Hope's P.O.V
I am flying my broom around Hogwarts with Teddy next to me and Vicky and Xander and we are just about to fly over the lake when....

Something small and heavy and very loud wakes me from my dream by jumping on me and screaming
"IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!"

I rub my eyes and see Scorpius bouncing on my bed. I sit up and grab him hug him and say
"Merry Christmas (yawn) Scorp."
Just then Teddy walks in holding his stocking and James following him holding his.
(A/N picture above is what I imagine them having as Christmas stockings.)

"Merry Christmas Hope."
I smile then look at the clock
"It's four in the morning guys why are you up?"
James answers my question by yelling
"IT'S CHRISTMAS HOW COULD WE BOT BE UP?"
And then adding
"Duh"
As if it was the most obvious thing in the world which now that I think about it it kind of is. Anyway we all sit on the floor of my room and open our stockings.

James picks a a present from his stocking first and opens it to find a kazoo. I look at him and see a glint in his eyes that only means trouble.

About two hours of terrible kazoo Christmas carols later I say
"Ok I'm going to go see if Lils is awake then we can go through to Harry and Draco's room ok."
They nod and I stand up walk to Lily's room which is right next to Harry and Draco's. I open the door to find Lily awake and standing up with the help of the side of her cot. I go over to her and pick her up grabbing her stocking on the way back to my room to get the boys. Once we get everything back into the stockings (and I make a mental note to ask Harry to magic away the mess left by the wrapping paper later) we walk over to Harry and Draco's room and James opens the door and him and Scorp shout
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!!"
A very groggy Harry says
"Merry Christmas."
Whilst sitting up. Draco how ever does not move so James and Scorp run and jump on him to wake him up. Whilst they are waking up I have been tasked with waking up aunt Dromeda and aunt Cissy so they can eat breakfast and open the presents with us. I first go to Aunt Dromeda's room (because the mansion is so big they have their own rooms which no one else uses) I knock on the door before opening it and say quietly
"Merry Christmas aunt Dromeda."
I then go over and tap her shoulder gently till she wakes up and says sleepily
"Merry Christmas hope."
I then do the same with aunt Cissy and tell them to meet us down stairs for breakfast before heading down with the others.

About half an hour later we are still eating breakfast before we go and open the big presents in the living room. James and Scorp are not happy about eating breakfast first and honestly I'm growing impatient. Finally we go through to the living room and open our presents.

James opens one first and he gets a broom. Then Scorp goes and he gets a kids potions kit. Teddy goes next and he gets a book about quidditch. I go and I get a different book but it is also about quidditch. This goes on till it is just me and Teddy's presents for the others and each other left so I go and grab all of them and give James his present and his face lights up when he takes out the toy snitch which only flys five feet of the ground so he can always reach it or someone else can.
"Thanks Teddy and Hope."
I then give Lily her present and she opens it and hugs the teddy bear we got her. We then give aunt Cissy and aunt Dromeda their presents and they both thank us for the quills.
Next Teddy gives Scorp his present and he opens it very quickly before looking up at me and asking pointing at the front of the books he had just unwrapped
"What does that say?"
"It says 'guess how much I love you' and that one says 'big red bath' and the last one says 'each peach pear plum'."
(A/N again all three of those are really books that I like now even though they are children's picture books.)
He smiles then asks
"Will you read them?"
"Not right now but later ok"
He nods and I give Harry his present and he thanks us for the quidditch supplies. Teddy gives Draco his present and says
"I hope you like them we thought you would."
He opens them and holds the robes against his body and asks
"What do you think?"
Harry reply's
"I think you look wonderful."
And then kisses him to which me and Teddy both go
"Ewwww"
They roll their eyes and Harry says
"Ok well you two still have to give each other your presents"
We nod and Teddy hands me a gift I open it to find some beautiful quills and some colour changing ink I look and him and hug him
"Thank you Teddy I love them."
Then say whilst passing his present
"Here is yours I hope you like it."
He opens it up and instantly smiles and says
"I love it thank you"
He through the quaffle that I just gave him at me and yells
"Think fast"
I squeak as it hits me and he laughs. I roll my eyes before Draco says
"We should probably start getting ready to head to the burrow."
We nod and all stand up and go get dressed.
