Challenge: Ron and Hermione elope, but have to face their family and friends afterwards.
Title: Home for the Holidays
Summary: After four long years of searching for horcruxes and fighting, Harry, Ron and Hermione come home for Christmas.
Warning: Christmas mush, snoggage, and a few scandalous gifts.
Word Count: 18,278 (yes, you read that right. )
Rating: R
Notes: I have yet to do a challenge piece that was under 15,00 words and this was no exception. . .le sigh. This story was my first stab at post HBP canon and I did have fun with it (obviously.) I'm just sorry it took me so long to finish, but since it is a Christmas piece, I wanted to get it up for the holiday. Also, you might want to know that I used this picture drawn by the talented leelastarsky as my image of what I wanted Ron and Hermione's wedding picture to look like. I always thought it looked like a wedding picture and this challenge was the perfect place to put that amazing picture into an actual story. leelastarsky was kind enough to give me permission to use her drawing as their wedding picture and I hope she's not disappointed by the outcome because my muse certainly did wild things when it was forced to come up with a reason for Ron having long hair and a beard (not to mention an incredibly buff body.) Thanks as always to my wonderful betas, seakays and mrspadf00t1. This was a monster to beta!
