Starstruck [H.S.]

Tofurkey

Harry's POV

"Haz...Haz...Haz...Haz...Haz...Haz"

"What?" I opened my eyes. Disoriented and confused. Something is poking my face. A small finger.

"Oh good you're awake!" Evelyn's face is inches from mine.

I let out a startled noise and she grins.

"Merry Christmas!" She climbs onto the bed. "This is for you." Evelyn hands me a wrapped present. "You have to open it right now. Immediately."

I feel the bed start shaking. Curled up against me is Aspen, and she is cracking up.

"Can I have two seconds?"

"No. Has to be right now."

I blink my eyes a few times trying to get my brain together.

I sit up. Running my hands through my hair and letting out a yawn. "Okay Bug. Let me see."

I take in her outfit. She has changed into a sparkly red Christmas dress, knit tights and a white sweater. She has taken out one of her braids and left the other in. "EvieBug... what's going on with your hair?"

"I started to take it out, but then I got impatient. I have too much stuff to do to worry about my hair." She waves her hands towards the present. "Come on Haz open it!"

I can't help but laugh. Elizabeth stumbles into the room, leaning against the wall. Her hair is a mess. Sticking in every which direction. Which means that she took the t-shirt off of her head in the middle of the night. She's still in her pajamas, and her eyes are hardly open.

The differences between the two of them never cease to amaze me.

"Come up here Bean." I pat the bed next to me. "Is this from you to?"

She stares at me like she's trying to comprehend what I am asking her. "Yeah sure." She answers while flopping on the bed and closing her eyes.

She's like Aspen in the morning. Where as Evelyn is like me. Ready to be up early and entirely too energetic to be considered normal.

Evelyn is watching me impatiently. I tear into the wrapping paper pulling out a knit jumper. My mouth drops. "You made this?"

"We all helped. Emma crotched it. Elizabeth and I stuck all the stuff to it."

Aspen bursts out laughing. "Crochet Bug."

"That's what I said." Evelyn rolls her eyes.

I stare at the jumper. It's hideous, but in the best ways. It's a dark forest green with white stripes. Little red baubles have been sewed on, and right in the middle is a llama wearing a Santa hat. Complete with fur.

"I love it. Thank you so much."

"I made all the gifts from me, because I don't have a job." Evelyn states matter of factly.

I start laughing again. She keeps me in stitches constantly.

"Can you guys get up now? I wanna go give everyone their gifts." Elizabeth mumbles.

"I wanna open mine." Evelyn's eyes are wide.

"Evelyn..." Aspen warns.

"I'm 5. I like getting stuff, whaddaya want?"

I pull my lips into my mouth to keep from laughing again. "Give us a few minutes to get ready and then we can go downstairs."

Evelyn opens her mouth and before she can get the words out Aspen cuts her off. "If you ask how many minutes the time doubles. Go into your room and straighten it up, take your hair the rest of the way our of your braid. Elizabeth..."
