Ophelia woke up on her four poster bed, sprawled out and tangled in bed sheets and duvets with Hermione hovering directly above her, like her spidey-senses had been activated she flung the nearest object at Hermione, who only narrowly dodged Ophelia's foot flying over her head.

"Jesus Phee!"

"What the flying fuck do expect? Hovering over me like the goddamn anti-christ!" Ophelia yelled, sitting up, realising she had fallen asleep in her yule ball dress, she looked like a goddamn hot mess.

"It's Christmas, you need to get up it's nearly 11." Hermione demanded, chucking Ophelia's heels into the trunk with a clunk.

"Alright, alright, give me 10 minutes I need to get changed."

Hermione nodded, going to the door.

"You better be up or I'll start opening your presents," said Hermione before closing it behind her. Ophelia dashed off of the bed and began to take off her dress, tucking it neatly away in it's box before grabbing her largest and biggest oversized sweater, throwing on a pair of leggings and fuzzy socks she ran to the mirror and brushed her teeth, wiping off the remnants of last night's make up before trying to do something with her hair, deciding just to twist it behind her head loosely before she ran out of the dormitory.

"Granger!! You better not have touched my presents you...."

Ophelia stopped herself, her eyes locking with Harry who was waiting for her on the couch arm slung over the back of it as he grinned boyishly at her, positively ecstatic about the revelation that the two of them were now a thing, no not a thing, a couple. Boyfriend and Girlfriend, all of his worries about someone coming to sweep her off her feet were unfounded as she just as eagerly walked over, beaming from ear to ear as she took her seat beside him.

Ophelia pressed their sides together, to make room for Hermione, who had taken a seat on the couch beside her not noticing her best friends honeying up one another without saying a word.

Ron was sat on the floor, handing out the presents, Ron was particularly thankful for a whole Cinnamon Apple cake, with a pack of collectable chuddley cannon cards and jumper from Ophelia, while Hermione admired the handcrafted stained glass earrings Ophelia had bought from Hogsmede, as well as the strawberry shortcakes she had wrapped in delicate paper, while Harry pulled out a flashlight that was a snitch, it floated around the room gracefully providing a little ball of light and would turn off once you caught it, and again a large batch of Harry's favourite treacle tarts. Harry had also been given a gift from Remus, which two books one was labelled "Defensive Magic and it's Origins." with another book called. "The Benefits of Celibacy, How to Resist Temptation." With a great heaping bundle of assorted chocolates.

A note was written inside of the celibacy book, half by Remus and half by Sirius.

"Remus was worried you'll knock up Phee, so here is our attempt to steer that way so our consciences don't come biting at us later.

Actually, as long as she finishes school,  I don't care when she has kids, but please don't rush. I'm only 34... way too young to be called grandad.

Merry Christmas Harry,

Remus and Sirius."

While Ron had gotten Ophelia a big box of honeydukes assorted lollies, and Hermione had gifted her a copy "Beowulf transcribed and illustrated", while Harry had given her a box of rose-flavoured turkish delight, The Legends of King Arthur and his Knights with a bookmark with a few gemstones dangling on a black ribbon. Remus had gifted her a box of her favourite chocolate, a box of her favourite tea and a cool pair of gloves that were black with little silvery-blue waves on them. Sirius on the other hand, had given her a new red leather purse with a gold chain necklace inside, labelled
