Harry woke up early the next morning but to his surprise Ron was already up and out of the dorm.

' This can't be good.'

Harry saw his presents but neglected them to find out where his best friend was. He looked in the common room and he saw Hermione looking upset. " What's wrong Hermione?" Harry asked.

" Harry," Hermione paused. " Just come with me."

Hermione lead Harry to the hospital wing. What Harry saw filled him with dread. Harry couldn't be happy even on Christmas.

Harry saw Mrs. Weasley on the bed. Mrs. Weasley looked deadly pale. But Harry knew she wasn't dead. She was still breathing.

Harry looked to the left of him and saw all the Weasley's (except for Fred and George of course.). It was depressing to see all the Weasley's so upset.

" I'm sorry." Harry whispered.

" Harry, it's not your fault." Mr. Weasley said. " It's You-Know-Who's if anyone's. You shouldn't blame your self for a thing He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Name did or has done.

" But it isn't a surprise we've got attacked. We were lucky enough the first time. But this time, we had a reason for You-Know-Who to be after us."

Harry saw Ginny crying. She was in between Bill and Ron.

" Merry Christmas." Harry said than whispered to Ginny. " Ginny come and see me later I got something I want to give you."

Harry wished he hadn't been the boy-who-lived. He wished he lived a normal life. Well as normal as life can be for a wizard. He wanted his family to be alive. Harry went back to his dormitory and laid on his bed when he fell into as uneasy sleep.

" Harry don't wish for the worst." Harry heard his mum say. " This was meant to happen."

" Yes, son." Harry's dad said " we knew we weren't going to make it."

Harry woke up and Ron was back in the dorm.

"About time you woke up." Ron said. " C'mon let's open presents with Ginny and Hermione."

Harry loved all of his presents. He got Candy from Ron. A book on Quidditch from Hermione. Some treacle fudge from Hagrid. Harry still got a sweater from Mrs. Weasley, as did Ron and Ginny. Ginny had gotten Harry some Quidditch tactics books.

Harry smiled and looked at Ginny than said " Merry Christmas love." He handed Ginny a small velvet green box.

Ginny glanced at the box than opened. She gasped than threw her arms around Harry and said " It's beautiful Harry. Can you help me put it on?"

Harry grabbed the locket and put it around Ginny neck than gave her a kiss on the cheek. Harry knew Ginny would love it from the time Harry saw it at Hogsmade. It had hearts on the front, than a slightly bigger heart with a Diamond in the middle. Than on the inside of the locket Harry put a picture of Ginny and himself with an inscription ' I will love you always Virginia Weasley.'

Harry put his arms around Ginny's waist. "I love you."

Ginny gave Harry a small smile than leaned against him.

The rest of Christmas Day was spent with Mr. Weasley, Bill, Charlie, and Percy. With some smiles thought not a lot.

A/N: Ok I really hate to end the chapter here but I need to. I hope it wasn't disappointing for anyone.

Ok now plze keep in mind, Parade season is starting, and I have some other things going on musical wise, so chapters may either become more/less frequent. With any luck I may have this done before the end of the year.

Can we try and get over 60 reviews for this story? I've gotten more reviews than I did the last time I posted this... How about we try to go for a hundred before I hit the last chapter?

Ok enough with my complaining.

Plze leave nice reviews!
