"Hurry up Ron we're already running late!" Ginny yelled from the bottom of the staircase, her arms crossed and her face furious, he couldn't see but she was glaring at him through the walls.

Hermione was sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of tea in her hand reading the Daily Prophet, already dressed and ready to go, her bushy hair french plaited by Ginny. She was dressed in dark blue jeans and a singlet with a light jumper, prepared to take off in a few hours when she got her traditional jumper from her mother in law.

Ginny was in her red jeans and her black Wicked Sisters t-shirt which her mother hated, so she was wearing her teal jumper over the top. Winding up the banister was tinsel, and fairy lights, Christmas decorations hung on all the walls, and a Merry Christmas sign hung where the house elves heads once resided. But Ginny was not full of Christmas cheer as she waited at the bottom of the staircase, impatiently tapping her fingers against her thigh as she glared up the stairs at her brother.

"I don't know why you're yelling at me, Harry's still in the shower." Ron moaned as he came running down the stairs, he kissed Ginny on the cheek before whispering, "Merry Christmas sis." He smiled at Ginny then headed to the kitchen to chat to Hermione.

"Still in the.. argh." Ginny groaned as she smiled at Ron who disappeared into the kitchen, and she stormed upstairs to find Harry. As she drew closer to the bathroom she could hear the shower running, pulling out her wand, she unlocked the door and it flew open in front of her revealing a very much empty room.

"Harry!" Ginny exclaimed her eyes scanning the room looking for any anomalies. Chuckling, he pulled his invisibility cloak off and smiled at Ginny, fully dressed and ready to go.

"Ron lied." Ginny added lamely, blushing slightly as Harry's grin broadened.

"Yes. I thought the running shower was a nice touch." Harry said, turning off the shower and turning back to face Ginny, he folded his cloak and with a flick of his wand sending it sailing past her and into his room.

"We're running late." Ginny said, attempting to change the subject and trying not to smile at Harry but failing miserably on both accounts.

"Merry Christmas Ginny." Harry said as he stepped forward flicked his wand again and caught a yellow rectangular box as it sailed into the room. Handing it to Ginny, he smiled as he carefully watched her expression. Ripping off the wrapping paper Ginny opened the lid and her face lit up.

"It's gorgeous!" Ginny shrieked, which was very unlike her, but the necklace that lay before her was the most beautiful piece of jewellery she had even seen.

"No you're gorgeous, this will just add to it." Harry said, picking up the necklace from the box and stepped beside Ginny. Brushing her hair away, he placed the necklace onto her neck and did up the clasp.

"Merry Christmas Harry." Ginny said swirling around to face him as soon as the necklace was on, letting the box fall to the floor she wrapped her arms around his neck and forgetting about the time, she pulled him into a passionate kiss.
