Chapter 9: christmas day (next chapter will be Christmas holiday part 3

December 25th 2003: 0900 gaunt manor

Hermione and her parents arrived early on Christmas day so that they could all be together to open up presents. Jay knew that this was Harry's first time getting presents so he decided to let harry open his first. When he opened up his one from Jay he found a strange vest.

"It's dragon hide, Hungarian horntail. Dragon hides can protect the wearer from most spells. Just not unforgivables."

"Wow Jay thanks"

"Jay" Hermione said "that must have costed a fourtune."

"Actually the goblins made me five for five thousand dollars."

"That's too much" stated harry "I like the gift but im not worth spending a thousand galleons on."

"Harry" said Jay "I'm rich, if I didn't spend money on my friends then what's the point of having all of that gold in the bank? Just take it and wear it. Besides it will be funny when Malloy tries to curse you and fails right?"

They opened the rest of the gifts and it turned out that Jay got each of them a different dragon style and color. He got harry red, rick black and it was made of Chinese fireball, Hermione blue and hers was made of german hammerback, Maria got yellow and french shortsnout. His own was green and was Swedish shortsnout.

After all of the gifts were open, they had breakfast.

The head manipulator was pacing back and forth is his office as he was all night.

"How do I give harry his father's cloak if he isn't going to see the mirror?" he said to himself. "I know I'll give it to young Ron then he will be intergrated into the group" and so he floors Molly and told her and Ron to come over.

"What is this about professor" asked Ron "we were just about to eat"

"Ronald I'm sure the headmaster had his own reasons."

"Quite right Molly quite right. It seems that young Ronald didn't do his job properly and he's not in Harry's group. It seems like he is offending everyone in it by just not using his brain. But I have a say to get him integrated. When the potters died I went to there cottage and found this" he pulled out a silver cloak "this as you may know is deaths cloak it belonged to Harry's father and his father and so one back to ignotious perverell. Ronald use this to get gloss to harry. Find some way to get him away from those yanks and all will be forgotten and you will still be paid."

"Well head master they might get suspicious so we best be going."

"Yes see you two later."

The burrow

The Beasley twins phil their extendable eat from the fire place just before Molly and Ron leave

"We've gotta warn harry forge."

"Yes but how free we haven't an owl"

"On the train" they said together.

Hogwarts

"Another Christmas" said voldy

After breakfast Jay pulled Maria to the side. "Listen while I was out yesterday I picked up something special for you." he pulled out a thin box

"Thank you but you've given me too much today."

"Just take it"

So she did and what she found was a heart shaped locket with forever written on it when she opened it there was a picture of her and him together on one side and her parents on the other. "Wow Jay I'm speechless."

"I told your parents about it and they have me that picture of them in their first date."

"The other picture was after you won the match against slytherin."

"Yep" Jay repilied as he put the locket around her neck.

When they got back to everyone, Hermione Linda and Sandra were admiring the necklace while Jay say down with the guys.

"Well" Jay said "all that's left is for harry to man up and ask Hermione out."

"I do... I don't like her like that" harry lied

"What ever" Jay said. And soon was lunch then Christmas dinner. The elves went all out but remembered to be pork free. There was turkey, chicken, Mac and cheese, biscuits and greens. To drink there was butter beer for the kids and wine for the adults. But they didn't start eating until the elves say down with them to eat.

They went to bed that night with Jay dreaming abou maria, rick dreaming about some playboy model he saw and harry dreaming about a certain brown eyed bushy haired bookworm.
