Never, in anyone's memory, had a match approached in such a highly charged atmosphere. A number of small scuffles broke out in the corridors, culminating in a nasty incident in which a Gryffindor fourth-year and a Slytherin sixth-year ended up in the hospital wing with leeks sprouting out of their ears. But one evening, something happened which took everyone's attention temporarily off the match, well, everyone in Gryffindor's attention anyway.

Demelza, Amy and I were up in our dormitory talking, when we suddenly noticed something huge approaching our window in the distance. At first, we thought it was one of Hagrid's thestrals gone rouge, but as it got closer, it aimed directly for the window next to my bed. We could see that it was 5 owls holding up a huge package. We opened the window and the owls dropped the package, a wooden crate, with some force right into the middle of my bed.

"It's addressed to me but I didn't order anything this big, I doubt I could even afford to" I said

Opening the note that was attached, here's what I found-

"Dear Ginny,

Happy Easter! I do hope the egg is big enough for you this time.

Love,

Mum"

Wait, this was an Easter Egg?! The thing was half the size of my bloody bed! We opened the crate, and in there, was indeed the largest Easter Egg I'd ever seen! If it was made by Muggles, it would have surely broken one of those Guinness World Records!

There was silence for a moment, then we all burst out laughing hysterically, such was the absurdity of the situation!

Once we'd eventually calmed down, which took a very long time, believe me, I said:

"Oh man, it feels so good to get a laugh like that out!"

"Yes, I in particular needed it!" added Amy

"Who knew your Mum had such a great sense of humour?" said Demelza "Are you quite sure it's, what did she say "big enough this time?"

I pretended to think about it

"Hmm, not sure you know, it could be bigger, I'm disappointed" which lead to us all laughing again.

"It must be some kind of engorgement charm, there's no way that isn't mostly hollow inside" said Amy

"Let's find out" I said.

I pointed my wand at the egg and said "Revialis!"

We were temporarily shown the inside of the egg in a manner similar to muggle X-rays, and to our surprise, it wasn't hollow, but was indeed solid and filled right to the brim with what looked like caramel toffee!

"Well bloody hell, she's actually done it, fair play Mum! This is probably enough for the whole of Gryffindor House, if I tried finishing this by myself, I'd be eating it on my deathbed!"

"Let's take it down to the common room then!" said Amy

"I know of the best way to do this" I told them "Amy, you go downstairs, get everyone's attention, and introduce what's about to happen in a dramatic and funny way. Then, Demelza and I will carry the egg into the room for everyone to see"

We carried the egg to the top of the final staircase before the common room. Amy ran down the stairs and made her speech.

"Ladies and Gentlemen!" she began, getting everyone's attention. "Easter has always been a traditionally chocolate filled celebration. But what if I told you all that this year would be extra special, that this year, there would be no need for us to all receive our own eggs, but that we have one big enough for the entire House to gorge themselves on!

We heard a few people snigger and a few disbelieving noises.

"I'm serious! Allow me, therefore, to present to you, the biggest Easter Egg in human history, courtesy of none other than Molly Weasley!"

That was the cue for Demelza and I, and we therefore carried the egg down into the common room, with a lot more difficulty now that it was only two of us holding it. Everyone started laughing and applauding as we made our way to the big table in the centre of the room, and eventually placed it down with a loud thud. The table wobbled for a moment from the force of the impact!

"Help yourselves!" I said, panting but smiling all the same.

"Was this addressed to Gryffindor House as a whole or just you, Ginny?" said Seamus

"It was just me, and I think this was Mum's idea of a joke, because I had requested that this year she make a slightly bigger egg than the sub chicken egg size one I got last year. She even said she "hopes the egg is big enough this time!" in her accompanying note"

"Well this is a high point even by her standards" said Fred

"Yeah, who knew our mother had such a sense of humour?" added George

"That's exactly what I said" Demelza told them

"You carrying this in was like a scene from a Muggle sitcom" Hermione said as she cut herself a piece of the egg. "And you two didn't need to almost break your backs carrying it in here you know, you are witches, we have levitation charms for a reason"

Demelza and I looked at each other, red faced, and I bit my lip from embarrassment at our stupidity. Demelza shrugged it off though.

"Oh well, it was funnier for you lot that way" she said "and Hermione, you can hardly talk, you were worried about needing wood to light a fire a couple years ago!" which caused Hermione to turn red herself.

"Mum's really outdone herself here" said Ron, who was already on his third piece, before Demelza and I had even started on our first "I think this is comparable in quality to her mince pies you know!"

I thought that would surely be a stretch, nothing could compare to Mum's mince pies! But as I took a bite, I had to admit that Ron was right, this was absolutely decadent!

"Aren't your parents dentists Hermione?" asked Harry

"What my parents don't know won't hurt them" she replied, smirking. "Though they probably would pass out if they saw the amount of sugar in this!"

"What a day I've had" said Magda "First, finally getting together with Luna, now this!"

Demelza and I almost choked on our egg pieces

"Bloody hell, that came out of nowhere! Since when have you fancied Luna?" Amy said

"Since the day we met. It was love at first sight, on my end anyway. It took a bit of convincing but she fell for me eventually"

"Well, umm, can't say we were expecting it, but congratulations!" I told her

"Thank you!" Magda replied

By the time the last person had left the common room that night, the egg was only half finished, and I decided to keep the rest of it for myself, hiding it under my bed. It would be a good comfort food to go to if I was ever upset.
