"I’m so sorry!" she gasped, her arms full of packages, "I thought I could carry them all up at once - I only dropped one, but it had to be the loudest one!" Hermione and Ginny jumped up from the floor to help Tonks with the packages she had managed to hold onto, while Remus and Sirius brushed past her to deal with the still screaming portrait, "Hello everybody," she greeted as she shuffled past the crowded room towards the Christmas tree, "I’ll just put these under here - it’s nothing too exciting. Sweets and chocolate mostly, and some bits from Zonko’s. Though actually," she glanced at the packages in her arms, and the ones in Ginny and Hermione’s, "I think the Zonko box is the one that fell down the stairs. That does explain all the noise - there were a few screaming yo-yo’s in there. The fall must have set them off," by the time the gifts had all been shoved under the tree (which was already bulging with presents), Remus and Sirius had reappeared, and Mrs Black had fallen silent once more.
