Christmas in the Weasley household was always a hectic affair. With seventeen Weasley's how could it not? Especially on Christmas Eve, with last minute present buying, Molly hurriedly preparing Christmas dinner and Ron trying to eat it all as in came out of the oven.

It was after supper and everyone was fit to burst. They were all lounging in the living room with glasses of butterbeer, except for Hermione and the children. "Alrighty James, Teddy, time to go up to bed or Santa won't come!" Harry said to his sons. "Alwight Daddy!" Harry picked up James and grabbed Teddy's hand as he and Ginny led them to their room. "We should probably go to bed. See you all in the morning!" Ron said as he led Hermione to the stairs. On their way up Hermione ran into the bathroom and started puking. Ron quickly followed her and held her head back while she hurled.

When she had finished vomiting and had brushed her teeth he gathered her up in his arms and twirled her around causing her to giggle. And carried her up the rest of the way up the stairs. He lay her down on the bed and crawled in next to her putting her arm around her small figure. "Feel better love" he whispered as they both fell asleep.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up!" Ron cried shaking Hermione awake. "Uh. Ron what time is it?" She asked looking over at the clock on the bedside table. "It's to early!" She complained. "But it's Christmas 'Mione!" He cried bounding out of the room. Hermione giggled and bounded after him.

Before they could begin the present opening however everyone had to get bundled up in their winter gear to go outside. The large family made their way outside near a small pond at the edge of the large property. There under a large willow lay Fred's grave. They stood around him placing flowers on the headstone crying silently.

After a short time everyone made their way inside. "PRESENTS!" Ron cried. "Come on, come on, come on!" Everyone followed him into the living room laughing, Fred off their minds for the moment. They started the present opening. Arthur getting a rubber duck, Molly getting a giant magical family picture of everyone from Bill and Fluer's wedding, Bill and Fluer getting tickets to France, Charlie getting new flame resistant gloves, Harry getting a magical portrait of his parents from Ron and Hermione, Hermione getting new books, Ginny getting a new broom, Percy getting a book on cauldron bottoms, Ron getting tickets to the next Chudley Cannons game and George getting a magical portrait of Fred. The present giving going on and on until there was only one present left under the tree.

"And this ones for…. Ron from Hermione." Ginny said passing is over to Ron. "Ooh what is it, what is it" Ron said excitedly ripping the wrapping paper off. He slowly raised it up, eyes widening to the size of saucers. "Bloody hell!" He exclaimed enveloping Hermione in a huge bear hug. "Were going to be parents!" Kissing her passionately. In his hands was a Chudley Cannons onsie. No one had seen him this excited since his wedding day. "Oh congratulations!" Molly exclaimed rushing over to give them a hug the rest of the family following right after.
