Christmas is always interesting. But it's completely different now that I have a kid of my own. Bright and early Narcissa woke up the house declaring now is the time for us to have Mikey open his presents. That we need to get used to being woke up at the crack of dawn on Christmas.

  "Up up up!" Narcissa yells from the door, "you'll ruin your child's first Christmas!" She runs off and I look over to my husband. Deep bags under my eyes. We had stayed up late finishing getting together his presents. All because Narcissa kept saying he didn't have enough.

"He's 6 months old he won't even notice," Draco groans, "ten more minutes."

"Up!" She yells from down the hall. I growl as I pull myself from the bed. Shuffling over to pull my robe over my pajamas. Draco still laying in the warm bed groans loudly.

"He won't even realise let me sleep," he whines.

"You know she won't leave it alone," I tell him, "be smart about this." He sighs finally standing from the mass of blankets. He too yanks his robe on then we both move down stairs to the living room. Once there we see Mikey already positioned in his little chair with boxes surrounding him. "This is too much."

"We are rich let's just enjoy spoiling him," Draco says as he wraps his arm around my waist. "Mum you want to help him or can we."

"Y/n get over here and help him. Draco sit beside them I want pictures," Narcissa orders. I comply moving over and pulling Mikey into my lap. Draco sits beside me pulling me into a pose as his parents snap pictures of us. Going on and on about how adorable we are. "My boy all grown up! And his family. Look at you three."

"Honey," Lucius says softly, "can we let the baby start at the presents so we can go back to bed."

"Fine fine," she says, "well hand him one of the Santa presents." Draco pulls one of the neatly wrapped presents towards him and moves mikey's hand to grip the paper. Mikey pulls revealing a box. Draco lifts open the box to show the baby the stuffed niffer. He babbles excitedly. We can't expect much more. He pulls it from his father towards himself. I smile.

"You like that Mikey?" I ask knowing I won't get much of a response. Draco pulls another box and helps Mikey pull of the baby. Another stuffed creature is revealed. This time it's a firecrab. We move through the boxes rather quickly as the baby smiles and babbles cheerfully. He sits in my lap with his new bear as Draco opens my gift to him.

"Oh love this is great," he says to me with a bright smile. He looks over the signed Weird Sisters récord excitedly. "Oh this is going to be played on repeat."

"I figured as much," I say to him. He moves to the next one and pulls it open to reveal the Muggle studies book he's wanted. He smiles then leans over pecking my cheek. "Keep opening them!"

"I will!" He says chuckling slightly. He moves through the next couple. Each earning bright smiles. At his last one he looks to me with a big smile. "You are so good to me."

"I know," I say chuckling lightly. I pull the box he's shoved towards me open. I see a framed jersey of mine with a collection of tickets and articles about me. "'Ireland's star'?" I read out, "this is so cool. Thanks love!"

"Keep opening them!"

I'm not disappointed. I never am with him. My favourite gift is the picture he commissioned of me, him, and Mikey. It's abordable and i quickly fix it on the wall. Next his parents open their gifts. They are just as excited. After an hour of opening gifts we all move to the kitchen where Finn and his friends Roise and Merlin had fixed a large Christmas breakfast. I smile at them as I place down their Christmas bonuses. They smile as they join us at the table for the meal. As we eat the conversation around the table starts up cheerfully. I look over them all and smile brightly. I'm thankful for them. For all of my family and friends. I'm thankful that it worked out with Draco. It feels so unreal. I get to spend everyday with my childhood love. We have a family. It's unreal.

"You ready for go back to work after the new year?" Narcisa asks me.

"Yep," I tell her, "my first order of business is the Order of Remus."

"It'll be great," Draco says, "you've got a bunch of support already. Once you present this it'll be golden."

"I hope so," I say as I stir the sugar into my tea, "I mean I know the ministry has wanted some protections for werewolves before but still. It's very easy for them to turn it down."

"But they've wanted this for a while," Narcissa says, "so this should give them the steps to go ahead with it." 

"I'm just afraid they won't listen to me," I tell them, "it's easy to ignore the girl who's trying to change everything."

"Not with a name like yours," Lucius says as he looks up from his plate, "they can't ignore one of the saviours of the wizarding world."

"He's right," Draco says, "they know you. And they know all you want is what's best for the wizarding world. Something not everyone can say about themselves." I smile at him. Feeling a bit awkward that the entire conversation is on me. Narcissa moves the conversation to the babbling baby. 

After breakfast Draco and I move to get ourselves and the baby ready to go to the burrow. It takes way too long to get the baby ready. 

"Mikey baby can you please just let us get you dressed?" I ask him as Draco uses his wand to repair the clothes Mikey keeps burning. "Well at least we know he has enough magic to get into Hogwarts."

"Yeah he reminds us of this about every day," Draco says sighing lightly, "I mean seriously he burns everything and if its on the ground he floats it. He's too powerful for his own good."

"It'll be great when he gets older," I tell him as I finally convince the baby to let me dress him, "come on Mikey we are gonna go see the Weasley's!" I scoop the baby into my arms. Draco quickly leads me down the stairs knowing that if we wait he'll throw a fit. We shout goodbyes to his parents as we both hop into the fireplace using floo to travel at once. As we appear in the burrow Mikey starts to whimper. "Oh I knew he was gonna lose it. He hates travelling by floo."

"I've got him," Molly says moving towards me, "come on come to Grandma Molly." She pulls him away and he automatically calms down. 

"Good to know I carried him for nine months only for him to like everyone else more than me," I say looking to Draco.

"Yeah 3 am feeding times and all the times he's thrown up on me," Draco says, "and he barely likes us." 

"How do you think we feel?" Fleur asks me, "my kids like you more then me." I chuckle lightly looking to them. I smile at the Weasleys around me. I look to Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny and smile at them.

"Don't have kids," I tell them. They chuckle lightly. "It's a trap. But mommy loves her little trap."

"We baby talk more than we normally talk," Draco says clearly distressed about that. 

"He's being dramatic," I say to them, "anyways Happy Christmas guys!" I move pulling them into tight hugs. 

"Happy Christmas," Hermione says to me, "we have to talk about order Remus."

"Hermione relax you don't have to be all business," Ron starts. She waves him off. I move pulling her around the corner. 

"Alright whats up?" I ask her.

"They moved the presentation up. January 2nd," She tells me.

"What? That's too soon," I tell her, "I'm not even supposed to start until the 7th."

"I know I know," She tells me, "that's why I wanted to warn you. You are your team haven't practiced this together yet."

"Well I'm not pulling them away from their families," I tell her. I tap anxiously then a bright smile forms across my face. "Lets teach it to Ron and Harry. They can give a testimony to how Lupin was. I'll write to my team. If they can make it then we role with their presentations."

"I'll start Ron on it tonight," She tells me, "and I'll get Harry prepared." 

"Fine," I tell her, "if this doesn't pass-"

"It will," She says to me. I nod sighing lightly.

"Guys its time for gifts!" Molly calls. I move off pulling the baby from her arms as we all shuffle into our spaces. Molly sorts gifts out. Between what each of us kids brought and what she and Arthur got with their now empty house funds its a large group of presents. Something that definitely got the kids excited. Teddy and Victorie are practically bouncing at the number of boxes in their pile. As we start unwrapping Percy leans over to my side. 

"Let me help with your presentation," He whispers as he helps his daughter unwrap her gift, "I know they moved it up. I can have something prepared tonight."

"Pays to know someone so smart," I say smirking at him lightly, "I'd appreciate your help then."

"Love look at the tiny Weasley sweater!" Draco exclaims. I look over and smile brightly as he pulls the green sweater on the baby. Its a good distraction. I need to step back. Focus on my family first. It's Christmas. I need to relax. 

"Ma ma!" Mikey exclaims. I look down at the baby with wide eyes.

"Did he just say ma ma?" I ask Draco.

"Oh my god he said ma ma," Draco says.

"Is that his first word?" Charlie asks us. I nod excitedly.

"Yes!" Draco and I squeal.

"Aw its his Christmas present to you," Ginny says, "that's cute." 

"Awe Mikey," I say as tears start in my eyes, "aren't you just the cutest little thing."

"This was an amazing Christmas," Draco says as he wraps his arms around Mikey and I.

"It really was wasn't it."
