One and Only

Chapter Twenty

The next morning Hermione woke up around the same time as she did the previous morning. She pulled the hoodie over her light blue pajamas with skiing penguins on them and went to her trunk. This time she went downstairs to put the presents that she had in her trunk under the tree with everyone else's before going up to Ron's room. She kept the gingerbread heart to give Ron before everyone else got up. On the way up she met Harry on the stairs.

"Happy Christmas Harry." Hermione said.

"Happy Christmas Mione." Harry yawned. Lately it seemed that everyone had been calling her Mione. "I was just coming to tell you to come upstairs. Ron's up."

"Well Ginny was waking up when I left." Hermione explained.

"Thanks." Harry said as he passed her on the stairs with a small ring box in his hand.

"Your welcome." Hermione replied with a smile before finishing her journey to Ron's room.

When she got there Ron was on his bed in his Chudley Cannon pajamas and a present in his hand.

"Happy Christmas." Ron said as she approached.

"Happy Christmas." Hermione said after she gave him a quick good morning kiss and sat next to him on the bed. "This is just part of your present but I want you to open it now." Hermione said as she handed him the wrapped gingerbread heart.

"There's something else for you downstairs but you can open this one now." Ron said. Hermione smiled and they both took their present. "You go first." Ron said.

"Alright." Hermione said. She started to tear the paper off of the gift and gasped when she saw the beautiful silver picture frame. Her fingertips lightly touched over the words Ron and Hermione and tears came to her eyes when she looked at the picture. The picture was of them 'ice-gliding'. Ron pulled Hermione in for a spin, dipped her backwards, and kissed her. The picture kept replaying that moment over again. It was perfect captured in a picture. She watched Ron twirl her and kiss her once more before looking up at him with tears of happiness spilling from her eyes. "It's perfect." She said. "I love it, thank you" Ron smiled and pulled her close to him for a hug. He moved the hair from her face and brushed his lips against her forehead. He pulled back a little and brushed the tears from her eyes with his thumb.

"I'm glad you like it." Ron said. "You can remember that night forever now." Another tear fell down Hermione's cheek.

"I love you." She said before throwing her arms around his neck.

"I love you too." Ron murmured into her ear. Hermione pulled away and wiped the tears from her face.

"Your turn." Hermione said. Ron picked up his gift and started to tear the paper off. "It's not much but I thought that it was something you could keep that represents how I feel about you." Ron smiled at her before pulling the rest of the paper off. A strong smell of ginger filled the air. Ron turned looked at the heart shaped gingerbread. It was backwards so he didn't see the writing. He brought it up to his nose to smell it.

"Am I supposed to eat it?" Ron asked. Hermione laughed.

"No." She laughed. Hermione gently took the gingerbread heart from his hand and turned it around so he could see the writing. He smiled when he read the writing.

Ron,

You are my one and only.

I love you,

Mione

"It's perfect." Ron said. "I love it and it smells good too. Thank you." He pulled Hermione back to him again and held her tight against his chest.

They lay back on the bed and rested until they heard others getting up.

Ron and Hermione got up and went downstairs with everyone else. Everyone was gathered around the tree. Hermione saw the ring on Ginny's finger and Ginny had a bright smile across her face. Harry also had a smile on his face and he looked relieved. Mr. Weasley started to hand out the presents that were under the tree to everyone. Hermione and Ron took seats on the floor and were handed their presents.

Ron and Hermione both opened their other gifts from each other first. Hermione smiled when she opened the perfume that Ron got her.

"Thanks." Hermione said. "I ran out of that a while ago."

"You're welcome. Ron said as he gave her a quick kiss. A smile crossed his face when he opened the chess set. "It's awesome. It combines, my two favorite games." Ron said. "Thank you." He gave her another kiss before going back to his gifts. They opened the rest of their gifts, thanking the people who gave it to them along the way. Finally when there were no more gifts to open everyone was sitting and looking through their gifts. Ginny left the room and came back with a long wrapped package.

"I've got one more think for you." She said. "This is from me, Hermione, and Ron." Harry smiled as she handed the gift to him. He started to unwrap it and when the broom was fully unwrapped he smiled at his new broom. Harry jumped up and wrapped Ginny in a big hug. "I thought it would go well with your new job." She said.

"Thank you." He said and then turned to his two best friends. "And thank you two." Harry said.

"Your welcome." Hermione said with a smile.

"Anytime mate." Ron said with a mouth full of starbursts and a smile. Hermione laughed. Fleur was looking at Ginny when she noticed the ring on Ginny's finger.

"Ginny, what iz zat?" Fleur asked. "Will ve 'ave another wedding in ze family?" Ginny and Harry blushed because all attention was on them.

"Not just yet." Ginny said. "It's only a promise ring but eventually it will be an engagement ring."

"Let me see." Penelope said. She, Mrs. Weasley, Alison, Angelina, and Alicia got up to look at Ginny's ring. After examining the ring Mrs. Weasley pulled the both of them into a suffocating hug. Mr. Weasley shook Harry's hand and gave his only daughter a hug and he looked as if he wasn't sure if he wanted to let her go. But when he finally did release her from the hug he saw Harry hug her lovingly and knew that it was best for her. Hermione smiled at the touching family moment before turning and grabbing a Sugar Quill from the box that Ron gave her.

"Thank you, Ron and Hermione for the baby clothes." Bill said after turning from the touching moment.

"Yes, zank you very much." Fleur agreed.

"We thought that you could use it for when the baby was born." Hermione said.

"Uh…yeah we did." Ron agreed although he had no idea that Hermione even picked it out. For another hour or so everyone stayed downstairs. Hermione attempted to show Mr. Weasley how to use the radio and when he finally did get it to work Jingle Bell Rock came on the radio. Mr. Weasley seemed to enjoy the song so he stood and took Hermione's hand and twirled her. Hermione laughed and danced with Mr. Weasley for another minute until he brought her over to Ron. Ron took his father's place although he didn't dance too much in fear of being made fun of by Fred and George he had fun. Mr. Weasley went over to Mrs. Weasley and held his hand out for her. She took it and got up. Her brand new charm bracelet with a billion charms on it that Mr. Weasley had given her jingled as she danced. Bill and Fleur joined in, and then Ginny and Harry. Soon everyone started dancing. Even Angelina and Alicia managed to get Fred and George up and dancing.

After Frosty the Snowman and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause everyone was beat so Mrs. Weasley said that she would make breakfast while everyone got dressed. They brought their gifts upstairs and as they were changing the pancake aroma spread through the house.

Before Hermione went through her trunk to find something to wear she placed the picture frame on the stand by her bed so she could look at it. As she pulled black sweatpants and a zip-up hoodie she looked at the picture with a smile on her face.

Even as she walked down to breakfast, she kept that smile on her face. Down at breakfast Hermione took her usual seat next to Ron. Last night Mrs. Weasley jinxed the table to be bigger to accommodate everyone comfortably.

"Hermione dear, will you help me bake the cake for your parents?" Mrs. Weasley asked. "I have the mix but some of the directions are confusing."

"Sure." Hermione said. "I'd love to help."

"Great." Mrs. Weasley said with a smile.

After breakfast everyone except Fleur, and Mrs. Weasley went outside for a snowball fight. Even Mr. Weasley joined them. They all got warm jackets and sweatshirts on and headed outside. They all agreed that the teams should be split up so that none of the couples would be on the same team.

Hermione, Harry, Alison, Fred, Alicia, Percy, and Bill were against Ron, Ginny, Charlie, Angelina, George, Penelope, and Mr. Weasley.

"Ready to get your butt kicked?" Alison asked Charlie in a playful tone.

"You think so don't you?" Charlie challenged his wife.

"I know so!" Alison said. Charlie laughed like he couldn't believe what she said. Alison took her wand out and sent a snowball flying straight at Charlie's face. Everyone laughed as Charlie wiped the cold snow from his face. He had his own wand out but Penelope stopped him.

"We have to make rules first." She said.

"No magic!" Ginny exclaimed.

"What?" Came a protest of voices.

"She's right." Harry agreed. "She can't use magic so it's not fair if we can."

"You mean we have to make the snowballs and throw them by hand?" Fred asked astounded.

"'Fraid so." Angelina said. Fred scowled.

"And no hitting in the face." Charlie said. Alison smirked sarcastically at him.

"No throwing ice either." Alicia said looking to where George was looking (at a patch of iced snow.)

"Alright, well that settles it." Mr. Weasley said. He bent down and picked up a ball of snow before chucking it at his oldest son. "Let the games begin!" Snowballs began flying everywhere and people were getting hit.

Hermione made a snowball and was looking for Ron to throw it at when she felt one hit her back. She spun around to find Ron standing there with a smile on his face.

"Your not going to throw that are you Mione?" Ron asked.

"No, no why wouldn't I?" Hermione asked as she threw the snowball at Ron. Ron laughed at it.

"You're going to pay now." Ron said. Hermione's face held no fear.

"Gunna throw a snowball at me?" She asked with a half laugh.

"Worse." Ron said, holding up his hands and wiggling his fingers, inside his gloves. The fear slowly spread in Hermione's face as she took off in a run. Ron was right behind her. He almost had her once but she sped up at the last second. Finally he had her side but she squirmed out of it and ran behind Harry. "Watch out Harry." Ron said.

"Don't move Harry!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Hey Ron look!" Harry said, pointing behind him. Ron turned to look and Hermione dashed off in a run.

"What happened to being my best mate?" Ron asked.

"Well you're on the other team." Harry pointed out.

"Oh yeah." Ron said as he started off in a run after Hermione. He finally tickled her to the ground after chasing her for five minutes. Hermione's laughter echoed in the air.

"Stop, please!" Hermione exclaimed. Ron gave up after tickling her for a few seconds. He bent down and kissed her before rolling over on the ground next to her. It was silent for a minute until Ron started flailing his arms and legs in the snow. "What are you doing?" Hermione asked with a laugh.

"Making a snow angel." Ron answered.

"Oh." Hermione said before she too started flailing her arms and legs to make her own snow angel. When Ron finished his he stood and pulled Hermione up. They took a second to look at their snow angels sitting next to each other in the snow.

The moment was ruined when Harry and Ginny snuck up on them, Harry throwing a snowball at Ron and Ginny throwing one at Hermione. Ron and Hermione abandoned their snow angels and got back in the game by picking up their own snowballs and getting revenge.

An hour later everyone was cold and wet so they decided to go back inside. Mrs. Weasley and Fleur made them hot chocolate while they changed out of the wet clothes.

Christmas went by fast but everyone had a good time. Hermione even played chess with Ron and won. Of course he let her win and she knew that but they had fun nonetheless. After playing chess Hermione helped Mrs. Weasley make a cake and Mrs. Weasley learned how to do it the muggle way.

Later that night Ron couldn't sleep because he was nervous about meeting all of Hermione's family.

After rolling over for the tenth time and not being able to fall asleep, Harry's snoring was starting to get to him. He took the pillow off of his bed and chucked it at Harry.

Harry awoke in mid-snore with a start.

"What the hell?" Harry asked in a tired voice.

"Stop snoring so loud." Ron said. "I can't fall asleep." Harry laughed at this.

"My snoring isn't the reason you can't fall asleep." Harry said.

"Yes it is." Ron said.

"Then why haven't you had a problem with it for all of these years that we've shared a dorm?" Harry asked.

"Because…uh…because…" Ron searched for an answer but was unable to find one.

"It's not my snoring. You're nervous to meet Hermione's family and have to pretend you're a muggle." Harry said. Ron was silent and Harry knew he had figured out the problem. He rested his back against his headboard because he knew that he wasn't going to get back to sleep if he didn't help Ron with his problem.

"I am supposed to tell them that I want to be a banker and I play football (soccer in america) but I don't even know what those things are except what Hermione told me about them. I can just picture one of them asking me a question about something I know nothing about." Ron admitted. "I'm going to look like a fool in front of them."

"I don't know much about Hermione's family but from what I know about my Uncle Vernon Hermione hit the nail on the head with all of the questions that they probably will ask. It's not that hard to pretend to be a muggle and Hermione will be there with you so she could answer any questions that you can't. You're going to do fine." Harry assured him. "Although, if you were really a muggle I don't think that you would have the slightest chance in getting into Oxford." Harry joked.

"Thanks for believing in me so much." Ron said sarcastically.

"But seriously it's not so bad, until I was 11 I was a muggle and then when I had to go back I had to pretend that I went to this school that I didn't whenever neighbors or Aunt Marge was around. It's really not that hard." Harry said.

"The one you blew up?" Ron asked with a laugh.

"Maybe you should go talk to Hermione." Harry suggested; he didn't think that he was getting to Ron as well as Hermione could. Ron sat up.

"Yeah that's probably best." He said. "Thanks for the help."

"Anytime." Harry said, looking at the clock. "Except not at two in the morning next time."

"Got it." Ron laughed as he put a sweatshirt on and quietly crept down the stairs.

When he got to the landing where Hermione and Ginny's room was he slowly opened the door and found Hermione asleep. Ron hated to wake her but he had to talk to her before the next day. Ron sat next to her on the bed and bent down to kiss her lips.

"What's up?" Hermione asked in a tired voice when Ron pulled away.

"I wanted to talk to you about tomorrow." Ron said. Hermione sat up when she heard this.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked. Ron opened his mouth to speak but they heard Ginny roll over in her bed. Hermione put her finger to her lips and motioned for Ron to come with her. She pulled her sweatshirt over her head and led Ron to the kitchen. "Now, what's wrong with tomorrow?" Hermione asked as she begun to make tea for her and Ron.

"What if they don't like me?" Ron asked.

"Of course they'll like you." Hermione said. "My parents like you don't they?"

"Yeah, but I don't have to lie to your parents. They know that I'm a wizard." He took his tea that Hermione placed on the table in front of him and took a sip before continuing. "I am going to have to lie to the rest of your family."

"I have to lie to my family too." Hermione said. "They don't know that I'm a witch so I tell them that I go to a boarding school for the year and that I want to go into business. I can't tell them about the amazing store you bought me or that I got Head Girl. I left the muggle world when I was eleven. I might know some things about muggles but other than that I am a witch at heart." She took Ron's hand. "I have to lie about the same stuff that you do but the only difference is that I know a little bit more about it than you because I spent the first eleven years of my life as a muggle. Harry could tell you the same thing."

"He did." Ron said. "But I guess I needed to hear it from you." Hermione smiled at him and gently kissed him.

"Everyone will love you no matter what." Hermione assured him before meeting their lips once again.
