Christmas Gifts

For Annabelle, her secret santa - a selection of Honeydukes’ finest sweets and three ornately bound notebooks

For Louis - a book titled “The Greatest Quidditch Commentators of the 2000s” and the promise to take him travelling over the summer to save him from his family

For Aislinn - a new sketchbook and a baby mobile with miniature Quidditch players (Upon closer inspection, they’re Harpies players. Alice claims it’s never too early to make someone a fan.)

For Sebastian - a bottle of firewhiskey, with the following note “I’ll be happy to help you drink it any time, babe. AAM”

For Cygnus - a green beanie with a note that says “So you have something to show your support for us in the final, love. AAM”

For her team - in each of their lockers, the team finds a huge slab of Honeydukes chocolate and a copy of Alice’s playbook, labelled and enchanted so they can’t be lost. Attached is a note that says “Hope you all got a good rest. Things are about to get a whole lot tougher.”

#I figured it was easier to gather them all in one post than to submit #i'm a lazy fucker #so yhhhh #hc

An owl arrived carrying a package far too big for it, looking proud of itself for not crashing into the ground on it's journey, and delivered the overstuffed package containing the two sweaters to the Mitchell residence.

Granted she didn't know Alice very well, aside from Quidditch related things, but researching was what she did best, and once she'd found out the Chaser's favorite treat, it was a simple matter of figuring out her style for a nice sweater that she ended up wrapping the treats in, and putting the whole neat bundle in a box.

Hope your christmas is a fond one. Enjoy the treats and the sweater. -Secret Santa aka Annabelle Montgomery

Alice,

The first two bottle necklaces have mushrooms in them, they're charmed for luck. The third has Chrysanthemum leaves in it, which are symbolic of life and rebirth. Hopefully they bring you luck.

Happy Christmas,

Ais

“Why is this fucking trunk so heavy?” Alice must have looked quite the picture, grumbling to herself as she dragged the offending luggage across the entrance hall. It fell from her hands with a bang as she reached the top of the stairs to the dungeon. Not for the first time, Alice found herself cursing the location of her house’s common room. She resigned to sit on her trunk for a minute or two, staring grumpily at the staircase and - though she would never admit it - waiting for help to come along.

Here Comes Santa Claus || Alice & Annabelle

Alice had to admit she’d been a little disappointed when she found out who she had for Secret Santa. For one, she didn’t particularly like the girl - she admired her determination and dedication, certainly, but when it interfered with her team, she found it more irritating than endearing. But the bigger problem was that she didn’t actually know her.

Alice loved Christmas. She loved the cold weather, and the friendly atmosphere, and the way everything seemed to slow down for a couple of days. But more than that, she loved presents. Specifically, buying them. It was one of her greatest talents - the ability to find the perfect gift for everyone who was important to her. When it came to things like this, giving gifts to people she didn’t know, Alice had to get creative. And she had to say, she was pleased with the results.

“Ay, Montgomery.” The Slytherin had picked a booth with a good view of the door, partly to keep an eye out for Annabelle and partly so her own Secret Santa would see her - gift-receiving was only slightly less exciting than the giving. When she finally spotted the younger girl, Alice waved her over excitedly, calling out as she did.

Alice was livid. Her anger, which had started as frustration the moment her broom had started trying to throw her off, had been growing in intensity for the eighteen hours she'd spent in the Hospital Wing. The place itself was normally enough to put her in that sort of mood, but today it was down to the knowledge that someone had tampered with her broom. Alice wasn't normally one for vengeance, but if she ever tracked them down, this person would pay. Before her sweet, sweet revenge, however, Alice had to try to get out of the Hospital Wing without anyone realising she had been in there - she didn't want or need people inquiring after her injuries, and this would surely have that effect. She closed the door quietly behind her, wincing as she automatically took the weight on her injured arm, before turning and coming face to face with another person. Great. "Merlin, you scared the shit out of me!" [This is a frightened/panicking Alice gif]

“Don’t know, Alice. I think we can take them…”

“Famous last words, Barnes.”

“Because there’s nothing going on with me. GW just likes to get people up in arms. Phoebus and I are good, Lyn’s been MIA lately, I think she’s compensating for all the talk after their last win. Lane and I are definitely not together. You and I are secret lovers in the night. And… I think that’s it? Unless I’ve missed a new flame I have?”

“You’ve probably missed the six that she invented since we started talking, if that’s the case.”

“You alright, though? Really?”

chasingweasleys:

“Aw Alice, we’ve been in a relationship since I got on the team, I’m ashamed you forgot. That’s why you gave it to me, remember? Couldn’t be apart from me any longer.” He winked at her.

“Oh, no, I could never forget that. I just know we’re far too good at sneaking around for it to turn up in the gossip.”

“Why do I feel like you’re dodging the question, kiddo?”

Birthdays: Louis and Alice

aamitchell-blog

chasingweasleys:

“Aliiiiiice!” He half whined, half called up the stairs, waiting for the appearence of the face he wanted. He stood waiting at the bottom of the stairs like an excited puppy, half wiggling in anticipation. It was her birthday, and Louis loved birthdays. Birthdays meant a chance to dote on his people and spoil his people and no one questioned where he got the money because it was assumed his parents handed him money.

So he’d gotten her a present, but also a cake. A cake that had the house elves laughing at him as he clumsily attempted to make himself. He’d tried this once, for Vic one summer, but she’d laughed at his attempt and he’d not done it since.

But Alice was more a big sister than either of his actual sisters and he thought she’d appreciate the effort. It was even edible! The house evles assured him. So he waited at the bottom of the stairs, the little cake sitting on the coffee table near the couch along with her present, and waited for her to appear.

Alice normally loved her birthday. It was a day where the people she loved have her presents - what wasn't to love? But this year, her heart just wasn't in it.

Maybe it was the anticlimax of the birthday following her seventeenth, or the fact that she missed her family a lot more than she usually did. For the most part, though, her lack of excitement about this seemed to reflect a general glumness she'd felt over the past few weeks, courtesy of her injury and her terrible grades.

In an uncharacteristic move for Alice, she’d taken advantage of her free period first thing and had a lie-in. She was unaccustomed to it, uncertain if she liked the feeling of waking up slowly and not being tired almost immediately. The dorm was already empty, and she didn’t fancy opening the presents and cards that had arrived from her family on her own, so she made her way down into the common room to see if anyone was still around. The sight of Louis waiting at the bottom of the stairs was enough to bring back her usual birthday excitement for a fleeting moment, and she grinned at him. “Morning,” she said, a hint of expectation in her voice that wasn’t too presumptious - why else would he be waiting at the bottom of the stairs to the girls’ dorms on her birthday?

“Nah, she had to tell her dad about this whole mess, and he didn’t take it too well, i guess.”

“Oh shit, I thought he already knew. How’s she holding up, then?”

“Me? Gossip? I don’t pay attention to that bullshit. What’s it saying about me now?”

“You seem to be romantically linked to just about everyone in the castle. I swear, I’m half expecting to open it one of these days and find out we’re in a relationship.”
