Harry Potter Fanfiction~The Finnigans.

Chapter Six~Christmas Day.

The week before Christmas both Chloe and Shannon received letters to invite them for a Christmas dinner by owl. Chloe's read 'Dear Chloe, hope you're okay. I was wondering if you'd like to join me and my parents for Christmas dinner on well, Christmas Day? I'd love you to join us! Please write back ASAP, love from Draco x' and Shannon's read 'Dear Shannon, hope you're well. Would you like to join me, Hermione and Ron's family at his house on Christmas day for dinner? We'd all love you to come...especially me. Send back you owl ASAP please. Love from Harry x' Chloe and Shannon were so happy. They both approached their mum at the same time. "Mam, can I go t' Draco's house for Christmas dinner please?" Chloe asked politely sitting down on the arm of the chair that her mother was sitting on. "An' can I please go t' the Weasley's with 'Arry for Christmas dinner mam?" Shannon added batting her eyelids. "If you'd really like t' yes, Seamus is goin' t' Dean's anyway. Just 'member t' come an' have Boxing Day wi' us the next day sweet'arts." Their mother replied. Shannon and Chloe shared looks of happiness and answered Draco and Harry quickly.

Christmas Day soon arrived. After the excitement of opening their presents in the early hours of the morning with the family Chloe, Shannon and Seamus all lined up at the fireplace to travel to their locations by floo powder.

Chloe stepped into the fireplace and took a handful of the glittery, silver sand like floo powder. "Malfoy Manor." She said clearly before disappearing in the green flames and arriving in a large living room of the Malfoy Manor. Draco was there waiting for her, he greeted her with a hug. "Hey Chloe, follow me, my parents can't wait to meet you!" He smiled. Chloe followed him through the large long corridor and into the massive dining room where his parents were waiting. She smiled warmly at them. His mother introduced herself first. "Lovely to meet you Chloe, I'm Narcissa." She greeted. Draco's mother had baby blonde and dark brown hair. Her skin was place and she wore a very long black dress and ruby red lipstick. His father then firmly shook her hand and said "Hello. I'm Draco's father, Lucius. Nice to meet you." Chloe smiled again. Lucius had long light blonde hair and wore a long black cloak. "Draco, why don't you give Chloe a tour around the house? Dinner won't be ready for another three hours yet." His mother suggested. Draco agreed.

Draco led her around the huge manor. The rooms were magnificent. After a tour they decided to lie down on the grass in the garden which was covered in snow. The Malfoy Manor was stunning from the outside, it looked almost like a castle with it's towers and turrets. It was a beige colour with a black roof and Tudor styled windows and was very grand in size. "Your parents seem nice." Chloe commented while messing around with snow in her hands. "Yeah. My mother's always lovely, but my father, he can be a bit, harsh." He spoke back. Draco refused to tell her why so she just forgot about it. Chloe carried on rolling little balls of snow in her hands then decided to throw one lightly at Draco. "Hey! You're going to regret that!" He retorted playfully before throwing one back. This resulted in them both standing up and having a snowball fight. "Ye can't get me!" Chloe mocked running away. Draco chased after her. When he caught her he wrapped his arms around her waist from the behind and span her round making her giggle and scream uncontrollably. She span round so she was facing him. He started to lean forward, aiming his lips onto hers. They were nearly touching when his mother's call interrupted them. "Dinner's ready!" They walked up to the house awkwardly. The dinner was amazing. At the end of it Chloe returned home feeling very happy indeed.

Shannon stepped into the fireplace carefully with large handful of the silver, glittery powder. "The Burrow." She pronounced loudly before throwing the floo powder down and disappearing into the lime green flames. Next thing she knew she was in a nicely decorated room and Harry was sat waiting for her. "Hello Shannon. Come with me, everyone's looking forward to meeting you." Harry greeted while giving her a hug. Harry led her to the kitchen where everyone was waiting. A short friendly woman with wavy ginger hair approached her first. "Nice to meet you dear, I'm Molly, Ron's mother." Next she was given a handshake by a tall ginger man with a kind smile and a pointy hat. "Arthur, Ron's father." He simply said. She was also introduced to Charles 'Charlie' Weasley and William 'Bill' Weasley who were Ron's older brothers. Ginny, Percy, Fred, George, Ron and Hermione were also there. "Why don't you all talk for a while, me, your father, Charlie and Bill have to finish preparing dinner." Mrs Weasley suggested. They all agreed and sat in the living room. Fred and George were winding Percy up, Ron and Hermione were talking to Harry while Shannon decided to stay with Ginny.

Shannon spoke to Ginny for ages, she was really starting to become her best friend. "I've noticed Harry has been staring at you a lot." Ginny announced quietly. Shannon looked at her amazed. "Really?" Shannon answered before turning around and catching Harry's long gaze and commented "Ye know 'Arry if ye take a picture, it'll last a lot longer." Ginny laughed and Harry's cheeks took a bright pink colour. "I think he wants you to speak to him Shann." Ginny admitted. Shannon saw what she meant so she went up to him. Harry dragged her outside, it was freezing. "W-what's wrong?" She asked while shivering dramatically as she was only in a thin jumper because her coat was inside the house. "Nothing." He smiled. Shannon playfully hit him with her numb hands. "Ye mean ye got me ou' 'ere for not'ing? Are ye ou' of ye mind? It's freezing!" She moaned. Harry took of his jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders. He smirked before leaning forward at a steady pace until his lips were millimetres apart from hers. "Harry dear, dinner's ready." Mrs Weasley shouted interrupting them. They walked into the house awkwardly but every so often they beamed at each other. Shannon went home grinning like mad.
