The next day, the girls were woken up by an excitable Natsu, who had barged into their rooms whilst they were still sleeping.
"Wake uuuuup, you guys! It's Christmaaaaas!" He yelled, and Lucy jumped straight out of bed.
"Baka!" She yelled. "Do you have no goddamn respect for our privacy?! Lucy Kick!" Her foot collided with his face, sending him flying out of the room, and the blonde slammed the door before sighing and sinking to the floor.
Hermione blinked, her sleepy brain taking longer than normal to process what had happened. "That was...scary!" She said in admiration. "Scary but amazing!"
Lucy blushed slightly. "Th-thanks, but we'd better head downstairs now."
"Yeah, the others probably sent Natsu to wake us up because he's the only one stupid enough to do so!" Levy spoke up, grinning. "I don't know how he's experienced Lucy's special kick so many times and still hasn't learnt - it happens all the time at Mahoutokoro!"
Lucy laughed. "It's his fault for barging in! Let's go, it's present time!"
Downstairs there was a huge Christmas tree, decorated in the colours of all the Hogwarts houses. When Hermione leaned in closer, she saw that some of the ornaments even had the house crests on them!
Lucy tilted her head to one side. "I swear this wasn't here last night, was it?" She asked confusedly.
"No," Hermione laughed. "It's a Christmas tradition for us that the tree goes up on Christmas Eve - I bet the servants were up for ages sorting this out! It's gorgeous!"
"Glad you think so, dear!" A voice said from behind them.
"Mum! Dad! Merry Christmas!" Hermione yelled, flinging herself at her parents.
"And to you, sweetheart. If everyone could please make their way to the first drawing room, we now open our presents!" Mr Granger announced, leading the way.
Natsu had recovered from Lucy's kick, and was actually bouncing up and down in excitement.
Lucy rolled her eyes at his antics. "God, he's such a child sometimes!" She complained, and Levy smirked.
"Yeah, but you love him anyway, Lulu!" She laughed at the blonde's violent blush and stepped casually put of reach.
When they stepped into the drawing room, Hermione gasped in shock at the sheer number of presents surrounding them.
"You didn't?!" She asked her parents in disbelief, and they nodded, grinning at her.
"Merry Christmas, everyone! What we have done may seem a tad excessive to some of you, but my husband agrees that it is only polite of us to offer you all gifts. Please accept these humble tokens in the spirit of Christmas!" Mrs Granger said, and several parcels were given out.
Everyone who currently had a present to open gasped as they did so; Hermione's parents' version of 'humble' was not exactly the same as everyone else's.
Lucy held a polished wooden box, and when she opened it almost dropped it in shock as she saw seven shiny red keys sitting in it. "The seven demon princes of Hell!" She whispered, and hugged the box like it was a long-lost friend.
Levy did the same when she opened her present - a collection of priceless ancient tomes, as did Minerva with her new warlord contract and twin swords.
One by one, as everyone opened their presents, there were tears of joy and amazement.
Erza had several new sets of armour, Juvia a book on 'how to woo your wizard without magic' and a new magical device that can control the weather, and Cana - naturally - lots of expensive liquor.
Wendy's little friend, Chelia was given loads of adorable clothes and magical hair products - like hair dyes that were charmed to come out whenever the person wearing them wanted.
Yukino was crying heavily over the scrap of paper in her hand - the address of her long lost sister, and she clutched a box of gate keys with her free hand.
Mira just stared in shock at the book on demon magic, and the contact details of another demon take-over mage.
And that was just the girls!
Elfman was crying about how 'manly' his gift was - a book on all different kinds of magical beasts and a lifetime pass to the Grangers' zoo so that he could study the beasts.
Gray was more than grateful for his gift - a wardrobe of clothes charmed to never come off unless the owner consciously wanted to remove them, as was Harry for the magical makeup to cover his scar and his parents wands - recovered from the ministry.
Jellal had two tickets for an all expenses paid trip to any destination (presumably for him and Erza), and Romeo had a scarf that was very similar to Natsu's except it seemed to change colour.
Even the exceeds got something - Happy had a huge basket of fish, Carla some exotic tea, Panther-Lily a new size changing sword, Lector some new jackets and Honeydukes chocolate and Frosch got a magical butterfly to chase.
It was after everyone else had opened their gifts that the Grangers took them all outside - where the dragon-slayers were about to have the biggest shock of their lives.
"As you all know from visiting the magical zoo, our dragons are less intelligent, less sentient than the dragons that raised you five. So we are most certainly not equipped to raise these little guys." Mr Granger gestured towards five eggs that had just been carried in by some of the zoo workers.
Natsu grinned. "Dragon eggs?! Hell yeah!"
Mr Granger nodded. "Yes, according to the experts we have had look over these eggs, they are likely laid by elemental dragons, like your adoptive parents, and all have an affinity towards certain elements that we have been reliably informed you do too. Natsu will receive the fire dragon egg, Wendy the sky dragon egg, Gajeel the iron dragon egg, Sting the light dragon egg and Rogue the shadow dragon egg. And last but certainly not least - Lisanna. We have recently discovered a new species of magical creature - a magical tiger! She is only a cub at this stage, and she will be your Christmas gift from us - don't worry, magical creatures require far less work than normal creatures, and we have already informed Headmasters Makarov and Dumbledore of their intended presence at the schools."
The dragon-slayers and Lisanna looked dumbfounded, but stepped forward and took their presents anyway.
"Th-thank you, Mr and Mrs Granger," Wendy said, the first one to regain the ability to speak. "This means more to us than we will ever be able to tell you!"
Mr Granger laughed. "Nonsense, child! This helps us as well, remember? There is no one better equipped to raise these dragons than you five - and the same goes for your tiger, Lisanna. Also - call me Dan."
"And call me Jean," Mrs Granger added, smiling.
As one, all the others spoke up. "Thanks Dan, Jean!" The said, and the Grangers laughed.
"Anyway, I think we'd better go inside and open all the other gifts. Again, Merry Christmas!" Dan said, and led everyone back inside.
"By the way, I don't suppose any of you know if there happens to be a poison dragon-slayer, do you? We had a lightning dragon egg, but we're planning on giving that to Laxus at the ball tomorrow," he said as they went inside.
Jellal grinned. "I think I can help you with that. I actually used to work weekends at the bar in a magical guild called Crime Sorciere - one of their members is a poison dragon-slayer. In fact, I believe one Mahoutokoro's professors is quite close with him - I'll lacrima call Kinana later and ask her to tell Erik."
"Thanks, lad, apparently it's better for the babies to be raised by someone who shares their element because it makes them stronger...or something like that, I don't know, to be completely honest I stopped listening after the first thirty seconds!" Dan said jovially, and everyone returned to opening their presents.
Later in the afternoon, everyone sat sprawled across the sofas, still talking about the amazing gifts. Lisanna's new cub rolled around adorably in the leftover wrapping paper as Erza played with her. Everything was very peaceful and relaxed until...
"NATSUUUU!" A female voice yelled angrily. Surprisingly enough, it wasn't Erza, or even Lucy, but rather Lisanna, who stood protectively over her cub as she rolled around in a pile of ashes - the wrapping paper she had just set fire to. "You've infected my poor baby with your pyro tendencies, baka!" She screamed, and Natsu tried to run away, only to find his path blocked by the other females, who were all smirking at him.
"I'm s-sorry, L-Lisanna! I s-swear I d-didn't do anything!" He whimpered, shying away from the angry girl.
"Did he, Enyo?" Lisanna asked the cub, who, to Natsu's absolute horror, nodded her head.
The take-over mage grinned sadistically. "Oh I am going to enjoy this - no one corrupts my cub!"
As he passed out from multiple blows to the head, Natsu could swear he saw the tiger laughing at him.
A/N - I took the name Enyo (meaning warlike) from a book called Marked by P.C and Kristin Cast - it's a great book so I'd really recommend reading it, but be prepared because there are about thirteen books in the series, not counting the novellas. Hope everyone likes the presents, I just love imagining the scene where Enyo frames Natsu, and Lisanna ends up beating him up...
As always, my wonderful readers, reviews are the best Christmas present you can give...even though it's not Christmas yet...•^_^•
