It was finally Christmas morning. Cassie blinked awake, the soft glow of light filtering through the curtains. The room was quiet, save for the occasional pop of the enchanted fireplace. She sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes, and turned toward the small tree in the corner. Beneath it, a neat pile of presents had been arranged—likely the work of the house-elves.
Sliding out of bed, she padded over and picked up the first package. It was wrapped in sleek black paper, the edges crisp and precise. A Black family heirloom, then. She peeled away the wrapping carefully, revealing a leather-bound book embossed with a silver crest.
Toujours Pur.
Her lips pressed together at the sight of the family motto. Of course. She traced the raised emblem before flipping it open, finding a folded card tucked inside.
Cassie let out a breath of laughter. Of course Aunt Cissy would send something like this. It was equal parts tradition and subtle rebellion—wrapped up in the polished elegance only Narcissa Malfoy could manage.
Setting the book aside, she reached for the next package. This one was lumpy, wrapped in plain brown paper, and tied together with twine. She grinned before even opening it.
Sure enough, inside was a thick knitted jumper, indigo blue with a golden C stitched into the center. A Weasley jumper.
