Ginny's P.O.V.

I woke up. My face felt dry like I had been crying. I had. I remembered last night when Harry told me he considered us Weasleys as his family. It was so heart-warming and it reminded me of how much Harry went through. Then I realised it was Christmas! I quietly scrambled out of bed to get the presents I bought. Well I didn't buy all of them. I made one. That one was Harry's. I made him an album. Full of photos. It was photos of him and my family. I knew that Harry had lost everyone in his family so I made this album showing that we considered him as part of our family. I went downstairs with my presents and placed them under the tree. I kept Harry's present upstairs cause I wanted to give him my present in private. Mum and dad were both up. Dad sitting at the table reading the Daily Prophet and Mum cooking breakfast. "Merry Christmas Ginny," Dad says. "Merry Christmas" I reply back. Mum sets pancakes on the table and yells "EVERYONE GET UP!" I hear shuffling upstairs. I look back at my parents and said "Did you know Harry considers us as his family." Mum looks at me in disbelief. "It's true," I said, answering their silent question. Mum bursts into tears as dad comforts her. "I-I still r-remember the f-first time I met him" Mum says between tears. Soon everyone was at the table eating breakfast except for Harry. "I'll wake him" I said as mum opened her mouth to tell someone to get him. I walked to our room. I grabbed his present on the way. I sat on our bed and shook him by the shoulders. "Wake up Harry!" Harry groaned and pulled the blanket over his head. "Stop Aunt Petunia'' Harry moaned. Aunt Petunia? Was Harry dreaming about them again? "Harry it's me Ginny!" I said worried. Harry's eyes snapped open and he looked at me. "Harry are you alright?" I ask anxiously. "I'm fine," Harry replies. I give him an 'are you sure' look. He nods. "Well anyway Merry Christmas!" I exclaim and hand him my present. Harry opens it and gasps. He flicks through the pages while I bit my lip. Harry looks up at me with tears in his eyes. "Oh Harry I'm sorry I didn't mean t-" I started. "Ginny I love it" Harry cuts in "It just reminds me of things." I hug him as he looks through the rest of the book. When he's done Harry kisses me on the lips. I kiss him back. When we're done Harry says "I love it thank you Gin!" I smile as Harry gets up to grab my present.

When Harry comes back he hands me a box. As I take the box I feel something squirming inside. I look at Harry in fear. He chuckles and whispers in my ear "Do you think I'd give you something dangerous?" Knowing Harry wouldn't I opened the box and out jumped a puppy! "Oh my god Harry!" I exclaim scooping the puppy into my arms. He pecks my lips and asks "What's his name?" "I think it should be... Coco!" I said, saying the first thing that comes to my mind. "Coco it is" Harry replies. I kissed Harry but soon it turned into a snog. Suddenly we both heard a voice and we jumped apart. It was Ron's voice coming from downstairs. "I AM COMING UP IN 10 SECONDS SO YOU BETTER BE DOWN HERE BECAUSE I BET YOU'RE UP THERE SNOGGING!" Then we heard the voice of Hermione. "RONALD!" I grabbed Harry's hand and tried to tug him out of the room. "Ginny!" Harry said, pulling his hand back. I turned. "I need to get changed," Harry explained. I nodded and left the room. Harry came out after a few minutes and we walked downstairs with Coco in my arms. As we burst into the kitchen we saw Ron and Hermione bickering. "Ginny!" Mum said, trying to break up the quarrel "Where did you get the dog from?" "This is Coco," I said, introducing him to my family. "Harry gave it to me for Christmas," I added. I passed Coco around. When George tried to hand Hermione Coco she looked confused for a moment before looking at me and squealing. She patted Coco and then she passed her back to me. Suddenly Ron got up from the table and exited the room. I looked at Hermione in confusion. She shrugged but looked back at the door worried. I glanced at Harry but he didn't seem to be bothered. Ron came back with a box like Harry's but larger. Was Hermione getting a puppy too? Hermione opened the box and inside was an owl! "OH MY GOD RON!" Hermione exclaimed. My eyes shifted to Harry who was poking his pancakes with his fork. I knew he was still upset about Hedwig.

After breakfast we went outside to play Quidditch. Ron was a captain and I was the other. Charlie played too. As soon as we were outside I yelled "HARRY'S ON MY TEAM!" "Hey no FAIR" Ron pouted. "Wait what about US!" George and Charlie exclaimed. "Well..." and then Ron got struck into a tiny argument with George. Taking the chance I grabbed Harry's arm and shouted again "HARRY'S ON MY TEAM!" Ron was about to retort when Hermione yelled "Oh come on!!" "I'll be on Ron's with Charlie and George, you go with Ginny and Harry." "Bu-" Ron started but was cut off by Hermione. "Just shut up Ronald!" We mounted our brooms and me on my new Firebolt. Harry released the snitch and Bill through the Quaffel up into the air. We didn't have bludgers so we didn't play with them. Hermione made 3 hoops float on each side of the garden. I caught the Quaffle and dived when Ron tried to hit the Quaffle out of my arms. I sped up cause Ron was catching up to me. I made my way to the goalposts and saw a frightened Hermione trying to be a Keeper. I threw the Quaffle at the goalposts and scored 10 points. George and I cheered while Harry was circling the field up above looking for the Snitch. "Hermione!" Ron exclaimed "You have to stop the other team from scoring!" "Sorry!" Hermione apologised "I'm still trying to get used to a broom!" I scored 5 other goals which left us with 60 points but Ron's team with 20. Suddenly I saw both Harry and CHarlie dive. Taking the chance to be in the lead since the rest of Ron's team was distracted I scored 3 more goals until Ron came charging at me. I watched as Harry and Charlie drew nearer to the ground. "HARRY!" I yelled "YOU'RE GONNA CRASH!" Harry didn't pull away but Charlie did. I was getting seriously scared when Harry pulled himself up and grabbed the snitch. I let out a sigh of relief as I thought Harry was going to crash. Charlie looked dumbstruck. I quickly landed my broom and ran to Harry. I engulfed him in my arms and I whispered in his ear "You scared the living daylights out of me!" Charlie came over and asked "How did you do that?" "I did in first year. Just a bit of practice and maybe a better broom." Harry replied. Charlie opened his mouth to answer when George came bounding up to us yelling "YES! YES! I STILL REMEMBER WHEN YOU DID THAT IN YOUR 1ST YEAR!!" Harry chuckles while I yell back at George "MY BLOODY EARS!" George stops and smirks.

The rest of the day we spent outside or in the house playing games or with Coco. Sometimes me and Harry would have alone time and spend it snogging each other. When it was bedtime I snuggled closer to Harry and thought to myself 'This is the best Christmas ever'
