Christmas Day

~December 25th - Wednesday Morning~

Your POV:

I had woken up a little earlier than everyone else and sighed. I lifted my head to see I was no longer in the guest room. Damn, I thought my plan had worked. But I guess Severus brought to my room after I'd fallen asleep. I got up quietly and made my way into the guest room. Severus was still asleep. Inching my way to the bed, I situated myself next to him. His facial expression was the same as always. I expected it to have been a little different compared to when he was awake, but I guess not. I decided to wake Severus up. It was Christmas Day after all. I leaned forward a little and whispered into his ear,

"Sevy, time to wake up. It's Christmas~"

He didn't wake up. A grin plastered itself onto my face. I whispered into his ear once more,

"There's a Dementor~"

He immediately woke up and sat up looking around the room frantically. I chuckled at this. But he didn't seem to think this was funny.

"Never, do that, again." He scolded.

I stopped laughing and responded,

"Alright, alright. I won't."

He gradually relaxed again and sighed.

"Hey, I'm sorry, Sev." I said as I got on the bed and hugged him.

He groaned at my sappy display of affection and motioned to get up.

I moved out of the way so that he could and began walking to the door.

"How about we go downstairs? The others will probably be awake any minute now." I told him.

Severus nodded and followed me out the door and down the stairs. I turned the corner and saw the beautifully lit Christmas tree. I spotted the gifts I had gotten for everyone and smiled. I then turned back to Severus who was behind me and pulled him over to sit on the sofa again. Soon we heard the sound of feet hitting the floor upstairs and then a shrill,

"Chwistmas!!"

Severus cringed at the high pitched voice and groaned, rubbing his ears. I chuckled and watched as (B/N) came running around the corner with a big smile on his face. My parents walked in a couple seconds later and scolded (B/N) for being unnecessarily loud. I could tell Severus agreed with them. Once (B/N) was calm, everyone else sat down.

"Well then. Let's open up a couple gifts then, shall we?" My father asked us as he himself sat down in the recliner.

(B/N) nodded his head vigorously.

"How about you bring the gifts to everyone (B/N)?" My mother told him.

He smiled and hopped off of her lap and ran over to pick up a gift for everyone. He then brought each individual gift to the person it was addressed to. I opened mine to find a new sketchbook and a set of sketching tools. I was ecstatic. I thanked my parents for the gift and looked over at (B/N). He had grabbed the gift I had given him. His eyes widened once he saw what was inside. I had gotten him a couple things from Zonko's in Hogsmeade right before the train left Hogwarts the other day.

After only a couple gifts were left, I noticed a particularly tall one behind the tree. It was a tall cylindrical box. I grabbed it and set it down on the coffee table. Even my parents looked at it quizzically. It was addressed to me, so I began unwrapping it. Once I saw what it was I jumped up and almost shrieked in a way. My parents looked at me and asked,

"What is it?"

My brother was startled by my outburst as well and was now eager to see what was in the packaging. I reached for the gift and pulled it out of the tube. It was a damn Silver Strider! With the intricately designed broom in one hand and the other hand over my mouth, I spun around to face Severus who had a slight grin on his face. I let go of my mouth and pulled Severus into a one handed hug.
