Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, or any of the wonderful characters I have borrowed for this fanfiction.

A/N – As it is now December, I have decided to write a series of oneshots about various Christmases past, present and future in the Harry Potter universes. Expect fluffiness, family time and just a little bit of angst (because I love to wrote it!) All pretty much canon ships, except for Neville/Luna, (which I refuse to accept is not canon) missing moments, insights into the past, glimpses into the future etc. If you have any requests for anything you think I should write, then please tell me, but I won't write slash. Sorry.

-------Prologue-------

Christmas

A time for crying

A time for laughing

A time for being with those you love

Your friends

Your family

Your one true love?

Yule Balls, Yule brawls

Family dinners, paper hats

Mornings spent in bed

Snowball fights

Leaving aboard the Hogwarts Express

And returning.

Missed opportunities

Together, apart.

United by Christmas.

A/N – Ignore the crappiness of this miserable excuse for a poem. It's just a little prologue to kind of start this off.
