"You've ever stuffed a stocking before?"
He shook his head.
"Ever?" Her oh-so-famous look of disbelief etched onto her face. "Not even when you were a little kid? Did your mother ever tell you to help her stuff the stockings and keep a secret as to whose present is whose? Did she not tell you that if you did, you'd get an extra present? Didn't she?"
He shook his head again, this time noticeably amused.
"Then what Christmas traditions do you have in your family?"
He blinked. It wasn't a question that he had thought over before. "I don't know. We, uh, donate a lot of galleons to charity, exchange presents, eat turkey?"
Rose gaped. Then she shook her head slightly to rid herself of disbelief. "You've been missing out! I don't care. You must come with me to the Burrow tonight. Stocking stuffing is on the to-do list."

Scorpius licked his lips and twirled the box between his fingers, "I don't know, Mrs. Weasley… Do you think Mr. Weasley will kill me?"
Hermione laughed. "Don't worry, I'll protect you."
They sat in silence for a moment, in which Scorpius contemplated over his decisions.
"Just do it."
He nodded and walked into the living room, where countless stockings (that could only be told apart by the names stitched on by their Grandma Molly) were hanging on the fireplace and put the box into Rose's stocking.
-----
"Thanks for the sweater, Grandma Molly! The colour compliments my eyes." Albus laughed as Rose swot him on the arm.
"Have you checked yours yet?" Victoire asked Rose.
Rose grinned and poured out the items in her stocking. "I love the mittens, Grandma Molly, and the rubber duck too, Grandpa Arthur." She chuckled. He always gave the funniest presents. "Oh!"
Rose held the black velvet box in her hand, her lips slightly parted in shock.
Scorpius stifled his own grin and tried to look nonchalant.
"Is that what I think it is?" Roxanne exclaimed.
Rose blinked and didn't answer.
"It depends, really," Scorpius intervened, "If she says 'yes', it's a wedding ring; if she says 'no', it's a promise ring. I'm not forcing her."
"Scorpius Malfoy, that was the worst proposal I've heard my whole life."
"But it's the only one that you'll agree to, hopefully?"
She smiled in answer.
-----
"So what do you think about stuffing stockings now?" she asked.
He grinned. "Best thing that ever happened in my life."
