on christmas morning, marina was woken up my both hayden and laura jumping on her bed, yelling, "it's christmas! it's christmas!"
marina groaned and shoved her head into her pillow. "five more minutes." she grumbled. hayden and laura glanced at each other, before promptly pushing marina off her bed and onto the hard floor.
"prats!" marina yelped as her body hit the floor. "it's christmas, sleeping beauty!" laura said, walking over to the other side of the bed to help marina up.
"that's the reason you should let me sleep, and not push me off the bed." marina muttered as laura grabbed her arm and hoisted her up. "i hate you both." she said, making the two others laugh. "you know you love us!" hayden sang as she skipped over to her pile of presents.
marina rubbed her eyes before looking at her own, rather large, stack of presents. she bent down and examined her they were from before opening them.
she got three presents from her parents, one from stella, one from hayden, one from laura, one from amelia, one from charity, and one from lily, marlene, alice, dorcas, and mary. marina just assumed they bought her something combined and gave it to her. to be honest, marina didn't expect a present from any of them, for they had just met. that didn't stop her from getting them all something from zonko's.
"my dress is here!" laura said happily, pulling out a gown from one of the many parcels in front of her bed. the dress was beautiful. it was black, had long sleeves, off the shoulder, and had a flower design going down the top and the sleeves.
"that is so pretty!" marina said. she was fully awake now. "oh my! look at mine!" hayden said, as she too pulled out a gown. it too was off the shoulder, but gold and short sleeves. right in the stomach there was a black tie, and there were starry designs all over it.
"i was going to pull mine out last, but now i'm just curious." marina said, searching the gifts until she found the one from her parents. there were a couple, but it was pretty obvious which one was the dress. she felt laura and hayden's eyes burning into her back as she pulled out the dress, and a gasp escaped her lips.
it was blue, with mesh short sleeves, and off the shoulder, just like hayden's and laura's. the blue got lighter as the dress got lower, on there were gold stars trailing the skirt. "that's a marina dress if i've ever seen one." hayden said.
after laying her dress on her bed, marina opened the rest of her presents. she got a hand made sweater from her parents, along with an astronomy book. hayden gave her muggle binoculars, laura gave her a pillow shaped like a star, amelia got her a new book, charity got her a planner, like every year, lily and her friends got her a tea cup set, and stella got her a camera, which she used immediately to take a moving picture of laura and hayden having a pillow fight.

the rest of the day was spent roaming around the corridors of hogwarts, marina, hayden, and laura taking advantage of the emptiness. they played tag in the corridors, and hide and seek in the corridor.
