Chapter 4

Ron's POV

"What are you doing?" Harry asked sleepily, rolling over in his bed and facing me.

"Just finishing off some last minute Christmas presents," I told him.

He was already asleep again. I had just finished making a Christmas present and was heading for bed as tomorrow was Christmas.

I couldn't help thinking about the present I'd just made, would it be good enough? I decided that I should just get to sleep and see what happens tomorrow, I tried my best with what I had done.

I woke up the next morning from Harry opening his presents that were on the end of his bed.

"Merry Christmas!" He smiled joyfully.

"Merry Christmas," I mumbled tiredly.

I sat up and had a look over at Harry's bed to see what he had gotten. By the looks of it he received a book on famous quidditch players from Hermione, some new quidditch gloves from Ginny, a variety of snacks and jokes from the twins and of course a blue knitted jumper with a green 'H' on the front of it from mum.

I looked at the end of my bed and saw gifts wrapped in all colors and patterns, with bows and ties. I picked up the presents from mum and the twins and got the same as Harry, although I got a big red 'R' on the front of my knitted jumper. I opened the present from Ginny and got a warm scarf, the one from Hermione was a book 'Quidditch, where it began.'

"Get up, get up everybody!" I heard mum call out from downstairs in her happy holiday voice.

Harry and I got up and walked down to greet the rest of the family and wish them a Merry Christmas. Fred and George were talking about the secret fire works stash they had in their room that they were going to set off tonight after dinner. Mum wouldn't be to happy but probably won't get angry at them because it's Christmas. That's most likely why their doing it tonight as well.

Ginny came down the stairs followed by Hermione. Hermione gave me a quick glance and looked down. They came walking over towards us to wishing us all Merry Christmas.

"Ron, can I talk to you?" Hermione asked me.

Harry looked at me confused and I said, "sure."

We walked outside even though it was snowing and we still only had our pajamas on.

"The present that you gave me… It was really sweet. I just wanted to say thank you so much, I'm going to keep it forever." She gave me a big hug.

"That's no problem Hermione," I smiled still hugging her. This was nice.

She broke away from the hug, "It is freezing out here! Let's go back inside."

We walked back inside and joined everyone at the dining table to eat the huge Christmas breakfast set out.

We had quite a fun day, we sat around the warm fire with hot chocolates just talking and laughing about anything and everything. I was already getting excited about the New Years party because everyone was talking about it. Maybe I would get my big chance… Christmas night we had a big roast dinner after that Harry and I were just sitting down in the living room when we were heard a huge crack outside. Fred and George. We got up and ran out into the winter cold night and there were magnificent fireworks in the air. They were all sorts of colors and there was even a huge dragon one. I looked around at everyone as they had all come rushing out to see what was happening and I couldn't take my eyes off Hermione. The lights that flickered off her face just made her look more beautiful then she already was. She saw me looking at her and gave me a big smile, I couldn't even move. She was stunning.
