Summary/Notes: Neville and Hannah's first Christmas without his grandmother
The holidays were always hard for them, but even more so this year; the first year without his grandmother.
Like every year, they visited his parents at St. Mungos, but it wasn't the same. He had told his parents about his grandmother's death the day after it had happened that past summer, but he could tell from his father's frequent glances at the ward door that he was expecting her to show up.
They didn't stay long; it was too hard for him.
Her father's house was their next stop. She was an only child and her mother had been murdered during their sixth year. Her father, who had been out of the country at the time of the attack, had never recovered from the loss his wife.
Their stay there was short, too, because it was hard on her.
Christmas dinner found them seated around the table at the Burrow, eating with the Weasley-Potter family. It was busy, loud and full of love; exactly what they needed for their rough Christmas.
They cut their visit there a bit short; so they could go home and work on starting their own family.
