Chapter 1: Godric's Hollow

Hermione's such a sucker when it comes to guys. Fame hungry Viktor Krum during 4th Year. Creeper Cormac McLaggen, and stuck – on – himself Ron during 6th Year. She apparated to Godric's Hollow to spend Christmas alone.

She was going to visit the Potters' grave. She was surprised to see a person with distinctive blonde hair visiting the grave, too.

'Who are you ?' asked Hermione, her voice slightly quivering.

'Granger ?'

'Malfoy? What are you doing here?'

'Visiting the Potters' grave of course. What should I be doing, wander around Godric's Hollow? And you?'

'Same reason as you.' A long line of silence ensued. Hermione conjured a wreath of roses in front of the grave. Finally, Draco asked.

'Granger, do you have anywhere else to stay?'

'Yes I do, but I prefer spending this time of the year alone.'

'Oh.'

'Why?'

'I was wondering if you want to stay at my house. Only if – '

'At the Malfoy Manor? Oh hell to the no. Especially when I was – '

'No, no not the Manor.' Draco reassured.

'Well then, where?'

'I actually have my own house Granger. After the war, I left the house, got some money from Gringotts and built my own house.'

'Sure.'

'Good. I've been alone for too long.' Draco held out his arm for Hermione to take.

'We're gong to Side Apparate to my house, or do you prefer….what do Muggles say it….cars?'

'I prefer Apparition, thank you very much. Even if I chose taking cars you don't have a license.' Hermione took Draco's arm and they apparated to his house. Hermione looked at Draco's house. Not a sight of black, unlike the Manor.

'Granger sit down.' Draco said, gesturing to one of the seats at his living room. Hermione sat down.

'I decorated it so it would fit amongst the Muggle houses. Apparently none of my neighbors are wizards.' Draco sat down, too.

'So Granger, tell me about yourself. What's going on with you and the Weasel lately.'

'Umm… well… I've been accepted at the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic. Pureblood laws have been demolished, and I was credited as one of the people who helped. Oh and, nothing's going on with me and Ron lately.' Hermione made a small smile.

'Well, you?' Hermione asked.

'Nothing's going on around me lately. I've had my fair share of being in the spotlight.' Draco stood up and headed outside. Hermione, meanwhile, fiddled with the different things around Draco's house. She checked the numerous vases. She also checked the kitchen if there's a coffee-maker. She was surprised to find one. Hermione soon grew bored and wonders what Draco's been doing. She found him staring at the sky.

'Draco, what are you doing?'

'It's nothing Hermione. It's what Muggle kids to before they go to bed. Something that says "Wish – "'

'"Upon a star". It's not what Muggle kids do now. They just go straight to bed.' Hermione rests a hand on Draco's shoulder. Draco felt warmth. He looks at Hermione, with her mesmerizing chocolate eyes.
