[ fred himself is moving through the room with a plate loaded with food and his christmas gift from calender man on his shoulder. feel free to pester him! ]

[ginnydor]

[ Ginny would offer him another mince pie, but she's slightly more concerned by that little thing on his shoulder. ]

Are you sure that isn't going to go on fire again?

[notsaintly]

Nah. George has the fire-starter. This little scamp isn't the culprit.

[ so affectionate. these are already his favorite things. ]

[ginnydor]

[ She's still eyeing it with all the suspicion. ]

What does yours do then, something with water?

Open!

[aliveandticking]

[ Aradia has gotten a santa hat from somewhere, and is wearing it at a jaunty angle, sampling bits of food from here and there. She's a little bruised and scraped up from corralling Calendar Man's DELIGHTFUL gift, but seems overall cheery and none the worse for wear. ]

[byholeystgeorge]

[Bruises are just part of the fun. George tips his elf hat (complete with enchanted, wiggling pointed ears on the side) at her as he moseys over to the food.]

Enjoying the spirit of the season?

[aliveandticking]

I am! It's all pretty festive, even if I don't really understand some traditions.

[byholeystgeorge]

Well now, fess up what's giving you the trouble and we'll see if we can't sort that out.

[And thus the annual Christmas lies are ready to begin.]

OPEN!

[ginnydor]

[ Ginny is wandering around with a tray of home-made mince pies which she's quite keen for everyone to try. She's also got her hair tied up with a length of sparkly red and gold tinsel, and is wearing a fluffy Christmas jumper which is a bit more store-bought than she's used to. Still, it wouldn't be Christmas without one. ]

[ Tonks slides up to Ginny. She's wearing green and her hair is a bright shade of crimson. ]

Happy Christmas Ginny.

[ Don't mind Tonks. She's going to try one of those mince pies now. ]

[ginnydor]

Merry Christmas! [ Ginny happily offers the plate. ]

Lovely hair, Tonks, I like it. Very Christmassy.

[fliesacomet260]

[ Tonks takes one! ]

I didn't think I could go wrong with red tonight. It's not only Christmassy, it's also Weasley'ish.

[ And then she it in her mouth. ]

[fliesacomet260]

[ Congratulations Weasleys (this means you too Ron and Ginny), you lot are all getting the same thing from Tonks. Different colors, different sizes, sure. Fleece pullovers with matching hats and gloves. Fred and George's are dark gray. Ron's is navy. Ginny's set is burgundy. All of them have their first initials embroidered in white above their hearts. Molly's not here and Tonks can't knit. It's the thought that counts, right?

Right?

Tonks is going to leave the gifts and then peruse around the party.

She'll try not to trip over anything and everything, the keyword being try.

[byholeystgeorge]

[The thought is totally what counts. Naturally, George has snatched Fred's gift up immediately. Because the ear doesn't give him away or anything.]

Lovely of you to stop by, Tonks.

[fliesacomet260]

I don't think that gift's for you, George.

[ She's just saying is all! ]

Lovely of you to have this party. Are you expecting many people?

[byholeystgeorge]

It was the saint like aura gave me was it?

[He will never let that die. Never.]

As many as feel up to the risk. Fancy we've gained a bit of a reputation some way or another.

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.
