Chapter 5: Christmas
"Oh, it's so great that you're home!" My mother said with delight as she wrapped her arms around Harry and me. When we entered the living room we saw my entire family, all sitting, waiting to open the presents that lay beneath the Christmas tree. Geeze I cannot believe they waited for us! It's already Eleven AM. Normally all the presents have been opened by eight, the latest!
When we sat down everyone began to tear open the presents under the Christmas tree. The twins gave me a book called An Idiot's Guide to Pranking hah! Like I need that! I'm just as good as the twins, they learned it all from me! Well maybe not ALL… but still I'm just as good. I suppose it'll be a great way for my child to learn the tricks of the trade… Oh I'm such a bad head girl! First I go and get pregnant and now I'm encouraging my unborn child to be a prankster! What the hell is wrong with me?
Bill and Charlie bought Harry and I a gag present, a box full of condoms, diaphragms, and a list of contraceptive spells that they had found 'useful' attached was a note that said, 'for next time' I rolled my eyes at my brothers they think they're so funny! (They're not)
Percy gave us a book called How to Raise a Child That Will Become a Prefect I'm dead serious too! What a dork. I of course thanked him but geeze! Who wants perfect prefects for kids? Certainly not me! (Of course I am head girl… what type of example am I setting? Oh well the hormones are still off…)
Ron and Hermionie gave Harry and I a joint present as well, a coffee maker for our new house, Hermionie knows how I can't stay up late with caffeine and said it was so I'd be able to stay up with the baby. Ron told us how to work it I found it hilarious because you could so tell that he'd memorized the directions. Oh well, at least he's good for something!
The next present was from my parents, they gave me my baby blanket, for my baby! And some old baby furniture, I'm not sure where we're going to store it, there isn't much room in Harry's room at Hogwarts… Oh well we'll work it out later. Then my mom gave me her special locket, the one she told me she'd give me when I was married. It's gorgeous and it belonged to my great great great great Grandma times like ten, it's a family heirloom.
My dad gave Harry a packet of batteries saying 'you're from a muggle house, you'll be able to use them." I grinned as Harry awkwardly took the batteries.
"Harry, come here." I said. He walked over to where I was sitting.
"I have a present for you." I whispered. I took his hand and walked over to the window. Below was Sirius' old motor bike. I'd had it re-wired so it was up to modern times.
"Ginny!" Harry breathed. "You shouldn't have."
"Well I did, I know you were upset that he couldn't be at the wedding but now you have a little piece of him with you, I know it's not much but it's something…" I trailed off as Harry's warm lips met mine.
When we broke away he said, "I have a present for you too, you know that I inherited 12 Grimmuld Place?" Harry asked me.
I nodded
"Well I had it redone and it's so cheerful looking now, you won't even recognize it anymore! I thought that it would be a great place to raise a baby, I had the baby's room painted green, a light green because that can go either way. But if you don't like it we'll do something else." Harry said quickly.
"Harry! I love that idea, it'll be amazing having our own house, and I happen to love green. I said softly, gazing into his stunningly green eyes.
"And I love red." He said stroking my hair. I smiled and kissed him.
"I'm going to see if mom needs any help in the kitchen." I said leaving Harry.
"So mate, my sister…" Ron said awkwardly
"Yeah, you're sister, look I didn't mean for it to happen but I do love her…" harry trailed off.
"I know you do, Ron said with a small smile. "If I could choose any guy for her it would be you." Ron confided. Harry grinned.
The two then did one of those dorky manly hugs and they each knew that whatever happened they'd always been friends. This had been their first 'real' conversation about Ginny and Harry being together, the last time they had avoided her at all costs, talking of quidditch and their Hogwarts days.
"Congratulations" Ron said gruffly
"Thanks, so the Chudly Cannons are doing nicely this year…"
The moment was over between the two and quidditch was again their main topic.
Fred and George walked up to Harry and Ron and began talking to him, or threatening him…
"Harry mate," Fred started,
"We just wanted to say good work," George added
"You've found yourself a lovely girl," Fred continued
"But if you ever hurt her" George said,
"You've got us to answer to!" Fred and George said in unison.
"I'll keep that in mind." Harry said meekly as he stared at my six scary looking brothers.
"You guys will not hurt Harry unless I tell you to. Is that clear?" I asked, my voice menacing seeing them surround Harry as I walked from the kitchen to the living room.
My brother's all looked down, slightly scared. I think I've inherited my mother's ability to scare my brothers! Yes!
I saw Hermionie sitting at the other end of the table, stifling her laughs at the look on my brother's faces. She's the best sister in law ever, well only at the moment but still we've always gotten along well.
Later that night when most of the house had gone to bed, Hermionie and I sat on my bed talking.
"So, how was the honeymoon?" Hermionie asked excitedly.
"It was fine…" I said, smiling a little.
"Just fine? Come on it was Hawaii! Spill! I want to know everything, I told you all about my honeymoon." She pouted.
"It was bloody amazing! And Hermionie, I didn't need to know half of what you and Ron did that vacation." I said.
Hermionie blushed a little and said,
"So what did you do?"
"Well we went to the beach during the day and at night, well lets just say we kept ourselves busy."
We started giggling like schoolgirls, oh wait a minute, I AM a schoolgirl.
"That sounds so romantic! You even have a tan." Hermionie exclaimed.
"I know! I usually just burn but I didn't! Isn't it exciting!" I laughed.
"Ahem, Ginny?" Harry asked from the doorway. I wonder how much of the conversation he heard…
"Yes dear husband?" I asked
"Are you and Hermionie almost done? Ron says he's tired and doesn't want to be woken when she goes to bed, and I'm tired too." He said with a puppy dog-face.
"Looks like our husbands can't stay up past midnight." Hermionie said to me.
"No I guess not, well good night Hermionie, see you tomorrow."
She left and Harry pulled off his clothes leaving him in just his boxers before climbing into bed. I climbed in next to him, already clothed in my nightgown.
"Night Harry" I whispered.
"Night" He said back, and then we kissed.
It became more heated, both wanting more contact, but after a moment, Harry broke away.
"What's wrong?" I asked, not sure why my own husband would push me away when we were clearly about to have fantastic sex, if I do say so myself and I do so I did… err did that make any sense? Oh never mind listen to what Harry's saying!
"We're in your parents house! This is your childhood bed, we can't do it here!" Harry whispered.
"So? We're married! We can do what we want! We'll put a silencing charm on the room so they can't hear-
"Ginny, I don't feel right about it, let's just go to sleep okay?"
"Geeze, you're so old fashioned why won't you just have sex with me, it's not a big deal or anything." I said angrily. Damn hormones.
Harry rolled his eyes and said, "Good night Ginny" before turning off the lights and falling asleep.
"Fine, be that way, but if I didn't love you…"
"Ginny, can we just go to sleep? We can have sex tomorrow if you want." Harry said tiredly, already half asleep.
"Fine, ooh we're going to be getting a new room! Isn't this exciting? Harry? Harry?" I asked. Damn he fell asleep. Maybe I should go to sleep too…
