"Arthur, it's Charlie," mum said turning to let Charlie in. He had a tiny woman next to him. "We didn't expect you until next week, this is a pleasant surprise!" Charlie smiled and walked over to the table where everyone was scrambling to get up and hug him.
"Good luck," Charlie said picking me up. He hugged me really tight and I thought I was going to burp out my stomach. When he finally put me down, he turned to Harry and clapped him on the back unnaturally hard. Ah well.
Soon there were two new chairs and everyone was talking quietly about the upcoming weddings.
"Everyone, I would like you to meet Emily," Charlie said with a smile. We all smiled and got up and hugged her. She kind of looked scared. We're not going to lunge at her. Crap, calm down. Once everyone sat down again there was more chatter.
"Well let's see, Ginny and Harry are getting married this spring and you are getting married….?" mum asked letting her sentence trail off so Charlie could finish it. I had finally told my parents about their engagement. Or really what happened was Hermione found it and literally twisted my arm around until I told them. Normally I would have kicked her in the stomach but she is having a baby. She is really abusing the fact that I cant topple on top of her and kill her if I wanted to.
"We were thinking in a couple of years or so," Charlie said not looking up. He was busy shoveling food into his mouth. "I really missed this."
"A couple of years?" mum asked looking heartbroken. Like she doesn't have another wedding to worry about. I am getting married in like six months!
"Yeah, we met on the camp, and when we finish work there we thought we would come back here and get married," Charlie said looking at mum with a defiant glare in his eye.
"So Emily, where are you usually from?" I asked trying to stop a major blowout.
"London," Emily answered looking relieved. "My parents still live there."
"Oh, and you met Charlie on the campsite?" I asked again. Why wasn't she talking more?
"Yeah, we both tried and shoot down the same dragon," Emily said fondly.
"Of course," I said nodding. Whatever.
"How did you two meet?" Emily asked me.
"He saved me from Voldemort," I said taking a bite of food.
"How nice," Emily said looking at Harry. "You're Harry Potter?"
"Yes," Harry said guardedly. He didn't like when people flipped out and asked for autographs.
"You look smaller," Emily said shrugging. I snorted into my goblet and got a glare shot at me from Harry.
"Thank you," Harry said frowning. I think that may be the first time anyone had ever called him small.
After dinner everyone gathered around the tree to open presents. I handed each present to a person, luckily I had bought extras. You know if you're in a store and scarves are like two for twenty, and you buy like ten? Well that is what I did and now I have one for Emily. Ha ha.
Emily loooooooooooooooved the scarf. She couldn't stop harping about it. I received a filthy look from Hermione tried to get my attention like a zillion times before I told her to shut it. She looked down at her hands and then tried to get me to walk her into the bathroom. I do not do bathroom duty. That is for the husband or best friend.
Crap, Hermione just pointed out that I am the best friend. That means I have to help her into the bathroom unless I can get her lazy husband to do it.
"Ron," I called across the room. He looked up from his chess game and nodded at me to let me know I had half of his attention .
"Take your wife to the bathroom!" I hissed to him.
"No you," Ron said looking down at his pieces.
"Ron take your wife into the bathroom," I said more firmly this time like I meant it.
"No, you do it. I am playing a game," Ron said also more firmly.
"You knocked her up, that means you get you haul her fat ass off the toilet seat," I snapped pulling him up by his ear. "He'll be right back," I said to George who looked disgusted. He nodded and rearranged his pieces.
Ron grumbled and called me very rude names as he gently lifted Hermione up and escorted her into the bathroom. I smiled and sat down next to Harry again. Once again he had a Christmas card in his hand.
"You have family," Harry said resting his head on my shoulder.
"I do. Look at them," I said almost fondly at my family. George was cheating in chess, Ron was standing at the bathroom door looking angrily at George, Fred was attempting to put a mistletoe over Crookshanks and Fleur, Bill was fighting with my mother about his hair, and Charlie had whipped cream all over his nose, Percy was doing work next to the fire.
Harry nodded sadly.
"I have no one," Harry said almost sadly. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with him until I realized he sounded like he was slurring. I looked around at everyone and saw their behavior was more unusual. Mum and dad were making out on the couch, Charlie and Emily were laughing hysterically at his nose.
"Are you drunk?" I hissed at him.
"Obviously!" Harry said loudly. "Can we go to bed?"
I nodded and kissed everyone goodnight. There were catcalls and whistles. I knew everyone was drunk when my mother said nothing. Totally unlike her.
Once upstairs Harry turned to me.
"Why are you marrying me?" Harry asked looking me in the eyes.
"I love you," I said simply.
"Why?" Harry asked firmly.
"Because, you are the nicest person I know, you are sweet, funny, sexy, kind," I said listing them.
"You forgot smart," Harry said distractedly.
"Right," I said hastily. I really didn't forget, he was smart but not Hermione smart.
"Why are you in love with me?" Harry asked again.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked feeling slightly panicky.
"I just want to know," Harry said still looking at me.
"Why, I love you. That is all you need to know," I said firmly.
"Alright," Harry said.
"Why are you marrying me?" I asked.
"Because you are always horny," Harry answered. For a second I couldn't tell if he was kidding. He was. "I love you and that is all you need to know," Harry said mimicking me. I giggled and lay into his chest.
"George spiked the nog," I said.
"I figured," Harry answered.
"I am so sleepy!" I groaned.
"I cant wait to show you your present," Harry said smiling. Soon I felt my eye lids getting heavy and I was soon sleeping.
