Saint Like

Penny didn't sleep much that night. It was solely because of her anger, it was upsetting that even in jest he could think about her that way. It was possible that he didn't know she was experiencing all of her firsts in these new memories with him. She tossed and turned enough for Christmas morning that it was unnatural. She avoided the twins while at breakfast.

Her father greeted her with a good morning forehead kiss and plopped down breakfast in front of her. "Mrs. Weasley has been up since dawn making breakfast for everyone."

Penny ate the deliciousness that tasted like home. "It's amazing."

"Dear, eat as much as you can." She came by and dropped a parcel in front of her. "You're a part of the family." Penny quickly opened her first gift of the day and it was a hand woven jumper with a P on the front.

Her father's laughter was being muffled so that Mrs. Weasley couldn't hear it. He whispered to his daughter. "You don't have to wear that. Besides I have a special gift for you." He handed her a two way mirror. "There's the other piece at our home. So we can always be with each other."

Penny hugged her father. The glass was small enough to fit into her pocket and assumed that his was small enough too. There was a gift that she wanted to give to someone. Her special someone was attempting to shave with a charmed razor, in the bathroom upstairs. He had dressed himself nicely, probably because he was going to apologize to Penny for last night. She watched him curse at the razor when it almost cut him. She couldn't control her laughter, "I didn't think you'd need to shave."

He turned and smiled with still some cream on his face. "Oui if I don't the women won't be able to stay away. Nice jumper by the way. Hope people don't get you confused with Percy. Not like he's around much anymore."

"Seems like you're struggling?"

"Fred charmed this bloody razor, I shouldn't have let him. Everyone knows that I'm better at charms than he is. Sometimes I think he did it on purpose so that I have cuts all over my face."

She felt compassion and sat down on the counter. "May I?" She took the razor, blew on it to remove the enchantment. She helped him finish the last bits of what cream was on his face.

He kissed her once the cream was gone. "I hope you're not still upset. I'm sorry."

"It's Chritsmas George. I have a gift for you." With a quick spell from her wand the gift magically appeared in her hand.

George quickly grabbed her wand and performed the same spell. His gift appeared and they exchanged. The box she received was smaller than the size of her palm. Before she opened it, he pulled her into his bedroom that was empty and just the two. "Go ahead." He pulled Penny onto his lap so that he could hug her while she opened it.

The box underneath the paper was velvet which gave her a tiny heart attack. If she were to see a diamond of any kind in that box she would aparate immediately. Inside the box was a tiny gold ring with G.W. "Oh George," Penny looks at him with gratitude but also guilt that her gift to him doesn't have a significance like this.

He slid it on her finger. "Don't get all twisted Penny. It's not like I'm professing anything here."

She felt relief when he said that and gave a nice awkward kiss. "Open mine."

Penny's gift was larger than George's by far. Like the classic kid that lives in his heart, he shook it trying to hear anything rattling. After there was no sound, he raised a brow at Penny. He took the lid off and confetti shot out in his face. "Nice Pen," She motioned to keep looking and inside. He reached his entire arm down into the box and pulled out the broomstick she had gotten for him. "You didn't. Penny this is a Thunderbolt six! Penny this is amazing. Thank you so much."
