Harry and Ron woke up to find tons of presents at eh end of their bed. They grabbed them all and headed down the stairs to the common room to meet the girls as they planned last night. Shiann and Hermione were sitting there with loads of presents, Shiann having about ten more from random guys around the school. They all sat down and started opening gifts.
Ron, Harry, and Hermione all got traditional red and yellow sweaters from Mr. and Mrs. Weasley along with bertie bots every flavored beans. Ron also got some new clothes from him mom and he later fond out the his dad earned some extra money and they bought all their kids a new wardrobe.
Harry got his traditional socks from the Dursley's. He had a extra large box from Cho. He was almost afraid to open it because he thought it might be way more than what he bought her. He opened it with time and found "1001 Quidditch Moves" book along with some random candy and at the bottom on the box was a two more boxes the first one had some essentials for quidditch that Harry had been wanting and the other what looked like a photo album. He opened it up to find pictures of his dad and mom when they were younger with friends. He found a picture of his dad with Lupin and Sirius. He found random pictures of Sirus and Lupin. There were a lot of pictures of his mom with another girl. As he looked through the photo album more he started seeing baby pictures of him and then pictures of him from his first year of Hogwarts on. On the last page was a picture of him and Cho and underneath the picture in Cho's handwriting was: Hey Harry I hope you like this. I was talking to my mom this year before school and she told me how my aunt knew your mom real well, so when I went over there before school I found a bunch of pictures of your parents and Sirius and Lupin. You're a great guy Harry and I really hope you like this!
Hermione got new books and clothes from her parents and Ron and Harry both bought her new supplies for school. Neville gave her a potion that helped clear her mind for tests. Victor gave her a necklace; it was on black chain and had a ball hanging on the end. Every once and while there would be a picture followed by the words I love you and another picture of her and Victor. She absolutely loved it and probably will never take it off. Shiann got her a hair straightening solution that promised to straighten hair in minutes. Cho got her new makeup.
Ron got some real cool broom stuff from people, new clothes, tons of jokesters and candy from Fred and George. Hermione and Harry chipped in and bought him a new quidditch uniform. Then he came down to the last present from Shiann. It was shaped in a box almost like a broom and that's the only thing he could think that would fit in there. But most brooms are expensive and why would she spend that much money on a broom for Ron. Well sure enough he opened it to find a broom but not just any broom it was a Quickfire 3000. It was the newest broom out there it had silver streaks with silver in the tail. On the side it had Quickfire carved in silver. It was the best broom and the last Quickfire broom they were making. Not to mention they were sold out for weeks when they went shopping yesterday. Ron stared at Shiann who looked. Hermione and Harry stared at the broom.
"That's a real good broom," Harry said almost jealous.
"I know I don't even care about Quidditch and I know that broom," Hermione said.
Ron looked down in disbelief, "How did you even get it and it must of cost a fortune! I can't take this Shiann,"
"I have my ways and yes you can take it and yes you will," She smiled, "Now you're ready to play you're first match next week,"
Ron smiled, "Yeah I guess,"
Shiann had many gifts. She got flowers and candy from guys around the school that she had to try figure out who they were to thank them. She got new clothes from Cho and Hermione got her a book on spells for last minute beauty disasters. Harry got her some stuff she said she needed from school. Ron waited for her to open his present which he thought would make anything Draco could have gotten her look bad, but he could be wrong. She opened Ron's gift to find a beautiful pure white baby owl. It was in a silver cage and had a name tag tied to it which said precious.
"Oh my gosh, this is so awesome, It's so beautiful!"
"It's so little!" Hermione squealed.
"It's a dwarf owl," Ron said smiling.
"Oh my gods thank you Ron I've always wanted one, I've never had one of my own." She said hugging him. He smiled as he tried thinking anything that Draco could give her that would top that. She started to open Draco's gift, it was in a bag and there was a card and Ron was just guessing it was a poem or something cuz it took Shiann awhile to read it. Then she opened the bag. First she pulled out a bouquet of roses and each rose had a different picture of her or little sayings. Shiann spent 20 minutes reading everyone, then she gave them to Hermione who had to squeal out awww at every saying she read. Then she pulled out a box, in the box was a silver necklace with a picture of Hogwarts on it. It was real nice even Ron had to admit. Then on the bottom of the box was another small pink envelope. Shiann read it out loud: Hey I hope you liked you're gift it took me forever to figure out something real nice to give you, But there's one more thing that I really wanted to give you. Go outside the Gryffindor Tower.
Shiann and Hermione looked at each other before running out to the entrance of the Gryffindor tower. Ron and Harry followed casually before they heard Shiann go oh my god Draco I Love it! They walked to the door to find Draco giving Shiann a hug and Hermione holding a gray and white kitten. It had long soft fur and was so cute. Ron took one look at it before going back to the couch and sat there looking at Shiann's gifts. There was precious ruffling his feathers. Then he saw another box that Shiann hadn't opened yet he grabbed it and looked at the nametag to make sure it wasn't another one of Draco's gifts.
To Shiann
Love Mom and Dad
We miss you and we hope your holding out there!
Ron looked at all the other gifts trying to find one from her sister but he couldn't find one. That's weird there's not one from her sister and he couldn't remember Shiann buying one for her sister yesterday either. This was strange because Shiann had always talked about how much she missed her sister.
Just then they all walked back into the room along with Draco. They sat down Draco right next to Shiann as Hermione held the kitten and Shiann opened the last gift from her mom and dad. She opened the box to find a big envelope she opened it up and pulled a newspaper she held it up at first before she put it back right away without letting anyone see it. Ron and Harry saw the back which had a big picture of a Dumbledore and some other important wizards talking, the headline was Wise Wizards.
"What was that?" Hermione asked petting the kitten.
"Oh nothing just a newspaper I wanted my mom and dad to send me, they kept the paper of the day I was born, I thought it would be cool to have,"
"Oh," Hermione said.
She opened the rest to find tons of clothes and other beauty things from America. They gave her some new books and quills and a box with a silver bracelet with Shiann engraved in it. Everyone guess that Shiann wasn't poor.
They sat there a while longer talking before Shiann asked Draco if he liked the gold necklace and quidditch gloves and equipment she gave him.
"Yeah I like everything and the necklace was awesome, but you didn't have to spend that much on me," He said pulling the necklace from out under his shirt to show her he was wearing it. Ron couldn't help but think that he's the one who helped Shiann pick out that "awesome necklace"
Just then he fat lady came to a portrait hanging by Harry, "Dear I think you're girlfriends outside along with you're boyfriend, Hermione,"
Hermione then jumped up and let Victor and Cho in Cho immediately went to hug Harry as they talked about the photo album she got him. She thanked him for the outfit and earrings he gave her. Hermione and Victor sat on the couch thanking each other for their gifts. Draco sat checking out every gift Shiann got from another guy. It made Ron feel happy that Shiann sat holding precious while he held the kitten. After awhile everyone decided to go meet everyone downstairs, so everyone got ready and headed downstairs. They ate breakfast together and everyone talked about what they got and who they got it from. Harry, Hermione, Ron and Shiann all went to Hagrid's who all gave them different kinds of candy. They all walked back to the Gryffindor common room where Hermione, Cho and Shiann all went to the Ravenclaw tower to hang out in Cho's room, so it was just Harry, Ron, and Neville in the common room. Neville had the daily profit and was reading it.
"Well I'm gonna go downstairs ill talk to you guys later," Neville said getting up.
"Yeah we'll see you later but can I see that daily profit?" harry said as Neville threw it to him.
"Yeah there's not much in it though, just an article about how they don't know where that Olivia Burnes is now,"
"Oh okay," Harry said as he held up the newspaper reading it.
"Harry?" Ron said in a scared almost nervous voice.
"What?" Harry said putting the paper down.
"You know the newspaper Shiann got today from her parents and she said it was form the day she was born?"
"Yeah???" Harry questioned.
"Do you remember seeing the back of it?"
"Yeah it was Dumbledore and everything, it said Wise Wizards or whatever," Harry said like it was nothing.
"Look at the back of that paper Harry," Ron said as Harry turned the paper around to see the exact same picture and the headline "WISE WIZARDS."
