A girl sat on the counter, wearing a nice red long-sleeve top and blue jeans with red flats on her feet. A black coat was on her lap. Her hair was up in a curly ponytail, a few stubborn pieces of hair hung in her face. She was talking to the owner of the shop.
"But Uncle Fred, you have to help me pick something out for her! Who knows Nats better than you and Uncle George?" Addy Weasley said hopping off the counter as Fred walked away sighing.
"Yes, we are close, but she tells you what she wants for Christmas!" she said following, looking outside to see it begin to snow. She smiled. She liked winter.

Jake walked into the shop. Seeing Addy and Fred, he asked, "OK, what do I get Natalie for Christmas?", assuming one of them would have some idea. "Cause I'm drawing a complete blank here..." he added, looking from one to the other.

"See! Hey Jake. No one knows what to get her!" she said to Fred. ((that rhymes. tehee)) Then she looked at Jake and sighed. "You were my next bet to see what she wanted." Addy said to Jake. "Have you asked her what she wanted?" she asked Jake.

"Yeah, cause I would definitely think you know what she wants more than she does, I just decided me come ask you for kicks," Jake rolled his eyes. "How do you go up to someone and ask what they want without letting them know exactly what you're going to get them?" he raised his eyebrows.

"Oh." Addy laughed. "Good Point." she said. "But I asked and she said to suprise her." she added. "What if I get her something she doesn't like. You know how Nats can get." Addy said laughing again.

"Don't worry, she won't kill you. The extent of the damage is mostly Bludgers, hexes, an occasional curse, and sometimes..." Jake stopped. "Actually, you're pretty much S-O-L if you get her a bad present..." he trailed off and gave Addy a fake smile. "No pressure," he added, grinning even wider.

Addy smiled weakly. "Well, what do you suppose we do?" she asked Jake. She then turned to look at her uncle who had tried to escape her question by restocking the shelves he had just stocked earlier that morning.
"What?" Fred said looking up. "Were you talking to me?" he asked. Addy nodded. "Well...you should just ask her!" he said before disapperating.
Addy turned to Jake.

"'We'?" Jake asked, smirking. "I have some things I could give her if I have to...but...it's Christmas, I want something with shizzang!" Jake said dramatically, raising his arms to emphasize, and then put them back down. "So...anyway..." he trailed off, thinking.

Addy tried to keep her laugh to her self. "Shizzang?" she asked smiling. Addy started to think about what her cousin liked. "Should it be something Muggle-ish or Magical?!" she asked.

"Something Muggle-ish...that happens to have some magical properties...like, how about one of those Peapods or whatever they're called...Those things that hold music...P-pods?" he asked, unable to remember that it was I-Pod.

"An I-pod." Addy corrected Jake. "But those are a bit complected. Nats isn't that dense though." she said to herself. "It could work, but thats one thing and two of us." she said. "What else is in that brain of yours?" she asked with a laugh, ruffling his hair with her hand.

"I thought of mine," Jake smirked, sticking his tongue out at Addy. "But I guess there's plenty of Jake's intellectual smartitude to go around..." he trailed off, a hand over his heart as if he were the most selfless person on the planet.

Addy socked Jake in the arm. "Don't get too full of yourself." she said. "Okay. Ill get her an I-Pod. Any idea how much they coast?!" she asked.

"No you won't, that's my gift!" Jake protested, rubbing his harm just so that she could think that it actually hurt. "I'll think of something else for you...I'm that generous and smart and awesome," she said, flashing her another smile.

Addy sighed. "Oh." she said. She thought for a moment. "What about a rubber duck?!" she asked Jake with a laugh. "Or a cute teddy bear." she added.

"Or a rubber bear!" Jake suggested, smirking widely. "Yeah, and you could cast a bunch of charms on it, so it changed from a bear to a duck to a cat to everything...on second thought, you can give her the P-Pod," he laughed.

Addy laughed. "Seriously." she said thinking of something to get her. "You live with her. What does she need?!" she asked Jake.

Jake suddenly stopped smiling. "No Bludgers," he said seriously, fear now present in his eyes. "OK...um...let's see...She needs...well, she's a teacher, right? What do teachers need?" he asked, trying not to smirk.

Addy laughed at the thought of giving Nats another bludger. "I gave her that red and gold one last year." she said. "Something new...and exciting!" she added.
Addy thought for a second, while playing with a box on the nearest shelf. It started to growl so she placed it back. "Teachers need--" she started with a smile. "Something to make kids behave." she added with a laugh as she thought about Nats using silent spells to make the muggles she taught behave. "How did Nats become a teacher anyhow?" she asked Jake.

//lol, ish getting Abby and Addy confused...too many Weasleys!//
"I have no idea," Jake rolled his eyes. "She should have been a Quidditch player, it would have been a much better career. Trust me, I know," he laughed. "But I guess it's what she wanted to be, so that's her decision...I give her six months tops," he said.
"Anyway...teachers need...something to entertain kids with..."

"Kids like clowns right?" Addy said nodding. "Hell. I hated clowns." she said a moment later, sighing in slight frustration. "Wouldn't that have been funny. GIving her a bloody clown." she added, sarcastically. "Kids like play-dough. But I'm trying to find HER something, not her students." Addy said. "And I give it 2 months." she added, with a laugh.

"OK...Natalie...likes anything Quidditch...besides Bludgers..." Jake stressed, sending Addy a warning glare. "She likes...music...some movies...things like that...but those aren't really that special..." he continued, starting to get a little impatient. "How do I not know what she likes?" he asked himself aloud.

"I ask myself the same question." Addy said, picking up a coat, which had ended up on the ground. "I know." she said brushing off the dust and smiling. "I will get her a gift card to Quality Quidditch Supply. If she buys another bludger, it's not my fault." Addy added, with a smile. "Then she can get what ever she needs for her favorite pasttime without me being responsible for whatever injuries may come to you." she said, laughing at the end.

Jake stuck his tongue out at Hannah. "OK, but you know what will happen at family reunions if Natalie somehow gets the idea to play Quidditch..." he smirked. "I'll stand by and laugh when she sends a dozen Bludgers at everyone on the other team..." he added. "Oh, and you might want to check some of the explosives in this shop before you close...especially by eight," he said with a laugh.
