Own Nothing.

Seventeen:

She sat on the couch in the Burrow as everyone opened up their gifts on Christmas morning. She and Teddy had just made it the night before before everyone went to bed and now they were there for presents. She smiled as Teddy showed her his new broom as she drank a cup of hot coco. She was wrapped up in a blanket and held a pillow close to her as she watched everyone else smiling.

She really missed Alan. They had a short, small Christmas at Sarah Jane's before they left and they didn't exchange gifts between each other because it was mostly for the kids. But not she kind of regretted it. She looked around at her friends and their loved ones, holding each other as their kids opened up presents, she wanted that.

It made her sad.

Later that night they all sat around the fire after dinner, tired and warm, not wanting to get up to go to bed. They were telling stories of the past, some fun and some sad. Hermione looked around, blinking out of her tired state when she realized Teddy and Bill were gone. "Where did Teddy and Bill go?"

Harry looked up at Hermione and shrugged. "They went out a couple hours of go. I think they needed a stretch. To many smells."

"Yes, you're probably right. I was just getting worried." Hermione settled back into the couch, her blanket covering her as she fell into a light doze, she was aware for the most part of she was to tired to understand most of it. It felt like only a second and she opened her eyes again to see Teddy in front of her. "Hey you're back." She smiled as she sat up. "Where'd you go?" She asked as she stretched, Teddy helping her stand up. She was still being taken care of, though she found later that Harry never did tell Mrs. Weasly and she was thankful.

"I had to get you the perfect christmas gift." He smiled.

"Teddy I told you being safe and perfect grades on your term report is the only thing I wanted."

"But it isn't the only thing I wanted to give you." He smiled, spinning her around.

She almost fell from the force of her son and she went forward, but she was caught. She looked up to see Alan's face. "Alan." She left out in a soft whispered, tears forming in her eyes.

"Happy Christmas love." He whispered, kissing her softly.

"Happy Christmas." She whispered back. "How did you get here?"

"Teddy and Uncle Bill came and got us." She looked to see Maria there to. "We're a family. We should spend Christmas together."

"We are. And we should." She reach out with her arms and grabbed Teddy and Maria, pulling them into a hug. "We're a family."

"Well almost a family." Alan whispered, pulling apart from the hug. Hermione watched as he kneeled on one knee. "Hermione Jane Granger. Our children on a regular basis save the world with our next door neighbor. We've had a child and lost it. We've been through so much. And I know we should be together forever." He pulled out a ring from his pocket, it was just a small, silver band with a small garnet on it.

She smiled, using her wand to call a small box from her jacket. "I was going to do this when we got back, because you were taking forever." She kneeled in front of him, opening the box. "I'm not very traditional Alan, I catch very bad people and I'm constantly in dangers way. I'm lucky if someone isn't trying to kill me on a daily basis. But I love you, and I want to be with you, to try and have another child together. Only with you. No one else." She handed him the ring. "If I marry you, will you marry me?"

He smiled, a small laugh escaping. "It's a deal." He slipped her ring on her finger as she did the same to him. "Here we go."

Hermione laughed as they stood up, kissing each other. "Mrs. Hermione Jackson. It has a nice ring to it."

"Does it ever." Maria smiled, hugging her new brother and step-mother. "Happy Christmas." She stated as everyone clapped.
