The whole family sat gathered round the table, what was left of them anyway. Outside the wind was whipping past the window and the sun had long since disappeared, but inside the fire was glowing and the room was warm.

"It's present time!" Molly announced as she cleared away the breakfast dishes with the help of Fleur. "Ours first." She added picking up her wand and sending a large stack of presents into the room to be distributed, and handed to the right person.

The Weasley's didn't need to suppress groans at the lumpy packages in front of them, this year they were grateful for their hand knitted sweaters, Molly almost didn't do them. They all unwrapped their presents smiling and Harry smiled warmly as unwrapped his jumper with a large H on the front.

Only Hermione sat still with the present lying on the table in front of her. Tears were welling in her eyes for the third time today but these weren't tears of sadness.

"What's wrong?" Ron whispered, dropping his usual maroon jumper on the table, turning his attention to Hermione. Following her gaze to the present lying unwrapped before her he understood.

"I have my own Weasley jumper." Hermione said slowly, picking up the present and gently pulling off the wrapping paper.

The whole table were watching Hermione now as her eyes misted over as she held the jumper in front of her, her face blank.

"The size might be a bit.." Molly started, worryingly watching Hermione.

"It's perfect!" Hermione exclaimed, jumping up out of her seat and hugging Molly, her jumper still in her arms.

"Now we all have to hug you, don't we?" George moaned a smile on his lips and his mother's real smile for the first time today.

Pulling their new jumpers over their heads, even Fleur, they got out of the seats and walked over to a sobbing Molly, letting her wet tears fall onto them as she smiled away their thank you's and Merry Christmas's. Smiling through the tears, as she hugged her family she was eternally grateful at her decision to knit the jumpers this year, as per tradition. Even the one sitting alone in her room.

This is my first Christmas as a ff writer so I wanted to do something special. I am attempting to write 24 different Christmas drabbles for hp, mainly RonxHermione and HarryxGinny, that are a variety of lengths, and are scattered throughout their lives.

I hope that you like this, and I would love it if you would review, and feel free to make suggestions for some Christmas drabbles you would like to see :)
Have a great December :)
