The next morning (actually it's still Christmas) Hermione woke up to an empty bed. She rolled over confused to see the time. "11:35? Oh god I slept in."
She walked downstairs but stopped to hear shouts coming from none other then Draco and Ron. Hermione rolled her eyes and sat on the steps.
"Are you sure you are ok Weasly?" Draco asked. Ron paced back and forth in front of the Christmas tree.
"I'm a little bloody shocked but why wouldn't I be happy for you two?" Ron answered.
"I can think of a million reasons." Draco answered while placing his feet on the coffee table.
"Shoot!"
"Because you are insanely in love with Hermione."
"Yeah right…"
"You dated for 2 years."
"Over and done with!"
"You hate my guts." Draco smiled. Ron wasn't in a funny mood.
"That… I have nothing to say to." Ron sat down on the couch. They didn't speak a word to eachother.
"Hey Herm-"
"Shh!" Hermione put her finger over her lips. "They don't know I'm here." She whispered. Harry nodded and continued down the stairs.
"Hey guys. Merry Christmas." He grabbed a mug of coffee and sat down next to Draco.
"Merry Christmas Potter." Draco mumbled.
Ron said nothing to him. He sat twiddling his thumbs and looking down at the floor. "The girls should be up soon." Harry said.
Hermione decided to walk down the stairs a few minutes later. "Morning!" She sang. Grabbing a cup of tea and a scone she sat down next to her fiancé and gave him a kiss. "Merry Christmas guys." They waited in awkward silence waiting for Ginny to wake up to start opening the presents.
Then the phone rang. "Excuse me…" Harry got up and grabbed the phone. "Hello? Oh hi Mrs. Weasly how are you. I'm good… no Ginny is still asleep. Merry Christmas to you to. Yeah one second." Harry pressed speaker and put the phone on the hook.
"Hello!" Mrs. Weasly called.
"Hi…"
"Hello…"
"Morning." They answered back.
"Who is there?" asked Mrs. Weasly.
"Oh it's me, Ron, Hermione, and Draco." Harry answered.
"Malfoy? How lovely to talk to you. Ron dear, your father and I are coming down to give you and Ginny your Christmas presents."
"Ok mom…" Ron answered glumly.
"Alright… I must go dears. Tell Ginny when she wakes up please. See you soon!"
"Bye…" They all called back as Harry hung up the phone.
"Great know we can tell Mr. Mrs. Weasly." Hermione said. Ron looked down and started twiddling his thumbs again. " I told you…" Hermione whispered to Malfoy.
Ginny walked down the stairs and sat next to Harry. "Merry Christmas everyone. Where's Draco?" She asked.
"Picking out the engagement ring. It's my Christmas present." Hermione explained.
"Oh that's wonderful. Want to exchange gifts now Harry?" He nodded and they both grabbed their presents. "You first." Harry said, nudging Ginny in the side. He handed her a small box. She unwrapped it and opened up a velvet box, which inside held a silver necklace. The heart hanging off it changed colours from Red, to pink, to white, to black and to purple. "Oh thank you honey!" Ginny kissed him on the lips and handed him his present.
Harry looked at it confused. "It's a soother with a picture of us on it." He laughed. Hermione understood what Ginny meant. "What does it mean."
"I'm pregnant!" Ginny smiled.
"Really?" He said surprised and excitedly. "Oh that's great!" He gave her a hug and Ron smiled.
"Looks like everyone is settling down." Ron forced a smile.
Just then Draco opened the door with the Weasly's behind him. "Hey!" Ginny ran up to them. "I didn't know you were coming!"
Mrs. Weasly looked confused. "Ron!"
"Oh sorry… I forgot." He laughed. After a round of hugs and kisses they all sat down. Ron with his parents, Harry with Ginny, and Draco with Hermione.
"Well catch us up… how is everyone?" Mr. Weasly asked.
"Fantastic!" Ron joked.
"We have some news actually." Hermione butted in. "Draco and I are going to get married!"
Mrs. Weasly's face brightened up. "Oh well good for you! I knew it was going to happen!" She gave them hugs and Ginny then tapped her mom on the shoulder.
"I'm pregnant!" She smiled and bounced up and down on the couch.
Ginny hugged her parents and Harry blushed. He looked over at Draco. "Nice…" Draco joked giving Harry thumbs up.
"Boy or girl?" Ron wondered.
The question hadn't come to anyone's minds. "Girl!" Ginny squealed. Then a whole bunch of questions entered her head. "I have no idea what to name her." She added.
They sat in the living room talking until the Weasly's had to leave. In the afternoon, Ginny and Hermione went shopping for the wedding.
Harry and Draco were alone in the house. Ron went with his parents. "Congratulations." Draco said.
"You too." Harry smiled.
"Listen… Hermione is asking Ginny to be her maid of honour. Would you mind being my best man?" Draco asked.
"Of course." Harry answered.
"What about Ron? I don't even know if he will be comfortable coming. I don't care if he does. But I told 'Mione that she should tell him."
"Good idea."
Hermione and Draco walked home that night. It is a 10 minute drive, it was about a 45 minute long walk. "Tomorrow when Ginny and I try on wedding gowns I'm going to stop by the Weasly's and tell Ron." Hermione explained. Draco nodded. They walked hand in hand to their house and went to sleep.
