Christmas Morning

I wake and scream. It’s Christmas!! I can’t wait to see everyone, even though it’s only been about two weeks since our winter break quidditch game I already miss everyone. I’m just that kind of sentimental person in that way.  I run downstairs and into the kitchen of our home to see mum at the stove cooking a special breakfast. Even though she is a witch since she is Muggleborn she grew up cooking without magic. And let me say her food is pretty darn close to as good as Grandma Molly’s but not quite as good.

“Happy Christmas Mummy!” I exclaim and walk over to the stove.  I grab a knife and start cutting the potatoes that she will make home fries with. “Happy Christmas sweetie, why don’t you go wake up Hugo and your father.” “And tell your father if he’s not down in five minutes his breakfast goes to the dog.” She says and I happily oblige. Running upstairs I head towards Hugo’s room first. I tiptoe into his room and pull myself onto his bed softly. I stand up and jump. I jump and jump until he finally groans and roll over almost rolling off the bed. I push him back on and resort to shaking him. He awakes and I say happy Christmas but what really wakes him up is me suggesting he can help me wake up dad.

“It’s impossible though.” He groans. “I have an idea.” I whisper my idea and we head into the bathroom. I grab the bucket that he uses to wash Magic our dog. I know ironic name right? Well dad came up with it when we got him. I fill it up with freezing water and add ice cubes to it. We sneak into the room Hugo holding one side of the bucket and I the other. When we are above him we pour it all out and he screams jolting awake. When he notices it was us his face turns red and he begins to laugh. “Well that’s one way to wake me up!” “I think it’s the only way.” Hugo and I say in unison. “Dad mum says to be down in five minutes or she’s giving your Christmas breakfast to the Magic.” I inform him and walk out of the room and into my room.

I lift the picture of Albus, Gwynn, Aidan, and I aside to find the secret safe tucked into the wall. Typing in the passcode it pops open revealing the vast amount of Christmas presents I have bought for everyone.

Hugo- A Chudley Cannons Poster

Mum- A silver chain with a turquoise heart

Yeah it’s a lot but I will see most of them at the burrow today for dinner and send the others with Happy Christmas letters. I check and make sure dads and Hugo’s are still there since they decided to try to find all their Christmas gifts and then run back downstairs not wanting my food to get cold. Sliding into the bench I see Magic our Chocolate Labrador begging at my feet knowing I’m the one to usually give him food. I slip a piece of bacon under my seat and hear him gobble it up. Without even looking up mum says “Rosie honey I already gave the dog eggs and bacon she doesn’t need anymore.” “How did you know?!” I exclaim a look of defeat on my face. “You always give Magic part of your breakfast it’s just like Lily is always feeding Padfoot when were over there.”

I sigh and go back to eating and listening to Hugo and Dad argue about who is going to win the Quidditch world cup next year. Despite dads love of the Chudley Cannons he thinks the Wimbourne Wasps will win and Hugo argues that the Chudley Cannons will. I butt in and say I think the Holyhead Harpies will be the first all women Quidditch team to win the Cup this sends Dad, Hugo and I into further discussion that continues for a while until Mum finally says it’s time to do family presents.

I run upstairs and grab their presents from my safe and rush back downstairs. Sitting under the tree before Hugo can take the spot. I set the presents in the middle and wait for everyone else to come. I call Magic over and she plops down on my feet sniffing at the one with her present in it. Mum comes next then Hugo and finally Dad. “Okay I’m giving the first one to Rose.” Hugo says starting off the present trade as I call it. From Hugo I get a blue and white silky scarf the Ravenclaw colors, from mum new BOOKS, and from dad a new cookbook. Dad gets new shirts from mom and new Quidditch posters from Hugo he loves the mugs and pours us all Butterbeer. Mum gets a bracelet from Hugo and books from dad. She puts both the necklace and Bracelet on. Hugo gets a broomstick care kit from dad and a set of parchment from mum. He immediately runs upstairs and hangs the poster I gave him.

“Okay everyone you have thirty minutes to get ready for the burrow! Ready, set, go.” Dad announces. I run to the bathroom and lock it before Mum can get to it first. I French braid my hair and paint my nails a pale green. Apply silver eye shadow and clear lip gloss. Exiting I see an impatient Mum already dressed in her Christmas outfit waiting for me to get out. “Very pretty now let me in.” “All yours!” I step into my room and close the door. I pull my Christmas dress from my closet and slip into it.

I’m the second one done after Dad because Hugo of course can’t find his presents for anyone. I being the prepared sibling sent all mine to the burrow through the floo system for grandma Molly to put with the rest of the presents. Hugo comes down and sends his and finally Mum follows him. We apparate to the burrow to see the party already in full swing.

I decided to split Christmas into two separate parts.Roses dress will be in the next chapter.  The next part will be the party and Christmas night. Hope you enjoyed it!!~ Looloo
