And so he kept his promise. The boys were now men of twenty-two. They, of course, still lived together. Draco bought them a nice little cottage not so far from the headquarters. So much had changed since sixth year, but their love was just as strong as ever; if not more strong.
Let's start with the Weasleys.
Bill married a rocker witch from America, Ashli. Together they started a band, which was getting pretty popular. They hoped to soon get a contract to make it big in the wizarding world. They had a seven year old son, Billy, who was already learning to play guitar. Charlie was the only one in the family not to marry a magical girl. His wife, Mary, lived down the street from the order. He met her on a walk and they almost instantly fell in love. She laughed at him when he told her that he was a wizard. Of course she would think it was a joke. Then he showed her some pretty extreme magic, and she passed out for two days. They have two sons, Chuck and Ron; named for his youngest and most favorite brother, of course.
Percy, who was still a little shaky with the family, married his old girlfriend; Penelope Clearwater. They currently had three children. There was David, Michael, and Robert. David was three, Michael was two years of age, and Robert was still just three months old. The twins had the most interesting situation. They both married redheads. Those two girls where best friends, who kind of looked alike. Both couples birthed triplets. To Fred was born George, Chandler, and Thomas. To George was born Fred, Matthew, and Shawn. The two sets were born only a few days apart. Fred's children are the oldest. They were all currently five years old, and looked almost exactly like. Of course their fathers were teaching them everything they knew. Then there was Ginny. Even though she was the youngest, she had the most children. Who could blame her? She had the hottest spouse. Neville Longbottom. Now listen, he's grown up a lot. He was taller than even Ron, with an extreme amount of muscles. His face lined out and defined its felt. He was definitely a hottie, and Ginny could barely keep her hands off of him. Although he was so strong, he was still a big coward. His Gran died just a few months ago. He was torn up over it, but Ginny was relieved, she hated the woman. Their oldest child was six years old. They called him Junior, so they didn't get both Neville's confused. Their next was born eleven months later. He was named after their best friend, Seamus. Then just eleven months after that, Christian was born. Can you guess what happened next? Yeah, eleven months later, Joshua came into the world. Then they broke the pattern after that. Their next came in a set, more than two years later. Twins; a boy and a girl. They wanted to name the next boy after Harry. But could you imagine that? Harry Longbottom! That just sounds wrong. So they named the boy, who was the oldest of the twins, Drake, after Draco. The girl was named Katie. Now, for the real surprise. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had another child...well, kind of. Don't worry, Mrs. Weasley didn't get pregnant. Mr. Weasley, being as obsessed as he was with Muggles, convinced Molly to adopt a child from a Muggle orphanage. She agreed, only if it could be a girl. And so they adopted a ten year old girl, Marissa, who was also a redhead. Harry and Hermione have been wed for two years, but still had no children. They, unlike the Weasleys, knew how to use protection. However, they planned on having children, after Hermione was done her studies; which would be soon. She was going to be a Charms teacher. Once she started her career, they would start trying to have a child, but they didn't want many. Most of them didn't have good professions. Harry and Draco had so much money, that they support their lovers. Fred and George made tons of money from their business, but they didn't have to work very hard. Bill and Charlie both quit their old jobs in order to move closer to everyone, and they didn't get paid much, however it didn't matter; as long as they helped out with The Order, they were happy. Neville inherited enough money to get him along for the time being. As much as Ron hated being supported by Draco, he loved him and he knew in order for them to help out around The Order, he couldn't get his own job. Percy was still working for the ministry, which was now run by Dumbledore, he wasn't too happy about that. His wife also works in the same department as him. I think I've told you enough about the present so far... let's go back a little. After sixth year, Draco went to visit his parents in Azkaban. Ron was scared out of his mind, but he went with his boyfriend, because he loved him so much. His mother had gone completely insane. She hadn't recognized him. He kissed her cheek and she slapped him. Draco broke down into tears. He still loved his mother. His father was a different story.
His father was still completely sane. He swore that he would kill Draco for disgracing his family so much. He had found out from some source that his boy was in Gryffindor, but he never knew Draco was gay. Of course, when he found out, he went ballistic. Draco and Ron walked away with grins on their faces after making out right in front of Lucius, disturbing the man for life. Months after their visit, Draco's mother died. All of the Weasleys and all of Draco's new friends attended the funeral, because he did still love his mother. She was never supposed to be a Death Eater. She was always the sweet one... she didn't even know Draco was being brainwashed. Speaking of which, there was another trial for Lucius, in which Draco testified against his father. Now that he was accused of being a Death Eater and brainwashing his own son, it was impossible for the man to ever get out on parole. Now let me tell you about our favorite little couple's sex life. Yes, we all knew it was coming. After their last day in seventh year they went to a romantic hotel in London, where they apperated to instead of going home on the train. Considering it was both of their times, dang they were both good at it.
They didn't have sex very often. They were busy with The Order and baby sitting Charlie's children a lot, fore he and his wife were usually the most busy of them all, besides maybe Harry. They didn't really mind, they loved each other so much that they didn't need it. However, when they did get down to it, the wait made it all that much better. Draco and Hermione spent a lot of time together, fore they were still best friends. They got along so well, and he helped her with her studies better than any of their other friends could. Professor McGonagall, who was now Miverna to him, stopped by as often as she could to have tea with the blonde. They had also become close over the years. She was like a mother to him, and he was grateful for it. Lupin surprised everyone during the summer after seventh year. He announced that he and Severus Snape had been dating for two months at that time. As shocked as everyone was, they were happy that their friend had finally found someone. Snape still treated the rest the same, but Ron and Draco caught him being mushy towards Remus a few times, and they would never let him live it down.
Remus was still in love with Sirius, that would never change. Of course this pissed Severus off. However, he learned to cope with his love's loss and helped him through life. It was a little sickening to Harry when he once walked in on the two snogging. He wouldn't go near Remus for a week, in fear of throwing up on him. It was the afternoon of Christmas eve. Ron and Draco were getting ready to go to the Burrow for dinner, where they would sleep and open presents with everyone in the morning. "Are you almost ready, Sweetie?" Ron asked, walking into their bed room. Draco fixed the collar of his sweater and walked over to his redheaded boyfriend. "Ready!" he smiled and kissed Ron. They took each other's hands and walked out of the front door. After putting a few locking charms on the house they apperated to the Burrow. They knocked on the door and were greeted by a very tired looking Mrs. Weasley. "Ronald!" he kissed Ron's cheeks too many times for his liking. "Draco!" he did the same to the blonde. "It's so good to see you two again!" he hurried them in the doors and out of the cold. "Mum, it's only been a week!" Ron mumbled and grabbed for a cookie that was resting on the counter. His mother slapped his hand.
"Not until after dinner! You're as bad as the children!" she scolded and hurried them out of her kitchen. They were greeted by a mess of red as all of the children swarmed to their legs. Ron and Draco were all of their favorite uncles; even if Draco wasn't technically related...yet.
They hugged each of the children one by one. Ron spun little Ron around in the air, he always favored the boy. Draco had a bolt of electricity sent through him as he hugged one of the triplets; he wasn't sure which one it was or who the child belonged to. All of them laughed at his hair as it was sticking up in the air from the bolt. "You little brat!" he screamed and put a charm on his hair to make it lay flat again. "Hello." came the voice of Ron's new sister Marissa. She was only adopted a month ago, and he was very shy. She was still confused about a lot of things in the magical world. She loved it very much, don't get me wrong, but you all know how it was for Harry at first. What's worse, is that she can't even do magic. However, she has a ton of fun using the magical items. "Hey you." Ron said and knelled down before her. "Is something wrong?" she had such a sad look on her face. She gave him a hug and looked at him.
"It's just... none of the other kids will play with me. I'm older than them, and even Billy, who's just three years younger than me, doesn't want to play. They all say that I won't understand their games, because I'm just a Muggle. I'm not good enough for this family, Ron!" tears were forming in her eyes. Ron didn't know what to say. It was true that she probably wouldn't understand the games, but they could still teach her. She was good enough for any family! She was great, Ron loved her already. She was way mature for her age, and very smart. She got along get with Hermione. Draco kneeled down beside Ron and gave Marissa was hug. "Don't you think on it for one minute. You are a great kid! Why don't I go and teach you a few games, it'll be fun!" he said happily. Her face lit up and she smiled broadly. She hugged him and once he stood up she took his hand and dragged him off to her room to learn the games.
Ron smiled as Draco waved bye to him. Just then he heard the door open, and a cold breeze came in. "Harry! Hermione!" he heard his mother say merrily. Ron grinned and ran towards his best friend. "Harry, mate, how are you?!" he punched Harry's shoulder jokingly and hugged Hermione. "Well, I had a have a few bones regrown last week, but I'm tons better now." "Where's Draco?" Hermione asked.
"With Marissa... what you don't want to spend time with me?" he laughed. Hermione rolled her eyes and made her way to Marissa's room. Harry and Ron grabbed some butter beers and walked into the living room. They sat down on a practically ancient sofa and stared into the fire. "Hermione graduates this semester." Harry said out of the blue.
"That's a good thing. Why do you sound so sad?" Ron turned to his friend.
"I'm not ready to be a father." "Who said anything about being a father?" "She wants to start trying for a child now. I'm not read Ron. You've seen me around your nephews and niece, I get nervous. I don't know what to say to them. I've never been around little kids before! They do the craziest things. The infants cry too much. The toddlers are too sticky. The children are menaces!" Harry started breathing heavily. "Calm down, mate! You're thinking way too much into it. You remember when Ginny first got pregnant, how scared she was... she learned throughout the nine months that she was ready for it. You'll have time to prepare. I mean come on! If Neville can be a good father, you're going to be a great one!" Harry let out a small laugh and calmed down.
"Harry, do you know how lucky you are? You have a great wife and you're going to have a wonderful child. I always dreamed of having kids, wife your wife at that!" Ron laughed hysterically and then went back to talking, "Now I know that it's impossible, but I guess I don't mind. I love Draco, and that's what matters." "You could always adopt." Harry pondered aloud.
"It's just not the same. You know... like they wouldn't really be related." Just then Ron looked up and saw Marissa staring at him. She just looked shocked at first, but then tears began to fall and she ran out the back door, into the falling snow.
"Damn it!" Ron screamed at himself and ran off after her, spilling his drink on the floor. He followed her off into the snow covered garden. She sat under a tree, crying.
"Marissa, I'm so sorry." Ron squatted in front of her and lifted her head. "I wasn't thinking. I'm still coping with this. I'm not used to having another sister! Sometimes I forget..." "Great! So now you can't even remember me?!" she screamed and pushed him back into the snow. The tears came down quickly, staining her sweater. "That's not what I meant!" Ron said, standing up and wiping off his bum. "Now I'm all wet!" he turned around over and over, like a dog chasing it's tail, checking to see if it looked like he peed his pants. Marissa started laughing at him. "At least you've stopped crying." he said and squatted in front of her again. "I'm so sorry, sis. You know I love you. It's just... what I meant was that I always dreamed of having my own child. I wanted it to look just like me and act just like me. You understand that I'm gay, right? You're old enough to get that." "Yes." she said with a smile. "You and Draco are oh so cute." "Thank you." Ron blushed and then continued, "I suppose adopting wouldn't be so bad though, not if I got a great kid like you." he gathered her into a hug. "Now let's get inside, he's freezing out here. Mum would kill me if she knew I let you stay out this long without a cloak!" She pushed him back into the snow and with a laugh she ran back into the house.
"That brat..." Ron mumbled and walked slowly back into the living room. Draco was sitting on the sofa next to a cuddled Harry and Hermione. Marissa was sitting on Draco's lap, an arm wrapped around his neck. "Nice ass." Draco laughed as Ron sat down on the floor in front of him. "All thanks to me!" Marissa giggled. Draco wrapped an arm around Marissa's waist and gave her a hug. With his other hand he played with Ron's locks of hair. "Isn't this a pretty sight." Charlie laughed as he walked into the room and saw Ron laying sideways, he bum facing the fire. "Hello Charles." Ron said, knowing that he hated to be called that. Charlie's smile fell and kicked Ron in the side, gently. "I'm so abused!" Ron yelled and glared at his brother and sister. Marissa giggled and jumped at Charlie. "And I'm so unloved, she ditched me for Charlie!" Draco pouted. Ron crawled onto Draco's lap and kissed his cheek. "I still love you." he said and cuddled into the blonde's chest.
"Yeah, but you're all wet!" "Well, so was she! She just did it voluntarily!" "She dries off a lot faster than you do!" Draco teased and kissed Ron's lips. "You people are all so mean to me! I think I'm going to disown this family. I'll go and live as a Muggle. I'll move to a different country. You'll never get to pick on me again!" he whined. "Oh shush up." Draco said and kissed Ron's head before sliding out from under him and walking into the kitchen. He came back with a plate of cookies.
"Hey, how'd you get those? See, even my mum favors him over me!" Ron complained and grabbed a hand full of cookies. He was starving. "No, I snuck them in here, so hurry up and eat them quickly before she comes and takes them away." he passed the plate around and they all ate and talked happily. "Ronald Weasley! What did I tell you about eating cookies before dinner!" Molly screamed, running into the room.
"But Mum, it wasn't me!" he said with a stuffed mouth.
"Like I'd believe that for one second!" he took the plate and hit him over the head.
"See, I told you! I'm abused and hated!" he robbed his head and frowned. "I don't abuse you, and I most definitely don't hate you!" Draco said, kissed Ron again.
"Ewwww!!!" came the screams of little Fred, David, and Chuck. "It's not 'ew'!" little Ron said. "They happen to love each other!" although he was only six, he understood perfectly well about Ron and Draco. Ron smiled and walked over to little Ron. "Thank you." he whispered and hugged him. "You three," he said looking at the others. "Why don't you go help Grandpa set up the tree upstairs?" he said firmly, scaring them a little. They ran off up the stairs. Little Ron went and sat on the floor with Marissa. They started playing a Muggle card game, Go Fish.
"Maybe we shouldn't kiss when the kids are around." Draco laughed and pulled Ron onto his lap. "Then maybe we shouldn't go around family very often, I couldn't stand not kissing you!" Ron said. Marissa looked up at him, very sad.
"Please don't stop coming around!" she pleaded. "I don't think I could survive without you two!" "I was only joking. Besides, you're fine with it. I'd never stop visiting you!" Ron walked over to her and kissed her head. "I'm going to help dad decorate the tree. Anyone want to come?" he looked out over the group. Charlie, Harry, Hermione, and Marissa all stood up. "I'll race you!" Charlie said and they all began running. "What about you?" Ron asked Draco. "I'm not much into decorating. It's a house elves job!" he said.
"Don't say that in front of the child. It's not true! If you don't want to help...fine, but don't go all Malfoy on me!" Ron said and picked little Ron up and carried him towards the stairs. "I -am- a Malfoy! I can't help it. Ron... fine! I'll come!" he got up and stomped over to the stairs. "Good doggie." Ron whispered and kissed Draco's cheek. He then carried little Ron upstairs and Draco followed him. The tree was in the twins old room. It was almost as tall was the ones at Hogwarts, and certainly as wide. All the children were fighting over where and how to decorate. Ron laughed and placed little Ron on the floor. He turned to Draco and smiled. They always loved Christmas, but this was the first time since they've been together that it was held anywhere but the headquarters. Ginny walked in holding her two infants. "Can I get home help here!?" she screamed over the loud crowd. Draco smiled and took Drake from her. He loved babies, especially if they were named after him. Ron smiled over at Draco, he knew that in case they ever were to adopt a child, he would make a great father. "Ron, would you mind?" Ginny asked, handing Katie off to Ron. She shook her arms and sighed. "It feels so good to finally let go of them!" she said and sat down tiredly in a chair next to the couple. Ron looked down at his niece and smiled. She looked just like Ginny did when she was a baby. A few hours later the whole family sat down together outside. There was a magical shield protecting them all from the snow and cold winds of winter. "Happy Christmas!" Bill said and raised his glass of wine.
"Happy Christmas!" everyone chimed in and raised their glasses as well. "So, Neville, how's it going?" Ron asked with a mouth full of cranberry sauce. "Ron, you pig!" Draco said and slapped Ron in the back, making him swallow his food.
"It's been great. Of course it's difficult having the twins and the other children to deal with, but Ginny does a great job with them during the day, then when I come home form The Order I watch them until we all settle down. It's like heaven once they fall asleep." he sighed happily. "Plan on popping anymore out sometime soon?" Ron asked Ginny. She kicked him under the table. Draco smacked him again, but this time in the head. "What... I want to know." "We do still plan on having more children, but we're going to wait awhile, at least until the twins are a few years older." Ginny said smugly and kicked Ron again when he laughed. "Daddy, is there going to be ice cream when we're done eating?" Seamus asked, a look of longing in his eyes. "Finish your turkey, then maybe you can have some." Neville answered, pushing more turkey onto the child's plate. "Make sure you eat some vegetables too." "Spoken like a true father." Draco said, a hand over his heart.
"Very funny..." Neville said, glaring at the blonde. "Babe, pass the peas." Neville said to Ginny. She did so with a smile and kissed him. "Oh please, not in front of us." Ron teased.
"I'm sure it's a lot more civilized than if you two were to kiss at the Christmas table." she spat back.
"This coming from the girl who used to drool over watching us." Draco laughed.
"I've grown up, and so should you two. I don't mean to sound prude, but the children don't need to be subjected to such things." she helped Christian pure some juice and then said, "Mum worried about what you might be planting in their heads." "Frankly, I think that the children should be subjected to it at a young age," Charlie piped up from next to Ron. "that way they'll be used to it and we won't have to try to explain it from them when they are older." he smiled at little Ron who clapped for his father.
"Charlie, you're not thinking right. They could start to act like this two." Ginny said.
"Act like us?!" Draco felt his Malfoy rage building up. "Ginny, do you get us at all? It's a way that we feel inside! We didn't choose this! We love each other, because it was meant to be! The children will do whatever they are meant to when they grow up. What ever Ron and I happen to do, will not affect them enough to change the person they are inside." he tried not to scream as he said it.
"Can we drop this?" Neville said, looking around. "Let's not ruin Christmas." "He's right. We'll talk to her about this another time, Sweetie." Ron said, and held Draco's hand under the table. That night Ron and Draco were sitting on the couch, wrapped in a blanket. Harry and Hermione were in the same position next to them. Molly came in and gave them all hot cocoa. The children were sitting around on the floor, playing various games. Ashli came in and pulled something small out of her robe pocket. She did an enlarging spell to reveal a piano, which she levitated to a clear spot on the floor. She smiled and sat down on it's bench, where she started to play a few Christmas carols. Bill joined her in singing and placed a kiss on her cheek. The children, who loved singing, all joined in with they girlish voices. Ron smiled over at Draco and snuggled closer to him. Ginny came and kneeled down in front of them. "Ron... Happy Christmas." she said apologetically. Ron smiled and bent down to give her a hug. "I was so wrong." she said shaking her head in disbelief that he had ever said it. Ron looked up from the hug to see Neville smiling down at him. It was obvious he had talked to his wife. Ron smiled back, grateful that at least someone was on their side; besides Charlie. Ron pulled away from the hug and looked over at Charlie who was singing with the kids; he always just seemed a little crazy. "Uncle Ron?" a small voice came. Ron looked down and saw the tiny Joshua looking up at him. "Harry Christmas." Ron said and pulled the child into his lap. Ginny smiled at her son and kissed him on the cheek before standing up and walking over to join the carolers. "Is mommy still mad at you?" Joshua asked, shyly.
"No, no. Mommy wasn't mad at me. We just had a disagreement. It's all fine now. Mommy loves me and I love her, a little fight isn't going to change that." Ron hugged him and smiled at his own words. He did love his sister very much, and he can't believe he was worried earlier about loosing their friendship. "Uncle Draco?" the child asked.
"Huh?! Oh... yes?" Draco seemed to snap out of a daydream. "Was Mommy mad at you?" "No. Why do you worry so much? It's Christmas! Be merry!" Draco smiled and pulled Joshua from Ron and sat him on his own lap. "See! You steal all of them!" Ron whined and started talking to Harry, pretending to ignore Draco.
An hour later all of the children were being sent off to bed. "Aren't you going to go to sleep?" Ron asked Marissa, who was sitting around looking into the fire. "I'm not tired." she said, and turned to Ron.
"Well Father Christmas won't come if you're awake." "As if I believe in that. Come on Ron, I was raised in an orphanage, I know better than to believe in such happy things." she sighed. "Yes, but you didn't believe in magic either did you? If magic is real, so is he." She got a bright look in her eyes and smiled widely. She hugged and kissed Ron goodnight before dashing up the stairs at full speed.
"That was very sweet of you." Molly sad, walking into the room and falling into a chair, finally able to relax now that the cookie stealing children were asleep.
"Thanks." Ron blushed and curled into Draco again.
"She really loves you, Ron. She can somehow relate to you. Do you think that maybe... she could stay with you sometime? You know... for a few days or something. She barely leaves the house. She doesn't have many friends at her school, she's still new to it. There's not much fun for her here. At least when all of you kids were living here you had each other. She's lonely, Ron. Even when I'm babysitting the others...well they are just too young for her. She's just so mature and smart and I would really appreciate it-" "Mum, stop rambling! We'd be more than happy to have her any time she wants to come." Ron said and gave a 'Right?!" look to Draco, who smiled and nodded. "Oh thank you so much, boys." Mrs. Weasley said and then kissed everyone goodnight before going to bed. Since all of the children were occupying the bedrooms, all of the adults, besides Molly and Arthur, spread out across the floor. Harry and Hermione, and Draco and Ron merely fell asleep cuddled together as they were.
Very, very early the next morning all of the kids came running downstairs. It was obvious that the first one up awoke all the others.
"It's Christmas! It's Christmas!!!!" they came screaming.
"No duh! Go back to sleep!!!!" Draco screamed even louder, he wasn't a morning person.
It was too late though, most of the adults were already up. They couldn't go back to sleep after all of the yelling. Ron couldn't get Draco to budge, so he ended up carrying the blonde upstairs. "Put me down!" Draco demanded once he saw all of the presents, a slight glimpse of greed came over his eyes. "Once a Malfoy... always a Malfoy." Ron sighed and rolled his eyes.
After opening all of their gifts, Draco leaned over and whispered into Ron's ear. "I still have one more present for you." "Oh really, what?" Ron asked with raised eyebrows.
"Let's just say it'll be something steamy...but you have to wait for the knew year to get it." he licked Ron's ear.
"You tease." "Stop you two, before you start to shag right on the spot!" Hermione hissed at them, and they laughed. Ginny certainly wouldn't like that. Twenty minutes later the huge family was out under their magical shield again, eating breakfast. "Marissa, you've still got a week off of school don't you?" Ron asked, looking across the table at his new sister.
"A little over one, yes." she said, wondering why he'd be asking. "Do you think- you don't have to feel pressure- but would you like to come stay with Draco and I until you have to go back to class?" you'd think he was offering her a trip to Disney World, her eyes went as wide as her grin and she nearly crawled on top of the table to hug him.
"I would love that!" she squealed.
Draco and Ron cast smiles at Molly, she was very proud of them. "Happy Christmas, everyone!" Ron toasted.
"HAPPY CHRISTMAS!" everyone screamed back.
!$!$! Well... I promised you a long chapter for the first one, so I hope it was long enough! I hope most of the questions and statements at the end of the last story were answered in the beginning, if not...they will be answered in due time. It actually took me two days to write this, but that's because I have to go to my consort and then my friend came over. I'll start working on the next chapter either tonight or tomorrow. Please review...oh and P.S. I have a questions... should this be rated PG-13 or R? Review!$!$!
Let's start with the Weasleys.
Bill married a rocker witch from America, Ashli. Together they started a band, which was getting pretty popular. They hoped to soon get a contract to make it big in the wizarding world. They had a seven year old son, Billy, who was already learning to play guitar. Charlie was the only one in the family not to marry a magical girl. His wife, Mary, lived down the street from the order. He met her on a walk and they almost instantly fell in love. She laughed at him when he told her that he was a wizard. Of course she would think it was a joke. Then he showed her some pretty extreme magic, and she passed out for two days. They have two sons, Chuck and Ron; named for his youngest and most favorite brother, of course.
Percy, who was still a little shaky with the family, married his old girlfriend; Penelope Clearwater. They currently had three children. There was David, Michael, and Robert. David was three, Michael was two years of age, and Robert was still just three months old. The twins had the most interesting situation. They both married redheads. Those two girls where best friends, who kind of looked alike. Both couples birthed triplets. To Fred was born George, Chandler, and Thomas. To George was born Fred, Matthew, and Shawn. The two sets were born only a few days apart. Fred's children are the oldest. They were all currently five years old, and looked almost exactly like. Of course their fathers were teaching them everything they knew. Then there was Ginny. Even though she was the youngest, she had the most children. Who could blame her? She had the hottest spouse. Neville Longbottom. Now listen, he's grown up a lot. He was taller than even Ron, with an extreme amount of muscles. His face lined out and defined its felt. He was definitely a hottie, and Ginny could barely keep her hands off of him. Although he was so strong, he was still a big coward. His Gran died just a few months ago. He was torn up over it, but Ginny was relieved, she hated the woman. Their oldest child was six years old. They called him Junior, so they didn't get both Neville's confused. Their next was born eleven months later. He was named after their best friend, Seamus. Then just eleven months after that, Christian was born. Can you guess what happened next? Yeah, eleven months later, Joshua came into the world. Then they broke the pattern after that. Their next came in a set, more than two years later. Twins; a boy and a girl. They wanted to name the next boy after Harry. But could you imagine that? Harry Longbottom! That just sounds wrong. So they named the boy, who was the oldest of the twins, Drake, after Draco. The girl was named Katie. Now, for the real surprise. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had another child...well, kind of. Don't worry, Mrs. Weasley didn't get pregnant. Mr. Weasley, being as obsessed as he was with Muggles, convinced Molly to adopt a child from a Muggle orphanage. She agreed, only if it could be a girl. And so they adopted a ten year old girl, Marissa, who was also a redhead. Harry and Hermione have been wed for two years, but still had no children. They, unlike the Weasleys, knew how to use protection. However, they planned on having children, after Hermione was done her studies; which would be soon. She was going to be a Charms teacher. Once she started her career, they would start trying to have a child, but they didn't want many. Most of them didn't have good professions. Harry and Draco had so much money, that they support their lovers. Fred and George made tons of money from their business, but they didn't have to work very hard. Bill and Charlie both quit their old jobs in order to move closer to everyone, and they didn't get paid much, however it didn't matter; as long as they helped out with The Order, they were happy. Neville inherited enough money to get him along for the time being. As much as Ron hated being supported by Draco, he loved him and he knew in order for them to help out around The Order, he couldn't get his own job. Percy was still working for the ministry, which was now run by Dumbledore, he wasn't too happy about that. His wife also works in the same department as him. I think I've told you enough about the present so far... let's go back a little. After sixth year, Draco went to visit his parents in Azkaban. Ron was scared out of his mind, but he went with his boyfriend, because he loved him so much. His mother had gone completely insane. She hadn't recognized him. He kissed her cheek and she slapped him. Draco broke down into tears. He still loved his mother. His father was a different story.
His father was still completely sane. He swore that he would kill Draco for disgracing his family so much. He had found out from some source that his boy was in Gryffindor, but he never knew Draco was gay. Of course, when he found out, he went ballistic. Draco and Ron walked away with grins on their faces after making out right in front of Lucius, disturbing the man for life. Months after their visit, Draco's mother died. All of the Weasleys and all of Draco's new friends attended the funeral, because he did still love his mother. She was never supposed to be a Death Eater. She was always the sweet one... she didn't even know Draco was being brainwashed. Speaking of which, there was another trial for Lucius, in which Draco testified against his father. Now that he was accused of being a Death Eater and brainwashing his own son, it was impossible for the man to ever get out on parole. Now let me tell you about our favorite little couple's sex life. Yes, we all knew it was coming. After their last day in seventh year they went to a romantic hotel in London, where they apperated to instead of going home on the train. Considering it was both of their times, dang they were both good at it.
They didn't have sex very often. They were busy with The Order and baby sitting Charlie's children a lot, fore he and his wife were usually the most busy of them all, besides maybe Harry. They didn't really mind, they loved each other so much that they didn't need it. However, when they did get down to it, the wait made it all that much better. Draco and Hermione spent a lot of time together, fore they were still best friends. They got along so well, and he helped her with her studies better than any of their other friends could. Professor McGonagall, who was now Miverna to him, stopped by as often as she could to have tea with the blonde. They had also become close over the years. She was like a mother to him, and he was grateful for it. Lupin surprised everyone during the summer after seventh year. He announced that he and Severus Snape had been dating for two months at that time. As shocked as everyone was, they were happy that their friend had finally found someone. Snape still treated the rest the same, but Ron and Draco caught him being mushy towards Remus a few times, and they would never let him live it down.
Remus was still in love with Sirius, that would never change. Of course this pissed Severus off. However, he learned to cope with his love's loss and helped him through life. It was a little sickening to Harry when he once walked in on the two snogging. He wouldn't go near Remus for a week, in fear of throwing up on him. It was the afternoon of Christmas eve. Ron and Draco were getting ready to go to the Burrow for dinner, where they would sleep and open presents with everyone in the morning. "Are you almost ready, Sweetie?" Ron asked, walking into their bed room. Draco fixed the collar of his sweater and walked over to his redheaded boyfriend. "Ready!" he smiled and kissed Ron. They took each other's hands and walked out of the front door. After putting a few locking charms on the house they apperated to the Burrow. They knocked on the door and were greeted by a very tired looking Mrs. Weasley. "Ronald!" he kissed Ron's cheeks too many times for his liking. "Draco!" he did the same to the blonde. "It's so good to see you two again!" he hurried them in the doors and out of the cold. "Mum, it's only been a week!" Ron mumbled and grabbed for a cookie that was resting on the counter. His mother slapped his hand.
"Not until after dinner! You're as bad as the children!" she scolded and hurried them out of her kitchen. They were greeted by a mess of red as all of the children swarmed to their legs. Ron and Draco were all of their favorite uncles; even if Draco wasn't technically related...yet.
They hugged each of the children one by one. Ron spun little Ron around in the air, he always favored the boy. Draco had a bolt of electricity sent through him as he hugged one of the triplets; he wasn't sure which one it was or who the child belonged to. All of them laughed at his hair as it was sticking up in the air from the bolt. "You little brat!" he screamed and put a charm on his hair to make it lay flat again. "Hello." came the voice of Ron's new sister Marissa. She was only adopted a month ago, and he was very shy. She was still confused about a lot of things in the magical world. She loved it very much, don't get me wrong, but you all know how it was for Harry at first. What's worse, is that she can't even do magic. However, she has a ton of fun using the magical items. "Hey you." Ron said and knelled down before her. "Is something wrong?" she had such a sad look on her face. She gave him a hug and looked at him.
"It's just... none of the other kids will play with me. I'm older than them, and even Billy, who's just three years younger than me, doesn't want to play. They all say that I won't understand their games, because I'm just a Muggle. I'm not good enough for this family, Ron!" tears were forming in her eyes. Ron didn't know what to say. It was true that she probably wouldn't understand the games, but they could still teach her. She was good enough for any family! She was great, Ron loved her already. She was way mature for her age, and very smart. She got along get with Hermione. Draco kneeled down beside Ron and gave Marissa was hug. "Don't you think on it for one minute. You are a great kid! Why don't I go and teach you a few games, it'll be fun!" he said happily. Her face lit up and she smiled broadly. She hugged him and once he stood up she took his hand and dragged him off to her room to learn the games.
Ron smiled as Draco waved bye to him. Just then he heard the door open, and a cold breeze came in. "Harry! Hermione!" he heard his mother say merrily. Ron grinned and ran towards his best friend. "Harry, mate, how are you?!" he punched Harry's shoulder jokingly and hugged Hermione. "Well, I had a have a few bones regrown last week, but I'm tons better now." "Where's Draco?" Hermione asked.
"With Marissa... what you don't want to spend time with me?" he laughed. Hermione rolled her eyes and made her way to Marissa's room. Harry and Ron grabbed some butter beers and walked into the living room. They sat down on a practically ancient sofa and stared into the fire. "Hermione graduates this semester." Harry said out of the blue.
"That's a good thing. Why do you sound so sad?" Ron turned to his friend.
"I'm not ready to be a father." "Who said anything about being a father?" "She wants to start trying for a child now. I'm not read Ron. You've seen me around your nephews and niece, I get nervous. I don't know what to say to them. I've never been around little kids before! They do the craziest things. The infants cry too much. The toddlers are too sticky. The children are menaces!" Harry started breathing heavily. "Calm down, mate! You're thinking way too much into it. You remember when Ginny first got pregnant, how scared she was... she learned throughout the nine months that she was ready for it. You'll have time to prepare. I mean come on! If Neville can be a good father, you're going to be a great one!" Harry let out a small laugh and calmed down.
"Harry, do you know how lucky you are? You have a great wife and you're going to have a wonderful child. I always dreamed of having kids, wife your wife at that!" Ron laughed hysterically and then went back to talking, "Now I know that it's impossible, but I guess I don't mind. I love Draco, and that's what matters." "You could always adopt." Harry pondered aloud.
"It's just not the same. You know... like they wouldn't really be related." Just then Ron looked up and saw Marissa staring at him. She just looked shocked at first, but then tears began to fall and she ran out the back door, into the falling snow.
"Damn it!" Ron screamed at himself and ran off after her, spilling his drink on the floor. He followed her off into the snow covered garden. She sat under a tree, crying.
"Marissa, I'm so sorry." Ron squatted in front of her and lifted her head. "I wasn't thinking. I'm still coping with this. I'm not used to having another sister! Sometimes I forget..." "Great! So now you can't even remember me?!" she screamed and pushed him back into the snow. The tears came down quickly, staining her sweater. "That's not what I meant!" Ron said, standing up and wiping off his bum. "Now I'm all wet!" he turned around over and over, like a dog chasing it's tail, checking to see if it looked like he peed his pants. Marissa started laughing at him. "At least you've stopped crying." he said and squatted in front of her again. "I'm so sorry, sis. You know I love you. It's just... what I meant was that I always dreamed of having my own child. I wanted it to look just like me and act just like me. You understand that I'm gay, right? You're old enough to get that." "Yes." she said with a smile. "You and Draco are oh so cute." "Thank you." Ron blushed and then continued, "I suppose adopting wouldn't be so bad though, not if I got a great kid like you." he gathered her into a hug. "Now let's get inside, he's freezing out here. Mum would kill me if she knew I let you stay out this long without a cloak!" She pushed him back into the snow and with a laugh she ran back into the house.
"That brat..." Ron mumbled and walked slowly back into the living room. Draco was sitting on the sofa next to a cuddled Harry and Hermione. Marissa was sitting on Draco's lap, an arm wrapped around his neck. "Nice ass." Draco laughed as Ron sat down on the floor in front of him. "All thanks to me!" Marissa giggled. Draco wrapped an arm around Marissa's waist and gave her a hug. With his other hand he played with Ron's locks of hair. "Isn't this a pretty sight." Charlie laughed as he walked into the room and saw Ron laying sideways, he bum facing the fire. "Hello Charles." Ron said, knowing that he hated to be called that. Charlie's smile fell and kicked Ron in the side, gently. "I'm so abused!" Ron yelled and glared at his brother and sister. Marissa giggled and jumped at Charlie. "And I'm so unloved, she ditched me for Charlie!" Draco pouted. Ron crawled onto Draco's lap and kissed his cheek. "I still love you." he said and cuddled into the blonde's chest.
"Yeah, but you're all wet!" "Well, so was she! She just did it voluntarily!" "She dries off a lot faster than you do!" Draco teased and kissed Ron's lips. "You people are all so mean to me! I think I'm going to disown this family. I'll go and live as a Muggle. I'll move to a different country. You'll never get to pick on me again!" he whined. "Oh shush up." Draco said and kissed Ron's head before sliding out from under him and walking into the kitchen. He came back with a plate of cookies.
"Hey, how'd you get those? See, even my mum favors him over me!" Ron complained and grabbed a hand full of cookies. He was starving. "No, I snuck them in here, so hurry up and eat them quickly before she comes and takes them away." he passed the plate around and they all ate and talked happily. "Ronald Weasley! What did I tell you about eating cookies before dinner!" Molly screamed, running into the room.
"But Mum, it wasn't me!" he said with a stuffed mouth.
"Like I'd believe that for one second!" he took the plate and hit him over the head.
"See, I told you! I'm abused and hated!" he robbed his head and frowned. "I don't abuse you, and I most definitely don't hate you!" Draco said, kissed Ron again.
"Ewwww!!!" came the screams of little Fred, David, and Chuck. "It's not 'ew'!" little Ron said. "They happen to love each other!" although he was only six, he understood perfectly well about Ron and Draco. Ron smiled and walked over to little Ron. "Thank you." he whispered and hugged him. "You three," he said looking at the others. "Why don't you go help Grandpa set up the tree upstairs?" he said firmly, scaring them a little. They ran off up the stairs. Little Ron went and sat on the floor with Marissa. They started playing a Muggle card game, Go Fish.
"Maybe we shouldn't kiss when the kids are around." Draco laughed and pulled Ron onto his lap. "Then maybe we shouldn't go around family very often, I couldn't stand not kissing you!" Ron said. Marissa looked up at him, very sad.
"Please don't stop coming around!" she pleaded. "I don't think I could survive without you two!" "I was only joking. Besides, you're fine with it. I'd never stop visiting you!" Ron walked over to her and kissed her head. "I'm going to help dad decorate the tree. Anyone want to come?" he looked out over the group. Charlie, Harry, Hermione, and Marissa all stood up. "I'll race you!" Charlie said and they all began running. "What about you?" Ron asked Draco. "I'm not much into decorating. It's a house elves job!" he said.
"Don't say that in front of the child. It's not true! If you don't want to help...fine, but don't go all Malfoy on me!" Ron said and picked little Ron up and carried him towards the stairs. "I -am- a Malfoy! I can't help it. Ron... fine! I'll come!" he got up and stomped over to the stairs. "Good doggie." Ron whispered and kissed Draco's cheek. He then carried little Ron upstairs and Draco followed him. The tree was in the twins old room. It was almost as tall was the ones at Hogwarts, and certainly as wide. All the children were fighting over where and how to decorate. Ron laughed and placed little Ron on the floor. He turned to Draco and smiled. They always loved Christmas, but this was the first time since they've been together that it was held anywhere but the headquarters. Ginny walked in holding her two infants. "Can I get home help here!?" she screamed over the loud crowd. Draco smiled and took Drake from her. He loved babies, especially if they were named after him. Ron smiled over at Draco, he knew that in case they ever were to adopt a child, he would make a great father. "Ron, would you mind?" Ginny asked, handing Katie off to Ron. She shook her arms and sighed. "It feels so good to finally let go of them!" she said and sat down tiredly in a chair next to the couple. Ron looked down at his niece and smiled. She looked just like Ginny did when she was a baby. A few hours later the whole family sat down together outside. There was a magical shield protecting them all from the snow and cold winds of winter. "Happy Christmas!" Bill said and raised his glass of wine.
"Happy Christmas!" everyone chimed in and raised their glasses as well. "So, Neville, how's it going?" Ron asked with a mouth full of cranberry sauce. "Ron, you pig!" Draco said and slapped Ron in the back, making him swallow his food.
"It's been great. Of course it's difficult having the twins and the other children to deal with, but Ginny does a great job with them during the day, then when I come home form The Order I watch them until we all settle down. It's like heaven once they fall asleep." he sighed happily. "Plan on popping anymore out sometime soon?" Ron asked Ginny. She kicked him under the table. Draco smacked him again, but this time in the head. "What... I want to know." "We do still plan on having more children, but we're going to wait awhile, at least until the twins are a few years older." Ginny said smugly and kicked Ron again when he laughed. "Daddy, is there going to be ice cream when we're done eating?" Seamus asked, a look of longing in his eyes. "Finish your turkey, then maybe you can have some." Neville answered, pushing more turkey onto the child's plate. "Make sure you eat some vegetables too." "Spoken like a true father." Draco said, a hand over his heart.
"Very funny..." Neville said, glaring at the blonde. "Babe, pass the peas." Neville said to Ginny. She did so with a smile and kissed him. "Oh please, not in front of us." Ron teased.
"I'm sure it's a lot more civilized than if you two were to kiss at the Christmas table." she spat back.
"This coming from the girl who used to drool over watching us." Draco laughed.
"I've grown up, and so should you two. I don't mean to sound prude, but the children don't need to be subjected to such things." she helped Christian pure some juice and then said, "Mum worried about what you might be planting in their heads." "Frankly, I think that the children should be subjected to it at a young age," Charlie piped up from next to Ron. "that way they'll be used to it and we won't have to try to explain it from them when they are older." he smiled at little Ron who clapped for his father.
"Charlie, you're not thinking right. They could start to act like this two." Ginny said.
"Act like us?!" Draco felt his Malfoy rage building up. "Ginny, do you get us at all? It's a way that we feel inside! We didn't choose this! We love each other, because it was meant to be! The children will do whatever they are meant to when they grow up. What ever Ron and I happen to do, will not affect them enough to change the person they are inside." he tried not to scream as he said it.
"Can we drop this?" Neville said, looking around. "Let's not ruin Christmas." "He's right. We'll talk to her about this another time, Sweetie." Ron said, and held Draco's hand under the table. That night Ron and Draco were sitting on the couch, wrapped in a blanket. Harry and Hermione were in the same position next to them. Molly came in and gave them all hot cocoa. The children were sitting around on the floor, playing various games. Ashli came in and pulled something small out of her robe pocket. She did an enlarging spell to reveal a piano, which she levitated to a clear spot on the floor. She smiled and sat down on it's bench, where she started to play a few Christmas carols. Bill joined her in singing and placed a kiss on her cheek. The children, who loved singing, all joined in with they girlish voices. Ron smiled over at Draco and snuggled closer to him. Ginny came and kneeled down in front of them. "Ron... Happy Christmas." she said apologetically. Ron smiled and bent down to give her a hug. "I was so wrong." she said shaking her head in disbelief that he had ever said it. Ron looked up from the hug to see Neville smiling down at him. It was obvious he had talked to his wife. Ron smiled back, grateful that at least someone was on their side; besides Charlie. Ron pulled away from the hug and looked over at Charlie who was singing with the kids; he always just seemed a little crazy. "Uncle Ron?" a small voice came. Ron looked down and saw the tiny Joshua looking up at him. "Harry Christmas." Ron said and pulled the child into his lap. Ginny smiled at her son and kissed him on the cheek before standing up and walking over to join the carolers. "Is mommy still mad at you?" Joshua asked, shyly.
"No, no. Mommy wasn't mad at me. We just had a disagreement. It's all fine now. Mommy loves me and I love her, a little fight isn't going to change that." Ron hugged him and smiled at his own words. He did love his sister very much, and he can't believe he was worried earlier about loosing their friendship. "Uncle Draco?" the child asked.
"Huh?! Oh... yes?" Draco seemed to snap out of a daydream. "Was Mommy mad at you?" "No. Why do you worry so much? It's Christmas! Be merry!" Draco smiled and pulled Joshua from Ron and sat him on his own lap. "See! You steal all of them!" Ron whined and started talking to Harry, pretending to ignore Draco.
An hour later all of the children were being sent off to bed. "Aren't you going to go to sleep?" Ron asked Marissa, who was sitting around looking into the fire. "I'm not tired." she said, and turned to Ron.
"Well Father Christmas won't come if you're awake." "As if I believe in that. Come on Ron, I was raised in an orphanage, I know better than to believe in such happy things." she sighed. "Yes, but you didn't believe in magic either did you? If magic is real, so is he." She got a bright look in her eyes and smiled widely. She hugged and kissed Ron goodnight before dashing up the stairs at full speed.
"That was very sweet of you." Molly sad, walking into the room and falling into a chair, finally able to relax now that the cookie stealing children were asleep.
"Thanks." Ron blushed and curled into Draco again.
"She really loves you, Ron. She can somehow relate to you. Do you think that maybe... she could stay with you sometime? You know... for a few days or something. She barely leaves the house. She doesn't have many friends at her school, she's still new to it. There's not much fun for her here. At least when all of you kids were living here you had each other. She's lonely, Ron. Even when I'm babysitting the others...well they are just too young for her. She's just so mature and smart and I would really appreciate it-" "Mum, stop rambling! We'd be more than happy to have her any time she wants to come." Ron said and gave a 'Right?!" look to Draco, who smiled and nodded. "Oh thank you so much, boys." Mrs. Weasley said and then kissed everyone goodnight before going to bed. Since all of the children were occupying the bedrooms, all of the adults, besides Molly and Arthur, spread out across the floor. Harry and Hermione, and Draco and Ron merely fell asleep cuddled together as they were.
Very, very early the next morning all of the kids came running downstairs. It was obvious that the first one up awoke all the others.
"It's Christmas! It's Christmas!!!!" they came screaming.
"No duh! Go back to sleep!!!!" Draco screamed even louder, he wasn't a morning person.
It was too late though, most of the adults were already up. They couldn't go back to sleep after all of the yelling. Ron couldn't get Draco to budge, so he ended up carrying the blonde upstairs. "Put me down!" Draco demanded once he saw all of the presents, a slight glimpse of greed came over his eyes. "Once a Malfoy... always a Malfoy." Ron sighed and rolled his eyes.
After opening all of their gifts, Draco leaned over and whispered into Ron's ear. "I still have one more present for you." "Oh really, what?" Ron asked with raised eyebrows.
"Let's just say it'll be something steamy...but you have to wait for the knew year to get it." he licked Ron's ear.
"You tease." "Stop you two, before you start to shag right on the spot!" Hermione hissed at them, and they laughed. Ginny certainly wouldn't like that. Twenty minutes later the huge family was out under their magical shield again, eating breakfast. "Marissa, you've still got a week off of school don't you?" Ron asked, looking across the table at his new sister.
"A little over one, yes." she said, wondering why he'd be asking. "Do you think- you don't have to feel pressure- but would you like to come stay with Draco and I until you have to go back to class?" you'd think he was offering her a trip to Disney World, her eyes went as wide as her grin and she nearly crawled on top of the table to hug him.
"I would love that!" she squealed.
Draco and Ron cast smiles at Molly, she was very proud of them. "Happy Christmas, everyone!" Ron toasted.
"HAPPY CHRISTMAS!" everyone screamed back.
