Neville and Luna spend Christmas morning answering texts and exchanging gifts
Song: White Christmas by Bing Crosby
Harry: Happy Christmas!
Neville: Do you know what time it is?
Ron: *hits Snooze button*
Theo: Happy Christmas! Coffee is brewing!
Harry: It is Christmas morning and I have a toddler
Neville: Some of us like to sleep in when we don't have to go to work
Ron: It is still dark
Theo: But, it's Christmas morning!
Harry: James says"Time for presents!
Ron: *points at window* Dark …
Theo: Yeah James!
Neville: Sleeeeeeepppppppp
Neville looked down at the fading screen on his mobile. Harry and Theo had always been excited about Christmas morning. He just wanted to snuggle a little longer in his warm bed. He had a few surprises under the tree for Luna, but they could wait until the sun was up.
"Who was that?" Luna's sleepy voice came from under the covers. "It's too early for anyone to be awake."
"Harry is a little excited." Neville burrowed back under the covers and pulled Luna into his arms. "It is still dark and we are not opening the shops today. Back to sleep with you."
"Sleep is good." Luna yawned and burrowed into Neville's shoulder. "No presents until the sun is up."
Ginny: Happy Christmas!
Hermione: Happy Christmas!
Daphne: It is 7 am … I need coffee
Luna: *Snooze button*
Ginny: The boys have been up for ages
Hermione: Ron is still buried under the covers
Daphne: Theo is bouncing on the bed like a three year old
Luna: I am sleeping
Ginny: The sun is up now … The boys are pulling me out of bed
Hermione: Time to take someone's covers
Daphne: I'm going to be sea sick if he doesn't stop bouncing on the bed
Luna: Go back to sleep!
Luna slowly pulled to covers away from her face. Neville was still sleeping but sunlight was streaming through the windows of his bedroom. She had put her mobile under her pillow after the last set of messages from the girls. She really did not want to get out from under the covers.
"You awake?" Neville's voice sounded rough as he rolled towards her. "The sun is getting bright. I could sleep for a while longer if you want."
"I guess we should get moving." Luna groaned as she stucka toe out from under the covers. "I am a little curious. You were messing with the stockings under the tree before we came to bed last night."
"Just making sure everything was where it is supposed to be." Neville kisses Luna's forehead. "I noticed the pile on my side had gotten a little bigger when we got back from church last night. What did you do, Moonbeam?"
"Nothing," Luna shrugged and rolled out of the bed. "I just waited until the last minute to put a few things there. Someone likes to shake his presents if they sit under the tree too long."
"I do not shake them." Neville slid his feet into his slippers and reached for his robe. "I was just rearranging them and I happened to hear something rattle."
"So that is what we are calling shaking presents to guess what they are now." Luna laughed and fell back on the bed. "No peeking while I start the tea. I need something to keep me awake while you unwrap your presents."
"Moonbeam, make it coffee and you can unwrap first." Neville walked towards the door. "I can't wait to see what is in each package under the tree and the stockings, too."
Harry: Let's try this again … Happy Christmas!
Ginny: Time for presents!
Ron: I am still not awake
Hermione: He is too awake. Just not finished with his coffee
Daphne: Theo is still bouncing
Theo: I am not
Luna: I am still not completely awake
Neville: I have presents to unwrap
Harry: So …
Ginny: What did you get?
Hermione: I'll show you later
Ron: You can see when you get to Mum and Dad's
Theo: The rest of us will not be there, we have other family events to attend
Daphne: But there is always tomorrow
Luna: What do we need to bring, Gin?
Neville: Snacks and stuff
Ginny: Just yourselves and your holiday spirit
Harry: Happy Christmas!
Neville watched as Luna dug through the fruit and candy to get to the box in the toe of her stocking. It had been fun watching her rip through the packages he had wrapped and put beneath the tree, but this box was special.
"Sunshine?" Luna looked up at Neville as she pulled a long box from her stocking. "What have you done? You have already given me so much."
"Just a little something for you." Neville blushed as he watched Luna crack open the box. "I wanted you to have something to wear that reminded you of our story."
Luna pulled the charm bracelet from the box and handed it to Neville. "Help me put this on. Where did you find such perfect charms?"
"A special place." Neville held the bracelet up for Luna to look at closely. "The moon for my Moonbeam, a teapot for her special place, a forget-me-not for our memories, a mitten for fun, and a knight for me. We can add more as we add memories."
Luna held out her wrist as Neville explained each charm. "It's perfect, Sunshine. I don't think I will ever take it off."
Neville kissed Luna's wrist as he closed the clasp of the bracelet. "I can't wait to add more memories to it. Happy Christmas, Moonbeam."
"Happy Christmas, Sunshine."
Ginny: What is that?
Hermione: Someone got spoiled for Christmas
Daphne: Theo needs lessons
Luna: It is beautiful
Ginny: I don't think I have ever seen charms like that before
Hermione: Where did he find it?
Daphne: I need to show this to Theo
Luna: My charms … my Sunshine
