZou

We continue to open gifts. There was rock cakes from Hagrid (which we knew better than to eat by now), a large box of assorted treats from Hermione, and from the Weasley's, a beautiful pale blue sweater that matched my eyes. I immediately made a mental note to send Molly Weasley a thank you letter. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNEAmxhgsH

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BFUUsi9Jh
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeR1Tsm4ic

Harry, Kat, looks like you guys missed something." Ron pointed out as he gestured to two gifts that were left under the tree.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEwOLRhs38

I picked up the present and slowly peeled back the golden wrapping paper...and gasped. It was a beautiful silver jewelry box that contained a stunning silver necklace with a Phoenix dangling from it. I looked at it closer and noticed the bird's eyes seemed to be made up of tiny red rubies. It was amazing and I instantly clasped it around my neck. As I did so I noticed a letter half-hidden in the wrapping paper.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS726jnP8h

This necklace belonged to you mother. Before she died, she requested that it be given to you. It was given to her by her mother, and her mother before that. It is high time that it was passed down to you. Happy Christmas.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkrNuwVOQd

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjPgtrG83Q
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTJToQXHq6

I blinked. This had belonged to my mother? I touched the Phoenix as my mind raced. Who was she? Somebody out there knew! 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVDGUVxx1S

I looked over to tell Harry but he had disappeared.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5u2yolOqO

"All I can hear is your voice, but I don't see you anywhere!" I kept looking around. This was bizarre.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLzYIMmfZn

"Woah, it must be an invisibility cloak, Harry!" I heard Ron shout.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszxI6EEihx

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ5WIG3zFx
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjkend3DJv

"Cloak, what cloak? HARRY! There you are!" I screamed as Harry suddenly reappeared right in front of me. He was taking something silvery off his shoulders. (Ok yes I just used silver like a million times just now but it couldn't be helped🙈😅)401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9MiRY1IqX

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy08JDt3Nnj
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpkra5Up1X

"Wow, Harry! I wonder who sent it to you! I've heard about them and they aren't cheap!" I stated excitedly.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BW6h4gK0W

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHUBSJbzTp

We compared notes and discovered that the handwriting in both letters was the same. I really wish I knew who the mysterious gift sender was!401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre89KWmf4R

We spent the afternoon having a massive snowball fight out in the courtyard. I was surprised that even Percy had decided to eventually join in. It was a little after 6 when we finally decided to head back in and we all trooped back up to the Gryffindor common room to dry off and get ready for the Christmas feast.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvFWolnu6R

Once again we all sat at one table and the spread was even more fantastic than the night before. We filled up on 3rds and 4ths before becoming too full to cram anything more down. I trudged slowly off to bed feeling happily content, though still full of questions about my mother and the anonymous gift.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9zVXeoIrN

"Kat! KAT!" I woke up with a startled yelp as I heard soft incessant knocking on my bedroom door. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahLSuMvuCv

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigmy3Vr2lO
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW8N3Y0LW2

"Harry?" I said sleepily. "What's going on?" (I forgot to mention, but she told Harry the password to get into her outer quarters - there's a separate password for her actual bedroom)401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAB8EEajzQ

"I thought we could use the cloak to sneak into the restricted section of the library and look for Nicolas Flamel!" Harry whispered in explanation.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKzVdHc1or

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5UPC7JVFt
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabjpOKDwi0

"Alright, that's actually a great idea!" I said yawning as I slipped some fuzzy slippers onto my feet and closed the door behind me.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq07mDDpKk6

(For the sake of the length of this chapter im going to skip past the part where the two of them go to the library and almost get caught by Filch😬)401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxZBxD69N3

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVjquLfjtJ
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRtOyeFNlx

We closed the door hurriedly and I had another burst of brilliance and used a previously unknown spell to lock the door so that Filch couldn't follow behind. I had to admit, I didn't know where all of this random information and spells came from but they were extremely handy in a pinch!401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8pxP60b5y

Harry pulled the cloak off of our shoulders and we stared around at the empty room we had found ourselves. Well - empty except for a large old mirror that stood in the center of the room. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx5tjuvhKO

We slowly crept up to it and peered into it. I gasped as instead of my reflection, I saw something different. I squinted my eyes as I looked at the scene before me. I older female was sitting on a rocking chair holding what seemed to be a little baby in her arms. As I looked more closely I gasped as my gaze settled upon the necklace that swung from her slender neck. I reached up and touched the same one that hung around my own neck.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3p8HI9H6b

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzWcBgkXi0

The image zoomed in and I took in every detail. She had blond hair that fell past her shoulders, twinkling blue eyes like my own, and was wearing a simple but beautiful, beige dress. As I watched, the lady in the mirror rocked back and forth as she sang to the child. I blinked furiously as I tried to stop the tears from spilling over. Was it really my mom? Do this mirror show the past? I'd always wish that I had a mother to sing me to sleep when I couldn't, or to yell at me to put a sweater on...someone that I could proudly say was related to me. Growing up in an orphanage and watching all the different types of families out there, I knew that blood didn't matter THAT much, but still...it always hit me hard that there was no one out there in the world that I was tied to. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl5v2D64KZ

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a4o1LEnqm
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4Fp50kDL0

I felt a lump rise in my throat as I continued to stare at the mirror and the lady reflected in it that radiated nothing but pure good. Then I realized something. My hair was dark brown not blond! Did that mean that I got my hair from my father? And if so, what else had I gotten from him? And why wasn't he in the picture? (Not to ruin it but hint: the reason he's not in the mirror is because her hearts desire is to see her parents/when she thinks of them she always imagined both being 'good guys' and her father isn't so her hearts desire cannot fully be shown in the mirror)401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eETjGqmNh

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcYaZQb2fL
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkZMIBURL4

I finally managed to rip my eyes away from the image and look at Harry. He was staring at the mirror just as I had and there were tears falling from his eyes. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZWuouVALZ

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz48mZKB8rQ
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgpeO5Ec5v

"Harry, Harry!" I said tugging on his arm and pulling him into a hug. He broke down and sobbed on my shoulder as I ran my fingers through his hair.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyz6dtUXRG

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFGg6VJ5pt
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2fC0Z9UDL

"I-I think we should really get going Harry. I'd hate to get caught at this hour!" I said hesitantly when he'd managed to calm down enough.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3hg5PfpW7

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGwc4ZYlED
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ3M0DKQFH

He looked at me and nodded as he wiped away he tears that had stained my own face. He threw the cloak back over our shoulders and we walked back hand in hand.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU1ZvrEgFX

Gonna do another skip for the sake of length etc so basically they spend the rest of the winter break using the nighttime to go sit in front of the mirror till album catches them and tells them the mirror will shortly be moved to a new location and not to go looking for it etc etc. let me know what you guys thought of this scene!!! Not sure how it went🙈
