Chapter 12
Draco was helping Hermione set the table when he saw Hermione's fireplace light up in green flames and his mother appeared. She wiped away the soot on her robes and stepped out. As soon as she caught a glimpse of Draco she ran up to him and hugged him tightly.
"Oh son! It's been too long!" she cried and she hugged Draco tightly. She soon pulled back and wiped away the tears that were threatening to escape. "I am glad that you are feeling better." Then she looked over Draco's shoulder and saw Hermione setting the food out on the plates. "Hermione dear!" She walked up to Hermione and grabbed the plate of food that she was carrying, even after Hermione's objections. "Let me carry it! It is the least I can do for the sudden request."
They all sat together on the dining table, Draco was sitting next to Hermione and Narcissa sat just across from him. They ate in silence, but it wasn't because things were uncomfortable, it was because they were enjoying the food. During their dinner, Draco would shoot glances at Hermione and would brush his hand 'accidentally' to hers whenever they thought that Narcissa wasn't looking. When they finished dinner, Hermione quickly collected the plates and set them on the sink. Then she quickly made an excuse that she was going to the toilet and excused herself, allowing Draco and Narcissa to have some well deserved time alone together.

Narcissa sat on the sofa next to Draco as they talked, catching up on things they had missed. She smiled as Draco talked to her. She knew that his son was getting better, he looked more alive and his eyes were filled will life. He even occasionally laughed at the stories he talked to her about, especially about the times that and Hermione would spend together alone. It was then that she realised that his son had feelings for Hermione and she knew that he was falling in love with her, though Draco probably wouldn't admit it yet that he was in love, she knew the signs. His face would brighten up whenever he spoke about Hermione, whether it was when she was helping him during one of his 'nights' or just them two walking through the park together. She didn't realise that she was crying until Draco had stopped talking and asked her what was wrong. Realising this, she quickly wiped away the tears and gave Draco a hug.
"I am so glad that you are feeling better and I am glad that you have found someone in your life." she said as she hugged him. She pulled back and looked at his shocked face, which she knew straight away was questioning how she had figured out his feelings for Hermione. "I'm your mother Draco, you look so much happier every time you mention her name and talk about her. Tell me, does she return these feelings?"
Draco smiled at her and nodded.
"Oh I'm so glad!"
"Mother, we are dating..." Draco whispered.
"Oh that is absolutely wonderful news Draco! I am really happy! I think you two would be absolutely perfect together!" She hugged him again quickly, as she was hugging Draco, she saw Hermione arrive in the living room. She pulled back from Draco and got up, giving Hermione a hug as well. "Thank you so much Hermione," she whispered into her ear. "You have saved Draco. I am so glad that you two are together..." Hermione pulled back from her and gave her a nod.
"It's my pleasure Mrs. Malfoy." she replied.
"Oh please, call me Narcissa,"
"Oh okay... Um... Narcissa well your son is just perfect," Narcissa smiled at her comment. She knew that Hermione wasn't just saying it for the sake of her being there, she meant it. "I'm glad you gave me a chance to help him,"
"I believed that you could, I really didn't want him to lose his memories... I hoped that it would make him stronger. Well with your help I guess it had, well I must go now." she walked back to the living room and gave Draco a hug and a quick goodbye. "I must apologize for suddenly just leaving but I really must. Oh Draco dear, you and Hermione will be able to come to our New Year's Party right?"
Draco looked at Hermione who smiled and nodded.
"Oh that is wonderful! Everyone shall be glad to see you alright again Draco!" Then Narcissa got inside the fireplace and flood away.

As soon as Narcissa was gone, Draco stood up from the sofa and pulled Hermione to his chest. He heard he giggle a bit when he started kissing her neck, leaving marks.
"It's Christmas Draco, I bought you a present." she said and quickly pulled away, but not before she grabbed his wrist and dragged him to his room. "Stay here," she instructed and she left the room. Draco sat there for a few minutes and pulled out the box that he had bought at Diagon Alley that day and opened it, checking that the contents were still intact. Minutes later he saw the door open again and Hermione entered holding a rectangle box, but that wasn't the only thing she had, behind her was a big box that was as tall as her but not that wide. Hermione had cast a levitating spell on it. Draco had a shocked face and looked down at the box he was holding. It felt like nothing compared to what Hermione had, she had twopresents for him. I hope she likes my present... He walked up to Hermione and carried the massive box and carefully placed it on the bed. "Thank you Draco, here I think you should open this first." she smiled as she handed him the rectangle box that she had been holding.
Draco carefully opened it and opened the box. He gasped as he opened the box and saw what was inside. He pulled out the wand and the box automatically fell to the floor.
"My wand... 10 inches, Hawthorn wood with unicorn hair core..." he muttered to himself as he held the wand an examined it. He looked up at Hermione, tears threatening to escape his eyes. "Thank you..."
"You're welcome, I trust that you won't do anything stupid. But that isn't my present, well not really."
He looked at the box that was lying on the bed and smiled to himself, he didn't deserve Hermione and yet here they were, together for their first Christmas. Oh how life was looking good. He shook his head at Hermione however and held out the box that he was holding. "Open your present first. I hope you like it."
Hermione laughed and took the box Draco held out and she opened the box. The expression on her face showed that she was shocked and loved the present, and it made Draco happy knowing that his girlfriend loved his present. Hermione kept looking up at him and then back down to the contents of the box. "How... Oh my gosh Draco... How..." She walked towards Draco, carefully placed the box onto the bed and hugged him. "Draco! it's beautiful! I love the colour!"
He smiled as Hermione hugged him and he returned it. "I'm glad you like it, I was hoping you wouldn't mind if it was in my house colours," He broke the hug but held her waist close to him and he rested his head on her forehead.
"I'm going to be honest, I've always liked the colour green a bit more then red, but I guess being a Gryffindor it's expected that I would like marron and gold more, but I don't."
"I'm glad, you're a Slytherin at heart then I take it?"
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm still a stubborn lion."
"A lion in bed," he smirked and she pulled back, playfully smacking him on the chest.
"Open your real present." she pointed at the box and had a smile on her face.
Draco put his hands up in surrender and went to the box that was lying on the bed and ripped apart the Christmas wrapping on his present. The cover of the box showed a picture of an electro-acoustic guitar, with a sort of peachy colour body and maple neck. Draco quickly opened the box and pulled out the guitar carefully, examining it and running his fingers across its neck. He looked at Hermione and a huge grin was plastered onto his face. "First my wand and now this... How can I..."
"Don't, because that necklace is beautiful. I saw how you would play with an air guitar whenever you heard songs on the radio that had a guitar playing and you thought I didn't see." Draco blushed as Hermione spoke. "Harry knows how to play the guitar; you could ask him to teach you. I tried to learn but... I was never really good."
"Thank you..." He dropped the guitar carefully on the bed and went to Hermione, kissing her and running his hand down her back and through her hair. They left the room- still locked in a kiss and made it to Hermione's room which was presents free and made love there.
