Presley unwrapped her present and grinned even wider. Pearls. It was just so...Elliot to give someone pearls. "Thank you Elliot. They're beautiful." Presley said sincerely. She didn't doubt for a second that theywere realy pearls. Nothing less would be good enough for either girl.

Presley wanted to hug Elliot, but the other girl might not appreciate the gesture much, so she refrained. "You know, Elliot, I've been thinking. I should just stay at Hogwarts for the holidays. I mean, our fathers do business together. I don't want my father to be angry with your. And I'm sure by summer this will have all blown over, and Leo will let me stay with him." Presley spilled it all out there, not wanting to have to worry about it anymore. Besides, she'd heard that Christmas at the school was a blast anyway. Parties every day, and no little firsties to get in the way. It wouldn't be so bad.
