It's a very Weasley Christmas!
Backdated to early Christmas morning.
More owls go winging their way through the school, delivering goodies.
((If I've missed anyone, and I'm pretty sure I have, I apologize profusely.))
Fred and George will receive identical owls. Their notes read:
Darling,
This gift was entirely your father's idea. He only wishes he could be here celebrating the holidays with us.
Merry Christmas!
Love,
Mum
Their packages contain copies of the Anarchist Cookbook as well as a Weasley sweater and scarf and an assortment of Honeydukes sweets.
Ron's owl is carrying a Weasley sweater and scarf (in maroon, naturally) as well as a bag of Honeyduke's chocolate and a secondhand but still far superior to what he had before broom. The note reads:
Ron,
Have a merry Christmas. I hope you enjoy these.
Love always,
Mum
The owl contains a Weasley sweater and scarf, a bag of Honeydukes sweets, and an amulet which contains a prophylactic charm as well as a small, tasteful set of pearl earrings. The note reads:
The note enclosed reads:
Dear Ginny,
Merry Christmas. I'm sorry we couldn't have anyone home. Every girl needs jewelry, and every girl needs a charm like this, although I certainly hope you don't require one for a while. Of course you know you can come talk to your mum about anything, including... well... personal issues. Also, let me know when we can work on getting you unsquibbed.
Love,
Mum
The owl is carrying a Weasley sweater, scarf, Honeydukes sweets, and a book on advanced wizarding law. The note, which is blotchy, as if someone was crying while writing it, reads:
Dear Percy,
I just want you to know that there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you, and that despite everything that's happened, I'm still your mum and I love you.
Merry Christmas, son.
Love always,
Mum
The owl contains a Weasley sweater and scarf, an assortment of Honeydukes chocolates, and a subscription to Quidditch Illustrated. ((Or whatever the wizarding equivalent is really called.)) The note reads:
Harry dear,
Merry Christmas. I'm sorry we couldn't have you all over at the Burrow for the holidays. I hope you like your gifts.
Love always,
Mrs. Weasley
The owl contains a Weasley sweater and scarf, Honeydukes sweets, and a wizarding photo album filled with pictures of Harry during various stages of growing up, although most of the pictures are of Harry during his Hogwarts years.
The note, blotchy as if someone was crying whilst writing it, reads:
Lily,
It isn't much of a gift, but I've been working on collecting these pictures ever since my sorting. I know you couldn't be there for Harry's childhood, but I hope this helps a little.
Yours always,
Molly
The owl contains a Weasley sweater and scarf, assorted Honeydukes sweets, an amulet with a prophylactic charm on it, and a small wooden figurine of a rampant lion. The note reads:
Dear Cersei,
I hope you like the figurine. A young woman in Ravenclaw house got it for me whilst she was in London. The amulet contains a charm that every woman should find exceedingly useful.
Yours,
Molly
The owl is carrying a Weasley sweater, assorted Honeydukes sweets, and a rain stick. The note reads:
Dear Constable Fraser,
I thought you could use a little Christmas cheer. The gifts aren't much, but I hope you enjoy them.
Merry Christmas,
Molly Weasley
The owl is carrying a Weasley sweater, scarf, a bunch of Honeydukes chocolates, and a pair of socks. The note reads:
Dear Jilly,
Thank you so much for helping me with my last-minute Christmas shopping. It isn't much, but I wanted you to have something.
Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Molly Weasley
The owl is carrying a Weasley sweater, scarf, Honeydukes sweets, and a book titled Charms Every Witch Should Know. The note reads:
Hermione,
Merry Christmas, dear. I hope the book proves useful. We should have tea sometime soon.
Love,
Molly Weasley
The owl contains a scarf to go along with the sweater he got for his birthday, honeydukes sweets, and a bottle of firewhiskey.
The note reads:
Sirius,
I know it isn't much, and I didn't know what to get you, but Arthur always seems to think you can't go wrong with alcohol. Merry Christmas.
Yours,
Molly
The owl contains a Weasley sweater and scarf and some Honeydukes chocolates. The note reads:
Salamander,
I was inexcusably rude to you during our last meeting on the day we switched bodies. I do hope you'll forgive me, and I also hope I got your proper size right.
Yours,
Molly Weasley
