Gabrielle Lupin (Remus Lupin's Daughter) Book Two

17

"OH MY GOD, IT'S PERFECT" I squeal as I hug Dad

"I'm glad you like it"

"I love it. But how did you afford it?"

"Sirius and Severus chipped in and the exchange rate for Muggle Money is pretty good"

"Thank you, best Christmas ever"

"You say that every year" He chuckles

"I really mean it this year though"

I go under my bed and pull out my blue wrapped box and hand it to Dad. He takes a seat on my bed and unwrap the box then takes all the gifts I got him out. I feel like I did good this year;

- Scrapbook  of us

- Jar of mini chocolate pieces with a mustache shaped label on it saying 'Dad's Chocolate Stache'

- A jar with a rock inside it that has eyes and a mouth with a flag on the cork lid that says 'Dad you rock'

"Thank you, they're lovely" Dad smiles and hugs me

"There's one more but it's downstairs"

We go downstairs and turn but stopping by the wall that's by the front door. Above the side cupboard that has the mail and keys and other bits and bobs you keep by the door is a cloak covering something.

"Remove the cloak" I smile

He pulls the cloak off and there is an window frame without the glass. in each section is string holding polaroid photos of us except the middle. hat has L with a red rose on the corner of the letter. (Link for pic is at the bottom)

"That's beautiful"

"I didn't add too many pictures because we can add to it or change some as time goes on"

"Thank you, right you better go and check the rabbits before we leave"

I nod ok and go to check the rabbits making sure their water and food bowls are charmed. I give them some new toys I got them and pet each one before saying bye. Unfortunately Smoke got sick and passed away a month ago which was upsetting but the other 3 are alive and healthy which is good news. I go back inside telling Dad I'm ready and we leave.

Grimmauld Place

"Merry Christmas" I smile entering the kitchen where everyone is sat

"Merry Christmas" They all reply

"It's good to see you Arthur, how are you feeling now?" Dad asks as he takes a seat next to Arthur.

"Your gifts are upstairs" Ron smiles

I nod ok and we begin on eating the meal cooked by Molly. After food we get sent upstairs as the adults need to talk about private stuff.

"Filthy blood traitors walking around my house like they own it"

"Oh my god that stupid portrait needs to get a life"

"I heard that, wolf girl"

I stop and turn around walking back down the steps and up to the portrait.

"I've had enough of you, I try to be nice and I even thank you when I first came here. I even said you had a nice house even though it's dark and depressing. You need to learn that words hurt."

I pick up the portrait off the wall and I turn it upside down placing it back on the wall.

"Put me back this instant"

"No can do sorry, you're staying there until you learn to be nice"

I close the curtains and walk up the stairs again

"That was brilliant" Ron laughs

"Wish we thought of it" George adds

"I've wanted to do that for such a long time" I chuckle as we walk into one of the bedrooms and all exchange presents.

I put all my presents away into my trunk then we decide to host a Wizards Chess tournament and the winner will win some galleons.
