Chapter 21: The celebration of Christmas

~•~

Christmas Day was upon the occupants of 12 Grimmuald Place quicker than they'd ever expected. Mister Weasley had been released from St. Mungo's and was home, which for everyone was the best Christmas present they could ever of wished for.

They'd all exchanged gifts, Olivia give the twins theirs first: all their favourite products from Zonko's and a new leather bound journal each for them to write their new pranks. She then gave everyone else theirs, proving she had in fact pretty much bought the whole of Hogsmeade like Fred had claimed.

Olivia herself was overwhelmed by gifts, her father had given her a necklace in the shape of a heart that was missing one side, he had told her the other half had belonged to her mother and said, "Even though she couldn't remember her she would always be close to her heart." Which made Olivia cry. The twins had given her a box of Puking Pastille's with a note attached telling her to use them wisely.

They were now sat around the dinner table waiting eagerly for their Christmas dinner made by Molly before Snape arrived for Olivia to attend the Malfoy Ball later on in the evening.

"I'm telling you, you need to be careful." Olivia warned.

"We already are Liv we'll be–"

"You literally have no idea how close they were to catching Lovegood when she got there."

"They almost caught her?" Ron asked.

"Yeah, they know where it is but they don't know how to get in. Give it a few weeks." Olivia said.

"We can always lead the nosey buggers off the wrong way as a distraction and then prank them. It'd be a perfect opportunity to test some of our new products out." Fred suggested, nudging his twins arm.

"Brilliant idea that Fred." George answered as they looked to the group for an input.

Hermione closed her book and set it on the table, "We're not pranking anyone."

"Not even Malfoy?" Fred asked.

"His girlfriend's sitting right here." Olivia deadpanned, raising an arm into the air.

"What about Filch?"

"Hey–no. Not Flich." Olivia said.

"Why not Flich? Are you alright in the head?" Ron argued.

"Flich is our cheerleader." She answered with a smirk, "Look if you're gonna prank anyone make it Parkinson, or Crabbe and Goyle."

"There you go Hermione see, Livvy's got the right idea." Fred said as he ruffled Olivia's hair.

"Don't call me that."

"And here we goooo. .daddy's back." Molly Weasley said as she wheeled Arthur into the kitchen then ducking to the left to avoid the the flying Santa on a broomstick.

Olivia and Fred laughed as they all rose and clapped, widespread grins on their faces.

"Sit down." Molly said waving her hand around as she moved for the presents, shocking Olivia when she handed her one. The girl laughed as she held out the twins gifts then swapped them both various times before giving in and handing them over.
