[Authors Note: I know I promised I'd have this up before Christmas came but things changed and life got in the way. But I hope you guys enjoy the last chapter.]
Hermione sat up it bed, today was Christmas morning, oh how she longed for this day to come for weeks. Minerva was silently sleeping beside her. She couldn't wait to see her lovers face when she opened her Christmas present from her. Hermione had spent the previous week searching for the perfect Christmas present, she finally settled on a white gold necklace with a heart shaped locket with diamonds on top. She knew Minerva wore few jewels but she knew her lover would wear this.
Deciding it was best to let her lover sleep for a another hour, Hermione got out of bed and headed to the living room where she started the fire and called a house elf to send for some tea and cakes before Minerva made herself present. Hermione looked at the mantel above the fireplace, where there was a photo of the two of them, it was taken outside in the snow. Minerva was standing behind Hermione with her arms wrapped tightly around her young lovers waist and nuzzling her neck, they were both smiling and looking very much in love.
"That was such an amazing photo, wasn't it?" Minerva asked, she was dressed in her night robe, but still she looked beautiful to Hermione.
"Yes, It was, you look so beautiful. It's like your eyes are telling a story." Hermione replied, staring at the picture.
"Yes, our love story" Minerva replied, walking over to her lover and kissing her cheek.
They continued holding each other in front of the fireplace, just gazing at the photograph. Hermione's feet began to get tired so they sat down the couch in front of the fireplace. Minerva sat first and the Hermione sat second, laying her head on Minerva's shoulder. She laced their fingers together and asked Minerva to hand her the book that was on the side table next to her.
Minerva handed her the book, taking a glance at the title before handing it to her lover. "'Love Potions and Spells'. What do you have up your sleeve young lady?" Minerva asked.
"Ginny asked me to help her 'land' Draco" Hermione stated. Opening the book to where the bookmark was located. She snuggled into Minerva's shoulder and silently read. Minerva smiled, her young lover was at it again, trying to play matchmaker. She herself knew of young Ginny's crush on one Mr. Malfoy. Minerva watched her lover read until she began to realize they almost forgot that it was Christmas morning.
"Hermione, my dear, its Christmas. Wouldn't you like to open gifts instead of reading?" Minerva asked.
"Oh, heavens I've forgotten!" Hermione said closing her book and getting up and walking over to the Christmas tree. She sat down and waved Minerva over.
"Sit down with me" Hermione said, as she took a gift from under the tree. She smiled when Minerva sat and she handed her the gift she had gotten her.
Minerva smiled as she watched Hermione open the gift she had gotten her; she hoped that Hermione would love it. She had saved up a little to be able to buy her something this lovely.
Hermione smiled as she opened the present, wondering what could be inside. She finally got it open and looked inside and was amazed at what she seen inside, there were two boxes inside, one small, and one a medium size. She opened the Medium size one first and was taken back at what was inside, Minerva had gotten her a set of magical quills that they could talk wherever they were, A magical way of chatting. She set those aside and went to open the smaller one, inside was a sliver chain with a heart shaped locket. She opened it and found a picture of her and Minerva, from a dance a few months back.
"Minerva, these are wonderful. Thank you so much" Hermione said, leaning over and kissing her lover, showing her just now much she liked her presents.
"I am glad you like them Dear." Minerva said, she began to open her present witch was just a little bigger then the medium size present Hermione got. Inside was a box, that said keep out on top, puzzled Minerva looked up at Hermione.
"I thought I would give you something personal. These are all my letters and such from 5th year on until we got together. They explain my love and such for you." Hermione explained.
"Oh, then I shall save them and read them in bed tonight, shall I?" Minerva said, winking.
Hermione smiled. She was glad that Minerva liked the idea of her present. She didn't want to buy something, since she didn't have much money on her these days. She just couldn't wait until tonight to watch her lover's face as she read all her naughty fantasies and such.
Minerva watched her lover, she noticed she had that look in her eyes; she nodded her head towards the bedroom. Hermione smiled and nodded back, she couldn't wait to get those robes off of her lover.
And so they went to it.
