Summary/Notes: Ron's Christmas wish

For the first time in his nineteen years of existence, he felt no desire to get out of bed really early on Christmas morning to see what he had received from his family and friends.

He was sure that this was due to the fact that Hermione was wrapped up tightly in his arms. With her by his side (and in his bed) there was nothing he could receive that would be better than lying with her in his arms.

As much as he wished they could stay like this all day, he knew they would have to get up eventually. If they didn't show up for at her parents' for brunch, her mum would call and if they didn't show up to his parents' house for dinner there would be floo calls, patronises flying into their room or worse, unwanted visitors.

Maybe next year he'd try and convince her to go away with him for Christmas; just the two of them. Some place warm, like the Caribbean or something.

But this year, he'd settle with spending a few more hours with her in his arms before they got wrapped up in the chaos that was Christmas day.
