Fic: Choices (9)

Author's note: Eh,I decided to get all Christmassy early and post Part 9 of Choices before the year closes. I've got another chapter already written, but it needs some revising in my head, so I'm comfortable with posting it and hopefully I can start the next chapter some time soon - not this year, not with having time off and having kids around, it seems.:) This one was hard to write for me, because I find Hermione hard to write - I'm not too handy dealing with any of the female characters, save for Molly Weasley (well, I practically am Molly Weasley in my everyday life, I know what she's all about!). But it's done and I don't know how to do it better, so it is what it is - totally unbeta-ed, so you can get a full frontal view of my shameless abuse of English language. Merry Christmas, everyone! :)

Word count: 6785, this part
Pairing: Ron/Draco, some mention of Ron/Harry
Rating: Is there one for mushy? Nah, let's stay at R, though not this part, not really
Disclaimer: if you don't know whose it is, google it; not mine. Money - burn, baby, burn... never made any with this, never hope to - even if I did, it would end up back in the capitalist system, spent on some useless Chinese toys

MERRY CHRISTMAS, PEOPLE! :D

I wish us all (yes, myself included) a Merry Christmas and lots of family fun. Be with the ones you love. If you can't, then be with the ones that love you. If that's impossible as well, enjoy yourself (that's enjoying in the best company possible!), the silly TV programmes, the traditional food, the often-ignored greetings from a shop-assistant, who's been on her feet for too long for a pay that won't let her buy half the stuff you brought to the registry - and she still wishes her every customer to "HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!".:)
I wish you all lots of time to read and write and secure your daily dose of happiness and make yourself feel fulfilled!
In short - Merry Christmas!
