Their was a soft ringing noise echoing off the Ravenclaw girls dormitory. Jasmine groaned and she stretched her arm out and turned off her annoying alarm clock. She continued to close her eyes and snuggle more under her covers. Its was a cold morning and Jasmine could feel goes bumps rise on her arms. As she continued to close her eyes she than remembered that today was the day to go to Hogsmade. Jasmine loved Hogsmade and Zonkos and she didn’t know anyone who didn’t.
Jasmine pulled the covers off of her and she got up from her bed and pulled on some fleece blue sweat pants, white long shelved turtle neck, and light blue hat with a little white in it, and her Ravenclaw scarf. After getting dressed she got out her wand and taped her head and magically her long brown hair was straighten and silky. Jasmine smiled as she looked at herself in the mirror she than applied lip gloss to her lips and some light blue eyes shadow and she was ready to hit the streets of Hogsmade.
Jasmine ran down the stairs of the girl’s dormitories and out of the common room and outside where everyone gathered to head to the hogs head. Jasmine smiled at the younger students and she walked down the streets until she reached the hogs head. She stopped and admired Hogsmade covered in the snow. It was so beautiful! Jasmine smiled and walked down the streets and she could hear the Christmas carols going on and this was just the right place to be at.
Jasmine walked through the streets of Hogsmade and she looked in all directions Even know she had been going to Hogsmade for two years it also fascinated her. Their were little shops everywhere and butterbear and candy and Zonkos Joke shop. Hogsmade was just the place to be at. AS Jasmine walked through the streets and she bump sending her to the ground. Jasmine froze where she was and looked at the girl wide eyed. She wasn’t good at talking with people, being invisible was her thing. "So...... Sorry" Jasmine stuttered very quietly. She helped the girl up and tried to smile at her. “I….. am Jasmine Anderson fifth year Ravenclaw, Wh….. who are you?” Jasmine asked the girl at a whisper. She was wondering if the girl thought she was just to shy to talk too.

Vanessa finished the last part of Carol of the Bells with the small group of carolers she was caroling with. Her eyes adverted to the book in front of her and as the others oo'ed behind her, she sang through loud and clear.
"On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home.
Ding dong ding dong." The ending verse to the wonderful Christmas Carol that was sung to her as a little girl. She could play it on her piano and she remembered when she first completed the song without mistake. Everyone had been so proud of her, everyone that was, except her aunt. Her aunt was extremely jealous of the six year old.
Once again people congratulated her on her great singing abilities and went their seperate ways. Vanessa sighed sorrowfully to herself and gathered her things before she made her way to The Three Broomsticks. The snow was flurring around her, and falling onto her black hair. She could barely see her hand in front of her, none the less the person in front of her who she accidentally ran into. With a soft cry she fell to the ground and laid down in the cold frozen snow. The person helped her up and Vanessa accepted the hand greatfully. She then realized the girl was speaking to her. With a sharp look up, Vanessa realized she had seen her around at times. She smiled warmly and brushed herself off before extending her hand.
"Hi, Jas-jasmine, I'm Va-Vanessa. I'm i-in Huf-Hufflepuff." Vanessa smiled slightly at her stuttering. If it was this one time, she was glad to have a stuttering problem. It was really nothing new at all. She always stuttered when she spoke to someone new. Stuttered a lot if it was a boy, like Kyle. But, everyone else, it was just small stutters. It usually went away after the firsst 5 minutes of talking.

Jasmine was relieved that the girl she bumped into was alright. She was good at that bumping into people like she had just done. She than smiled as the girl heard what she had just said and she stutter as well. "That’s nice to hear I haven’t met a Hufflepuff yet my age." Jasmine said with a bright smile. She seemed to like the girl and she wasn’t being her real nervous self around her. "Do you won’t to go to honeyduckes with me? I need some more candy and maybe after words we can head to the Three Broomsticks for a round of butterbear." Jasmine asked the girl with another bright smile. When she smiled brightly it was her way of saying that she liked the person and that she was there.
Jasmine than brushed off some of the snow off of Vanessa jacket. "You sounded really great singing I sing myself but I am way to shy to sing in front of others." Jasmine said with a sigh. She than grabbed Vanessa hand and continued to walk the streets to Honeyduckes. Even know the girl didn’t say that she wonted to Jasmine always seemed to do that but she really wonted to get to know this girl. As they walked the snowy streets and continued to hear Christmas carols Jasmine smiled and aborted it all in. "Don’t you just love this time of year epically the trip to the enchanted castle as well? Are you going and if so would like to go down the mountains with me and explore the cave?" Jasmine asked the girl letting go of her hand and smiling brightly at her.

Vanessa looked up as Jasmine stopped dragging her off in the direction to Honeydukes. She supposed she could go, they were finished with thier caroling so she did have free time on her hands, but she was so ancy today. She hadn't seen Kyle all day and she needed to speak to him desperately. When Jasmine asked if she was going to the winter trip, Vanessa shook her head slowly.
"N-no, actu-actually I'm as-asking so-someone to co-come home with m-me over the br-break." Vanessa answered with a small smile, thinking of Kyle always made her smile. But, alas she hadn't seen him for about a week now and she really wanted to ask him what he would think of staying with her for the break. She figured he would say yes, but...there was also the option of him declining.
"Y-you said y-you sing? A-are you a sa-saprano? I c-can s-see that." She added quickly, or as quickly as she could with her stuttering, so it wouldn't seem she didn't want to go on the trip with Jasmine. In truth Jasmine seemed pretty cool, she was shy like Vanessa and sang like Vanessa. In a lot of ways she was like Vanessa, and this made Vanessa feel happy that she wasn't the only shy 5th year in the school.

Jasmine looked at the fith year Hufflepuff and smiled brightly at her. "Owe a boy huh? I have a crush as well but way to shy to just go up to him and ask if he would like to come vist my farm house and go horseback riding." Jasmine said nodded her head and stoping where she was. The girl had just asked her if she sang sparno and Jasmine didnt know what she was talking about. "Huh? sorry I dont really know I just sing to a song I like and there I am done." Jasmie said puting her right hand behind her head and looking slightly confused at the girl she felt like singing and wondering what she meant.
"What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock." Jasmine sang strongly and put her hands up in the air as she finshed. "Um sorry I really felt like singing." Jasmine said turning red and walking into Honeydukes and her mouth watered at the sweet treats. "Its time to stock up." Jasmine said going to one side of the store and taking a bag and swoping chocolate frogs into it.

Vanessa narrowed her eyebrows, replaying Jasmine's voice in her head. Jasmine seemed to be an alto, but not a deep one. She could get pretty high that was sure. Vanessa sighed and shrugged, as they entered Honeydukes. She watched as the other girl began to grab candy and Vanessa wanted to sing, rather badly. She opened her mouth and out came,
"Hark! The herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!”<br>Joyful, all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th’angelic host proclaim,
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”"Her yes were closed and her lungs filled with air. But when she realized she was singing, she cut off and looked odwn at her feet rather quickly. She wasn't used to singing like that in front of people. Especially peers. She kept her head down and tried to become invisible, but she knew that would never happen. She bit her lip and kept looking down.

Jasmine listened to Vanessa sing and smiled brightly at her with a twinkle in her eyes. "That sounded great!" Jasmine proclaimed with joy and walked over towards the front desk and took out her money and looked along the walls for other candies. She needed to stock up because if she was to go on this trip she needed the candy to get her through the days. "Can I take five boxes of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, ten Pumpkin Pasties, two Honeyduke's World Famous Chocolate bars and that will be it." Jasmine said to the clerk and paid him and took the white bag and turned to Vanessa and smiled. "Lets head to The Three Broomsticks for a round of butterbear." Jasmine said grabing Vanessa arm lightly and walking out of Honeyduckes snf into the icy cold air.
((Sorry that its short but I am completly drained its not funny.))

Vanessa blushed slightly at Jasmine's compliment and watched the other girl buy some sweets. She noted that Jasmine loved sugar and seemed to stock up on it seasonally. Maybe even monthly. She smiled, as she was reminded of Jordan, but that smile soon turned into a scowl and an air of slight annoyance. Jasmine then grabbed her arm and led her to the Three Broomsticks. Vanessa didn't object. She felt like a warm lucious butterbeer at the moment.
Once they had entered the warm, glorious smelling place Vanessa hung her coat up on the coat rack by the door that was already over flowing with coats. One of which was extremely big. Vanessa smiled and noticed it was Hagrids. She didn't see him in there anywhere so she let the subject drop out of her mind and turned to look at Jasmine. It was Vanessa's turn to lead the way, she grabbed Jasmine's sleeve and pulled her to a booth near the roaring fire. As Vanessa slipped into the seat opposite of the other side, she smiled up at Jasmine.
"It's so cold out there! My nose is practically fallen off!" She exclaimed with delight. Of course, Vanessa had experience real cold before, but this was something new. It was a whole new feeling. Maybe because it was with a new firend, but she wasn't quite sure...it was just something new. Something, grand.

Jasmine smiled at Vanessa remark about how cold it was outside. It was true she felt like her nose was going to fall off as well. Jasmine walked over towards a table and sat down smiling up at vanessa and walked up to the corner and leaned on the wood. "Can I have two Butterbear please." Jasmine said smilng at the person and waited patiently for her rounds of Butterbear. She than reached in her pocket and took out a letter that some one had given her. She open it up and started to read but after she finshed she was shocked. How could this have happen? Katie was in the hospital in a comma! but she was just fine when Jasmine saw her.
Jasmine than noticed the two Butterbears and grabbed them paying the man for them. She walked back to Vanessa table and sat down and handed her her pitcher. she than looked up at Vanessa and tired to smile. "Do you know Katie Davenport?" She asked wondering if her new friend knows her.

Taking the butterbeer, Vanessa sniffed it and took a sip as Jasmine asked if she knew Katie. Of course she knew Katie! The girl was a great muscician!
"Why, yes actually. Why do you ask?" She answered in a question as she took another drink of her butterbeer. She wondered what could be up, something told her it was nothing good and Vanessa wasn't going to like it. Jasmine's eyes gave it away. Katie was hurt. Vanessa sighed and looked down at the table, she had heard rumors about this...and she hoped that was just what it was, rumors. She couldn't bear it if Katie was actually in the hospital in a coma. She never would be able to.
