Secret Santa One Shot Exchange 2016

Hello Little Longbottom

Alright, so, as pretty much everyone here knows, kmbell92 promoted this event for me-- Which is really amazing and I'm so grateful for. This has been an absolute success thus far. So, as a thank you, I assembled a small squad of writers to write some oneshots for you their secret santa assignments (Which also worked out really well, and gives me the opportunity to participate in this event as well). RubyHeart_26 was very eager to jump in and write a fic for kmbell for Christmas, so here's the product of that and her love for kmbell's writing-- And thanks again for promoting the event kmbell92, I think it's safe to say everyone involved loves your work.

Neville felt himself be shaken awake as he slowly opened his eyes. "Kefi? What are you doing? It's the middle of the ni-" "It's Christmas Nevs!!!" She exclaimed happily, cutting him off. He was glad Kefira was so energetic. She hasn't been feeling her best for the past few days. He sat up and looked at his wife to find that she was wearing his jumper. "You still want to wear my jumpers?" He asked curiously. "They're warm. I like them." She said, burying her face into it. Neville chuckled. "Is it okay though?" Kefira asked shyly. He only laughed and got up from bed.Kefira bounced in her seat on the couch as Neville made the two hot chocolate. "What are you so excited about?" Neville asked, quirking a brow. "Oh nothing..." She lied obviously, a cheeky smile plastered on her face. "Okay what's going on?" Neville asked, putting down the mugs. She blew on her mug before taking a sip of the warm liquid. "Well..." She began. But the girl was soon distracted by glancing under the Christmas tree. "YAY PRESENTS!!!" She squealed as Neville chuckled.'To: Neville and Lion Merry Christmas!!! From: Fire Ant and Goat' Kefira read. They laughed at the old nicknames. "I never thought they'd actually remember." Neville laughed. They opened the present to find a beautiful homemade picture frame, decorated with different memories on the border. Kefira sighed happily, reminiscing when Neville picked up another item from the box.It was a small pillow with a embroidered lion, plant, goat, and of course, fire ant. "Aww!!! It's adorable!" Kefira sighed. "I bet you this is Seamus' work." She stated. "Yeah. It's really good embroidery though." Neville laughed, smiling. They wondered how it got under the tree, but after all, they did live in a magical world.They got a few more presents. Some mugs from Cardel and Alana, some cute scarves from Rosemary, Lottie and Nellie, matching jumpers from Augusta- although she loved it, Kefira preferred the jumper she was wearing currently- and a few others. They finally finished opening presents, and their hot chocolate as well, and it was time to bring out their own presents."Merry Christmas Nevs!!!" Kefira greeted, pulling out a box. "Merry Christmas Kefi!!!" Neville replied, pulling out a smaller, yet equally valuable box. They exchanged gifts and kissed each other on the cheek. "You first!!!" Kefira said, obviously excited for some reason.Neville opened the box to find an odd leather-bound book. He turned the page and found it blank. "Wha-" Words suddenly flashed across the page. 'From: Kefi Merry Christmas Nevs!!! Hope you like it!' The words disappeared and Neville turned the page. Odd drawings appeared on the page. A background suddenly formed and Neville realized it was the Hogwarts Express. Young Neville moved across the page, trailing behind a bushy-haired brunette. They reached a compartment in which a dark skinned boy, an irish boy, and of course, a fiery haired girl sat. He watched as their first meeting occurred, and turned the page. Each page had another memory. All up until the last page, where a picture of them smiling was. 'I love you Neville Longbottom. I hope I'll grow old enough to make a lot more memories with you.Love, Kefira'Kefira waited for a while, watching the breathless boy close the book. She was about to speak but he quickly captured her lips in a sweet kiss. "Kefi, this is amazing." He breathed, kissing her again. "I tried." She replied before another kiss. "Okay! That's enough Nevs. It's my turn!""I'm sorry. I obviously can't compare to yours, and you might not like i-" "Nevs. It's fine." She laughed before opening the gift. 'From: NevilleMerry Christmas Kefi! I love you!Love,Neville' the tag read.She opened up the small box before gasping. It was a beautiful necklace, with a forest green chain, with different engravings on it.The most dazzling component however, was the pendant. The pendant was a brilliant orange-red, resembling Kefira's hair color. It was shaped to look like a beautiful flower with petals resembling a lion's mane."Nevs-" Kefira was soon cut off by the chain glowing. 'I love you too.' Kefira's eyes widened and she looked to Neville. "Well, I decided to enchant the chain, so it would glow words in response to your feelings. Stuff I'd say." He stated.Neville soon felt the air knocked out of him as Kefira tackled him to the floor with a kiss. "Oh! Sorry!! Are you okay?!" She exclaimed, getting off. "Yeah. I'm fine." He said before Kefira kissed the bloody hell out of the boy.They hugged before separating. "Could you help me put it on please???" She asked with a pout. Neville laughed and placed the necklace around her neck, locking the clasp. She smiled and turned around. "Thank you." She said, giving him another kiss on the cheek. "Thank you too." He replied, kissing her as well.Kefira suddenly stopped short in her tracks before smiling broadly again. "Okay what's going on?" Neville asked, looking around for the twins. "I have another present for you!" She exclaimed happily as Neville's eyes widened. "Kefi! Your gift was already really amazing!!! I don't really deserve ano-" "Nonsense! Let's go!!!" She cut him off, pulling him up from the couch. "Okay. Now what?" He asked curiously. "SCAVENGER HUNT!!!"It took Neville nearly an hour to find something, but what he found was puzzling. "A bun... in the oven?" He asked questioningly as Kefira laughed. It took a few seconds for Neville to process it, then he suddenly jumped. "OH! WHAT?!" He looked shocked, staring at Kefira. She nodded and smiled. "I'm pregnant. You're a dad now, Neville." She smiled. He suddenly beamed and picked Kefira up. He spun her around as she laughed. He put her down and held his ear against her stomach. "Hello little Longbottom. Welcome to the family. I'm your daddy." He whispered into her stomach.Kefira smiled at Neville as he rambled on and kissed her while they cuddled on the couch. "You're gonna make a great dad, Neville." She whispered to him, planting a kiss on his cheek. "You're gonna be a great mom." He replied. "One thing?" She asked as Neville looked at her. "Anything."She jumped up from her seat and jumped to the floor. "You're the one who's telling my mum and dad, okay? Bye!!!" She said quickly, retreating up the stairs. "Wait what?!" Neville replied, jumping up. "MERLIN KEFI, THEY'D KILL ME!" He exclaimed, running a hand through his locks. "It's the price to pay Nevs. Good luck!" She called as Neville groaned, but inside, still smiled at the thought of raising a family side-by-side with the woman he loved. Maybe this condition isn't so bad.
