Chapter 8

When the family finished eating dinner, everyone went back to the sitting room to finish opening presents with Lizzy. Lizzy decided that she wanted to give everyone their presents from her first. "I just wanted to say first that I didn't have money to buy presents for everyone, and well honestly I didn't know you all were going to be my family. Nana and granddad, I wanted to give you something special. Nana, for you, any time you need an extra pair of hands, I give you mine, well at least while I am not in school" everyone laughed and she continued, "I will help you with what ever you need and I will also love to help with Baby Becca. Granddad, I give you my muggle knowledge and when I get home this summer, I will share with you everything I know." Ginny grabbed Harry 's hand and smiled. Lizzy went to Charlie next, "Charlie, well Ginny talked about you at school and how you work with dragons and stuff, and well, I know this isn't much, but I made this for you." Lizzy handed him a paper mache dragon. Charlie smiled and said "Thank you Lizzy. I like this very much." "Well I had some art supplies that I took with me to school, so when I got bored I could make something. I used green and gold sequence for the scales and tissue paper for the fire. You really like it?" Charlie got up and gave her a hug and said, "Yes I do." Lizzy saw the look on her granddads face and said, "Granddad maybe one day before holiday is over I can show you how I made that." Arthur nodded and smiled. "I would like that" Lizzy nodded and went to Bill and Fleur and said, "I don't have anything for you, I am sorry, but I would like to get to know you better." They both smiled and Fleur said, "Zat sounds wonderful" Lizzy nodded and went to Percy and handed him a box of some kind. Lizzy said, "I made this at school in some spare time, I didn't know what it was going to be for when I finished, but I think believe it would hold your glasses pretty well." Percy smiled and said, "Thank you Lizzy." Harry turned to Fred and George, they smiled and held their hands out in front of them. Lizzy laughed and said, "Ginny warned me about you guys." The twins looked at her and said, "Hey" in unison. Lizzy rolled her eyes and smiled, "You two can use me for some of your experiments this summer, as long as it is not painful, and my dad says it's okay." Harry laughed and the twins said, "All right." and gave each other high fives. It was Ron and Hermione's turn now. Lizzy went to them and said, "This is something else that I made from muggle craft stuff. When Ginny told me you were getting married I thought of making this." She handed them a picture frame. It was painted white and had gold detailed birds and wedding bands painted on it. "Oh Lizzy, this is beautiful." Hermione said while she gave Lizzy a hug. Lizzy turned to Ron and said, "And Ginny also told me that you like to talk about quidditch a lot, well anytime you want I am happy to listen." Ron nodded. Now Lizzy turned to Harry and Ginny and said, "You two became my friends while Harry was teaching at school for that week. And now you are my dad and soon to be my mum. I don't know what I have ever done to deserve the two of you as friends let alone parents, but I am glad that I have you. Before I left school I made this for you Harry. It isn't much but I thought you may like it." She handed him a photo album, he opened it up and saw that it had pictures of Lizzy and Ginny, mostly Ginny, at Hogwarts. He pulled Lizzy into a hug and said, "This is perfect Lizzy, I love it." "Thanks" she said still in her dad's arms. She turned to Ginny and said, "The photo album is for you as well. I knew that the two of you would be getting married one day and I always wanted you to remember me. I also made you this." She pulled out a bracelet that she had woven and gave it to Ginny. "It's a friendship bracelet. You are the best friend I have ever had." Ginny had tears running down her face. She smiled and gave Lizzy a hug, and said, "I will always be your friend Lizzy." Lizzy smiled, jumped up and said, My turn now." and everyone laughed.
