Mirror
The Christmas present opening fun was not over. Alice had received another present from her parents. She had been begging for new boots all winter long. Her mother gifted her three pairs of winter boots just in her style. Her father had sent her both fictional and non-fictional books about magical beasts. As well as a silver necklace with a small star hanging from it. Both of the beautiful gifts gave Alice a bittersweet feeling, she greatly missed her parents.
That sad feeling was short-lived.
Having woken up late, as usual, the Weasley twins parade down the stairs with excitement.
"Merry Christmas!" They chime.
"Hey, look— Harry's got a Weasley sweater, too!" George points to Harry's green knitted sweater. George adorns a blue one with a 'G' and Fred, an 'F'.
"Harry's is better than ours, though. She obviously makes more of an effort if you're not family," Fred says.
"Don't worry, Alice. I'm sure you're next on her list. They're lovely and warm," George tells her, "What's your favorite color? So I can let the boss lady know."
"I like blue, especially really dark blue."
"Very well. We'll let her know." Fred nods.
"You haven't got a letter on yours," George observes Harry's sweater, "I suppose she thinks you don't forget your name. But we're not stupid — we know we're called Gred and Forge."
"What's all this noise?"
Percy emerges from the stairs, sneering in disapproval of the noise. Fred seizes a sweater in Percy's arms.
"P for prefect! Get it on, Percy, come on. We're all wearing ours. Even Harry got one."
Alice couldn't help but feel a little left out. She's never wanted a homemade sweater more than she does right now.
"I — don't— want —" Percy whines as the twins wrestle the sweater over his head.
"Perfect," Fred sighs.
Percy readjusts his glasses.
"You guys missed a present." He points to a brown-wrapped parcel hidden in the corner underneath the tree.
Ron picks up the present. "It's for Alice," he says.
He hands it to her. As she opens the paper, she sees the threads of knitting. A smile returns to her face.
"Is that what I think it is?" George asks.
She holds up the dark blue knit sweater with a white 'A' in the center.
"How did she know?" George gasps.
"The woman is magic. Put it on," Fred commands.
She does so. The sweater had the scent of a sweet perfume and felt like a warm hug.
