Christmas had finally arrived. The morning of the Holiday, Olivia woke up to presents at the end of her bed.

The twins had got her Canary Creams, which she happily passed on. McGonagall got her ear muffs, and Dumbledore gave her mittens. Mrs. Weasley had knitted her a jumper with a dragon on it this year and sent it along with the usual treats that she had made.

Olivia got up and dressed into her new jumper and headed down to breakfast. When she was walking in, so was Harry and the others. He has a similar dragon jumper like hers only his was green and hers was yellow.

"We match!" Olivia said when she seen him. And of course that meant they had to take a picture together so she could show Mrs Weasley.

After breakfast Olivia hung out with everyone in the lions common room until it was time for lunch. They enjoyed turkey and Christmas pudding. Olivia opened a cracker with Ginny that had a new witches hat in it.

Later the group made its way outside for a snow ball fight. Olivia decided to sit out with Hermione, instead of joining in. They watched as Ron got pelted by Ginny, and that's when Olivia noticed Hermione shivering.

"You can scoot over to me Hermione, ever since the first task I radiate off heat." Olivia said, and Hermione moved closer.

"Ollie you are warm, do you stay like that now?" She asked Olivia

"Sometimes, it's usually when I'm outside that it happens. Not sure why it happens, but so far it's been handy in the winter." Olivia joked.

At 5, they decided to go get ready for the Ball. "Why do you need three hours?" said Ron, but his lack of attention got him a snowball in the side of the head from George. Olivia and Hermione walked away, Ron yelled after them, "Who're you going with?"

Once they had gotten down the corridor, Olivia decided to ask herself, "So who are you going?"

Hermione gave her an odd look, "Don't say anything to the guys, but I'm going with Viktor Krum." She said quietly

"Shut up! Hermione! That's great! Wow I can't wait to see Ron's face when you walk in on his arm." said Olivia shaking her head in disbelief.

They parted ways at the staircase and Olivia went to the barrels. In her dorm, Jo was about to start getting ready herself for the Ball. The girls took their time, and enjoyed just being with each other.

Olivia done her makeup and Jo's. The girls decided to paint their nails before doing their hair. Jo was kind enough to fix Olivias hair which took some time because of her curls.

When it was close to the time that George said he'd meet her outside the barrels, she changed into her dress.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but find it quite comical. She had picked out her dress in the summer with Snape, McGonagall, and Dumbledore. At the time they just thought it was a nice dress but seeing it now, she couldn't help but wonder when Dumbledore handed it to her, did he any suspicions of his own.
