Ron loved Christmas. Food and people and presents, even if those presents included a handmade sweater that always seemed to clash with his hair. This year, though, there was a decidedly sombre edge to the atmosphere at the Burrow. He knew why--bloody hell, how could any of them not know why?--but he was determined to push past that place in the back of his mind that made him want to shut himself off.

He sank down on the couch with his mug of hot chocolate, stretching his legs so that his feet rested on the coffee table. His mum was in the kitchen, so she wouldn't notice.... He glanced that way, then thought better of it, putting them flat on the floor again.
