Author Note: Okay, so there's no Sears or K-Mart in London, at least not in the wizarding world, but this is what my editors came up with, I thought it was hilarious! And The Sears/K-Mart kit is lovingly swiped from Calvin and Hobbes.


After the kids had finished opening their presents, Ginny turned to her kids and explained to them that within the next several months they would have a new brother or sister.

"Yay, someone else to pick on!" said Dylan.

"What are you talking about, Dylan?" asked Nimue. "I beat you up all the time!"

"I'll finally have someone at my skill level?"

"Mum, Dad, where do babies come from?"

Draco put a reassuring hand on his daughter's shoulder. "You see, when adults want children, they go to Sears and buy the kit…"

"We came from Sears?" yelled the twins.

"Actually, you two were a two-for-one special at K-Mart," explained Draco. "Your mother and I couldn't pass up a deal like that--"

Ginny nailed Draco in the ribs. "That's it. We're never ever letting you help with biology homework, honey."

"You mean I don't get to explain how space monkeys assist Santa?"

"Mum, can we go outside and play in the snow?" Nimue asked, apparently content with the answer that they got.

"Sure, but I don't think that Midnight is up to it. She's still a puppy; I think she fell asleep on her pillow."

"Oh, butter biscuits!" Dylan said.

"All right," Nimue said sadly, but then perked up. "Hey, will you and Dad come out and play with us?"

Ginny smiled at her two children. "Well, I don't see why not."

"Well, Ginny, we have a very large amount of people coming to the house," Draco said.

"Yeah, in three hours," Ginny protested. "I've got the turkey in the oven. I'll just put on a extra spell to keep basting it every so often."

After Draco and Ginny bundled Nimue and Dylan up in their snowsuits, hats, gloves, scarves, and boots, they were ready to go outside. "Dad," came a muffled cry from Dylan, "Dad, I can't see anything!"

Draco attended to his son. He tugged the scarf down a bit and pulled his hat off a little. "There, any better?"

"Loads! Come on, Nim, let's go!"

Ginny watched her kids for a moment as they ran and played in the snow, and then she laughed.

"What's so funny?" Draco asked as he pulled his boots on.

"Do you remember our first Christmas together?"

Draco smiled and said, "Yeah, it was my seventh year and your sixth."

"We'd been going out for only a week." Ginny smiled.

"Two weeks," Draco corrected her.

FLASHBACK

It was Christmas Eve, and Draco and Ginny were walking around the grounds of Hogwarts. There were stars in the sky, and the moon was so bright it was all they needed for a source of light.

"Can we go in yet?" Draco whined.

"No, it's not yet Christmas. I asked you out here to participate in my Christmas tradition, you agreed, so we're not yet turning in yet," Ginny said matter-of-factly.

"Wow, didn't know that there was a whole list of rules and regulations in this relationship," Draco said. Ginny just smacked him lightly on the arm.

Soon Ginny's teeth started to chatter. Draco pulled her into a hug and wrapped his cloak around her too. "You need to get rid of the hand-me-downs."

"I'm so sorry that I don't come from a rich family where I get brand new items every year," Ginny said into his chest as she huddled against him for warmth.

Draco pushed her away and said, "I think it's as good as time as any to give you your Christmas gift." He pulled out a box from a pocket inside his cloak.

"You… you got me a gift?" Ginny asked.

"Isn't that one of your rules? If I want to go out with you, I have to buy you presents, right?" Draco said with a laugh.

Ginny smacked him in the chest. "Seriously, why did you buy me something?"

"Because I wanted to."

Ginny smiled and tried to take hold of the present when he pulled it out of her reach. "Reach for it, Weasley," he teased. He knew that there was no way she could. He expected her to at least play along and jump for it, but that's not exactly what happened. Ginny shoved him, and he fell backwards into the snow. "Bloody hell! What was that for?"

Ginny straddled his lap and said, "We Weasleys do not jump for anything. We just simply take it!" She grabbed the present out of his hands.

She tore the box open and gasped at what she saw inside. She didn't say anything for so long that Draco became nervous and thought that she didn't like it. "I… I know it's not much, but I…"

She placed a finger over his lips to quiet him. "It's my own, my very own, brand new, house scarf and gloves!" she said as she tore the ones she was wearing off and put on her new Gryffindor scarf and matching gloves.

"How did you know?" Ginny asked.

"Rule number twelve: a boyfriend should listen to your every word." She hit him again in the chest and smiled. He actually remembered. She went on and on one day how she couldn't stand the hand-me-downs anymore. She was wearing Percy's old school robes, which had to be taken up; she had Charlie's old scarf and gloves, only because he went to Egypt and said he had no need for any warm clothes there; and worst of all she had all of Ron's old books. Her mother kept saying, "Why get new ones when you can use Ron's old ones?"

Ginny hugged him, but then panicked. "But I didn't get anything for you," she gasped.

"That's okay. I think you can give me one though." He reached down to his pants pocket and took out some mistletoe. He placed it over her head, and suddenly she felt the magic that the flower held grow through her. She smiled up at him and kissed him.

Ginny pulled her Gryffindor scarf and gloves on as she watched him do the same, with his house scarf and gloves, "We're such a pair aren't we?" Ginny laughed, quickly kissed her husband and joined her kids outside.
