Humour

Harry starred into the fire, his thoughts racing. Tonight, he, Ron, and Hermione would use the Polyjuice potion to infiltrate the Slytherin Common Room, and find out for sure if Malfoy knows about the Heir of Slytherin, and if it's him. Harry had doubts, but with the Malfoys being a pureblood family and being generations of Slytherins it wasn't unlikely, as Ron had pointed out earlier.

'But Ron's family is too and not all them are bad. Who knows, maybe-'

"Ron, you've been starring at that present for ten minutes. Will you just open it already?" Hermione's voice broke through Harry's thoughts. He looked up to see Ron holding a presents on his lap, starring at it as though he thought it would explode an second. It was the same look he had when he received that Howler last year.

"I can't!"

"And why not?"

"Because-" Ron gulped. "-it's from my sister."

"Why wouldn't you want to open it then?" Harry asked in confusion.

"Knowing her it's probably something that'll explode, or Jinx me when I open it. Or worse, it's full of spi-" he suddenly tossed the box on the ground, his face pale.

"I'm sure you're over reacting," Hermione rolled her eyes. She got of her chair to pick up the present. .

"Ron? Over reacting?"

"Never!"

The Twins had come downstairs from the boys dormitory. Identical to the last freckle, the only things different were the sweaters they wore. Fred's was brown with the letter F on it in gold while George wore a blue one with a G in silver.

"Shut up," Ron grumbled. "And where did you get those? Thought mom didn't send us presents anymore."

"She doesn't," Said Fred.

"We got these from Ginny," Said George. "I'm guessing she made you one too."

"Ginny knits?" Hermione said as she gave the present back to Ron.

"Oh yeah," George waved his hand in a dismissive matter before sitting beside Ron. "She may act like she hates us, but-

"-she doesn't," Said Fred, taking Hermione's chair. "It's just that, well-"

"-She likes her pride more."

"Exactly." Fred nodded.

Harry was surprised by this. From what Ron had told me about his sister, he thought she was as bad as the rest of his family. Admittedly, not all of Ron's family was horrible. Fred and George were cool, and so was their brother, Bill, who Harry had met over the summer. It's just that since he, himself, had been on the receiving end a couple times of the youngest Weasley's scathing tongue, it was a bit startling that she would give her brothers presents when they had been disowned from the family. Maybe she was nicer then he thought.

"Gah!" Ron suddenly shouted, throwing the Maroon sweater on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked, startled, but Ron didn't answer. Harry could see that his ears were turning red, a clear sign that he was getting angry.

George leaned forward on the chair to grab the jumper and started laughing. He held it so Harry couldn't see what was on the front.

"What?" Fred jumped up and raced behind his twin to see and he, too, was laughing.

"What? What is it?" Harry asked. George turned it around so he and Hermione could see and they started to laugh. On the front, in bright green, was a spider that had been bewitched so it's legs moved, making it look like it was crawling.

Well, Harry thought as his best friend got up and stormed up to the boys dormitory, maybe Ginny wasn't as nice as he thought.

But she sure did have a good sense of humour though.

A/N: This was actually fun to write. Just thought I'd do an X-Mas Theme since it's coming up in 3 days. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and hope you all have a good winter break! Stay safe, and if you can't keep out of trouble don't get arrested!
