It was another Holiday Season at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The school grounds were covered with snow and Christmas decorations to get the students in the spirit. They even enchanted the armors to sing holiday songs like last year.

Harry Potter was as usual, staying in for Christmas. His best friends, Ron and Hermione, decided to stay in too to keep their friend company for Christmas. It was a week till the Christmas break and Professor Mcgonogall was taking names of the Gryffindor students staying in. Harry's name was on the very top.

"Ron, are you sure you don't want to spend your Christmas in Romania?" Harry asked as they made their way to the Great Hall.

"Harry, I've been to Romania before I don't need to see it again. Besides, word is Dumbledore has a surprise for the staying students." Ron said in a hushed up voice.

"Ron! It's just a rumor! You got that from Neville!" Hermione interrupted as they went down the steps.

"So? I'm still staying in to find out!" Ron arugued.

Hermione just pouted and ignored him. "What about you, Hermione? Are you sure you want to stay here instead of spending Christmas with your parents?" Harry asked.

"It's okay, Harry. My parents have to go to Germany anyway." Hermione replied as they entered the Great Hall, which was already filled with students eating lunch.

They sat next to Fred and George who were testing a WWW product on Neville who took it rather eagerly, as if he was clueless about it. The three stared at Neville as he swallowed some type of candy. They all leaned forward and soon Neville started to grow hair on his face. The Gryffindor table stared at Neville as he chewed the candy and acted as if nothing was happening.

"What? What's wrong?" Nevilled asked cluelessly as he noticed all of the people's stares.

The table (burst) out into laughter except for Hermione who looked a bit shocked and (furious). She was muttering something about 'cruel' and 'harsh', but no one heard her little comments because of the loud laughter. The entire Great Hall saw Neville and as the laughter grew greater and greater, it attracted attention to Professor Flitwick who was eating at the long table at the front of the hall.

"Congratulations, Fred!" George shook his brother's hand.

"Well, done Mr. Forge!" The twins joined in the laughter as Neville touched his face in embarrassment. As he felt the bunches of hair on his face, nobody could see it, but he turned bright red from all the laughter that surrounded him.

"What's this?" Professor Flitwick made his way through the crowd of students laughing at Neville who was now crying under his face hair. "Mr. Longbottom? -- Mr. Longbottom!!" Professor Flitwick led Neville out of the laughing crowd to the Hospital Wing.

As soon as Neville exited the room everyone went back to their tables still laughing a bit.

"That wasn't very nice!" Hermione screamed, as she finally got out what she wanted to say out of her system.

"So? It was funny." Ron snickered as he took a piece of chicken from a plate. "Congratulations on that one! What was it?" Ron asked, as he turned away from Hermoine to his twin brothers.

"Hair growing toffee. It'll sprout up hair on unexpected places without you feeling a thing!" They said at the same time.

"That was brilliant!" Ron commented as Hermione even pouted more. "What did you think, Harry?" Ron asked the oblivious Harry.

"Umm..Yeah, it's great." Harry said tying to make his tone more enthusiastic.

"Thank you, thank you, folks. We'll be here till June!" George said as he took a bow with his brother. The Gryffindor table appluaded applauded.

The rest of lunch was spent with Fred and George taking compliments from everyone, Hermione pouting, Ron eating and Harry, who was distant from everyone else...

Everyone had left Hogwarts earlier to go home for the holidays and Neville was allowed to go home even though he still had a few hairs on his nose and forehead. Harry was playing Wizards Chess with Ron that afternoon while Hermione buried herself in a book and the Weasley twins played Exploding Snap.

Ron's queen smashed Harry's king making Ron the winner for the third time in a row.

"You seem really out of it, Harry." Ron said as he gathered the broken pieces. "You and Hermione have been really odd. Oh yeah, let's not forget Ginny. That girl has been spending an awful lot of time in the library. She might be the next Hermione!" Ron said with a terror his tone.

"Hah..Yeah." Harry tried to give out a laugh to make it look like he cared.

"Anyway, wanna play out? Snow's great!" Ron suggested to everyone in the room.

"We're in!" The twins replied as they turned their heads.

"What about you 'Mione?" Ron asked her as she put "Hogwarts a History" down. "You're reading this again??"

"Yeah, Professor Binns said we have to. I just need to refresh my memory on it. You can go and play without me." Hermione put her book up to her nose and continued to read.

"Refresh her memory? She memorized the book already!" Ron said as he nudged Harry.

"Umm..Go on without me. I think I'll stay here and rest. I've been very tired." Harry replied.

Ron raised an eyebrow and doubted on his friend's decision but then finally gave in. "Okay, fine. You're missing out on great snow." Ron and the twins exited the portrait hole making an awfully lot of noise.

" 'Mione?" Harry asked he sat next to her. "Can I ask you something?"

Meanwhile, at the library Ginny was at a corner writing notes on a piece of parchment. She turned the page on the thick heavy, leather book and took more notes when suddenly a heavy book crashed on her table. She lifted her head up and saw no other than Draco Malfoy.

"Weasley," Draco said in his rather coy tone.

Ginny blushed furiously at the sight of Malfoy. She bowed her head down and fidgeted with her robes to prevent further blushing.

"What's wrong? Never had a Malfoy actually talk to you before?" Fury took over Ginny as she realized what a big git Malfoy was.

"What do you want, Malfoy?" Ginny said as she raised her head. Her face was only slightly pink now.

Draco gave some sort of snort and said, "Madam Pince said that you have the last copy of "Hogwarts a History". I need it for History of Magic." Draco sat across Ginny waiting for a reply.

"Why don't you just buy your own copy?" Ginny replied with a furious tone.

"You see, I could do that. But that'll take days and I need it now." Draco glared at Ginny and Ginny did the same to Draco.

"Too bad. I'm using it too." Ginny said as she tried to ignore Draco and went back to her notes..

"Watch your mouth, Weasley." Draco placed her hand on Ginny's book which caused her too look up to him.

"Sod off, ferret boy. I had the book first!" Ginny pulled the book away from Malfoy, which made his hand slip off of it.

"Better give me that book if you know what's best for you." Draco threatened.

"Or what? Your imaginary cronies will beat me up?" Ginny got braver each second of their arguement. Crabbe and Goyle, Malfoy's cronies, were indeed absent from Draco's back. They were usually lurking near him, but they weren't now. It just so happens that the two were off for the holidays. Draco glared at her and Ginny did the same. Draco stood up from his chair and so did Ginny. Draco was taller than Ginny but she still glared at him directly in the eye with complete anger in her eyes.

"Well, well, little Weasley has finally grown wings to fly out of the nest." Malfoy taunted. "You better give me the book before -- " Ginny cut him off.

"Before what? You tell Snape?" Ginny said courageously.

Malfoy made some kind of grunting noise as he furrowed his eyebrows. "You..You little b..."

Ginny gasped and fury took over her and within seconds, Virginia Weasley sent a hard slap onto Malfoy's pale cheeks. The slap was so hard it made a faint noise that echoed over their area. Draco's left, pale, cheek turned pink and the slap left some sort of a mark. Madam Pince came out of nowhere and saw the two furiously glaring at each other. It was almost as if they were sending sparks to burn the whole library.

"What's going on here?" Madam Pince asked with suspicion in her tone.

The two turned their heads and said something at the same time which Madam Pince nor anyone would understand.

"Shush you two! One at a time. Ms Weasley begin." Draco had a shocked expression on his face and stared at Ginny and send her a look that said 'lie-or-else-we'd-both-be-in-trouble' look.

Ginny obviously got Draco's message and cleared her throat. "Umm..We were just umm..I had the last copy of "Hogwarts a History" and Malfoy wanted to borrow it, but I'm still using it..So umm.." Draco again, gave her a look that looked as if his eyeballs were about to pop out. "We decided to share on the book."

Draco was as shocked as Madam Pince, and it left him with his jaw hanging open. "Is this true, Mr. Malfoy?" Madam Pince asked as she turned her head to Malfoy, who was putting his jaw back in place.

"Umm..Yes, Ms. Weasley and I are going to share the book." Madam Pince didn't look very convinced at first, but finally believed them when they both gave innocent smiles.

"Very well, then. Just don't make any more noise." Madam Pince said as she left, leaving the two to give out relieved sighs.

"Nice job, Weasley. Can I have the book now?" Draco was about to reach for the book when Ginny grabbed it.

"Oh, no. I still need the book and you have no choice but to stay here and wait for me to finish, which I don't think I'll ever will, or.." Ginny cleared her throat again. "We can..Share." The thought of them sharing sent shivers to them both.

Draco didn't look too convinced at first but finally said in a low voice: "Very well, then." The two sat back down and started to share "Hogwarts a History."

Outside Ron was hiding behind an old oak tree covered in snow while the twins looked for him.

"Oh, Ronnikins! Your best and most favorite brothers have something for you!" George snickered as he held his snowball.

Ron didn't move and only listened. He started to shape up the snow in his gloved hands into a perfect snowball. The twins were getting closer and Ron started to snicker. He came out from behind a tree and threw a snowball but missed. The twins chased Ron and both of them managed to hit him at the back, which caused him to trip and fall on the snow.

"Aww! Did we hurt you baby brother?" Fred asked as they laughed at him covered in snow.

Ron gathered snow and threw it at his brothers which hit Fred's chest. Ron pulled his brother George down with his other arm. George was holding to Fred which all caused them to end up lying on the snow. The three laughed for a few moments and the laughter died after a cold wind blew by.

George was catching his breath from all the laughing and finally spoke. "Ron," He took another deep breath. "You seem to hate Hermione a lot."

"So?" Ron answered staring at the blue sky.

"Why?" Fred asked as if the twins planned all this.

"She just gets on my nerves sometimes.." Ron replied in his low voice.

"Ooohh." The twins answered in unison.

"Why you ask?" Ron crushed some snow in his hand.

"Oh, no reason. You know." George said.

"No, I don't know." Ron replied a bit curious.

"Okay, fine George and me had this crazy idea about you and Herm being well..Umm.." Fred paused.

"Well? A what?" Ron asked anxiously.

The twins cleared their throat. "Fancying each other."

Ron almost gagged when he heard his brothers said this. He chuckled a little bit but then thought about it. He had never realized Hermione as well..Umm..That. Hermione started to come into his thoughts and Ron thought about how soft her bushy brown hair was..Or how it smelled good. Almost as if she puts something to enchant it. Ron remembered Hermione last year during Yule Ball..She looked amazing. He was a fool for not asking her out. Hermione had that certain quality that Ron just seemed to be attracted to. It was as if they were opposite magnets that perfectly fit.

"Ronnikins?" George nudged his brother to awake him from his little trance.

"Huh?Umm.Of course, not! Me! Fancy Hermione! Hah! Completely absurd!" Ron replied with nervousness in his tone.

The twins snickered for they noticed the guilt in his tone. "Whatever you say, baby brother." The twins stood up and pulled their brother up from the blanket of snow that covered the grounds.

"Hm. Well, I'm going back to the common room to see how Harry is doing." Ron said as he brushed off snow from his robes.

"Okay, we'll be just..wandering around." The twins gave a sort of devious giggle and left.

Ron walked silently to the castle with nothing in his mind but Hermione. The sound of the snow crunching was the only sound heard outside the grounds.

****

At the Gryffindor common room Hermione stared at Harry's emerald green eyes behind his glasses. She was lost in his eyes for a moment then Harry's voice snapped her out of trance.

"Can..I ask you something?" Harry repeated.

"Umm..Sure, Harry." Hermione replied trying to keep her calm. Why was Harry making her so nervous? Harry was her friend and he was pretty sure that Harry wasn't going to harm her in any way.

"Well..Um." Harry cleared his throat and contiuned to mutter 'umms' and 'wells'.

"Harry, is there something wrong?" Hermione placed her book down and went closer to Harry.

"Hermione..." Harry said in a silent whisper. The fire from the fireplace crackled loudly and produced a bright light all over the room. The fire sent warmness all over their bodies."I..."

"Yes?" Hermione asked with a curious look on her face.

Harry stared at Hermione's chocolate colored eyes and couldn't help but get that jittery feeling him. Hermione's hair was pushed back her ears and it was down as usual. The fragrant smell of her hair sent a sort of odd feeling to his brains. Hermione had that calm look on her face..So angelic and peaceful. Harry shook her thought off and took a deep breath. They got closer and soon they could hear and feel each other breath.

"Harry..." Hermione muttered.

Without even thinking Harry leaned forward and caught Hermione by surprise...Nevertheless their lips touched and Hermione seemed to have resisted but just drowned into her emotions. They closed their eyes and the kiss seemed to have lasted forever but it only lasted for no more than a few seconds. They pulled away from each other and both heads bowed down.

Nobody spoke. Both Hermione and Harry had a slight of blush in their faces. Hermione started to grip her robes tightly and Harry seemed to have noticed it.

"Sorry.." Hermione had droplets of tears falling down from her eyes. "Sorry, Hermione." It only made Hermione cry even more. Harry couldn't take the sight of her crying. He moved closer to her and wiped her tears.

"Harry.." She managed to say in her tears. " 'S not your fault."

Harry placed her arms around Hermione without her resisting. "Why are you crying?"

"I don't wanna lose a friend..." Hermione replied as she snuggled into Harry.

Harry brought her face up and stared at her tear-eyed, confused face. "I promise , you're not going to lose anything."

Hermione moved closer to Harry and they kissed again. This time it seemed to have last longer. The two got lost in space in time as they fell into each other's embrace.

Ron who had just reached the Fat Lady portrait decided to apologize to Hermione. Maybe he did fancy her..Who cares? He wouldn't want to risk a good friendship because of her conflicting emotions.

"Felize Navidad!" The portrait hole opened and Ron entered the room and a sudden rush of warmness brushed to his face.

He went in the common room and saw no other than his two best friends kissing. They too, noticed Ron's presence and quickly pulled away from each other's arms and all three stared at each other blushing like mad.

"I..I..I'm sorry.." Ron turned his back fighting the tears.

"Ron!" Harry shouted as Ron ran out the portrait hole.

Ron ran out the halls and turned and turned to an even unfamiliar corridor, not caring where he was going. He just ran clenching his fist. He should've seen it coming...Hermione never did look at him that way. He tried to push his thoughts away but found himself even more confused. He suddenly collapsed on the floor shaking furiously. He was clenching his fists so hard that it might've bled. Ron recalled the sight of his two best friends kissing over and over again in his head. He bit his lip hoping the pain in him would transfer.
