Shitza: God, I didn't know it was that hard starting working at a pizzeria. But anyway, I have to start somewhere, I guess… But at the moment, I am really tired, but I guess I better start working on this fic again.

Lately I have received less and less ideas for this and if it continues, well then I will be most sad to announce that the following chapters may take months to make. It's been long since I received serious Writer's blocks for a fic, unless you count one fic that is discontinued, but that one has other reasons. For example, by being awfully written.

So if you have any ideas for something I am most open, all though I have some goals for this fic, so I'll try to listen to all ideas, please don't strangle me if I don't because then it must be something impossible. One thing is that I will not change pairings in the fic and I will not revive dead persons back to life.

Yawn; better get going before I fall asleep. Man, I am tired.

Chapter 36 Merry Christmas Gryffindor

Harry woke up at Christmas morning. The whole dorm was still asleep, but since Ron still hadn't awoken and he wanted to go on an early visit. Ron was his best friend, since years back. They had met at the station of King's Cross and from that moment on the train become good friends. Harry really missed him.

Harry silently opened the door to the Wing and silently walked to Ron's bed. Ron still hadn't awoken. Harry sighed. "We really miss you." He whispered.

He waved his hand, and by the bedside table a bunch of flowers appeared, replacing the old dead ones. Harry was about to turn and leave again; his on Ron being awake faded quickly, then…

"Hey, where in the world do you think you are going?" a very familiar voice said.

Harry turned and saw to his amazement and shock that Ron had opened an eye and was grinning happily. "Ron, you're awake!" Harry said.

"Yeah, you didn't think I seriously had decided to not wake up or something. Honestly, you know me. I would not abandon my friends after all that happened."

"What do you mean happened?"

"Voldie has my powers, or the fire elemental powers I inherited from Gryffindor. Not all, half of it, but that is really enough to destroy much."

Harry nodded; silently he sent a thought to Draco, to wake him up. Draco yelled in his mind for disturbing him and didn't calm down until Harry managed to tell him that Ron was awake. Then he heard him curse, he had probably fallen out of bed or something.

"I'll wake the rest," Draco said. Then he disappeared, probably having closed his mind.

Harry smiled. "The others are on their way. I am really happy you woke up, Cassie almost committed suicide when you didn't wake up."

Ron shook his head. "I'll talk to her, but first I need to tell you something."

Harry smiled and took a wrapped gift from his pocket. "Merry Christmas Ron!"

Later that day, as most other student were outside enjoying snowball fights and drowning themselves in the white cold powder, the heirs sat in armchairs switching Christmas presents. With the heirs sat Blaze, Sabina and Iris. The three of them had wanted to join, Sabina and Iris since they had gifts for their boyfriends and Blaze since he had brutally been attacked by snowballs from angry Slytherins and were now hiding in the Gryffindor common room thinking of an evil way of revenge. Yet he too also had presents, for each of them.

Ron looked in awe at his pile, when he had been half dead almost every single Gryffindor had wrapped up a gift for him. Harry laughed at Blaze's expression seeing his own pile, which wasn't as big, yet it wasn't small either. Neville was busy wrapping up gifts from Hufflepuff's while Cassandra was burning up love letters. When Ron had been down about a hundred guys had asked for her heart. That they even dared.

Hermione was looking at small perfume Neville had given her. He told her it had been his own invention, and as she tried it the scent from it made them believe they sat in a rose patch. Hermione kissed Neville on the cheek, receiving a shocked look from Sabina. Yet his girlfriend had received something even better, can you guess what? It was a small ring and one letter. As she broke the seal Neville almost fell over in embarrassment for his voice came from the letter, saying.

I love you with my life; you are the light in my days. Sabina, I ask you, do you want me as your beloved husband, because I want you as my wife?

Sabina almost dropped the letter and stared at Neville. Then she ran over to him, crying of joy. And he received a nervous 'yes'.

Cassandra took out a napkin from her pocket to dry her tears. Harry, Ron and Draco laughed teasing Neville for being so early. But they shouldn't have said that, receiving odd looks from their girlfriends.

The heirs received a various supply of odd magical things from different parts of the globe. Neville received rare herbs, some really good healing equipment like dream catchers and a large supply of rare stones with magical uses. Draco received many dark objects, which they knew he could handle for good uses. Ron had been given a lot of war supplies with lion symbols and one book with the title, to Win over your Wounds. Cassandra and received books and old scrolls. Hermione had received about the same, and a lot of really beautiful jewellery. Harry had been given many old magical objects, with notes saying… I am sure you'll figure it out. Harry sighed; just because he was Merlin's heir it didn't mean he was Merlin himself.

Iris received a beautiful diamond necklace from her boyfriend. He had found this walking past Hogsmeade's only jewellery shop. It cost a fortune, but it was worth it.

Cassandra received a red rose; with a magical ability that it would continue being as pure and fresh forever. Ron told her that the rose had belonged to his great grandfather, who had given it to his great grandmother as a gift. The rose had stayed alive and healthy ever since and it was a sign in his family of deepest love, the same love he shared for her.

What Draco had given Hermione was never showed, but indeed looking at how Hermione blushed indeed he hadn't forgotten her. And none of them felt like asking her, since she didn't seem open to tell.

And blaze, well apart from all the joke stuff he had gotten he had been given his own bow and quiver, so instead of sitting in a corner making arrows, he would also be allowed to trains with them. Blaze smiled and thanked them. Indeed it was great being a close friend to the heirs.

The peace had for a short while decided to stay over Hogwarts and the heirs would finally have a day of relaxing with the ones close to them. Harry rested peacefully, with iris in his lap. Indeed for once in a long time, life was wonderful.

Dinner down in the Great Hall was great, and everyone felt filled with the Christmas mood. The poor house elves had been slaving worse then ever to make dinner for everyone, even if there wasn't that many who stayed it was still a lot of work.

By the heirs table sat Percy, who still stayed at Hogwarts until Neville would give him thumbs up for leaving. Yet Percy didn't look like he wanted to leave yet, as the Minister election wouldn't take place for long he had no hurry. But he didn't rest all the time, different teachers or some few times even by an heir, which was the best protection he could get. The heirs all wanted Percy to be Minister. By the time he had been trapped with Voldemort his thoughts of the real world had changed and he was closer to reality then anyone else. He knew what starvation, pain, panics and all those other things really were. But right now the thoughts about

Neville told everyone lightly about a joke he had heard from an old fraud he had met at Hog's Head. Everyone laughed feeling happy as ever. All sorrow and pain was gone from their faces, most as nothing had happened.

And better it became afterwards, with a big Christmas party in the Gryffindor Common room. With it also followed a happy visit from Petunia, Lupin and Tonks, who gladly had taken the train to Hogwarts. Petunia cried when she saw Harry and gave him a quick hug making him as confused as ever. Tonks was happily showing younger Gryffindors her powers and did the pig nose about fifteen times. But that was not all, with the feast followed almost fifty mistletoes in the roof and they whistled every time a girl and guy stood under it. So far Lupin had kissed Petunia three times, Harry had kissed Cassandra twice. This had been rivalled by her boyfriend who kissed her more then ten to make it all up. Harry had also been fortunate to kiss Hermione on the cheek; one time and Neville stumbled over her one time, receiving jealous glares from Draco. But Neville also stayed close to his girlfriend and received a kiss or two here and there. Iris and Harry shared one passionate kiss by the fireplace, typically enough being photographed by Colin who just had to pass by. Colin himself had ended up being kissed by Thereze three times, one of them not being under the mistletoe.

It was all peace and calm for one night and happily everyone went to sleep, unknown to the facts of tomorrow.

To Reviewers: Okay, don't fuss because this was a short chapter, I did say I was out of ideas. So all the help is welcomed with open arms and please don't flame me because of this shortness. I will try to make it longer next time, but I cannot promise anything.

Draco's Wife Lover: Well, be happy for this that Neville will take care of Ron, so I won't let him stay in the Hospital Wing for long. And thanks for the last mail, thanks for all reviews and for not giving up reading. I don't know if the older reviewers got tired out there, after all it really seems I am getting nowhere with this story.

Ps: But I do have some goals, and the last fight chapter plus the epilogue is almost finished.

Sunrise after dark: Oh, must have been tired last time, really tired. Thanks though for telling me, it is one of those mistakes I don't always notice.

Harrylover8592: (blushes) thanks for saying that I am really happy you like it. I will try to update soon and I hope this chapter didn't take too long to write.
