"Harry, Ron, wake UP! IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!" I ran through the portrait hole and up to their dormitory and banged loudly on the door.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5P4q84MGL

"Alright, alright, calm your hippogriffs! We're getting out of bed!" I heard Ron grumble sleepily.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXEQjt4OFd

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0HvwFfkTE
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVnbWZEPg3

"Well hurry up otherwise I'm opening your gifts for you!" I cried merrily.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVO2A1RSIy

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEUKxwiGOb

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.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KC1FsQFIe

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.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHMYgW484g

"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. 332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwoSz9df5w

"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. 332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NuPIanAny

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPP96SuhL6
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmBRpYdmYM

"I take it you like your gift then, Ron?" I said grinning.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdzvBWxrKs

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU33NB42Sog
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdpgWmIcgA

"Like it? I-I-I-I" Ron opened and closed his mouth at a loss for words.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAq3fSwyEx

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZFdCu6HKy

"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.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjNMVrVfyQ

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusBNpy0lHW
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2p5oRvA28

"Thank you!" Ron finally managed to cry out.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs94J0dGIv3

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnGBudo7hq

"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. 332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdibbux3hzG

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. 332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwY9ORZWGR

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p3p9hy393

Harry, Kat, looks like you guys missed something." Ron pointed out as he gestured to two gifts that were left under the tree.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcwHDflMzs

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.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TgxQABhdd

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.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Lq5V3R2w

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCWZl54DbW
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8iSVbRhjy

I blinked. This had belonged to my mother? I touched the Phoenix as my mind raced. Who was she? Somebody out there knew! 332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBZwjPbG7T

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllDcs9KcGY
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBWE3ej5qf

I looked over to tell Harry but he had disappeared.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Ug7YWb5V

"All I can hear is your voice, but I don't see you anywhere!" I kept looking around. This was bizarre.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxiDGohxQc

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAt0BvuIR9
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb0qDWNCEL

"Woah, it must be an invisibility cloak, Harry!" I heard Ron shout.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfi30yd6Qx

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iUI5xl1Id
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLw41yyYRy

"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🙈😅)332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFNsX8FcUL

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMvEstbpFg
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5xC5NJK1o

"Wow, Harry! I wonder who sent it to you! I've heard about them and they aren't cheap!" I stated excitedly.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP6Jd22I1j

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgdI2Cu3M1
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wMGPT2BfQ

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XKHYS2mCx
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIHBmeAujZ

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!332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBeSdYIJ48

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.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL6BU5wscd

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.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5IACXHlfX

"Kat! KAT!" I woke up with a startled yelp as I heard soft incessant knocking on my bedroom door. 332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQcbBB0cA4

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgR7wMDxvQ
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3PzqJ0bH8

I tumbled out of bed and yanked the door open.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo0c4cj0wj

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VVACIXcQQ

"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)332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBEkar4Aze

"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.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39NTlzpqrd

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9jHTxgEaN
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAmxZTnpDJ

"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.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3s0EmHetI

(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😬)332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXM1pP1KA3

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTaDcctn4X
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BEcGQNrNJ

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!332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHYjCUir9I

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. 332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4jRngSD3u

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.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxN1hZbZHS

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH9qgJwScf

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. 332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9H0ca15LX

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6mbHkjFp1
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxcmyORgVj

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)332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHI6t42ePT

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUcBS48nOM
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvthoFSE0h

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. 332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3aPOjWoTD

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB9BMetkht
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY22EVBkGuH

"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.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrE9aauYO0

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVL2FDiQqV
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jz49HNREs

"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.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhEU384lif

332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyli546KSM
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKpau5RtRL

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.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zwB61tMnW

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🙈
