CHRISTMAS HAD to be Beatrice's favourite holiday. It was the one time of the year that brought a little bit of joy into everyone's life no matter the circumstance. Bee hadn't been raised religious but she still loved the holiday season, to her it was a time to spend with family & friends, to appreciate what she has in life and give back to those she loves.
Everyone else who'd be staying at Grimmauld Place for the two weeks was already there and Bee was excited to find out who'd be joining her for the break.
Charlotte came to collect Bee from the station and take her back to Grimmauld Place. "So who are we gonna be spending Christmas with?" Bee asked her sister.
"Well actually staying in the house there'll be me, you, Mr and Mrs Weasley, Fred, George, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Remus and Sirius. But Mum, Dad, Tonks and the rest of the order will pop in randomly." Charlotte explained.
"How come Mum and Dad aren't staying?"
"Not enough room" Charlotte said simply. "They're basically there all the time though, you won't really notice a difference."
~~~
"Hi Bee!" Fred jumped out of his seat when his girlfriend arrived, he kissed her cheek then panicked realising his parents were watching.
Luckily George had his back. "Hey Bee" George said before also kissing her cheek.
"Erm hi boys" Bee smiled at them awkwardly.
Beatrice caught up with the others in the house before Fred and George took her upstairs to show Bee her room.
"Thanks for saving our arses there" Bee joked.
"No problem, but you know you're gonna have to tell them soon. Our parents aren't thick."
"We should tell them tonight." Fred blurted.
"What? Isn't that a bit soon?" Bee asked.
"I think we should just go for it."
"Okay." Bee grinned. "Let's tell them at dinner."
Fred felt bad that his dad wouldn't be there to hear the news but he hoped that he'd be back soon.
"How's Mr Weasley?" Bee gulped.
"The healers think she should be okay to come back soon. He's not gonna be jumping around or anything but hopefully just being home will be good for him."
"That's great Freddie, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him."
The love birds' conversation was interrupted by the doorbell ringing, shortly followed by Mrs Black's screaming.
"What the-"
Bee stopped, hearing faint chatter coming from the other room. "Is that Hermione?"
"No, Ron said something about her going skiing."
"Maybe I'm just hearing things."
However when the two teens went downstairs for dinner they were surprised to find out that Bee had in fact been right. Hermione was staying for Christmas, something Fred thought Ron would've been very happy to hear.
Bee's parents, Mrs Weasley, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Harry, George, Fred, Charlotte, Sirius, Remus, Tonks and Bee all gathered round the dining room table for some of Molly's home made lentil soup.
"This is really good Molly" Bee smiled sincerely, trying to suck up to her boyfriend's mother.
"Thanks Beatrice, I really appreciate it."
"So Mum I have something to tell you" Fred gulped.
Mrs Weasley looked intrigued.
"Bee and I.." Fred took her hand. "Are officially boyfriend and girlfriend."
Ashleigh and Brian looked shocked while Mrs Weasley just frowned.
"About time you told me" Molly rolled her eyes. "Ronald sent me a letter to tell me."
Fred's eyes sent daggers to Ron. "Look Fred it was an accident, I saw you two kissing one night and I was annoyed cause I thought I was the only one who didn't know. I didn't mean to expose you."
"I'm gonna fucking kill you Ronnie" Fred stared at his younger brother.
"Language" Mrs Weasley yelled.
"Bee, what is going on?" Brian asked calmly.
"Fred and I are dating" Bee glanced at her mum. "And I just want your support."
"Bee, Honey, we're so sorry you couldn't tell us sooner. We support you 100%, even if you are dating a Weasley." Ashleigh chuckled.
"You know, we haven't spoken in so long I forgot what we fell out over" Molly said honestly.
"I forgot too" Ashleigh tried to keep her laugh in. "We should put this behind us, for the kids."
"Yeah, for the kids." The two women hugged.
"Well that was a fucking rollercoaster" Sirius whispered to Remus, who was chuckling.
~~~
The next few days were filled full of joy. Bee didn't know whether it was the Christmas spirit, the fact Mr Weasley was back, Sirius feeling happy to have others in the house or the fact her and Fred's parents had made up but something was spreading the positivity.
By the time Christmas day rolled around the teens were ecstatic. Bee and Charlotte were sharing a room but they had agreed to meet Fred and George in their room and open their Christmas presents as a group.
Bee had a large pile of gifts at the end of her bed so she lifted them up and went downstairs to Fred and George's room.
Beatrice grinned opening her first present, a muggle stationary set from Charlotte and Tonks. Next she opened a dainty silver necklace from Fred, a Divination book from George, a cute bracelet from her parents and some makeup from the rest of the Weasleys.
Bee always loved opening presents but it didn't compare to seeing the look on someone's face when they opened a gift you gave them. She watched Fred open her gift to him, a photo album filled with pictures of them and their friends and a broom cleaning kit for his quidditch broom.
Then she grinned as George opened the bag of Zonko's products she had given him and Charlotte opened the pair of jeans Bee had gotten her. The group of four exchanged thanks before going downstairs for breakfast.
Christmas was always Bee's favourite holiday, but spending it with so many people added that extra touch that made the day just that extra bit special.
