Christmas Morning Visitors
"Bear wate uwp!" Charlize yelled excitedly.
Blaire yawned. "Ok, I'm up!" She opened her eyes to her new little sister on top of her, wide eyed and smiling.
Blaire gave her a hug, "Merry Christmas Charlize."
"Mwerrwy Twistmwas to ywou too!" Charlize said.
Blaire picked her young sister up, and placed her on Melanie's bed. "You can wake her up too," she said with an evil grin.
"otay!" Charlize said happily.
"Nope, you don't have to do that, because I'm already up!" Melanie announced as she brushed her long blonde hair.
"C'mon, let's go see what Santa brought!" Blaire said excitedly.
When the girls arrived downstairs, they found they were the last to wake up.
Blaire yawned again.
"Surprisingly you two sleepy heads are the last to wake up. That might not have anything to do with a little midnight ride now might it?" Charlie said with a crooked grin.
The two girls blushed, and gave an embarrassed look,
"How did you know?" Mel asked.
"I went out to give the Dragons a Christmas treat early this morning, and I saw that your brooms were warm." Charlie answered.
"Well that doesn't matter! We're here! So let's open presents!" Grandma Molly said enthusiastically.
The little children were the first to open their gifts, and each of them had received Flamberry Flyer Brooms. The broom's maximum height was fifteen feet, but could be set to a lower altitude. The kids received new robes and each a new Quidditch practice sets with bats. Paul and Penelope got new Nimbus' and Quidditch robes and practice sets too because they both played as chasers on their Gryffindor teams. All the children got new books of their interests, and their stockings filled with sweets and small favors.
Blaire and Malerie first opened their stockings. Each had a letter from Albus Dumbledore approving the use of wand magic on the Conservatory. They had also been sent a new Wizard Chess Set, because theirs had been looking pretty battered. There was wand oil and tones of sweets from friends. They each opened a large box containing Personalized Position Firebolts, new Quidditch robes and gear. Blaire was given a series of encyclopedias about Careers in the Wizarding world, and Malerie was given an encyclopedia of Quidditch. There was a letter from Minerva giving a copy of all the books found in the Hogwarts library (even from the restricted section) for their study. And there was letters from their parents stating the ownership of two new dragons. Blaire was given a newborn Swedish Short- Snout, her favorite breed, and Mel was given the first offspring of the Weasley Firebird. Each of the adults had received new Personalized Firebolts. The girls handed out their gifts for the adults, and then Charlie decided they would show Grandma and Grandpa their new cottage.
Everybody dressed in their new winter gear, and hopped on their new brooms. The children were put in self propelling broom carriages, because some had not learned how to fly. Molly and Arthur rode on their double shafted broom, following their children to their 'gift'. They flew for a long ten minutes, observing the magnificent dragons, until they came to the beginning of the mountains. There was a cottage decorated with greens, and smoke floating carelessly out the chimney. The windows were fogged, and covered with snow.
The Weasleys landed and stood their brooms outside on the porch. Molly and Arthur were the first to There was a kitchen and a living room and stairs leading to a loft bedroom and a spare bedroom.
Molly looked around in awe, "but why?"
"We love you to death mum, but for your and our sake, we feel that it might be therapeutic to have some time away from your angels!" Bill said in all seriousness.
Arthur and Molly looked around some more,
"And what if we can't find our way back to the house?"
"There's a compass on your new broom, just fly south, or even follow the path. It'll take no time at all to get back to the main house."
~
When the rest of the Weasleys' decided to fly home, they found even more gifts had been delivered. Blaire had been sent one from her boyfriend, Andrew, and Mel had been sent a parcel from her boyfriend, and Andrew's paternal (FYI: Paternal means don't look alike) twin, Pete Huntington. The gifts from their friends were there too. Blaire and Melanie took theirs upstairs to open. Andrew had given her some charmed perfume, a Magic Camera and some chocolate frogs. Pete had given Melanie a quaffle signed by the English Quidditch team, a camera and some sweets.
~
It was almost noon, and Blaire had decided that she should check the mail room. She grabbed her new cloak and scarf, and jumped on her new Firebolt, opened the French doors leading on to the balcony, jumped on her broom, a sped away.
She came across three people dressed in black appearing to be trying to sneak across the mountains. Blaire knew better than to try to deal with three grown men herself, so instead she sped back to the house.
"Dad, there's people in the fields!" Blaire announced out of breath.
Charlie came running towards his daughter,
"What?"
"Three men. dressed in black. carrying wands. trekking through. the Short Snout's territory. one. carrying a big bag." Blaire said between breaths.
Soon the adults had mounted their brooms, and were ready to fly out,
"Blaire, you and Mel get those dragons out of there, lead them to the mountains. Use the Petrificus Totalus charm, and then Wingardium Leviosa to take them to the Mountains. It should wear off in an hour. Then hurry back and send a letter the ministry, we need backup, there could be more. Put the kids in the safe room, and put them all to sleep. We might need your help, so I'll attach gas to the back of my broom so it will leave a trail." He paused, "Whatever you do, be careful, Okay, let's move!"
Blaire and Mel sped away, in search of more men with black cloaks. They found six more in the Firebirds domain.
"You take the Firebird, and I'll go and deal with the Swedes."
They sped off in opposite directions.
Blaire found the Short Snouts eating in their paddock, she pulled out her new wand and yelled "Petrificus Totalus!" the dragons were immediately put into a full body bind. She quickly yelled "Wingardium Leviosa" and the three dragons were soon being carried effortlessly to the mountains. Then Blaire remember about her grandparents.
She landed outside on the porch and walked right inside. Molly and Arthur were sitting having a cup of tea reading the Daily Prophet.
"Grandma, Grandpa, grab your brooms, you have to get to the house!"
"What! Why?" Arthur asked concerned.
"Intruders coming through the mountains, there's about ten that we can see, but dad's sure there's got to be more."
"Oh dear," Molly began to get nervous.
"Do you have an owl here?" Blaire asked.
"Yeah, a couple, why?" Arthur answered.
"I need to send an owl to the ministry so they can send back up."
Blaire went upstairs where two owls were perched. She jotted down a quick note, and sent the larger owl off.
She jumped down the stairs,
"Grandma, Grandpa, follow me, we'll need to go through the forest, and then cut back over the lake."
Blaire hopped on her 'bolt, and motion for her grandparents to do the same,
"Okay, let's go. We'll have to fly low through the back of the forest; we don't want them to see us."
Blaire leapt on to her broom, and headed west towards the forest. On their way back to the house, the caught Mel,
"Common, we've got to get back to the house!" Blaire screamed.
They all raced back to the house where the children were playing with their new Christmas toys,
"Okay, Grandma take them to the safe room, and put them to sleep. Grandpa you go too."
"Okay," Arthur replied, "good luck."

It was just about two before three people from the Ministry of Magic apparated to the living room.
"I'm Quinn, and this is Davis and Matt." Quinn said seriously.
"Hello, I'm Blaire Weasley, and this is my cousin Melanie."
"What seems to be the problem?" Quinn asked.
"We have some invaders on our property, most likely heading for the Dragons."
"How many would you say?"
"Well, I saw six heading for the firebird, and Blaire saw three coming for the Swedes."
"Nine-"he was cut off by the loud thuds outside.
Then the adults walked in, carrying seventeen black robed adults.
"What are they under Bill?" Davis asked.
"The thief's curse"
"How long will it hold?"
"Should hold for about ten more minutes."
"Okay, grab their brooms and their wands, and we can wait till the wake up." Quinn ordered.
Blaire grabbed all seventeen wands, and placed them in the cupboard. She took their brooms, and deactivated their flying abilities.
They waited for only five minutes before the invaders' eyes began to blink.
The adults took out their wands, and pointed them at the robbers,
"Don't move!" Matt ordered, "Don't move a finger tip."
~
More ministry workers were called in, and the thieves were arrested. Their wands were snapped, and the wood was burned in the fireplace. The Weasleys' later found that these robbers belonged to the Illegal Dragon hide trading group called HIDE. The Weasleys' picture was taken by the daily prophet, and was placed on the front page with the exciting story written by Blaire and Mel.
