Hedwig And Christmas Cookies
"Aaaaa I absolutely love the holidays" Gordon said to no one in particular. As he took fresh baked sugar cookies in christmas shapes out of the oven. "Now who wants to help me decorate them" Gordon Tracy shouted. Seconds later he heard footsteps coming down the hall smiling to himself Gordon Tracy knew who they belonged to. "COOKIES!" Danny Tracy shouted and tried to swipe one from the cooling rack. Gordon quickly saw this and quickly swatted Danny's hand away.
With his back turned once again Gordon said "You wouldn't want to eat them all and not leave anything for Santa." Grabbing whatever he needed out of the fridge Gordon set all his supplies down and looked at Danny who was about to cry. Sighing Gordon decided to make a compromise with Danny and said "How's this Danny boy you help me decorate them and you can have one after dinner." Danny Tracy instantly agreed with his Uncle Gordon. As Gordon placed Danny on the seat next to him he looked over and saw a rather bored looking Harry Potter looking up at the ceiling. "Hey Harry want to help decorate some christmas cookies?" Gordon asked Harry.
Teenaged Harry simply shurgged his shoulders as he thought to himself that he had nothing better to do. I mean it would be a lot better than staring at the ceiling. As Harry and Danny picked a cookie and began to decorate them with an assortment of sweet things. While Danny and Harry continued to decorate till their heart's content. Gordon noticed one cookie left on the cooling rack that no one touched; and it was in the shape of a certain owl that everyone else seemed to love and he was the only one that hated that bird. Gordon also sensed that the bird in question was nearby and he was right.
Hedwig was watching him not to far away daring him to mess up his cookie look made Gordon sweat a little bit. It looked like he was going to have to call for backup and Gordon Tracy just knew who to call and his name was Virgil Tracy. A slightly annoyed Virgil appeared seconds latter wondering what Gordon could want? Virgil couldn't understand why Gordon of all people couldn't give him any peace and quiet after all he just came back from a rescue. Coming into the kitchen Gordon asked "Virgil I need your help painting a cookie for me?"
"That's what you called you me over for!" Virgil said exasperated. "Forget it Gordon just forget it!" Virgil said walking away. Gordon who was by now pleading with Virgil said "Virgil please hear me out your the artistic brother in the Tracy family; and I am afraid of messing up Hedwig's image because that bird will not leave me alone if I do." "Ok fine Gordon!" Virgil said reluctantly agreed finally giving into Gordon's constant pleading. "Quit your whining already Gordon I'll do Hedwig's cookie alright" Virgil said.
Gordon felt like a ton of weight was lived off this shoulders and true to his promise Virgil stayed and copied Hedwig's image on to the cookie and that's how the rest of the family found them Gordon, Danny, Harry and Virgil all decorating christmas cookies.
