Anyway, as an apology I have decided to post this Christmas chapter for you guys in hope that's a sufficient enough gift. Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Summary: Harry is stuck deciding what to get his girlfriend of almost a year.
Notes: Neville decided to ask Hannah Abbot and therefore he didn't need to ask Hermione or Ginny. The reason I have decided to increase the hate on Fluer was because the half-veela really did act like she was better than everyone at Hogwarts and was complaining about every single thing. It was annoying. And she could have just said no to Ron instead of lowering the boys self-esteem.
It was December 24th and everybody was scrambling to make sure thir gift was perfect.
Of course the people like Hermione, who checked to make sure their gift was perfect 2 damn months before December, where just sitting there enjoying life and reading a good book.
Of course people like Harry, who have to worry about an evil wizard after them still needed to gather one last gift for someone. And that someone was one Ginny Weasley.
"What in Merlins name do I get her?!" said boy exclaimed that night in the of his Godfathers house in his and Ron's room while hihis 2 best friends lay their enjoying the last day before Christmas. Yes, even Ron managed to complete his gift shopping before. That of course aggravated Harry to no end knowing even his lazy best friend could go and get someone a gift.
"I dont know mate, but you best hurry up and think of something because she is going to get pissed of as hell knowing her own boyfriend can't get her something. " said Ron taking a bite from his chocolate frog, not noticing the horror struck look on Harry.
"I though Ginny didn't care about material possessions?" inquired Hermione.
"Oh, she doesn't. But it'll be their one year anniversary and like all girls she would like something. Even if it's just a chocolate frog." he replied.
"I can't get her that! I need something more heartfelt!" cried Harry although he knew it was useless.
"Then get her, I dont know, some nice jewellery or something."
"But that's just to common."
"How about something to reming her off all your times together?" asked Hermione.
Now that idea was amazing, it was just how the hell was he going to get her something like that.
"I don't know. I'll get an idea later."
"It's your last night Harry. " exclaimed Hermione.
"And inspiration always strikes me. And if all else fails I go to the twins."
"You are hopeless." said Hermione, amazed.
"I know."
"Well I'm going to bed. Come when you've thought of something." said Ron turning around and sleeping Instantly. Soon after Hermione went to her room leaving Harry and alone to think with Ron and his snoring in the background.
How could Harry possibly get Ginny something to remind her of them. Sure they've been dating for almost a year now, but he was still shaky about the relationship. He didnt want to ruin for 2 things. A) she would be upset and Harry didn't like it when Ginny was upset and B) her brothers would be after him before he could say Christmas.
He still remembers how them two got together in the first place. And really it happened on Christmas day.
~Flashback~
Harry had just been rejected by Cho Chang. For Cedric Diggory. So sure the guy asked her out fair and square but that still did not mean Harry couldn't sulk at it. Of course his best friend had to come being carried around by his sister and her friends.
Now Ron's sister was a whole different cause. Young Ginny Wealsey had not stayed little for long. Sure every girl developed at her own speed but Ginny was for more developed that the girls in her year. And possibly in the older years. She was more filled out that Hermione that's for sure. However the red head couldn't speek to him withought stuttering or blushing madly and becoming an utter clutz.
"What happened?" Harry asked trying to be a good friend and covering up the fact that he got rejected by the girl he liked.
"The french bitch rejected him in the cruelest way, that's what happened!" snapped Ginny as she trying to calm down her brother.
"Hold on, who?" Harry asked, feeling entirely confused.
"The triwizard champion who thinks that she's better than everyone here just cause she's half-veela." replied one of Ginny friend.
"I'm shocked her and Molfoy aren't related at this point." mocked Ginny.
"She looked at me like I was a slug when I asked her." said Ron shakily.
"To be fair you shouted out at her." said Ginny.
Just then Hermione came looking the most heartbroken anybody has ever seen her. Almost immediately a girl with glasses rushed over to Hermione.
"Merlin Hermione, are you okay?" asked Ron still shaking.
"He went for that Parkinson bitch!" Cried Hermione tears slipping.
"Great now I need to murder two people for upsetting people I like. Has anybody rejected you yet Harry?" asked Ginny sarcastically.
Harry, still new to seeing this side of Ginny, replied "No, although I still need a partner." he said dejectedly. At that Ron's face brightened up considerably.
"How about this, I go with Hermione and we can both show whoever broke Hermiones heart that she doesn't need him and I can show Declour that I don't need some french brat! And then Harry and Ginny can go together." he said excitedly.
"Ron...that was actually smart." said Hermione shocked, the tears stopping.
"Always that tone of surprise. " he replied and the two went back to bickering like nothing happened.
"Well I guess you're my date?" Harry asked.
"Yup. Thanks, with how many stares I was getting I thought that I was going to be have to reduced to boar headed Griffindors." she siad jokingly.
"Come on girls let's go." said one of her friends pointing towards the portrait.
"Yeah! I'm starved. " replied another one and they all went downstairs laughing.
'Huh, I might actually get to see the real Ginny." Harry thought as all of her friends surrounded her.
~Day of the Yule Ball~
That day everybody had opened their presents and had all decided to play in the snow till it was time to get ready. Eventually Ginny and Hermione where pulled of to get ready ignoring our protests.
Afterwards all the boys where trying to cram in last minute hair do's while Ron was fussing over his robes.
They all waited downstairs to wait for the girls and eventually Harry and Ron's dates came.
They where stunning.
Hermione's dress was a mix of pink and blue and her normaly curly, out of control hair was smoothed down and put in an elegant bun. She had put on blush, eyeshadow and mascara and she had on a golden ring. She was wearing heals bust even with those she would still be shorter than Ron.
Ginny however had her let down and it was curled lightly to make it look like as if it was on fire. She was wearing a silky green dree that looks like it might have cost a fortune that showed of all of her developing curves. She had on dangling silver earings and an emerald settled against her throat. Her dress had a small slit running from mid thigh down to her anle and you can see the girls heals. She had a tiny bit of mascara to accent her long lashes, a subtle lip gloss and green eyeshadow.
How they where going to dance in those Harry had no idea.
After 3 minutes of no response from the boys Hermione and Ginny went down themselves, grabbed the boys arms and bode each other fair well as Ginny went to the champions area. She glared at Fluer and Victor Krum but smiled towards Cedric and Cho. Then the music began.
As Harry and Ginny went on the dance floor he realised that some boys where staring at Ginny and some with a look in their eye. Not liking this one bit Harry tightened his arms around her and pulled her closer surprising her for a minute.
After the song was finished Harry asked Ginny "Do you want to sit down?"
"Nah, I'd rather not, we'd be subjected to Ron and Hermione's nauseating flirting." At Harry's dumbstruck look all she did was laugh and lead him outside
"Aren't the stars beautiful? " She asked staring at them in wonder.
"Yeah..." Harry agreed. Throughout the night he had gotten to know the real Ginny Weasley. Not the clumsy girl who would stick ner elbow in the butter dish. This was a confident young woman who was powerful enough to scare all her brothers. She was amazing.
"Hey Ginny." said Harry "Can I ask you a question? " then cursed himslef knowing he was going to endure teasing for this.
"You already did but go on."
"Will you go out with me." He asked quickly thast she almost didn't hear it.
"You want to go out with me? Me? Clumsy ass Ginny Wealsey who can't speak to yo-" Harry effectively cut her off with his lips.
"Yes you." he said smirking slightly.
"Sure." she said looking down her cheeeks an interesting red colour. He then pulled her up for another kiss. This one longer. Then they heard the camera go off. "Collin" Ginny complained. "How did you get here?" she asked annoying that people where trying to stop her from kissing her boyfriend.
"I volunteered to take pictures of the night, of course!" he sqid smirking slightly as his picture came out. "You two can keep this." he then went inside ready to look for more unsuspecting people.
"Well then..." said Harry suddenly feeling really awkward. He still did not understand how people could change so fast in other people's presence.
"You can keep it. Knowng my luck my brothers would end up finding it and try and raise hell." she chuckled slightly.
"Haha. Let's go back inside before said brothers suspect anything."
The night was spent dancing and eating and generally having a good time. Well their might have been a fight or two with the whole Krum, Declour, Hermione and Ron area but other than that the night was peacfull.
~End Flashback~
Ever since then Collin has managed to get nearly every single couple thing them two do. He always gave them the photos and Ginny would let him keep then and that was great and all but-. Then Harry had an idea so amazing he thought he should be crowned Minister of Magic instead.
And now all he had to do was collect his picures, them blank books that Hermione gave him and pray to Merlin he still remembers them craft spells.
~The Next day~
Sirius had decided that they should open the presents downstairs and Harry, even though looked like he had not slept a wink last night was excited to see weather his girlfriend of one year liked her gift. Remus suggested that they all leave one present to the end. So while everone was opening their gifts Harry hoped that Ginny left his gift till last. Harry got a ugly portrait from Dobby and he was made fun out of for that. He got a talking journal from Hermione, which he was planning to throw out and the rest was the usuall sweets from Mrs Weasley and a jumper. This time from Ginny he got a mini snitch which he loved as well as the mini broom that Tonks got him.
He opened up Ginny's present and soon after everybody followed his lead. Eventually Ginny was the only one left and she held out Harry's gift.
"Oooh, I wonder what he got her?" asked Fred teasingly.
"More than what Angelina got you that's for sure. " retorted Ginny back with a sweet smile making everybody laugh as Fred's face turned an interesting colour of red. She opened up Harry's gift withought a fuss and took out the book inside.
"Ooh, did Harry get you a book all about his heroic adventures?" teased George on behalf of his brother.
"Did Alicia get you a book on how many positions she wants you try on the common room rug?" Ginny mocked enjoying as George's face turned the same colour red as Fred. This caused deafening laughter to be heard from the people who understood what she meant.
Ginny quickly put the book in her lap and gasped as she saw the pictures inside. Harry had created an album just for her.
"I mean if you don't like it I could always get you a necklace or-" harry said confucing the Wealey brothers. He was cut off by Ginnys lips on his.
"I love it. And you might as well run." she said smirking slightly. And that's when Harry realised he was just kissed by Ginny Wealsey in front on her brothers. He was a dead man.
"Oh shit." he muttered gently lifting Ginny of of his lap. "Fellas, I am sure we can sort this out peacefully." he said backing out of the room very slowly.
"Of course, we can." they all replied except Ron who knew they where dating. "Right after we terminate your manhood," and then chaos began.
"Well that was a very productive Christmas." said Sirius and then only after hearing that did he realise that his godson was in danger.
"What he said." Remus muttered following after him with Ron by their side hoping to calm gis brothers down with Arthur Wealsye in tow and to quiten down Mrs Black.
"Boys." the woman muttered and laughed. For Harry's first gift to Ginny, he did amazing.
