I woke up to Pansy shaking me awake. I groaned. "I was sleeping so good..." I muttered, turning over to face her. She just rolled her eyes.
"I know you're trying to catch up on your sleep, but it's Christmas! You have to get up!" She said excitedly. I finally sat up.
"I almost forgot." I said getting out of bed.
"How can you almost forget Christmas?" She asked exasperatedly.
"I just did." I said shrugging. "Happy Christmas."
"Happy Christmas." She said smiling. Finally the two of us went into the commons area to find Theo and Blaise surprisingly waiting for us. Wow, they're a lot more patient than I thought.
"It's about time," Blaise said impatiently. Okay, maybe not.
"Happy Christmas to you, too." I said rolling my eyes at him.
"Draco said he'd join us in a minute." Theo said smiling. "He said we could go ahead and start opening presents."
"Alright!" Blaise said excitedly. Pansy rolled her eyes.
"Apparently SOMEONE wasn't taught self-control." She muttered, shaking her head. Blaise glared at her.
"We're ELEVEN, we're not supposed to have self-control." Blaise said rolling his eyes.
"Come on guys, stop fighting. It's Christmas." Theo said sighing.
"Theo, you sound like you're 20." I said shaking my head.
"You kind of have to with these two." He said shrugging.
"Hey!" Pansy and Blaise said sounding all offended. I love my friends.
"Let's just open presents already." I said wanting this bickering to stop. Plus I really wanted to see what Theo got me. Draco joined us right about the time Theo opened his gift from me.
"Oh, I was needing a new one of these." He said appreciatively.
"I'm glad you like it." I said feeling relieved. I thought he would think it was stupid. Pansy squealed when she saw her headband. She immediately put it on.
"Thank you so much!" She said hugging me.
"Why did you give me a coupon for Madam Puddifoots?" Blaise asked confused.
"You know, just in case you wanted to take Susan there but didn't want to spend a lot of money." I said shrugging.
"Thanks," He said blushing. Draco made a face at the candy but thanked me anyways. Pansy got me a stuffed Husky plush. It strongly reminded me of my animagus form, but she doesn't know about it. I haven't mentioned it to anyone. Although, I think Shay and I should find some time to ask Minerva to help us with turning back to ourselves from our animagus forms. Blaise got me some prank stuff and candy. Draco just got me candy. See? He didn't know what to get me either. Theo got me a necklace with a little bear charm on it and small stuffed rabbit. I hugged the crap out of him
"I'm guessing you like my gift." He muttered, blushing madly after I let him go.
"Of course, thank you!" I said grinning. Blaise just snickered and patted Theo on the back. We eventually all went to the Great Hall for breakfast. I brought Fred and George's gifts, Harry's gift, Shay's gift, and Susan and Hannah's gifts with me. I put on the necklace Theo got me before we left. As soon as I saw Shay the two of us yelled, "Christ-mas!!!!" causing everyone to cover their ears. It was great. I feel like the two of us did this every year for Christmas before. Everyone enjoyed their gifts and we finally settled down to eat breakfast.
"So Blaise what did you get Susan?" Pansy asked him curiously.
"What's it to you?" He muttered, blushing.
"I'm just curious. You don't have to bite my head off." Pansy said rolling her eyes.
"It's not my fault you're being nosy." Blaise said crossing his arms.
"Seriously guys? You're bickering over a Christmas present now?" I asked exasperatedly.
"Yes, I don't see why I should have to tell her what I got Susan." Blaise said glaring at Pansy.
"What's the big deal? It's just a present." Pansy said sighing. "Fine, I don't want to know. You're so weird."
"Susan, what did he get you for Christmas?" Shay asked grinning at her. Susan just shrugged.
"If he doesn't want you to know, then I won't tell you." She said smiling at Blaise.
"Aw, but I really want to know now." Hannah said pouting.
"Susan's just being nice, but I'm pretty sure she's saying it's none of our business." I said grinning.
"Ugh, fine..." Hannah grumbled.
"This conversation is interesting and all, but I think we need a little change of pace." George said grinning.
"Oh, what do you have in mind?" I asked him curiously.
"Snow day!" Fred said grinning.
"Of course, why didn't we think of that before?" Hannah said wide-eyed.
"That's because you're not as brilliant as we are." George said winking. She scowled at him.
"Be nice to my friend, Trollface, or you will regret it." Shay threatened, glaring at him.
"Whoa, it's all in good fun." George said rolling his eyes.
"You'll have to excuse her. She hasn't had her breakfast yet." I said shrugging. We finished eating about thirty to forty-five minutes later and we headed outside. We decided to have a snowball fight in the courtyard and afterwards we're going to make as many snowmen as we can in the Quidditch pitch. The teams were split up like this. Team 1: Theo, Blaise, George, Pansy, and myself and Team 2: Shay, Fred, Hannah, Susan, and Draco. Draco was reluctant to join us, but we convinced him anyways. He admitted to Pansy and I that he was afraid that Crabbe and Goyle were going to say something to their parents and their parents were going to tell his dad. We told him we'd make sure they don't say anything. I'm pretty sure I can make them afraid of me so they won't say a word. That seemed to relax Draco some and he actually looked like he enjoyed the snowball fight.
Shay's team ended up beating us and then we went to the Quidditch pitch. It was so much fun making the snowmen. We got tired after making five, so we resorted to magic to help finish the rest of them. Overall we made about fifty snowmen and it still didn't cover up the pitch. We would've continued, but we were really cold, wet, and tired. So we went inside and got some hot cocoa and Butterbeer from the kitchens. Later on back in the commons area, I decided to go take a nap. Pansy woke me up way too early. I'm not looking forward to the girls coming back from home. I'm going to end up spending the rest of the year with little to no sleep. Yay...
