"Thank you for helping me with the dishes y/n, now go off and get your snow stuff on, the boys are leaving soon", Molly says, drying her hands with a towel.

"You're welcome!" You reply before running up the stairs to Ginny's room.

You creak open the door to make sure you don't accidentally walk in on Ginny changing. You see her laying stomach down on her bed flipping through an old muggle magazine.

"Hey Gin, you coming sledding with us?" You ask her, reaching into your bag for your snow pants.

"I don't think so, I'm more of a sit by the fire and drink hot cocoa kinda person when it comes to winter activities", she replies, turning another page.

"Oh great, then it's just gonna be me and the boys", you say with a sarcastic eye roll.

The two of you laugh and you finish changing into your snow stuff. You're wearing a colorful kitted sweater, heavy jeans with your snow pants over top, a dark maroon winter coat and the matching knitted hat and gloves that Molly made you as an early Christmas welcome gift.

"How do I look?" You ask Ginny, jokily striking poses and making funny faces.

"Hideous", she replies with a chuckle.

You punch her arm and then stroll out the door and down to the living room to meet everyone else. Once you get down the stairs, you see Fred, George, Ron, Arthur and Percy waiting by the door. Fred and George are hitting each other with the sleds, Ron is sneaking leftovers from breakfast behind Molly's back and Arthur and Percy are having some sort of philosophical conversation.

"Okay is everyone ready?" Arthur asks, while breaking up Fred and George.

"Yep!" You reply with a smile and thumbs up.

"Yep", Ron says with an overly cheesy grin, obviously mocking you.

"Shut it pumpkin head", you say before heading towards the door.

Percy hands you an extra sled and you all walk outside onto the snow covered ground, towards the big hill. Through the group, George makes his way over to walk beside you.

"Just wait till you see the hill, it's huge! We sled down it every year", George says with eagerness.

You stretch your free hand out to his and interlock your fingers together, your gloved hand instantly warming up at the touch of his. Giving him a smile, you continue to walk towards the sledding spot with the others.

"Look! We're here!" You hear Fred yell, pointing his finger to the massive, steep hill in front of you.

Before you know it, Ron, Fred and George are all sprinting up the hill to the top. You decide to stay at the bottom with Percy and Arthur to walk back up with George once he's gone down.

"Here we come!" Fred and George yell before hopping on their sleds, belly down.

They both stick out their arms like penguins as their sleds start to pick up pace down the hill, screaming and woo-hooing on the way down. Once they reach the bottom, they immediately lash out in argument.

"I got to the bottom first!" George yells.

"No I did!" Fred yells in response.

"You were like two whole seconds behind me!".

"No I wasn't! I was two whole seconds ahead of you!".

They go on like this for a couple minutes until finally, you grab George's arm and drag him back up the hill. Once you reach the top, you notice it's a lot steeper than you thought, and gingerly take a step back.
