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.))

Return owl, warded

[lilypotter60]

(Entire note is shaky and has obviously been started and stopped many times. Some of the ink is blotchy, as if the writer had been crying.)

This is the best present I could have

There's truly no way

How did you

Look at how much he looks like

Merlin, he's so young

These are

Thank you. I honestly... There are...

Thank you.

Return owl, warded to play "Deck the Halls" for anyone else

Lily,

It really wasn't too mucyh of a problem. Harry spent so much time with Ron that it was easy catching them unawares for pictures. I wish I'd gotten more of Harry's early years, but, not to insult your family or anything, but I'd have probably been sent to Azkaban if I were allowed anywhere near that Dursley woman.

At any rate, I'm glad you like the pictures.
Yours,
Molly

P.S. Look, see? I didn't cry at all writing this note. That has to be an improvement, yeah?

Magpie to Molly Weasly.

[overly_verbose]

The returning note is attached to a magpie, and rather ineptly warded. A small christmas star (Poinisettia) has been attacked to the letter as well.

Molly,

Think nothing of it good woman, it was a rather irksome time that played on the nerves of all concerned. I forgive you hapilly since there is nothing to forgive and attach a very small gift to prove I'm not simply saying that. I also express the most ardent admiration of your talent for sizing since the garment fits admirably and shall keep me very warm during the coming months of the winter season. A merry...cristmas (is that the correct spelling for this festival?) to you and thank you very much.

yours,
Salamander

Salamander,
Thank you for the flower. It's lovely. And I'm glad the sweater fits. I hope the rest of your Christmas is merry, and I hope to meet you again under less irksome circumstances.

Yours,
Molly

a school owl brings an utterly unwarded reply (Cersei doesn't know how)

[lionesscersei]

Dearest Molly,

I am overwhelmed by your kindness, as I always have been. This holiday is not something we have in Westeros, or its giftgiving tradition. I do love giving gifts. Now that I am not entirely without means of my own, I can indulge in the practice. It is difficult to be in reduced circumstances; if you ever come to Westeros, I will do much better than this; but please do accept this small token with my best wishes and regards.

*accompanying the note is a silver teapot*

Return owl, warded to play "We Three Kings" for anyone else

[wobblingmolly]

Dear Cersei,

The teapot is lovely. I'm sure I'll get lots of use out of it. Thank you!

As for being in reduced circumstances, as they say, it's the thought that counts.

Yours,
Molly

P.S. Remind me and I'll show you how to ward your owls. The charm is really quite useful.

Hedwig returns

Dear Mrs Weasley,

Thanks very much for the gifs, hope you like this...

Harry

Return owl, charmed to sing "God Rest Ye Merry Hippogriffs"

[toujours_sirius]

((The owl returns, bearing several rolls of parchment and a music box))

Molly,

Arthur is a very smart man. The Firewhisky is brilliant, as are the scarf and the sweets. Thanks very much!

I'm glad you came up here, Molly. Happy Christmas!

-Sirius

PS The parchment is for writing to Arthur (I got it from this Michael bloke in Slytherin - a real berk, but he sells good parchment), and I charmed the music box to play 'A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love' instead of whatever songs it came with. If Arthur decides to take it apart and can't work out how to fix it, let me know. I think I know how the Muggle gears inside it work.
