Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

you. We think that it would only take a bit of work to clean up what ever the Death Eaters did to the
place, especially with Kreacher's help.
Love,
Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione.
Harry ran to the Owlry and sent the letter off with Amor, who quickly flew off, glad to finally have
something to do.
By the end of the day they had a response in the form of Mrs. Weasley's head popping out of the fire
quite unexpectedly, causing Ron to spill a bottle of ink all over his Herbology homework that was due
the next morning. "Harry dear, we're very happy that you offered, but it just wouldn't be right to have
Christmas at Girmmuald Place, it could be dangerous," she said.
"We've thought of that," said Harry. "We talked to Kreacher and he said he had already started to clear
the booby traps away anyway." Harry shot a cautionotory glance at Hermione who had argued heavily
against Kreacher clearing the house, saying they shouldn't take advantage of the elf like that.
Mrs. Weasley looked around at the determined faces staring at her, after a few moments she said,
"Alright, you four can host Christmas at Grimmuald Place this year."
For the next half hour they made plans and arrangements ranging from who was to cook to where
people would sleep. It was decided that Ginny and Hermione would make dinner, with a bit of help
from Mrs. Weasley, and that Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione would be allowed to stay at Grimmuald
Place for the first week of vacation, after which they would go to the Burrow and stay there for the
wedding, which was on the Saturday before they left to go back.
Once Mrs. Weasley was gone Harry called Kreacher.
"Yes master Harry," the elf said when he had appeared.
"Would you please get Grimmuald Place ready for Christmas, the Weasley's and I will be celebrating
there."
Kreacher beamed and bowed at the waste, "Of course master, it will be Kreacher's pleasure. Is there
any thing else master wants of Kreacher?"
"No Kreacher that will be it. And thank you," Harry added quickly before Hermione could say
anything.
The next week was relatively calm. The castle was quiet, a serine snow had started to fall on Tuesday
and it didn't stop. The students could see a steady pillar of gray smoke curling out of Hagrid's chimney,
and the green houses let off yellow steam two or three times a day. The grounds were covered in snow
to the point of Professor Flitwick bewitching large sleds to carry students to the out side classes. In
every classroom there was a fire burning, weather there was a fireplace or not.
All in all, the castle seemed quiet. The teachers seemed happy, the students were even happier, and
even the castle it self seemed to let off a happy feeling.
For the last week of the term a lot of teachers had 'fun' lessons. Professor Flitwick taught all his classes
Christmas themed charms. Professor Molly showed her classes a spell to enclose any object in a
Christmas ornament, although it got a little out of hand in the 7th year class when someone
'accidentally' enclosed a Slytherin in an ornament.
Professor Marc taught his 7th years to 'defend against Santa". He set up a small model of a house and a
flying Santa and told had the students take shots at the sleigh and reindeer with stunning spells as they
flew towards the house. By the time the week was over everybody was ready for break.
