Christmas Day

The next morning, Alya woke up in the same position she fell asleep in. George seemed to already be awake,as he was stroking Alya's hair. She turned over slightly to look at him, as he cuddled her tighter.

"Merry Christmas, Georgie," she whispered.

"Merry Christmas, beautiful," he replied, which made Alya blush. She snuggled into him, whilst playing with Fred's hair. He looked up at her and smiled straight away.

"Merry Christmas, Ally," said Fred.

"Merry Christmas, Freddie," smiled Alya.

"I'm so excited for today, but I really don't want to move," said Fred.

"Me too," said George.

"Me three," giggled Alya.

They stayed in bed cuddling for another 5 minutes before they all got too excited and got dressed. Alya put a pair of tracksuit bottoms on but kept her pyjama top on. She picked up the 7 gift bags, the twins envelope and Mr Weasley's wrapped up train set as she, Fred and George ran downstairs.

"Merry Christmas, everyone!" said Alya, Fred and George at the same time, which made them laugh. They sat down and ate their breakfast together, before Molly announced it was time to open presents.

She passed a present around to each of her children, and then passed one to Hermione and one to Alya. Alya was not expecting a present from Molly, so she was very shocked when she received it, and couldn't help but smile. They all opened their presents from Molly at the same time. Alya's present was a beautiful, hand knitted, green jumper with a large, white 'A' on the front. Alya was completely shocked and gasped when she opened it.

"This.. is absolutely beautiful," she said, staring at it in complete adoration. "Thank you so much!" she said, as she stood up to give Mrs Weasley a hug.

"You're absolutely welcome, dear," smiled Molly, hugging her back. Alya sat back down in her seat and put the jumper straight on. It fit perfectly, a little bit baggy which was just how she liked it. She looked up and saw Fred and George staring at her with huge grins on their faces.

"You're officially part of the family, now," smiled George.

"Yeah, once you get a Weasley jumper, there's no turning back," laughed Fred.

"Good, I love being part of your family," smiled Alya. George and Fred blushed and couldn't stop smiling.

The others passed around each other's presents. Alya mostly received chocolates and sweets, and some cute stuffed animals, which she was of course, extremely grateful for. Just then, there was a knock at the door. Mrs Weasley ran over and opened it, letting Snape into the house. Alya ran up to him and gave him a hug.

"Hi dad," she smiled. "Merry Christmas,"

"Merry Christmas, darling," he smiled. "I'm so glad to be spending it with you. Thank you so much for inviting us, Molly,"

"Don't mention it, Severus," said Molly. "Your daughter is absolutely remarkable, we all love her!"

"I know she is," smiled Snape, as he walked with Alya over to the table.

"Oh... hello, professor," said Ron.

"Merry Christmas, everyone," said Snape, as he sat at the table.

"Merry Christmas," everyone replied.

Alya was so excited to give out her gifts. She started with Mr and Mrs Weasley.

"I wanted to get you both something, because it's Christmas but also as a thank you for inviting me and my father,"

Mr Weasley opened his train set and muggle book, and he absolutely loved it. He wanted to set up his new train set right away, but Mrs Weasley wouldn't let him. He thanked Alya over and over again, which made Alya feel really happy, like he'd genuinely really appreciated her gift and she loved that. Molly opened her Crochet book and hooks and was extremely happy and grateful.
