Chapter 1 Too Late

It's the last night before the students go back home for Christmas vacation. Everyone chilled out in the Great Hall for dinner with all the twelve well-designed Christmas tree giving a warm, joyous Holiday spirit.

Ron, Harry, Ginny, and Hermione were all sitting in their usual place at the Gryffindor table and they chatted for a while when silence won over them. Harry took his arm over Hermione's shoulder to give her some comfort. "Mione, you know that I'm leaving for Hogwarts' business. Don't make it seem I don't want to be around you during vacation. I'd love to stay but I can't do anything about it. If you accepted the position as Head Girl then we should've been together", Hermione stared at her food with an undoubting pout on her face.

"I know that Harry. You told me so about a dozen times already. Look, I could probably kill myself reading in the library. Nothing to worry about", Hermione lied as Harry stared intently, examining the expression her expression.

"It's just two weeks Mione. We will send you something while we're away. Right Ron? Gin?" Harry seemed as if he was asking for help from the Weasleys to comfort Hermione. She would be alone for the whole vacation and there must be only about five students staying at Hogwarts. Though she doesn't know who those students were, she expected she wouldn't go along with them after the rumor about her and Harry inside the broom closet started to spread around.

It's just a rumor though. Hermione is a downright virgin while Harry haven't thought, even for a while, to have a girl inside the dusty broom closet.

Some girls started to giggle when three students entered the Hall. Hary's company looked their way and saw the Slytherin Prefect-Quidditch Captain walk affront two hogs. Draco Malfoy did another dramatic entrance with an 'I-don't-care-about-any-of-you' look. His cold, gray eyes glinted in the soft light and his pale skin looked flushed more than ever.

"Ugh. I'm lucky that the albino wouldn't spend his vacation here. If he does, I'll definitely go with you Harry", Hermione said as she acted like she was about to puke. Ginny leaned in, nearer Hermione to speak. "Mione, don't worry one bit. Only Ron's leaving. I asked Mum and Dad if I could stay and they said I can. We could do some girly stuff without having to talk about Quidditch the whole time". Hermione replied, "are you really? Then everything's fine with me. Besides, I don't really need Harry around", Hermione glared teasingly at Harry who was about to retort . . . and so he did. "I'm glad I'm out of here without having Hermione following me around with drool down her mouth", Harry teased while returning Hermione's glare. "That's excellent! I wouldn't miss you one bit anyway . . ."

Harry leaned closer . . .too close that their lips were only an inch away. "Really?" Harry queried, then he plunged in for a quick kiss.

Hermione whispered smoothly, "Not really as I would miss your touch when you're away".

Harry's hand traveled over Hermione's torso, up her neck, ready for another kiss . . . when . . . Harry's face practically smashed over Hermione's with a sound of their foreheads bumping. Harry turned around to see who pushed him forward, seeing a famous evil smirk worn by an annoyingly handsome guy.

"Too early for that, isn't it HEAD BOY?", Draco asked with a toothy, sarcastic smile.

"Sod off Malfoy! You're not needed here", Harry snapped as Hermione clutched Harry's hand to stop him from doing anything further.

"Erm, HEAD BOY, I reckon you shouldn't treat your FELLOW students like that"

"FELLOW doesn't suit you Malfoy!"

"My, my, aren't we snappy . . .", Draco voiced, eyeing Hermione with a sly look. Then he continued, "You're not a virgin anymore after vacation. I swear . . ."

Harry stood up at once and roughly took Draco's arm. "Don't you even think about touching her . . ." Harry warned only to meet an evil smirk.

"Too late"

Draco brushed Harry's grasp and brushed off his robe. "See you around Granger". He turned around and steeped his first foot away when Harry spoke.

"So you're staying"

Draco twisted his head around to give a nonchalant look . . . then came out the famous smirk.
