It's Christmas Eve! No matter how old you may be Christmas is still awesome! Right? At least it is here at Potter house. Every year we host a little get together on Christmas Eve, so we can wrap the gifts for our children. While we let the grandparents play with the kids until bedtime.
I stroll into the kitchen to get a whiff of Hermione's homemade hot cocoa. She stood in her soft grey sweater rolled up to her elbows, fitted khaki pants, and her favorite light coffee wool socks. She also had her now shoulder length chocolate locks pulled into a small tight ponytail.
I sneak up from behind her and enfold my arms around her. She snuggled closer to my chest, while a smile dances up to her mouth.
"Hello, Harry," she softly laughs.
"Hey," I whisper into her hair, tickling her petite waist.
"What are you doing?" she wonders with a little laugh.
"Holding my beautiful wife," I murmured as I brought my lips closer to hers.
"Mmmhmm, you do know that any minute our tumbling son might come in or our hyperactive daughter?" she giggled.
"Or you two might burn down the house!" a new voice laughed.
Hermione took the pot off the stove then we immediately turned around to face Fleur. She was holding her new buddle of joy in her arms, while wearing an evil smirk.
"I feel like its Ron all over again at the hospital," Herms laughed.
"Oh yeah!" I chuckled.
"But you just had a baby!" Herms and I said in unison.
Fleur's face looked priceless. She quickly sat down at the counter, giving us a look that read do-tell-now. We told her what happened at the hospital causing her to bust with laughter. She soon went back into the living room with everyone else.
Hermione was reaching for Harmony's favorite Santa Clause mug, when it fell. At the same time Heath crawled closer to Hermione. Panicked dashed through my body. I quickly casted a shielding charms, causing the mug to bounce off Heath and onto the counter. As I was doing that Hermione dived for Heath not knowing what I was doing.
She cradled him in her arms with a great force. Heath just started to cry in the shock of what just happened.
"Close call," I signed.
"Thank Merlin we are wizards," Herms said letting out a deep sign.
"I know," I replied scooping up Heath in my arms.
Heath just giggled and snuggled close to me. I watched as Hermione received the rest of the mugs, poured the cocoa, and laid them out. As we all gathered in the living room, laughing, and dancing to Christmas songs. It never failed every time Wonderful Christmas Harmony would drag me up to the center then request I dance with her.
As we tucked in the kids, and everyone left; we all gathered our gifts. I bought Herms the newer version of Hogwarts: A History, Harmony a toy broom, and Heath a new Gryffindor rattle.
Christmas Morning
I woke up with Hermione snuggled up to my side, with a gentle smile on her face. Her chestnut locks covered her eyes, and her soft breaths touched my heart. I remember our first Christmas she was so excited she ran down like a child and raced to tree. She hates it when I bring it up, but I know deep down inside it warms her heart.
As soon as I began to snuggle back to Hermione, we heard a little knock on the door.
"DADDY SANTA CAME LAST NIGHT!" Harmony squealed.
I turned to Hermione and we played rock, paper, scissors, to see who would open the door. Sadly, I lost... three times.
I fling the door open only to Harmony still dressed in her lime green night-gown, holding Mister Waffles.
"DADDY! SANTA CAME!" she cheered.
I picked her up flinging her over my bare shoulder then made my way to the living room; to wait on Herms and Heath. Mr. Granger wanted to be left alone today. He just misses Mrs. Granger a lot. I understand why, I couldn't even dream of losing my Herms or the kids. I would probably act the exact same.
Hermione came in holding Heath in her arms sporting her normal puffy, white robe; while Heath wore his Gryffindor footed pajamas. He now was smarting to grow little chestnut curls on the top of his head.
"FINALLY MOMMY!" Harmony exclaimed causing Heath to frown.
"Harmony, I don't like Heath liked that," Hermione chuckled.
Heath just clapped his hands rapidly as Hermione laughed. He was just too cute. Hermione and Heath sat on the edge of the couch while Harmony and I circled around the tree. Every time Heath got a gift he clapped, gurgled, then shows us a toothless grin.
Harmony, was so too excited. Every time Santa had given her a gift she'll just jump up and pray the tree for more gifts. Hermione, showed me a sweet little smile once she received the newer copy of her favorite book.
When I opened up the gift Hermione gave me, my heart just leaped out of my chest. In a good way. She gave me a braclet that held all of ours birthstones and our partnous's. It was silver and not to flashy. She new me too well.
The day ended with Hermione playing Christmas songs on the piano, while Harmony sung them and danced around the room. Each time Hermione switched a song, Heath and I would clap. His a little bit more crazier then mine but you get the point.
This truly was a wonderful Christmas.
