The Lord of Ancient Magic

Chapter 7

Another month would come and go once again and now it was the Christmas holidays where nearly every single student would leave to spend Christmas at home including all of the Slithrin's

as the only 1 left in Slitherin was Harry Potter himself as he had the common room to himself of course before he did Draco had insulted him again this time for having no family to return home too which had Harry almost berate the shit head

but kept his mouth shut as Malfoy wasn't wrong but more importantly that git wasn't going to be here for the rest of the Christmas holiday which was practically a whole month of not having to deal with the Slitherin's and more importantly to Harry it meant Hedwig no longer had to hide in her owl form while in the common room as she can now be in her human form without risk of being caught since Professor Snape was still a thick head and even with Harrys best attempts to excel in his class Snape was still in lame mans terms a jerk towards him

even publicly calling out to the whole class if Harry made any kind of mistake no matter how little it was fortunately due to him being a Slithrin that despite Snapes bullying he never took away house points from him but that certainly didnt stop Snape from taking house points from every other house mostly Griffindor

but that doesn't matter as right now Harry was sleeping in his own bed in the empty and quiet common room as it was Christmas morning but that certainly wasn't a reason for Harry to wake up since it was cold and the Black Lake had practically being frozen over it often lead to the common room getting rather cold or freezing at times which meant Harry would just sleep in under the warm thick blankets

that all beds have been given however Harry wasn't alone as snuggling next to him was his love Hedwig as she was in her human form as the 2 are in a deep embrace their bodys pressed against each other as this was very common has it helped keep them both warmer and it felt nice ontop of that made it rather difficult for Harry to give up

since the holidays are here their wasn't a need to get up and could just lay in which is what Harry and Hedwig did as despite it being Christmas their was no need to be hasty plus Harry knew he doesn't have any physical gifts under the tree and that was perfectly fine with him

as Harry would groan as he woke up with a stretch as his eyes would meet the slowly waking form of Hedwig as her eyes would flutter open as their eyes would stare into each other before a smile is on both of their faces their magic swirling around them like a gentle river as Harry much to his own reluctance would climb out of bed with a stretch and gave Hedwig her privacy to freshen up and get changed as Harry had no fear of Snape comming into the common room since their wasn't a need

and if it was only to insult Harry well its childish even for Snape a complete embarrassment so their was no need for Hedwig to be in her owl form while in the common room as Harry walked into the main common room he would come to a stop as he was passing by the lovely decorated Christmas tree as it had beautiful lights flicking in diffrent colours but what was under the tree that gave Harry pauce it was a gift and with confusion on his face he carefully picked up the parcel as it was most likely accidentally sent here by 1 of the pure breeds family's and if that was the case he would simply put it back as he read who it was for only to catch his own words in his throat no this cant be right it was addressed to

Harry-'Me?'

And Harry would even cast a few spells onto the gift to ensure it wasn't bewitched or enchanted to look like it was for him as Harry would even at times frantically look around the common room while casting revelio to ensure that he was alone before just dropping the package as due to what was inside it wasn't at all fragile as he ran back to his room as the Slitherin's had a multitude of rooms with 3-4 beds in them as he would without a second thought burst into where Hedwig was as she was just adjusting her shirt collar when Harry bursted in a clear panic as Hedwig was quick to go to Harry who rushed to Hedwig and embraced her in a hug
