Aries placed down the glass, "Oh you're studying to be a healer?"

"Healer? I mean technically you could call it that but doctor sounds more professional."

"Oh, I don't know where I got healer from." she said. "Would you not do your band thing, professionally?"

"Nah," he shook his head. "I prefer it being a little side project sort of thing, plus I want to help people when they're sick, what about you? What are you studying?"

"Fine art-"

"Really?" he said, surprised.

"You say that like it's bad." Aries said, slightly offended.

"No, I didn't mean it like that, I just thought you would be studying something else."

"Like what?"

"English literature or something, you're very well spoken. Like you're not from here."

Aries furrowed her brows. "I've grown up in London my entire life."

"No, like you're from some other world, you say healer and all this stuff- you even had a trunk when I first met you." he said, he took a sip of his milkshake. "And you always wear that Darth Vader cape."

"Darth Vader cape? You mean my cloak?"

"Exactly, that cloak you always wear, very much like Darth Vader."

"Who the hell is Darth Vader?"

"From Star Wars- you know it right?"

Aries stayed silent while smiling at him innocently.

"Oh. My. God. You don't know what Star Wars is?"

"It sounds like my family having an argument."

"Luke Skywalker? Princess Leia? Han Solo! You don't know Han Solo!" Leo said face palming. "Right when you get home you need to watch it. I will give you the videotape, it's A new hope, the second film is coming out in May so you need to get prepared."

"Big Star Wars fan then?"

"Huge."

At least she knew she could get him something to do with that.

On the 20th Simon gathered everyone into their very small flat to hand out gifts.

"Oh, a Christmas pudding- I wonder who I got that from." Simon said his voice was full of unenthusiasm, opening the box. Mrs Springet gave him a smile.

"WOW!" Leo shouted excitedly, opening his present, he pulled out two lightsaber drumsticks from the box.

"They look so cool." Simon said with disappointment looking at the present.

Leo glanced at Aries and nodded as a thanks.

She smiled and opened her own present which was a stuffed owl teddy. She looked up and saw Angelika looking down at her nails but glanced up at Aries.

"Thank you, it's a lovely gift."

Maybe there was a chance Angelika was nice, or... someone else had her for secret santa.

Aries awoke to the smell of cinnamon, she opened her eyes and she was in Peter's bedroom, she was staying with the Pettigrew's until christmas eve when the two would spend it at Potter Manor with the others.

Peter stirred next to her, he opened his eyes and smiled. "I love waking up next to you." he brushed aside her hair.

"I miss it too." she said, snuggling her head in his shoulder.
