Our parents were going the night after Christmas for two days leaving the house all to us. Today is Christmas Eve, meaning we have to get everything in order in time without them knowing."It was so nice meeting you Mrs Diggory thank you for having me." Belle says giving my mum a hug.
"Please honey call me Linda and any time I see why Cedric likes you so much." My mum beams. "I leave you kids to say goodbye." She says walking off.
"So the day after Christmas be here by 5." Cedric says giving her a hug. "I love you." He smiles.
She gives us all our hugs and walks out to apparite home. We walked back in together and plopped on the couch together. Cedric grabbed the remote and turned through a couple of channels until he found the hallmark channel. We sat and watched movies while mum came out and gave us hot chocolate to drink.
"Dinner." She yells from the kitchen. We walk in the dining room and she's setting the last dish down. I take my seat and dig in while we talk about current events and Christmas in a couple of hours.
"You each get to pick one gift from under the tree tonight. Meet in the family room by 8." She smiles. Truly the happiest human ever.
After dinner we headed back to our rooms and put on our yearly family pajamas. This year we all had red long pj pants with white long sleeve T-shirt's that had our initials on the front. She's never put anything with Diggory because she ain't leave Louis out. I cropped my shirt this year hoping she would get mad. I put on my UGG slippers and went downstairs.
On the coffee table she had a tray full of a make your own hot chocolate drink. Louis and Cedric were already seated and talking to my father. When I made it down the stairs we all picked one gift and sat on the couch together. I opened the box to see a GUCCI bag sitting inside. I pulled the bag out and started to open that to reveal another small box with ribbon wrapped around. After getting through all the boxing and wrapped I opened up a beautiful silver ring with flowers carved all around.
"I know you prefer silver even though your house is gold." My mum smiles.
"Thank you." I say putting it on and getting up to hug her. Cedric opened his to reveal a box of limited edition Nike shoes. Louis received a leather wallet with the initials L.H. carved on the outside. We all thanked her again and laid down to watch movies together.
I must of fallen asleep because I woke up the next morning with small glimpses of Louis carrying me to my room. After I woke up I showered and did my routine before throwing my pjs back on to open the rest of our presents.
"Merry Christmas." My dad says in his chair as he reads the news paper. I sit on the couch chatting with my family until Louis and Cedric walk down the stairs around 10:30. Neither of them did there hair and I think they just woke up.
For my presents I got lots of clothes, jewelry, and little things that were on my wishlist I owled to her. Louis and Cedric basically got the same amount of things and we all went to our rooms to put it all away while mum made breakfast.
We were served miniature waffles with whipped cream and strawberries.
"Louis honey you never told us if you have a girlfriend." My dad says.
Louis stops eating and freezes, "I don't." He says taking another bite.
"Good more time for you to focus on academics. And you Camila?" Dad asks
"Nope." I say.
"Though she's taken some interest in Malfoy." Cedric mumbles. My father looks over at me with a surprise, "Lucius's kid?" He asks.
