The rest of Christmas was perfect. They finished opening their presents and had just started eating breakfast when it began to snow. Then they all hung around the house all day and fooled around with their presents. The pretty much did the same thing for the next few days with the exception of the few times that they went out to play in the snow or to gather some more fire wood.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

It was now the morning of New Year's Eve. It was about 10 o'clock and the kids were in the back yard of the Burrow having a snowball fight. Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, and Fleur had all left the day before because they had business to attend to, so now it was just Ron, Hermione, Harry, Ginny, and Mr. & Mrs. Weasley.

"Hey, that's not fair!" yelled Ron as Harry jumped on top of him shoving him face first into the snow.

"Actually mate, there are no rules," said Harry as he helped Ron up out of the snow.

"No rules, eh?" responded Ron when he was standing on his own 2 feet again.

"Well then, I guess this is allowed."

Ron took an armful of snow and shoved it in Harry's face. And with that their snow war began.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Hey love, I've got a secret to tell you," Ron whispered into Hermione's ear after they had finished with dinner.

"What is it?" asked Hermione curiously.

"You'll see later on, but I promise that you'll like it" responded Ron mysteriously.

"Oh okay, well I'll be expecting something good." Said Hermione in a sexy tone.

"Alright everyone, lets have a celebration for the ending of this year and the beginning of next year!" said Mrs. Weasley as they all settled into the living room.

With her Mrs. Weasley brought 2 huge platters of food. One was fruits and vegetables with cheese and crackers and the other was full of tasty treats such as pastries and cookies and what not.

"Ron honey, would you be a dear and grab the juice? I forgot it in the fridge."

"Yea, sure mum, I'll be back in a sec," said Ron cheerfully as he jumped up to go into the kitchen.

"What's gotten into him?" asked Hermione once he left the room, "he seems really happy about something."

"Oh you know, it's probably just that the new year is coming or something like that," answered Mrs. Weasley.

"Yea, probably."

Meanwhile in the kitchen… 'Ahh this is so good that mom asked me to get the drinks, I was hoping she would all day' Ron thought to himself as he pulled the two pitchers of juice out of the fridge. One was cider and the other punch. He then pulled a small flask out of his pocket. 'Lets see, mum and dad like the punch the best they usually drink all of I,' thought Ron as he poured the small flask into the punch. He then pulled out two smaller bottles from behind the cabinet and drank one and then put the other one in his pocket.

"Here you go mum," said Ron as he placed the pitchers on the table and went back to the kitchen to get the glasses.

"Wait Ron, I'll help you," said Hermione as he left the room again.

Once in the kitchen Ron handed Hermione the small bottle in his pocket and told her to drink it.

"What is this?" whispered Hermione slightly concerned.

"I can't tell you now, mum and dad might overhear, but its nothing bad, I promise, just drink it. Please?" Ron whispered back.

"Oh, alright, but anything bad happens to me its your fault!" Hermione said to Ron sternly.

A short while later they returned to the living room with the glasses and the party began.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Ron was right in his assumption that his parents would drink all of the punch. Ginny had a small glass, but besides that his parents drank the rest of it while the kids drank the cider.

"I'm getting really sleepy, I think I'm going to head to bed," announced Mrs. Weasley at 12:30.

"I think I'll join you," added Mr. Weasley while trying to keep his eyes open.

Harry and Ginny went off to bed shortly after the parents.

"Well," said Hermione.

"Well what?" answered Ron.

"What was your surprise that you told me about earlier?"

"Ahh yes, the surprise. Well you see when I went into the kitchen to get the juice I poured a sleeping potion into the punch because I knew my parents would drink it all. The potion that I gave you was the counter potion incase you drank some punch. It would make the punch have no effect on you." Ron answered.

"Ron Weasley, you are a horrible person, giving your parents a sleeping potion like that!" said Hermione, but she couldn't help herself and she let out a little giggle.

"Come on 'Mione, it's not that bad, it will only last until 8 a.m. That's what the bottle says, you give it to your victim, er um person," he corrected himself when Hermione gave him a stern look, "at night time and it lasts until 8 o'clock the next morning. So you see it's really not that bad, now all we have to do is put this charm that I found on Harry and Ginny's doors. That way they can't leave the rooms. You wait here, I'll go do that now."

"Fine, I'm going to go and change into my pajamas first though and then I'll meet you back down here, what's the charm? I'll do it on Ginny's door when I leave."

Ron gave Hermione the charm and they then went upstairs to change and lock the doors.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

A short while later Hermione entered the kitchen in her pajamas to see that Ron was doing something in the fridge. Hermione was wearing soft light pink pajama pants with a low cut v-neck silk pink camisole and a thin pink sheer robe over it. Ron too was wearing pajamas but he had on blue and green plaid pajama pants and a white beater.

"Hey love, glad you could make it," he said when he turned around and saw her standing there.

Ron had placed whipped cream, chocolate syrup, vanilla pudding and strawberries on the table before Hermione arrived.

"Look what I found," said Ron showing Hermione the chocolate mousse that he just pulled out of the fridge, "left over from Christmas Eve."

"I'll be right back," said Hermione as she walked into the bathroom.

While Hermione was in the bathroom she did a contraception charm on herself just in case. She had a pretty good idea where this was going. After she finished she went to the bathroom, washed her hands and walked back out into the kitchen.

Ron surprised her by jumping out behind her and tickling her sides. Hermione couldn't stop laughing, her sides were her most ticklish spot on her entire body and Ron knew that.

"Ron … stop…" Hermione tried to get out between laughs.

She was now laughing so hard that there were tears running down her cheeks.

"Do you surrender?" Ron asked while he paused from tickling her for a moment.

"Never!" she said as she tried to get away from him.

"Well then," said Ron as he picked Hermione up and swung her over his shoulder.

He carried her over to the table and laid her down on top of it. He got on the table so he was straddling her pelvis and he continued to tickle her.

"Ron, wait a minute, please," Hermione begged.

Ron stopped.

"Yes love? What do you need?"

"Time."

"Time? What do you need time for?" Ron asked confused.

"Time to do THIS!" Hermione squealed as she reached behind her and picked up the whipped cream which she then continued to spray in his face.

"Oh you little!" he started but then the he got a better idea.

He untied her robe and she moved her body slightly off the table so he could remove it.

Then he kissed her. Harder and hotter than he had ever done before.
