The train comes to a stop. Both Kyle and I get out and hug each other.

"Have a nice Christmas, Ken," he says.

I smile.

"Have a happy Hanukkah," I say.

He looks back on his family.

"Wait a second," he says.

He waves them over.

"Kenny, this is my family," he says.

I shake everyone's hand. The little boy and I high five.

"See you soon," I say.

I exit the platform to the busy day on the station. After walking a while, Karen comes in for a hug. I hug her before looking around.

"Where is Kevin?" I ask.

Just then, Kevin comes in sight. I jump up and hug him.

"Hey Ken," he says.

"Nice to see you," I say.

"How's your school?" He asks.

"Awesome! I made lots of friends! Sadly most of them either stayed for Christmas or are going some other route but I like it, it's nice," I say.

Mother comes in sight, I hug her as well.

"Tell me all about it!" Karen says.

We walk to the, pretty shit, car.

"Well... I eh... what do you wanna know?" I ask.

"What is it like? Do you have dragons? Or even more awesome! Leprechauns?" She asks.

"Um... I'm pretty sure there is a dragon but I'm not sure, my best friend, whose really fucking smart, I swear to God you'll never hear anyone smarter in your life, says that it's of course possible but he doesn't think so, oh and there is this boy who is like the kindest kid ever, he's muggleborn and really fucking cool. Oh and Quidditch seems really fun. And to answer, no, sadly, there are no leprechauns," I say.

"Muggle? What's that?" Karen asks.

"Person Who isn't magical," I say.

"So I'm a muggle? And Kevin is too... right?" She asks.

"I don't know, I actually think you seem pretty magical to be honest with you," I say.

She smiles happily.

"But Kevin is, yeah," I say.

Kevin laughs.

"For your information, I much prefer being a muggle to doing some magical shit," he says.

I laugh.

"But we have Quidditch!" I say.

"What's quidditch?" Karen asks.

"A sport! You just try to score while flying your broom and shit," I say.

Karen nods along, happily.

"So it's basically every sport I've played ever?" She asks.

"What do you do? Why do you fly on a broom for every sport?" I ask.

I laugh at my very shit humour.

"Okay, we have a couple of hours to drive," Mother says.

Kevin pulls out uno.

"Wanna play, Karen?" He asks.

After getting all three of us cards, he flips a card to show a red 1. I put a blue one, to which Karen gets three cards, one of which is clearly a blue plus two, as she uses it. After Kevin gets the two cards, I change it to yellow with a plus two. Kevin puts a yellow zero on and I put a yellow direction change.

"It was so awesome I wanted to see you do it over," i say.

He puts the same card but green.

"Sorry but you first," he says.

"Oh fuck off," Karen says as I skip her over.

"No no, young women aren't supposed to curse," I say, imitating one of the professors.

Mother picks up a call.

"Hey dear. Yes, Kenny is in the back. Sure, I'm sure he'd love to talk to you!" Mother says.

I take her phone.

"Hey Dad," I say.

"Hi there Kenny!" He says.

"Nice to hear i'm home for Christmas, ain't it?" I ask.

When the last owl I could think of coming, comes, I start opening the letters.

'Hi dude. So, merry Christmas and happy new year! Say, your brother and I play uno. Right? You do play poker? I have been trying to get someone to play poker with me for AGES, I swear to god, nobody plays a good game of poker anymore. Kyle doesn't want to and while I appreciate Baahir for trying to play with me when none of the other Hufflepuffs want to, he is complete shit at poker. I tried to get Wendy into it but she doesn't get the rules and I start getting annoyed. Yeah, have a nice holiday and all, I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to meet up with Wendy right now! Well, I mean, bye.
Stan.'

The owl dropped a small package. Next, the next letter.

'Well, we're going to Tokens this year (you're bound to see the shit side of our family) and I asked Token if you could come (along with your sister, brother and mother.) and he was sure it could be established. If you got a letter from him that means you go invited... which is awesome! Anyway, Gary told me to send his gift (since you never told him your address, you complete and utter ass). I'll be sure to give you a present as well but that's... I'm giving it to you when I come by and you either are at Token's with me or not. My mother told me to also tell you that we are not doing shit this summer and that she'd put my father up for taking you to us for a week or two. Your sister is welcome as well, although I'm pretty sure mother wanted your sister to come for a longer time (I don't know when), so, yeah. That is something. You might have gotten tons of presents this year but I hope you like mine. I took forever to look for it! I mean, hell, it was so hard to find in fact that I cannot say anything but the fact that sometimes I'm damn glad for my Finnish cousins!
Kyle Broflovski.

I laugh and place it down.

"Kenny! Hey, Kenny!" Kevin yells.

I run down the stairs to find an owl. This time I recognise it.

"Jacqueline!" I yell.

Token's family owl lands on my hand.

"Okay now I understand why Token calls you the Queen, you're fancy as shit," I say.

I take the letter, Karen takes it, reads it, gives it to my mother and then passes it to Kevin.

"Sure," Kevin says.
