"Do you think we bought them enough stuff?"

"Oh, but it's Christmas and we only spoil them once a year." It was early Christmas Eve, Penelope, Percy, Molly, and Arthur had gotten the kids out of the house, and everyone else was wrapping gifts.

"This is ridiculous; I'm never buying them anything ever again." Fred said trying to pry a stubborn piece of tape off his finger.

"You don't mean that." His wife said helping him with the piece of tape and handing him another gift to wrap.

"What is this anyway?" Fred said holding up the thing Angelina had just passed him; it looked a bit like a rat with wings.

"It's a model of a Peruvian Vipertooth dragon for Jareth. You should know this Fred, you bought it for him."

"I did?" Fred said and then looking at it closely remembered. "Oh yeah I did, I just hope he likes it."

"He will; he loves magical creatures." Celina said smiling, "just like his father."

"He's top of his year in Care of Magical Creatures." Charlie said proudly.

"So remind me why we're doing this by hand?" Fred asked struggling with the tape again.

"I didn't think it would be a very good idea for the eleven of us to be in close proximity casting wrapping spells. We could have wound up wrapping each other instead of the gifts." Hermione said wrapping a doll for Sonia.

"And we were doing this by magic Daniel wouldn't have been able to help."

"Don't joke about something like that Ginny, I would hate to miss out on all this fun." Daniel, Fred, and George laughed.

"Right, that's it, you're not allowed to hang around with Fred and George anymore."

"How dare you insinuate that we have been a bad influence?" Fred asked sounding very affronted.

"If anything we've helped young Dan here reach his potential." Daniel smiled, leaned over, and kissed Ginny.

"I love you."

"Sure suck up now." Daniel winked at her, "Oh I love you too."

"Isn't that just precious." Fred said rolling his eyes. Ginny chucked a couch cushion at him and it hit him in the head. Everyone laughed at that even Fred.

"What are they doing, waiting for Santa Clause?" Harry asked wrapping his arms around his wife and resting his chin on her shoulder.

"I think it's sweet." Hermione replied. It was several hours later and the children had decided that they would sleep in sleeping bags in the front hall around the tree.

"I suppose."

"It's like a giant slumber party."

"I wouldn't know – I never had one of those."

"Neither did I, I never really had any friends until you and Ron."

"I'm glad our children have the Weasley's to be friends with."

"So am I."

"Let's go to bed love."

"Tired?"

"No."

"Alright, let me just take care of something in the kitchen."

"Do it tomorrow."

"It'll only take a minute." Harry gave her a look, but didn't argue any further. She was back inside of a minute holding something behind her back.

"What have you got there?"

"Never you mind. Now lead on, you were after all the one anxious to get to bed."

"You're up to something."

"It's entirely possible."

"Goodnight all of you – behave." Hermione said as she and Harry ascended the stairs. Calls of 'goodnight mum' and 'goodnight Mrs. Potter' followed them up the stairs as they went to their room.

"So," Harry said rising an eyebrow at Hermione as she shut their bedroom door behind them.

"Okay so I am up to something – here," Hermione handed him a small box, "it's you Christmas present, but I thought you might want to open it in private." Harry looked at her suspiciously and opened the box. Inside was a chain with what looked like a pair of wedding rings.

"What is this?" Harry asked pulling the necklace out of the box and examining the rings.

"They were your parent's rings."

"How?"

"Lupin found them for me. He didn't say where he found them and I didn't ask."

"Was he sure?"

"Yes, he remembered the inscriptions they had put on the inside. They both say 'I love you more then yesterday, but less then tomorrow' and Lily's has your initials, James had them added after you were born. Harry looked closely at the inside of the rings and saw the words glittering back at him. He felt a tear slide down his cheek as he put the chain around his neck and pulled Hermione into a tight embrace.

"This is the most wonderful gift you could give me."

"I thought it would be nice for you to have something of theirs. I mean I know you have you're father's invisibility cloak, but these belonged to both of them – it's a part of the life they had together."

"I love you." Harry said kissing her.

"I love you too."

"It doesn't bother you that you're husband cries?"

"Not at all – I think it makes you a stronger person."

"Nice of you to put it that way."

"You think crying over your parents is a weakness?"

"Yes."

"It's not love, I promise it's not." They both went into their dressing room to change and got into bed. Harry wrapped his arms around her, placed his head next to hers, and started to cry silently into her hair. Hermione stroked his arm supportively.

"It's just hard sometimes. Seeing our family, it makes me wish I had brother and sisters growing up or just parents even."

"Maybe I shouldn't have given you the rings."

"No love, like you said now I have something that belonged to both of them. But I wish they could be here to see us and their grandchildren."

"I'm sure they see us Harry and I know they're proud of you." Harry pulled her closer to him. His tears had stopped and now he just wanted to hold Hermione tight.

"That is the sweetest thing I have ever heard." Ginny whispered to Hermione as the two of them hurried around the kitchen getting coffee and breakfast ready while the children started in on their gifts. Hermione had told Ginny about her gift to Harry.

"You think so?"

"Are you kidding me? Harry's always had a soft spot about his parents, which is understandable, and now he has something of theirs."

"That's what I thought – that's what gave me the idea. I'm just glad he liked it."

"Is he wearing them?"

"Yes, he didn't even take them off when he took a shower this morning."

Out in the front hall the children were amerced in a pool of gift wrap; ribbons and bows flying in every direction. Every few moments there was a random thank you to the gift givers. After thirty minutes the gifts were all unwrapped.

"I think that is the fastest I've ever seen gifts be unwrapped." Harry said looking at the mess that the front hall had turned into.

"Should we make the announcement then?" Hermione asked leaning over to Harry to talk to Ginny.

"I'm ready if you are."

"Can I have everyone's attention please?" Hermione called and the din of conversation quieted and everyone looked at her. "I have a little announcement to make and so does Ginny."

"You want to go first?" Ginny asked.

"Doesn't matter to me – since both announcements are the same."

"I guess I'll start then. Daniel and I are going to be having another baby." Everyone cheered and looked at Hermione and Harry.

"Harry and I are having another baby as well – actually we're having twins." Everyone cheered again.

Everyone cheered except one person, Ron. He had barley come back into his family and now they were having another baby. Where did that leave him?

AN: Well this turned into a fun little chapter about snippets of their lives. I'll try to update soon. As you might have guessed from the last paragraph the story is switching to Ron's perspective.

Malfoy vs Potter – I'm glad you love the story. Hope you enjoy this update as well

Taylor Bunting – The centered around Ron thing is coming, it'll probably be his pov for the rest of the story, but I don't know yet – glad you enjoyed the update
