Those people sure are something.

Next!

"Wait, can I see that?" he asks of the fifty pence. "I've never seen—that's money, right? Muggle money?"

Permalink

- he blinks, shakes his head slightly as though breaking out of a trance, and reaches forward to take the fifty pence and hand it to Ron. "Yes, it is."

Permalink

He looks at the next present on Victor's pile and says, "I think I know where that one's from." He turns slightly pink. "My mom. I told her you didn't expect any presents and..."

Muninn opens it.

"Oh, no," groans Ron. "She made you a Weasley sweater." And indeed, the next present is a thick, hand-knitted sweater in emerald green and a large box of homemade fudge. "Every year she makes us a sweater," he says, unwrapping his own, "and mine's always maroon."

...Victor smiles.

Permalink

He puts his on, anyway.

Permalink

So does Victor.

The next present is Dayo's. Ron gets a brand new (if not very fancy) Chess set. Victor gets a book about famous alchemical pursuits and discoveries.

Permalink

This is a good present.

Permalink

And the last one is a very light parcel, with understated paper packaging.

Permalink

Muninn opens it.

Permalink

He finds something fluid and silvery gray, laying there in glimmering folds. Ron gasps.

"I've heard of those," he says. "If that's what I think it is—they're really rare, and really valuable."

Permalink

Victor reaches for it hesitantly.

"Why would someone give it to me, then -"

Permalink

"Maybe there's a note?"

(There is in fact a note.)

Permalink

...he reads the note.

Permalink

The note is written in very elegant and neat cursive:

Your parents left this in my possession before they died. It is time it was returned to you.
Use it well.
A Very Merry Christmas to you.

Permalink

"...what... is it."

Permalink

"I think it's an invisibility cloak!"

Permalink

...he picks it up.

He puts it on.

Permalink

He yelps. "It is! Look down!"

Victor is indeed invisible.

Permalink

..........yep. That's happening.

Permalink

It indeed is.

"I'd give anything for one of these. Anything. Do you know who gave it to you?"
