Day Three - Holiday Music

OC hates a lot of the typical holiday music. It's just irritating. But there's one holiday song that she loves. If you can count it as a holiday song. And she most definitely does.

A/N: Yes, this one is probably crap too, but I actually quite like this one, so I don't really care. And yes, this is my relationship with Christmas music (most of the time anyway, this year I'm more in the Christmas spirit than normal for some reason)

'What is it with you and holiday music?' Inquired George. Him and Emma were walking around the muggle village near The Burrow and had just left a small gift shop that was playing one of the Christmas songs Emma just hated.

'It just gets on my nerves!' Emma exclaimed, hurrying away from the shop door and the irritating music within.

'How so?'

'Everyone starts playing it way too early, and it's usually the most annoying ones that get stuck in your head all day. They're alright on the first listen, but then it stays with you and the more it plays the more it gets stuck in your head and you find yourself singing it to yourself even when you've not listened to it,' Emma rambled as they headed back to The Burrow.

'So you hate all Christmas music?'

'Of course not!' Emma turned to look at him with an offended look on her face. 'There are some that I like that are just fun and cheerful.'

'And which ones are those?'

'I don't remember the names of them.' George gave her a skeptical look.

'I don't! Look at me like that all you want but it's true, I can never remember the names of Christmas songs, I just know the ones I like when I hear them.'

'Sure,' George snorted at the glare Emma gave him.

'I'll tell you one thing though,' Emma began slowly. 'There is one Christmas song that's awesome, but it never plays anywhere.'

'Well I doubt it's actually a Christmas song then if no one ever plays it.'

'It is!' Emma insisted. 'I think it's just because of the lyrics and who it's by, a lot of people probably don't even know it exists.'

'So what is it?'

'It's called "Yule Shoot Your Eye Out" by Fall Out Boy,' Emma smiled to herself as she thought of the song.

'How the hell is that a Christmas song?' George asked, befuddled.

'Yule as in "Yuletide", not as in "You will",' Emma explained briefly. 'And you really have to listen to the lyrics to understand why it's a Christmas song.'

'All right then, if you insist.'

'Good, I'll play it for you when we're back at the Burrow.'

'Is Fall Out Boy that muggle band you're obsessed with?'

'Yeah!' Emma said excitedly. 'One of them anyway.'

As soon as they got back to the Burrow they hurried upstairs to Ginny's room where Emma was staying for the weekend. She dug through her bag to find her phone while George plonked himself down on the camp bed next to her.

'Here we go, get ready to hear my favourite Christmas song,' Emma told him as she searched for the song in her phone and pressed play.

At the opening notes George noted that it certainly did sound rather Christmassy. He listened patiently, watching Emma mouth the words along with the song.

'The gifts you're receiving from me, will be.. One awkward silence, two hopes you cry yourself to sleep staying up waiting by the phone, and all I want this year is for you to dedicate your last breath to me, before you bury yourself alive.

Don't come home for Christmas, you're the last thing I wanna see underneath the tree. Merry Christmas, I could care less.'

George stared at Emma as she continued to silently sing along and raised his eyebrow at her. She ignored his look until the song finished and then looked at him expectantly.

'That's not quite the right tone for a Christmas song, is it?' He told her.

'True, but it's still technically a Christmas song,' she reasoned. 'It's definitely better than half the songs out there all about love at Christmas, they're just annoying,' she laughed.

George shook his head and chuckled. 'You really do have a strange relationship with this holiday don't you?'

'Yup.'
