In love with a Weasley (Charlie Weasley)

POA 10

I woke on Christmas morning to my owl Phoenix tapping the window, I decided to buy her a few months ago after borrowing Hedwig a few times I figured it wasn't fair on Harry to keep using his owl. Phoenix is a completely black snowy owl, apparently she's some magical miracle her parents are both snowy owls just like Hedwig but she was born pure black. I fell in love with her instantly.

I get up opening the window and letting her in she's carrying a small note on her leg. I take the note before placing her on the perch and getting her some treats.

Meet us in the common room with your presents- F&G

I grab my pile of presents and head down to the common room where the twins are waiting for me. Harry, Ron and Hermione are there too.

"Finally" Fred shouts as he spots me, I place my presents on the floor next to his and sit down.

"Another jumper from Mum. Maroon again see if you've all got one" Ron says looking at us all. We all found the presents from Mrs. Weasley. Harry opened his first to reveal a scarlet jumper with the Gryffindor lion knitted on the front, also a dozen home-baked mince pies, some Christmas cake, and a box of nut brittle. I opened mine next to reveal a black jumper with a purple dragon, some christmas cake like Harry, some toffee and some sugar quills.

"I love your mum so much" I smile at the twins who are holding up their own jumpers. They both have green jumpers with their initial's on.

"What is it with her and putting our initial's on our jumpers. Do you think it's so she can tell us apart" George says.

"Maybe" I smile at him before opening the rest of my presents. I have 3 chocolate bars from Moony which is funnily enough exactly what I got him, a box of my favourite sweets from Fred and George as well as a box of sugar quills from Ron and Harry, Hermione got me a new quill set which I absolutely love and got her a notebook in return, Charlie got me another dragon book this time on Norwegian Ridgebacks and Ollie got me some new muggle books. I pick up the last one which doesn't have a note but I suspect it might be from Pad's. Opening it I find a beautiful locket with a rose on the front, opening it I find 2 photo's one of me with my mum and dad and the other is me with Pad's and Moony I smile at it before hearing Ron speak.

"What's that?" He says pointing to one of Harry's presents that s a long thin package.

"Dunno" Harry rips the parcel open and everyone gasps as a magnificent, gleaming broomstick rolled out onto the floor in front of him. Ron dropped his socks he was holding and jumped closer for a better look.

"I don't believe it," he said hoarsely. It was a Firebolt, identical to the dream broom Harry kept going to see in Diagon Alley. Its handle glittered as he picked it up. He could feel it vibrating and let go it hung in mid air, 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?" Ron said in a hushed voice. I had a very good idea as to who had sent it but I can't tell them anything yet.

"Look and see if there's a card," Harry said as 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"

"That was my dad's, though," said Harry. "Dumbledore was just Passing it on to me. He wouldn't spend hundreds of Galleons on me. He can't go giving students stuff like this "
