"Emily! Wake up!"
"I will literally kill you."
"You can kill me later darling it's Christmas!"
"I need peace offering."
"There's coffee on the nightstand."
"God I love you."
"Yes I know I'm utterly irresistible."
He kissed my forehead and headed out of the room. I got up and grabbed my coffee. I put on George's sweater and went downstairs. Everyone except for Ron was gathered around the large tree in the living room. I sat down on George's lap and snuggled into his chest. He rested his chin on the top of my head.
"Not a morning person." He said to the room.
"Neither was her mother. This scar is from when I went into her dorm and tried to wake her up so she wouldn't miss breakfast." Tonks replied.
Finally Ron joined everyone in the living room his hair completely disheveled.
"Ronald you look like a crack dealer." I said eliciting a laugh from everyone except Molly who was trying to hold it in.
"Well you look like the one I'm selling it to." He snapped back.
"Fair enough," I say sipping my coffee.
Molly starts handing out gifts and I watch as the Weasleys all open their sweaters and then she hands one to me. I had gotten them all gifts but I didn't expect them to get me anything. I opened it to see a yellow wool sweater with a black E in the middle.
"I know it's not much but you're apart of our family now so I thought you should have one too."
I looked up at Molly tears welling in my eyes. I've never had a whole family before. Sure I had my grandma but she was it.
"Molly I absolutely love it thank you." I hugged her and she hugged me back tightly.
George got me a picture frame with a moving picture of us dancing in it. He must've had someone take pictures that night. I got him a ring that went with my necklace it had my name engraved on it and when someone else touches it it shocks them. I had gotten everyone else small gifts to match their personalities from their reactions I think I did well.
"Emily dear, I have something for you and it's not from me but unfortunately I'm the one that has to give it to you." Tonks handed me a box and the red and green on the wrapping paper had faded. I flipped the tag and my heart dropped.
"To my dearest daughter from mum."
"This is from..." my voice trailed off as Tonks nodded. I opened it to see a photo album all moving pictures of my mum dad and once I reached the last page joining them was a very bald little baby with bright blue eyes. One picture was me walking for the first time into my Dads arms, the second one was my Mum rocking me to sleep, and the third picture was all of us laughing and smiling, mine more of a giggle since I was 2. I felt a hand wipe my cheek, I hadn't even realized I was crying. I got up and hugged Tonks tightly and she rubbed my back.
"Thank you for doing this for her." I said.
"I think she'd come back from the dead and kill me if I didn't."
We both laughed and I sat back down on the sofa next to George.
Suddenly the door opens and I see Arthur standing in it excitedly, I hadn't even noticed he slipped out. Suddenly another person joins him.
"My granddaughter is living in this dump!"
"Nana?" I looked to the door to see my grandma standing in the door way.
"Emily! Gosh I missed you." I got up and hugged her.
"What are you doing here?"
"This nice man brought me here. He said I would be coming to see you so I went with him."
"So a random man comes to your door and says he's going to take you to an unknown location and you just do it?"
"Honey, I may be old but I can kick ass if I need to you know that."
Everyone starts laughing and she joins us in the living room. George stiffens up and moves over so we aren't sitting as close. I look over to him confused and he just sits there looking nervous.
"Nana, remember the blithering idiot I wrote to you about?"
"Yes the boyfriend."
"Well this is him." I put my hand on George's shoulder and he turns to my Grandma frozen.
"Hi I'm George." He says sticking out his hand.
She takes it and shakes it lightly.
"You're right he is an idiot." She says looking to me. I laugh and put my head on shoulder, I feel him relax and he puts his arm around my waist.
"I'm kind of offended you called me an idiot." He says to me.
"Oh shush you know I love you, you goof."
He turned his head to kiss my forehead and we all sat around talking. Mr Weasley asking my Grandma about everything muggle, Ron and I playing wizard chess, and the twins arguing over something. Everyone else was in their owns conversations but we all enjoyed each other's company. This is family.

I'm so sorry this took so long! I will be wrapping this story up soon but don't fret! There will be two more continuing this story just in different books.
