Well what can I say, we told Ron not to show up at 5:00, 6:00, or even 7:00. He asked us how about 7:01 and we said no. We thought he would understand, but I guess we should have been clearer. So this morning I woke up to a thump and then a crash and then someone yelling, and then another thump, crash and then whispers, then more yelling, finally one last thump, crash and then talking. I climbed out of bed and grabbed my wand. I then proceeded to the stairs. I looked over the banister and saw Ron, Ginny and Hermione standing in the living room.
"I told you they wouldn't be up yet Ron," said Ginny
"Oh get over it Gins, we will just wait for them," replied Ron
"Ronald, Gina and Harry clearly said not 7:00 or even 7:01," said Hermione
"You know what Hermione, I didn't come at 7:00 or 7:01."
"No but look at what time it is, 7:03, when they said no to 7:00 or 7:01, 7:03 kinda meant the same thing," said Hermione
"No," said Ron in a shocked voice
"Yes," replied Hermione
"Well sorry that it is 7:03, I guess that's a no like 7:01 so I was trying for 7:02, but I guess traveling by Floo powder takes longer than I thought. Sorry Hermione," said Ron
"Boys," cried Hermione and then she walked over to the chair and flopped down on it. Just then there were 2 more thumps and crashes, and Fred and George stepped out of the fireplace.
"Dad's bringing the presents," said Fred
"Hey I was supposed to say that," cried George
"Well I got here first, so I said it," said Fred
"My job," cried George
"No," said Fred
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"Yes," said Fred
"No, oh, look what you made me say," said George
"Quiet, you will wake Sirius, Harry and Gina," said Ginny
"Oh, sorry, but why aren't they up if they invited us at this time," said Fred
"Well Ronald over here even though they said no to 7:00 came at 7:03 and he thought it would be okay," said Hermione
"Oh, did little Ronald mess up," cooed George
"Shut up, Percy," said Ron
"Ooo," everyone said
"Better lay off him George," said Fred
"I guess I better," said George
Then there was a pop and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley appeared carrying armloads of presents.
"No troubles boys?' asked Mr. Weasley
"Nope," everyone replied
"Well except nobody is awake," said Ginny
"I was just going to ask where everyone was," said Mrs. Weasley
"Well Ronald thought we should come now.." started Hermione, but she was cut off by everyone saying, "We know Hermione."
Hermione sunk into the cushions on the couch and her face turned a bright shade of red.
"Sorry," she muttered
"Well I guess we can just leave the presents and come back later," said Mrs. Weasley
I was still watching from the banister. I slipped my wand into my pocket and started down the stairs, "No need," I said
"Oh Gina, Happy Christmas," said Mrs. Weasley
"Happy Christmas," I replied
Mrs. Weasley walked over and I gave her a hug.
I walked over and sat down between Ginny and Hermione on the couch.
"I guess I better go wake Sirius," I said
"No need," Mrs. Weasley said, "We will just come back."
"No, stay, no point in leaving and then coming back," I said
"Okay," she said
"Sit down, do you guys want anything to drink?"
"No thanks, dear" said Mrs. Weasley
"No thanks," said Mr. Weasley
"Sure," said Fred and George
"I'll come help you," said Hermione
"Me to," said Ginny
"Ron?" I asked
"Ah, no thanks," he said
Ginny, Hermione and I walked into the kitchen. I walked over to the fridge and opened it up and found a pitcher of pumpkin juice.
"Where are the cups?" asked Ginny
"Oh, in the cupboard above the sink," I replied
"Okay."
"Oh Ginny, grab one for everyone," I said
"Sure," she replied
"Can I do anything?" asked Hermione
"Why not grabbed the biscuits in the tin on the table," I said
Hermione walked over and grabbed the tin and then we walked back into the living room. Just then I heard someone walking down the stairs.
"Hey Gina, I heard you down here, what are you doing up so early?" said Sirius, and then he looked up and saw everyone staring at him, "I'll be back in a minute," he said and he was gone.
"Well that was interesting," said Hermione
"Yeah, sure was, he will be back in 5, 4, 3-out of his PJ's that is-2, 1," I said
Right on cue Sirius came walking back down the stairs out of his PJ's which were in fact boxers with broomsticks on them and a Quidditch T-Shirt from the last Quidditch World Cup.
"Happy Christmas everyone, sorry about that," he said
"No problem," everyone said
"Well I'll just go get Harry," he said and then he walked back up the stairs again.
I turned around and placed the pitcher of juice on the table. And that's how the first 10 minutes of Christmas went.
