Hermione awoke early a few days before the holidays. She couldn't wait for the holidays to come! She was going to go to the ski lodge with her parents and cousins. Fun always happened there. It was a Saturday and everyone in her dormitory was still sleeping. She quietly got dressed and used a spell to get her hair and make-up the way she wanted it. Hermione went down to the Great Hall and had a big, healthy breakfast.

After breakfast she went to the common room and absorbed herself into an interesting book. She heard footsteps. She looked up and saw it was Harry and Ron. She wasn't speaking to them. They were being terrible ass holes to their girlfriends. Hermione sighed. 'Boys today', she thought.

Soon enough, Ron and Harry got back from breakfast. They seated themselves next to Hermione and tried to get her attention.

"Er... Hermione?" Harry said. He really had no clue what to say. He didn't want to admit he was a horrible boyfriend.

"I thought we agreed we were not speaking to each other," Hermione said, "Or have you finally stopped being idiots and came to your senses?"

"You know what.." Ron saied in an angry tone. He didn't get to finish his sentence because Harry stopped him.

"You were right," Harry said to Hermione, "We have been complete jerks. We apologize."

Harry nudged Ron in the rib. "Oh, yeah. We apologize." Ron gave Harry a reproachful look and rubbed his side.

"Thank you," Hermione said with a smile. She always got her way with them. "Let's go outside or something. I can use a bit of fresh air."

So Hermione, Ron, and Harry left the common room and headed for the front doors. It was a beautiful day outside but was quite cold because of the winter. They found their usual sitting place which was under a tree by the lake. At first it was quiet. All you could hear was people talking amongst themselves and footsteps on the pavement.

"So..." Hermione said trying to break the silence, "What are you going to do for the holidays? My family and I are going to a ski lodge. It should be lots of fun."

"Harry and I are going back to the borrow," Ron said matter-of-factly, "My whole family is coming for Christmas. Too bad you can't come."

"Oh well," Hermione aid. She knew that he was only saying that. Ever since he started going out with Padma, his attitude changed towards Hermione. H went out with Hermione for a while. He broke up with her a few weeks before he started going out with Padma. Hemione knew it was for the better but it made her quite sad.

"Look who's coming," Harry said glaring at the oak front doors. A boy with slick back blonde hair was headed straight for them. It was none other than Draco Malfoy himself. He looked rather angry.

"Hey mudblood," Draco yelled. Hermione stood up and walked straight towards him, "You have some explaining to do, you little bitch."

At that said, Harry got up and punched Draco in the nose. Draco fell to the floor. Hermione tried to think of what she did to be diserved to be called that. She turned around and headed back tosit down, and felt a sharp pain in her back. She fell to the floor and disappeared.

"Hermione!" Ron ran to the spot where Hermione was laying. He pulled out his wand and hit Malfoy with a jinx.

Hermione woke up and found herself in the hospital wing except it didn't exactly look like the hospital wing. She looked up and found a familiar boy staring at her.

I know. It kind of stinks. But this is my first fan fiction. Please Read and Review. It would be greatly appreciated!
