Ch. 4: Christmas with the Weasley's

A/N: Hope you enjoy. Also, this is just a bit of a filler chapter :)

Also sorry its been so long, I've been sick, and also writers block

f/r = favourite roast 

(pick your favourite, I'm vegetarian, so my choice is pumpkin. I wanted to leave it so you can choose what you want)

*Y/N POV*

I awoke to the smell of roast f/r cooking,  the intoxicating smell coming from downstairs. I turned in my sleeping bag and looked up to see Ginny, still asleep in her bed. I was staying at the Weasleys's over night. As I woke up and began to regain consciousness, and realized it was Christmas day. 

When I got back home for the start of the Christmas holidays, I had began to tell Dad and Pops about my new friends, and all the adventures that had been to hard to describe in letters. When I had told them about how I had wanted to catch up with the twins at some point, they had said that they would be happy for me to stay over at theirs at some point. At hearing this exiting news, I rushed upstairs and quickly scrawled a letter to the twins, and sent it off with the family owl. 

Within a few hours, I got a note back saying that their parents had invited me to stay for a few days before Christmas, and wake up on Christmas morning at their place, and also that my parents were invited for Christmas lunch as well. After confirming with my parents, I had replied with a yes, and was now lying in a spare bed in the twins little sister, Ginny's room. 

Fred and George and told me that they had a big family, but until I arrived at The Burrow, I had not realized just how big. They had three older brothers who I had met, Bill, Charlie and Percy, as they all were still in attendance at Hogwarts, Bill in his last year. They also had two younger siblings, Ron, who was the same age as my cousin Harry, and Ginny, who was a year younger than Ron. There was also Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, their parents, who were some of the sweetest people I had ever met. Mr. Weasley was obsessed with everything to do with Muggles, and we had some nice chats about that, as I had become quite interested in some muggle music over the past few months. Mrs. Weasley liked to dote on me, always giving me food, and asking me lots of questions and saying how sweet I was. I think that she was just quite glad that Fred and George had a friend who was, one, a girl, and two, more responsible than them.

I sat up and looked down to the end of my bed to see a huge pile of presents. "Wow." I whispered to myself. I didn't remember to think that, as I had so many new friends, that I would get so many more presents. 

I threw my pillow at Ginny, and she woke with a start. "W-w-what? What happened?" Ginny and I had bonded straight away, so I didn't find it weird doing this. "Wake up silly. Presents! Look!" I said as I reached and grabbed the present on top of the pile. 

Ginny sat bolt upright, making me laugh at the sudden grin plastered on her face, and I grinned back.

I unwrapped my first present, from Dad and Pops. I smiled when I saw that it was a photo of the three of us standing in front of the Hogwarts express, talking to each other. Uncle James must have taken it. They knew that I wasn't into big, flashy presents, and I preferred something meaningful. It was perfect. 

My other presents included, a f/c hand-knitted jumper and some homemade fruit cake from Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, a necklace with a picture of the twins and I and some of my favourite muggle sweets from George, a very pretty f/c braided bracelet and some more sweets from Fred, a poster of my favourite quidditch team from Lee, a very pretty, quite expensive hair piece I had always wanted from Katie and Angelina, a new scarf and broom servicing kit from Lily, James and Harry, a bunch of sweets from the rest of the Wealsey children, and finally a box of wool and some pegs from our house elf, Kreacher.
