Merry Christmas Lo, my adorably Beta reader ;) You are amazing...
The Ministry Christmas party, again. Every year since the war, that we are invited, 4 years have passed, so much time, and I didn´t even saw it pass…
The party is just some old men drinking firewisky and other drinks, talking and bragging about things they actually didn´t do in the war, and then it was us, well, just me and Ron in this year, because Harry and Ginny are in their honeymoon. So it just started and I´m already bored, most of the people in my department are boring, and the ones who aren´t didn´t came to the party.
"Hermione!" Ron was shaking my arm.
"What Ron?" Always interruption my thoughts…
"I was asking you if you want anything to drink."
"Oh…no, thank you. Sorry I snapped at you, I just hate this parties; everyone so fake." I said looking around. People in white uniforms had silver platters in their hands, some food and drinks in them, they sometimes disappeared trough the kitchen door to refill.
"Yeah, well, you know how it is; everyone wants to look nice in our eyes, so we can go tell good things about them to Harry…it´s weird you know, he´s not even the minister of magic…"
I looked over to the minister of magic, who was laughing of some joke.
"Yeah, but they know they´re friends. And Harry will always be the boy who lived, no matter how old he is." I was looking to the Christmas tree, it was big and full of lights, it really was beautiful, I wonder if the house elves done it…if yes, I´ll have to talk to a certain minister of magic…
"Well, I guess you´re right…You know, you can talk to me. I´m bored too, I preferred being off fighting some evil." He said trying to look very manly.
I could stop a laugh. "Oh Ron, just you to make me laugh in a moment like this."
"Yeah that´s because I…Oh Merlin are those miniature cakes?" He went next to a man with white uniform and took almost all of the content of his platter and started eating.
I was perplexed, how could these things still surprise me? He would always be Ron.
"Wh´t?" He said with his mouth full. " Oh..I w´s going to tell you I loved you ´Mione."
I couldn´t take it anymore and started laughing out loud attracting some weird looks by ministry officers.
"I love you too Ron…" I said when I stopped laughing, which took a while, he already had swollen; I grabbed his color and kissed him.
