Chapter 7

A/N: Sorry, wattpad deleted few parts from the chapter so I've to republish it.

Ginny received gifts from her friends and family on Christmas.
From Jack she got a Harpies jersey with her last name on it. She was so happy to see it. Boys were jealous of this but said nothing.
From Amelia she got chocolates, both muggle and magical. Amelia is a half-blood, both her parents are muggle-born.
From Tyler she received a game named 'monopoly', apparently it was a muggle game played with fake property and fake money, he said he will teach her this game at Hogwarts.
Surprisingly, she received a letter from Harry.
"Dear Ginny,
Merry Christmas. Sorry, I can't get you for christmas, but I promise I'll get something from Diagon ally, please don't say no.
Hope you are having a good time. I am not really well, don't ask why. I just think that I don't fit here. How are Ron and Hermione? I haven't heard from them, if you know that Hermione told Professor McGonagall about my new gift broom and the rest is history.
Ron seem to be busy, haven't received anything from him yet.
Let's not talk about me, tell me about you. How are your friends? How is your second year?

If you want to write back, send it with Hedwig, if not so send her back.
Merry Christmas,
Harry."

Ginny was happy to get a letter from Harry. Hedwig was waiting for her letter, just as Harry said.
"How are you, girl?", Ginny said and patted her head. Hedwig hooted and rubbed Ginny's hand. "I'll get you treat then give my letter to Harry." Hedwig hooted again. Ginny brought some owl treats and water for hedwig. She gave the letter to hedwig and she flew away.

Harry was sitting in his room when Hedwig flew in and he took the letter and gave treats to hedwig. Harry was very happy, it was the first letter her recieved since Hogwarts.

"Dear Harry,
I was really very surprised to here from you. Merry Christmas, Potter!!
If you are planning to give me gift, then allow me to buy something for you as well. I am having a good time, my friends are good and your friends are good as well. Ron is busy, yes. Hermione is fine, Ron received a letter from Hermione.
And what is wrong with you? Those muggles are troubling you? Harry, you can tell me if you want to. And of course, I heard about Hermione and your broom. Let me drop you a hint, you will get it soon, don't ask how I know..

Rise & shine,
Ginny."
Harry found Ginny's letter different. It was different from Hermione who would ask him to study and do homework. It was not like Ron as well, who would talk about quidditch and how much work he does around his house. Ginny was not at all like Ron's description. He wondered what she meant by "you will get you broom soon".
Surprisingly, he wrote to Ginny and not to his best friends. Then, he felt like he should tell everything to her. Well, over past few months, he have been talking to her once or twice, he don't know why but she felt homely, she smelled good-- though he found this thought a bit creepy.

...
Sirius was sitting in his noble family house when an owl flew in. He was confused, who will send him something?
"Dear Padfoot,
Merry Christmas! We all miss you and we figured out how to help you. Meet us at hogwarts. Get ready to see him. Hope you are taking care of yourself.

Love,
Your friends.
P.S.- Hope you'll like our gifts! -Ginny."

Sirius was now crying, silent tears rolling down his face with a small smile on his face. Those kids were so special, and they reminded him of his school days, his friends, his marauders.
He opened the parcel and saw few packets.
He opened the parcel which said 'From Jack', it had chocolates in them, Sirius felt like it a little kid again. Remus always gave him chocolates and books on Christmas, even though he said he hated them, but Sirius Black read all those books and never shared those chocolates with anyone, not even James.

Next parcel said 'From Tyler', it a leather jacket and a note pinned to it 'The Sirius Black I've heard from Mac G was a lovely and handsome boy. Here is something to enhance your beauty. -Taylor'. He laughed at this. Leather jacket was something he really wanted. Perhaps, it will enhance his beauty.

Next was from Amelia, it was a cake! And a note- 'It won't get spoiled, I asked mom to do some spells on it. Well, Christmas is never completed without cake, is it? Merry Christmas!'. He felt so happy, so complete.

Last was from Ginny, it was a picture of Harry with a ginger boy and a bushy haired girl. The other picture was just of Harry on his broom. Then there was a note- 'That's Harry with Ron and Hermione. I stole it from Ron and the other one was captured by Colin, my friend. Christmas is never complete without family, maybe he is not with you right now, but he will be around. I promise we will complete your family. -Your Gorgeous.'

Sirius was sobbing, he have never done that, I mean, he is the great marauder Sirius Black who has better hair than James.
Sirius was never loved by anyone but Marauders, and these kids-- 'Well, they are the Marauders in heart, the next generation of Marauders.', he thought.

...
"Hello.", Ginny said and entered the compartment where Amelia, Tyler and Jack were sitting.
There was  a chorus of replies.
"Ginny, I've something for you.", said Tyler.
"If it a sick prank, remember, I can hex anyone on the train.", said Ginny.
"Trust me for once, Weasley.", Tyler said and rolled his eyes. Amelia had her wand ready, and Jack was watching them with a grin.
"Here.", Tyler said and handed a small box to Ginny.
"What is in it?", asked Ginny and raised her brow.
"It won't blast, smell or kill.", Tyler said.
Ginny opened the box and lifted a silver chain with a cross.
"This cross keeps you safe and keeps all negativity away. Muggles believe in it and so do I. If you have ever had any bad experience, like you did in your first year, then the cross works as the healing from Christ. Satan hates the cross, so all evil will stay away from you.", said Tyler. "I want you to wear it, I mean... if you want to."
The other three of them were in shock. Ginny hugged Tyler.
"Never thought that you can be this sensible. Thank you.", she said during the hug and pulled away.
"Don't worry.", he said and grinned.
"That was really very sensible of you.", said Amelia.
"Right. Mia even had her wand ready.", Jack said and chuckled.
Ginny wore the cross that instant, and she promised herself no never ever remove it.
"Oh, and I got something else as well!", said Tyler. He pulled out four soda cans, coke to be exact. "Shake it well before drinking, it helps to mix the flavour well."
Tyler eyed Amelia who knew what will happen if they followed his actions, she smiled at him and he took it as a yes.
The other two were dripping in coke and they were cursing Tyler and Amelia calmed them down by casting a silencing charm on their mouths.

...
The foursome left the train, Amelia and Tyler were walking behind Ginny and Jack.
"Thanks.", said Jack.
"For?", asked Amelia.
"For talking my side and helping me to give them a coke shower.", he said.
"It was a christmas gift, nothing serious.", Amelia said with a grin.
"Sirius! Did you heard from him?", asked Tyler.
"Nope.", she shook her head.
"He received our gifts? Didn't he? Or maybe he went out or something?", asked Tyler.
"Yeah.", Amelia rolled her eyes. "A framed murderer, who is wanted both in muggle and magical world, went on a date with his girlfriend."
"Possible?", he asked.
She just rolled her eyes and walked to Ginny and Jack.
"It is not possible.", Tyler said to himself.

A/N: I do not know the significance of the cross, so I googled it. If I did any mistake or if I misinterpreted the meaning then please correct it(Sorry!).
Again, I am not trying to offend any religion with my mistake(s)!
