Christmas at the Weasley's is insane like usual. And though they fight, they all love each other in the end and that's what truly counts. Harry/Snape friendship. Ron/Fleur friendship. Charlie/Draco. Severus/Hermione.

A Very Weasley Christmas

"Thank you for coming today. It really means a lot to us, and to Hermione."

Severus Snape looked up from his hands where he was examining a newly developed callus on his left knuckle. He was perched on a cozy leather chair in the back corner of the sitting room of the Burrow. It had been placed there in seclusion specifically for him by Molly Weasley so he could survey the festivities (if he desired) and remain apart from them (as he desired). He chuckled a bit at the comment that came from the messy black-haired boy – young man – who stood in front of him with a glass of wine and an earnest expression.

"I didn't really have a choice," he said blandly. "I can't exactly say no to her." He looked meaningfully at Hermione, who sat at the piano with a currently dark-haired Teddy on her lap. She kept trying to convince the boy to play chopsticks, but he chose instead to just create noise by banging on the keys.

"Really though," said Harry once more. "I do appreciate it. It's very kind of you. I know you could still refuse to come spend this time with us even now, but we all appreciate it and Ted loves you." Severus raised an eyebrow. Harry pointed once more to Ted Lupin and Severus simply stared.

He thought the young boy was trying to imitate Potter. After all, dark hair. And why would he ever imitate him?
