by Darren Kelly
Chapter 12
Sasporilla and Karry walk up late Christmas morning. By the time they came down stairs everyone was sitting there waiting for them.
"Good morning sleepy heads!" Mr.Curtiss smiled kissing his youngest daughter on the top of the head. "Happy Christmas honey."
"Happy Christmas dad." Karry smiled. "Happy Christmas mom."
"Yes dear happy Christmas." Mrs.Curtiss said. "Happy Christmas Sasporilla."
"Thank you." Sasporilla smiled. "Happy Christmas Mrs.Curtiss, Mr.Curtiss, Karry, Korry, Kay."
"Ya, ya, ya." Kay said. "Happy Christmas everyone let's get into the prezies!!!!"
New Clothes, hats, mittens and coats seemed to be the most common gifts. New make up kits for the girls. Socks and ties for the boys. Mrs.Curtiss got a new dress that she'd had her eye on for months and new necklace with matching earrings. She was ecstatic.
Karry got a big surprise box that she unwrapped next to the tree. Zac climbed out of it and handed her a small box. Karry reached into the tree branches and pulled out a small box for him too.
Zac and Karry opened them. Zac slipped Karrys promise ring on her finger and Karry slipped Zac's onto his finger.
"Happy Christmas my love." Zac smiled.
"Happy Christmas darling." Karry said.
They sealed the symbolism of their commitment with a deep passionate kiss.
"Oh get a room." Kay laughed.
"No!" Mrs.Curtiss objected. "Do not get a room! Stay exactly where I can keep my eyes on the pair of you!"
Korry got his dad 4 tickets to an DWG event in Bristol. Mr.Curtiss was gleeful at the sight of them. The show was in a few days so he would have to make plans to go.
Sasporilla gave Korry a gift that he never expected. The new Chocolate frogs were out with wizard cards celebrating the heroes of the battle of Hogwarts and the second Wizarding war. She got him a case of unopened chocolate frogs, cards inside but she also got him the official display book for the cards. Inside, on the front page was a card depicting him and another depicting Sasporilla.
"Oh my god!" Korry yelled. "I can't believe you got your hands on these early! They don't come out for weeks? How did you get them???"
"Mr.Honeyduke made a special order for me." Sassy smiled happy Korry liked her gift. "A distributor friend of his owed him a favor."
"Well I love it thank you." Korry said.
A knock came at the window. The Curtiss' looked over to see an owl at the window carrying a package. Korry went over and opened the window. The owl dropped the package into his hands and flew off.
"Who's it for son?" Mr.Curtiss asked.
"It's for me." Korry said. "It's from Maddy."
Korry pulled off the shiny foil gift wrap. Inside was a picture of Madrigal Neelander in a very nice frame.
"Wow!" Korry said showing everyone the picture. "Isn't this thoughtful. Just beautiful."
"Absolutely lovely." Mr.Curtiss smiled awkwardly.
"Yes dear very nice." Mrs.Curtiss said trying to avoid a scene. "Wait, what is that she's wearing?"
"That's the locket your son took back from his real girl friend to give to his floozy." Karry said.
"Oh Korry you didn't?" Mrs.Curtiss asked disappointed.
"Yes but that was when I was still bewitched." Korry defended himself.
"Then why haven't you asked for it back?" Karry insisted still very angry with her brother.
"Please stop." Sasporilla said. "I don't want people fighting because of me."
Sasporilla stood up and walked up stairs. She packed away the few of her things that were out and leashed up Buster.
"Sasporilla." Mr.Curtiss said from behind her. "I'm sorry for all this drama."
"I'm sorry for causing it sir." Sasporilla said.
"Look." Mr.Curtiss smiled compassionately. "Mrs.Curtiss and I think of you like one of our daughters."
"Thank you sir." Sasporilla said politely.
"We don't want you to go but if you want to go home I then I understand."
"Thanks." Sassy smiled sadly.
"But you're too young to stay alone. I'm sending Karry and Kay with you until I can contact someone to stay with you. Ok?" Mr.Curtiss asked.
"Ok." Sasporilla agreed.
As Alex Curtiss got up to leave, Sasporilla plucked up the courage to speak frankly. "Mr.Curtiss. Korry is your son. Whether he decides he loves me or Maddy, I want you to support his choice. Please."
"Strong girl." Alex Curtiss admired the young Pink haired witch. "I have to support his choices. I don't have to agree with them."
Once into the hall Mr.Curtiss had to yell, louder than the yelling coming from downstairs, so they could be heard. "Karry, Kay! Pack an over night bag! You're staying with Sassy at her house tonight!"
It took a few moments to get their things put away. Karry and Sassy would be sharing a bed, Kay would be sleeping in the master bedroom. Zac sat down in the living room giving the girls a chance to get settled. There were a few gifts under the small Christmas tree in Sassys house. Kay brought the rest of Sassy and Busters gifts back to put under the tree with the other few.
There was a big box from Uncle Nick. Inside was a long purple hooded cloak with wide pink Celtic knot work trim. Sasporilla tried it on. It felt a bit small at first and the adjusted to fit her perfectly.
"That's a O'Brien life cloak!" Kay said. "It will adjust to your size and last for as long as you live. They're really expensive."
"I absolutely love it!" Sasporilla said spinning around in it. Buster chewed on his new ball.
"Who's the big one from?" Karry asked.
Sasporilla walked around the tree and pulled the wrapping off a well worn old brown leather trunk. The tag read 'To Miss Bucket from Mr.Olivander. please open outside!'
Sassy levitated the trunk into the back yard. Buster was happy to get outside for pee. Sassy popped the latch open and the trunk lid flew back. A small market stall appeared around the trunk. It had a counter, a series of racks and shelves a desk for.... wand repairs.
"This must be Mr.Olivanders original wand stall. He said he sold in small markets before he got the shop!" Sasporilla smiled as she looked under a the counter fining a sign meant to be hung up.
"What does it say?" Karry asked.
"Bucket Wands!" Sassy smiled.
When the trunk lid was closed the stall disappeared back inside. Sassy took the trunk back inside and placed it back under the tree. The last gift was from Korry. Sasporilla picked up the small box and looked at it. She placed it back under the tree.
"Aren't you going to open it?" Zac asked.
"No." Sasporilla said. "Not right now."
"I think you should." Kay said. "He obviously got it for you and I know your head over heels for the brat, even if he is acting stupid!"
"Maybe later." Sassy said.
"Ya why rush." Karry said. "He'll just demand it back after dinner."
Sasporilla started to cry.
Sassy, Karry and Kay were escorted by Zac and Buster back to the Curtiss house for Christmas diner. The family table was full of food but the usually lively table was quiet, despite Mr. and Mrs.Curtiss trying to boost the conversation.
Zac and Karry sat on one side of table. Korry and Sasporilla sat on the other. Mr. And Mrs.Curtiss sat on one end of the table while Kay sat on the other. An empty seat, Kandys seat, sat off to the side of the table against the wall.
Korry reached over and tried to take Sasporillas hand. Sassy pulled her hand away. "What are you doing?"
"I just wanted to hold your hand." Korry sighed.
"Did you?" Sassy said. "Just like before. Sit and hold hands. Go for a nice walk. Maybe even a quick snog when no ones looking? Oh wait no that's what you want with Maddy."
"Get him Sassy." Karry encouraged her friend.
"Karoline Kamile Curtiss!" Kollen snapped. "You aren't helping."
"Did you at least open the gift I got you?" Korry asked.
Sasporilla pulled the small box out of her jumper pocket and placed it on the table, still wrapped, bow still on it.
"Not yet." Sasporilla said. "I need to know you really want me to open it and you really want me to keep it?"
"I really do." Korry said. "I'm sorry I've made you feel this way about me."
"I only feel one way about you doink." Sassy said. "I love you. It's just hard because you don't feel the same way about me."
"Open it." Korry insisted.
Sasporilla pulled off the ribbon and bow. Inside the box was her locket. Cleaned and sparkling like new.
"I never gave your locket to Maddy." Korry smiled. "The one she's wearing is a different one. I want you to have this one!"
"Thank you." Sasporilla said.
"There is something else as well." Korry smiled. "It wouldn't do to give you the same gift twice."
Sasporilla pulled the locket out and put it on. She opened it and was happy to see the pictures were still inside.
She lifted up the little pad the locket had sat upon. Underneath was a pair of silver earings with rose quartz inset. Sassy smiled.
"I love them thank you." Sasporilla said and kissed Korry on the cheek.
Sasporilla shut the box and went back to her Christmas dinner. Korry sat there looking at her perplexed.
"Why don't you put them on?" Korry asked.
"Because her ears aren't pierced." Karry said. "Maddys are."
Green flame shot from the fire place as Lyra appeared.
"I came as soon as I could." Lyra said. "I'm your new baby sitter for the Christmas break miss Bucket! Prepare to party!
