Aria POV
"WAKE UP, IT'S CHRISTMAS!" James, Fred and Al shout as they run into our room and start jumping on our beds.
"C'mon, hurry up, we wanna open our presents." Al whines like an excited toddler.
"Eugh, what time is it?" Dom groans, sitting up. Her blonde hair look like she's been dragged through several bushes and Fred bursts into laughter.
"God, I'm glad I don't share a dormitory with you." He laughs. "I would not want to see that every morning."
"Oh piss off Fred." Dom says jokingly.
I sit up in bed and stretch my arms above me. I glance at the clock on the wall which reads 8a, at least the boys didn't wake us up at 6am or something ridiculous.
"Merry christmas." I yawn. My headache and general fatigue from yesterday seems to have disappeared.
Suddenly I get that familiar lurching feeling in my stomach. Shit. I quickly run to the bathroom and throw up the contents of my stomach.
I feel someone holding back my hair and rubbing my back. I quickly flush the toilet and turn around to find Al leaning against the door frame.
"Are you okay?" He asks, obviously worried because of our trip to Saint Mungo's yesterday.
"I'm fine." I reply, grabbing my toothbrush and cleaning my teeth.
We head down to join the others and I can hear Hugo's excited but impatient voice asking Nana Weasley when everyone else will arrive.
"I was reading a book about pregnancy yesterday." James confesses, his cheeks taking on a red tinge. "And it said that by your sixth month of pregnancy you shouldn't have morning sickness anymore."
"Oh." I reply. "When we're back at school we'll go see Madam Pomfrey but the healer didn't say anything about it yesterday."
"I just want you two to be alright." James smiles, kissing the top of my head.
We enter the lounge where Dom, Rose, Lily, Al, Fred, Hugo, Lucy, Molly, Roxanne, Ginny, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Nana Weasley and Grandad Weasley sit.
It's tradition that the Weasley/Potter children stay at the burrow on Christmas Eve and their parents go home (apart from Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Ron) and the rest of the family join us later.
"Where's Louis?" Dom asks, looking for her younger brother.
"He went home with your parents yesterday Dom." Nana Weasley informs Dom. "Something about feeling homesick, I just think he missed his mum when he was at school."
Louis is in his fourth year now but he was sorted into Hufflepuff and I think he misses the rest of his family sometimes and he might feel a bit detached from the rest of us.
Soon everyone has unwrapped Nana Weasley's infamous christmas jumper and we're all sporting different colour jumpers with our first initials on.
"I'll been knitting another one next year for your little one." Nana Weasley whispers to me, smiling adoringly at me.
I'm so glad that everyone's supporting us so much, I don't know how to repay them.
"Right kids, you better go get ready as the rest of the family will be here soon." Nana Weasley announces, clapping her hands together and shooing us all off to our rooms.
As I'm getting changed I hear Rose gasp from behind me.
"What?" I say, spinning round to face her.
"Is it me or did your stomach get bigger overnight." Lily says, her eyebrows scrunching up in confusion.
I glance down at my stomach and notice that it is a lot more obvious that I'm pregnant now, even with my christmas jumper on you would probably be able to tell.
"Mum!" Lily shouts.
Soon Ginny appears in the doorway wearing her Weasley jumper and a pair of jeans.
"What is it Lily?" She asks.
"Well, we were wondering if it's normal for Aria to of suddenly got bigger like overnight?" Lily asks.
"Oh, don't worry, it's perfectly normal. When I was first pregnant with James I was quite shocked when I woke up one morning and looked in the mirror. I flooed straight here to ask my mum what was happening without even waking Harry up." Ginny laughs fondly. "Now you girls hurry up and get changed, and don't forget to wear your jumpers."
I pull on my favourite pair of ripped, black skinny jeans and my dark green christmas jumper with a golden A on it.
Rose has a red jumper with a golden R, Dom's is blue with a golden D and Lily's is also green (like mine) with a golden L. Nana Weasley does a different colour for each family of the Weasley/Potter clan, so Al and I end up with matching jumpers every year, although mine is noticeably smaller than his.
Percy and his family have yellow jumpers, George and his family have dark purple jumpers and the rest if the family have whatever Nana Weasley feels like.
"Aw, I think it's cute how Nana Weasley gives you the same colour jumper as us." Lily says, linking arms with me as we walk downstairs. "It makes it feel more like we're sisters."
After a rushed breakfast we're chased out of the kitchen where Nana Weasley, Hermione and Ginny have started cooking.
Rose, Fred, James, Dom, Al, Lily and I are lounging around in the front room, when Fred asks James "What're you calling my Godson then?"
"Who said you're the godfather?" James says casually, smirking at his cousin.
"Well I obviously am." Fed smirks back.
"Who said it's going to be a boy anyway?" Dom butts in. "Personally I think it's going to be a girl."
"10 galleons says it's a boy." Fred says.
"15 galleons says it's a girls." Dom retaliates.
"You're making bets on the gender of my baby?" I laugh incredulously.
"We've got to make our money somehow." Al laughs, adding in his bet.
Soon all of them are arguing over the gender of my baby and it's quite amusing.
"What if there's a boy and a girl?" Lily asks.
"Please don't scare me." I say, the idea of having one child is scary enough but two? I don't think I could cope.
"It's definitely one Lils." I laugh.
James is looking at me funny but when I glance over at him he looks away. That's weird.
"James, I think you're really going to love my present." Fred cackles.
"Oh no, what've you done." James replies, ruffling a hand through his messy hair.
When the rest of the family finally arrive we are able to eat the delicious meal that Nana Weasley and the others prepared.
Dom's sitting next to me and she moans as she eats.
"Oh my god Dom will you stop." I laugh and her.
"What? Nothing beats Nana Weasley's cooking." She replies with a wink.
We all eat until we're very, very full and Lily announces that she has a 'food baby'.
"Well, Aria has an actual baby." Al laughs, poking my protruding stomach.
"Oi, watch it." James says jokingly, as he wraps his arms around me form behind. "Hands off my two."
It makes me smile and blush slightly when James says things like that. It makes me feel like we're a little family but to be honest I don't know what's going on with James and I. He said he's in love with me but is that just because we're having a baby together?
"Family photo!" Grandad Weasley shouts. "Everyone into the garden."
We all gather in the giant back garden of the burrow, where Grandad Arthur arranges us so that everyone can be seen. Everybody is wearing their christmas jumper and smiling brightly as the flash on the camera goes off. I'm standing between Rose and Lily as Dom is taller than us she's further back.
After we've taken a few photos we hurry back into the warm house and gather in the lounge which has been magically extended to accommodate everyone.
Nana Weasley hands out everyone's presents from everyone else (as there's too many of us to do it one by one) and we all separate a bit to open them.
I receive some new muggle books from Rose, golden snitch earrings from Lily, clothes from Dom, sweets and WWW products from Fred and Al and some various other things from the rest of the family. I go around and thank everyone for there presents before us girls take our stuff up to our rooms.
"Look what mum and dad got me!" Dom squeals, waving something in my face.
"What is it?" I ask.
"They're tickets to go see The Rowena and the Ravenclaws!" Dom jumps up and down excitedly. "You, Rose and Lily are definitely coming with me!"
"Ok, when is it?" I ask.
"In two months, February 27th." Dom replies.
"Ok, I'll check it's safe with Madam Pomfrey first." I reply.
James appears in the doorway and waltzes into our room.
"Guys, can you leave? I want to talk to Aria." James asks.
"Kicking us out of our own room?" Rose asks, but they leave anyway.
I sit down on my bed and pat the space next to me. James sits opposite me on my bed and smiles cheekily at me.
"What?" I ask, my cheeks heating slightly.
"Nothing, just lean forwards a bit." James smirks.
I carefully lean towards him and surprisingly he kisses me. I don't stop him and he deepens the kiss.
After a few minutes I pull away, his cheeks are slightly flushed and his hair is more messy and I'm sure my lips are swollen slightly.
"Aria..." James starts. "You know how I feel about you and I would like you to be my girlfriend and you're probably going to think it's just because we're having a baby but it's not. I've liked you for a very long time and I- I don't know what I would do without you." James says, his cheeks are red and he's fiddling with a loose string on his jumper.
He finally looks up at me and I can feel the tears brimming in my eyes. I don't know why I'm crying, it must be of happiness.
"Don't cry." James whispers, wiping away a tear that slides down my cheek.
"I don't know why I'm crying." I laugh nervously. "I- I think it's because I'm just really happy. When you told me you loved me I thought you where just saying it because we were having a baby and it broke my heart a little. James, I- I'm in love with you."
James kisses me again, lightly before pulling away.
"You never answered my question." He smirks.
"Of course I'll be your girlfriend you prat." I laugh, hugging the brown haired boy.
"I got you a present." James says, handing me a messily wrapped gift. "I'm sorry about the wrapping but I'm not good at it."
I just laugh at his cheeky smile and kiss him on the cheek. I peel open the wrapping paper and inside is a small, blue box; I open it to reveal a silver necklace with a silver wolf charm hanging from it.
"If you don't like it-" James starts, but I cut him off.
"I love it." I say, beaming up at him. The wolf looks exactly like my patronus.
"I love you." James smiles back at me and winks when I begin to blush.
"I got you something as well, although it probably isn't as good as your present to me." I say, walking over to my bag and pulling out my carefully wrapped gift.
I'm rather nervous about giving it to James but here goes. I watch as he unwraps it and then a huge smiles breaks out on his face.
"I love it." He smiles happily.
I put together all of the photos of us and the others from when we started Hogwarts to now into a massive album. Of course all of the photos are moving as well.
My personal favourite is James and I when I'm in my second year and he's in his third and we're both smiling after the first Quidditch match I played in and we won.
"I remember that day." James smiles fondly. "That's the first time I realised how much I liked you, and in more than a friend way."
James and I talk for another half an hour before Ginny calls us downstairs.
"James!" Fred shouts when we're all sitting in the lounge talking amongst ourselves. I just finished a conversation with Angelina about all the options I could have with Quidditch.
"What?" James replies suspiciously.
"I forgot to give you your present earlier." Fred smirks, on no this can't be good.
He chucks James a badly wrapped box and James unwraps it.
When I see what it is my cheeks heat up and James bursts out laughing.
"Don't be silly, wrap your willy!" Fred cackles before James chases him out of the room.
A/N: aren't you lucky, another chapter already.
I hope you like this one. I want to say a massive thank you to 'Messed Up Reality' for you idea about Fred's gift to James. I just couldn't not include it :)
Remember to review as I love hearing what you think of the story so far.
Thank you for reading :*
