This will be my last chapter. I think I've wrapped it up nicely and unless there is anything specific you want to see in an epilogue I think I'm just going to stick a fork in it and call it done! I'll Give You The World will be restarting at it's regular scheduled programing with a post on Christmas Day! Merry Christmas!
Christmas Day started bright and early, as it always did, in the Weasley house. People were up at the crack of dawn, rushing from room to room, making sure that no one would sleep in and miss the morning. The youngest house members were sitting by the tree practically bouncing in their seats as they waited for everyone else to join them. Ginny was holding her stocking in her lap and taking peeks at the chocolate sitting at the top every few seconds. Hermione caught her after a few minutes and threw her a scandalized look. "Ginny! We have to wait for everyone else!" The red head just stuck out her tongue and tried not to fidget anymore.
Molly finally took pity on the congregation in the living room and sat down in her chair. "Alright everyone, you can open your gifts now." The next moment looked like the room exploded in paper and chaos. People were shouting their 'thank you's and parading around with their new presents. Everyone had static hair from pulling their jumpers over their heads, pajama collars sticking out the top. Fleur made eye contact with Molly amidst all of the chaos and nodded thanks as her hair floated around her face like a halo.
When it looked like the insanity was going to calm down soon, Molly stood and made her way into the kitchen to whip up a quick Christmas Morning Meal. After a few minutes George wandered in and smiled at his mother. "Happy Christmas Mum."
"Happy Christmas George." She gave him a kiss on the cheek as she passed by.
He wandered back into the mayhem and sat down next to Hermione, watching Harry and Ron play with Ron's brand new chess set. Ron was confused by the Muggle set that Hermione had given him but was still able to trounce Harry with ease.
"Happy Christmas Mione."
"Happy Christmas George." Hermione said, holding out a Christmas cracker. He smiled and took it from her, pulling it apart and starting when the whole thing exploded glitter on him. Hermione burst out laughing and a green sparkly George just stared with his jaw practically touching the ground.
"Did you do that on purpose Granger?" George couldn't have been prouder; the bossy little swot was actually pranking someone! George was less pleased that it was himself but it was still a momentous occasion.
Hermiome nodded and leaned over to whisper in his ear, dusting off some of the glitter that had splattered onto her. "I'll tell you a secret; I made a bunch and swapped out the regular crackers for mine. Breakfast is going to be fun this morning."
George tossed his head back and let out a big belly laugh. "If I knew you were this much fun would've stolen you away from ickle Ronnikins years ago!" He pulled her into a hug, trying to smear as much green glitter onto her as possible.
Breakfast was done and everyone was sitting around the table, holding their Christmas crackers. With a tug and an almighty pop the table exploded in a rainbow of glitter. As the sparkles settled Ron could be heard groaning. "Now the leftovers are ruined!"
