Love unfolding

Christmas morning.

1999

Saturday December 25th

This morning Ginny woke me up with a cup of hot cocoa, "It's Christmas" she says in a sing song voice, Ginny has always loved Christmas, and she always looks forward to it like a five year old. I think it's so adorable, this year on Christmas we are only Ginny and I, with Hermione, Ron, Harry, Draco and of course Luna and Neville, but Molly and Arthur Weasley wanted all of us to go to Romania with them, but Ginny and I simply didn't have the money, so Hermione decided for Ron that we all were going to stay home in London, and stay cozy together. 

We all agreed, Harry wanted to invite Draco, and as he is sort of our friend too, he's welcome of course, and Neville and Luna was invited too as they are mine and Ginny's best friends. 

Hermione had prepared breakfast, and we all sat down and chit chatted over pancakes and scrambled eggs. 

After breakfast we sat down around the Christmas tree to open presents, this year we all had given one person each a gift and then of course our partner, we had picked names a week before and I had picked Draco, I had no idea what to give him, so I ended up asking Harry. 

After talking with Harry I decided to go out and buy a small pin of a broomstick. And then I made him a poster of him and Harry holding hands wearing their Quidditch uniforms. 

I just hope he likes it. 

For Ginny I bought a heart shaped charm to the charm bracelet I gave her a few years back, and then tickets to see The Holyhead Harpies, when they play in Scotland.

When Draco opened my present he looked like he had never gotten a more perfect present ever. He instantly knew it was me who had given it to him because no one else could really paint like I can. "Thank you Harlow this is perfect." 

I smiled at him and handed Ginny my present, she opened it carefully and she immediately put the charm on the bracelet, and then said surprised: "You got tickets to The Holyhead Harpies? How, everything was sold out." 

"I got the last ones." I giggle just looking at her amazed expression. 

"Thank you so much." She said, then leaned in and kissed me.

Our lips met only for a split second, and then Hermione handed me a present, I opened it and saw a brand new folder, and art supplies. I knew Hermione had gifted me this, because I had annoyed her with all my talk about missing space in my folder for all the wedding preparations I had to make for the wedding between Miranda Murphy and her fiancé Ashley. 

I thanked her and opened the gift from Ginny, it was a bracelet with our initials on it. I kissed her again as a thank you, and then watched the others open their presents.

Luna got a new pair of her favorite glasses just in rainbow colours, and Neville got a plant that eats nargles, and he got really happy and kissed Luna on the cheek, whispering something in her ear.

We continued to open presents and watch the fire glow from the fireplace.
