" wait why," Henry asked Logan after hearing her response of Arthur helping her aunt in the kitchen. The twelve year old then went back to brushing Polaris with the soft brush for a while and when he finished or through he did, Henry stepped back and went to drop the brush back into the bag before turning to Logan and smiling at her.

Henry felt the horse shove him with his nose causing the boy to laugh and touch his nose as he spoke " I'm glad I met you Polaris," he then watched as Logan led him back into his stall. Henry would then stepped a bit closer to the stall and smile at Polaris has he placed a hand on the stall door but got distracted when he heard Logan's voice.

" Set something on fire? We probably should go separate them since Art can be a bit to polite to others and will probably take the blame if that happens again," Henry replied with a smile as he looked around the barn one last time and couldn't wait to return as he walked toward the door and held it open for Logan again however this time with a dramatic bow to go with it.

Henry heard her question and thought for a minute since Arthur definitely liked animals as well and the two were very close however he sort of matured to and not only moved out but also started acting like a adult which annoyed Henry a bit when he gave home for break. However Henry would then say " maybe, he certainly loved animals but I'm not sure even through he's only 19, he's now acting more mature than usual but it's worth to ask him I guess," Henry also had a feeling that he didn't know how his father was going to react if he asked him since he wasn't much as a parent after his mum died, that was when Arthur stepped in has almost a parent figure.

A smile formed on Logan's face at the thought of someone taking the blame for the burnt food. "Trust me, your family might be the only ones to believe that he was the one that did it. There is a reason we have a house elf," Logan laughed a bit as she pulled her hair down from the ponytail and spun in a circle as the snow fell around her. "My aunt has been burning food for longer then we have been around."

The Hufflepuff smiled as she started to make her way back to the house. She assumed that dinner was not ready yet, as they would have sent someone to get the two of them by now if it had been finished. "I think I can convince him. I can be very influential when I want to be." Logan spun around and walked in front of Henry, walking backwards along the path while attempting to not fall over.

Deciding to take their minds off of their family, she decided to talk about something completely random instead. "What is your favorite food to eat on Christmas? It can be anything, you just have to like it. Personally, my favorite food is either Clootie Dumpling or Shortbreads. I honestly cannot decided between the two of them." Quickly spinning around again, Logan wrapped her arm in Henry's and began to swing it back and forth as they walked along. "So what is your favorite Christmas food?" Logan asked again like a small hyper child. She wanted to keep her guest as happy as possible.

Henry laughed a little when she heard Logan spoke then stated to think of their house elf, he knew that his father had one as a child but he never gotten the experience to have. His mum was against owning a house elf and much to his father's disagreement the never owed one which made Henry feel left out in a way among pureblood families but another part of him didn't care.

" I said he'll take the blame not that my family will believe him, he has been taking the blame for things for a long time to," Henry spoke as he started to walk back toward the house but not long did he turn back toward the barn and call for his cat, " Loki, come here boy," not seeing his cat and knowing that he was probably following Sherlock around to find food or cause mischief Henry turned back toward Logan as he spoke " Sherlock knows his way back and has a cat door right?"

Henry was a bit worried for his cat but watched as Logan stayed walking backward causing the boy to laugh a bit as he spoke " yeah robin really persuasive," he then thought of the times he fell out of all those trees as he spoke again " just don't fall, I'm the one whose suppose to be clumsy not you," Henry laughed a bit as he listened to Logan talk about Christmas food before linking arms with and feeling her swing them back and forth.

" Those are good choices but I think I have to say either mince pies or cranberry sauce their both good to me I guess," Henry spoke still keeping his arm linked with Logan's he spoke again " what about what was your favorite Christmas gift ever? Mine has to be when I was six and my brother got me this muggle camera that I still use and love or when I was nine and he got me a amazing photo album that I have to show you Robin," Henry smiled at her as he was glad that he was there instead of spending Christmas alone with probably just his twin and maybe his brother.

"Sherlock has a door he can go through into the house, He may decide to go through one of the windows though, as we normally keep the kitchen window open when Aunt Hannah is cooking." Logan giggled a bit as she spun around in a circle before running back to Henry. She could remember the last time she had fallen, as it had been the day before, but she wasn't going to mention that to the boy or he would never let it go. "If you must know, I do not fall that often," She made sure not to say she never fell because that would be a complete lie.

Logan scrunched her face up at the mention of cranberry sauce. It was not something she enjoyed eating, but she would if she had too. She normally never had to eat it though, so that wasn't much of an issue. "Favorite Christmas present," Logan muttered to herself after Henry asked. Did she have a favorite Christmas present? She couldn't really think of anything, but then she remember when she was six. "The Christmas when I was six, that is when my parents brought Jupiter home. Apparently he was a present from my mother's family or something. I wasn't allowed to meet them though, they went and got him and brought him here instead." She could remember when waking up to find her aunt at the house instead of her parents. She was so excited when her parents got home to see she now had a horse of her own. It made her extremely happy.

They were almost to the house which caused Logan to frown. "I am going to have to change quickly once we get inside. I don't think my aunt would appreciate me eating Christmas dinner in my riding clothes," she muttered as she looked down at her vest and breeches. Her aunt had made a dress for her to wear anyway, so it wasn't like she was going to be spending a long time trying to find a different outfit.

Henry listened to Logan and was reassured since Loki was following Sherlock then he should probably he alright as he spoke " that good and I'm sure Loki prefers the window to since he loves heights," remembering how the cat spends most day in the branches of trees while Henry reads below them. Henry watched as Logan ran around him before coming back next to him allowing Henry to throw his arm around her shoulders as he spoke " often? So you do fall?" Then speaking quite dramatic Henry continued " how dare you judge me for falling when you do also, my lady Baird."

Henry laughed a bit as he kept his arm around her shoulders as they continued walking toward the house. Henry listened to Logan talk about her favorite Christmas present and he smiled as he replied " that nice robin," Henry looked at her seriously for a moment before leaving his arm around her shoulders and nearing nearing house to hear Logan's words.

Henry looked down at his outfit and hoped that Logan was going to wear that for dinner since he really didn't want change but if she was then he should to since he didn't want to be the odd one out nor have his father question him later. Henry removed his arm from Logan's shoulders as he spoke " mind if I joined you, I brought some clothes that Arthur gave me beforehand just in case and I think I want to change now to," Henry gave Logan pleading eyes to let him come with her to her room.

When Henry asked if he could come along, Logan nodded her head. "Yeah, sure," she said as they reached the door of the house. She moved away from Henry's arm and knelt down, unzipped her boots and removed them. "Aunt Hannah doesn't like when my shoes scuff the floor." She told him as she opened the door to the house and walked in. She pointed to a set of stairs to her left as she closed the door behind.

"I will wait here while you go and grab your clothes. I might as well show you the top floor while we are up there." She told the boy with a smile on her face. She would have headed up before Henry, but she didn't want to make him try and find her room on his own. It was hard enough as it was, let alone when you had never been in the house before.

Before Logan could say anything else though, she heard a yell from the kitchen. "SHERLOCK, YOU GET AWAY FROM THAT TURKEY THIS INSTANT!" The young Hufflepuff laughed as the sound of her aunt screaming at the cat, who most likely attempted to get a piece of turkey. It wouldn't be the first time the cat had taken food while it was being cooked.

"Ignore them, Sherlock knows how to get away. But on that note, you may want to hurry up." Logan told Henry to keep his mind at ease, but get him to move a little faster.

Henry gave Logan a side when she agreed before taking his arms off her as he watched her kneel down to take off her shoes which allowed Henry to ask " should I take off my shoes to? Do you guys normally don't wear shoes in your houses?" Henry got a bit worried now as he felt his anxiety rise and ran a hand through his hair in attempt to calm himself as he stepped through the door and inside Logan's house after her.

Henry turned back to close the door for Logan before looking around again for his orange cat, remembering shortly after that he was with Sherlock and hopefully fine well safe since Henry had the feeling that the two cats may be causing trouble somewhere. Henry looked toward Logan when he heard her and smiled before replying, " I already them, Arthur charmed them to fold up small enough to fit in my jacket pocket until I take them out of course," Henry pulled on the ends of his jacket as a way to ease his nervous as he remembered that Arthur would be simply waving his wand to change into something more proper while he would still have to physical change.

Henry heard a voice from the kitchen and jumped as he hoped that Loki was still safe before nodding toward Logan as he spoke " alright then and what's on the top floor anyway?" The twelve year old then would followed her up the stairs as quietly as he could.

When Henry said he already had his clothes with him, she froze slightly. She completely forgot that some people were able to use their magic outside of school. "Oh, well then follow me to Wonderland," Logan said happily as she took off up the stairs. Her feet made almost no sound on the hardwood floors, although she slid into the wall once she got to the top.

Logan sat on the floor laughing at the fact she had told Henry she almost never fell, and here she was sitting on the floor after running into a wall. "Welcome to Wonderland," Logan said dramatically as she held her hands out on either side of her to reveal a rather empty hallway. On the left side of the hall were three doors and on the right one. A bookshelf leaned against one wall and another set of stairs could be seen on the opposite end of the hall.

Pulling herself up, Logan dusted herself off and picked her boots off the floor where she had dropped them. "That is the attic space, that is my room, then the dance studio, and the door on the right is the bathroom," Logan pointed out as she took a step towards her room. She decided that she wasn't going to wear the dress her aunt made for her during dinner, because if they did end up going out for a ride afterwards, she didn't want to have to come the whole way back up here to change.

"You can change in there," Logan said as she opened her bedroom door, "Then just knock before coming in. I have a walk in closet so don't worry, just a warning is nice." The Hufflepuff informed him before walking into her room. She left the door slightly opened before tossing her boots onto her bed and walking into her closet, closing the door behind her.

"What to wear," she muttered as she pushed some clothes around the shelves before coming across a sweater she had gotten the year before. "Perfect," she muttered as she changed into the sweater, a pair of black skinny jeans, and matching black flats.

Henry looked at for a second as he questioned " wonderland? Why is it called that?" Before be would follow Logan up the stairs as quietly as he could manage with trainers or sneakers. However when they reach the top, Henry watched as Logan lost her footing and slid directly into the wall causing him to lightly chuckle as he held out his hand to help her up, " what was that about never falling Robin," Henry spoke and holding out his hand to help her up he continued while laughing a little," I will never let you forget this."

Watching her hands go out to her sides and with her welcome, Henry looked around to see the three doors on the side to the bookshelf that the boy might have inched closer to so he could see the titles before looking at the stairs leading to the attic.

" Looks like the gateway to Narnia to me, why is even called wonderland," Henry spoke as he smiled toward his best friend. Before looking at each place she pointed out and nodded to acknowledge them, even through he wondered where the others rooms were or how many rooms the house had, Henry however just nodded toward Logan as he spoke " alright, got it," watching as she went into the bedroom that she said was hers.

Henry then looked at the one where she said was the bathroom and approached it before placing his hand in the knob and opening it before stepping inside. Henry looked around a bit before shutting the door and taking the blue folded up sweater from his jacket pocket that his older brother enchanted to stay small for the time being.

He then unfolded it to reveal a normal shirt before changing his grey shirt and faded greenish jacket into the blue sweater. Picking up and lightly folding his grey shirt and greenish jacket as he opened the bathroom door and exited the room as he shut it once he left before approaching Logan's bedroom.

He would rise his hand to the door and knock before speaking " can I come in?"

At hearing Henry knock, Logan called out as she exited her closet and walked towards a table and mirror in the corner of the room. "Come on in Charm," she called out as she put a bit of lipstick on to match her sweater. "Welcome to Wonderland, because we are all mad here," Logan remembered when it gained the name of Wonderland over the summer, the arguing between her and Elsian fresh in her mind. She hadn't really talked to the boy this year, as everyone had been busy.

"I have been told I am a bit crazy, like the Mad Hatter," Logan told Henry as she turned around and grabbed a book off a shelf beside the table. The books on the shelf ranged anywhere from Alice in Wonderland and Narnia to books on Astronomy, Potions, and Healing. These were only her favorite of the books though, as the rest were in the library. The young Hufflepuff walked over to the boy with a smile on her face as she held the book out to the boy. It was an old copy of Alice in Wonderland and it just happened to be one of her favorite books. She had a second copy of it in her dorm at Hogwarts so she always had an opportunity to read it.

It wasn't only her strange personality that had gotten the third floor of the manor the strange nickname. It felt like you were walking into a completely different world once you got to this floor. Logan had made it her own since no one else had a room up here, and it had almost become like you were going through a rabbit hole into a magical land. "Have you ever realized how similar the tales of Narnia and Wonderland are?" Logan questioned as she looked at Henry with a dorky grin on her face.
