"Mom! Dad!" Hermione said, rushing over to the muggles in the door was and hugging them tightly.
"Hermione! Darling! We missed you!" Jane Granger said.
"Thank you for inviting us Mrs. And Mister Malfoy." David Granger said politely.
"Please! Narcissa and Lucius!" Narcissa ordered happily, and her husband just smiled at her.
Jane and David Granger were wearing formal muggle clothes. Davis was in a black suite, and Jane was in a green dress.
Hermione looked around, Narcissa was wearing a green dress with a black trim that showed off her skin form, and Lucius was wearing an black wizard suite. Draco was wearing a smaller version of his father's attire, but with a green tie, Pansy was wearing a green dress, and her parents were wearing green wizarding formal clothes similar to the Malfoy's. Daphne was wearing a pink and red dress that hung just below the knees, and her younger sister Astoria wire one like it, but pink and white. Her mom wore a red dress, and her father wore green suite robes. Theo and his dad wore matching grey and green. Blaise was wearing an black Italian suite with a green shirt, and his younger sister wore a green dress that hung just above her knees. His mother wore a blood red dress that clung to her perfect curves, and his step-father wore a black suite with a red tie. Everyone was formal and Christmas themed. Hermione wore a green dress with a silver sash, and black shoes. With her hair hanging loosely. She was glad she had decided to dress nicely, or she would have stood out too much.
"I'm David Granger and this is my wife Jane Granger." Hermione's father said as the wizards and witches looked at them.
"I'm Lucius Malfoy, this is my wife Narcissa Malfoy, and my son, Draco Malfoy." Lucius looked at them as kindly as he could, it was Christmas, so he could atleast try to not act too harshly upon Hermione's parents. Also, Narcissa might refuse him their Christmas fun. But he doubted that.
"Theodore Nott, and my son Theodore Nott Jr., but he goes as Theo." Theodore shook hands with the Grangers, who looked at him and his son over.
"Plaise Parkinson, my wife Belinda Parkinson, and my daughter Pansy Parkinson." He nodded to the Grangers, who didn't seem to mind that he didn't shake hands with them like the Notts did.
"Xander Greengrass, my wife Ellena Greengrass, my elder daughter Daphne Greengrass, and her younger sister Astoria Greengrass." All four shook hands with the Grangers and exchanged friendly smiles.
"Isabella Zabini, my husband Cosimo Zabini, my elder son Blaise Zabini, and his younger sister, Allegra Zabini." said, giving the Grangers a polite nod and a forced smile, but a beautiful one non the least.
"Brain Crabbe, my wife Lilli Crabbe, and our son Vincent Crabbe." The slightly overweight man said stiffly.
"Sal Goyle, my wife Alaine Goyle, and our son Gregory Goyle." said warmly, giving a firm handshake to Jane and David Granger, his robes waving.
Just then, the door opened, and Hermione's potions professor walked in stiffly, in stark black dress robes with a high collar, and his hair down like usual.
He looked the Grangers over, once, twice, then looked at Hermione.
"You must be Hermione's. . . Parents." He said slowly, drawing out
each word. "I am Severus Snape, her potions professor, and Draco's" he pointed to the boy, "Godfather."
"Wonderful to meet you!" Jane said, "I'm Jane Granger and this is my husband David Granger." She shook his hand energeticly, and Hermione shook her head.
Narcissa ushered them to their seats and they sat down at the long grand dining table.
"I haven't seen you in awhile Severus!" Lucius remarked in a brief tone.
"I've been. . . Busy lately." Severus Snape replied in a equal tone. "That Potter brat is such a moron."
"Yes. Even stupider than some of the Hufflepuffs." Draco piped in, and the five Slytherins in his potions class nodded.
Lucius gave his son a proud smile for a second, then went back to his more relaxed mask, "How are the students this year?"
"Not many are actually good. Draco and Hermione are the top students in their class, and much more talented than some of the seventh years. Daphne, Theo and Blaise are fairly good, around what I expect of second years. Pansy, Vincent and Greg though. . . They are not as good. . . About. . . Average." He said, taking time to think on what to say on the three who weren't as good.
"Very good Draco, Hermione." Lucius complimented the two, giving them the slightest of nods.
"How is 'The Boy Who Lived?" Narcissa asked.
Severus sneered, "Horrendus. The only person worse than him is Longbottom and Weasley. Can't tell apart anything."
"Potter?" Jane Granger asked, confused with what they were talking about.
"Know it all brat." Severus said,
"Stuck up spoiled idiot." Lucius chimed in.
"Famous for something he didn't do!" Narcissa said.
"Thinks he's so great." Hermione rolled her eyes,
"Teachers favorite!" Draco scowled. "Stupid," Pansy leaned in.
"Moronic" That was Greg.
"Scar head!" Blaise said disgustedly.
"Think he's rich when he's not,"
"Exemptions are made for him unfairly."
"He befriends blood-traitors!"
"Doesn't understand important values."
"Untalented!"
"Dunderhead."
"Horrible flyer!"
"Gryffindork!"
"Blood traitor himself!"
"Befriends mudbloods!"
"Attention seeker!"
"As dumb as they come!"
David Granger cut in, "Does everyone think this?"
"No." Theo said,
"Only the people who see him for what he really is."
"Many stupid traitors worship him."
"Only Slytherins and a select few of the other houses know he's not what everyone thinks."
"Just wait until he realizes the world doesn't revolve around him."
"He should have been killed by the Dark Lord." Mrs. Zabini remarked.
"The Dark Lord?" The Grangers asked.
"Best wizard there was." Theo's father said.
"Until Potter made him dissapear, too weak to do anything now."
"How do you know this Potter boy didn't kill him?"
"He didn't. We know." Mr. Parkinson said.
The Grangers gave up on the topic, they knew they wouldn't understand much if any of it.
"What subjects do you take?" Mrs. Granger asked the students.
"Potions, Charms, Defense Against Dark Arts, Transfiguration. . ." Hermione started,
"Haha! We get it, you take a lot of classes!" David laughed.
"Dinner is served!" Narcissa remarked as ten house elves appeared with food with a pop.
Jane gasped as they placed the food on the great table.
"Wonderful! I commend your elves feast!" Theodore Nott Sr. Cried, delighted by all the food.
Dinner went quietly, everyone eating a lot. When it was time for the guests to leave, Jane and David pulled Hermione over.
"Here dear, open it tomorrow morning!" Hermione's mother said lovingly.
"Thanks! This is for you and dad!" Hermione gave them her gifts in exchange for there big green one.
When everyone had left, Narcissa checked the time.
"10:30" she said, "Time for bed!"
The Slytherins groaned, and went to bed.
In the morning, when Hermione woke up, it was 7:00.
"Ugh" she groaned, and shut off the alarm.
"Wake up!" She heard Pansy squeel from outside her door.
Hermione threw on a green dress, and opened her door. Pansy was wearing an extravagant red dress with he hair in a bun. Hermione looked like she hadn't dressed up at all in her green dress with three quarter sleeves, that reached her knees.
Daphne came walking out in a pink dress with red trim, and they turned to see the boys wearing suites.
The six of them walked to the main living room where they found Narcissa, waiting for the eagerly.
She opened the doors to the large room, and the six of them saw a big tree with glass ornaments next to the fireplace, and gifts piled high. She ran over to a small pile of gifts with her name on the bags and boxes.
Right in front of her was the large Christmas tree with the Malfoy Crest instead of a star.
She grabbed the first present on her pile, two small red wrapped boxes tied together with green silk ribbon. She gently slipped the boxes apart and opened the card. It was simple, saying
Happy Christmas Hermione!
Yours, Daphne Greengrass.
She smiled, opening the smaller box, inside of it was a beautiful silver charm bracelet, with three small charms on it, a snake, a book and a wand. Hermione thought it was beautiful. Inside the second and longer box, she found wand polish.
She opened the next box, the card was on top of the small boxes, trying not to look at the presents she read the small card.
Hermione,
Happy Christmas!
From, Theo
It simply said, she looked at the boxes seeing Bertiebott's every Flavour beans and earrings with little books hanging off the stud.
Finding the next card she read it.
Dear Hermione,
Happy Christmas! Have a great Christmas filled with sweets! Don't eat them all at once or you'll get sick.
From,
Blaise
Laughing, she found a bunch of candy.
Her next gift was from Pansy,
Dear Hermione,
Have a super fun Christmas! Maybe even work your was under the mistletoe!
Sincerely,
Pansy Parkinson
She opened the small box to find cute little silver teardrop earnings with a matching necklace and in the larger box, a pair of elegant silver shoes with small heels.
She found a large bag, the card said
Dear Hermione,
Have a lovely Christmas! Hope you will have a great time at this years Christmas ball.
Love,
Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy
Ball? Hermione wondered. She shook her head knowing she could ask Narcissa later. Opening the bag she found a chocolate wand, some expensive looking soaps, and a leather pouch filled with around a hundred galleons or so.
Next was Draco's,
Hermione,
Have a good Christmas!
Sincerely,
Draco
She opened the bag to find a wand stand, a snake necklace and a book on wand lore. She flipped through the books thick pages finding elegant script and detailed images.
She looked at the last gift on the pile, from her parents and opened it.
Dear Hermione,
Have a great Christmas! Can't wait to see you. Have a good time there.
Love,
Mum and Dad
Hermione smiled, opening the bag. She found $20, fifty galleons, a leather journal, and a pair of gorgeous Saphire earnings.
She was interrupted from admiring the beautiful eating to hear Narcissa clap, and Lucius roll his eyes.
"Who wants to go shopping?"
