On Christmas morning, Harry was woken by addy hitting his pillow onto him harshly

"wake *hit* the *hit* fuck *hit* up" she paused hitting him inbetween each word

Harry reached for his glasses and put them on, squinting through the semi-darkness to the foot of his bed, where a small heap of parcels had appeared. Ron was already ripping the paper off his own presents and addy had placed her on the other beds which weren't occupied

"Another sweater from Mum...maroon again...what colour have you two got"

addy looked down at a letter she'd received this morning "ohh umm mum didn't um have enough time to buy or make anything apparently, it's alright" a tear dropped from her eye before she wiped it putting on a fake smile "nevermind"

Harry had though. Mrs. Weasley had sent him a scarlet sweater with the Gryffindor lion knitted on the front, also a dozen home-baked mince pies, some Christmas cake, and a box of nut brittle "well you can borrow mine adds it's fine" he smiled at her

As he moved all these things aside, he saw a long, thin package lying underneath.

"What's that?" said ron, looking over, a freshly unwrapped pair of maroon socks in his hand.

"yeah what is that" addy said holding a fresh pile of extortionate silk clothes theo had gotten her and a pair of expensive thick diamond earrings she'd gotten from draco.

her mother might not have gotten her anything but her slytherin friends were filthy rich and bought her more expensive things every time there was a holiday and didn't care when she only gotten them some honeydukes sweets

"Dunno..." harry said slightly crestfallen at how expensive everything addy was getting.

Harry ripped the parcel open and gasped as a magnificent, gleaming broomstick rolled out onto his bedspread. Ron dropped his socks and jumped off his bed for a closer look and addys mouth dropped wide open

"I don't believe it," he said hoarsely.

"holy shit" addy swore

It was a Firebolt, identical to the dream broom Harry had gone to see every day in Diagon Alley. Its handle glittered as he picked it up. He could feel it vibrating and let go; it hung in midair, unsupported, at exactly the right height for him to mount it. His eyes moved from the golden registration number at the top of the handle, right down to the perfectly smooth, streamlined birch twigs that made up the tail.

"Who sent it to you?" said Ron in a hushed voice.

"who cares who sends it, it's the fastest broom there is" harry handed addy the broom as she trailed her fingers along it making harrys lower stomach tense "omg this is so hot merlin, holy shit wow"

"Look and see if there's a card," said Harry to ron, grabbing addys hands trailing his fingers down her arm then up her shoulder and neck making her shiver. she smirked turning to look at him before turning to ron who was on the floor the facing the opposite way before she whispered in harrys ear

"i'll be trying this okay?" she kissed behind his ear making the boy nod quickly knowing that would be a very hot sight. addy on a broom speeding very fast even if it was only seeing wisps of her hair

interrupting their moment, Ron ripped apart the Firebolt's wrappings. "Nothing! Blimey, who'd spend that much on you?"

"Well," said Harry, feeling stunned, "I'm betting it wasn't the Dursleys."

"I bet it was Dumbledore," said Ron, now walking around and around the Firebolt, taking in every glorious inch. "He sent you the Invisibility Cloak anonymously..."
