Harry Potter and the Christmas TreeBy Adrian Campbell

Act One Father Christmas. The Weasleys HouseNarrator A fire roared in the big fireplace and the Weasleys lounge smelled of

fir and pine cones.There was laughter and happy voices, yet somehow Harry couldn’t relax and enjoy it. Something was bothering him.When the Weasleys stared to sing “Silent Sprite” and “God Rest ye Merry Hippogryphs” an unbearable ache welled up inside of him. He quietly went and grabbed his coat.

Fred Harry, where are you going?

Harry I have to go outside…I’ll come back later

Narrator Harry grabbed his coat and went out of the door and into the dark, snowy night.

Narrator The snow was piling up high around the house early at this year.Everyone was enjoying the Christmas holidays except Harry.

Narrator Harry stumbled out into the deep snow and walked through the gardens. He didn’t belong here, souring everyone else’s Christmas. He didn’t even want to think of Christmas let alone celebrate it.How could he, without any father and mother or his godfather Sirius Black to celebrate it with. He only had Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia, and they had made it very clear that he couldn’t stay with them this Christmas. Harry sat in the cold sparkling snow trying to stop any tears. Warmth slowly enveloped him and a light shone past his closed eyelids. Harry opened his eyes to watch a snowman quickly turning into Albus Dumbledore sitting in the snow across from him.

Harry What are you doing here? I thought you were dead?

Narrator But, the man wasn’t Dumbledore.He was much shorter and rounder than Dumbledore and he wore robes of red and white instead of purple and had a big fluffy white beard instead of a silver one.

Father Christmas I’m always around at this time of year

Harry Who are you?

Father Christmas You’re a smart boy. Can’t you guess?

Harry No …?

Father Christmas I’m Father Christmas

Harry No, seriously, who are you really?

Father Christmas Yes, seriously, I am Father Christmas

Harry There’s no such thing!

Father Christmas Why would you think that?

Harry Because if Father Christmas brings gifts to all the children every Christmas eve …How come while I was growing up at the Dursleys, I never received a single Christmas present ?

Father Christmas Ah yes, that is true. But tell me, Harry, if I had brought you a gift would your Uncle Vernon have let you keep it? He doesn’t believe in me and he would have known that the gift didn’t come from himself or your Aunt Petunia, therefore it must have been magic and would have to be destroyed

Harry Yes.

Father Christmas Besides Harry, I couldn’t give you what you most desired: the gift of love and friends and a family. Those are the most important things and you have those now.

Harry My family is dead.

Father Christmas But you have people right now who love you, but you are too wrapped up in yourself to see that

Harry Even Sirius and Dumbledore are dead now.

Father Christmas Christmas is about love and hope, not sadness and pain. Go back now and let the Weasleys give you the Christmas you’ve been longing for all these years.

Narrator Harry turned around and saw Mrs Weasley waiting for him at the porch with a smile.When he looked back he found himself alone and no sign that Father Christmas had ever been there.

Mrs Weasley Oh Harry, there you are

Harry Sorry I ran off like that. I just wanted to be by myself for a bit

Mrs Weasley It will be all right, don’t you worry. Everything will work itself out. We’re all here for you

Harry Thanks

Mrs Weasley Come inside now and straight to bed. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and it will be a full day of family fun, all right Harry?

Harry Yes, goodnight.

Act Two The Death Eaters. Harry’s bedroom in the Weasleys House.

Narrator Harry couldn’t sleep. Eventually he had just dosed off and started to dream about chains wrapped around a gigantic Christmas tree, clanking in the wind whistling down the Chimney.His sock hung limply at the end of the bed.

Narrator Suddenly with a flurry of fresh snow, a jolly Father Christmas appeared down the chimney.Harry woke with a start.

Harry Who’s there?Is that you Mr Weasley?

Father Christmas Ho Ho, Ho Hic.

No it’s only me… Santa.

Hic

Harry Father Christmas … are you drunk?

Father Christmas No,

Hic, Burp.

It’s just that I’ve been delivering presents to the Malfoys, and I think the mince pies had a curse or spell on them.

Narrator Father Christmas staggered and fell onto Harry’s bed

Harry Oh no! We have to get you better.Have you more presents to deliver?

Father Christmas I’ve still got half my bags left to deliver. I’ll need many trips back to the North Pole to get it all done.

Narrator A magic map of chimneys fell out of Father Christmas’s hand as he fell back onto Harry’s pillow.

Harry Who’s going to deliver them all?

Father Christmas My brother, Dumbledore, said I could trust you to do it for me just this once.

Harry Dumbledore ! Is he alive?

Father Christmas I saw his ghost.

Narrator Father Christmas started to snore and spoke no more.

Harry rushed down stairs to wake the Weasleys.

Mrs Weasley came up and checked on Father Christmas.

Mrs Weasley My, he does look a bit like Dumbledore doesn’t he.

Harry Is he alright?

Mrs Weasley I think it’s the Stupefacto curse.

Narrator She waved her wand

Mrs Weasley Ennervatus!

Harry It’s not working.Let me try something.

Reparo Intoxico!

Narrator A green mist swirled round Father Christmas’s head and he woke up.

Father Christmas Oh I say, the hair of a big hairy dog…

I hope it doesn’t bite.

Harry Did it work?

How do you feel now?

Mrs Weasley That seemed to do the trick. You’d better get going and continue your delivery round.

Father Christmas I feel wonderful and energetic.I’ll need to get back to work, sorry to have troubled you.

Now where’d I park the sleigh?Up on the roof probably.

I’ll just step into the fireplace and pop back up.

Ho , Ho , HOOOO

Narrator Father Christmas sprinkled some dust and vanished.

Harry Hey, he’s forgotten his map.

Mrs Weasley I don’t expect he really needs it.

He’s been doing this same run every year for centuries, and probably just reads the back of his hand.

Harry He’s forgotten to fill my sock.

Mrs Weasley Ah, but it never gets filled if your looking at it, don’t you know that Harry?

Narrator Harry and Mrs Weasley go back to bed.

Act Three The Emergency Owl. Nightime in Harry’s bedroom in the Weasleys House.

Narrator Later that Christmas night Hedwig, Harry’s pet Snowy Owl, flies down the chimney in Harry’s bedroom with news of Santa’s accident and a sleigh crash.

Harry Oh no, I must have used the wrong spell, and mixed it all up like meta fours.

Father Christmas must have been going too fast round the chimneys.

Mirror on the Wall

Are YOU talking to me?

I said ARE you talking to me?

Harry No, not really, but you can help though.

Can you show me where the accident was?I need to go there and help.

Mirror on the Wall

Ok, here we go then.

Narrator The two-way mirror, given to Harry by Sirius, changed its appearance.

Adverts for Shops in Diagonal Alley appears on the right hand side of the mirror as the WizardSoft picture formed. It showed a moving image of a serpent cloud seen glowing in the sky and Voldemort attacking Santa’s sleigh.The Reindeers are hurt and the presents are all burnt up.

Presents for wizards of course! Stealth brooms, Chocolate frogs, Magical Socks, Tribbles, Portable Pentacle all fell from the sky.

Bags of Reindeer moss were burning.

Narrator A flashing Owl appeared on the Mirror on the Wall and whistled Jingle Bells.

Hermione’s face appeared in the Mirror, with a concerned looking Ron behind her.

Harry Hermione, what on earth?

Hermione Oh, Harry! It’s awful, I just saw what happened myself.Ron come and look!

Ron There’s something else there, a talking journal or something.

Narrator Harry’s letter to Santa starts to talk back to Harry

Letter to Santa Harry, This is Santa, I’m going down fast.

Get help.

My map is in your room.

Arrgh, I’ve crashed.

You must repair the sleigh and deliver the rest of the presents for me before xmas eve finishes.

Xmas is in your hands.

Harry Hermione, Ron, it’s good to see you.You heard the letter, I need to get out there and rescue Santa

Narrator Harry clutches at the fake Horcux locket he carries around his neck, a reminder of Dumbledores death.

Hermione Not without our help you won’t.

We’ll be there in a twitch of a nose, and then we can all rescue Santa together.

Ron We’ll be there in a second

Narrator Herminone scattered the chestnuts roasting on the flames as she arrives in a puff of smoke in the fireplace. Ron arrived next to her a second later.

Ron OUCH

Hermione Harry, we need to get to the crashed sleigh and help Santa.

Narrator Harry, Herminone and Ron go the crash site to find Santa.

Herminone takes command of the situation.

Hermione Harry we have to work out how to repair the sleigh, find some reindeers, make new presents and deliver them all before dawn.

We’ll need some potions and to look up some good spells, so let’s go to Hogwarts.

Ron you take Santa back to Mrs Weasley to rest and recover and

then meet us at Hogwarts.

We have no time to lose.

Act Four The Mission. Hogwarts School, Spell Lab.Herminone So you see Professor McGonagall, we had to get back to Hogwarts

quickly to prepare the right potions and spells.

Professor McGonagall

I suppose you’re right my dear.

Just make sure that it is all put back in the morning.It won’t do to disappoint anyone on Christmas Day would it now?

Harry I'd worked that out for myself, funnily enough.

Narrator Professor McGonagal walks off.

Harry and chums huddle together to make their plans.

Hermione So Harry, we first need to get some new Reindeers.Harry I don’t think that there are any around here.

They’re all at the north pole.I think it’s too late to catch any.

Ron Can‘t we transform someone into a reindeer for the night, like Professor McGonagall used to make herself into a cat.

Harry That a great idea.

Who should we use?

Hermione Let’s use that little ferret Draco Malfoy, Thomas Foolery, Wormtail, Frodo Baggins and some other Slitherins as the reindeers.

I know a good spell or two that should work.

Harry That’s a cunning plan alright.

I’ll send a fake owl with a message inviting them to meet Santa at Hogwarts. I bet they won’t be able to resist and when they get here…

Ron Ka-blam Reindeeriforius..

Herminone No Ron.

I think that Melofors Verto should work best combined with a drink of Polyjuice Potion.

We would need to get some reindeer hair for the Polyjuice to work.

Harry OK, so then how do we get the reindeer and sleigh to fly.I don’t thing they’ll go anywhere at the moment.

Ron I could use the Alarte Ascendare spell.

Do you remember, it’s the one that Lockhart used on the snake to make it shoot up into the air at the Duelling Club Spell.

Lockhart tries this on the snake during the Duelling Club. It only throws it up into the air and makes it even more angry.

Hermione Yes, but didn’t it make the snake angry ?We don’t want angry Reindeers, even if they are Slitherins.

Harry Well how about Alarte Ascendio then?That should work as well.

Ron We could always tie some broomsticks to the sleigh.

Harry Perhaps we could use a flying carpet.

Hermione They’re illegal according to the wizarding law.

Ron Yes, and it was my Dad who did that too.

Hermione My suggestion is Locomotor Locomotor.

Harry OK then.

I’d better pop to the crash site and collect some Reindeer hairs.

Ron I’ll come too.

Hermione We’ll all go

Act Five At the crash siteRon Thanks for the coat, its bitter cold here now with this snow

Hermione It means we must hurry to find the injured reindeer and get some hair from them.

Harry I think I see them over there.

Ron I can see nothing.

Harry Over there by the rocks.

Hermione They’re all hiding in the overhang.

Harry We’d better watch the shadows in case Voldermorts apparition comes again.

Hermione Those aren’t rocks, they’re Santa’s presents.

Harry The air is shimmering and hot. There is a spell on the presents that’s burning them up!

Hermione It’s a black charm.We can’t break the spell in time.

Harry So we’ll have to get some new presents from somewhere.

Ron Why not get them from the North pole like Santa does?He’s bound to keep spares up there ?

Hermione I don’t know, butHarry To the North Pole then…

Act Six Santa’s Ski LodgeRon How does Santa’s house elves manage to make all the presents?

Harry And how does Santa manage to deliver them all in one night ?

Hermione Yes, tonight in fact, since it’s Christmas eve in case you’ve forgotten !

Santa’s Little Helper

We make the presents all through the year. Four thousand days each year.

Harry But that’s more days than there are?

Hermione It’s obvious Santa must use a Time Clock to slow down time.

Harry Where is your Time Turner Hermione ?

Hermione You mean my Chronotronic Retrogradometer?

I’ve got it in my handbag.

Don’t forget that it can only be used for two nights.

That might not be enough to finish the delivery rounds.

Santa’s Little Helper

Santa was almost finished.

Two nights worth of time will be plenty.

I’ll get back to duty now and let you know when the new presents are ready.

Harry Let’s whiz back and get the new reindeer.

Act Seven At Hogwarts – The Slitherin’s Common room – 2 nights agoDraco Malfoy I’m missing my turkey for this.

Where is that fat old Santa Claws?

Thomas Foolery Maybe he’s lost in the snow?

Wormtail He’s probably eaten to many pies and got stuck up a chimney.

Frodo Baggins My precious ... My precious … My precious … mince pie

Narrator Ron enters, dressed up as Santa

Ron (Dressed as Santa)

Ho Ho Ho

Wormtail Where’s my stocking then?

Why is your fake beard so grizzled?

Draco Malfoy It’s frostbitten…

Jack Frost bit it.

Ron (dressed as Santa)

Have you all been naughty or nice?

Here’s your figgy pies guys.

Narrator The Slitherins scoff down all the pies.

And suddenly froze.

Slowly they started to grow antlers and fur all over their bodies.

Their hands became hoofs.

Their new tails swished around.

Somehow their faces stayed the same, but with a new shocked and murderous expression on them.

Ron (dressed as Santa)

Lucky they can’t speak…

I dread to think what sort of spells they’d say now.

Harry Hermione said the spell would also make them forget this.

Ron I’ll just take a quick photograph for collection … Ho Ho Ho

Harry Let’s get our new reindeer hocked up to the sleigh first.

Act Eight At Hogwarts – Outside in the courtyardHermione Already now?

Harry I’ve tied the extra broomsticks to the side.

All aboard, next stop, North Pole on the Slitherin Express.

Hermione Let’s go the Rivendell first, I asked Santa’s Elves to make some special presents for me.

We can pick them up on the way to the North Pole.

Ron (Still dressed as Santa)

What’s that about Hermi?

Hermione A girl’s got to have her secrets.

Harry I’ve got the reins.

Which way to Rivendell anyway?

I thought Rivendell is impossible to find except for those who already know where it is.

Hermione I think it’s a bit north-north-west when the wind is southerly and a hawk looks like a handsaw.

Ron You’re seriously weird you are…

Harry Up, up and away… Wingardium Leviosa

Hermione That only works for brooms

Ron How about… Locomotorus Sleigh

Narrator The Reindeers and Sleigh rose straight up into the air just like a fast lift

Harry Advanco Momentum

Narrator The fake Reindeers suddenly jumped forwards and started to fly much faster.

Ron What’s that white cloud following us?

Hermione It just old Hedge Wig

Harry I sent my message Owl to the North Pole to let them know we’re on the way, but this sleigh is too fast for Hegwig to keep up.

Hermione There’s Rivendell just below.

See if you can land on the grass.

Narrator They landed safely and picked up a package from an old elf.

Soon they were back on course for the North Pole.

Hermione There’s your Owl landing over there.

That must be Santas Grotto.

Ron The fir trees are lying down sideways and it looks like a runway in the snow.

Harry Your right.

That must be where we land.Hermione Look, a secret door is opening.

Narrator The reindeers flew the sleigh into the side of a snow covered mountain and soon Santa’s little House Elves were loading up the presents.

Other House Elves gave the Slitherin Reindeer a rub down to keep them warm, and a nose bag of moss, while Harry and Ron drank some Glue Wine.

Ron Why is it called Glue Wine ?

Harry Because it keeps your skates glued to the ice when you’re skating

Act Nine Delivery RoundHermione Now, if you two don't mind, we’ve got to get a move on.

Get on the sleigh, we’ve the rounds to do.

We can’t disappoint Santa.

Ron Hick

Harry A little more Christmas Spirit Hermione ?

Hermione No thanks !

If you don’t watch out I’ll turn you into reindeers as well.

You already have the red noses …

Harry Wingardium Sleigh.

err

Leviosa Locomotorus

err

Ron Hick

Hermione Locomotorus Sleigh

Advanco Momentum

Harry Here’s Santa’s route map

Head South

Ron Careful on those bends Harry, I don’t feel so good…

Hermione Serves you right.

Eating all those Egg Nog Pies.

Ron I thought they were Custard Pies.

They are my favourites.

Harry Not to mention the Brandy Butter.

Hermione Look where you are driving Harry, you almost hit that Hippogriff.

Harry There’s no need for that, it’s only Witherwings.

We must be flying over the Forbidden Forest.

Ron (singing) God rest ye merry Hippogryphs,

Let nothing you dismay,

For on the feast of Hog..Warts,

The puddings lasts all day

The elves have worked all through the night

To pile the plates up high..

Oh …

Harry Hang on, we’re landing.

This is our first chimney stop.

I’ll hold the sleigh.

Ron, since you’re in the Santa suit, you can deliver the presents down the chimney.

Hermione He’s had too many mince pies to fit.

I’ll go.

Ron You can’t do that. You’ve got to look like Santa.

What if someone sees you?

Harry Yes, Ron’s right, It’ll confuse everyone if Santa is seen as a girl.

Hermione, you hold the reins and I’ll go.

Ron, give me the Santa suit.

Narrator Harry puts on the Santa suit and starts to deliver the Christmas presents down the chimneys

Ron According to Santa’s map and delivery notes we have to deliver presents to the Death Eaters as well as you know who.

Harry (dressed as Santa)

That can’t be right surely, they’re evil and inhuman.

Surely Santa wouldn’t give them anything!

Hermione Everyone gets a present from Santa, Harry, didn’t you know that?

Ron Probably just a bag of salt then

Harry I worry that Voldemort and his Death Eaters would kill everyone we all care about, and get rid of Christmas.

Hermione You can’t stop what may happen Harry, none of us can.

All we can do is unite against the dark side as best as we can.

But it’s our duty to deliver presents to the Death Eaters and Voldermort just as Santa does each year.

Ron I have a bad feeling about this.

I might turn my wand into a light sabre, I think we’ll need it.

Act Ten At the Death Eaters LairHermione According to Santa’s map, Tom Riddle’s parents lived in that old

and crumbly castle with the large chunks of stone rolling away down the mountain.

That’s probably where Voldermort lives now.

Ron I don’t see any chimneys.

Are you sure we should be here Hermione?

Hermione Yes, Santa always does it, so we should also.

Hermione Here, Harry, this package is the present for Voldermort.

Harry Is that the one you got from Rivendell Hermione?

Hermione Yes, it’s a portable Mirror of Erised but with extra uumph.

Ron Ah… the one that shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts.

Hermione Make sure that you don’t look in it yourself, Harry

Ron Harry, you’d better use this Put-Outer, to make it dark down there.

You don’t want old Mouldy-Mort to see you.

Harry Thanks, Ron.

Hermione And use your invisibility cloak

Ron May the Force be with you, Harry

Narrator Harry climbs down Voldermort’s chimney, only to find Lord Voldermort sitting in a large chair waiting for him.

Voldemort Mr Potter I presume.

Fancy seeing you come down that chimney?

Have you forgotten how to Apparate?

Harry (in Santa suit)

Tom Riddle, you've caused me enough trouble in my life, but this time I’m not here to fight you but to deliver your Christmas present.

Voldermort Oh, a present, what is it now, A Horcrux?

Harry No such luck.

Here it is.

Why don’t you open your present?

Voldemort Harry, I know what you are getting for Christmas.

I have felt your presence.

Harry Ho, Ho, Ho, very funny.

Voldermort Why not come and join me Harry?

Give yourself to the Dark Side.

It is the only way you can save your friends.

Yes, your thoughts betray you.

Your feelings for them are strong.

Harry Why don’t you open your Christmas present.

Voldermort Why it’s just a mirror.

Do you think that I’m vain then?

Well you’re right, I am.

Let me see what I look like, because I’m worth it.

Harry Maybe you’ll see your true self.

Voldermort Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most horrible one of all?

Mirror Thou, O Lord, art the horriblest of all

Voldermort I bet you say that to all the boys!

Mirror, mirror upon the wall, who is the most scary one of all?

Mirror Thou, O Lord, are the scariest of all

Voldermort Mirror, mirror upon the wall, who is the best wizard of all?

Mirror Thou, O Lord, are the best wizard of all

Voldermort I bet you say that to all the boys!

Harry Well, if you don’t want the mirror, then I can always take it back.

Voldermort How touching ...I always like gifts

Narrator Voldermort cannot look away from the mirror and remains staring at his own reflection.

Harry Tom Riddle, I know there is good in you.

The mirror is special and it won’t let you stop looking at yourself until you see some good in yourself.

Voldemort My precious Mirror …. It’s mine … my precious….my precious…

Harry Bye Tom Riddle… Merry Christmas

Act Eleven Christmas MorningRon That’s the last of the presents delivered, let’s get back home.

There’s a mince pie with my name on it just waiting to be eaten.

Hermione I’ll just push this button on my Chronotronic Time Turner Retrogradometer to get back to Christmas Eve.

Harry There now, right back in the courtyard at Hogwarts.

I could get very used to this way of travelling.

Ron Too right Harry, it’s even better than my old car.

Hermione It’s not fair to keep the Slitherin’s as reindeers.

We must put them back to normal.

Ron Must we ?

Harry Sadly, I agree with Hermione, they need to get back to open their presents as well.

Hermione Deletrius Spellus

Narrator This spell makes all the reindeers turn back into Slitherins as if nothing had ever happened to them.

They would forget everything.

Everything except their aching muscles…

.. and a strange desire to eat moss.

Harry, Hermione and Ron stay out of sight as the Slitherins slowly come back to normal and look around in confusion.

Harry We’ve forgotten to deliver presents for ourselves

Hermione It is better to give than receive you know.

Ron But who filled our stockings then

Santa’s little Helper

Ah Hah!

It was I, Santa’s house elf.

Santa told me from his sick bed, that I must fill your stockings, so I did.

He also said to give you the best Christmas tree ever.

Narrator Harry, Hermione and Ron fond themselves suddenly back at the Weasley’s Burrow, standing in front of a huge 12 foot tree in middle of the living room.

The rest of the Weasleys welcomed them back.

Ron Where’s the egg nog?

Final Act Around the Fire on Christmas dayRon Happy Christmas, mate!

Wake up Harry!

Harry Ok! I'm up. Calm down , Ron

Ron But it's Christmas!

And there's a bunch of presents downstairs calling our names.

Harry Ok, let's goHermione Oh! I was just coming to wake you lot.

Morning sleepy heads.

Merry Christmas.

Ron I'm starving!

Maybe we should eat first before we open presents?

Hermione Oh, Ron!

You're always hungry

Harry Let’s just open presents now, shall we?

Mrs Weasley Yes, of course

Hermione This present is for you Ron

Ron It’s a knitted jumper…. That’s what I always get each year.

Harry It was knitted sock last year.

Ron I hope you like yours Hermione.

Hermione A box of Weasley Wizard Wheezes?

Oh. Ron, you really shouldn't have…

Harry Here, Ron this is from me.

Ron Wizarding Chess.

Yes, Yes.

I’ve needed one of these since the last ones pummelled themselves to bits.

Hermione I’ll give you a game Ron after lunch.

Ron Good idea... maybe you’ll let me win this time ?

This is for you Harry, Merry Christmas.

Harry …one can never have enough socks, I suppose…

Hermione Harry here is your Christmas present from me.

Harry A picture of my parents, Wow.

How did you find that ?

Hermione I got it from Sirius Black and had it cleaned and framed.

Harry That’s really great Hermione.

I was never allowed pictures of them before at the Dursleys house.

Here’s you present Hermione.

Hermione A sparkly necklace.

What stones are these Harry?

Harry It’s a Lunisolar Calender Divination Necklace from Diagonal Alley.

Each stone is a magic crystal like a miniature crystal ball, one for each moon of the year.

Hermione Oh I know, I read about these in the libar it can be used for divination every full moon.

Ron Howling, good fun

Hermione Ron !

Harry I used to be a werewolf, but I’m al right naooooooh, aoooooh, aoooooh…

Hermione Not you too Harry!

Really !

Mrs Weasley Hi everyone, here are some lovely mince pies.

Harry Ready for some holiday cheer Hermione?

Narrator Harry waved his wand at the fireplace and a big warm fire roared into existence complete with a pan of chestnuts nearby.

Hermione Show off.

I bet Hagrid taught you that trick.

Ron Where’s my Chocolate Frogs?

Narrator Hermione smiled with happiness and satisfaction as she waved her wand at the Christmas lights in the tree. The little white lights sparkled like stars on the tall evergreen.

Tiny little figures started moving around on the branches with tiny lanterns, singing and dancing on the pine needles.

Hermione That tree is a great a present from Santa. It’s the best Christmas tree ever.

Harry It makes me rather sad that my parents are not around to see this.

Mr Weasley Christmas is about love and hope, not sadness and pain. If Professor Dumbledore hadn’t insisted on giving you to those horrid muggles, we would have been happy to raise you as our son.

You are a very important loved member of this family now Harry.

Believe me all those who you have lost will take great joy in seeing you happy.

Harry (smiling) Yes, you’re right.

Mr Weasley Harry, here’s a special gift from Father Christmas to you Harry

Harry It’s a Quick Quotes Quill, just like Rita Skeeter uses!

This will make taking notes in lessons easier.

Thanks!

Ron Cor, I could do with one of those.

Will you lend it to me sometimes Harry?

Mrs Weasley Have you forgotten something Hermione?

Ron Where’s my gingerbread cookies?

Hermione Harry…. is that mistletoe I see over your head?

Harry Err…

Narrator The End… …well at least until next year.
