Day 20 for Countdown to Christmas
Prompt:
Reindeer
Disclaimer: I don't claim anything.
The Weasley table was full of laughter on Christmas Day. Which was an easy thing to do, as thirty-five people were present. The Weasleys had not only offered their home to their family, but also to their friends, which included Luna and her family, as well as Neville's in his. Charlie had also brought by his new boyfriend, shocking only his mother, and was congratulated by everyone else (besides the children, as they didn't really care).
"Do another one! Do another one!" Lily laughed at Teddy, clapping her hands in joy.
"Okay," Teddy smiled, morphing his face into what Muggles knew as an elf. Every time he was over at the Weasleys, he ended up putting on some kind of show. Most of the adults in the room were reminded of when Tonks did the same thing. "What now?" he asked, as everyone was laughing.
"Santa Claus!" Louis called down from the end of the table. Mrs. Weasley had arranged for the adults to sit on one side of the table, and the kids on the other with Teddy right in the middle because of his age.
Teddy did as he was asked, making a long white hair and beard appear as well as rosy cheeks, "Ho, ho, ho!" he cried merrily, holding his stomach.
"Try Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer," Victoire said, sitting across from him. Teddy smirked, winking at his not-so-secret girlfriend. Everyone laughed again, enjoying the sight of Teddy with antlers and a big red nose.
"This," Harry started, raising his glass of wine in the air, "Is going to be by far one of the most memorable Christmas I've ever had."
"Compared to what? Your first Christmas at Hogwarts?" Ron asked.
"Obviously not, Ron," Hermione said, rolling her eyes. Then she smirked, feeling mischievous, "He's probably referring to the one when he had his first kis-"
"Okay! I think we're done here!" Harry interrupted, avoiding his wife's stare.
"Ooh, Harry and mystery girl sittin' in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love -"
"James..."
"Then comes marriage!"
"Teddy, honestly, you guys..."
"Then comes a baby in a baby carriage!" Teddy finished, his face back to normal and his arms crossed in front of him.
"I certainly hope not, for Harry's sake," Ginny cut in, her voice sharp, but her eyes filled with mirth.
"Uhh..." Harry groaned, putting his head into his hands. "I change my mind, Ginny, I don't want kids. Is it too late to give them away?" he asked, and his answer was only another wave of laugh from everyone at the table.
"Oh, you know you love us."
For those of you wondering who all was present at the dinner: Mrs. Weasley, Mr. Weasley, Bill, Fleur, Victoire, Dominique, Louis, Charlier, Charlie's boyfriend, Percy, Audrey, Molly, Lucy, George, Angelina, Fred, Roxanne, Ron, Hermione, Rose, Hugo, Harry, Ginny, James, Albus, Lily, Andromeda, Teddy, Luna, Rolf, Lorcan, Lysander, Neville, Hannah, and finally their daughter Alice. Whew.
