Hermiones POV

I smiled at the shocked faces of Ginny and Harry. They had just opened their gift from me. They never got to have their actual honeymoon, so I paid for them to have a vacation to Bora Bora. Ginny only spoke about it a bazillion times. Ginny squealed jumping to her feet. Next thing I know, I'm tackled to the ground.

"Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!" She screamed in my ear. I just laughed as Harry pulled her off of me.

"Thank you Mione," he smiled hugging me after helping me off the floor.

"You're welcome," I laughed. Once they sat back down on their spot of the floor, I sat back in my spot. I was currently leaning against the couch as gifts were exchanged. I hadn't spoken much to Charlie since we were cornered about the newspaper. 'Speak of the devil' I thought as he came bounding down the stairs.

"Sorry, I was a bit busy," he says walking over toward me. "Can I sit behind you?" It's then I noticed that was the only spot left in the room. I simply nodded and leaned forward to give him access to the seat. "Thank you."

"Of course," I said quietly to him. His hands grabbed my shoulders and pulled me back. Now I was leaning on his legs. He spread his legs farther apart so I'd fall right in between them and not have knees at my back. I didn't argue with the arrangement. His hands didn't leave my shoulders, in fact, he began rubbing my shoulders and my neck. I hummed in approval as he worked at the knotted muscles. Now this is relaxing.

"Here you go Ron & Lavender, this one is from Mione," Fred said handing a package to the couple. Even if I didn't want to give her a gift, I still had to get Ron one. I always get the couples gifts instead of one for each person, its just easier that way.

"Ooo I wonder where we are going," Lavender said wiggling her eyebrows at me. I furrowed mine. 'What did she mean by that?' When she opened the box, I could see the disappointment.

"Awesome! Thanks Mione this is great!" Ron said pulling the gadgets out of the box. Ron had found interest in muggle kitchen gadgets about a year ago. Lavender liked a few of them, so that's what I decided to get them. Lavender still hadn't said anything. "Lav, shouldn't you tell Mione thank you? These are so cool! I can't wait to try them when we get home!"

"Thank her?!" Lavender screeched. I flinched slightly and Charlie tightened his hands on my shoulders. Ron just looked as confused as the rest of us. "She bought your sister tickets to a tropical island and we get stupid gadgets?!" Ah so that's what this is about. She wanted a free vacation. I rolled my eyes.

"Lav, Ginny and Harry didn't get a honeymoon. Mione bought them those tickets so they would finally go. Of course it will be after the baby is born, but I helped her pick the place they would go." Oh now you've done it Ronald.

"YOU KNEW SHE WAS BUYING THEM TICKETS TO BORA BORA AND DIDNT THINK TO MENTION WE WOULD LIKE TO GO?!"

"Lavender," Ron stood using her whole name instead of Lav. "You need to apologize to Mione and my entire family right now. You are out of line." I sat shocked. Ron never really stood up for us that much when it came to her. I guess she finally broke the last straw.

"Excuse me?" Lavender scoffed. She stood to her feet stomping them in the process. "Ron we are leaving. Now." She started walking to the floo when Ron snapped.

"You know what, yeah we are leaving. We are going to my house so you can pack all your shit and leave!" Gasps were heard all around.

"What?" Lavender asked turning back around.

"You heard me. You're packing your shit and leaving my house. We are getting a divorce Lavender! I'm sick and tired of your attitude, the way you treat my family, and the way you treat me. I'm done. We are over!" Charlie's hands tightened on my shoulders again. I felt as if my eyes would pop out of head if I widened them anymore.

Lavender didn't say anything else, she started crying and ran to the floo. Ron shot us an apologetic smile and followed her. Well this is a Christmas we won't ever forget.

"Well, who's next?" Fred asked trying not to laugh. I leaned my head back on Charlie's thigh. He looked down and made a face. I bit my lip trying to contain my giggle. His smile dropped as his hand came up to my face. He pulled my lip from my teeth, but didn't move his hand immediately. He leaned down slowly.

"Excuse me lovebirds." It's like we were snapped out of a trance. We both looked up to see the twins smirking at us. Molly just looked happily at us.

"Hey Mione, can I borrow you for a minute?" Charlie asked. I looked up from Ginnys magazine and nodded. We had finished exchanging gifts about an hour ago. Now we were all just sitting around enjoying each other's company. Charlie nodded toward the stairs. I stood from my seat and followed him. He stopped in front of his door, turning back to smile at me. "I have a surprise."

"Oh really?" I asked raising a brow. He grinned down at me. "Are you going to let me in?" I asked getting excited.

"Yes, but first," he said grabbing me by the waist. He pulled me to his chest. He leaned down, ghosting his lips against mine. I tangled my hands in his hair and pulled him down completely. It felt as if I was on fire with his lips on mine. So many emotions swirled through my head. He pulled away all too soon. I whined at the loss of contact. "We will continue that, but I need to show you your surprise."

"Okay," I said crossing my arms. He twisted his doorknob and opened his door. I gasped at the sight in front of me. One the floor was blankets and pillows, candles lit surrounding the room, and a small table near the window with flowers and food. It was like a romantic scene out of a movie. I smiled throwing my arms around Charlie's neck. He chuckled wrapping me in arms.

"Merry Christmas beautiful," he said near my ear. I pulled back and grabbed his face bringing his lips to mine.
