By the time lunch rolled around, everybody was hungry and eager to open gifts. Devore readjusted the bow in her hair and touched up her curls. Hermione and Ginny and got dressed and when Mrs. Weasley yelled for them all to come down, Devore bounced out of the room with excitement. She saw her mom at the end of the stairs with Bennet by her side, his arms around her waist. When she got close enough, she could see that her eyes weee puffy. "Mum, is everything okay?"
Chanel quickly smiled. "Of course, sweetheart. You know how I get around the holidays. All emotional." She excused and laughed.
Devore blinked and slowly nodded. The family walked into the kitchen and she smiled seeing Fred dressed in his button up shirt and sweater vest. "You look so handsome," she praised and wrapped her arms around his torso.
Fred smiled down at her. "Thanks, love," he said and kissed the top of her head.
Chanel saw Sirius come and stand at the entrance way of the kitchen and they met eyes for a second. She quickly looked away and put her attention on her hands.
George was looking frazzled, seeing as Olivia had not shown up yet, and he didn't want to open gifts or eat without her. "What if she changed her mind?" He spoke his thoughts.
"She'll be here, Georgie. Don't panic," said Devore while she was also antsy, waiting for her friend to appear.
"Look who's here," Molly sang and she wheeled Mr. Weasley into the kitchen. "Here comes daddy."
The kids and adults immediately clapped. Devore smiled big, happy to see Arthur well even though he was still bruised. His arm was wrapped in a sling and his fingers were bandaged, but he still managed to smile at them all. A people crafted crown sat upon his red head. "I've missed you, Mr. Weasley," said Bennet.
"Oh, I've missed you dearly, Benny." Arthur told him and sent him a sweet grin.
"You still look handsome as ever, Arthur." Said Chanel kindly.
"You're too kind, Nelly. Thank you."
"Okay, sit down, everybody, sit down!" Ordered Molly while giggling.
Just as they all sat at the table, there was footsteps coming and a head full of dark curls covered in snow walked into the kitchen. Olivia had a wide set smile on her face. "Hi, everybody."
"Liv!" George immediately said, along with everyone else, and stood from his chair. He walked around everybody and up to her, pulling her into a hug. "Finally, you're here."
"I'm so sorry. I would've been here earlier but there was a lot of people on the Knight Bus."
"Livy!" Devore squealed and got up from her chair. When George stepped out of the way, she took his place. "I've missed you so much."
