After pulling many pranks and getting hundreds of detentions it was finally Christmas eve. Everyone was inside the common room warming up by the fire so me and Fred were able to sneak away and walk around the school. We ended up being in the astronomy tower. Fred suddenly broke the silence, "Are you ready for the yule ball?" I nodded and asked, "Are you and George still spiking the punch?" He nodded with the biggest smile. I laughed at his enthusiasm. "You know Emily, I'm really happy I met you" I smiled to the floor, "I'm glad we met as well," I felt myself blush as Fred grabbed my hand that was sitting on the railing. After we sat in silence for a while we went back to the common rooms, hand in hand, we only let go when we saw Ginny and George staring. As if they had planned it they both grabbed their respective person and dragged them to their dorms. "Tell. Me. Everything." I gave her a confused look, "I know you and Fred have something going on." I sighed and told her in full detail everything remotely romantic between us two, "You know Emily, I was talking to George, and apparently, Fred always talks about you. You should have heard him over the holidays, it dove me mad!" I laughed and told Ginny I was going to bed.

"EMILY BROWN GET UP RIGHT DAMN NOW!" I woke up to Fred and George's voice and an amused Ginny. I shot her a look and quickly got changed. Ginny and I brought our presents down to the common room where an angry Fred and George waited for us. "You two took ages!" They both whined, "Not me! It was all this girl right here." Ginny pointed at me and I gave her an astonished look. Then we both laughed and sat down. We began opening our gifts. I got a sweater from Molly, sweets from Harry and Ron, A book on charms from Hermione, multiple bars of chocolate from Remus and Sirus, an alarm clock and sweets from Ginny which made us all laugh. Then I got to Fred and Georges's gifts, I gave them a worried look and asked, "Is anything bad going to happen when I open this?" They both gave me a look which told me it probably will. I opened Georges first, confetti popped out in hundreds of colors, I smiled and looked inside to find a book on pranking and a bunch of zonkos products. I thanked him and smiled. I got to Freds which made me even more worried, he gave me a smile which didn't really help. I slowly took the lid off the box and as I suspected something came popping out. This time instead of confetti it was paint that doesn't come off unless you use a special charm, which he had forgotten I knew. The paint came flying out a got on everyone sitting close to me. I looked around and realized everyone's colors were different. "It's a new product, each color represents your personality. so George is fun cause he's red, Ginnys strong cause shes orange, I'm happy cause it's yellow, and Emily you're kind cause your pink," We all smiled when we heard our names, "That's amazing!" I smiled at the two twins. They both gave me a grin. I looked back into the box and found a book with no title. I opened it and found photos of every prank me and the twins have ever pulled. "Oh my God! Fred how'd you get these?" He smiled "I've been taking photos ever since the first year." I jumped up and hugged him, "It's amazing!" everyone got their paint off after a lot of convincing. "Wait before you girls leave we need your guys' opinion on something." Ginny looked at me and I shrugged. The boys soon came out of the boys' dorms with a cauldron filled with a pink liquid. "What's this?" I questioned, "This Emily, is a new product. It's amortentia but we made it into a perfume, it's gonna be a part of our shop!" Ginny soon had a question, "What do we have to do with this?" Fred and George looked at each other, "We wanna know what you two smell so we know whether it works." I was confused, "What's it meant to smell like?" George rolled his eyes, "Apparently you smell your soulmates scent r what you desire." Ginny went first, "I smell broomstick wood and butterbeer." I nearly choked on the strawberry lollipop that I had gotten from Ron, "Ginny you know how you smell your soulmate, you do realize that harry literally always smells like butterbeer." I could tell they wanted to know how I knew that information, "I lived with him with Sirius and Remus for nearly all of a summer okay." Ginny blushed and George gave her a small nudge, "Go on Emily what about you?" I leaned over the potion, "I smell... Cinnamon and Fireworks." I soon realized what I had smelt and quickly covered my blush with my hair. I looked over and saw George and Ginny sniggering and Fred blushing. "What about you Fred what do you smell?" Fred quickly snapped out of his trance and began smelling the potion, " I smell strawberries and sugar." I nearly choked again. "You alright there Emily? This a bit shocking for you." I hid under my hair again as Fred wondered what was going on, "Hey Fred did you ever realize what lollipop Emily always has or her favorite sweet flavor?" George slowly hinted to him. Fred started blushing and quickly changed the subject, "What do you smell George?" George took a sniff and answered, "Firewood and plants" We all nodded simultaneously. "He do you guys wanna come outside and have a snowball fight?" I Immediately nodded and ran out of the common room, calling out to everyone else, "I'll race you!" With that Fred jumped up, "As if!" George and Ginny laughed to each other, "They're head over heels for each other. It's actually pretty cute." They slowly made their way over to where Fred and I were laughing on the floor after we fell over.

"AHAHA!" Everyone had joined teams the twins versus me and Ginny. Soon Harry and Ron joined in as they had finally made up. "Emily, Ginny! Time to go get ready!" Hermione called to us. "Hermione there's still 3 hours till the ball!" I started complaining but was dragged along by Ginny. "Hermione, who are you going with?" Ron called out to her. Hermione ignored him.
