The days go by, eventually Yule is about around the corner and everyone is deciding whether or not they are going to stay for the holidays. Even Hagrid is getting in the spirit and setting huge, decorated tress up in the halls, much to Filtches dismay for needing to clean up after the plants. 

"So, Harry what are you going to do?" Ron asks as they play chess in the common room. 

Harry shrugs, "I think me, and Severus are just going to stay here, not really much different than if we did go, at least staying here there'd be more than just the two of us."

Ron nods. "Well then I'll stay to. I didn't really want to go home all that much any way."

"You don't have to Ron." 

He shakes his head, "No me and Hermione already decided, if you are staying then so are we."

Harry grins a little. "Well, I really appreciate it. Thank you."

Ron smiles and he takes Harry's queen as Hermione comes down to watch the pieces break each other. "That game is horrid." She says as she sits next to Harry.

"Hello Hermione, so we are all staying for the holidays?" Harry tells her.

Hermione nods. "Yes, that'll be wonderful. Hogwarts is so beautiful with all the snow."

Harry nods in agreement. "It really is beautiful this time of year."

"Are you getting Severus anything?" Hermione asks. 

"We don't really get each other anything. Severus seems to not want anything, and i get everything i want throughout the year." Harry explains. 

Hermione and Ron nod. "Well, we would like to get you and Severus something."

Harry shrugs. "I got stuff for you guys, but you dont need to get me anything."

Ron and Hermione drop it and figure theyll just get Harry and Severus somthing any way.

Speaking of the devil Severus walks in and goes over to Harry looking at the bord. "You lost."

"Yes i did and?" Harry says pouting.

Severus shrugs and Hermione says, "Severus is there anything you want for Youl?"

"No thank you Miss Granger. Im not really big on Holidays." Severus tells her.

Harry rolls his eyes as he resets up the bord. "Really guys you dont need to get us anything."

When the christmas day comes around Ron shakes Harry awake, which in turn causes Ron to get roughly shoved away and the curtains closed on him. "Ron privacy!" He snapes as he grabs the eyepatch and puts it on.

"Sorry mate forgot. Just excited."

Harry rolls his eyes as he gets dressed on the bed the curtains still closed. "Just dont do that again. Understand?"

Ron frowns. "Yeah, sorry."

Harry takes a deep breath. "Its fine. Sorry for snaping." He says and opens the curtains.

Ron grins. "Happy christmas Harry."

"Happy christmas. Lets go see what you and Hermione got." Harry says and follows Ron down to the common room were Hermione is waiting paitiantly.

Severus walks in and stands by Harry while he watches his friends open presents. Ron even hands him a few that him Hermione and his parnts got for Harru. Theu even made Severus a sweater and  Ron and Hermione got Severus books, while Harry mostly got candy and a sweater.

"Thats weird. Here Harry. There is no name on who its from." Ron says reaching behind the tree and giving Harry a present.

Harry stops arguing with Severus about it being to early to eat candy and takes it. He opens it standing up as a silver cloth falls from the paper. Harry frowns and wrapts it around his shoulders.

"A cloak of invisibility?" Severus says amazed that some unknown person gave it to Harry. Also wondering why it has the feel of a reaper to it. A reaper didnt give that to Harry, the aura of the reaper is to faded.

Harry looks down seeing he is in fact invisable. "This is amazing." Harry says excitedly. 

"Hey now you can sneak into the girls bathroom." Ron says laughing a little.

Harry frowns. "Why would i do that?"

Ron looks at Harry confused. Then he just shrugs. "Thats just what most boys would do."

Harry looks at Severus who shrugs. Severus beings a demon dosnt have the same human urges as all of that. The only time hed take part in such things is if hes trying to get somthing in return. So he couldnt vary well explain to Harry why a boy would want that or any of the other... hormonal things... hopefully hed never ask.

Harry goes to put the candy, cloak, and sweater in his trunk still wondering who gave it to him.

They head to breakfast and Harry looks around still amazed at how wonderful of a job Hagrid did decorating the castle.

"Im still a little disappointed Draco didnt stay." Harry says glancing at the slythrin table.

"Yeah. Hate to say ut but I think hes my friend." Ron mumbles begrudgingly.

"Just because your parents hate his family dosnt mean you need to."

Ron nods. "Yeah i know. Just. Strange to think is all."

That night Harry decides to take the cloak fot a walk. He drapes it over himself and sneaks out. Hopeing to not run into Severus.

Though he sees Quirll walking around mumbling to himself.

Then he freezes as Ms. Norris stares at him. Can cats see through the cloak?

"Do you see a student Norris?" He hears Filch ask around the corner.

So Harry runs into the nearest room he can find. He freezes when he sees a Mirror at the other end.

He takes the cloak off and stands infront. Seeing his parents.
