Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Harry scrubbed at his eyes. He yanked on a shirt and stuffed his long feet into slippers. The banging didn't stop. Harry rubbed his head, he didn't like being woken up this early, plus his head ached.

"I'm coming," his deep voice called out. The banging stopped for a moment.

"Hello?" Harry groaned opening the door. A very worried looking girl stood there, lips almost blue from cold.

"I am so sorry to bother you," she began.

"S alright, what's wrong," Harry practically slurred.

"Well a year ago I moved to London and my family lives in America. They're coming to see me for Christmas, and my darling little sister is coming. Anyway I really thought the gift I ordered for her would come in time, but it won't. She loved the gift I got for her birthday from your toy store. I know it's Christmas Eve and the store is closed, but I was wondering if you had anything?"

Harry was in awe of the girl who had spoken about fifteen words a second. She stood there, her breath visible in the cold air, looking at him earnestly.

"Come in," he finally said. She followed behind him nervously. He led her to a room with no door, just a red curtain in the entrance.

"I'm sure I can find her something in here," he smiled. Behind the curtain was his workshop. She stood there in awe. Golden and silver gears flashed in the light. Gentle ticking filled the room. Tools and fabrics were spread over a table. Prototypes and blueprints for toys overflowed from the trash cans while the good ones were taped to the walls.

"This is amazing!" She said looking around in complete amazement.

"Glad you like it," Harry said kindly, he was no longer angry about being woken up.

"What does she like?" Harry asked. The girl didn't answer.

"What does she like?" Harry said a bit louder.

"Huh, who?" She asked obviously distracted by all the gadgets and gizmos.

"Your sister," Harry said.

"Ohhh, sorry," the girl blushed.

"Space, she loves space," she smiled. Harry lifted one finger as if to say "I've got it" and turned to a pile of toys on the left.

"I'm y/n by the way," the girl said slowly.

"Nice to meet you," Harry raised a hand but didn't turn around. "I'm Harry"

"And I'm not usually this crazy, just I need to get my little sister a gift."

"I understand," said Harry gently and then turned around. In his hand was a gorgeous model of the solar system. Each planet beautifully painted, with small balls imitating stars hanging as well. He pressed a small button and they began turning all at different rates. Harry then flicked off the lights and the stars glowed in the dark.

"It's perfect," y/n said, mesmerized.

"Glad you like it, it's 20 dollars."

"Only!" She scoffed, throwing the money in his hand. Without waiting for anything else she kissed his cheek, grabbed the gift and raced from his house.

Harry touched the place where she'd kissed him happily. He then crawled back into his warm bed.

About a week later as Harry worked he noticed that y/n had come in the shop. As soon as she saw him she rushed over.

"Hello Harry!" She said jovially. Harry grinned.

"Hi love, did you sister like the gift?"

"Oh she loved it," the girl said with eyes all aglow. "It was absolutely perfect, thank you again.

"Well I'm glad-" Harry began.

"But I want to thank you officially by taking you out to dinner if you let me. A kind of apology, thank you, mixed together since I burst into your house at 3 am."

"Well, I'd, I'd love that," Harry smiled.

"Good I'll be here at seven if that's okay?" She asked.

"That's great."
