"Happy holidays, Neville." Greeted Ron. John followed his dad into the Leaky Cauldron and grinned when he spotted Janet. They sat at the bar and Ron handed Neville the gifts he had gotten for his friend's family. "I told Hermione about Hannah expecting, and she felt the need for us to give you guys some gifts." He informed.
"Thanks Ron, tell Hermione I said the same." Said Neville. "Just wish I had a gift for you."
"Forget about it. These are from the heart." Said Ron. As the men talked, John talked to Janet at the other end of the bar.
"I've never seen you with your hair down. You look nice." He informed. "I don't see why you don't wear it like that at school." She shrugged.
"I never really like having it down. I'm just doing this for my dad. Plus perverted old guys seem to order more drinks when they see an attractive blonde passing them out." She informed, twirling a piece of hair around her finger. John frowned.
"Neville asked you to do that?" he asked and she shook her head.
"No, I figured it our on my own. Plus we're inviting Tom over for the Christmas since he doesn't have family to go to for the holidays, and we want to give him a great gift." She then looked up at him in the eyes.
"I've hardly ever seen you so relaxed, and you look nice in those muggle clothes. What's the deal?" she asked. John's ears began to turn pink.
"Oh, well I'm out with my dad. We have to get my mum a Christmas gift and we'll be going to some place called a mall." John informed. "And as for the relaxed thing, I'm out of school with no homework and its Christmas vacation. Why shouldn't I be relaxed?" he asked brightly. She laughed and pushed some hair out of her face.
"So, that's your dad down there, eh?" she asked and John looked down at Ron nodding. "How old is he?"
"I guess he's 35. Why?" John asked.
"He looks so young." Janet answered. "He's very attractive, I bet your mum has a lot of trouble keeping scarlet women away from you two." She faced the red head once again.
"What's this? Does the brilliant Miss Longbottom fancy red heads?" John asked and she blushed, straightening up and looking away from the boy.
"Get over yourself, Weasley." She said and went to go collect orders. John smirked and watched her walk off to continue her job. Janet WAS really pretty. 'Too bad she's Kel's girl friend.' John got up to join his dad but then spotted Janet glaring at a guy that had to have been in his early twenties.
"C'mon lovely. There are plenty of free rooms in here." Said the guy, grabbing her arm.
"Excuse me, but are we having a problem?" asked John, stepping between the two of them. The man glared at the fourteen year old boy from his seat and then stood up, towering over him by about a few inches.
"There won't be trouble if you don't start it."
"There won't be a problem if you let her go." Said John just as annoyed. "And maybe lay off the alcohol.
"John, you had better stop." Said Janet nervously. Just in time, Ron stepped up, being taller than the man did fortunately.
"Are we having a problem here men?" he asked. The man in his son's face let go of Janet's arm and began to stutter. His friend was sitting silently. "That's what I thought. Now I think the owner," Ron nodded in Neville's direction. "Would appreciate it if you didn't touch his daughter."
"What's this about touching Janet?" came a voice and Tom, the old innkeeper came up, leaning on his cane.
"Nothing Tom, sir." Said Ron quickly, but Tom ignored him and went p, smacking the man in front of John upside the cane.
"How many times have I told you about coming in here and causing trouble!" he snapped. Ron steeped back a bit as the old man yelled, and then he turned to John. "Thank you for trying to help young man." He said, and turned to Janet. "Come now dear, I have something for you." He said and Janet nodded.
"Thanks John." She said and kissed his cheek before following the old man. Ron smirked and slapped his soon on the back.
"You're going to hear about this later on tonight my boy." He informed. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Percy yawned and looked up at Bill and Charlie, who were standing in front of him, telling him about their Christmas plans. Jennifer was sleeping in a playpen and Penelope was out shopping. "So, are you trying to tell me you won't be home for Christmas?" Percy finally asked. Bill and Charlie exchanged looks.
"Listen Perc, you don't understand!" announced Bill. "This girl is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity. She's taking me and Charlie and a FEMALE friend of hers up to a ski lodge for Christmas. you have to understand what that means!" Bill announced.
"You can't even ski." Said Percy, raising an eyebrow at his older brothers.
"Who ever said we'd be skiing?" asked Charlie, crossing his arms. Percy rolled his eyes. "All we need you to do is tell mum we couldn't make it."
"And then she'll yell at me for not stopping you. Sorry you two, but Christmas is for family, not horny males to go to ski lodges with easy girls."
"You've got a wife Percy, you don't know what its like to be ever so lonely." Said Bill, trying to sound sad.
"Two words, get married." Said Percy, and got up. Both of his older brothers frowned.
"Guess we'll just have to leave with out a trace then." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"How lovely." Said Mrs. Weasley brightly as the twins and Jordan showed their grandmother what they made in daycare for the Christmas holidays. She helped them take their cloaks off and the men joined Mr. Weasley in the living room for butterbeer and eggnog, while the women did the same in the kitchen, and the kids went up to Percy's old room, which was now changed to be a play room.
"Aw yes, boys. Holidays are truly the best time of the year." Said Mr. Weasley said brightly, his face slightly red from the fact he had dipped into the drinks a while before the family began to arrive.
"Really dad, maybe you should take it easy on the drinks. Its Christmas eve and we don't need to be taking you to the hospital." Said Fred, a bit concerned. Mr. Weasley just laughed.
"Come now Fredrick, you know I don't get drunk." He said brightly.
"Funny, that's just what Harry said at his bachelor party." Said Ron with a grin. He was a bit pink in the face, but wasn't as bad as his dad.
"You know dad, I'm beginning to agree with Fred." Said Perct, taking the glass out of their dad's hand. Harry leaned forward and looked his father in law in the face.
"Mr. Weasley, are you there?" he asked. George began to stand up and waved his hand in his dad's face.
"Dad!" announced Fred, shoving Harry and George out of the way and looking him in the face. His eyes were glazed over and he began getting pale..
"I don't think he's breathing." Said Ron quietly, now at Fred's side.
