For The Love of Pranks! I Love You!

Happy Christmas! Or Not...

It's Christmas holidays and we, as in the Weasley's, Harry, Hermione, and I, have the Gryffindor common room to ourselves! It's very nice! Right now I snuck away from my boyfriend to go and see Moony, since I haven't in a while.

"Moony?" I call into the seemly empty classroom when I see the familiar scarred face of my godfather poking out behind the wardrobe that holds the boggart.

"Paws! I thought you'd be hanging out in the empty common room with your friends?"

"Well I was I just wanted to come and see you, that a crime is it?" I joke with him as I shut the door and wrap him in a hug as he chuckles.

"How nice of you Paws. How is everything?" I sigh putting my head on his chest.

"Alright I guess. Poor Harry's put out because of those damned dementors being the reason we lost the game, but of course he blames it on himself. And-wait! Could you possibly teach Harry the patronus spell?" He chuckles and I pout coz he's laughing at me.

"He beat ya too it Paws. He asked me earlier if I could teach him how to get rid of them. And I accepted obviously. It might take him awhile but he doesn't want them attacking him again."

"I wouldn't want them coming after me either. Why don't they come after me? I mean I have a 'tragic' past as well."

"Don't jinx yourself Evey. Maybe they just haven't realized it yet." He says in all seriousness.

"All right Moony. I better get back though, make sure the twins haven't burned the tower down without me!" I shout as I walk out if his classroom cutting off any reply he could've said.

ITS CHRISTMAS!!! I jump out of bed levitating my gifts behind me down the stairs and into the common room where I run smack into a tall ginger wall.

"Woah Love, slow down." Fred says as he grabs my waist before I fall to the floor. I just smile at him like a dork to excited to really care.

"Happy Christmas!" I say giving him a kiss which he immediately kisses back and when we pull away we're both smiling like dorks.

"Happy Christmas Love." He says before I grab his hand and drag him over to the giant tree in the middle of the common room where everyone else is sat.

We all tear through our presents thanking everyone for all our awesome gifts! Moony got me some books on ancient and rare magic-should be pretty interesting. From Fred and George some pranking supplies which we will be using! Also I silver charm bracelet with two silver wolves-their necks creating a heart from Fred. Also my yearly Weasley jumper! And then there was another gift wrapped poorly in newspaper that I wasn't too sure about. I gingerly opened it to find the most beautiful silver necklace I've ever seen.

My beautiful Evelyn,
This was your mothers favorite necklace, I gave it to her in our sixth year when we realized we really loved each other.
I remember her saying that one day she wanted it to be yours, and it's only fair that I give it to you now seeing as I can now.
I love you Baby Girl, both your mum and I. Don't ever forget that.
Dad

I had barely noticed the tear escaping my eye when I felt Fred's hand come and wipe it away.

"You alright Love?" He asks.

"Uh..yeah. I'm alright." I smile up at him and he returns it. "Can you put this on for me please?" I ask him handing him Mum's necklace.

"Sure thing Love. This is beautiful. Who's it from?"

"It was my Mum's, it's from Dad." I say as he clasps it together behind my neck and I let my hair down thanking him. We sat around for a bit just talking about everything when I realized I should bring dad some food and thank him for the necklace.

"Guys I'll meet up with you for dinner alright? I'm gonna go see Moony for a bit." I say making my way towards the portrait. A chorus of 'okays' and 'see you then' sounded as I left and headed to the kitchens. After getting the normal meal for dad, I sneak out the front doors, under the Whomping Willow and into the Shrieking Shack.

"Happy Christmas Daddy." I say as I enter his room to find him just laying on the bed staring up at the ceiling. At the sound of my voice he jumps up and I smile crosses his slightly ashen face.

"Happy Christmas Baby Girl. I saw you got your present." I sit next to him on the bed handing his food as I nod and smile looking at the gorgeous heart and moon pendant.

"It's so amazing. Thank you." I say wrapping him in a hug.

"I thought you deserved something from mum, and since I can see you now, thought this year would be best." He says tucking a stray hair behind my ear and kissing my forehead.

"I'm glad you are here this year Dad."

"And many more to come Baby Girl."

After a couple hours of just spending time with Padfoot on Christmas I decided to head back up to the castle, since I missed dinner I am now on my way to the kitchen, thinking of what I want to eat.

I get to the corridor to find a couple snogging and can't help but roll my eyes. I'm here to get food not watch you eat face!

The closer I get I start to realize just exactly who it is.. Angelina Johnson pressed up against the wall by a tall someone who looks to have....ginger hair....Oh no.. I get closer only to see a blue Weasley sweater with a sown in green F and I can literally feel my heart crumble.. Fortunately I'm not one to cry, so instead I take it out with my temper..

"You. Bloody. No-Good. Two-Timing. Arse-hole Fred Weasley!" I say shoving him with each word, he seems to recover but only to be confused as he looks to me then her and back again.

"Evey, I-"

"No!" I cut him off not wanting to hear his excuses. "You are such a lying arse! Was all the 'I can't stand her. She's crazy,' all some scheme to get to me, get me to trust you, to-to start to fall for you?! Was this just some game to you?!"

"No Ev-"

"Well you know what Fred?! I am not some piece to be played with, some little girl with 'family problems' who will fall over any guy who talks to her. But if that's what you like" I say looking at her, "then have fun because I'm not playing any stupid games!" I start to walk away forgetting my food, trying to keep the tears in. I was really starting to fall for Fred and he goes and pulls this shit..

"Please Evelyn! Let me explain!" I hear him say as he grabs my wrist and spins me around, only for me to continue the momentum by raising my hand and slapping him, probably leaving a mark. He drops my wrist only to cup his cheek that's now redder than his hair.

"Don't you ever speak to me again Fred Weasley." And I make my way to the common room, completely ignoring my friends and the questions, heading into my dorm room and collapsing on my bed. Fading into a nightmare filled sleep.
