I'm quite upset. I didn't get as many reviews as last chapter. You can leave a negative review if you want. I was also sick this weekend and I am still sick but I wrote the next chapter, most of you will hate me but by the end love me again. But enough said.

In the Christmas Spirit
--Chapter 23--
The next few weeks passed by really quickly. Pretty soon it was the eve of Christmas Eve (December 23) and it was the Holiday Feast. Luckily the school had not found out about Hermione being pregnant.
After the huge feast, all students (and Harry and Hermione) went up to their rooms and gathered their things and headed for the train ride home. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all got in the same compartment together.
Eventually all of them fell asleep because of the late hour. It was midnight before they finally got to the Weasley's house and they collapsed on their respective beds. (Harry and Hermione got that special room together from like chapter three)
Every child woke up around noon time to the smell of food cooking. Hermione jumped in the shower and Harry decided to decorate the room. He did it similar to his classroom. He put a wreath on both sides of the door, enchanted snow falling, and a 7 foot tree in the corner. Since this only took about three minutes, Harry jumped in the shower with Hermione.
Harry was dressed in his 'H' sweater and jeans, Mrs. Weasley had gotten better at making them his was green with a red H, mostly to accent his eyes. Hermione also had her 'H' sweater on only it was reversed, red sweater and a green H and a pair of jeans. Both had charmed it so it fit perfectly since Harry's was about two sizes too big and Hermione's was one too big.
They went downstairs to lunch which was already on the table when they arrived.
After lunch, Hermione and Ginny helped Mrs. Weasley make a fabulous Christmas Eve dinner, Fish, steak, ribs, salad, rolls, and much, much more. They were able to make a bigger feast this year since Mr. Weasley had gotten promoted.
Harry and Ron sat in the living room playing wizard chess. Mr. Weasley was sitting in his chair catching up on various things. Bill, Fleur, Charlie, Fred, and George had come to the house about 6. All the guys were in the living room while fleur helped Mrs. Weasley cook.
It was about seven when everyone was called to the fabulous feast. During dinner, little conversations were going on when Mrs. Weasley said speaking loudly, "So, Harry and Hermione, have you figured out what you going to name it?"
Silverware dropped. Bill, Fleur, and Charlie looked at the two. "Um, not yet." Harry said nervously.
The three heads went to Hermione and surprisingly they all said at the same time "You're pregnant?" and the heads turned to Harry, "And you're the father?"
"Yes well, you do know that were engaged, right?" Hermione said
"No." each one of them said
"Well, were engaged and Hermione is about two months pregnant." Harry said before returning to his meal, signaling that he did not want to continue this conversation now.
Everyone went back to their little conversations. Desert was brought out an hour later. It was cheesecake.
After desert Harry and Hermione explained to Bill, Fleur and Charlie about what happened and were soon sending their congratulations to them.
Next they knew it was one AM. Everyone was staying at the house so they all went to bed.
The next morning Harry woke at 7, well before everyone else. He took a shower and then he had to prepare for his second big surprise for Hermione.
Once he was done, he woke Hermione up and sent her to take a shower. It only took her 15 minutes then they both went down to breakfast. However Harry said he forgot something went back to the room and took off the invisibility spell and everything he had done had become visible.
Once downstairs, Mrs. Weasley was bopping around making breakfast.
Within twenty minutes everyone was downstairs, ready to open gifts. The Mrs. Weasley stated "Harry and Hermione will give each other their gifts last"
Harry had given Ron a new broom, with this he got a look from Molly saying 'you shouldn't have'. He gave Ginny a pair of white gold hoop earrings.
Hermione had given Ron an autographed picture of his favorite Chuddly (SP?) Cannons player which he loved. She gave Ginny a CD of her favorite muggle band.
Everyone had received their gifts so Harry and Hermione exchanged.
Hermione gave Harry his first. He opened the note it said:
This gift will surprise you until I explain
Trust me; it is not what you think.
With Love, Your fiancé
Hermione
Harry was cautious when he opened the gift. When he looked inside he saw a miniature worm. He looked at Hermione curiously and she started to explain how it worked.
Once he understood he said "It's perfect."
"Wait, I'm not done"
Hermione got up again and got a one inch think square and handed it to Harry. There was no not so he just opened it.
Inside there was a picture frame. It was a collage of pictures of the two of them since first year. Each one moved. The final picture in the right corner was the most recent; it was a picture of the two of them kissing on the night of the Congratulatory party back in November.
Harry had tears forming. "I love you" and gave her a small kiss on the lips. Everyone 'awed'.
Harry got up and got his present and gave it to Hermione. She opened the note and it said:
This is part one.
Words cannot explain, Just open
With Lots of Love, your fiancé
Harry
Hermione opened the box and inside was a white gold necklace. Dangling from it were three stones, each a diamond. She knew this stood for Past Present and Future. Tears trickled down her face.
Harry came over took it out of the box and put it around her neck. It looked gorgeous.
"Thank you so much. I love you too." And gave him a small kiss on the lips. Again everyone awed.
Everyone went into the kitchen and started to eat. Biscuits, eggs, bacon, pancakes etc.
Everyone was stuffed and was heading into the living room.
"Hermione," Harry said
She turned around "Yeah,"
"There's a part two to your gift. Follow me" He said
Hermione followed Harry up the stairs to their room. "Close your eyes" he said
She followed his instructions as he led her inside. He waved his hand from left to right and then said, "Open"
She opened. The lights were out but candles floated above. Each candle was red this time with a white poinsettia (the flower). Harry nodded and eight doves came flying in. They circled her and then dropped red and gold powder and formed the words
Merry Christmas, Your fiancé Harry
She gave him a kiss on the lips full of passion. He snapped and the doves left and music started to play.
"Join me in this dance?" Harry asked
Hermione connected her right hand with his left and her hand around her neck and his around her waist.
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All I want for Christmas
Is you...
"It's true" Harry said "All I want for Christmas is you"
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you...
You baby
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You...
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one
I really need - won't you please
Bring my baby to me...
"She's right here" he said giving her a small kiss on the forehead.
Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to se baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas
Is you...
All I want for Christmas
Is you baby
Is you baby
Harry picked her up and carried her to the bed and had a huge make out session. The song ended but fairies entered and floated around the room.
"Forever, I shall see you. I love you" Harry said.
"I love you too. Lets not put in the worms until after the wedding alright?" Hermione asked
"Alright" Harry said
