Chapter 5 'Granger?' A voice announced, interrupting her thoughts. Her eyes darted up and met with steely grey ones. She quickly turned on the spot and ran out of the bathroom, completely forgetting her full bladder. All thoughts were on Draco Malfoy, and his tear filled eyes. |

Chapter 6 Hermione shook her head when she realised how much of her time was now taken up thinking about Draco Malfoy. Just as the thought crossed her mind there was a tap at her dormitory window. It was the school owl, carrying Harry's reply... |

Chapter 8 She entered the common expecting to find it empty as the others had gone to bed earlier, but was surprised to find Draco there. He hadn't noticed Hermione come in, he was staring intently at the fire, watching a piece of parchment burn. She was about to say hello when she noticed the silent tears falling down his face... |

Chapter 9 "Hermione?" She looked over at him, "I forgot to say...love your costume." Hermione swore she saw him wink before disappearing into his bedroom. |

Chapter 13 "Goodnight Hermione." He turned away and then back again, kissed her on the cheek and then headed to his bedroom. Hermione went in the opposite direction, lightly touching the place on her cheek that was still tingling from Draco's kiss. |

Chapter 14 "Half an hour into it and I already know this is going to be the best Christmas ever. I should go back to the guest room though, if I don't leave now I'm afraid your parents will find me in here tomorrow morning." |

Chapter 17 They walked back to their dorm, hand in hand, both in their clothes from the night before. The castle was empty as the staff and students were all having breakfast in the great hall...at least, that's what Hermione and Draco thought. Unfortunately for them, someone had heard them approaching the entrance to the seventh year common room, someone had heard them thanking each other for a perfect night and had hidden behind a suit of armour as they passed. When they had given the password and entered the common room, she stepped out f |

Chapter 18 She saw Ginny's face and heard her asking what had happened. That was the last thing she remembered before collapsing on the hard marble floor of the Entrance Hall. |

Chapter 19 She finally crawled into the comfort of her bed after an extremely long day. The tears she had held in since that morning free to fall down her face and continue until she drifted off to sleep. |

Chapter 20 "Miss Granger?" Hermione turned to face her. "You're wrong about Draco. He does love you." She said simply as Hermione disappeared down the moving spiral staircase. |

Chapter 21 "I'm sorry, she used to floo system to travel to St Mungos before I could explain. She left in a hurry, I'm sure she'll come back equally as fast when she realised you are no longer there Mr Malfoy..." |

Chapter 22 As he turned on his heel to pace in the other direction, the flames in the fireplace turned a bright green and a robed figure rotated into it. Draco heard a shriek and then, before he had a chance to speak, two arms, Hermione's arms, were wrapped around him, so tightly he could barely breathe. He ran his hands down her shoulders and around the back of her, not quite believing she was there, and buried his head in her wild curly hair. There would be time for explaining later, but at that moment, both Draco and Hermione simply wanted to hold, and be held. |

Chapter 23 For what felt like an eternity, Hermione held on to Draco, inhaling his scent and relishing every second of him being there. He held her back just as tightly and Hermione knew he really was back; her Draco was back. She could have quite happily stayed there forever but soon remembered that they were having this rather intimate moment in the middle of Professor McGonagall's office. |
