This story is set in the sixth year of Hogwarts,
Pairings:- H/R H/G S/G
It was Christmas time at Hogwarts, and as usual Harry and his friends stayed behind. This year was different though as the headmaster decided to throw a masked ball. With that arranged most of the students stayed at Hogwarts for Christmas including the infamous Draco Malfoy.
It was 6 o' clock when Ron came bounding over to Harry and shaking him roughly while shouting his name over and over. Ron was always over excited at Christmas and did the same every year since they had been there. This was their sixth year and it was getting a bit annoying, and right now if Harry didn't get up, Ron would soon be bouncing on the bed.
"alright Ron, I'm getting up, you can stop now", Harry then threw off his covers and jumped down off the bed.
" really Ron you didn't have to yell down my ear you know"
"I'm sorry mate but it's Christmas and I LOVE CHRISTMAS"
"don't I know it" mumbled Harry.
Harry quickly threw on his clothes and went down to join Ron down in the common room. When he reached the common room he found Ron and Hermione by the fire surrounded by piles of presents.
"Merry Christmas Harry" Hermione called out "there's a pile for you too over there".
Harry sat down next to Hermione and started to tear into his presents,
"so has either of you got a date for the masked ball yet?" Harry questioned still unwrapping his presents.
"naw mate, I can't seem to find anyone I'd like to go with that won't actually say no"
"yes I know the feeling Ron, no-body seemed to ask me out either, well except Neville but after last year I'd rather go on my own" Hermione mumbled.
"well never mind we could always go together"
"Harry I don't know whether we should go together, after all we're not supposed to know each other the masks until midnight tonight"
"Oh mione….." both Harry and Ron whined.
After they had finished opening their presents, they gathered them together and put the m in their rooms before they headed down to breakfast. When they has stepped into the Great Hall they found it decorated with all the house colours, tinsel, candles and Christmas tree in the corners. They all sat down in their regular spots and dished out their serving of waffles, pancakes, bacon, sausage, egg and muffins. Glancing round the Great Hall Harry's eyes landed on Professor Snape who for some reason has a smile on his upon his face, but as soon as Harry had seen it, the smile had disappeared. The Trio had finished their breakfast and went back up to Griffindor common room to collect their cloaks for day of throwing snowball and playing in the snow.
