Tonks's POV
The snow was falling delicately, a perfect Christmas eve. I bundled up to face the cold. I paused as I was leaving to look at my apartment. It was decorated with tinsel and holly and mistletoe and anything else Christmasy. A tree was crammed into a corner and was decorated lavishly. I smiled, excited, and left.
Going to headquarters nearly gave me frostbite. I shivered as I entered it and hung up my coat, hat, scarf, and gloves. Immediately, I could smell Molly's cookies. I smiled and entered the kitchen.
"Wotcher, Merry Christmas," I said, sitting down to eat. Dinner was delicious. Everyone just hung out afterwards and then the kids went to bed.
We adults were sitting in the living room, listening to the radio. I had a good time. Laughing, I watch a contest between Remus and Sirius involving how many cookies they could stuff in their mouths. I feel Remus would have won, if he hadn't given up. Molly and Arthur headed to bed, since they were tired. Sirius eventually went up too, saying he was 'tired.' I didn't believe him, but I was still grateful.
Me and Remus danced around to the radio for a few more hours. We snogged a little too. I was exhausted, but I didn't want to leave Remus.
Remus's POV
This Christmas was wonderful. I had an amazing time with Nymphadora. She fell asleep as we were waltzing, so I carried her up to her bed and tucked her in. She looked so peaceful. Sometimes I worry if I'm doing the right thing by dating, but one look at Nymphadora convinces me I am.
