Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

Chapter 37
Harry and Ginny spent the day Christmas shopping. Getting gifts for the various people wasn't quite as
hard as Harry usually found it, but considering the number of people that he now had to get gifts for, it
was a bit more expensive than usual, not that it mattered he reminded himself more than once.
They started off at the potions shop, replenishing their supplies for the upcoming semester. Then, they
traveled to Quality Quidditch Supplies to get Ron a single Chudley Cannon robe. They had decided
that over the next 7 years they would get him a full set of the most famous players that had been on the
team.
After this they stopped by Flourish and Blots to buy books for Hermione, Mrs. Weasley and Hagrid, A
book on magical law, a book on hobbies and the latest version of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find
Them respectively. For Neville they got a book on exotic plants, and For Luna they got a book of
mythical magical creatures from around the world, hoping that she wouldn't go looking for them.
For Bill and Fleur they had gotten a box of sweets from Honeyduke's Sweet shop on their last
Hogsmead visit. For Percy they stopped by the Caldron Shop and got the caldron with the thickest
bottom they could find, almost 2 feet, and shrunk it. They put it in a small box and put a charm on it so
that when it was open it would grow. For Mr. Weasley Harry decided to go out into muggle London and
get a telephone, much to Ginny's distress.
Harry and Ginny argued about what to do for Angelina and George,
"We're already getting them a wedding present," Harry argued, "why do we have to get them a
Christmas present also?"
"Because, we can't just get them one thing for both occasions," said Ginny. "They don't both have to be
spectacular. In fact I know exactly what to get them for Christmas." With this she walked up to one of
the stalls, which was selling Christmas tree ornaments and pointed to a large gold star. After paying the
witch for it Ginny took it and pointed her wand at it, with a bright flash, words appeared on the front.
She walked back to Harry and handed him the still smoking decoration. It read,
George and Angelina Weasley
Married Saturday, Jan. 2 1999
"It's perfect Gin," said Harry as he handed the star back to her. "But what do we get them for the
wedding?"
"I don't know, bed sheets or something," said Ginny, "I did the Christmas thing, you do the wedding."
Harry rolled his eyes, having no idea what to get for a wedding. He hadn't gotten anything for Bill and
Fleur when they had gotten married, unless of course you counted the 50 or so 'ministry' officials that
had crashed their wedding party.
The two of them wandered around for a while, wondering what to get the couple when Ginny finally
said, "Harry, their not even here for Christmas, let's just give them the damn star for both."
Harry tried to hide his smile, knowing that saying, or even thinking, I told you so would render him
involuntarily celibate for the rest of the week. Instead he said, "That's a great idea Gin," and just left it
at that.
They wandered around for another half hour, just looking in shops and talking for a while. Eventually
they stopped in at the Leakey Caldron for lunch and then decided to split up for an hour to get each
other's presents.
