Chapter 14: Christmas Breakfast

In front of Ginny stood a tinted glass sculpture of a snake. It was about two feet tall, very detailed, and green.

'It's beautiful,' Ginny thought. 'He would love this!'

"Excuse me," she had turned to the sales assistant to ask a question.

"Yes, how can I help you?" she asked.

"I was thinking of buying this sculpture for my boyfriend for Christmas... how much does it cost?"

"It costs 200 pounds (I don't know the sign for it, but it's English currency, just so you know)."

"200?!" Ginny asked.

"Yes, but that's not with the Christmas special."

"Oh, ok. How much does it cost then?" Ginny asked.

"It's 100 pounds," the sales assistant said matter of factly.

"I'll take it!" Ginny said after thinking about it for a moment.

"Ok, right this way."

Ginny opened her purse and took out 100 pounds, and handed it to the sales lady.

Ginny had saved up so much that summer, almost 1,500 pounds! Although this present was a lot of money, she knew that the look on Draco's face would be money well spent.

"Here you go," the sales lady said, handing Ginny the sculpture.

"Thank you," Ginny said. "Good bye."

Ginny had said the spell to turn herself invsible before entering Honeydukes. She went back to Hogwarts the way she came, and found herself in the Gryffindor common room twenty minutes later. She snuck up to the sixth year girl's dormitories as quietly as she could. She said the spell to change her back to her normal self. Ginny looked at the clock, it read 10:15 PM.

"Oh my!" she said in a low whisper to herself. "I've been gone for more than three hours!"

Ginny quickly brushed her teeth and took a shower. She jumped into bed, hoping that the no one noticed she was gone.

Just then, the door swung open to reveal Hermione with a look of worry on her face. Ginny sat up in bed.

"What's wrong, 'Mione?" Ginny asked with a yawn.

"You've been here all this time?!" she said in an exasperated voice.

"Yea, I've been asleep since 7:00. I was really tired after dinner," Ginny said.

"I should have looked here first, instead of running around the whole school looking for you!" she said with a laugh.

"I'm glad you are alright, I was so worried about you!"

"I'm sorry, Hermione, I thought I told you."

"It's ok, go back to sleep," Hermione said as she went back down to the Gryffindor common room to tell the others that she had been asleep all this time.

"Phew! That was a close one... really close!" Ginny whispered to herself.

Ginny thought about the sculpture she had bought Draco, and how much he would love it. These were the last thoughts in her mind before she drifted off to sleep.

Ginny woke around 8:00 AM the next morning to see a huge pile of presents at the foot of her bed.

"It's Christmas!" she said aloud.

"Go on, open your presents!" Hermione said excitedly.

"Ok... did you open yours already?" Ginny asked.

"Yep! Thank you so much for your present! I absolutely love it!"

"You're welcome," Ginny said, and turned to her pile of presents.

Ginny opened the present nearest to her. It was from her mother and father. Inside, there was a green knit sweater with a gold G knitted on the left side. There were also home made brownies and other sweets tucked inside.

Ginny opened another present. It was from Hermione. Inside, there was the seven part series of her favorite books.

"Thank you so much!" Ginny squealed, and got up to hug her best friend.

"You're welcome. Keep opening presents, you have a lot more to go!" Hermione said.

Ginny spent the next hour opening all the presents. She had gotten a quidditch book from Ron, a pair of shoes from Bill, earrings from Charlie, candy and other trick sweets from Fred and George, a magical clock from Percy, and a photo album with pictures from Colin. She had also received clothes and other accesories from her friends Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil. She got several other things from other various Gryffindor students, as well.

"These are all so wonderful! I hope everyone liked the presents I got them!" Ginny exclaimed.

"I'm sure they did... let's go down to breakfast," Hermione said.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry, Ron, and Colin were already in the Great Hall eating breakfast.

"Merry Christmas!" Ginny and Hermione said to the three Gryffindor boys.

"Merry Christmas!" they said back.

"Are we the only Gryffindors that stayed in the castle?" Ginny asked.

"Yep," Ron said through a mouthful of eggs.

"I knew a lot of people left yesterday night, but I didn't know that it was this many! I guess everyone left while I was gone," Ginny said with a laugh.

"I thought you said you were sleeping," Hermione said with a questioning tone.

"That's what I meant. I was sleeping, so I wasn't able to see anyone go... I guess I slept through all of the excitement!" Ginny said trying to cover her mistake.

"Oh, alright," Hermione said.

Ginny sat down next to Harry, and Hermione sat down next to her brother.

"Thanks for all of your presents!" Ginny said cheerily.

"Thanks for yours!" they all said, "They were wonderful."

"Yours, too!" Ginny replied.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

They had been laughing and talking for about an hour in the Great Hall. They talked about quidditch, and how disappointed they were to here that there wouldn't be any quidditch next year.

"Can I join you?" came a voice from behind them.
