"Ronald Weasley, get down here now" Called Molly, "Our guests will be here in ten minutes!"
"I'm coming Mum" Ron yells back as he pulls on some nice jeans and a dress shirt.
Normally, Ron wouldn't care much when his mom told him there Christmas guests were coming, but this year Ron was excited to see a certain guest. Ron was the last of the Weasley children still living in the burrow as Ginny had moved in with Harry at number twelve Grimmauld Place. He was also the only not in any kind of relationship after he and Hermione had broken up at the last Christmas party the Weasley's house, so it was no surprise to anyone that she would not be attending this year. Hermione had dumped Ron after she caught him talking to Fleur's sixteen year old sister Gabrielle, who was laughing in a flirtatious way every time Ron said something remotely funny or anything at all. Hermione walked in when Gabrielle had thrown herself around Ron and planted a kiss on his lips, not seeing that someone had put mistletoe above Ron's head and he had pushed her off almost immediately after the kiss had begun. Long story short, Ron hadn't heard from Hermione since then and had only heard about her not coming from Harry.
Ron ran down the stairs just in time to see the first set of guests, Fred and George arrived. The twins decided to live full time at their joke shop after the war. Ginny and Harry followed only seconds later. Ron hugged Harry and then Ginny, as Charlie and Percy walked through the door. Finally the guests Ron had really been waiting for walked through the door, Bill and Fleur walked through, arms linked, and beside them walked Gabrielle. Ron found himself entranced in her beauty, she was now seventeen, and seemed to have gotten more beautiful since last Christmas. She was dressed in a beautiful silver dress that Ron noticed, hugged her body nicely.
"Ronald!" She cries out in excitement as she flings herself at Ron. Ron catches her in an embrace similar to the one they had shared last Christmas, but less awkward since Ron didn't have to worry about it looking like he was cheating on Hermione this time.
"Get a room you two" Fred teased.
Ron realizing that all of the Weasley's as well as some other guests who had just walked in had witnessed the whole thing. So in an attempt to avoid any further embarrassment, Ron moved Gabrielle beside him and placed his arm around her. Gabrielle seemed perfectly content with this and nestled herself right up to Ron. Ron scanned the room noticing that Neville and Draco (who had changed a lot since his father had been sent to Azkaban, which included becoming friends with Harry and Ron) were the last guests who had entered and witnessed Ron and Gabrielle's loving embrace.
"Finally found yourself a girl, eh Weasel?" joked Malfoy as he hung up his coat.
Ron walked over with arm still around Gabrielle and greeted the two new guests with a one armed hug.
"I see you haven't had much success in that department" Ron joked back at Draco.
With that Ron, Molly and Arthur lead the guests into the kitchen and took those who would be staying the night to their rooms. Which included all the Weasley children as well as their spouses. Since Fleur was staying with Bill, and there were no other rooms for her to stay in, Gabrielle decided to with Ron in his room for the night. Ron knew that this was going to be one fantastic Christmas.
