disclaimer - not mine

HaliJade Snape- u rock so much, thank you for reviewing every chapter of my story, it means a lot to me!

Pinksakurablossom- weee! i updated for u!

AN - okay here is a bit more of a chapter. It doesn't get very far, but its something. Hehe you people should feel loved, i'm writing instead of doing my homework, lol. Couldn't concentrate on it anyway, we have our huge ninth grade party tomorrow and i'm so excited!

Evie trotted haughtily down the stairs, letter between her fingers and a sly smirk on her face. She walked calmly into the kitchen and sat down on the table, right across from her father. Ginny, who was busy cooking dinner turned to get something out of a cabinet stopped in shock of seeing her daughter.

"Evie." She half squeaked. Harry looked up at her and Evie smiled.

"Hi mum, hi dad." She said sweetly. Harry raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, dad, let's settle this maturely, not like a pair of five year olds. Now I get why you'd automatically hate a Malfoy. I get that you were enemies with Draco. I'm not disagreeing with you on that one, I think Draco and his father are scum…well so does Ethan. You don't know Ethan. And I think you should look at this." She held up the letter. "Before you decide what you think of him. I said it before, we as the children of you have big shoe to fill, but it's our choice whether we want to fill them or not. You were always compared to your father, and you got tired of it. Don't you think we're tired of it to?" she asked. Harry sighed and took the letter.

He read it thoroughly setting it down calmly when he was done. He then heaved a great sigh and reluctantly said;

"Fine. I suppose I can give the kid a chance." He said, forever being a guy and not liking to admit he is or ever will be wrong. Evie smiled and hugged her father.

"Thanks daddy." She said sweetly and ran off to go and find Jimmie and Jake to discuss what they would get Ethan.

"WAKE UP! OH MY GOD ITS CHRISTMAS MORNING! HELLO!" Jimmie opened his eyes a crack and narrowed them at his little sister. Of course it was her waking him up at what felt like four thirty in the morning on Christmas.

"Celia, wake me up when the sun is actually partially in the sky." He growled. She in turn pulled the covers out from under him and he fell on the floor.

"Everyone else is up Jimmie, stop being lazy!" she cried, grabbed his ear and half dragged him down the stairs.

The entire family was there, from the uncountable Weasleys to Remus and Tonks to Hermione's ever confused parents. Everyone was crowded around the tree smiling at him. Jimmie blushed lightly and sat down next to Jake and his sister.

They got to look through their stockings before breakfast, but they weren't allowed to eat any of the candy until they'd had breakfast.

Once breakfast was over, the kids began tearing at their presents.

Evie got loads of new clothes both muggle and magical, which she was highly thrilled about. But she was even more thrilled about the muggle and magical books she received.

Jimmie received several new quidditch supplies, which was like an every year thing. He got some new robes and books too, but he was more thrilled with the supplies e received from his uncle's joke store. And he even managed to keep them away from his mother.

Jake's gifts were similar to Jimmie's, though his parents also stocked him up massively on wandless magic books.

Then his mother said she was going out to get his special gift. The three exchanged excited looks, which all became looks of confusion when Hermione brought in his gift. Except for Evie's which became a look of utter delight and she proceeded to squeal.

"AWWWWW it's so CUTE!" Hermione smiled at Evie before placing the tiny fuzzy golden lab puppy on Jake's lap. (AN sorry for interupting the story, but thank you HaliJade Snape for the idea!)Jake, not wanting to be rude, but still confused raised an eyebrow. Hermione laughed.

"Don't look to excited Jake." She said sarcastically. "This puppy is special. Normally it's mostly cats, toads and rats and such that are magical creatures. However this puppy is bred of a special family of magical dogs. So just wait, he'll never stop surprising you." she said with a wink. The little puppy barked and lick-attacked Jake's face.

The trio waited until later to open up their gifts from Ethan. Ethan gave Jake an interesting circular object that when they all first looked at it, they thought it was a snow globe. Upon further inspection however, and reading Ethan's instructions, they found out that when you shook it, it showed you a memory that would best help you decide on something you were about to do. Upon the card he gave Jake he wrote;

"In case you ever decide to think about something before you do it…"

Ethan gave Jimmie a quill that apparently wrote down what people around you were thinking at the moment. Ethan wrote;

"In case you ever decide to go into stalking…"

He gave Evie a small necklace on a simple chain that had a stone at the bottom of it that was a deep green. To her he wrote;

"Because it matched your eyes…just kidding. It does match your eyes, but I want you to guess what it does…"

AN - reviewers rock my world u know...
