So much had happened since students had arrived from their Thanksgiving break. The three other students that had vanished were all found near the Forbidden forest and put in the Hospital wing for a few days, and were all known to be Muggleborn. What was strange was that there was a Slytherin muggleborn. John figured that the girl was the only one until they found out her brother was one as well. With all the accidents that had been going after that night, when the Head Houses were coming around to see who would be going home for Christmas, most every one signed up.
"Well with my new little sister, who knows how Christmas will be this year." Said Chris as the students all headed out to the carriages. Jessica sighed and looked up at the sky as fresh snow fell.
"Yeah, when was the last time we spent Christmas at home? First year?" she asked and John laughed. It was a fact that the last Christmas they had spent at home was when they were eleven years old.
"Well I suppose our mums will be happy to see that we're home." He said and Chris nodded in agreement. They began to climb in their carriage when John stopped and looked around.
"What's up John?" asked Jessica, sticking her head out the door.
"Where's Alex at?" he asked. Jessica rolled her eyes and pushed her hair out of her face.
"John, she has friends too. I saw her with that girl Cherise." She answered and pulled the red head into the carriage, closing the door so that they could go. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ron leaned forward and looked off the top of his parent-in-law's roof then went pale, and sat back. The Grangers had moved to a new house and had already settled in and everything not to long ago. They had bought a bigger house in fact, and with Christmas on the way, Mr. Granger had Ron up on the roof with him, helping him hang up Christmas lights.
"Not scared are you?" asked Mr. Granger, obviously amused. Ron shook his head quickly and swallowed.
"Thing is, wizard families don't do these types of things." He answered.
"Oh that's right, you use your trusty wands for these types of these things, right?" he asked and Ron shook his head.
"Well we have fairies. we decorate our houses and trees with them. Course you have to use a charm to keep them there." Mr. Granger frowned a little but continued with what he was doing. Soon enough, Hermione arrived with the kids. She grinned up at her husband.
"I never thought I'd see the day, Ronald Weasley." She laughed, causing him to scowl. The twins were waving up at him excitedly and John and Alex were both wearing their Hogwarts winter cloaks.
"Are you cold?" asked Jordan curiously. John looked down at him little brother.
"No Jordan, he's up their in the snow and shaking because he's hot." He said sarcastically. Jordan scowled.
"Well sorry to break up your fun, but we have things to do at home dad!" Hermione called.
"Of course dear. You have to get your kids settled in and all." Her father called and Ron quickly climbed off the roof.
"Right, let's get out of here." Said the red head quickly, blowing his breath into his hands to keep warm. Hermione ruffled his hair playfully.
"You look so adorable when you're all worked up." She teased. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Josh slipped under his dad's arm and ran into the house happily, with Sara close behind. Harry smiled and closed the door behind him. "Great, you didn't get the tree yet! Let's go now!" Josh called from the living room. Sara rolled her eyes as she took her cloak off.
"We just go home you prat. We have to see how mum is." She informed.
"You mean how wide she is?" asked Josh and Harry laughed, patting his son on the head.
"Really Joshua, can you be any more straight forward?" he asked, and the boy grinned,
"Really though dad, you can tell how many babies a lady is gonna have by the size of her stomach." Informed the boy, his bright green eyes shinning. The group went into the kitchen where Ginny was sitting in a chair working on Christmas cookies. "MUM, You're stomach is huge!" announced Josh and Sara elbowed him.
"Mum, you look great." She said, going up and kissing her on the cheek. Ginny grinned and pulled her son up to her, kissing his cheek and ruffling his sandy red hair.
"I've missed you both too." She said brightly. Harry laughed.
"Josh figures by the size of your stomach, you can tell how many kids you'll be having." Harry informed, taking on of the fresh cookies. Ginny raised an eyebrow at her son.
"Is that a fact, Josh?" she asked and looked at her belly. "How many do you suppose I'll be having?" she asked curiously.
"About four." Answered the boy causing Harry to choke on his cookie and Sara to laugh out loud.
"Let me guess, some one helped you make these crazy predictions?" Harry asked and Josh frowned a bit.
"A friend of mine who's a third year has Divinations and they're learning some weird stuff. He told me that method of telling how many kids you'll be having." Answered Josh and Harry patted his son on the head.
"Well your friend may just need a little more help." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Seamus yawned and looked at his daughter, Angela, sleeping on his chest and son sleeping at his side. "Lavender, we should really put these two to bed." He said tiredly. Lavender looked up and pushed her blonde hair out her face.
"But the three of you look so precious sleeping there in each other's arms." She laughed. "Besides, they seem pretty comfortable. It kinda fits the whole Christmas mood." She informed. Seamus sighed and looked at his kids.
"Yeah, I suppose you're right." He said and Lavender nodded in agreement.
"Besides, it's been a while since Chris spent a Christmas at home, so we have to savor this moment. It may be the last time after all." Seamus nodded.
"So, what if I have to go to work tomorrow?" he asked, running his hand over their daughters soft sandy hair with a gentle smile.
"That's just it. You're not going. Hermione managed to convince fudge into not giving us work so close to the holidays." Said Lavender, sitting next to her husband on the couch and cuddling close to him. "You'll be able to spend every day of this vacation with you're kids."
"Perfect." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Dean looked curiously over Parvati's shoulder as she and Jessica whispered and looked down over his son, Darnel. "What are you two doing to the poor boy?" he asked. Jessica lifted him up and showed her father the adorable Santa pajamas Parvati had bought him.
"Doesn't he look precious?" Parvati asked brightly. Dean rubbed the back of his neck and forced a smiled, though he didn't seem too sure.
"Yeah, I suppose." He agreed and Jessica rolled her eyes.
"C'mon dad, where's your Christmas spirit?" she asked and Dean smiled.
"I just don't see why we have to get him Santa pajamas." He said.
"I was either his Santa pajamas or you Santa boxers," teased Parvati and Jessica rolled her eyes.
"Please you two, there are children present." She informed. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You look so beautiful daddy." Said Jackie brightly. Angelina looked up from her magazine and couldn't help but snort. Fred was sitting on the floor in front of their daughter covered in the bows that were suppose to be used for the Christmas.
"Yes Fred, you look positively shaggable." She said and Fred grinned up at his wife. He was also sitting in some snowmen boxers that were an early Christmas gift from his charming wife and daughter.
"Well really Angelina, you aren't wearing the gift I got you." He said and she smirked.
"Well it's not exactly something to wear in front of children Fred. Virgin eyes, remember?" she informed and he shrugged.
"What did you get mummy, daddy?" asked Jackie curiously. Fred smiled and patted his daughter on the head.
"Something that will always keep the two of us happy, princess." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
George raised an eyebrow at his wife as their son stood in front of him in an elf costume. "What is he suppose to be?" he asked curiously.
"I'm one on Santa's helpers!" piped Jake. Alicia sighed and explained that the wizarding daycare had a new employee who was muggleborn and she wanted to do a Christmas play.
"Oh, is that what he is then?" George then grinned. "Well you do look pretty nice in that." Jake grinned proudly and ran up to his room to change. Alicia sighed and dropped on the couch with her husband.
'How Hermione does it, I don't know, but its slot of work just keeping Jake under control." She said, and laid her head on her husband's shoulder. George smiled and kissed the top of her forehead.
"Yeah, well Weasley kids aren't like all kids you know. We're on of a kind."
"I kind of figured that back when we were in school." Laughed Alicia and George grinned brightly.
"Yeah, you found me irresistible when you first laid those lovely blue eyes on me, eh?" he asked and she smirked.
"Oh please George, you know good and well Angelina was the first to be able to tell the difference between you and Fred in our first year. It took me nearly the whole year to find out you weren't Fred." George just shrugged and cupped her face into his hand.
"All that matters is that you chose me over him the same year." He kissed her gently.
"Oooo, wait for me!" announced Jake, jumping into his parents laps. "I want a kiss too!" he announced brightly. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Jason, be careful!" panicked Draco's wife, Pansy. She wasn't pug faced like back when they were in Hogwarts, and actually turned out to be very attractive.
"I know what I'm doing mum!" announced the blonde boy as he made an attempt to decorate their Christmas tree. Draco entered the room with his son, Will on his shoulders and shook his head.
"Really boy, do you have any clue what you're doing?" he asked, but with gentleness and teasing in his voice. Jason glared at his father from up on the ladder.
"I don't need anyone's help, thanks." He informed. Draco sat his five-year- old son on the ground and went up to his son.
"You know, we have servants to help with this." He informed.
"Yeah well I'm not dependent, thanks." Said Jason bitterly and continued with what he was doing, and tripped, falling into his father's arms.
"Dependent are we?" he asked and sat the boy on the ground. "Go ask nurse to clean that for you." he ordered and the boy obeyed.
"Really Draco, the boy is as stubborn as they come." Informed Pansy. Draco looked at his wife and shrugged.
"It's just a thing that runs in our family." He said. Pansy looked over at his youngest that was playing with some toys. "This one may be a bit different though."
"He won't be a future death eater you mean?" Pansy asked coldly. Draco frowned at her.
"I'm an Auror, and there's no way any son of mine is going to be a death eater." He informed. Pansy nodded knowingly
"I know, but you had better work on Jason now because he's already under the influence of our father."
