The Next Generation-Chapter 12

Author's Note: Ron and Harry never thought that they'd end up with family lives until now, but now life is really about change. Especially since now they had kids on their way to Hogwarts and the Death Eaters were becoming more and more.

Christmas Day

Chris rolled over and checked his clack for the fifth time since he had woken up. He had learned the year before to wait a few minutes before going and waking his parents up for Christmas presents. The other thing was, wait until at least six to do it. He stared at his clock. 5:58 am. He frowned and sat up. What's another two minutes? He quickly got up and ran into his parent's room where his parents were both sleeping as if they were up all night. He looked at the clock on his parent's dresser. 5:59 am. He waited until the six finally appeared and jumped onto the bed.

"MUM. DAD, wake up! It's present opening time!" he announced, jumping up and down on the bed until they finally got up. He pulled on his mom's arm since she was most likely to drop back into bed. Seamus dropped under the Christmas tree with his son and tossed Lavender her gift.

"Merry Christmas love." He said with a grin. She smiled back.

"You too."

"Come on dad! Open your gift!" *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Just like every other child, Jessica had planned out waking up her parents so they could open gifts. As soon as it hit six, she went into the living room and screamed on the top of her lungs until her parents came running in. "Merry Christmas." She said sweetly, holding presents up to their tired faces.

"You know Jessica, you could always wake us like every other child." Said Dean, dropping on the couch, but Parvati smiled happily and sat under the tree with her daughter. This would be the first great Christmas they'd spend together since Jessica was five and she was going to make up for the ones missed.

"C'mon Dean, where's your Christmas spirit?" she teased and she and Jessica grinned up at him.

"I think I might have left it back in bed." He answered, yawning, *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Wakey wakey." Said Josh, leaning over Harry's face and causing him to nearly have a heart attack. The little boy grinned happily and his mother and sister were visible behind him. "Merry Christmas dad."

"What time is it?" Harry muttered, rolling onto his face.

"It's gift opening time." Answered Sara happily and when Harry rolled over, she was holding his gift out to him. Harry smiled and put his glasses on, taking the gift.

"How long have you three been wake?"

"About 45 minutes." Answered Ginny, kissing his cheek. "Now why don't you get out of bed. We've been waiting all this time so we can open our gifts. And take pictures." His wife grinned and waved her camera around. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"DADDY!" called Alex, climbing onto her parent's bed and shaking Ron while John pulled Hermione out of bed. "Daddy, its Christmas time. Wake up so we can open presents." Ron groaned and sat up.

"It's six in the morning. I don't even remember waking up this early to open gifts." He announced. Hermione threw him a shirt.

"C'mon Ron, it's Christmas morning. Back at Hogwarts you once woke me up at five in the morning to give me a Christmas gift." Ron blushed.

"Young love." He informed her. Hermione snorted and kissed his cheek.

"What ever you say." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

With all of her kids married or moved out, Mrs. Weasley made them all promise to come home to the Burrow for Christmas breakfast and stay the rest of the day for dinner. Plus she loved the sound of all her grandchildren running around the house and out in the snow.

"Really though boys, you should consider having grandchildren before your poor mother dies of old age." Mrs. Weasley told Bill and Charlie as the family sat around the table eating breakfast. Bill frowned at her.

"Mum, most women I've dated aren't really looking forward to having five boys to look forward to." He informed her. She turned to Charlie.

"Mum, I'm too busy with the dragons to get married, let alone help raise five little Weasleys. why don't you get on Percy's case. He's been married the longest and Ron's beat him in the kid race."

"Shut up." Muttered Ron, throwing a piece of sausage at him. Harry snorted and continued to eat as the kids began to follow his best friend's example.

"Well we aren't exactly in a real rush to have kids." Percy told his older brother.

"Right. We still have to get a bigger house before having children." Said Penelope.

"Of course kids. No rushing into something you aren't ready for." Said Mr. Weasley, then looked at the twins who seemed to want to say something smart to Percy about the entire having children issue.

"So, how are you kids doing at Hogwarts? Not causing trouble are you?" asked Mrs. Weasley.

"No ma'am." Answered Sara.

"Grandma. do you know anything about Death Eaters?" asked John and everyone looked at him.

"Why dear?" asked Mrs. Weasley and he shrugged.

"Something my friend Jessica Thomas said. I was just a little curious." He answered, and continued to eat. Mr. Weasley looked down the table at Angelina and Alicia, who were being ver quiet.

"Anything wrong girls?" he asked.

"I have something to say." They said at the same time and they both looked at each other.

"What did you have o say?" asked Alicia.

"What did you have to say?"

"I'm pregnant." They said at the same time and everyone stared at them.

"Are you two serious?" asked Ginny, her and Hermione staring at them with bright eyes.

"Well I was confirmed by a doctor." Said Angelina.

"I took a test." Said Alicia. "Five times, all positive." The girls turned to everyone else and Mrs. Weasley ran to the end of the table, hugging both of them.

"I'm so happy!" she cried, before turning to the twins, who were extremely shocked, and hugging them.

"Wow, we're gonna be dads."
