Late chapter number 2. Next one will be up momentarily.
Note: I had no idea what to do with this prompt either.
Dec. 10, 2012 Prompt: Boot
Mister Weasley gazed proudly at his mantlepiece. Harry and Ron's families were both staying for Christmas, so he wanted to try out some muggle traditions this year. Apparently muggle kids hung old boots from the fireplace. Well, try as he might, he couldn't get the boots to hang by themselves, and he didn't want to use magic, so he hoped it was okay if he just set them on the mantle. Mrs. Weasley came in and gave her husband a strange look, but decided not to question it.
The next day, Harry and Ron's families arrived. The kids all instantly began running around in the yard, while Mrs. Weasley warned them to stay out of the garden. Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione came into the house smiling, but gave Mr. Weasley inquisitive looks when they spotted the mantle. Now he looked puzzled too.
"Isn't it a muggle tradition? Hanging boots from the fireplace?"
Ginny laughed, rolling her eyes at her father. "Silly dad, it's stockings, not boots!"
I was hoping I didn't have to do this but...Review, please?
Answer to last chapter's question: I want a Hippopotamus for christmas. I WANT A HIPPOPOTAMUS FOR CHRISTMAS! ONLY A HIPPOPOTAMUS WILL DO!
This chapter's question: What's the weirdest Christmas gift you've ever recieved?
Peace, Love, and Joyeux Noël,
