The Calm before the Storm III
(Remus and Tonks are together in this and have already had the baby, if you don't like it go have a poo!)
"WAKE UP GIRLS, IT'S CHRISTMAS!" Fred and George screeched up the stairs.
Rose sat up abruptly and rubbed her eyes. She didn't know what all the fuss was about Christmas had never been anything special back at the orphanage. Just like any other day. She glanced around the room which she shared with Hermione and Ginny, her eyes stopping at the pile of presents on the end of her bed. She glanced around confused. And laughed to her when she saw Ginny on all fours ripping open her presents already. She reached down to grab a parcel to be surprised that it was addressed to her. She grinned and started ripping the paper off. To reveal a deep red hand knitted jumper with an R on. Her first Christmas present. She grabbed another which was from Harry. She wondered what it could be until curiosity got the better of her and she tore the paper off impatiently. To reveal a Broomstick care kit. Rose's mouth dropped open.
"HARRRRYYYYYY!" Rose ran out of the room and charged into the Harry and Ron's room and leapt on Harry. Ron screamed like a girl as he was standing there in his boxers.
"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, I love it! I love you" Rose cried. Harry stood there slightly shocked, until he wrapped his arms round Rose and chuckled.
"Your welcome Rose, I loved the Quidditch book you gave me!" Harry said still chuckled at half naked blushing Ron.
"I know your having a nice little chat and everything but I'm kinda in the middle of getting dressed" Ron exclaimed. Rose laughed and started to leave the room only to turn back and say "I underestimated you Ron" And left with a wink. Harry laughed and followed his sister.
As everyone piled into the kitchen after the following the delicious smell of bacon and sausages. Everyone sat around the expanded table and tucked in, happily chatting and laughing. Remus Lupin and Tonks arrived with Teddy there recently born son. Everyone crowded round to see the tiny new born.
"He is adorable" Rose cooed as she was holding Teddy. Who had thick head of bubble gum hair. "He has your eyes Remus."
"Well they change colour about every hour, so don't get used it Rose" Lupin joked.
"Oh you look tired Remus, is something the matter?" Rose asked.
"Oh erm no, just baby keeping me up and everything." Remus lied.
Sirius came over and put his arm round Remus and looked at him seriously.
"Now you're a daddy Moony, don't go forgetting your old chum Padfoot here." Sirius slurred.
"Has he started drinking already." Lupin teased.
"Oh is it your time of month there Moony." Sirius winked.
"What?" Rose asked looking amused but confused.
"Oh erm nothing, it doesn't matter." Lupin stumbled, quickly heading for the kitchen muttering to himself about carelessness.
"What's with him?" Rose asked a look of worry flashed across her face.
"Well you see…" Sirius began before being violently pushed by Harry.
"Sirius! I've been erm looking for you! Now err go and erm… feed crookshanks!" Harry stumbled. Glaring at Sirius with meaning. Rose narrowed her eyes suspiciously sensing that they were hiding something from her…
"What are you two up to?!" Rose accused.
"Nothing." Sirius and Harry said in unison.
"Yeh sure, I just guess I'll have to find out for myself then" Rose said."Hermioneeeeeeee" She called. Hermione appeared looking flustered and bothered.
"You called?" She asked annoyed.
"Yes I did as a matter of fact, what's going on with Lupin? Everyone seems to know, but me?" Rose demanded.
"Erm, what do you mean, he erm seems fine to me" Hermione said nervously.
"Well he just seems tired and jumpy" Rose asked concerned.
"Does he? I erm haven't noticed, I'm sure he's fine, he has just had a baby you know?" Hermione said airily.
"Hmmmmmmmm…" Rose said not convinced.
"Everyone in to the living room I must be cleaning in here." Mrs Weasley shushed them out.
