It was Christmas. Hermione was sitting in her room on a bed looking out of the window. It was snowing... Thousands of snowflakes were spining all around like charming little butterflys. Some time later there were a lot of snow on the roads, making it very hard for cars to drive along them. It seems that snow is the only one thing that can make her calm down now. She was not crying any more, she was just sitting and looking into one spot. In earlyer days Christmas was something very special and wonderful for her...but not this time. This time she felt nothing but pain and emptyness. There was a letter from Ron lieing on the table, but she doesn't want to read it, because she knew that in that letter there will be something about something she desperately trying to forget for nearly a year. And about something she maybe will never forget. " Whether i want it or not, I had to read it..." - she thought tearing the paper of an envelope. For about a minute she hesitated and then began to read the letter :

Dear Hermione, Marry Christmas ! I wish you to become that funny and cheerful person you were before...you know what I'm talking about....Look Herm, I wanna tell you something...Stop killing yourself. I know it's very difficult to realize...but he's lost...and life goes on, maybe without him.

Your friend Ron.

" Why can't he understand ? I' ll never forget about it ! Not because I don't want to, but because I can't ! How can I forget about the one whom I loved ?! Ohh...there's no better present for me just to be with him now..." - she thought. Tear's started to form in her eye's. " Oh, why did I open the letter ? Why ?!! " - she asked herself. On her fifth year she and Harry become very close to each other. They told each other about their feelings and started to date. Everything was wonderful until that terrible day...Just before Christmas he had disappeared. Ministry Of Magic had sent thousands of people to find him, but no use. So it was her second Christmas without her sweet Harry Potter. She decided that she has nothing to do at Hogwarts on Christmas holidays without Harry so she arrived to spend the whoul Christmas with her parents. Yet she's not going to give up hoping that he will come back to her some day. Snowflakes were falling from the sky, covering roads, houses,cars...just everything making it white. It was so quiet all around that it seemed that Granger's house was somewhere in mountains but not in a town like London. Suddenly, she heard a loud doorbell from downstairs and then Mrs. Granger's voice coming from another room : -- Hermione, dear, please, open the door. I guess I's Rey back from his work. " Guess...Of course i's Dad. Who else would come ? " - she thought sarcastically, walking dowstairs to open that damn door. She opend it and stand frozen when she saw who was in front of her. There was a tall guy with black hair, half covered with snow, round glasses and emerald green eyes. Of course he was very thin and there were few fresh cuts on his face but it was definitly him ! -- Harry ? - she asked uncertanly. He gave her a weak smile and nodded. Yes, it was Harry Potter ! The Boy-Who- Lived ! Hermione ran to him and gave him a big hug. It was the most wonderful moment in her life ! Tears were running from her eyes...She was crying from millions of fillings spinning in her soul. And so do Harry. " Oh, God ! It's him ! He's back again ! I knew it ! " - she thought. They were hugging each other as tight as possible. A sense of happiness fulled their hearts. They were standing near the open door. Snow was covering their hair...clothes... Hermione stapped back a little to look into his deep green eyes. -- You're back ! I knew it ! I was hoping... -- Yeah, I'm back. - Harry agreed hugging her once again. At that moment he want nothing but to hold her in his arms. So do Hermione. -- Hermione, who'se there ? - asked Lily Granger walking downstairs to the door.
