Chapter 7: An unexpected host.

On the 25th of December I was woken by something large and warm jumping on me.

"Ginny!" I exclaimed happily and we hugged, bouncing around like 5 year olds on Christmas day. Which wasn't an entirely wrong metaphor. After giggling some more, pulling on our dressing gowns and slippers and grabbing the presents for everyone else we ran downstairs and burst into the living room. Christmas day was the only day of the year that the Weasleys woke up early, and the whole Weasley family plus Harry and me up and downstairs by 6:30am just proved my point.

"YAY!" Everyone cheered when me and Ginny ran in then dived for the presents, and for a few minutes all that was heard was the ripping of paper and occasional, loud exclamations of joy from recievers. I, however, liked to open my presents more slowly.

After arranging the presents that said 'Mione' in size order and shaking them to see if I could guess what was in them, I slowly started unwrapping them.

"Thankyou so much Mrs. Weasley!" I shouted joyfully over the racket. She merely smiled at me happily before turning back to the twins who were acting like 5 year olds and jumping ariund st there presents. Mrs. Weasley had given me a nice red jumper with a gold 'H' on it and two tins of homemade fudge. Plus a necklace that had been in her family for centuries, but she felt that as I was pretty much her daughter, I should have.

Percy gave me a brand new book of the all the laws, old and new. Which you made think is weird, but I was realky thankful for. Charlie bought me a big book on dragons and some gummi dragons. (Sweets that made you breath fire until you eat the sweet that stops it.). Bill, Fleur and Victiore got me a dainty bracelet and earring with matching silver birds. Fred and George got me a copy of 'Hogwarts a History', which surprised me immensely until I opened it and got spurted by ink, recieving torrents if laughter. They also gave me a tin of Ribbeting Rhubarb cake (one of their own inventions. Incase I ever felt like turning Kyran into a frog for half an hour). Ron also gave me a book. But it was a book written about us! It was called 'The Golden trio' and it was written by Roberta Thomas. Well you couldn't exactly defeat Voldermort and not have hundreds of books about it. Only this one was completely accurate though, because we had given the infirmation fir this ourselves. Ginny gave me a dress. It was red with a gold belt and straps (yes, I am into the Gryffindor colours).

Harry's present though, was by far my favourite. It was a photo album. Full of enchanted photo's that waved and dance and smiled at us. Best of all. It was of us three, me, Harry and Ron. The Golden trio. Somehow he had tracked down pictures of us in every year. Some were from when we were Hocrux hunting and some were me and my mum and dad. Then, at the very end, was the picture I loved the most. It had my 11 favourite people in it and me. It was a family photo of the Weasleys, Harry and me.

After I gave everyone there presents I was dragged upstairs by Ginny who insisted on doing my makeup and hair and dress me up for my dinner with Kyran and his family. I decided not to protest. There was no point.

After my shower, Ginny forced me into the dress she bought and I wore the necklace from Mrs. Weasley. Obviously Ginny had one too. Mrs. Weasley couldnt go and leave out her real daughter now could she? Ginny then shoved my 'engagement' ring on my finger. If you can call it that, it was the one that he had just thrown at me. It was gorgeous though. I had to admit. It even had a sapphire in the middle which was my birthstone. I didnt know how he knew that but due to the mischievous grin that had appeared on Ginny's face when I mentioned it, i think it was down to Ginny.

Anyway, after I was dressed Ginny started brushing my hair and applying my makeup at the same time. Surprisingly she didnt make any mistakes with my makeup. That girl can multi-task! After my makeup she moved into my hair which was now pretty much dry.

Whilst Ginny was casting a spell on my hair (which was up in a casual but elegant bun) to keep it in place I heard a POP of apparation and then somebody knocked on the door.

As soon as Ginny let me, I ran downstairs and bounded into the kitchen in a very unlady-like manor. Kyran was standing in the corner again, checking his watch every so often. I secretly checked to see if I had his present in my bag (I did) then I cleared my throat. This caused him to look up. He looked momentarily speechless by my appearance before her regained his composure and looked directly at me.

"Finally, you're down." He began rudely. When I didnt respond he continued. "Change of plan I'm afraid. We have been invited to my cousin's house for christmas. So we shall be eating there." I nodded. Atleast I would have even more people to talk to. He held out his elbow and we linked arms and disapperated.

When our feet hit solid ground the first thing I noticed was the black, metal gates and looming walls of... Malfoy Manor?!

"Oh [insert rude word here ;P]"
