Madam Pomfrey brought in two large trays of lunch for Harry and Ginny. She then brought in several small plates of food for the kids. The rest of the staff were told to go eat in the great hall. So reluctantly they once again left there kids behind and went to eat. The kids woke up just as Harry and Ginny were finishing their meals. The always-hungry three and one year olds quickly converged on the food. Tina using a sip cup and her hands, the rest using small regular cups and small spoons.
Hagrid came in to the hospital wing first, a giant Christmas tree floating behind him. He looked proud at using magic to do something, for so long he had to drag the heavy tree behind him then clean up the inevitable mess after word. Harry and Ginny clapped with wide grins, and the kids followed the adult's examples and did the same. Hagrid beamed and quickly set the tree up and charmed it to stay up right. Ginny conjured a massive amount of decorations to place on the tree and then got up and began to decorate the tree. The kids abandoned what little food they had left to grab some decorations and place them at the bottom. Harry just sat back watching over his giant stomach with a smile. Before they new it, Ron, Hermione, Draco and Minivra reappeared and began to help decorate.
Harry grinned as he accioed his presents to everyone and placed them on the giant stack, then conjured a giant gold sparking star which as soon as everyone was done, he levitated up to the top of the tree.
Everyone in the room smiled as they looked at the tall proud tree before them even if it was New Years Eve. Ginny helped the protesting Harry in to the unwanted wheel chair Poppy had ordered him to use, then wheeled him in front of the tree. The kids looked longingly at the many presents that quadrupled the amount Harry had ever seen at the Dursleys, even with the ever-spoiled child they called Dudley. Poppy walked in and added a pile from herself, then the room suddenly became fuller as Mrs. Weasley, Mr. Weasley with his video camera, Fred and his girlfriend Hajna. George and his girlfriend Emilia (Hajna's twin). Percy and Penelopy. Charley and Sydney, and Bill and Suzette. Then much to everyone's surprise Mr. and Mrs. Granger walked in wide-eyed at all the magic inside what looked to them ruins, from the outside.
The group began singing Christmas carols, everyone smiling and laughing. Mrs. Weasley fussed over her daughter and son-in-law making sure they were comfortable. Everyone wanted to touch Harry and Ginny's bellies much to their annoyance. However, they just grinned and ignored the constant hands on there midsection. People danced, and the children played and soon it was evening and time to open presents. Draco played Santa as he passed out the presents to everyone, the kids did not wait to open there's they just tore right in. When one was to slow, like Tina, they helped them right along. After tearing in to there own, they went after the adults, until every last present had been opened. That's when they noticed there were cool toys in their own presents. Squeals of joy could be heard and Lily and Julie got into a tug a war fight over a doll, each yelling, "mine!" They had both been given the same doll, with the exception of the color hair tie in the dolls pigtails, so that was settled fairly quick. Everyone smiled as thank you was passed around the room.
The video recorder kept rolling as everyone moved to the great hall to eat a Christmas/New Years feast with what was left of the student population (three students who had joined the party.) The children were falling asleep in their food, so Harry conjured a large mattress for them to sleep on at the back of the room. A silencing charm formed a bubble around them so that everyone could talk as loud as they wanted to and not worry about waking anyone up. Meanwhile Hermione conjured a giant clock, which told everyone it was ten o'clock. Someone turned on a wireless radio and amplified the music, a brand new Weird Sisters song. Before anyone new it, a karaoke competition was going and everyone including Harry was surprised to find out he had a nice voice. McGonagall was especially surprised because Lily and James had terrible singing voices and no beat, which they used to joke about. Everyone was laughing as Hermione stepped down face red, after singing a crazy Weird Al Muggle song about Star Wars, when a loud dong interrupted the group. Everyone looked up at the clock to find there was less then a minute until midnight. Streamers and horns were picked up as the countdown began.
"10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Happy New Year!!!" Everyone yelled, cheered and blew anything that would make noise. They were just beginning the song Old enzyme when a giant bang at the front doors of the school made everybody stop "Are we expecting anyone?" Ginny asked, wide eyed.
"No." Minivra stated. I'll go see what's happening." With that she walked out of the great hall. Everyone else pulled out there wands and waited. Suddenly a loud scream could be heard all over the castle.
