The next morning Harry woke up and remembered the events of last night, and the way Ron had blown him off about kissing Ginny. He didn't think much of it though, until he got down to the common room. Ginny was sitting next to Hermione talking avidly to her again as Harry came into the room they both looked up and giggled.
"Merry Christmas Harry!" Ron called from across the room. Harry noticed that this year all the students presents were placed under another 12 foot tall tree that was in the common room instead of on top of their beds.
"Merry Christmas Ron, Hermione, Ginny." He said, nodding to each one in turn.
The girls echoed their Merry Christmas and Hermione turned to Harry, "Well, since your up, we can open presents now I'd hope."
Everyone nodded and went to the Christmas tree, bringing back their own piles of presents and sitting in the chairs by the fire. Harry opened the first present which was hastily wrapped in toilet paper, and a bottle of ink fell out on the floor. With it was a note saying, 'You left this here, we have no use for it. Vernon.'
Putting the ink bottle aside he reached for his next present, the light weight and lumpy feel led Harry to know instantly what it contained. He opened it and one of Mrs. Weasly's sweaters fell out onto his lap with a note falling on top of it. It read, 'Dearest Harry, I know your present isn't much, and it's the same every year, but there is another present I would like to give you as well. If you would look through your present pile and find a small box wrapped in the paper the same as this one. Please open it last. All our love, Molly, Arthur, Fred, and George Weasly.'
Harry found the small box and set it on the table next to him by the ink bottle, placing the sweater underneath it. He reached for his next present, opening it and finding a book entitled, "Everything You Would Ever Want or Need to Know About Your Firebolt." Smiling he looked up and thanked Hermione, knowing she was the only one that would ever buy him a book.
His next present was heavier than it looked, he opened it and found an assortment of joke items that Fred and George had been selling the year before. The card on top said, 'Harry, Have fun, you know we are. Fred, George, and Ron' He thanked Ron and reached for the second to last present sitting on the ground in front of him.
Hagrid's present was different from any of the ones he had ever gotten, it had a lot more meaning to it than any book or sweater that anyone could have given him. Inside the small box were photos of Harry and Sirus together. Still trying to figure out how Hagrid had taken the pictures he flipped through them, noticing that they all were from 12 Grimauld Place. He did not catch himself in time and he let a lone tear streak down his cheek, remembering the fact that the last present laying there was not from Sirus, and there would be no present from him ever again. He wiped the tear from his face and reached toward the last present that Mrs. Weasly had sent. Cradling it in his hands for a minute Harry looked down at the small box wondering what it could be. His curiosity got the best of him and he tore off the paper, to find a small ring box. He opened the box and found a diamond ring, reading the note he found tears streaming down his cheeks again.
'Dearest Harry,
This was given to me during your first year at Hogwarts, it was your mother's wedding ring. She loved you a lot Harry, more than you or I can ever imagine. She gave her life for you. Now I am returning this to you, it has powers, that I am sure of, but what type of powers, I'm not sure. Please be careful with it, you may need it later. Please remember, even though no one will ever replace your parents, you still have the Weasly's to come home to.
Love,
Molly Weasly.'
It was not until Ron slapped him did Harry come back to reality, rubbing his cheek that now had a red handprint blossoming on his skin he irritably said, "What was that for?"
"You were getting bloody hysterical! Sobbing and crying, I had to do something! Sorry mate."
"Oh Harry," a soft voice whispered from beside him. Harry looked up and saw Hermione holding the ring and the letter in her hands, tears streaming down her face as well.
Ron read the letter and looked up at Harry, "Sorry 'bout that mate, I didn't know why you were crying."
Harry nodded, glad that he had such great friends, he took his gifts up to the room and dressed for the day, placing his mother's wedding ring on a chain around his neck, not wanting to leave it anywhere where it might be lost.
