Today was Christmas, I woke up early in the morning and went down to the living room after freshening up.
I saw that there was nobody in the living room, I guess I am the first one to wake up, I looked at all the gifts laid down under the Christmas tree it seems like this year I received a lot more than what I usually get each year, must be because of the Gryffindor friends I made and the people that I got acquainted with.
I opened the first present that I laid my eyes upon which was from the twins, inside the box was some chocolate frog, which I appreciate since their family cannot afford any more than that.
Back at the twins' home, they opened their gift from me and inside it was Dungbomb from Zonko's Joke Shop. I sent them these gifts to get them started on working on the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes.
The second gift I open was from Lee Jorden, who sent me a book on Quidditch called 'Quidditch Through the Ages', must be the same book Harry Potter got I mused to myself, I look inside the gift book and see that there is a note inside.
Dear Caelum,
I know that you suck when it comes to flying, but here is a book that will tell you all about it.
From your caring Friend!
I snort, that bastard means to insult me, good thing I only sent him spider pet food.
The next gift I got was from Alicia Spinnet, who sent me a scarf that is colored gold and red with an image of a lion roaring. What a nice gift I think to myself, maybe I should have sent her a better gift.
Back at Alicia Spinnet house, she went downstairs to her families' living room and opened the gift Caelum sent her, it was a book on potions since she was the one to come up with the idea of studying together on potions and the book is called 'The Basic to Brewing.'
Which I found was an interesting read since it talks about the most important things in potions that many people overlook like how to stir correctly, how the age of the magical plant matters, how to correctly prepare your ingredients, and much more. I have no idea why more people do not read it, but it is this book in my opinion that makes a great potion master.
After seeing the gift Caelum sent her, Alicia Spinnet felt happy inside that Caelum sent her something and hoped that he like the gift she sent him.
The other gift was from Angelina Johnson who sent me a homemade chocolate cake which tasted pretty good, I decided to save it for later. I also sent Angelina Johnson a Christmas gift, some beauty products from Madam Primpernelle's Beautifying Potions.
The next Christmas gift I open is from Hagrid who sent me of his rock-hard food, I immediately throw it away since I do not want all my teeth to fall off, I sigh to myself and feel good since I sent Hagrid those cooking books for his Christmas gift, maybe after a while his cooking skills will become better.
I open the gift from Mrs. Weasley which is a knitted sweater like always and there is a note attached to it saying wear it to dinner.
The other gift is from my sister Luna, who gave me some sweets like Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, Chocolate Frog, and Fizzing Whizzbees. I also sent her a lot of sweets since throughout the whole year we give each other gifts and in Christmas we like to keep it simple.
I finally open the last two gifts which are from my mother and father, who also like to make the tradition of gift giving in Christmas simple as well. They both gave me a total of 100 Gold Galleons for my Christmas gift to send on whatever I want.
At that moment my sister comes down and opens the gifts she got from me, mother, father, and the only friend she made so far Ginny Weasley.
I look around the Christmas tree and see that my mother only has gifts from the Famel couple if you do not include the gifts from us, it seems like her family do not celebrate Christmas.
I look at the gifts that father got this year and it is a big improvement, you can see all matter of different box sizes laying all around the tree and the name tag states my father. It must be all the newspaper readers I think to myself, he sure did get a lot more subscribers.
My mother comes down at that moment and asks if we want to help in the kitchen with preparing for the dinner meal we have planned with the Weasley family. My little sister happily jumps at the idea and I decided to join as well since I want to give myself a short break from experimenting and learning new spells.
My father comes down while we were in the kitchen preparing food then went to his study after getting a bit for breakfast, we joined him as well for breakfast after nearly forgetting about it in all the rush of preparing.
-------------------------------------------
Dinner with the Weasleys was a pleasant event, the food was great, and the atmosphere was light and joyful. The adults kept to their conversation, Mr Weasley and my father talked about their work and other wizarding families, my mother and Mrs Weasly talked about mother stuff.
Me and the twins talked about how to sneak into Flinch's office, Ginny and Luna kept to themselves, the three eldest Weasly's talked among themselves, and Ron was left to his own devices.
Dinner went and desserts came and everyone enjoyed it after sitting around for a while me and my family said our goodbyes to the Weasley family and thanked them for hosting us after that we left and made our way home.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
