Rose and Hugo got off the train together and a short, black haired girl yelling, "slag!" ran by her and disappeared behind the smoke of the train. Ron's body tensed up as he walked towards his kids, "Was that Ruby?" He asked Rose angrily, walking towards where the girl ran, "Did she just call you a s.." and Rose cut him off, "No dad, and she just likes to shout profanity. Here comes Ruby now!" A girl Rose's height with bright green eyes and red curly hair hugged Rose and kissed her on the lips. "Ruby, this is my dad" Rose said. Ruby me Rose's parents, aunt Ginny, Uncle Harry, and her grandparents, then they all went to the Borrow together.
Later that night after dinner, chatting, and playing games with the family and cousins, the best friends went to Ginny's old bedroom to relax together and talk about how their families celebrate the holidays while wrapping Christmas presents.
"She just spent three months with that girl and now theyre alone together? Why doesnt Rose come out here and talk to us?" Ron complained to Harry.
"She's a teenager" Harry replied, bored. "Just like James. They want to come visit for the holidays, but don't want to leave their rooms once they get here. I'm just glad Al isn't like that and Lilly is still too young to be annoyed with me" Lilly was lying on her belly with Hugo sitting next to her, counting their presents under the Christmas tree. "Ya know, guys, there's no use counting them now. Santa will be bringing more Christmas Eve" Harry said to his daughter and nephew. Hugo replied "Santa?" He's not even real. How many presents are we getting?"
"He is too!" Lilly yelled at him, "and he's going to bring you coal if you keep saying that!" She ran to her fathers lap and he grunted in pain. "You're getting a bit to big to be sitting in daddys lap, dear" he said to her. Lilly threw her head back onto Harry's chest, flashed her huge eyes and a sad face and replied, "But Uncle Ronny says I'm the cutest little princess that a daddy could have and that I should be spoiled" Harry bit his tongue and looked at Ron, annoyed, knowing he had told Lilly to say that so just to make sure Lilly did things that would get on Harry's nerves. Ron was trying not to laugh at Harry's pain.
"You're right, Lilly. My perfect Princess loves me still, and I should enjoy that" He said with a smirk on his face, looking at Ron. Ron left the room, annoyed, and went to see what was in the kitchen to eat, and heard the girls giggling in Ginny's old bedroom. He walked upstairs and went in to see what they were giggling about.
