YAY!! Here this is my very first Harry Potter FanFiction. Please tell me what you think review and everything. I want everyone to also understand that I'm going off of the books not the movies. As any Harry Potter fan would know and understand there is a huge character difference between the movies and books. If you haven't finished the series, beware I do reference a lot and give a lot away. Also lemons and limes will appear in this FanFiction later on; Thus the mature rating.

Chapter one - Opening

Harry, Ron and Herimone sat together in the dinning hall enjoying breakfast. Ron was stuffing eggs in his mouth while Herimone was drinking a glass of milk looking at him in amazement of how much he could put in his mouth and still chew with his mouth closed. Harry also watching in amazement while eating his own breakfast.

It felt odd to them being back at Hogwarts. The ministry of magic declared that even though Voldemort had been defeated, all of the students that missed that year of proper education would have to repeat it. Even though it felt odd, they were excited to be back.

The first part of their year was going great. Herimone became her old self age with studying and with extra classes. Now that the snow began to fall the whole castle bustled with excitement.

The great hall was decorated with red ribbons and green garland. Candles were covering the ceilings and walls and all over the tables.

Like clock work, the owls came in through the window with the daily post. Herimone had her normal daily profit drop in front of her. Harry looked up but quickly looked back down, knowing Hegwig wouldn't be there ever again.

Ron looked up and saw his families small hyper owl. He outstretched his hands for the letter and ripped it open.

"It's from mum,. Ron said. "properly telling me when she's picking me up at the station. Ron was going home for Christmas. It would be the first family got together since Fred's funeral. Ron began to read it; His face slowly turned sadder and sadder.

"What?" Harry asked, noticing his expression. "everything alright?" Ron swallowed hard.

"Mum says her and dad are going to Italy for Christmas. Said they're going to take some time off from the Ministry and have a holiday just the two of them." Ron put his letter down and looked at his food.

"Well, Ron I'm not going home and Harry is going to be here. We can all spend the holiday together." Hermione said. Ron looked up a little happier and smiled at her brightly, which turned her bright red.

Harry smiled in agreement when a letter was dropped in front of him. He looked up and saw a brown owl circle him and fly out the window. He opened it and read.

Harry Potter,

We would like for you to come and join us for holiday with they family. We are all traveling to your aunt merge's house from dinner Christmas and she has asked for you to come. I do apologize for the short notice. We hope to see you here by tomorrow evening or Monday morning.

Petunia Dursley

Harry looked up and reread the letter and looked up again.

"What is it Harry?" Hermione asked.

"My aunt and uncle want me to come for Christmas. Apparently my aunt merge asked for me to come for Christmas dinner." Harry answered. He thought back to when he saw them last. The night Mad Eye Moody died. His uncle was so mad at him but went into hiding anyway.

Ron looked at him in disbelief. Hermione looked at Ron and then looked at Harry; she was suddenly happy about this new turn around of information.

"Really?" Ron asked. Harry only nodded. "can you imagine them trying to send an owl? Silly Muggles." Harry slightly smiled.

"I guess I should go pack, they're expecting me by tomorrow." Harry stood up looking confused. He walked to the stairs rereading the letter again.

"Wow, well Ron, looks like it's just… us then." Herimone said looking after Harry. Ron looked at her and silently grunted.

'Oh great she's going to make me study all Christmas long.' Ron thought eating another piece of bacon. He gave her a smile so she wouldn't know what he was thinking. It had been over a year since the night their feelings exploded. Ron still got shivers from thinking about the kiss they shared. But nothing developed between them.

Everything kept getting in the way of them talking about what happened. But Ron refused to give up hope. This would be the first time the spent time together without someone there.

The two of them walked back to the Gryffindor tower. Herimone said "gingerpuffs" and the fat lady swung open. They heard Harry packing up in the boys dormitories.

"So what do you want to do all holiday?" Hermione asked sitting in the overly stuffed chair. "We could study." She suggested. Ron grunted. "Ok well, what do you and Harry do then?"

"Hang around, play Quidditch, relax." Ron said rolling his eyes as Hermione started to look unhappy. "Do you ever do anything besides study?"

"Of course, I was just trying to think of things we could do together." She spat. Ron looked at her surprised.

"Together?" Ron asked. He sat down on the chair facing her. She looked at him with a straight face but inside her heart was fluttering. She wanted him to make the first move. She wanted him to tell her how much he loved her. She knew he did but she needed him to tell her.

"Well, were going to be practically alone for two weeks. We have to come to a middle ground." She said quickly before her thoughts traveled back to the night she practically pounced on Ron. She began to feel the red in her kissed from the way she acted.

"Oh okay," ron tried not to look disappointed. She looked at him with a cocked eyebrow. "the way you said it…" Ron said trying to explain. He gave up and looked at the floor.

"Had did I say it?" Hermione asked her defenses rising and she couldn't really figure out why she suddenly got upset.

"Like, well you made it sound like you wanted to spend time with me." Ron said his defenses rising too.

"Well, didn't you hear me at all?" Hermione said mockingly. Ron just looked at her. "Like date time?" Hermione said roughly looking at him.

"Well, yeah." Ron agreed.

"Why would I say that?" Hermione asked bitterly.

"Why would I want you to say that?" Ron said even more bitter.

Hermione looked hurt but it turned into anger.

"Well, don't start thinking I want you to start thinking that I'm thinking anything remotely to that silly childish little thought." Hermione said stomping up to the girls dormitories, Ron stood there trying to work what she just said.

**There it is. Sorry for any spelling and grammar mistakes. I try to catch them but like all people I make mistakes. I know I'm taking them back a few steps of maturity but you find out why later. Read and review!!!**
