Alvar's POV
The whole school was glowing, with Christmas just around the corner. The walls of the corridors were hidden behind the decorations of trees, strings of tinsel and bushes of holly and mistletoe.
The majority of the school was due to leave on the train at the end of the week for the holidays. I'll be going back home for the two weeks.
After the twins discovered the map, they've been getting away with more and more mischief, and trying to get me involved also, I've been trying my best to stay away. I feel like being involved in the twins' pranks will just annoy Mcgonagall further.
Whilst keeping my distance from the twins I've grown close to the other girls in my year and spending most of my time with Angelina Johnson
"What are your plans for Christmas Angelina?" I asked whilst leaving the potion classroom
"I'm staying here, my mum wrote to me last week, they're going to the states to visit my grandparents" she explained
"Are you not going to?" I replied
"No, I asked to stay, I'm not too fond of travelling long distances. It's ok though, Cassey is staying too so I won't be on my own." She smiled
We were both heading to the great hall for lunch when we heard small bangs in the next corridor, rounding the corning we noticed Peeves floating along followed by balls of tinsel, dropping and being fired at peoples heads, He was yelling christmas carols incorrectly and blowing raspberries at anyone trying to fight back. We laughed, turning back to go a different route.
"I'm surprised he's not being stopped." Angelina laughed
"The Bloody Baron is probably busy"I grinned

Anyone leaving for christmas was to head to hogsmeade station back to London, Getting to the carriages early, I was one of the first on the train. I took a quiet compartment near the back and settled reading one of my books. I got halfway through a chapter as everyone boarded the train, more and more people were passing the door to the compartment, looking for empty seats.
"Fred, I found her" I heard the voice of one of the Weasley twins and looked up to see George opening the door to the compartment.
"Well then" Fred started "Thought you could escape us?"
"I live in hope" I laughed
George pulled in both of their bags and sank into the seat opposite me
"Can't he carry his own bag?" I asked
"Nope." Fred said smugly
"I lost the bet" George moaned, "What did you put in this thing? Rocks" He said picking up Fred's bag
"Yes. I did, actually." Fred smirked whilst George pulled out a large stone from the bag.
"I'm not going to ask," I grinned.
"So, doing anything over christmas?" Fred asked
"No, as quiet and as dull as usual." I shrugged, "I don't have 32 brothers like you do."
"So it's just you and your mum at christmas?" George asked
"Yeah, same as every year. We don't have anyone else. Both of my parents didn't have siblings, and my grandparents are dead." I explained
"Oh, sorry" George said going quiet
"Don't be, it's ok."
"Hey, maybe you could come around to ours?" Fred jumped up
