As far as she was concerned, there was nothing special about Cassidy Winters. She's simply a girl who drinks far too much coffee than she would like to admit and reads books to escape her life as an unwanted orphan. Then, when she appears in a world...

Cassidy's POV:
Everybody was wearing new sweaters when we all sat down for Christmas lunch.... everyone except Fleur (it appeared Mrs. Weasley had not wanted to waste one).
Mrs. Weasley herself was sporting a brand-new midnight blue witch's hat glittering with what looked like tiny starlike diamonds, and a spectacular golden necklace as well as a sweater with an 'M' on it.
"Fred and George gave this to me!" she said, pointing to her hat. "Sid made this one for me," she gestured to her own Weasley sweater, tears in her eyes.
"Well, we find we appreciate you more and more, Mum, now we're washing our own socks," said George, waving an airy hand. "Parsnips, Remus?"
"I just thought since you always spend so much time making our sweaters, you must never have one yourself," I said with a smile wearing my own Weasley sweater in crystal blue with a white snowflake upon it.
"I invited dear Tonks to come along today," said Mrs. Weasley, still beaming about her gifts. "But she wouldn't come. Have you spoken to her lately, Remus?"

"Tonks's Patronus has changed its form," Harry told Lupin. "Snape said so anyway. I didn't know that could happen. Why would your Patronus change?"
Lupin took his time chewing his turkey and swallowing. I then spoke, "It can change if you really love someone"
Lupin seemed to choke on air as I said these words making me smirk.
"It looked big, and it had four legs," Harry said as though a lightbulb went off in his brain. He looked over to Lupin. "Hey... it couldn't be y-?"
"Arthur!" said Mrs. Weasley suddenly. She had risen from her chair, her hand was pressed over her heart and she was staring out of the kitchen window. "Oh, Sid you were right-it's Percy!"
"What?!"
Everyone looked around toward the window. I had stood up from my seat just to see through the window, Percy Weasley, striding across the snowy yard, his horn-rimmed glasses glinting in the sunlight right along side-
