The Girl Who Fought | h.p |

The Longbottoms

Nova woke up on Christmas Eve morning to th sound of her father (Sirius) shouting the lyrics to "God Rest Ye Merry, Hippogriffs". Nova was alone in her bed seeing as Harry, upon Sirius's heavy insistence (practically slept outside the door), stayed in his room.

"WILL YOU SHUT THE BLOODY HELL UP!" Nova yelled from her room as she dug her face deeper into her pillow. She inhaled the scent of sandalwood cologne. Harry' cologne. 

"DON'T BE A SCROOGE, LION!" Her dad's voice drifted from the other side of her door. "YOU HAVE THIRTY SECONDS TO GET UP BEFORE I DRAG YOU TO BREAKFAST!"

"STOP YELLING!" Remus shouted from the kitchen. 

"YOU'RE YELLING TOO!" Nova, Sirius, Fred, and George shouted in unison. 

Tonk, who was downstairs with a growing baby bump, was starting to get a migraine. 

"FRED YOU WANKER!" Ron's voice sounded from the upstairs bathroom. 

Tonks rubbed her temples. 

"NOO! LET ME SLEEP!" Nova shouted as Sirius flung her over his shoulder, carrying her down the stairs. 

"THE PREGNANT WOMAN SAYS TO SHUT THE BLOODY HELL YOU BEFORE YOU CAN'T BREATHE WITH YOUR LEFT LUNG!" Tonks yelled. 

The house went quiet. Everyone had stopped yelling. A pin could be heard if it dropped. 

"Sorry, Dora!" Nova yelled, but at a quieter volume than before. 

"Sorry, Tonks!" Everyone else shouted. 

Tonks decided to take the apology, ignoring the fact they shouted again. 

Remus hid his laugh as the Weasley twins apparated into the kitchen scaring Hermione, who smacked them with her book in turn (after giving a small shout of course). Ron walked into the room sparing his brothers one wicked glare. Ginny nearly skipped into the room. Harry strolled lazily into the room. 

Sirius walked into the room, but he wasn't alone. 

"Sirius, is there a reason you're carrying our daughter?" Remus asked as he watched his husband effortlessly carry his fifteen-year-old daughter. Her head rested on his shoulder as Sirius held her against his chest. 

"I'm a father. No drama." Sirius stated as he set Nova in her chair and gently resting her head on the table. 

"So . . ." Ron began. "Is no one going to question how she was yelling not even a minute ago to being dead asleep?"

"Shhhh," Nova said softly. "Ronald, I'm sweepy."

Many hid their laughs. 

"Wave chocolate under her nose and she'll wake up," Hermione said as she took a sip from her goblet.

Nova heard from Harry and Ron, who heard for Fred and George that Percy sent his Weasley jumper back. Nova thought it was a horrible mistake. His action left Molly in tears, making Nova hate the prat more. 

Nova began to open her presents as she sat on her bed. 

From Hermione, she got a copy of The Very Large Book of Defense. A malicious grin formed on Nova's face as she flipped through the page. From Ron, she got Honeyduke sweet. From the Twins, she got working prototypes from their shop. From Dobby, she got a painting of. . . well she didn't know. It looked like a bunch of colors, but Nova hung it on her wall anyway. From Tonks, she got a pair of new white converses. From Binky, Nova received fuzzy socks (Nova had gotten her another sundress seeing as Binky loved those things).
