Chapter 20

Merry Christmas Everyone!

2 days later Harry was lying on his bed after dinner. "It's Christmas tomorrow. I can't wait," said Ron as he bounced up and down on his bed. Harry sighed. He had known allowing Ron to drink muggle soft drink would be a bad idea. But did the girls listen to him? Nnnnooo! Now he was stuck with an over excited bouncing Ron. "Ron calm down!" said Harry. Ron was jumping up and down waving his hands in the air. "Sorry no can do, no can do. I feel like singing! I think I'll go find the girls," sang Ron. Ron turned and hopped out of the room and Harry could hear him down the hall. "U.G.L.Y! You ain't got no alibi you UGLY! Stop right now, thankyou very much I need somebody with a human touch! Hey Mickey you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mine. HEY MICKEY! HEY HEY, HEY MICKEY!" sang Ron, really badly off key.

"Ronald Weasley shut up!" shouted Ginny. Harry heard a loud whack! "Ow, don't do that" came Ron's whiny voice. Soon Harry heard footsteps. "Make him stop!" demanded Ginny from the doorway. "Sorry Gin. No can do. It's the soft drink; it's made him go crazy. I told you not to give him any," said Harry. "AHH!" groaned Ginny throwing her hands in the air. "IF YOU WANNA BE MY LOVER YOU HAVE GOT TO GIVE. TAKING IS TO EASY, BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT IS! WHY DOES IT ALWAYS RAIN ON ME? IS IT BECAUSE I LIED WHEN I WAS 17! I WANT CANDY! I WANT CANDY! WHOA BLACK BETTY! BAM A LAM! WHOA BALCK BETTY! SOMEDAY, SOMEHOW, I'M GOING TO MAKE IT ALL RIGHT, BUT NOT RIGHT NOW! NOTHING BUT A RICH GIRL, NA, NA NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA! SAY MY NAME, SAY MY NAME! WHEN NO ONE IS AROUND YOU SAY BABY I LOVE YOU!" warbled Ron.

"HE SO CAN'T SING" shouted Hermione over the noise from her room. "THIS LOVE HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL ON ME….." warbled Ron. "Please shut him up. I know he's my boyfriend but come on no one can put up with this torture." Shouted Brooke over Ron. Harry came to the doorway and saw her standing next to Ron with her hands over her ears. Hermione had her head out the door trying to be heard over the noise. "Hey my beautiful girlfriend. Tomorrows Christmas" shouted Ron. "Ekk!" shouted Brooke as Ron picked her up, twirled her round and put her back down.

"DECK THE HALLS WITH BOWS OF HOLLY. SANTA CLAUSE IS COMING TO TOWN. RUDOLPH THE RED NOSE REINDEER, HAD A VERY SHINY NOSE!" sang Ron running up and down the hallway. "What do we do?" asked Brooke. "I have no idea. We get him to take a sleeping potion or wait till he wears himself out," shouted Harry. "SHE WILL BE LOVED" warbled Ron. "I say the potion," shouted Hermione. "We can't there's none left" shouted Ginny. Harry gulped. "How many did he drink?" asked Harry. "He drank seven," shouted Hermione. Oh boy thought Harry. "SILENCIO" shouted Brooke pointing her wand at Ron. "AHH" breathed the three as Ron's voice halted. Ron was of course still singing at the top of his lungs, unaware that no one could hear him. "Thank God!" said Brooke. "To right. I'm going to bed," replied Hermione walking back to their bedroom. "You girls go to bed I'll take him back to our room." Said Harry. The remaining two girls said goodnight and Harry dragged Ron back to their room. Harry was already in his pyjamas so he crawled into bed. Ron was putting his pyjamas and was still singing and hopping around.

When Harry fell asleep Ron had been pretending to be an owl, flapping his hand as if he was "flying". That night Harry had a dream that Ron was Santa and wouldn't give people presents because he was too busy pretending to fly around the room. When Harry woke up he remembered his dream and laughed at the thought. Harry looked at the foot of his bed. 'PRESENTS!' thought Harry. Harry saw that Ron was lying on his bed sideways so he was half on the bed/half off it. In his left hand was an empty can of coke. Ron had his mouth open and his tongue was sticking out. The weird thing was he had a shirt on that said, "I'm the flying pig lord!" with a picture of a flying pig beneath it.

"What did he do last night on that sugar high?" wondered Harry. He climbed out of bed and got changed into a pair of baggy jeans and a black t-shirt. He went over and shook Ron, "Ron wake up! It's Christmas. Wake up you git!" said Harry. "What? Harry? What happened?" mumbled Ron. "You had a sugar high. It was the girls fault." Said Harry. Ron slid down to the floor. "Sugar High? Oh man, last time I had one of those, I woke up at a muggle camp for talented people. You know, singing, acting. I was also dressed as a girl," mumbled Ron. Harry laughed. "Well you didn't do that this time. You sang all these songs, and you were really off key. You hopped around, danced and did some weird things. When I feel asleep you were pretending to be flying around the room like an owl. You also gave yourself the title of 'the flying pig lord'. I told them not to give you sugar" said Harry.

"Oh God. I sang. That's terrible. Sorry to put you through the torture." Groaned Ron getting off the floor and making his way to the bathroom. 10 minutes later he came back dressed and was considerably looking better. "Merry Christmas Ron!" said Harry. Ron grinned. "Yeah Merry Christmas. Lets get out presents and take them down to the lounge room. We can open them there with everyone else" said Ron.

Harry and Ron picked up all their presents and went off the lounge room. When they got there, almost everyone else was in there. "MERRY CHRISTMAS" shouted the two boys, sitting down. "Merry Christmas" shouted everyone. The presents from under the tree were handed out to everyone and they began to open them.

Harry got a homework diary again from Hermione. As did Ron. From Ginny he got a pocketknife. Ron gave him a book on the quidditch team from Ireland. Mrs Weasley gave him some peppermint chocolate and a green jumper with little gold snitches on the bottom. Fred and George had given him joke shop products. From Tonks he received a book- HOW TO MASTER THE MOVES TO KARATE. Harry reached for a package wrapped in silver with a red ribbon. Harry opened it to find a black book. On the front in gold writing it read- How to uncover metamorphmagus' and everything else you need to know about Metamorphing.

'Cool' thought Harry. Harry looked at the tag so he could thank the person. The card read. To Harry, From The Guardian. There was no other indication of who sent it. 'Must have been Remus'. "Thanks for this cool book Remus." Said Harry. Remus looked over to him and down at the book. "That's not my present. My present is just there," said Remus pointing to a present wrapped in blue with gold ribbon. "Oh, than who sent me this?" said Harry. Mr Weasley who had been listening was concerned. "What does the card say and what is the book Harry?" asked Mr Weasley. "It just says To Harry, from The Guardian. The book is about metamorphmagi," said Harry.

"Hey, I got that book too from someone named The Guardian" said Brooke from near the fireplace holding up an identical black book to Harry's. "That is very odd. Should we have Dumbledore or Bill look over the books?" asked Mrs Weasley in concern. Remus shrugged as he took the book from Harry. He flipped it open and went through the pages. He got out his wand and muttered something. A white spreading light came out of the wand. He waved his wand over the book and the light stayed white. "Well from my scan there doesn't appear to be any spells on the book." Said Remus. "Well, alright, they can keep the book," agreed Mrs Weasley. "But if there any sign the books have been tampered with, they're going straight in the fire". Harry and Brooke nodded and went back to their presents.

From Remus, Harry got a DVD- Lord of the Rings I, II, III and a New CD for his Stereo- Usher. "You have to watch Lord of the rings Harry, you'll love it. Its quite funny, there's wizards, elves and hobbits" said Remus. "Cool!" replied Harry. "Harry can we please watch it" begged Ron. "Sure, we'll watch it".

They did some more unwrapping in which everyone loved Harry's gifts and Moody had arrived and given them all Foe Glasses. Moody growled, "You all know that evil is always lurking around. You must always have…"

"CONSTANT VIGILANCE!" roared everyone in the room. Moody merely growled, "Don't take it lightly. You never know when a death eater is going to try and kill ya" Everyone nodded and went pack to their presents. When all the wrapping paper was cleared away and presents taken up to each person's room they all met back in the dining room for Breakfast. Mrs Weasley had made all the normal foods but had ordered everyone not to each too much so they wouldn't spoil Christmas Lunch.

After Breakfast Harry and Ron had taken the DVD from Remus and went to the muggle room. Harry slipped in the first disc labelled- "Lord of the Rings- Fellowship of the ring". They had just settled in comfortably when the girls showed up wanting to watch it too because they were bored already. They were around halfway through the movie and everyone was enjoying it when Remus came in. "Its time for lunch. Pause the movie and get your butts to the dining room" said Remus. "AWWWW!" they cried but grudgingly agreed to pause it. They followed Remus back to the dining room and found it even more decorated than it had been before. There was Christmas plates, cups and cutlery. There were also Christmas crackers to pull with the person next to you. Harry was hoping for a normal type of hat this year.

Harry sat on one side of the table with Brooke, Ron, Ginny and Hermione. Across from them sat Fred, George, Charlie, Bill and Moody. At one end of the table were Remus and Tonks and on the other end were Mr and Mrs Weasley. Percy had been invited to Christmas lunch but he had turned the invitation down which had upset Mrs Weasley greatly.

As everyone began to pile his or her plates with Mrs Weasley's delicious food, Harry was watching Mrs Weasley. She seemed a little teary eyed and who could blame her, having Christmas without all her children was upsetting. Harry remembered all the hurtful things Percy had said to his parents; Mrs Weasley had been distraught for days, weeks even. He wished he could make her happy. Harry looked around and realised that even if the Weasley's were smiling, he could see in their eyes that they wished there older brother was here. Although he had hurt them, he was still family. 'What's up the Bro. You look like your doing a great deal of thinking. Lighten up! It's Christmas!' Thought Brooke to Harry. 'I know, I was just thinking how sad it must be for the Weasley's to have one of their family not here' thought Harry back. 'Hey don't worry too much. I have a feeling everything with there family will be O.K' said Brooke. 'How's it going to be O.K when Percy isn't here' said Harry. 'Percy will one day become a Weasley again. First he has to realise Fudge is a git and that he is following the wrong side.' Thought Brooke. 'If you say so' thought Harry.

Harry looked over and smiled at Brooke who gave him a reassuring smile back. "Want to pull a cracker?" asked Ginny, her voice pushing through his thoughts. "Ahh sure" said Harry grabbing the end of the cracker and pulled. BANG! The cracker exploded in pretty fireworks. When all the crackers where pulled they all began to scoff down the food. Harry had got a clown hat out of the cracker and Ginny had got a top hat decorated in flowers.

Everyone was joking, eating and making fun of each other's hats. They had dessert of Christmas puddings, chocolate puddings, custard and Ice Cream. When Christmas lunch was over they all retreated to the muggle room. Mrs Weasley had to be dragged because she kept on insisting to wash up but they insisted Dobby was going to do it. Dobby and Winky had been working at Grimmuald Place for a while but Mrs Weasley still wanted to do everything. Eventually she got settled and actually enjoyed the movie. They watched all 3 Lord of the Rings and it took all night. The girls were quite taken with Legolas and Aragon. Everyone had eaten so much and was complaining of weight gain as they went to bed. Harry felt a little over stuffed but it wasn't as bad as last year.
