A Christmas Threat

It was Christmas. Ashlynn woke up late about lunch time. Rubbing her eyes, she stood. But she stumbled. A box was on the floor of her bed.

'Was it another joke? What could this be?'

Carefully, Ashlynn opened the box prepared for anything. But the box contained nothing but a piece of card and a sweater??

Ashlynn started reading the card. It was from Ms. Weasely. She had sent a letter to Ashlynn. She opened the sweater. It was dark green and it had a big silver 'A' on the front.

Ashlynn smiled. It was a nice surprise. She had never gotten a gift or a card from anyone. SHe certainly hadn't expected this year as well. She was… touched. SHe even got jealous of Ron and the other Weasleys. What would it be like to have a real family? She promised to herself that she would repay Ms. Weasley one day.

Ashlynn's Christmas wasn't that special. She spent her day in the Common room flipping through her potions textbooks. (She had already finished her 5th year potions book. ) She also went for a walk on the snowy ground. But that didn't turn out so well when she got fit by a snowball. They will pay sooner or later…

Even Though her Christmas wasn't too special like others, she enjoyed it. A actual real gift from Ms. Wealsley and spending it in Hogwarts and not with the Dursleys were good enough.

Later that day, she went down to the hall and ate a Christmas feast. It was quite delicious. She was annoyed however when she saw her so-called brother. Apparently, he had gotten some kind of cloak from his parents. Ashlynn had chosen a seat far from the Potter and the Weasley but still, she could hear Harry's annoying voice. And soon enough, he came over.

"So, what did YOU get?"

"..."

"Are You ignoring me?!"

"Come On, mate. SHe probably didn't even get one." Ron chimed in.

"Actually Ron, your MOTHER has given me a sweater. It was very nice of her."

Ron and Harry looked at each other shocked. Ron, who had lost his words, stumped away. Harry was more determined to annoy Ashlynn.

"Didn't get anything from my- I mean your parents?"

"If you came here to brag about your cloak, you should leave."

"Or else what??"

" Or else, I just might…"

"NOTHING!!! Is it?" Harry sneered. However Ashlynn's face was serious.

"Go to the Gryffindor dorms and go to your room. I would put the silencing charm on the room and curse your roommates to sleep. Then I will wake you after I personally BREAK your wand in two. Then I would probably curse you dead. Then I would bring your body to the lake and deposit it. "

Harry's face got pale.

"Or maybe I should put poison in your food during meals. I wouldn't put everything at once but slowly put it little by little to avoid any suspicions. And in a few months, you will die suddenly. during your sleep or in class. Since I won't be around you during that time, no one will know. And BTW, I would use a special potion in my creation. WHich does not leave any trace in a DEAd body. "

Ashlynn said these words without breathing and Harry looked at her. Horrified.

"I might also use the other 136 ways to kill you that I wrote down in very very detail in one of my notebooks."

Harry stammered.

"136 ways to… KILL ME??"

"Is something wrong?"

Professor Mcgonagal and professor Snape came towards them.

"She's trying to kill me!! She has exactly 136 ways to kill me written in her notebook!!"

Harry shouted pointing at Ashlynn.

"W..What?" Professor Mcgonagall stammered.

However, professor Snape smirked and looked at Ashlynn. WIth a slight smile!

"I don't know what you are talking about Harry." Ashlynn said innocently.

"She just said that she would kill me by coming into my dorm room and silencing the room. Then she said she would cure the others to sleep then break my wand and curse me to death. She told me that she would trash me in the lake!!!" Harry was still screaming.

"Don't forget about poisoning you little by little every meal that you will suddenly die in your sleep or whatever and so I won't look guilty." Ashlynn said quietly.

"What????" Professor Mcgonagall shouted. Professor Snape looked as if he was wondering why he didn't think about that. And considering using it.

"SEE?!? SHe's trying to kill me!!!"

"I'm kidding Harry! WHy would I want to kill my super NICE and FRIENDLY BROTHER?"Ashlynn said sarcastically.

"Still. Those are jokes that shouldn't be made! Three points from SLytherin." Professor Mcgonagall walked away.

"10 points to Slytherin for your creativity, Ash- Ms. Potter." Professor Snape soon followed Professor Mcgonagall.

Ashlynn smiled at Harry very sweetly. And Harry ran away.
