Chapter 3

AT THE WEASLEYS

I yawn rolling over in bed, Harper is already awake in my room sat at the end of my bed with a huge grin.

"The Malfoy's are coming, the potters are coming, anddddd Uncle George is coming too. Get up we need to get ready" she squeaks in excitement. I huff grabbing my phone and putting on some music to get ready to.

Going over to my dresser I apply some make up. Green glittery eyeshadow and some mascara, as well as powdering through my eyebrows so they look a little bit fuller.

Harper-Mae borrows some red glitter applying it to her eyes and adding mascara to her lashes. Her eyes were glowing and she was smiling a lot, most likely at the thought of spending Christmas with the family. She skips off into her room returning in a pretty red dress, and reindeer headband.

I chuckle at her and roll my eyes as I get up and change into my christmas hoodie and a pair of jeans.

Harper-Mae rolls her eyes, "You're not wearing that again. Come borrow a dress"

I shake my head but follow her knowing she'll kill me if I don't change. She throws three green dresses at me and tells me to chose.

The first a glittery short dress, a bit too short for a Christmas meal at home, much more of a party dress.
The second a pretty simple velvet dress, also green. I didn't even need to see the third.

"That one" I smile as I grab it and put it on. Just as I do the doorbell goes.

"The Malfoy's are here girls, hurry up" shouts Mum, Harper-Mae skips off, and I just stroll downstairs not wanting to be so energetic. I make it down the stairs and Draco smiles at us both.

"You both look so grown up." He smiles. Hunter and Damien go straight to the kitchen to help my mother. "Have you got your secret Santa presents sorted girls?"

"Yeah mines sorted" smiles Harper-Mae, she got Noah so bought him a quidditch kit and a new broom.

"Yeah I've got mine, have you got yours?" I smile. I picked Damien earlier that week, had six meltdowns and then decided on a snake chain.

"Yes, don't tell her but I got your mother a few new books, she has always been a keen reader like yourself Electra-Ivy" he smiles, wandering into the kitchen to help.

Once Uncle George arrives, along with the Potters, the meal went pretty quickly. Everyone was staying for the evening, and we decide to do presents the next morning on Christmas Day.

A movie night had arisen in the living room, we all change into comfy clothes and snuggle up on the three sofas we have. Clarissa, Olivia-Grace, Harper-Mae and I share one sofa. Damien, Noah, Hunter and Draco share the second. Mum, Dad, Harry, Astoria and Ginny share the third. Everyone else congregates on a duvet in the middle of the room.

It got to about midnight when I decide to head to bed. Damien wasn't far behind as I heard him and Noah talking on the way up the stairs.

I wake up and throw on my Christmas pyjamas, you know the kind we all have that we only wear on Christmas?

I run downstairs closely followed by Harper-Mae only to realise everyone else is already downstairs, so we just go and sit on the sofa next to Mum and Dad.
