Chapter 27
The next morning was Christmas. Harry, Ron, and Neville woke up and brought their presents down stairs just as the girls did. They had wanted to open their presents together.
Neville had bought Ariel that charm bracelet that she had wanted and she in turn had given him a Herbiology book that he had been wanting.
Harry had gotten Ginny a soft pink teddy bear, which she thanked him with their first kiss. She gave him a Quidditch book on all of the patterns that you could use.
Ron had gotten Hermione the one that she wanted and had never really hoped to get. He bought her a necklace. It wasn't any ordinary necklace. It was gold and the pendant on it was a simple pink diamond. When she opened she had gasped in surprise.
"How did you?" Hermione asked him. He gave her a smile and kissed her cheek.
"I just did," he said, giving Harry a wink. She kissed him soundly on the lips before giving him his present.
Hermione had gotten him the one thing that Ginny had said that he wanted. It was a real wand. Not a second hand replacement, but a real one. It was mahogany wood. Inside was a dragon heart string and two unicorn tail hairs.
"Hermione!" He said as he grabbed it, an unfamiliar tingling sensation came to his fingertips. He looked up at her.
"It was made for you. Olivander said that he knew that it was yours, but that you didn't have the money for it. He just said that he knew. So I bought it," Hermione answered.
After the presents and the kisses from the couples they decided to go outside for their usual snowball fight.
"Girls against guys!" Harry yelled as he, Neville, and Ron ran across the snow.
"No fair!" Ginny yelled as they ran after them.
"Yes it's fair!" Ron replied.
"No it's not!" Hermione yelled.
They fought until they were too cold to even move and then they went inside for some warming butterbeer. It was the perfect ending to the day.
(yes it was short, but there is more to come. This isn't the end!)
