Never Is Our Always

Christmas At The Yule Ball 4

(Minnie pov) (month later, this is broken into two parts)

The sound of tapping against the window caused me to stir in my sleep, knowing it wasn't my dream of being attacked, I sat up in an instant with a heaved gasp.

"Fucking hell," I wipe my face from sweat as I take my glasses off my nightstand and put them on.

"You all right, Minnie?" Katie asks, letting Wulfric inside the dorm through the window.

"Oh hey," I smile as he turns and drags in a massive parcel. "What is this?" I whisper as I got off my bed and take it from him.

I started petting him with my finger as he hoots lovingly at me. Wulfric got on to my shoulder and we closed the windows.

"Ooh, I wonder what it is!" I placed it on my bed and yawn as I take the card and open it.

Minnie.

Heard you're going to the Yule ball, I think you'll be needing these, think of it as a Christmas present, even though there's some downstairs for you. By the way, thanks for my 'Quidditch Teams of Britain and Ireland' book along with the Nimbus two thousand and one broom, I haven't stopped crying.

Love Oliver.

"No way did he buy you a dress and shoes!" Katie shouts, the other girls in our dorm crowded my bed as I opened it and we all gasped.

"Oliver you little shit," I laughed, I take it out and they all squealed.

"Put it on!" Angelina shouts.

"Come on, let's see you in it!" Alicia said excitedly.

"I can't! I'll show you all at the ball tonight," I told them and they groaned at me while I laughed.

"What did you get for Christmas?" George asks while we walked together to go outside for a snowball fight.

"Uh..." my face was slowly turning red.

"Come on, tell me!" He whines, shoving my arm and I laughed.

"Oliver sent me my Yule ball dress and shoes," he stops and gasps at me.

"Really?" He smirks, "oh I have to see this."

"And you will," I smack his arm playfully, his smile lit up. "At the ball like everyone else!— tag!" I cackle while jogging away from him. He chases after me while we laugh. I dodged his long arms and ran around George.

"You two are so weird," Lee snorted as George grabbed me and I squealed as I laugh while picked me up, sitting me on his shoulders as he walks.

"Worst game of tag ever," I huff as he gripped my legs and I messed with his long hair as I put his beanie on. "What did my mum send you?" I ask Lee.

"I'm not the only one who got a ball of yarn as a joke, right?" Lee said, looking up at me. "And I didn't expect her to send us anything either."

"Neither did I, I still don't forgive her... I got sent red yarn," I told him, "then it turned into earrings and some other jewellery, even a nose piercing for me."

"Your nose is pierced?" George asks, looking up, I look down and then turn my head to the side and showed him. "Wicked."

"Don't get any ideas, Weasley." I snicker.
