Harry looked out over the snowy field, with the moonlight glowing an unearthly pale silver over the ice and the fences and the trees and the melee of footballs, play sets, wooden carts, and no end of other stuff littered about the yard of The Burrow. His eyes drifted up to the full moon, and realized that, despite the (now seemingly ever-present) clutch in the pit of his stomach, despite the fear that prickled along the back of his shoulders, and despite the chill that permeated his bones, he was, of all things, happy. Certainly happier than ever when he stared at that selfsame moon from the Dursley's front window on any Christmas eve, huddled next to the lush Christmas tree piled high with gifts for Dudley, and only a few for him. "You're a piece of work, you are, Potter," he whispered to himself. "Happy, are you? Happy with evil and destruction? With Dementors and dark armies lurking at every turn? Knowing that Voldemort himself is out there, gathering his forces to defeat all you hold dear?" He hugged himself closer, then heard the door creak behind him, and a swell of enthusiastic if off-key singing spilled out.

"Harry? Harry? Come in, won't you? We're singing Christmas carols." He turned to see Ginny, reaching toward him, gesturing him toward the open door. "Someday sooon our troublessss will be out of siiiiiiiight, So have yourself, a merry little Christmas nowwwwww," warbled, grunted, trilled, and shouted the various voices inside the house. With a smile, Harry moved toward Ginny and into the warm embrace of the people inside.
