``simply, having[BURROW KID's]a WONDERFUL xmastime

[Teddy Lupin]

Teddy Lupin was like any young child a Christmas, no matter how old the boy was. The Weasley kids and other family members and honorary family members had decided to spend their Christmas at Hogwarts this year, since it was many of their last years at the school. Although Molly Weasley and the other mothers protested, they understood why this was so important to them and promised to send all their gifts for Christmas, telling them that they would be expect letters to hear how each gift was fabulous. He knew some people wanted to return home to the Burrow for their Christmas, but knowing that this was their last year at Hogwarts or that their older siblings wouldn't be returning back to the Burrow with them made them make the decision to stay. He was currently dreaming of everything possible as the day loomed ahead.

There was only the Weasley's, Potters's, a Lupin and a Lestrange left in Gryffindor Common Room this year, which was a little odd, but at the same time very nice. Like their own Christmas away from home. The place was decorated sometime during the night, gifts had appeared under the trees and at the ends of beds. From the window, you could see the light snowfall that was covering the grounds. It certainly wasn't going to be a green Christmas at Hogwarts. It was at the moment that the sun rose a little higher and cascaded down the face of the sleeping Teddy. His eyes clenched together and groaned, turning away from the bright light. God damned sun, waking him up so bloody early on a.. wait what day was it? He only had to think for five seconds before it registered in his brain. Today was Christmas Day. A wide smile grew on Ted's face as he sat up in bed. He looked at the bottom of his bed, and sure enough a package that looked oddly like a famous Weasley sweater laid at the bottom. Ted jumped out of bed and desperately looked for a pair of wool socks.

One he found them and slipped them on, he grabbed the package at the end of his bed and unwrapped it, finding a green sweatshirt with the letter 'T' on it. Ted smiled and pulled it over his grey t-shirt. He chuckled, now realizing that he was wearing red and green without even trying. He beamed, running at hand through his hair, changing it from mousy brown to red with green highlights. He had it down after years of work, every I've minutes or so it would change from red with green highlights to green with red highlights. He stepped inbetween his two best friends beds, wondering who he should wake first. A mischievous grin grew on his face as he chose his brother, James. He crouched down so that his mouth was right by James's ear and took in a deep breath before shouting "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Before James could attack him, Ted ran to his trunk and grabbed his gift for Rosie that he had gotten the other day and ran down the stairs into the Common Room. Yep, this was definitely going to be a Christmas to remember.

[Lily Potter]

The plans had been made many weeks ago. Everyone that normally spent Christmas at the Burrow was staying at Hogwarts, their home away from home. Lily knew she didn't need to stay, but without her friends there, there was really no point in going home. So, she had opted to stay with her brother and cousins while her mum and father spent time with their friends. It was going to be a super fun break, all alone in the halls of Hogwarts, spending time with her friends without having to do homework or anything of the like.

With the sun rising slowly, the shout echoed through the open door, waking the young red head. She sat up, wiping the sleep from her eyes. She glanced at her alarm clock. "Too damn early to be out of bed." she muttered, stretching her stiff limbs. She really didn't want to get out of bed and leave the warmth behind, but she knew she had too. Then, it hit her. She saw the wrapped gifts at the bottom of the bed and reached for them. She tore one of the open, pulling a maroon sweater from the remains of wrapping paper. She pulled it over her lime green tank top before looking down at the huge "L" that told her it was Weasley made. She grabbed the next package and pulled on her matching socks before jumping out of bed. She decided to see her brother first. She grabbed the two brightly wrapped boxes that contained Zane's presents. She smiled down at them, wondering what Zane's response would be. The smaller of the two was a watch. It was a nice watch, one that Zane had pointed out on a Hogsmeade visit. It wasn't super fancy, but it was pretty nice. Black, silver and dark blue. The larger of the two packages contained a shirt. What it said, Zane would find out later. It was something she'd gotten on a dare. She regretted it the moment she'd walked out of the store. She tossed it lightly on the bed before darting out.

Running into Teddy on the way down, she hugged him tightly and gave him the present. "Hey! Take this! I gotta go...." she said, running off. She bounded up the stairs, a bright smile on her face. As she ran, she pulled her hair up into a loose pony. She finally reached the door, pushing through, a smile plastered on her face. She launched herself onto her older brother's bed, hugging him tightly around the neck. "JAMES! ITS CHRISTMAS!" she exclaimed, shaking her brother fiercely for a second. "Get up! Get out of bed! Come on now, Jam! Its Christmas!" she said, jumping off her bed and dancing around the room. She looked at Zane, who appeared to just be waking up. She sat on the side of his bed, her smile growing wider. "Its Christmas, Zane! Get you butt outa bed!" she teased, pecking him lightly on the forehead before standing up again. She began dancing around the room singing a chorus of "Its Christmas" over and over again, a smile on her face.

[James Sirius Potter]

It was a known fact that James hated being woken up. He was like his uncle Ron in that way. So when he heard a certain Teddy Lupin shout in his ear he jumped up and looked round. The first thing he felt was anger at Teddy for waking him, but then he remembered it was christmas day and smiled "Hey Merry Christmas. I warn you the next time you want to wake me up in that manor just remember, if you do that again I will hex you into oblivion." He looked down at the pile of presents and opened the first one displaying the traditional weasley jumper. He put it on over his shirt. It was scarlet with a gold J in the middle. No sooner had he grabbed Lily's present to give to her when her little body launched at him and hugged him. He fell back into bed and smirked hugging her back "Hey Lils! Merry Christmas!" he said laughing. He gave her her present which was a funky bracelett which he had seen her admiring before. He grabbed Teddy's and Zanes presents and threw them over to them. "Happy Christmas guys!" he said.
