Welcome back! Unfortunately I ran into a nasty comment. In case you don't know. I unlike Nico am not Italian. All Italian I use is from Google translate because of this. I am trying. If I can read a half assed fiction with horrible grammer. Then you can skip my poor italian. At least I give a shit. Perhaps next time I will use a god damn filler like 'Ravioli, luigi, Pizza, I am not italian"

Harry
It is now nearing Christmas. Harry of course was excited about going to Grimwalds Place. He knew that Nico and Will were coming as well but will be leaving on the 21st to see family. They didn't say much but after the odd way they dodge important questions bugs him. He remembered a couple weeks ago that he had asked what they were doing with Draco, Nico had rolled his eyes and walked away.
Nico was wearing his necklace again. He said it was a gift from his father as he wouldn't be able to make the family celebration. Harry had a strong feeling that it was because Nico's dad was in Azaban by now. Will never comments on Nico's statements anymore but as Harry entered the Great Hall, Nico was taking about Christmas as well.
Nico's gold chain necklace was finally in full view. Despite Nico's seemingly neutral take on religion, a golden Star of David rested on the white button up ' s fabric.
"Will, I was raised by the Jewish calendar. I don't celebrate Christmas." Nico's accent lilting the words as though Nico was forcing each word to sound different.
Will, in response, said, "What about the Solistise? You celebrate that."
Nico hummed in agreement, and said, "That is different. I celebrate the new beginnings. It is not my idea that Christmas is so close to those holidays."
Hermione smiled and sat down across from Nico, "So what do you celebrate? We can celebrate with you."
Nico gave her a long look, "Unless you have the time to find seven presents for Harry and Ron. Not to mention me and Will. One of the presents must be special for the final day. I don't think you will be able to. My dad is helping me with me and Will's after school plans. An apartment in New York."
Will nodded, "The place is a 15 minute walk to the park and a 5 minute taxi ride to the hospital I volunteer at. It is a great place. And it is near a synagogue too. I can get blessed there and join Nico in the services."
Ron looked at Will, "Witch or Muggle hospital?"
Nico laughed, "Human. They take both but the few witches there need help sometimes.
Harry scoffed, "So explain what you are then. You claim to be Jewish but you celebrate pagan things. What gives?"
Nico's eyes flashed with anger, "This is why I didn't want to come back to England. They are still so full of hate for my people."
Nico stood and walked away. Will glared at Harry, "If you had half his bravery then you would be a Great Griffindor but you are a cowardly pussy cat acting everyone who is different. His father is pagan. His dead mother is Jewish. She was killed by hateful people like you. Where does it end? What makes you different then Hilter or Voldemort?"
With that Will left following Nico calling for him.
