Episode 2 : Merry Kiss-mas
Chapter 1
Finally Harry had found a use for Hedwig's old cage. He had stuffed the annoying dragon, which he had named Norbert Jr in memory of Hagrid, into it and place a barrier spell on it. Nothing but food could enter or leave the cage. Norbert Jr squeaked comically as Harry slid him a piece of chicken before leaving the his room.
To Harry's surprise not only was Ron fully dressed but he also had a briefcase in his left arm and was quickly woofing down cereal with his right.
"Where are you off to then ?" Harry said, suddenly wondering if his clock had stopped, it was 6:30. Ron quickly finished his mouthful before speaking.
"To work," Harry's shock was doubled because of the date.
"But it's Christmas eve !" Ron got to his feet and quickly used the Accio spell to get his coat and shoes.
"Exactly," Ron said tying his laces, "I need to buy you presents." And that was the last of it as Ron marched over to the fireplace and said loudly, "Diagon Ally !" Harry quickly sat himself in Ron's seat and stared up at the marvellous tree. Hermione had really out done herself this year. The tree had magical decorations of snow flakes that twirled and fell to the floor ever so often before disappearing and little dragons that flew round the tree, squawking. Harry rubbed his eyes before flicking the TV. The weather told him there was only a very slim chance of a white Christmas. Harry paid little attention and was asleep by the time Hermione woke up. She left him, he deserved a break.

Ron was pleasantly surprised when he arrived at a desk with neat little paper stacks of different colours and a pot full of red and white pens. George ushered him to sit.
"Basically all you have to do is pick up the green paper then..." Ron found out what to do quickly and was soon on his way. If the paper work was done by that evening Ron would be paid double what he would an hour if it wasn't. He was going to take no breaks. Harry and Hermione deserved great presents.
