: The Blessed : A Harry Potter Love Story –Chapter 12- Christmas Is A Time to Be Merry/I Hear Wedding Bells In the Distance

-Hannah's POV-

I felt people bouncing on my bed. "Oh Godric, why is it that you can't let a girl sleep?" I say, yawning as I sit up. "Because, it's Christmas," says Fred. Maybe is it George, I don't know. "And mum won't let us open presents until EVERYONE is there," says his twin. "Which means you have to wake up," says the other. "Fine, fine, I'm up now. Happy?" I say getting out of bed, putting on my glasses and brushing my hair a bit before walking behind them. "Much," they say.

I come down and sit on the couch. "Hey, Fred and George woke you up?" asked Harry. "Yes, and I'm still sleepy," I reply, grumpily. "Aw poor, Hannah" says Harry, kissing me on the cheek. "You know what? It is times like this that make me think, and it's time I say it, I love you Harry Potter," I say. He looks like a kid when Christmas came early. "I love you too, Hannah," he says. I snuggle up close to him and put my head on his shoulder. He puts his arms around my waist and then the rest come in. "Oi, you two. Stop the lovey-dovey stuff and open your presents," said Ron. I bend down and grab a present. It's a bulky present.

It's from Hermione, Sophie and Ron. I open it. It's a beautiful leather bound scrapbook. "Wow," I exclaim. The first page has a note. 'These are memories from your sixth year and some years before that when you were younger and when we were younger. Hope you enjoy – Hermione, Ron and Sophie,' I flip through. There are pictures of Harry, Ron and Hermione, all of us in one picture, a picture of Sophie as a 5 year old… "Hannah, flip to the second last page," said Sophie. I flip. There is a picture of Harry on Halloween Eve when he was blushing and me kissing his cheek. "I can't believe you took a photo of that," I say, looking up. "Hey, we were looking for photos and that seemed like the perfect one," said Hermione.

Hermione opened another one. "Hannah! Thanks!" she said hugging me. "Hey, you're a bookworm, you'll need a never-ending roll of parchment and self-inking quill," I reply. "Gee – now she can take notes without having to dip her quill or grab another piece or parchment," said Fred. "I heard that," she said, glaring at him.

Ron opens one from Sophie. "Bloody hell! Sorry mum, but she got me a Quidditch Encyclopedia!" he exclaims. Oh yeah – Sophie. She always knows what to get for someone who loves Quidditch and hates reading. Get him a Quidditch Encyclopedia as an incentive.

I picked up another package. "Hey, why is it that I get one huge present from the three of you, then individual presents?" I ask. "We just wanted to," said Sophie. I opened the wrapping paper. "Hey! Ron, you remembered that I love chocolate frogs! Want one?" I offer. He grabs it and begins to munch on the chocolate. He absolutely loves chocolate as much as I do. Sophie hands me another present.

t's from her. I opened it and pulled out a beautiful dress. "Wow, Sophie. This is a beautiful dress, but when am I going to wear it?" I ask her. "Well there's this thing called a Welcome Back Dance? You can wear it then," she says. I hug her.

I handed Harry my gift. "Why is it moving?" he asked. "Don't know, open it," I say, smiling. He opens the box and the Snitch flies out. There is a note in the box and it falls out.

Harry Potter –

Well, this is your Christmas gift. I must say, your girlfriend went to a great length to get this for you. From my meeting her, and what my sister tells me, she's a great girl. You're quite lucky to have her. This Snitch is autographed by me. Good luck for your Quidditch season next year.

Best wishes,

Aiden Lynch

Seeker, Irish Quidditch Team

Harry drops the note in amazement. He suddenly reaches up and the Snitch is in his hand. "Bloody hell, that's fast!" said James. Lily smacked him. He looks at Aiden Lynch's autograph engraved in the Snitch. He hugs me. "This is the best Christmas present ever," he says, kissing me lightly. I smile. "My turn," he says.

He bends down on one knee. "Hannah, I was really depressed when school started. Then, I met you and life was brighter. You even brought back my parents and godfather. You almost died for me. So now, Hannah Sanchez, will you marry me?" he proposes. He holds out a box that has a ring in it. I look at it. I smile. "I accept, Harry," I say. He slides the ring on to my finger and I hug him.

"So…can we start calling you the Future Mrs. Potter?" asked Fred. "No, I love the title, but I still have a name," I say, smacking him. "Yeah, then you're just Hannah Potter then?" asks George. "In a way, I am." I reply.
