The Hallows Returns
Chapter Two – Christmas Holiday
Christmas at the Burrow is just… full. Don't get me wrong! I love Holidays at the Burrow! All the family reunited, all my cousins that I don't see in ages there, and we are all laughing together and making jokes. It's pretty nice.
But, at the Potter Manor, the time to go to the Burrow was always messed up. All because of James. Today it was because he couldn't find his watch, the one mom and dad gave to him at his seventeenth birthday. So dad just execute an Accio and then we aparated at the Burrow.
The house was already full. The first one we seen were Grandma Weasley and Grandpa Weasley. Grandma Weasley was with her almost white hair tied up in a bun, she was wearing a blue night dress, and a hat matching. Grandpa Weasley was like always, almost bald, his glasses askew and a lovely smile on his face.
After them came Uncle Percy and Aunt Audrey. Uncle Percy wears glasses and is really nice, just when he is not talking about Law things. Aunt Audrey is really cute, with brown hair and kind eyes. They have two daughters, Molly II, with ginger hair and brown eyes, really funny and all, even being Uncle Percy's daughter, and Lucy with brown hair and blue eyes. They are working at the ministry with Uncle Percy.
Uncle Charlie was beside them, talking with Aunt Audrey. He is my favorite uncle at the Weasley family. He has long and ginger hair, take care of Dragons and it is really cool! The stories he always tells…
Aunt Fleur and Uncle Bill were talking with Aunt Hermione and Aunt Angelina. Aunt Fleur is absolutely beautiful, with her long blonde hair and blue eyes, she's part Veela. Uncle Bill is handsome as well, but with some scars on his face. All of them from the time that Voldemort were taking control again. Aunt Angelina is really cool, she used to play on the same Quidditch team that mom did before having James, but now she works with Aunt Hermione at the part of creations of laws at the Ministry.
Uncle Ron and Uncle George were sitting with Fred II, Roxanne and Dominique. Fred and Roxanne are twins, both with brown hair and eyes. They are tall and really funny. Dominique is a small version of Victoire, with blue eyes and blonde hair. But she painted the tips of her hair purple. Victoire was talking with Molly and Lucy, they have almost the same age, and Teddy, with his hair blue, was talking with Hugo and Louis, Dominique's twin. They were laughing out loud.
"Lily Flower!" Teddy said jumping from his seat and running to hug me. He always called me Lily Flower, since I was a little child and he played with me at the Potter Manor's Garden. Teddy is a metamorphmagus, so he could change his appearance whenever he likes, but his favorite transformation was changing his hair color to blue or the Evans ginger, because of me. "I missed you!"
"I missed you too, Teddy" I said giggling while he put me down
We all sat on the huge table to eat. We were all hungry. I sat besides Teddy and Hugo; in front of me were Dominique, James and Fred II. We are a really huge family.
"So Albus, how is Hogwarts? Is Slytherin winning the House Cup?" Dominique asked my brother. She was from Slytherin, like Albus, until last year when she graduated with James, Fred II, Roxanne and Louis
"Of course we are! I'm from the house!" Albus said with a smile
"Yes, but I heard that Ravenclaw is not too far from you guys…" Lucy said with a smile, she was from Ravenclaw like Louis, Rose and Victoire.
"We would be winning if he was not stealing!" Rose said, slapping the arm of my brother
"But Gryffindor is winning the Quidditch Championship!" James almost screamed
"Imagine if Gryffindor will stop to lose since we came to Hogwarts?" Fred II said indignant. He was from Gryffindor like James, me, Hugo, Molly and Roxanne. He played in the position of beater, like Hugo. Roxanne and James were both chasers and I am the seeker, just like Albus.
"Not with my little sister and Hugo playing on the team!" James said
"So I suppose Hufflepuff is just lost on the championships?" Teddy asked. He was the only Hufflepuff in our family, like her mother and grandfather
"Of course! Hufflepuff sucks!" Louis said laughing like everybody
"Oh shut up, Louis!" Victoire said protecting Teddy "Hufflepuff doesn't sucks"
"You are just saying that because I, your fiancé, was from Hufflepuff" Teddy said with a smile
"Obviously" Victoire said and they kissed each other
"Ugh! Not in front of me!" I said joking
"Oh Lily, shut up, you do much worse!" Dominique said waving her hand
This was the part that all went off control. First, the part of the table that all the children were, went quite, like, really quiet, and then the chaos began
"I do what?!" I said indignant. Oh please… don't say what I think she will say…
"Well Lily, I little bird told me that you are dating Lorcan Scamader" Dominique said quietly
"LILY IS WHAT?!" I heard my brothers and Teddy scream
"I'm not!"
"Okay, so the times I saw you and him snogging at the library were illusions" Roxanne said laughing
"Albus! Did you know that?!" James asked with his eyes wide open
"No! I mean, Rose once told me, but when I went to see the two of them, they weren't at the library!" Albus said astonished
"You are such a jerk, Albus!" Teddy said angry at my brother's innocence
"Like you've never done this before, Al" Fred said laughing and Louis joined him
"I'm not dating Lorcan!" I said desperately trying to make someone listen to me
"Lorcan and Lily holding hands k-i-s-s-i-n-g!" Lucy and Molly sang loudly
"Who is Lorcan kissing?" I heard Aunt Fleur ask
"Lily!" Louis screamed
"They are dating!" Rose helps him with the information
"Lily is what?!" I heard my entire family scream
"I'm not dating him!" I shout
"Are you sure, Lily?" Mom asked me with a suspicious glance
"Of course I am!" I said desperately, and turned to Hugo "Hugo, tell them I am not dating Lorcan!"
"Well…" Hugo started and the entire table went quite to listen to him "Lily and Lorcan are not dating…"
"See?!" I cried
"But they are making out" Hugo finished
"WHAT?!" the shout came from all the table
"Hugo!" I cried feeling betrayed
"Lily, I really hope you'll use some preservations when the thing start to… get hot" my dad said a little bit pale
"DAD! What the hell?!" I cried indignantly
"That's it!" James said standing up and going at the living room direction
"James where are you going?!" I asked turning around on my chair
"Going to talk to that son of a bitch that is touching my little sister!" I heard he screamed from outside the dinner room. How I hate this "little sister" thing! I have 15 years old for goodness's sake!
"But he is at his home!" I said
"Where do you think I'm going?" I heard him said and a noise of fire at the fireplace.
"JAMES!" I screamed running to the living room trying to get my brother away from the green flames.
…
"Lily! Get up darling! It's Christmas!" My mom screamed downstairs
I opened my eyes and found that the sun it was already up on the sky, maybe it was 10 a.m. or 11 a.m. not so sure. I got up and went to my bathroom wash my teeth while I was thinking about last night.
After I pull James out of the fireplace, and had to listen all those things like "You won't see that boy EVER again!" or "You still is a child!" and I answer him with things like "Please, I have 15 years old" or "You don't own me to tell me what I have to do!" I asked Aunt Hermione about the ring.
But she didn't tell me anything! Yes! She said that it was better if my dad told me the story of that ring! But of course my dad won't tell me anything! He never tells me anything! Even about the Great Battle! He told me just the basics, the things I read on History books! But to James he tells everything! Even what that ring represents and who are the Peverell!
I went down below and found my family around the Christmas tree opening their presents. Mom looked up to see me entering the living room, her eyes was a little bit sad.
"Have nice dreams?" She asked me making dad and my brothers' look at me. She always ask this to us, her children, since James was a baby
"Yes… I think so" I answered
"Happy Christmas sweetie" dad came to hug me "And we don't have anything against you and Lorcan dating… But just wanted that you had told us before"
"I have lots of things against the two of them dating!" I heard James said and Albus agreed with him
"Oh please you too! What you have against Lily and Lorcan together?" mom said a little bit angry "Lorcan is a really a nice boy, and I think the two of them together made a very cute couple"
"She is…" Albus started but mom cut him
"Don't start with the "little sister" thing! It's really annoying" Yes! That is my mom! "And, besides, he will come here tonight"
"WHAT?" my brothers and I screamed
"Your mom invited them to dinner here tonight, all their family, and they accepted" dad answered putting one arm around mom waist.
"Better this way" James shrugged "Then Albus and I will have the pleasure to ask Mr. Lorcan Scamader what he is doing snogging our little sister"
"Oh James! Stop being such a kid!" I said sitting on the floor and catching my first present "I can get by my own now, okay?"
"I don't know if this is true" Albus said giggling. Then he shut up after I thrown a cushion on his face
…
We heard a crack and mom went to open the door. Four people entered the house after that, all of them blonde. The first one, that greets my mom with a huge smile on her face, was my godmother Luna Scamader. She has blonde hair, blue and dreaming eyes and always with a smile. After her was her husband, Rolf Scamader. He is tall, with curly blonde hair and light green eyes. And then, the twins, Lysander and Lorcan. They both are tall, have blue eyes and blonde hair, but while Lorcan's hair was straight and shaggy, Lysander's was curly and he kept a little bit longer.
"Hey Jay! Albus!" Lysander greeted my brothers with a high-five my brothers responded gladly and hugged me "Hey Lils! You look lovely tonight!"
I blushed with his compliment, but then I blushed more than ever when Lorcan came to greet me with the smile I love. That crooked smile
"Hey beauty" he whispered on my ear while hugging me. He let me go and turned to my brothers with a smile "Hey there!"
But Albus and James didn't responded. They just kept that, staring at Lorcan with their arms crossed in front of their chests. Oh my Merlin! Really?!
"What's going on?" Lorcan asked confused
"What are your intentions towards our sister?" James asked
"Uh?" Lorcan seemed to be more confused than I ever seen
"We know you two are dating" Albus said thick
Lorcan looked at me with wide eyes. I know he was thinking that I was a little bit crazy to tell my oldest brothers that I was dating someone. Especially if that someone is older than me, like, two years.
"I didn't say anything. The subject came last night" I said in my defense
"Am… We are not dating…" Lorcan said after clearing his throat
"But you two are snogging each other" Lysander said with a smile. My brothers stared Lorcan even more unfriendly
"I'm your brother, Ly, so it's supposed that you help me! Not throw me into the den of lions!" Lorcan exclaimed
"Just a question" Lysander said ignoring what Lorcan just said "If you love her, and I know you do, why don't you just ask her to be your girlfriend?"
Oh well, this was a pretty good question actually. Sometimes I made this same question to me, but never had enough courage to ask Lorcan.
"Because of them!" Lorcan said pointing his fingers to my brothers
"What?" I asked with wide eyes. I wasn't expecting this
"I don't know if this was the best answer" Lysander said
"You don't asked me to be your girlfriend because you are afraid of my brothers?!" I asked making Lorcan look at me
"Hey Lily Flower, your brothers are not there flowers that smell! Remember what they did to Fray just because he gave you a flower on Valentine's Day last year?" Lorcan said
"I knew he was a coward" James whispered to Albus
"I'm not in Gryffindor, but this doesn't mean I'm a coward" Lorcan said looking to my brother angry
"No, is the fact that you don't ask our sister to be your girlfriend just because you are afraid of us" Albus responded "If you love her the way Lysander always said you do since we were kids, you would choose her no matter what"
Okay, I'm not so angry with my brothers anymore. Now I'm really pissed off with Lorcan. C'mon my father faced six guys to be with my mother and he could not cope with two?!
"Are you two happy now?" I asked angry to my brothers "Now you know Lorcan and I are not dating, and certainly we are no longer snogging each other"
"What? Lily!" Lorcan exclaimed
"Yes, I'm pretty happy now" James said smiling
"And you Lorcan, we are just coming back if you decide what is more important to you" I said and turned around going back to the living room.
