[nospaces] [attr="class","oneword1"] by the stars above, I know we were in love
[attr="class","itsover"] To say that Olivia Moretti was looking forward to Christmas would be a drastic understatement. Ever since Quidditch season started, she’s been non-stop busy with work. They were always practicing, always playing, and then you had the monthly full moons and brewing Wolfsbane it was constant pressure. Liv took it all in stride, but even she had to admit she was tired. To make matters worse, she didn’t even get to see Leo. She hadn’t had time to visit Julian. She was most anxiously awaiting Christmas break and when it arrived, she never felt so relieved. Liv packed a bag and her broom to spend her break with her boyfriend. It was going to be a great two weeks, even if she had to deal with Jacob Williams. All that mattered was that she and Leo would be reunited.[break][break] Dressed classy as usual with her hair tied up in a neat bun, Liv Apparated to Godric’s Hollow. Michael and Everly were such gracious hosts, as always, inviting her in when she arrived and getting her out of the cold. Mrs. Williams fussed over her for a moment, dusting snowflakes off her shoulders before pulling her in for a hug. Liv returned it as Mr. Williams took her things and carried them upstairs. “You look beautiful. Tova should be arriving at any minute. We’ll play games before dinner. Oh, it'll be such fun!” Everly kissed Olivia’s cheek and moved to where Cassidy and Ellie were hanging ornaments on the Christmas tree. Liv’s gaze followed her as she went, smiling to herself as she watched them. She saw movement out of the corner of her eyes and turned to see Leo standing there. It was like time itself stopped. Her breath caught in her chest when she realized this was the first time she’s seen him in over a month. Her eyes watered and she broke the spell, moving forward to throw her arms around his neck. “ Merlin, I missed you,” she said into his shoulder, her face buried there. ulla [newclass=.itsover b]color:#683cd8[/newclass] [newclass=.oneword1]transition:1s;overflow:hidden;height:200px;width:450px;[/newclass] [newclass=.oneword1:hover .fromyou1]transition:1s;margin-top:0px;[/newclass] [newclass=.fromyou1]background-color:#2f2f2f;opacity:.8;font-family:arial;font-size:10px;color:#fff;padding:10px;margin-top:250px;width:150px;transition:1s;[/newclass] [newclass=.fromyou1 a]font-family:courier new;text-transform:uppercase;color:#a366b6;letter-spacing:1px;[/newclass]

Since graduation, Leo had gotten to see less and less of Olivia. And while he hated it, he didn't blame her. She was out there chasing her dreams and doing a damn good job of it. He was proud of her. But it was finally Christmas break. And Leo was home. Things had felt tense for him in this house ever since his first year of Hogwarts. But he was glad that at the very least...his family seemed to accept Olivia. Even if it felt like they never had been able to accept him.
So as his mother ushered Olivia into their home, Leo watched with a small smile as the woman doted on his girlfriend a bit. And as she finally moved to help the younger siblings, Leo stood from his seat on the couch...smiling as Liv finally reached for him, practically falling into his arms. He chuckled a bit as he held her, his hand gently running up and down her back.
"I've missed you too," he offered softly. He loved her to pieces and he was glad that for at least a little while, he'd get to spend time with her. After this break, it would be another five or six months until he graduated. And sure, he would write to her and he would see her occasionally see her in Hogsmeade. But he was counting down the time until they could just be together again.

[attr="class","itsover"]
All she wanted to do was sneak away to Leo’s bedroom and have some alone time. Mainly, she just wanted to curl into his arms with her head on his chest but she was definitely aching for something more, too. It's been several months now without any real alone time and she wanted him desperately. There was a time for that, though, and it certainly wasn’t right now. Liv sighed happily into his shoulder, moaning softly at the feeling of his fingers trailing along her spine. Since she couldn’t have all of him at the moment, she was just going to enjoy this embrace. His arms felt like home, his chest warm and solid and the first real touch she’s had in a while. After a few moments, she pulled back slowly to look him in the eye. Olivia leaned forward to press a few soft kisses to his lips. “I’m so glad we’re here.” For fear of making his family uncomfortable, she lowered her arms and stepped back, her hand slipping into his. “What games are we playing?”[break][break]
Liv followed him back to the couch and she snuggled up against him the moment her butt hit the cushions. Evelyn Williams was still helping Ellie and Cass to put up the rest of the ornaments. It was nice, sitting there and watching them work. Liv’s family was never this close, they never had Christmases like this. House elves decorated their manor and likely bought their gifts, too. Life with the Moretti’s was cold and unfeeling. At least it was after her accident and, really, that was the only thing that mattered to her anymore. Her parents weren’t there for her in her worst moments. Instead, they shunned her and threw money at her to make themselves feel better. The only gift that made her feel like they loved her was her broom. For Christmas, shortly after her transformation. Liv very much preferred the Williams to her own family.[break][break]
Tova and Jake arrived shortly after. Liv shifted her weight in her seat, trying to ignore the flash of rage that accompanied them. She had nothing against Tova, but she couldn’t forgive Jacob for how he treated Roxie. She knew Rox was over it, but Liv wasn’t. She forced a smile when he waved over at them and offered a half-assed wave back. Evelyn clapped her hands together when they were all gathered. “Who’s ready for some games?” She looked over at Leo and Liv. “Leo? Do you want to start?” Mrs. Williams ushered everyone to their seats, taking hers next to Mr. Williams. “Go on, pick a game.”

Leo, truthfully, didn't care too much about dinner and games with his family. He loved them, sure...but family game night had never really been his vibe. It was one of those things he just did for Ellie's sake. Ellie and Olivia were the two girls in this world that Leo would literally do anything for.
So as Olivia pulled away, Leo reluctantly let her go...his hand slipping into hers as they sat back on the sofa. As Jake and Tova walked in, Leo could practically feel Liv bristle at his side and his hand gently rubbed up and down her arm soothingly. He offered Tova a smile and waved back at his brother as they made their way in. Leo still thought his brother was a right git...but Tova was happy and Roxie had seemed to move on. So he didn't bother dwelling on the situation as a whole anymore. And it seemed since everyone was there...mum was intent to get the night going.
And as she looked to Leo to pick a game first, he stared back at her for a moment before looking to Liv and sighing softly.
"How about Wizard Skittles?"
He rather liked the game...so if he had to play one...why not make it that?

“How about Wizard Skittles?”[break][break]
A slow smile spread across her lips and she nodded eagerly. Wizard Skittles was one of her favorite games growing up and she’d often beat her father when they played together. Evelyn clapped her hands together, “Okay! Wizard Skittles it is.” Then she pulled out her wand and summoned the game from the closet. Olivia watched as the coffee table moved to the side and the pins set themselves up on the floor, the different colored skittles arranging themselves in color coordinated piles at the other end. She looked over at Leo and gave his hand a squeeze before rising from her seat to sit on the floor. There were four colors in all, so it looked like they all had to team up. Ellie and Cassidy sat with the yellow skittles, Evelyn and Michael with the blue, Jake and Tova with the red, and Liv and Leo with the green.[break][break]
“Olivia, why don’t you go first?” came Evelyn’s voice once everyone was settled. The quidditch player smiled at her before flicking her wand at one of the skittles, watching closely as it rolled across the floor and knocked down two pins before coming to a stop. There were some celebratory shouts and some groans from the others, but Liv just sat back happily and looked at Leo with a bright smile. “Good choice,” she told him, nudging him with her shoulder as Jake took his turn.

Leo's suggestion seemed to be well received as Olivia, Tova, and his mother all perked up. They all split into teams and for a moment, Leo considered suggesting that Tova and Liv team up and then he and Jake could each take one of their little sisters. But he pushed the thought aside. Ellie was getting older and didn't want to be treated like a little kid anymore. So he let them do their thing.
And once everyone was set, his mum offered for Liv to go first. And she did. As she knocked two pins down, Leo shot her a proud smile and teasingly clapped louder over his little sisters' groans, shooting them a playful wink before laughing and watching as Jake took his turn.
Honestly...Leo kind of just wanted to get this whole family dinner and game night thing over with. He wondered if he'd be able to just claim to be too tired and call it an early night at some point. But glancing to his mum, she just looked too happy.
Fine...he could indulge her for a night. After years of being a little shit to the majority of the family...that was the least he could do for his mother. So as the turn rolled back to him, he twirled his wand between his fingers before flicking it and watching as his projectile skittle knocked over another two pins for them. Smirking, he shot Liv a wink. There had been a reason he had picked this game. He was just...good at it.

[attr="class","itsover"]
The competitive side of Liv knew that if she and Leo kept playing like they were, they would win. And she wanted to win. But when she looked over at Ellie and Cassidy, seeing their forlorn faces as she knocked over even more pins, she felt her heart lurch in her chest. Olivia looked at Leo, gesturing over to his little sisters with her head, and when it was her turn again she flicked her wand and purposefully missed. Liv groaned goodnaturedly, trying to resist a smile as the younger girls cheered. The game went on and she did her best to make sure the girls won. Not that they needed her help, but she wouldn’t forgive herself if she beat them on their first game for Christmas.[break][break]
A bright smile pulled at her lips as Ellie and Cassidy jumped up and down in their excitement, having won the game. Her hand slid into Leo’s and she gave him a squeeze. The rest of the games went on well, Liv didn’t let the girls win every game of course, but winning the first seemed to help their confidence. They had just finished up a game of Exploding Snap when Evelyn stood. Dinner was ready and they were all corralled into the kitchen. Olivia took her seat beside Leo, Tova and Jake sitting beside them. The food was delicious and his mom seemed to be focused on Tova especially tonight, asking her question after question. Liv just ate in silence, unsure if she was glad or not that the attention wasn’t on her. When their plates were empty, Jacob asked Tova to go on a walk and Liv smiled at Evelyn and Michael. “Thank you guys for dinner, it was so good,” she said, squeezing Leo’s hand under the table. “I can help clean up if you like.”[break][break]
When the dishes were done and the table cleared, Liv wrapped her arms around Leo and whispered in his ear, “I have a surprise for you.” A smirk touched her lips as she pulled back and she winked at him before leading him upstairs. Her heart was fluttering in her chest, anticipation thrumming under her skin. They entered his room, shutting the door behind them. Once they were alone, Liv pulled him in for a deep kiss, her arms wrapping around his neck.

Leo, usually so observant about his baby sisters, hadn't initially noticed the way Ellie and Cassidy sulked a bit as he and his girlfriend opened up a bit of a lead. He was trying to treat Ellie like more of a "big kid" now so he had pulled his attention away...but when Liv pulled his attention back to the two girls, Leo's brow furrowed slightly. His competitive nature was always overruled by Ellie...
So as Live began to throw the game...so did Leo. And while the adults around may have noticed, the girls did not and the celebrated their victory happily. Leo just grinned and clapped for them. The night went on with a few more games...then dinner, where Leo's mum took a keen interest in Tova. Leo nudged Liv discreetly and nodded toward the other couple before slipping into her head to tell her what was going on. And once Tova and Jake left for a walk, that seemed to be about the end of things. Leo joined Liv in helping his mother clean up and once all was said and done...she was dragging him to his room, a smirk pulling on his lips as she mentioned a surprise.
The door closed behind them and Leo effortlessly flipped the lock before pulling his girlfriend close for a rather deep kiss. And when they finally pulled back, he winked at her.
"I rather like surprises like this."

Feeling Leo in her mind was strange, but kind of comforting? At the same time. It was foreign, but it felt like him. A small smirk had touched her lips as he filled her in, her gaze flicking over to the unsuspecting Tova. She had wondered, idly, if she was gonna say yes.[break][break]
Liv has waited a very, very long time to kiss Leo like this. The warmth of a summer day filled her as their lips moved together, a lightness bubbling up in her chest. Being with him felt exhilarating, even after the past couple of years. She still felt like that girl who kissed him in the bleachers at school. They pulled back after a few moments, Leo shooting her a wink. Her lips pulled into a bright smile.[break][break]
“I rather like surprises likes this.”[break][break]
Olivia hummed seductively, leaning in until their lips were just a breath away from each other. “Noted,” she grinned. “I’ll make sure to give you plenty over the next two weeks.” She closed the gap and kissed him again, this time leaning back a lot sooner. “But, that’s not the surprise.” Liv stepped out of his embrace, her hand finding his so she could pull him to the bed. They sat down on the edge and she bent over to reach into one of her bags. When she came back up, she held a rather large leather bound book. Her eyes glinted as she watched his reaction, handing him the book. If he opened it, he’d find an almost full photo album with pictures of them and their friends over the last two years. “So, what do you think?” she asked him excitedly. It had taken a lot of time to put it together, with Quidditch occupying her every moment, but she was very happy with the result. The last third of the pages were empty. Liv pointed to them. “For our future,” she told him softly, her heart warming at the idea.

Noted.
Leo smirked and his hands gripped her waist a little firmer at the way she breathed against him. She had an affinity for teasing him...but it was something he found rather adorable, so he let her get away with it. Especially when she assured him she would give him plenty in the next few weeks. He held her close as she kissed him again, hungry for more. But as she pulled away again, he groaned softly.
But that's not the surprise.
Leo looked at her with a raised brow as she pulled him to the bed. As they sat, he placed a hand to her back, rubbing softly as she bent to pick up something out of a bag. And as she handed it over, he let his icy eyes fall to observe a large leather book. He raised a brow, looking at her with a grin as he opened it.
It was a photo album and he had to laugh softly as he flipped through everything. All sorts of photos. Them, their friends, their quidditch team from last year. All of it. And as he got to the end of the album he looked at her as she pointed, indicating that those were pages for their future. It was such a sweet gesture and he smiled as he closed the book, setting it aside.
Taking her face in his hands, Leo pressed a soft kiss to her lips before sighing happily.
"I love you," he whispered. He kissed her a few more times before sighing and sitting back to look at her with a grin.
"Do you want your gift now? Or would you prefer to wait till everyone else gets theirs?"
He teased her with a smile and a wink.

[attr="class","itsover"]
Her heart felt so full watching him flip through the album, his smile lighting up the room. After the couple of years that they’ve had, Olivia wanted to do something special for him. So she collected all the happy memories she could find and put them in this book. She could afford big, extravagant gifts (that’s not the only thing he got for Christmas), but this was a little piece of them and their friends. Something to carry with him throughout his whole life, which she definitely hoped to be a part of. Maybe one day when they’re old and wrinkly, they can look back through this and remember what it was like to be young and in love.[break][break]
A musical laugh flowed out of her as he kissed her, her lips spread into a huge grin. “I love you,” she said between kisses, warmth flooding her body. How she missed this… It had been a long few months, but they were together now and nothing was going to tear them apart. Her eyes lit up with excitement as he mentioned her gift. “You know I love gifts,” she told him with a smirk. But instead of letting him get up to get it, she pushed him on the bed and straddled him. “But not yet.” Liv wasted no time in leaning in to kiss him passionately.
