Dramione- Back at Hogwarts (Hermione's 7th Year)

Chapter 72- The Weasley's Christmas Eve Dinner (Part 1)

A/N:
I really want to finish this already, I know it's been too long and slow. I have so many stories I want to write but too lazy or busy to do so.

Thanks to those who have been reading my stories for sticking up with me, it means so much to see you comment and put a little star ⭐️ on my chapters, that actually helps me update when I'm not busy with my own Harry and Ron.

I promise to continue my stories since personally, I hate it when other authors don't finish theirs. I know the feeling when you like a story but it was left unfinished.

So let's continue...

The Malfoys with Hermione, Andromeda, and Teddy flooed to the Burrow at exactly six in the evening for the Weasley's annual Christmas Eve dinner.

The Black sisters with Teddy Lupin arrived first at the Weasley's fireplace and were greeted by Molly and Arthur. Then, Hermione and Draco came together afterwards, greeted too by the old Weasley couple.

Hermione Granger braced herself for her upcoming meeting again with her ex-boyfriend and best friend- Ronald. She has not replied to his letters, which were quite a handful considering it was not even a week since they last saw each other.

Draco Malfoy was quite stiff too, but was still polite to the Weasley couple. He would have to restrain himself for Hermione's sake when he meets the Weasel.

"Come on, let's head out to the gardens," Molly Weasley invited politely. "We are just waiting for a couple more guests and we will be starting dinner in a while," she informed them with a smile.

"I'll escort them, dear. You wait for Minerva and Kingsley," Arthur told his wife. He shared a knowing look with Molly. He was also apprehensive since Ron was already at the garden waiting with his siblings and other guests.

"Yes, please, Arthur, thank you," Molly replied to her husband, hoping that he will be able to handle their youngest son if he does something stupid again.

When their group arrived outside, Hermione saw that the Weasleys erected the huge tent they used for Bill and Fleur's wedding again. But instead of small circular tables from before, there was a huge square one with dozens of chairs surrounding it.

The seated group noticed the new arrivals as they neared the huge table. Most of them gave polite smiles and waves to the newly arrived guests.

"Hermione," Harry, standing up from his seat beside his girlfriend, Ginny, greeted his best friend with a grin.

"Happy Christmas, Harry," she replied, giving him a smile and a wave.

"To you too," he replied. "Draco," Harry greeted the blonde beside his best friend.

"Good evening, Harry," Draco replied with a nod towards him.

They heard a distinct displeased sound from Ginny's other side, which sat Ron. Ginny gave her brother a glare and a poke with her wand to sedate him, which worked instantly.

"Happy Christmas to all of you," Ginny greeted with a welcoming smile. "Teddy, come to Aunt Ginny," Ginny beckoned the baby as she stood up from her seat.

Teddy who was being carried by Andromeda, gurgled happily. "Ninny," he called to the redhead as he was passed to Ginny's outstretched arms. He suddenly changed his hair color to match the famous Weasley hair as he settled down between his godfather Harry, and Ginny.

"You may seat here, Andromeda and Narcissa," Arthur called the sisters, guiding them to the side were the older ones were to be seated.

"Thank you, Arthur," Narcissa replied as she sat down beside an empty seat designated for Molly Weasley.
