A/N: I am trying to keep up with writing my fic. I mostly write on the weekends (mainly cause I got nothing better to do…lol). Since it's Christmas and all, I've been a bit busy, but here's what I've got so far and it's kinda short. Here's my next chapter.

It was Christmas Eve. Victor was snoring loudly and Max had shaken him to get him to stop snoring. Victor stopped snoring, but cuddled in closer to Max, not waking up. Max decided to not even bother to try and get Victor to let go and just sank back down into the blankets. They cuddled together and just as Max was falling back asleep, Hermione sung out for them to all wake up. Max shook Victor awake.

"Huh?" Victor muttered, his eyes still closed. Max kissed the tip of his nose.

"Mum just called for us to get up."

"Oh, ok," Victor said, crawling out of bed. Max got up and stretched. Victor went over to his trunk and took out a pair of jeans a slipped them on. He grabbed a t-shirt and shoved it over his head. Max just hauled a pair of shorts on over his boxers.

They both walked out to the kitchen. Hermione was sitting down pouring up coffee. Draco was sitting next to her. He was taking a piece of toast and putting it on his plate.

"How come we had to get up? It's only 7." Max asked.

"Because Ron, Pansy and Ryan are coming over today and I need you guys to clean your rooms because they are spending the night so that they can celebrate Christmas with us tomorrow," Hermione said.

"Oh," Max said, neither disappointed nor excited. They spent most of the day cleaning up. Michelle and Chris had stayed in her room most of the day. Hermione just assumed that they were cleaning. The rest of the day was spent making cookies. Max and Victor were the only ones to help Hermione make cookies. When the final batch of cookies were made, Max and Victor went outside for a walk.

Around 8, Ron, Pansy and Ryan arrived at Hermione's. Draco went outside to help Ron bring in the boxes containing the Christmas presents. Since they were spending the night, they had to bring over their Christmas presents to open up the next morning. Once all the boxes (and other luggage) was inside, they all sat around the tree and drank eggnog and other festive stuff (like singing carols etc…). Around 11, Max, Victor, Michelle and Chris went to their rooms and brought out any gifts that they had in their rooms. They placed them under the tree.'

Around 12, Hermione drove them all to bed so that she could put the other gifts under the tree. When Max and Victor went to Max's room, Ryan followed them. Max got undressed and crawled into his bed, Victor following suit and doing the same thing.

"You're mum doesn't mind you two staying in the same bed?" Ryan asked, feeling a little weird about it. He had known that Max was gay, but this was new to him.

"She doesn't know. Please don't tell her Ryan. She might freak out if she found out. Besides, we aren't doing anything. And even if we were, we wouldn't do anything with you in the room," Max said, laughing slightly. Ryan shrugged his shoulders and crawled under the blankets that were on the floor. It didn't take any other the teenagers long to fall to sleep that night.

When Hermione thought that everyone was asleep, she, Draco, Ron and Pansy brought out the Christmas gifts and laid them under the tree. Since there was 9 of them, there was a lot of gifts under the tree. When they were done, they sat on the couch around the fire. Hermione was cuddled into Draco and Draco had his arms wrapped around her.

"That's a lot of gifts," Ron stated.

"I know. I can remember when I was growing up," Draco started. "Waking up Christmas morning and seeing all the presents under the tree. You gotta love kids."

"Next year there'll be one more," Hermione said. Draco looked at Hermione and smiled. He leaned down and kissed her passionately.

"Congratulations guys," Ron and Pansy said in unison.

"What are you hoping for? A boy or a girl?" Pansy asked.

"Well, I want a boy," Hermione said. "But I know Draco wants a girl."

"Actually, it doesn't matter to me," Draco said. "As long as it's mine this time." He laughed.

"Trust me, it's yours," Hermione said, snuggling closer to Draco's chest.

"So, how far along are you anyways?" Ron asked.

"About a month and a half," Hermione said. After talking for a little while longer, they went to bed as well.

Early the next morning, Max, Victor and Ryan woke up. It was around 5 and no one else in the house was awake. Max snuck into Michelle's room and tiptoed over to her bed, put his mouth near her ear and shouted, "Wake up it's Christmas!"

"Max, don't be such a kid, go away," Michelle groaned, throwing a book at Max and turning over, away from him.

"You ruin the fun," said Max, walking out.

Hermione, who had heard the book hit the floor, was waking out of her room when Max walked out of Michelle's.

"Morning mum, Happy Christmas!" Max said, sounding like a little kid.

"Morning sweetie," Hermione replied, walking to the kitchen and immediately turning on the coffee pot. Ryan and Victor were sitting by the tree, waiting to be able to open their presents. Ryan picked up a box with his name on it and shook it.

"Ry, I think you should wait until your mum and dad get up before you open any of your gifts. I'm sure they would want to see you open them."

"Alright," Ryan said, getting up and sitting on the couch, hoping his parents would soon wake up.

"Mum, can we open ours now?" Max asked Hermione anxiously.

"Wait for your sister and Draco to get up," Hermione answered, continuing to make breakfast. Michelle walked out of her room a few minutes later, followed by Chris. Michelle went over to help her mum make breakfast, not getting excited about the gifts under the tree like the guys.

"Merry Christmas Mum," Michelle said, kissing her mum on the cheek.

"Merry Christmas Michelle," Hermione replied. Once breakfast was done and on the table, Hermione called for everyone else in the house to wake up. Draco was the first to come out wearing his boxers and hauling a t-shirt over his head. Ron and Pansy came out a few minutes later. The guys, with the exception of Chris, started after the presents. Before they even got a chance to open one, Hermione said to them.

"Guys, come and have some breakfast first. They're still gonna be there when you are done."

The guys sighed and got up. They quickly put some bacon and toast on their plates and ate it as fast as they could. When they were done, Max looked at his mum.

"Fine Max, go ahead," Hermione said. She, like Draco, Ron and Pansy, was not finished drinking her coffee yet. She took her coffee and went over to the couch to watch them open their Christmas gifts.

Max had gotta a digital camera, some CD's, new clothes (don't we all) and just the other normal stuff. Michelle had gotten the same.

"Here Max, this is from me," Michelle said, passing Max a gift. Max opened it and inside there was a punk bracelet and another CD.

"Thanks Michelle, this is from me," Max said, passing Michelle her gift. She opened it and it was a perfume set and a hemp bracelet. Michelle smiled.

"Thanks Max."

"Glad you like it," Max replied, then handing Victor his gift. Victor opened it to find a beautiful silver chain.

"Wow Max, thank you. It's beautiful," Victor said, hugging Max and kissing him briefly on the lips before handing Max his gift. Max tore off the wrapping paper as if he was a little child. When he opened Victor's gift, Max's eyes grew wide. Inside the box was a brand new skateboard.

"OMG Victor," Max screamed like a girl. "I love it!" Max hugged Victor as Victor had done to him and kissed him, the kiss lasting a bit longer than they thought. Hermione, finding it a bit of an awkward moment, decided to clear her throat which caused the boys to stop kissing and come back to reality.

"Sorry mum, here's your gift, and Draco's," Max said, passing each of them a gift. Once they opened them (Hermione got a necklace and Draco a pocket watch in case you forgot), they thanked Max. Then, Victor handed Hermione a gift. Hermione told Victor that he didn't have to buy her anything, but he insisted that it was only respecting that he did. After everyone else had their gifts exchanged, Ron gave his gift to Pansy. The box was the same shape as a ring box. Pansy opened it, her fingers shaking at what may lay inside. When she opened the box, Ron got down on one knee and everyone in the room fell silent.

"Pansy, we've been through a lot, and though we never got on in the beginning, everything worked out in the end. Pansy Parkinson, will you marry me?" Ron said.

"Yes Ronald Weasley, I will," Pansy said. Ron rose and took the ring from the box, slipping it on her finger. Pansy pulled him towards her and kissed him passionately. Everyone clapped. Ron held Pansy tightly, sitting back on the couch with her. Draco got down underneath the tree and took out the last present that was underneath it. It was in the same shape as the gift that Ron had given Pansy.

Hermione opened it and looked happy, but a little confused as well. Draco, noticing the look on Hermione's face, decided to explain it to her.

"It's a promise ring. I know it's something that a teenager would do, but since we're already married, I thought this was the way to go. It's just to promise you that I'll always be here for you and with you through everything. I know that it's not as big as Ron's gift, but it still from the heart and…" Draco started, but Hermione put her finger to his lips.

"Draco, I love it. You don't need to say anymore. It's perfect," Hermione said, taking her finger off of his lips and replacing her finger with her own lips.
