Christmas Presents! Feel free to have your character find them under the tree, outside their door, in the mail, handed over by someone, etc. We can also have an action thread in which she hands them over in person, or a thread in which they thank her/ask her why she got them something so stupid. Text like this = an attached note.

Ariadne!

[This is Ginny and she sounds so pleased and delighted and laughing.]

These are brilliant, thank you.

[oneminutemaze]

[ That is probably the best reaction she could have hoped for. ]

You're welcome. Hopefully I got things at least mostly right. [ She thinks she did -- she checked with a few people -- but she wants to be sure. ]

I got yours, too -- thank you so much.

[7thborn]

You did, absolutely. It's perfect. I've half a mind to hang it up in the cabin, actually, for my brothers too.

[Even Percy.]

You're welcome, of course. And you got to meet Sir Weatherby?

[oneminutemaze]

Great. [ There's a hint of relief there. ] Hopefully I did okay with Harry and George and Fred's, too.

[ Awww. ]

I did! He was very sweet. Waffle wasn't quite sure what to make of him at first, but I think they got along.

[What's up, Smurfette? Freddy's making his way by the engineering department because he promised her a gift exchange of sorts (and maybe an explanation) so here he is, looking not so super cool but at least casual for the Monday after Christmas.]

Hey.

[PS. He has something for her too.]

[oneminutemaze]

[ Ariadne's in her office again today and already contemplating heading home early. It just seems like the right sort of day to do it, especially when most people didn't come in. She's half asleep at her desk when Orange walks in, though as soon as she speaks, she jumps slightly. ]

Wha-- Oh, hey.

[ It's good to see him in one piece. ]

[orangetoughguy]

[Hands up, sort of a white flag gesture or like when the cops tell you to put them in the air.]

Did I scare you?

[oneminutemaze]

No. [ A hand rubs over her face. ]

I think I need to get some coffee, that's all. Busy weekend.

action;

[George is holding the bit of mistletoe in his hand, smiling at her ruefully.]

I thought you said I didn't need this?

[oneminutemaze]

You don't.

[ She just wasn't going to write "also making out/Christmas sex" on a note where anyone could read it. Anyway, she's in that dress she'd mentioned, so writing a note would just be inviting trouble. ]

[greding]

[That it would be. He steps in a little closer to wrap his arms around her waist.]

You're all dressed up. [and he likes it] Going somewhere fun?

[oneminutemaze]

I was thinking about it. I told this guy I know that he'd get to see it, though, and he wanted to be surprised instead of having it described to him.

[ That would be you, George. ]

[totallyinaband]

So. Worried I'm going to get cold?

[oneminutemaze]

Maybe. Everyone can use more scarves, right?

[totallyinaband]

They're great. Thanks, man.

[He's going to give her a quick hug. Because of presents.]

[oneminutemaze]

No problem.

[ :D Hug! She'll just squeeze back. ]
