heart A Christmas Carol: An Adventurous Holiday Romance or Teddy & Otts save X-Mas! - Sa13+

A Christmas Carol

~ An Adventurous Holiday Romance or How Teddy & Ottery saved Christmas from sure Armageddon~


By Ottery St. Catchpole


Disclaimer: All of the HP characters belong to J.K. Rowling, all the characters I create belong to me, as does the story but not the concepts created by J.K. Rowling who pwns, no infringement is implied. It's her world, I just live in it.

Dickens of a Disclaimer: While the title of the story is taken from one of my favorite author’s stories (my least favorite of his, but then again I haven’t read Little Dorrit, yet) this story will not be some thinly veiled remake of that story which has been done ad nauseum. I will not make us suffer through the same thing. Let’s face it, the Muppets did it best, why try to top that? So, do not expect Professor Snape to suddenly be visited by the three ghosts of Christmas or the fat friar disguised as such and Nearly Headless Nick as Marley or any such thing. Just don’t. What you can expect is a series of comedic romances and lots of holiday cheer, so even if you don’t celebrate Christmas one hopes you will join in the yuletide gaiety. This is, as most of my fan fics, AU taking place in Harry’s fourth year so you know Cedric and Sirius are still alive so you can expect to see them here … and maybe even Santa Claus but only if you’ve been nice If you’re asking me why post it before Halloween it’s because this will probably end around Christmas (our time) as it’s a novel length fic. So please enjoy and have yourself a Merry Little Christmas or if you celebrate something else Happy Holidays even if it’s too soon.

It was over 30 years old that’s all anyone knew of it, the swing that sat between the two willow trees overlooking the lake. Rumor had it that the only reason it had survived so long was because ghosts guarded it. The swing had been made by a Slytherin boy for a Gryffindor girl and that had been their meeting place for romantic rendezvous. On calm summer nights, and pleasant chilly fall evenings it still rocked in the wind which carried the sound of a boy's whisper and girlish laughter.

But especially on Halloween was the swing a very scary place. For while, the boy dared love the girl, and she dared return his love, it was their friends who did not approve of any such match. And to so openly flaunt their love against all their wishes ... Well, it did not surprise anyone when they broke up. He hung from that very tree, foul play they said, and she had died under it of a broken heart.

The legend went that if you and your true love sat on the swing on Halloween night your love was true and would last through time, but if you should have a spat before the night was through or your lover would not sit with you then you were doomed not to love at all but run around miserably alone forever. As the Halloween ball approached the legend surfaced again, and the bets began to circulate as to what loving pair would dare to sit there.

"You're an idiot, Ronald Weasley, if you really believe such superstitious nonsense!" Hermione exclaimed. Of course, she was angry. Ronald had hinted that he wouldn't have minded sitting there with her then gone around to say that on any other day than Halloween and wouldn't it be awkward sitting there and wasn't the weather nice, after all, for so late in the year.

Harry for his part rolled his eyes and knew to stay the devil out of his friends romantic spats. He had the Triwizard Cup to worry about, and asking Cho out to the Halloween Ball if she would. If only he could bring himself to talk to her and not say stupid gibberishy things around her. But most times he was so busy concentrating on keeping his knees from buckling he didn't have time to think of something witty. He was starting to wonder if he shouldn't take Ron and Ottery's advice and just write something down on his hand. But his hands always got so sweaty that didn't seem like such a good plan.

The Hogwarts Halloween Ball, only the biggest event of the season! At least according to the school newspaper. Gah! but he wanted to punch Colin for taking that picture of him with Hermione and plastering it all over the paper. Now everyone thought they were something romantic.

All Harry knew was that love was complicated and that Ron and Hermione were in for another cosmic row so he ran from them in search of sanctuary in the company of Seamus and Dean who happened to be walking by.

"Hey, Harry," Seamus greeted him.

"So, who you planning to sit on the swing with, Harry?" Dean asked, punching his friend on the shoulder. "Hermione maybe? She's pretty that one and you two are always hanging about."

Harry rolled his eyes and swerved into the nearest bathroom. He wanted to throw up.

Thanks ~Otty. It means a lot to me. I'm just posting so you can come back when you get Internet back from scrooge Internet service and post another great chapter without worry of double posting. I hope you can get your service back soon. And more than anything else though, I hope you have a Very Merry and wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. And I hope you get a peek of the total eclipse of the moon tonight. It's awful cold outside I know, but I'd love to go out and take a quick look see. Maybe this eclipse is helping Dobby get free and clear of the bad guys trying to ruin Christmas! Catch you later.

The internet is back, sadly I'm going somewhere where there isn't any ... boo *hiss* so ... this story is canned until next year. *sighs* I had rather hoped to finish it. *sighs* If I'm not back Droo can you please put this in the finished fics? I'll just start fresh next year with ~The Twelve Days of Ottery's Christmas Adventure~ and then we'll see if I can't finish this story well and once and for all. If I don't see you all before Christmas ... Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and if you don't do Christmas, Happy Holidays, I hope you are all in the loving arms of your family and friends, singing, dancing, loving like I hope to be. Until next we meet sweet readers, dear friends, I'm wishing you a happy time ... I love you all, thank you for reading, but more importantly thanx for being my friend. ♥♥♥♥

Thank you Droo for the sweet words, and everyone reading for reading and posting or at least reading LOL

Sadly I still don't have internet, not on a regular it's mine basis. I don't even have a computer so I can't write updates. This will change eventually but I will likely write a cliffie before I end this and start the next chapter which I hope you all will be here for ...

I hope everyone had happy holidays, I did, I am. Today is El dia de los Reyes Magos, or the day of the 3 kings (if you're Christian you'll know) if not look it up it's a neat holiday kind of like Christmas redux. LOL

Neways, I love you all, I will be back on SS hopefully soon, but I'm not gone. Love you all, I will be back.

The end ...

Thank you ~Otty. We did and it was all to the true spirit of Christmas because there wasn't any money for gifts this year. But, still it was wonderful and I'm so happy you are having a wonderful celebration also.

El dia de los Reyes Magos
So, really it's ok that I haven't taken down the tree yet. I don't know that my husband would go along with keeping it up till the true end of the holiday, Feb. 2nd? I don't remember, but It is a wonderful story in truth. I'll have to take time to read, and revere it again as it should be.
I'll be looking forward to the time you get your computer and Internet back and you get to write another post. Catch ya later than.

Unhappy The End ... for now.
Paris & Kellybear r luv :Read Otty 's fics:Gone With the Wind:I♥Rupert

Well, *sighs* it's a new year and I've got new resolutions and all, and while I've noticed that some people still don't want to take down their Christmas stuff, (really when is the appropriate time? Jan. 6 or the 12th? The 18th? When?) well, whatever. Neways, it's a new year and I'm going to be very busy rearranging my life and I can't handle writing two fics at once, while I'm trying to woo my muse, lose weight, raise the children and save the world all at the same time ...so ... this fic has to go.

Besides, I'm sure it's jinxed. Two years now and I haven't been able to finish it ...

So I'm going to keep writing at it, eventually and continue this story in the promised:

~The Twelve Days of Ottery's Christmas Adventure~

So I hope you all will keep reading when it continues, I may just have them retitle this and reopen it ... we'll see. But keep an eye out for that and the real conclusion of this fic, Later this year consider this a cliffie. And if you write, think about writing more Christmas fics LOL they're fun.

love you all,

~Otty
