Scarlet Malfoy's POV
Tomorrow was Christmas with all of the family.
Our christmas tradition is to go to the beach, have drinks, then have a big dinner together. So that's what we're gonna do.
We always apparate to White Haven beach in Western Australia around 11 after opening presents. We swim, snorkel, sun bathe, then come back. We all get ready and have dinner together.
"Scarlet! Go to sleep!" My mum calls from outside my door. I turn off my light,
"I was never awake!"
She can shove off. It's literally only 11pm. It's not like my light being on is distracting her in her own room.
"Goodnight. Love you." She cooed, her footsteps echoing through the hall as she leaves.
♔
I get woken up to my door creaking open, and whispering. She better not do what i think she's about to do,
"Merry Christmas!"
Maya jumps on top of me in my bed. I grunt and push her off.
"Shove off." I mumbled as i toss over.
"Oh Scar, don't be such a prick." My dad calls from my door.
I roll my eyes, and turn over to face my sister kneeling on my bed looking down at me with her doe like eyes, and my dad leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed.
I opened my eyes slowly, blinking to get use to the light shift, then flared at my smirking dad, "You egged her on to do that didn't you?"
He nodded proudly, then gestured to the hallway,
"Breakfast and presents are downstairs. Everyone's waiting for you." He leant off the door frame, and made his way out.
My eyes moved to my smiling younger sister, "What do you want?"
Her face turned hard, "My presents. So please get up so i can receive them." She kissed my head, my jumped off my bed, following my dad.
So much like dear mother.
I pulled myself out of my warm bed, grabbed my grey fluffy blanket off my bed, wrapped it around myself, the left in no hurry.
The marble staircase was cold my socked feet as i descended then into the open lounge room.
"Good morning my love." Mum greeted my from the kitchen.
"Morning."
I'm not a morning person if you couldn't already tell. Much rather party at night then have to wake up and survive the day.
Her head picked around the kitchen wall, "Tea and crumpets are on a platter on the coffee table. We're about to open presents."
I nodded, and went to sit down next to Asher who was on the floor.
I picked up one of the teas and turned to my zombie looking brother, "Morning dick face."
"Morning fake blonde." He seethed, running a hand through is practically albino hair.
I blinked a couple times at his comment, "Your more blonde then me, you Dimwit."
He inspected my hair, then looked back down to the crumpet on his plate, "But i don't dye mine."
"Neither."
Before our little chat could go any further, dad, mum, and maya walked in, and joined us sitting around the coffee table next to the christmas tree.
"Merry christmas spawns." Dad smiled, taking a bite out of his crumpet.
"Merry christmas, presents time?" Maya jumped up and down now joyfully as she stared at the pile of firsts under the tree.
"Yes," Mum laughed grabbing a present and passing it to her, "All of these are from Santa." She gave Asher and I a pointed look, then passed the small cube to the over the moon child.
It took no time for her to rip it open. She gasped at the forrest green velvet box. She opened it slowly. A pair of gold plated star earrings shone brightly at her.
She looked up to my beaming mum, "I know you wanted your ears pierced, so i'm letting you get them done."
Asher snorted and looked at my straight faced father, "Did you agree to this?" Ash asked.
Dads tongue rolled on the inside of his cheek, "No. No i didn't."
Mum slapped his arm, "Suck it up. Can't protect her from pain for we. Beauty is pain."
He rolled his eyes, and buttered another crumpet.
Mum passed a present to Asher who quickly opened it.
Another forrest green velvet box appeared.
"Did i get star earrings too?" Ash asked sarcastically.
Dad raised his eyebrows in competition, "Do you wanna keep the priceless gift?"
Ashers head dropped to the rectangular box. He opened it slowly.
The Malfoy heirloom.
It had been in the family for generations after generations,
A silver, diamond engraved watch with the Malfoy crest in emerald as the face stared at Asher who was utterly astounded.
"A-are you sure?" He stuttered as he took out the watch as if it were a irreplaceable artefact.
I mean it was a irreplaceable artefact.
"No." Dad laughed, but urged him to put it on. Asher gently placed it on his wrist, and clipped it on at the back.
"It had unbreakable charms on it, no need to be so delicate."
Asher nodded, not really paying a lot of attention to what he was saying.
"Scarlet," Mum passed my gift to me.
Another forrest green believer box was passed to me.
It was the same size as Ashers, which was obviously bigger then Mayas.
"A watch?" I smiled before opened the gift.
Mum shook her head, "You already got the Black heirloom, so this is kinda like a Granger heirloom."
The Blacks heirlooms were the crest ring, and the family tree tapestry. I was given the Black crest ring. I wear it everywhere. It's a black simple diamond in the middle, but engraved into the gem was the Blacks crest. Skull at the top, wand and hand in the middle, and last was 3 ravens, all inside a shield.
Written on the inside of the band was 'Toujour Pur.'
Always Pur. This was broken by my parents, but love comes first.
Small emeralds and rubies were placed on the sides to signify the loyalty to Slytherin and Gryffindor.
Uncle Sirius had added the rubies with Uncle James, Uncle Remus, and the rat for fun when they got into Gryffindor, and the ring was passed to him from Regulus.
He gave no shits about the specialty of keeping the Slytherin blood running.
Maya was going to be given the Black family tree tapestry when she turned 14. That's when i was given the ring, and Ash was now given the watch.
I didn't think there was another heirloom. Let alone a Granger one at that.
I looked up from the box to look at my mum, "What's the Granger heirloom?"
She smiled gently, "My great grandmother Ellie, made a jewellery business when she was 17. She was a witch. Her first necklace was cursed by Gellert Grindelwald when he was doing dark experiments at Durmstrang. She got caught up in the whole situation and got cursed, along with her necklace she was wearing.
After she passed away from that, it got handed to my grandmother still cursed, then to my mother, then to me."
I furrowed my eyebrows together trying to understand what she said. "What was the curse?"
Mum sighed, "To have no luck - leading to being poor because our family was always unlucky."
"Are you still cursed if you have the necklace?" Maya asked in awe. She was so fascinated in all of this.
Mum shook her head, "No. In my second year, with a little help of magic i managed to lift the curse with Harry and Ron."
"Wow..." Maya mumbled staring at mum as if she was a goddess.
"Just open it already!" Asher urged, earning a glare for both our parents to shut up.
My fingers brushed against the soft velvet fabric as i opened the case. Immediately i got blinded by a scarlet gemstone hanging of a silver thin chain. The gem was shaped as a tear and had diamonds surrounding it.
I picked the gem up in my fingers carefully, and looked up to my mum, from the gem, "M-mum... This is gorgeous..."
It really was breathtaking. Something so small with such a big story. The reason of my mums poorness are a child.
"Well it's your now." She said warmly, picking up the wrapping paper from everyone.
Maya jumped up and ran to the cupboard the TV was sat on, "We still have presents for you two!"
"And what about your gifts for each other?" I added, noticing neither of them had exchanged gifts.
Mum and dad turned to each other, dad wearing the Malfoy smirk, and mum wearing one that could compete,
"We already gave each other our presents." Dad said chummily.
"What'd you get each other?" Maya asked as she sat down.
Asher hadn't spoke as he was still watching his new watch click with each second. Mesmerised.
Mum chuckled, "You wouldn't understand honey."
Maya furrowed her eyebrows together in disappointment,
"I'm very smart you know."
"That's because you have your mothers brains." Dad cooed, smiling at his youngest child.
"So... what'd your get each other?" Asher asked again lifting his head from his watch.
Mum looked to my dad and shook her head whilst smiling,"Adult things."
I immediately fake gagged knowing what they meant.
Asher did the same, and spat out his crumpet that was half eaten.
Maya stared that the laughing couple puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"You'll find out with Noah." I joked knowing that they would so end together.
Mum leant across the group and slapped my arm.
I winced and rubbed my arm, "No need to be so harsh."
Asher leant back on his hands, "We all know it's gonna happen."
