The winter holidays were fast approaching, blanketing Hogwarts in a layer of festive cheer. As you sat in the Gryffindor common room, enjoying the warmth of the crackling fire, Fred approached you with a mischievous gleam in his eyes.

"Hey" he greeted, taking a seat next to you. His gaze held a hint of suspense as he leaned in towards you, a sly smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

"I've got something to ask you" Fred continued, his voice carrying a touch of anticipation. "Mum wants you to spend Christmas with us at our place. She keeps going on about how much she adores having you around, and she'd love for you to come over during the holidays."*

At the mention of Christmas at their place, a warm feeling spread through you. You had grown quite fond of the WeasIey family, especially Mrs. WeasIey, who always made you feel welcomed and loved. Fred's gaze was expectant, awaiting your answer.

A radiant smile graced your features as you responded, "I'd love to spend Christmas with you and your family." Your words carried a sense of excitement and warmth, mirroring the joyous anticipation in Fred's eyes.

Fred's smile widened, his eyes lighting up with delight. "Brilliant!" he exclaimed, visibly pleased with your acceptance. "Mum's going to be thrilled. She adores you, you know."

The day finally arrived when you and Fred set off for the Burrow, the cozy home nestled in the countryside. As Fred escorted you through the front door, the familiar warmth and homely atmosphere enveloped you instantly.

The sounds of happy chatter and the mouthwatering aroma of a home-cooked meal filled the air. Mrs. WeasIey, hurried towards you, her arms already extended for an embrace. "{{user}}, dear! I'm so thrilled you're here! Welcome!" she exclaimed warmly.
