DISCLAIMER : I don't own anything for Harry Potter, everything is from J.

English is not my native language but I try my best, as always.

Now, yes,... I'm still alive. It's been an awful long time since I updated anything... But what can I say? Real life is also still a life...

This chapter takes place during Christmas time . I know, it's kind of weird, but it has a story line and now I'm still at the Christmas period.

Enjoy!

Have a holly, jolly Christmas;
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow
but have a cup of cheer
Have a holly, jolly Christmas;
And when you walk down the street
Say Hello to friends you know
and everyone you meet

Burl Ives- A Holly Jolly Christmas

Christmas Time

The wind howled between the couple of trees that were standing in the garden. The sea was sweeping up against the rocks, looking like a big angry monster. Snow kept on falling on their heads, making them shiver while their noses turned red.

The couple kept on walking, knowing that they were almost where they needed to be.

You could hear the woman muttering under her breath about the fact that they should have used the floo instead of apperating. The man chuckled in response and said that they couldn't because the fireplace is blocked.

The woman's green eyes narrowed in slides but she noticed the grey twinkle in the man's eyes and let it go.

Finally have reached their destination , the woman quickly knocked on the wooden door.

Inside the house they could hear the shuffling of feet and then a voice spoke.

"Who is it?"

"My name is Evangelina Black, at Hogwarts I was a Hufflepuff and I'm married to Regulus Black. My brother-in-law nickname is Padfoot. You Bill Weasley , are the secret-keeper of Shell Cottage and you gave us your address if there was anything we needed."

Lina heard a lock creak and then the door opened. Bill Weasley smiled at them and ushered the both of them inside the house, quickly closing the door again.

"Lina, Regulus, what are you doing here? Is there something wrong?" Bill asked , while giving Lina a hug and smacking Regulus on the back.

Lina shook her blond head and some snow fell onto the floor.

"No Bill, nothing is wrong. We 're actually send by Molly to see if we could convince you to come to the Christmas party," Lina said.

Bill rolled his eyes in response.

"I told mom that me and Fleur are staying home this Christmas and Fleur doesn't like Celestina Warbeck."

Regulus chuckled in response.

Lina took a seat at the kitchen table and sighed.

"I told your mother that it wouldn't work but she's just so convincing."

Seeing Bill's questioning look Regulus spoke up.

"Molly said that she would make treatle tart and chocolate fudge if Lina tried and came to convince the both of you."

Bill couldn't laugh help but laugh out loud at that.

" Don't laugh at me William Arthur Weasley. I can't help it that your mother makes excellent food that I like to eat," Lina said huffing slightly but her eyes betrayed her that she wasn't mad.

"Where's Fleur?" Regulus asked, from the seat he had taking.

"Oh ... she's just upst...-"

"Bill ! Bill !" The suddenly yelling came from upstairs and the three had already drawn theirs wands when Fleur came running down the stairs.

"He's gone Bill!" She yelled, grabbing Bill's arms and pulling at them.

"What?" Bill asked bewildered.

Fleur shook her head, her blond hair flying across her face while she pulled at Bill's arm.

"He's gone Bill. He's not in his room. He left and all his things are gone as well," Fleur said quickly, her French accent lacing her every word.

Bill sighed loudly and racked one of his hands in his long red hair.

Regulus looked at Lina above Bill's shoulder and raised his eyebrows in question.

Lina gently raised her shoulders and shook her head.

"When was the last time you saw him?" Bill asked his wife.

"I don't know Bill, a while ago. He told me he wanted to be alone, so I let him be," Fleur answered, her blue eyes looking remorseful.

Bill noticed this and pulled her in to a hug. "It's not your fault, he left. He must have had a reason to leave."

"I know Bill , but still..." Fleur said.

Bill gave her a gentle squeeze and pulled back. He looked at Regulus and Lina and sighed , letting go of Fleur.

"You're probably wondering who we are talking about?" he asked.

Lina nodded her head.

"Ron was here. But now he's gone." Bill said.

"What?!" Regulus asked surprised.

"What do you mean , Ron was here?!" Lina asked at the same time.

Bill waved at the chair. "Take a seat. It's a rather long story..."

"And now he's gone," Bill said, finished his story.

Lina took a sip from her chocolate milk and stared into the fire.

"He didn't tell you why he came back?" Regulus asked.

Bill shook his head. "No, but whatever the reason was, I know Ron felt awful about it. And he was ashamed about it as well."

"But how would he know where they are?" Regulus asked , a hand racking through his black locks.

Bill raised his shoulders in response.

"I don't know, but he will find them of that I'm certain."

Lina smiled and nodded his head. "Yes, he will find her and Harry of course."

Fleur smiled and said : "I think he's just following his heart, he will be okay Bill."
