Neville spent every moment of the week leading up to Christmas making sure he knew what to do at what times and how to act. He would average about five owls from Hermionie and Ginny each day giving him last minute advice and new ideas.

When Neville woke up on Christmas day he wanted to stay in bed for a few more minutes but there was a tapping at the window. He looked up to see a large Tawny owl at the window with a letter on its leg.

The owl intrigued Neville because it wasn't either Hermionie or Ginny's owl, which he had grown accustomed to seeing throughout the week. He quickly hopped out of bed and opened the window. The owl hopped onto the floor and gave him a soft hoot.

Neville quickly untied the letter and felt himself gasp as he saw the all too familiar handwriting of Luna Lovegood on the outside of the letter.

Getting over the initial shock of seeing Luna's handwriting Neville ripped the letter open and scanned through the letter.

Hi Neville,

I hope that your week back was nice. I am writing this because of you coming over for Christmas tea, I hope you haven't forgotten. (How could he have Neville thought to himself). Well I am very sorry to say this but we will be unable to have Christmas at my home this year. Daddy is having a group of people from the Prophet over for dinner; he is hoping to write a column everyday in it. Well Daddy would rather not have me and Jade in the house during the meeting so I was wondering if we could have Christmas tea at your house, I was thinking around seven or so. I know this is rather last minute but Daddy really wants this column. You don't have to make your house too spectacular; I will even bring the tree and food. Owl me back and tell me if this is a problem.

Hoping to see you soon

Luna

Neville starred at the letter for a few minutes with his mouth a gap. Luna in his flat? How could this be happening? How was he supposed to make his flat look good enough for Luna and Jade to have Christmas here?

After getting over the initial shock of having Luna Lovegood in his flat he glanced at the clock, it was nearly nine; he only had ten hours to make his flat look good. Neville took a look around his flat and felt himself deflate, he only had three pieces of furniture how was he supposed to make his flat look good with only three pieces of furniture.

Neville quickly wrote three letters; one to Luna saying it was ok for her to come over for tea, and two distress calls to Hermionie and Ginny. As Neville watched his and Luna's owls flying with letters he felt like this was getting way too complicated.

Over the next few hours Neville cleaned and dusted every inch of his flat. At about noon there was a knocking on the door and he felt his heart sink, she couldn't be here yet could she?

Neville walked cautiously towards the door and opened it very slowly. Instead of seeing Luna he found Ginny and Hermionie ready for action.

"We're sorry we couldn't be here earlier Neville, the boys wouldn't let us leave till now," Hermionie said as she pushed past him and stepped into his flat, "I just couldn't believe it when I got your owl this morning, everything has to be just perfect."

"Neville you weren't lying when you said there was a lot of work to do here." Ginny said as she examined the still dusty floor.

Neville, Hermionie, and Ginny spent the next few hours cleaning, dusting and refurbishing Neville's flat. Hermionie and Ginny had both brought some furniture from their houses, which they didn't use.

By the time they were finished his flat was unrecognizable. The usually blank walls were now covered with photographs of the sextet through their years. There was no more open space due to the couch, stereo, mantel, table, and chairs brought from Hermionie and Ginny's houses. There was not a speck of dust anywhere and the floor was gleaming.

"I really don't know how I can thank you two for all that you have done," Neville said as Hermionie and Ginny had to go to their own Christmas teas, "this place would still be a dump without you two."

"It was no problem at all, it was actually rather fun. Remember I have a turkey in the oven, it should be ready at about half past six." Hermionie said waving to Neville.

"The way that you can thank us is by not messing this up Neville," Ginny said prodding him, "I have been waiting for this to happen for years and you better not mess this up in one night."

Ginny was then pulled away by Hermionie who gave him one last wave before apparating. Neville chuckled to himself as he closed the door, Ginny and Hermionie must love playing matchmaker for him.

Neville turned to look at his newly renovated flat, he had to give it to Hermionie and Ginny they really did know how to decorate a home. Everything seemed perfect and it also seemed to fit Neville's personality.

Neville cheeked his watch and saw that it was nearing half past five. He had an hour to get ready for tea before he had to pull out the turkey.

Neville took a quick shower and changed into a sweater that his gran had given to him a few years before she died. He was surprised to actually feel like he was prepared for Luna's arrival, the flat had never looked better and he actually looked nice for once.

Neville had pulled out the turkey and was starting to make a pie for dessert. Right when he put the pie into the oven he heard a soft knocking at the door.

Neville quickly turned to the clock and sure enough it was seven, feeling nervous he made his way to the door to let Luan and Jade into his flat.
