That Day Has Come

I do not own Harry Potter


Hermione yawned and sat up in bed. Ron was sleeping quietly besides her. She looked at the time. 8:06. She crept out of bed, making sure not to wake Ron. She stepped over the creaking floorboards and started for the bathroom. She squeezed the tube of 'Rise and Shine' toothpaste, and stuffed her toothbrush into her mouth. Spit. Brush. Spit. Brush. She did floss, and did use Listerine. Her parents were her parents, and they were dentists, so of course she did those stuff. Even though she didn't only have 1 set of parents. She had two. Arthur and Molly Weasley were her second set. Hermione pulled open the crooked cabinet, and pulled out Ginny's hair brush, and started brushing her brown wavy hair. She showered quickly, and slipped on fresh clothes, a scarf and her sweater that Mrs. Weasley made for her last year. Of course jeans, and her favorite footwear, her black flats. She crept down the stairs very silently, to see Ginny and Mrs. Weasley already there.

"Merry Christmas Hermione dear," Mrs. Weasley said smiling and hugging Hermione softly with the hand that didn't have hot chocolate in it.

"Thanks mum, same to you…"she said smiling and walking over to Ginny who gave her a small hug.

"Merry Christmas Herms,"

"Same to you Gin."

It was normal, Harry was still in bed, and so was Ron. Of course Fred and Alicia were, and so were George and Angelina. Mr. Weasley was still working, but he would come home later. Mrs. Weasley handed her a cup of hot chocolate, and Hermione gratefully took it. Angelina came down the steps quietly in 3 minutes basically, and the ritual of hugs and hot chocolate kept moving along. Then Alicia and Fleur came down together. Fleur looked like she was floating. Her legs moved swiftly, and her silk blue strapless dress hugged her. She looked beautiful. She had a blue headband pushed through her soft blonde hair, and she didn't look cold at old. It was winter, and everyone was usually cold at winter. They didn't wear silk blue strapless dresses, they wore sweaters…not Fleur not Fleur.

"Zit is Christmas agzan!!Zi am so 'xzited," Fleur said refusing to take the hot chocolate and giving a story about stains and her dress. Everyone looked at her in disgust especially Ginny, her hate for Fleur would never be over.

"Ginevra zu look ZO beautiful!!" Fleur said gently touching Ginny's dark red hair. Ginny glared at her, and said,

"Thank you but I would rather if you not touch my ha," but Ginny was cut off by Alicia.

"Soooo…who thinks we should wake the guys, and open the presents?" Alicia was a taker…not really a giver. She gave the cheap old clothing she had, and would gush about the stuff she was given.

"No need," Hermione said, "Here they come."

Mrs. Weasley looked up and waved at the boys. "Merry Christmas!!! We were waiting for hours!" Obviously that was a sarcastic note. Everyone hugged everyone. First all the boys hugged Mrs. Weasley, and accepted their slightly cold hot chocolate, and then they walked over to their wife's, and whispered 'Merry Christmas' in their ears.

Harry kissed Ginny softly, and Ginny whispered to him quietly in his ear, which made Harry laugh. Of course. It was about Fleur.

Hermione rested her head on Ron's shoulder, and he ran his hands through her brown hair. How cute.

Bill and Fleur fed each other hot chocolate, and Fred, George, Angelina and Alicia were all talking, and cracking up…for some weird reason.

Mrs. Weasley was no longer in the living room, but in the kitchen. She already started cooking. Hermione heard the pots and pans clicking, so they left the living room, and went to the kitchen to help Mrs. Weasley out.

"Mum…anything I can do?" Hermione said.

"No Hermione dear, you go enjoy yourself, it's Christmas…your married." Hermione wanted to enjoy herself, but she saw the strands of silver gray hair in Mrs. Weasley's fading red hair.

"Are you sure?" Hermione asked. She was doing the wrong thing. Leaving Mrs. Weasley just like that. But she wanted to talk to Ron. Badly.

"Very dear, very sure…"she replied.

"Thanks mum," she said hugging Mrs. Weasley and heading back to the living room. Ron, Harry and Ginny were talking, and Hermione walked over to the 'trio'.

"Hey guys…"

"Hey Mione,"

"Hey Hermione,"

"Hey Herms,"

"Ron…can I talk to you in private for a second…outside maybe?" Hermione said this, but didn't blush…she just grinned.

"Sure Herms…" Ron replied putting his arm around her shoulder. They started walking for the door.

They were outside now. The snow was falling lightly…but it was still extremely cold. Hermione took Ron's hand off her shoulder, and held it. She held his other hand too. She really loved him. Ron smiled, and Hermione laid her head on his shoulder again. She loved doing that.

"Ron," she whispered quietly, "Do you love me?".

"Of course I do Herms…of course I do…"

Hermione kissed Ron softly, and then broke it, and kissed him again…weird this wasn't like Hermione at all. She ran her hands through Ron's red hair, and swung her hands on his shoulders. She was so happy…it was Christmas, and it was just so perfect. Ron and Hermione, Ginny and Harry…everything was so perfect…but they didn't all know…that all that would change.
