Fighting For True Love

Chapter 18- Christmas at Hogwarts

Hogwarts was a winter wonderland when it came time for the students to leave for Christmas. The only students that were staying behind were Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco and Ginny. The D.A members all promised to keep their guard up and the members that were of age promised to practice, while the younger ones promised to practice the physical fighting that Severus had taught them.

Hermione woke up on Christmas Eve and looked over at her sleeping husband. He looked so child like when he slept.

‘I love him so much. I’m worried about the fight that is fast approaching. I won’t be at his side to help him. At least Lucius will be there, as well as our friends, the staff and the D.A. I can’t lose him. I pray everything will work out.’ Hermione thought as she climbed out of bed to take a hot bath.

Since she was near the end of her pregnancy, her back had begun hurting more and more. She found herself taking a hot bath every chance she got just to ease her back pains. She relaxed as the hot water eased her aching muscles.

Severus awoke to find himself alone in bed. He sat up rubbing his eyes when he heard the water sloshing in the tub. He felt bad for Hermione. There were many times that they would have dinner in their chambers because she was too sore to walk up to the Great Hall for dinner.

“Morning Severus.” Hermione said as she exited the bathroom, dressed for the day.

“Morning love. How did you sleep?” Severus asked as he hugged and kissed her.

“I slept all right. It’s getting harder and harder for me to get comfortable. I think you bed is just way to soft for me.” she answered with a smile.

Severus chuckled as he entered the bathroom to take a shower. Hermione went into the sitting room. Ten minutes later Severus walked out wearing black slacks, an emerald green sweater, black boots and his hair was pulled back into a pony tail.

“Let’s go get some breakfast.” he said as he guided his wife toward the Great Hall.

“Morning you two.” Harry greeted as they sat down across from him.

“Morning. Pass the coffee would you Ron.” Severus greeted.

“What are you guys going to do today?” Hermione asked.

“Hagrid has challenged me, Harry, Ron and Ginny to a snowball fight after breakfast. Want to come watch?” Draco answered.

“You think I would miss out on watching Hagrid beat you guys in a snowball fight? Of course I’ll be there. Severus? Lucius? What about you two?” she asked.

“I think I’ll join in against Hagrid. Severus?” Lucius said with a grin.

“I think I’ll join too. It’s been far too long since I’ve enjoyed a snowball fight.” Severus replied with a devilish smile.

“All right!” Draco cried.

“We might actually stand a chance now!” Ginny said with a smile.

Harry and Ron, who had their mouths full nodded with excitement. After breakfast the group headed for Hagrid’s where he stood waiting.

“Ready to be beaten?” Hagrid asked.

“Severus and I will be joining. Just to make things even.” Lucius said.

“Fine. The more the merrier. How you feeling Hermione?” Hagrid asked.

“I’m ready to have this baby all ready, but other than that I’m fine.” Hermione answered with a smile as she rubbed her belly.

Hermione sat on the porch, while casting a heating charm around herself and watched as everyone got ready. She yelled go and the snowball war began. Hermione laughed as her friends and husband got hit time after time by Hagrid’s snowballs. True with Lucius and Severus they were holding their own, but Hagrid was still winning. After an hour the war came to an end. Hagrid won. Hermione laughed as Severus approached her brushing snow out of his hair. He sat down with a sigh beside her.

“Have fun?” she asked sweetly.

“Yeah. I can’t remember the last time if ever, I enjoyed playing in the snow.” he answered as he kissed her.

“Good. Because you’ll be out playing a lot more once Piper’s old enough.” she said.

The group soon headed back in to warm up and eat lunch. After lunch Severus, Hermione and Lucius headed to the dungeons for tea, while Draco, Harry, Ginny and Ron went for a rematch against Hagrid.

“Are you two ready to be parents?” Lucius asked.

“I can’t wait.” Hermione answered.

“I’m scared, but excited.” Severus replied.

“Everything will be fine Severus. You’ll see.” Lucius said as he patted his old friend’s shoulder.

That night Severus and Hermione passed out right after dinner. Before they knew it, they heard pounding on their chamber door.

“Wake up sleepy heads!” Draco cried as he, Harry and Ron knocked on the door.

“Remind me to put your godson in a full body bind.” Hermione grumbled as she got up.

“Gladly.” Severus mumbled.

“You are so dead after I have Piper Malfoy.” Hermione teased as she opened the door.

“Oh what are you gonna do? Make me baby sit?” Draco asked.

“No. You’ll have diaper duty.” Severus answered.

Everyone laughed at the disgusted look on Draco’s face. They sat around the sitting room and exchanged gifts. Ginny got Severus a set a potion vials and Hermione was given a new set of quills. Harry got them a certificate for dinner for two at the best restaurant in London. After he promised to watch Piper for them. Ron gave them each a gift certificate for their favorite shops in Diagon Alley. Draco gave Severus a silver necklace with a Slytherin Crest charm and he gave Hermione a silver charm bracelet.

Hermione gave Harry, Ron, and Draco each a book on the latest Quidditch moves. She gave Ginny a traveling cloak with the Gryffindor crest on the front. For Severus she got him a silver picture frame that had a picture of them on their wedding day. She also had ‘I will love you with all of my heart. Love always your faithful wife, Hermione.’

Severus got Draco a necklace as well with a double sided charm. One side was the Malfoy family crest and the other was the Black family crest in memory of his mother. For Harry and Ron he gave them certificates to the Quidditch shop in Diagon Alley. For Ginny she received a necklace with a pendent of her birth stone and matching bracelet. For his wife he gave her a beautiful necklace with a moonstone pendent, matching earrings and bracelet. After the gifts they headed upstairs for breakfast.

The holidays passed quickly. All too soon the students returned and they realized that soon the war between the Light and the Dark would come to an end.
