As the days marched on towards Christmas, the rhythm of life at the Burrow settled into a comforting routine, one that wrapped Harry in a cocoon of family and love. The chilly winter mornings seemed reluctant to wake him, as if the sun was willing to let him linger a little longer beneath the blankets. The late nights spent with Ginny had certainly played a part in his reluctance to rise.
Emerging from his slumber, he would find Ron already awake and tousling his hair in a good-natured attempt to rouse him. Together, they would descend the stairs to be greeted by the mouthwatering aroma of a family brunch, a feast that seemed to stretch the boundaries of what a single table could hold. Mrs. Weasley's culinary prowess knew no bounds, and the spread was a testament to her love and dedication.
Sitting down at the table, Harry marveled at the variety of dishes – fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, stacks of pancakes, and an assortment of pastries. The Burrow's kitchen became a haven of laughter and chatter, a symphony of voices that blended into a melody of shared warmth. Even Ron's appetite was challenged by the sheer volume of food, and Harry couldn't help but chuckle at his friend's struggle.
The weather outside was reflective of the season, with a wintery chill that lingered in the air. The occasional snowflake danced from the sky, settling gently on the grasslands that surrounded the Burrow. The landscape was transformed into a picture-perfect winter scene, the white carpet of snow casting a serene tranquility over the land.
The days unfolded in a tapestry of joy and companionship. Quidditch matches in the orchard became a daily ritual, the sky a canvas for their laughter and the echoes of playful taunts. Harry's broom sliced through the air, his heart racing with the thrill of the sport, and he enjoyed being one of the stonger players, although Ginny was the best chaser around. They would spend hours and hours out there; Ron was really trying to perfect his saving technique to staple himself into the house team, and Harry, Ginny, Fred, George and Bill were all happy to help.
In between the Quidditch games, Mrs Weasley was keeping them busy. Harry and Ron would team up for chores around the house, a shared effort to contribute to the household that felt satisfying in its simplicity. They would chop firewood, help Mrs. Weasley with meal preparations, and tend to various tasks that ensured the Burrow ran smoothly, but their least favourite was definitely dealing with the gnomes in the garden. Without the adrenaline that came with being on their brooms, the two of them really felt how cold it actually was, always trying to get that job done as fast as possible.
As the sun dipped below the horizon towards evening time, the family would reconvene for yet another bountiful meal, their appetites sharpened by the day's activities. The table groaned under the weight of the food, a testament to Mrs. Weasley's devotion to ensuring her family never went hungry. The air was filled with the clinking of cutlery, the murmur of conversation, and the warmth of shared laughter.
Even Ron, who was famous for his hearty appetite, sometimes found himself struggling to finish. He would lean back with a contented sigh, patting his stomach with a grin that hinted at his satisfaction. Harry had put on some size over the last few months or so, and a fair bit of muscle, probably from all of the additional exercise he'd been doing, and he definitely couldn't finish his plate of food.
After dinner, the family chilled in the living room, playing games, chatting and setting up some of the Christmas decorations. And soon after, everybody would retire to bed. With Harry going up to Ron's room, although within a few hours he always seemed to end up snuggled around his beautiful girl, enjoying the warmths of each other's company. It was those nights that Harry had Ginny grew even closer, and felt more in love than they ever. Harry explored every inch of her stunning body during the nights, trying to kiss every single one of her freckles that were spotted all over her pale, smooth skin. They made love to each other every night, learning more and more about what the other liked, in terms of positions, angles and frequency.
And Merlin the sex was good. Ginny seemed to have at least six or seven orgasms every night thanks to Harry's magic hands, mouth, and cock, and Harry loved seeing her in such pleasure and happiness. He was happy to take a slight back seat for her gain, putting the focus of every evening's activities on her. One night, he even spent a good four hours or so eating her out. And although his tongue was cramping for the majority of it, he kept at it, and by the end of it, Ginny couldn't even move her body. As dawn approached, Harry would reluctantly leave Ginny's room, tiptoeing back to his designated space in Ron's room, ready for the next day.
------------------------------------------
Finally, the long-awaited Christmas Eve had dawned, and as Harry and Ron stirred awake, they were greeted by the enchanting sight of a snow-covered landscape. Ron's voice was brimming with excitement as he practically pressed his nose against the frosted window.
"Harry, you've got to see this! It's like a winter wonderland out there!" Ron exclaimed, his grin infectious. Harry joined him, a smile tugging at his lips as he admired the soft morning light that kissed the snow-covered ground.
After bundling up in warm winter jumpers, they made their way downstairs, the anticipation for some food was too good to resist any longer, and they soon joined the others downstairs. As Harry's gaze met Ginny's, he couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth. He leaned in, planting a gentle kiss on her cheek. "Morning, Gin," he murmured, his voice carrying a subtle tenderness.
Ginny's eyes sparkled with amusement as she playfully swatted his arm. "Hey there Potter."
Seated at the table, Harry relished in the feeling of being a part of something so close-knit. e. Molly's keen eye caught the exchange between Harry and Ginny, and her heart swelled with motherly pride.
"It's wonderful to see you two getting along so well," Molly commented, her voice a mixture of affection and approval.
Arthur chimed in, his eyes twinkling with paternal delight. "I completely agree, darling."
Harry's cheeks turned a soft shade of pink, an expression of gratitude for the recognition of their blossoming connection. The atmosphere felt charged with a unique energy, and he exchanged a knowing look with Ginny – a silent acknowledgment of their shared moments and feelings.
Bill, with his usual perceptiveness, sensed Harry's slight discomfort. With a playful grin, he interjected, "Speaking of getting along, Fleur's dropping by later today."
The mention of Fleur seemed to pivot the conversation, injecting a new tone into the room. Harry's mind briefly drifted back to the Triwizard Tournament, his last encounter with the Veela. He hadn't seen her since, and the idea of her visit now felt oddly surreal.
Mrs. Weasley tried to play it cool, though a subtle furrow between her brows betrayed her inner thoughts. Bill, however, remained unperturbed by his mother's reaction. "Yeah, she'll be crashing here for Christmas," he continued, his gaze meeting Harry's briefly before shifting elsewhere.
The twins couldn't resist chiming in. "Oh, it's the return of the enchanting Fleur Delacour!" Fred quipped with a mischievous grin.
George added, "Bill, mate, are you ready for some more of that Veela charm?"
Bill chuckled, rolling his eyes at his twins. "You two better behave around her."
Mrs. Weasley seemed to regain her composure, though her eyes held a glint of uncertainty. Arthur's calm presence offered a reassuring counterbalance. "It's lovely of her to join us. We'll be more than happy to have her here."
Bill nodded at his father, happy that he accepted his fiancee, despite his mother's reservations. And the conversation soon steered in other directions. After a few more minutes of general discussion, although mainly eating, Harry spoke up, his voice casual but his gaze lingering on Ginny for a fleeting moment. "Ron and I were thinking of heading to Diagon Alley for a bit, grabbing a few things."
Arthur, ever the watchful father figure, interjected with a gentle reminder. "Be sure to stay cautious out there. The streets can be quite crowded this time of year."
Fred and George exchanged an excited glance before grinning mischievously at the table. "Well, we've got our own Diagon Alley plans," Fred began, his eyes dancing with mischief. "We're heading over to the shop, and let me tell you, we're expecting it to be the biggest day of revenue in Weasley's Wizard Wheezes history!"
The proclamation was met with a mix of amused skepticism and intrigued curiosity. Molly raised an eyebrow at her twins. "Is that so?"
George nodded emphatically, his grin unapologetically wide. "Absolutely, Mum. We've got a good feeling about today."
The twins' confident declaration elicited chuckles and good-natured ribbing from the rest of the family. Ron couldn't help but comment, "You two are always up to something, aren't you?"
Fred and George exchanged a playful look before George quipped, "We prefer to call it entrepreneurial spirit.
-------------------------------------------------
On the bustling streets of Diagon Alley, the winter air held a crisp edge, and the enchanting atmosphere was alive with holiday cheer. Harry, Ron and the Twins strolled through the cobblestone lanes, their steps synchronized with the rhythm of the busy city. The colorful shops displayed an array of festive decorations, and the chatter of shoppers and the tinkling of bells filled the air.
As they reached the heart of the magical marketplace, Fred and George exchanged a knowing look before breaking away from the group. Their laughter carried over their shoulders as they headed in the direction of their shop.
Ron turned to Harry with a grin, his eyes shining with anticipation. "Alright, mate, I need to find something for Hermione."
Harry's own smile matched Ron's, knowing that this was a significant step for his friend. He had heard Hermione's confession about her feelings for Ron, and he was pleased to see Ron finally taking action. "Go for it, Ron. Get her something nice and meaningful. She deserves it."
Ron's cheeks flushed, a mix of excitement and nerves. "Yeah, I will. Thanks, Harry."
With a friendly pat on Ron's shoulder, Harry gave him an encouraging nod. "You've got this, mate."
They briefly agreed they'd meet back here later on, before they went their separate ways. Harry watched him go, a sense of pride for his friend warming his heart. He remembered Hermione's frustrations about Ron's obliviousness, and he was glad that Ron was making an effort to change that.
Harry's gaze scanned the rows of shops, his mind focused on a particular mission – finding the perfect gift for Ginny. He had spent countless hours pondering over what would truly convey his feelings, and he had arrived at the conclusion that jewelry was the answer. Something beautiful, meaningful, and enduring. He knew that gold would match Ginny's warm skin tone and vibrant hair perfectly, and it felt like the right choice.
His steps guided him into a charming jewelry shop, its interior adorned with sparkling displays that caught the light and filled the space with an ethereal glow. As he moved further in, his eyes were drawn to a display on the far end. There, resting on a velvet cushion, was a stunning gold necklace adorned with delicate patterns that seemed to dance in the light. It was a piece that held a timeless elegance, and he couldn't help but feel that it was a reflection of Ginny's spirit – a combination of strength and grace.
Without second thoughts, Harry approached the counter, his gaze still locked on the necklace. The shopkeeper, a kind witch with a knowing smile, greeted him. "Can I assist you with something, young man?"
Harry tore his gaze away from the necklace to meet the shopkeeper's eyes. "I'd like to buy that necklace," he said, his voice steady with resolve.
The shopkeeper's smile widened as she retrieved the necklace from its display. "Ah, a choice that speaks of elegance and sentiment."
As she placed the necklace before him, Harry's fingers brushed against the cool gold, and he couldn't help but imagine the joy he'd see in Ginny's eyes when she wore it. "It's perfect," he murmured, his heart soaring with anticipation.
After the transaction was settled, Harry left the shop with the necklace safely tucked into a small bag. He found a quieter corner of Diagon Alley, away from the bustling crowds, and took a moment to examine the necklace. It was even more exquisite up close, the patterns intricate and enchanting. With a flick of his wand, he added a few finishing touches – subtle charms that would not only enhance its beauty but also serve as a reminder of their connection.
The first charm he cast would alert him if Ginny ever found herself in danger. A warm, protective feeling enveloped the necklace as the charm took hold, the pendant gaining a faint, pulsating glow. Harry's determination to keep her safe fueled this charm, a silent promise that he'd always be there for her.
The second charm was more intricate – a discreet portkey activated by a specific trigger. Harry's mind drifted to a phrase that would be both unique and personal to them. He settled on the word 'horntail,' a nod to their shared adventure during the Triwizard Tournament. With a precise flick of his wand, the charm was set.
------------------------------------------------
As Harry was walking back towards his meeting spot with Ron, he glanced to his left and saw Quality Quidditch Supplies, and a spontaneous idea had taken root in his mind – a way to express his deep gratitude to the Weasleys for all they had done for him.
Entering the store, he was surrounded by a whirlwind of broomsticks, equipment, and posters of legendary Quidditch players, and Harry couldn't help but smile. As he browsed the selection, his plan took shape. The broom selection at the Burrow had seen better days; they were old and limited, a far cry from the top-of-the-line models available today. Harry knew that an upgrade was long overdue.
With a sense of purpose, he approached the counter, where a knowledgeable sales witch greeted him with a warm smile. "Welcome to the Quidditch store! How can I assist you today?"
Harry returned the smile, his eyes glancing over the broomsticks around him. "I'd like to make a purchase – nine broomsticks, to be exact, and a training snitch."
The sales witch's eyebrows raised in surprise, but her professionalism kicked in. "Certainly. Are you looking for a specific model or type?"
Harry nodded. "I was thinking a mixture of Cleansweeps and Nimbus brooms."
As they worked together to select the brooms, Harry's heart swelled with appreciation. He chose each one with care, envisioning how the Weasley family would benefit from having a set of upgraded broomsticks. He made sure that one of the brooms was specialized for Ron; being a keeper, this broom would have enhanced stability and control, specialized braking mechanisms, and importantly, the bristles would cover a larger surface area. He also made some modifications to what would be Ginny's broom, adapting it to her Chaser attributes; being lightweight which would lead to more speed and maneuverability, and very aerodynamically favourable.
After finalizing his choices, Harry decided to have them delivered to the Burrow on Christmas day. It felt like the perfect way to express his gratitude, a heartfelt gesture that spoke volumes about his feelings for the Weasleys. The sales witch nodded, taking down the details of the order.
As he left the store, a sense of satisfaction washed over Harry. He knew that this gift would mean a lot to the Weasleys, although Harry was sure he'd have to argue with them to accept the gifts, but he knew he'd win the debate. So, he headed back towards his meeting spot with Ron.
---------------------------------------------------
In the late afternoon, Harry and Ron returned from their Diagon Alley excursion, their arms laden with carefully chosen gifts, and they stowed away their presents in their rooms, ready for the upcoming Christmas festivities. Descending the familiar creaky staircase, they were greeted by the vibrant atmosphere that only the Weasley household could provide. The living room was alive with twinkling lights and festive decorations, and lots of voices could be heard as conversation flowed freely, creating an atmosphere of joyful anticipation.
Among the familiar faces, Harry's attention was briefly captured by the stunning presence of Fleur Delacour. Her beauty was striking, as always, and he couldn't help but admire the elegance with which she carried herself. Their gazes met for a fleeting moment, a cordial smile exchanged along with some pleasantries, catching up about what she'd been up to recently.
As the family chatted and laughed, the conversation turned to Bill's plans for the afternoon. With an easygoing air, he mentioned that he was heading to Diagon Alley to check in on the progress of the twins' shop. In the corner of his eye, Harry could see Fleur and Ginny deep in a somewhat discrete conversation, a look of anticipation lingering in both of their eyes, and Harry was curious about what to think. But soon, everybody left to chll before dinner in a few hours; Ron and Arthur began a chess match which would inevitably end up being more than one game, Bill headed off to Diagon Alley, and Ginny and Fleur headed upstairs. Unsure about where to go, Harry decided to venture upstairs and see what they were up to.
The scene that greeted him was unexpected yet intriguing. Ginny and Fleur were engaged in conversation, their heads inclined towards each other, their voices hushed as if sharing a secret. Harry's presence went unnoticed for a fleeting moment as he observed them, detecting an air of something unique, a sort of camaraderie that seemed to stretch beyond the surface.
As Ginny noticed him, her eyes lit up, and she broke away from her conversation with Fleur, moving towards him with a smile that held a touch of mystery. "Hey," she greeted, her tone infused with a mixture of excitement and affection.
"Hey," Harry replied, his curiosity piqued by the atmosphere in the room. Something was different – a subtle shift in the air that made him feel both intrigued and slightly off balance.
Ginny's gaze was fixed on him, her expression holding a twinkle of anticipation. "I have a little early present for you."
His eyebrows raised in surprise, Harry followed her gaze, his eyes locking onto Fleur, who was now looking at him with an intensity that he couldn't quite decipher. The room seemed to hold its breath for a moment, the weight of the unspoken hanging in the air.
Harry's confusion deepened, his gaze shifting from Ginny to Fleur and back. Fleur's eyes met his, and her expression held a mixture of vulnerability and determination. There was a certain longing in her gaze that stirred something within him. "I know zis may seem unexpected, 'Arry," she began, her voice carrying the lilt of her accent. "But I 'ave come to admire your courage, and I want to repay you for what you did for my sister all those years ago."
Harry's response was equally measured, his voice husky with a tinge of vulnerability. "I appreciate that, Fleur. But I... I thought you were engaged to Bill."
Fleur's gaze held a mixture of honesty and intrigue. "Oui, I am. But zis is not about that. Zis is about a moment, a thank you."
Ginny's soft chuckle broke through the tension, her hand slipped into his, grounding him in the moment. "Bill doesn't know, and we plan to keep it that way. Fleur wants to show her appreciation, and I think it's a lovely gesture."
In a swift, almost primal movement, Fleur closed the distance between them. Her lips met his in a kiss that held none of the emotional weight of a gentle caress. Instead, it was passionate, raw, and intense. Harry's fingers instinctively tightened around her hand, the urgency of the moment driving his actions.
The taste of Fleur's lips was a heady mixture of unfamiliarity and desire. It was a kiss that held the weight of unspoken gratitude and a shared understanding of the circumstances that had brought them together. Their lips moved with a fervent urgency, their bodies drawn closer in an unspoken dance of longing.
Ginny, a silent observer, watched the kiss unfold as her hormones started to rage. Watching her boyfriend get off with a stunning French Veela was a sight to behold, and she was loving it..
As the kiss deepened, Harry's senses were ablaze. He could feel the heat of Fleur's body against his, the press of her lips igniting a fire within him. The moment was unrefined, unapologetic, and completely intoxicating.
A surge of desire coursed through Harry's veins, and he met Fleur's gaze with a mixture of intensity and longing, and his tongue was wrestling against hers for domination of their mouths. When they finally parted, their breaths mingled in the charged air, Harry quickly walked over to Ginny, who had locked the door, and gave her a quick kiss, saying, "I love you so much, thanks for the early present, baby." Ginny laughed and playfully smacked him on the arse whilst Harry cast a silencing charm on the room.
Turning around, Harry saw something that blew his mind. Fleur had stripped off all of her clothes, revealing her bare naked form to him. She was literally the textbook definition of beauty and attraction, with perfectly proportioned tits that were a decent size and a perfect shape, sitting upright on her golden chest. Her body was toned, and her pussy was completely shaved, opposite an appealing looking ass, although Harry did prefer Ginny's. His eyes continued to roam around her body, taking in as much information as he could. Harry couldn't resist any longer, and walked up to her magnificnet body. His hands moved straight towards her chest, as he confidently and firmly cupped her large, round breasts. For a few minutes, Fleur just stood there and let Harry touch her, letting her really let his hands work their teasing magic. Harry squeezed her tits, and occasionally started flicking and running his fingers over her now hardened pink nipples. Her skin was so incredibly soft and silky, and Harry could feel the Veela energy exuding from the beauty in front of him, trying to draw him in.
"Arry," Fleur whispired in his direction, "Zis is for saving ma petite sœur."
The blonde beauty dropped down onto her knees, her large breasts and arse jiggling as she moved onto the floor. She slowly undid his belt, and pulled his trousers down to the ground. His cock was painfully stuck within the confines of his boxers, desparate to be let out of its bounds. Fleur smiled as she saw his enormous length when she removed his boxers, his cock springing free. She leaned in, and wrapped her plump lips around the head of his penis, and she used her tongue to swirl around the tip.
"Fuckkk" She heard Harry grunt and exhale from above, clearly a fan of what she was doing.
Fleur then opened up her mouth, leaving the tip perched between her lips, and she spewed out some saliva which coated his member. She wanted this sloppy. Taking a deep breath, she engulfed some of his length into her mouth and back up again, bobbing up and down on his cock, The room was filled with the sounds of squelching fluids and jerks of her lips as she continued to go down on him, jerking his cock repeatedly. Soon, she managed to take his entire length in, with only a slight hint of a gag. Harry groaned loudly as his balls slapped against her chin as she deepthroated him, painting his length with thick saliva. Harry's moans continued as his cock remained submerged in her throat for a few more moments, the warmth and smooth feeling of the back of her throat was spectacularly pleasurable.
Finally removing him from her throat and taking a much-needed breath, Fleur took a moment to recover and began jerking him off with her hands, twisting and pumping his entire length. In the back of the room, Ginny was sitting down on the floor. Her legs were spread out and her shorts were off, with one hand fingering herself whilst the other was massaging her tits; she really did get turned on by seeing Harry with other girls.
Fleur's hot tongue swept across the length of his cock and swirled its way around his shaft, leaving Harry in a state of pure bliss. "Fuckkk", Harry whimpered. As she then took him back into his mouth, sucking hard on his member, Harry was getting very close to his release. He could sense her allure working, heightening his pleasure as she forcefully pushed her head down, her nose coming into contact with his groin. Harry couldn't take it anymore, and burst deep inside of her throat. Her cheeks, throat and gullet were painted shades of milky white whilst Fleur attempted to suck him dry, a task that she succeeded at. Eventually, Harry's spurts of cum subsided, and he retreated back and sat on top of the bed.
"Arry, you ave a wonderful cock" Fleur said simply, moving her body back towards his. Harry took a quick glance at his girlfriend, who was really getting into it now, spasming on the floor whilst she meticulously rubbed her clit as she rode out an orgasm, and the sight of it kick started Harry's cock into gear, his erection beginning to start once again. Fleur noticed this in slight shock, she'd never seen anybody recover that fast, but she was very glad. The Veela moved her legs onto the bed, and straddled Harry, embracing him in an enticing and passionate kiss, tongues fighting for dominance of their shared space. Fleur pushed him down onto the bed so that he was lying down, with his now-firm cock pointing up towards the ceiling. Looking down, Fleur grabbed his cock and pushed it up against her outer lips, rubbing it against their slippery wet surface until his tip was shimmering with her juices. Wasting no more time, she slowly dropped down and Harry slipped inside of her. Both of them moaned and grunted, along with Ginny who was carefully watching, as she sunk further and further down. She was incredibly tight and warm, and Harry was in ecstasy. Fleur let out a quiet, french sigh and closed her eyes as she completely encased his cock within her pussy. She began moving her hips forwards and backwards, rubbing his length against her walls whilst keeping him trapped inside.
"Fucckkk...'Arry..." Fleur moaned out as she continued to grind her hips, massaging his cock with her tight walls.
Harry was in a state of pure pleasure. Riding him was a beautiful, blonde Veela, who was as tight as anybody other than Ginny he'd ever shagged, and the feeling was incredible. His eyes were fixed on her large tits, that bounced up and down with her movements. He grabbed them firmly fondling them as she rode him, her screams getting louder and louder as the speed increased. A bonus of this position was that as she began leaning forwards, her clit was rubbing against Harry's torso, pressing on him as she moved, which drove Fleur to heigjtened sensations that she adored.
"Ouiii....Ouiii....Yess...Fuckkk" Fleur shouted out. Harry loved hearing girls as he fucked them, and this was no different. The noises overwhelmed him, bringing him closer and closer to his edge. It seemed that Fleur was also nearing her edge too, pushing down harder and harder on his length, trying to hit her walls as deeply as possible. Second by second, her movements became more primal and animalistic, her hair was swinging around wildly and her boobs were bouncing and vibrating at an incredible rate. His girth filled her lips which gripped him tightly, and her walls clamped down on him with each movement.
"'Arry...'Arry...Ouiiiiiii..." Fleur screamed out as her climax finally hit her.
Her speed was frantic as she orgasmed, moving her hand down towards her pussy and rubbing her clit roughly to finish the job. Harry had done well to hold out for so long, and as she clmaped down on him, he grabbed her arse from behind and gave her one last powerful thrust, shooting his cum deep inside of her. Both of them collapsed down onto the bed in a heap; their sweating bodies sticking to the covers like glue. Fleur's eyes were still rolled back into their sockets, and she looked like she was barely concious. Harry loved the sight. He saw Ginny approaching them from behind, and she looked just as worked up as them, sweating, and her fingers were coated in her own juices.
To finish the afternoon off, before Bill got back, Ginny sat down near Fleur and started to lick his cum that was now flowing out of her soaking pussy. Ginny moaned at the salty taste of her Boyfriend's juices, and Fleur's hands turned white as she gripped the sheets in pleasure. The two of them were like this for minutes, with Fleur crying out Ginny's name a few times, and Ginny eagerly eating out the Veela, until finally, all of his cum was gone. Not a single drop could be seen.
Fleur eventually got up, on slightly shaky legs, and got changed. She winked at Harry and Ginny as she left, leaving all three of them satisfied with how this Christmas was going. After Fleur had left the room, a lighthearted atmosphere settled in. Harry turned towards Ginny with a playful grin, his eyes dancing with a mixture of affection and amusement.
"Well, that was certainly unexpected," he remarked with a chuckle, his voice carrying a hint of mischief.
Ginny's laughter was infectious, her eyes sparkling as she met his gaze. "I thought you might appreciate the gesture," she replied, her tone teasing.
Harry's smile broadened, his fingers lightly brushing against hers. "Appreciate doesn't even begin to cover it," he quipped, the double meaning of his words not lost on either of them.
With a playful swat to his arm, Ginny rolled her eyes, her lips curving into a grin. "Oh, you."
Harry leaned in, his lips brushing against hers in a gentle, affectionate kiss. It was a kiss that held a mixture of gratitude, playfulness, and the unspoken understanding that had always existed between them. As they pulled away, he couldn't help but admire the spark of mischief in her eyes.
"You know," he began with a wry grin, "I think that was the most unique early Christmas present I've ever received."
Ginny's laughter filled the room again, a musical sound that Harry cherished. "I'm glad you enjoyed it," she replied, her fingers entwining with his.
With a mock sigh, Harry glanced around the room. "I suppose we should probably get cleaned up before dinner. I don't think Mum would appreciate us showing up looking like we've been shagging in her house."
Ginny's laughter subsided, and she nodded in agreement. "You're right, as usual. Let's not keep Mum waiting."
