"They look so peaceful Arthur, maybe we shouldn't wake them."

"Molly if any of the other kids come in here these two will never live it down."

"Fine fine we'll wake them up but I will make sure that picture doesn't end up in any of the kids' hands."

I started stirring slightly and felt arms around me and looked up to see I was laying on Percy's chest. I shook him awake and we both got out of bed and grabbed all of the presents we had in our rooms and made our way downstairs. I saw Molly motioning for me to follow her into the kitchen and I did.

"Dear, why don't you just date him already."

"It's not that easy Molly. First off, him and I hang out with other friends and I'm worried dating him would upset them. I don't want to cause problems and second off...I'm worried that I may have feelings for someone else but I don't know. Plus, I don't want what happened with my mom and Amos Diggory to happen to me and him." Molly seemed to understand and didn't push any further so we went into the living room and Ginny was ready to open her presents. She opened mine first and I had gotten her a  hair clip that I bought in Spain when I went during the summer. She loved it and Molly seemed astounded.

"My dear where did you get this?"

"A jeweler in Spain had hand made it himself. I immediately thought of Ginny when I saw it." Ginny opened the rest of her presents from her parents and she seemed happy. Fred and George opened their gifts from their parents before getting to mine. I got them both some Muggle pranking gadgets. They loved them and thanked me. Bill and Charlie opened their presents and I had gotten them both a watch from Spain. Percy was next and I was so excited for him to open my present for him. He opened all of the presents from his parents and then I handed him my present. His eyes widened as he opened the box and saw its contents.

"Mirabella, how did you find this?"

"Apparently one of my relatives on my mom's side worked for the Ministry and had it made. I knew how you want to work for the Ministry some day and I figured you'd love it."

"It's perfect. Thank you so much Mirabella." Percy came and hugged me tightly. I hugged him back and when we parted Molly handed me a pile of boxes.

"Here dear, these are from Arthur and me." I opened the first box to reveal a black jumper with an M in yellow.

"Oh my goodness it's even in my house colors, thank you so much." I continued opening the presents and got a new red dress with gold trim, a case for my wand, a camera that takes moving pictures, and finally the picture of my mom and Amos framed. I started tearing up seeing her smiling again. I wiped my face and the twins handed me a box.

"We went in together to get you this. We hope you like it." I open the box to find a ball of yarn and some other cat toys.

"I was wondering when this gift would come from you. Honestly I was thinking it would be a birthday." We all laughed and I continued opening presents. Charlie had gotten me a mini dragon, Bill got me a book on healing spells, and Aunt Liza and Uncle Tim got me a Japanese kimono as well as a Chinese fan and a lucky cat. I looked at Percy and he handed me a little box. I opened it carefully and gasped when I saw what was inside.

"You always wanted to travel the world so I figured you would like it. Open the locket." I opened the locket and inside was the first picture Percy and I ever took together when we were on the Hogwarts express together our first year. I started tearing up and when Molly asked me if I was okay I hugged Percy than I had ever hugged anyone in my life. I was full on sobbing while Percy was rubbing my back. When I finally let go of him he put the necklace on me and it started glowing.

"Perc, what does this mean?"

"It glows in the country you're in. So you can always find out where you are in the world without looking at a map." I smiled at him and I thought we were done with presents until a box came in through the fireplace. Arthur picked it up and handed it to me. I looked at it and saw it was from Cedric. His dad had written a note saying he would like to meet me in Honeydukes during our first weekend back to school and we could talk about my mom. I opened the present and saw a brand new broomstick. I looked at the handle and it had some engraving. 'To the best captain Hufflepuff has seen in quite some time.'  I smiled and thanked everyone for the gifts. We all spent the rest of the day enjoying the quality time and holiday together.
