Surprise by Luvscharlie

Hermione had spent the day Christmas shopping in Muggle London with her mother. Fred's patience was growing thin and his bum was growing cold as he waited for her return. He was stretched out beneath the Christmas tree posing like a centerfold in one of those magazines hidden beneath Ginny's mattress, wearing only a length of silver tinsel draped around his neck.

He was just beginning to think that she might never return home when he saw the handle to the door of their flat jiggle.

Hermione flung open the door and shrieked his name.

"See something you like, love?" Fred asked.

Hermione's mother stepped out from behind her daughter and looked over her shoulder. "Indeed I do," she said with a snigger.

Fred scrambled to cover himself as a string of expletives spilled forth from his lips.


Ms. Granger's laughter could be heard echoing down the corridor as she left their flat.

"Fuck!" Fred swore again.

"I'd say that sums it up nicely," Hermione responded.

"Yeah," he said. "I think I'll just get dressed."

"The hell you will," Hermione said, dropping down to her knees beside him and throwing her leg across his hips. "You're beneath my Christmas tree, which I believe makes you my gift to do with as I please."

Fred folded his hands behind his head and grinned up at her. "Use me, baby. I am yours, indeed."
