Where: Alfie's Flat
What: Christmas Together
Rating: TBD

Alfie's flat was barely big enough for him, let alone his sisters. But once Hogwarts was over for the term, they had no where else to go. Their parents home was being sold and until they money came through, Alfie was working three jobs to be able to afford his rent and the things his sisters needed. Each morning he woke up with the sun and went into the village to clean the streets and shovel the paths. After that he went to The Three Broomsticks and worked all day washing dishes, cleaning off tables and helping in the kitchen. Then when the evening came, Alfie cleaned up a few businesses until he finally collapsed at home just to do it all over again the next day. But no one worked on Christmas Eve and for that, he was grateful.
The tree in his flat was beyond tiny, but his sisters had made the best of it. And the small collection of presents under the tree weren't anything fancy, but they were hard earned and much needed. He'd gotten Ellie a new coat, new winter boots, and a bag of sweets. Maisie had also been given a new coat and boots, but she'd been given a very delicate and very fake ring. Next year, Alfie told himself, it would be better. He'd find some way to spoil his sisters the way they deserved.
Sitting on the edge of his bed in his thin flannel pants and worn shirt, Alfie yawned. He was exhausted, the weeks of working himself to the bone were catching up to him. "I'm going go to sleep," he hollered towards the living room. "Love you both."
