OPEN!!

[Wes is sneaky as he heads upstairs to the twins' place. All his gifts have been professionally wrapped at the stores except for a bouquet which is really for Andromeda. Dear god she better be here. She also gets one of the wrapped gifts, a rare 1912 edition of Le Morte D'Arthur. For the twins beer, specifically Siamese Twin Ale because even Wes can see the lame joke with that. Even Severus gets a wrapped gift but only because it was an excuse for Wesley to buy another rare tomb. This is an 1873 German original on the medicinal properties of American plants and flowers.

He hopes to sneak the gifts in and then sneak out again before being accosted by someone.]

[ginnydor]

[ What's Wesley doing being so sneaky all over the place? Honestly, it's a party! Ginny stops beside him with her plate of mince pies. ]

Hello! I was hoping you'd come!

[lie_to_him]

[She surprises him with her words]

You did? Your brothers haven't put you up to something have they?

[ginnydor]

What? [ Why on earth was Wesley so suspicious? Honestly. ] No, of course not. Why would they do that? They'd be pleased to see you as well, I expect.

[lie_to_him]

[It's not that he doesn't trust her just that he doesn't trust the twins]

Oh, well, Merry Christmas then.

[ginnydor]

[ Poor Wesley. ]

Yes, Merry Christmas to you too! You'll stay for Christmas cake won't you?

[lie_to_him]

I, uh, yes I suppose I shall. Did you make it?

[ginnydor]

Yes! [ It took so long. ] I couldn't get it exactly how our mum would've, but I think it's close enough. Kanaya made some too.

Come on, I'll get you a slice!

[ She's already moving for the kitchen. She is determined that everyone will enjoy the party and definitely not slink away to be unChristmassy somewhere else. ]

[lie_to_him]

[He follows along in a slight daze. Sure, he could have said no and left, but she was so cheery and cheery people had a way of flustering him]

I'm sure your mother would be proud with whatever you managed.

[ginnydor]

Maybe. [ Ginny privately thinks her mother wouldn't have allowed her anywhere near the kitchen. She could be a bit possessive of the place. ] As long as all you lot like them, that's what matters to me. Just because we can't be home for Christmas doesn't mean we can't have a good time anyway, right?

[ She holds out a king sized slice of this for him. ]

[lie_to_him]

[He sets down his gifts and takes the plate awkwardly. It looks very sweet, but he can't refuse and hurt the girl's feelings.]

Oh, this is very good. Congratulations.

[ginnydor]

Thanks, I'm glad you think so. What else are you doing for the holidays, Wesley?

[lie_to_him]

Oh, uh, well, I have to work on next semester's lessons and there's a bit of reading I want to catch up on.

[He's not THAT much of a loser, okay]

[ginnydor]

[ Wes, you're like a male Hermione. ]

You really love academics, don't you? I have a friend who'd do the exact same thing. She was here for a while.

[lie_to_him]

I'm comfortable with them, yes.

[Look he made himself eat all that cake]

Oh? Perhaps she'll return.

[ginnydor]

[ He is such a good friend. She holds out her hand for his place. ]

Do you want me to take that?

I'd like it if she came back. There's been an awful lot of disappearances lately.
