24- Pure Happiness

Hi readers! Thank you for waiting for this special chapter. This is a long one, so I hope you all love it as much as I do!

Your POV:

As everyone gathered around in the living room, you saw all of the wonderfully wrapped presents sitting under the full Christmas tree. It looked beautiful. There were decorations scattered around the room with the big brightly lit Christmas tree against the wall. There were even little enchanted items zipping around the room, such as a tiny Santa in a sleigh that flew around above your heads.

You sat down on the couch, Ron on one side of you and Hermione on the other. Ginny sat with Harry, and the twins sat with Bill, Charlie, and Percy. Molly entered the living room with a large tray of breakfast for anyone who was hungry. Arthur stepped into the room as well, holding a coffee mug in one hand and a newspaper in the other.

"Happy Christmas everyone!" Molly shouted in a jolly voice as she placed the food on the coffee table that stood between the couches and chairs.

Everyone shouted and cheered back, filling the room with positive energy.

You snuggled into Ron. It seemed as though you both were still quite tired, compared to everyone else.

He yawned, wrapping his hand around your head and guiding it onto his shoulder.

It's like he can read my mind or something, you thought to yourself, almost laughing.

As you lay there with your head on his shoulder, you felt your eyes shutting. Just before you dozed off, Ron said in the gentlest voice, "stay awake darling, we can get some more rest after this, okay?"

You blinked your eyes, trying to keep yourself from falling asleep, and nodded your head.

After everyone had gotten settled, Molly said, "Y/n! Why don't you take the first present dear?"

Me? You thought, immediately sitting up from your comfortable spot on Ron's shoulder.

"Oh, alright," you said in a slightly shy but cheerful voice.

You stood up from your spot on the couch causing Ron's arm to slip from your shoulder. You felt his longing gaze on the back of your head as you left a hole beside him on the couch.

You knelt down beside the tree and dug through the small pile of gifts until you saw one with your name on it. It had dark purple wrapping paper and a gold bow on the top. You didn't see a matching card anywhere so you looked around at everyone else, waiting for some sort of approval to begin unwrapping it.

"Open it!" Fred and George said together, eagerly. They were literally sitting on the edge of their seats, you thought they might fall off.

"Okay!" you said with a giggle.

You began unwrapping the paper until a black box was revealed. You slowly opened the lid, somewhat expecting some sort of prank to explode once you lifted the lid. But nothing happened.

You fully opened the lid and dozens of polaroid pictures came flying out. They rose into the air, forming rows of about 15, each row floating above the next. They stayed magically suspended in the air as you stood up to where you could examine each photo.

You felt yourself become short of breath as you saw that they were all pictures of you and your friends from your trip so far.

Each row had a different category. The top row contained loads of candid-like pictures of you and Ginny from the past few weeks. There was one of you and her hugging on the first day when you had arrived at The Burrow. Another one was a snapshot of the two of you laughing together about some hilarious joke that was told a few nights before. And there was even one of you and her with snowflakes in your hair, high fiving, from the day that you all had had a snowball fight.
