Singing by the Firelight
Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies
Well I'm all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child but my heart can still dream
So here's my life long wish
My grown up Christmas list
Not for my self but for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
And wars would never start
And time could heal all hearts
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
Ohhhhhhhhh
This is my grown up Christmas list
What is this illusion called the innocence
Of youth Maybe only in
Our blind belief can we ever find the truth
No more lives torn apart
And wars would never start
And time could heal all hearts
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
Ohhhhhhhhh
This is my grown up Christmas list
This is my only life long wish
This is my grown up Christmas list
Ohhhhhhhhh
Hermione had been sitting by the fire singing. It was something she liked to do with no one around, her parents said she was good. She had reasoned that her parents just said, it was their duty or something silly like that.
As Hermione had been signing, Harry snuck down the stairs and sat on the couch behind the one she was on. When she stopped at the end of the song Harry started clapping softly, so that no one else would wake up.
She turned around and saw Harry smiling at her, "You heard me singing?" She wined in to the sheet music she was holding.
"Yeah, but you were great!" Harry pulled her head off of the papers she was holding, "Sing something else?" he suggested.
"I can't." She sighed sinking in to the couch.
"And why not?" Harry asked sitting next to her.
"I can't sing in front of people." She said looking up at his disappointed face.
"You just did."
"Oh alright. Fine I will, but then you'll have to sing a song of my choice." She looked through her stack of sheet music.
"Don't make me sing, I'll pay you. I'll give you 3 Sickles and 15 Knuts."
"Nope. Your singing." She smirked and glanced down at her song. "Now promise me you won't laugh."
"I'll try."
"You better." She closed her eyes to steady her self, then she started singing
Mister Claus I feel as though I know ya
So you won't mind if I should get familya will ya
Santa Baby just slip a sable under the tree for me
Been an awful good girl Santa Baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa Baby a fifty-four convertible too light blue
I'll wait up for you dear Santa Baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you check off my Christmas list
Santa Baby I want a yacht and really that's not a lot
Been an angel all year Santa Baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa Baby one little thing I really do need the deed
To a platinum mine Santa Hunny
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa Cutie and fill my stocking with a duplex and checks
Sign your X on the line Santa Cutie and
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree with some decorations
Bought at Tiffany's I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Santa Baby forgot to mention one little thing a ring
I don't mean on the phone
Santa Baby so hurry down the chimney tonight
So Santa shimmy down the chimney tonight
Santa Baby hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa Hunny hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa Cutie hurry down the chimney tonight
As Hermione sang the song she was blushing and she almost laughed a few times. Harry had been very surprised by the song choice.
"Well. Well. Well you have a huge Christmas list." Harry said laughing.
"No. The song was originally done my Marilyn Monroe so she had that Christmas list." Hermione explained as she conjured two glassed of water.
"Really?" Harry asked as Hermione drank the whole glass of water.
"Yeah. She was scandalous."
"Like Ginny." Harry stated like it was a curse.
"Somewhat." Hermione muttered.
They sat on the couch for a while. Hermione pilfered through her stack of music, to find the perfect song for Harry to sing.
"Hermione, where did you get all of this music?"
"When I was a little kid I played the piano. So it just accumulated in the house and I decided to take it with me here, in case I want to play." She smiled and handed Harry a song.
"It's the most wonderful time of the year?" Harry asked, she nodded then he started.
It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling and everyone
Telling you "Be of good cheer"
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap-happiest season of all
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting and
Caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories and
Tales of the glories of Christmases long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much misletoeing and hearts will
Be glowing when loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting and
Caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories and
Tales of the glories of Christmases long long ago

Be glowing when loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
"Wonderful, Harry, wonderful." Hermione smiled.
"Thanks." Harry pulled her into a hug, something that he had never done before, start a hug.
"Your welcome." She whispered pulling him closer to her. Eventually Harry pulled back from their hug.
"Hermione, thank you for everything."
"Any time, Harry." Hermione smiled at him.
"Well I hope not." Harry said startled. "Do you want another war?"
"No, but still if I had to jump in front of a curse for you I would. Without a second thought." She said putting him in a one armed hug.
"Thank You." He said as they both turned their heads at the same time and since they were so close to one another their lips brushed. They went with it, what happens, happens for a reason.
They sat on the couch kissing for, neither knew how long, but until light started to creep into the common room. They pulled back and looked at each other.
"From signing to this huh?" Harry asked
"Apparently." Hermione smiled and bit her lip, "Harry what does this do to our friendship?"
"Well I think, it's up to you though, that we can be boyfriend and girlfriend." Harry said looking down at his hands.
"That would be great." Hermione picked his head up, so that she could kiss him properly.
