Chapter twenty: Christmas at Grimmauld place.

Hermione landed on the floor with a thud, a very painful thud. She had landed on her arm the wrong way and it was throbbing. Once she got up she heard several groans from where everyone else lay scattered on the floor.

"I don't think I will ever like portkeys." Ginny said dusting the dirt of her pants as she got up.

"Ginny, Fred, George, Ron, Hermione!" Mrs. Weasley said running up to them and hugging them each.

"Mum what's happening?" Ginny asked the question that had been bothering everyone in this room. They saw tears well up in the woman's eyes.

"Ginny darling, you father was attacked while working in the Department of Mysteries earlier tonight." Molly told them. Ginny became silent with shock and lost all of her ability to speak. Hermione hugged her friend hoping to comfort her. Fred, George and Ron had all sat down and were clearly agonized by the discovery.

"Mum, is… is he okay?" She asked when she finally got her voice back.

"Your father will be fine dear," Mrs. Weasley said wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, "Some how Harry was able to see this and reported it to Dumbledore, Lupin and Moody found him right where harry had seen him. Harry saved him just as he has saved so many of us already." The woman said sitting down in a chair.

"Harry saw it, but how?" Hermione asked in confusion.

"Dumbledore supposes that Harry's mind is somehow linked to you know who's own mind." She said to Hermione.

"That's not a good thing," They all looked at her in shock "I mean it's good they found Mr. Weasley, I wasn't saying that that was a bad thing." She hastily said and they relaxed. "It's just that if he can see V-Voldemort's mind then it works in the reverse. If Voldemort becomes aware of this than we might not stand a fighting chance?" She told them and noticed that they understood the severity of the matter.

"Oh dear, you have a point." Molly said in shock.

"When is Harry going to arrive?" Ginny asked her mother, "I want to thank him, for everything, He has saved me, dad and potentially saved us all from Voldemort when he was a baby." Ginny said.

"He will be arriving around six; Dumbledore had some business to take care of with him." The woman said. "You all should go up stairs and try to get some sleep; tomorrow is going to be a long day." She said and all five teenagers went upstairs, knowing that they probably wouldn't be able to sleep.

OoOoOoOoO

Hermione was surprised to see that Ginny had actually fallen asleep, especially since it was she who couldn't. She lay there for an hour debating on what to do. She had fallen asleep once but only for about twenty minuets, she had had a nightmare and woken up crying.

She got up out of bed and looked at the clock that read four a.m. and then she grabbed her bag and wand and walked down stairs. She didn't know where she was going to go but she left a note saying that she was going for a walk. She slipped out the front door with out incident and she doubted any one would notice.

It was just so quiet out side that and that's why it was so calming, she didn't care that she was in her pajamas and a light jacket or that it was thirty degrees out side. She finally made it to a little café called 'The Twilight Café' about thirty minuets later. It was just opening by thee looks of it and it was warm so she went to sit in a little booth in the back of the tiny café.

"Can I get you anything Miss?" The waitress asked her as she pulled out her book and quill.

"A hot chocolate please." Hermione said smiling at her. The girl was small and she had platinum she didn't look much older than Hermione.

"Of course, it will just be one moment Miss." she said walking away, and once she was gone she opened her book and signed in.

Mi: Hi Draco, are you up? She asked and waited to see if she got a reply and almost instantly she did.

D: Couldn't be any more awake.

Mi: Why not?

D: Blaise and Crabbe have been arguing for five hours now. How about you?

Mi: I have been in… well I have no clue where I am exactly; I have been at the Black's old house. Arthur Weasley was attacked and they brought all of us here last night around midnight.

D: Damn your night has been worse than mine, When do I get to see you again?

"Here is your Hot Chocolate, Miss." The girl said sitting it on the table in front of her.

"Thank you." Hermione said looking at her book, but the girl didn't leave.

Mi: I don't know Draco, I guess whenever I get back to school.

"If you don't mind me asking," The girl said to Hermione "Are you okay, not many people come in here this early, especially people as young as you."

"Oh I'm fine." Hermione said. "My friends dad is in the hospital and her family and I were brought here to stay with them over our Christmas break, we are all very close to her father." Hermione said sticking as close to the truth as possible.

"Oh I'm so sorry that must be tough, I just thought that maybe you were lost or had been hurt." The girl said kindly.

"Oh it's okay." Hermione said taking a sip of her hot chocolate.

"Well if you need anything just let me know." The girl said and then walked away.

D: Where are you at?

D: hey are you still there?

D: Are you ignoring me?

Mi: 'The Twilight Café, yes and no. The waitress came back. Calm down.

D: Haha sorry, I have been there before although it's a very muggle café it's cool.

Mi: Oh that's cool.

D: Why are in your pajamas?

Hermione stared at the page, how did he know she was in her pajamas.

"I bet you are wondering how I knew that." She heard his voice say as he walked over to where she was sitting.

"How the hell did you get here so quick and why didn't you tell me?" She asked as he sat down across from her.

"I flooed my self to the wizard pub across the street," he smiled at her "and I wanted to surprise you." he said as he reached across the table for her hand.

"Well what a lovely surprise it is." She said as she saw the Waitress walking back to the table.

"You didn't answer my Question Mione." He said as the waitress reached them.

"Can I get you anything sir?" She asked and when he looked at her she blushed and Hermione tried not to giggle.

"No thank you." He said to her politely.

"Well if you change your mind let me know." She said quickly and walked away.

"She thinks you're hot." Hermione said teasingly and he raised his eyebrow at her. "She's right though."

"I was beginning to worry." He said sarcastically and Hermione rolled her eyes. "So what happened to Mr. Weasley?" He asked when Hermione put her book and quill back into her bag.

"We aren't really to sure." She sighed "He was in the Department of Mysteries and was attacked by something. Harry saw it through V-Voldemort." She said struggling with the name.

"Is he going to be okay?" He asked squeezing her hand in a comforting way.

"Yeah, he'll be fine, they found him quickly, if they would have found him just a few minuets later he would have died." She said gravely.

"I'm glad he's going to be okay, I may not like him but I can attempt to." He said grinning.

"That's what I love about you, Draco. You are so willing to try, even if it's something that you would rather not do." She said incredulously.

"I would do anything for you. I would even jump off of the Astronomy tower if you asked me to." Hermione could tell that he wasn't joking but she laughed.

"If I ever tell you to jump off that tower, I absolutely do not mean it. Don't you dare jump off of the astronomy tower." She told him and then she noticed what time it was. "Holy salt it's eight o'clock!" She shouted.

"Oh god it is." Draco said just as shocked.

"Where did the time go? Mrs. Weasley is going to freak when finds out that I'm not there." She said setting her bag on the table. "Harry was supposed to be there two hours ago, they must have noticed by now." She said as she put some money on the table. They walked out of the café quickly and they saw the girl watching them.

"I wish I could walk you back." He said wishfully.

"So do I, but you can't. That would make them freak even more." She told him.

"I love you." He said right before kissing her.

"I love you to Draco." She said before turning around and running back to the house.

OoOoOoOoO

She was about a block from the house when she ran into Harry and Ron, who had apparently been looking for her.

"Bloody Hell Hermione!" Ron shouted at her "Where in the name of Merlin have you been!"

"I'm so sorry, I went for a walk and I ran into a friend and I lost track of the time." She said frantically.

"We have been looking for you for two hours!" He continued to yell at Hermione. "What do you want?" He yelled at someone behind her and she spun around.

The girl behind them seemed to shrink in fear. "She-She left her bag at my family's café. I just thought I would try to find her." the girl said nodding towards Hermione.

"Oh," Hermione said, "Thank you for bringing it to me." She said walking over to the girl.

"I tried to find your friend, so that he could give it to you, but I couldn't find him, so I came this way." She said.

"There's no telling where he went, and thank you again. I appreciate that you brought it to me." Hermione said as the girl turned and ran away from them.

"What was that for Ronald!" Hermione shouted, "She didn't deserve being yelled at!" Hermione was very angry. "I just can't believe you." she said walking past him and back to the house.

OoOoOoOoO

"I can't believe we saw Lockhart, and Neville's parents." Hermione said when they got back to Grimmauld place two days later with Mr. Weasley. The hospital had released him on Christmas morning; it was a wonderful Christmas present for the Weasley's. "It's just so horrible that they were tortured that much." Hermione said referring to Neville's parents.

"That's Bellatrix for you." Ron said flopping down onto the couch as an owl tapped on the window. "Really?" Ron asked. "Right when I sit down."

Hermione jumped up from where she had been sitting she recognized the owl. "Stop whining Ron, it's not even for you." She said opening the window and taking the package from the bird.

"Who is it from Hermione?" Ginny asked from the stairs.

"Who do you think it's from?" She asked with a smile on her face and Ginny ran to her side.

"Now I'm interested!" Ginny said jumping as Hermione opened it. In her hands was a beautiful Pearl necklace with a heart shaped burgundy stone hanging form it.

"Oh my Riddle!" They both said as they stared at the beautiful necklace together. "That must have been expensive." Ginny said I awe. "I wish I had a 'friend' who would spend that much on me!" she said smiling.

Just as Hermione was about to shut the window another owl swooped in and dropped a letter in front of Ginny and Hermione and then swooped away. It was addressed to both of them.

"You do the honors." Hermione said as The boys complained about not knowing anything anymore.

The letter said:

Dear Hermione and Ginny,

Happy Christmas! I hope you holidays are fun, and send my regards to Mr. Weasley. I hear that he was in an awful accident when he incountered Nagini. Don't ask how I know who Nagini is. Tell everyone I said hi, I know they don't know me yet, but they will. Tell Ron I said he's a git and that I hate him, He may not have done any thing to offend any one yet, but he will and I dont like him, he has been making my life miserble since before i was even born; that is really saying a lot in my oppinion. I should not really go into the details... I have to go Professor Beeler, The Slytherin head of house, doesnt like me sending these letters. She says it's tampering with things that i sholdnt tamper with, I think she is wrong and I will make every thing right. Some day you will thank me... You will understand when that day comes... Holy Salt! here she comes I have to go!

Lots of love

Mira-Bella Brianne…

"That is weird." Hermione said.

"Hermione you don't think Mira-Bella is…" She trailed of with her bizarre thought.

"Is what?" Hermione asked.

"Never mind, She cant be anyways. Sending letters from the future is impossible, They have only just began working on beter time travel a letter is impossible, and plus Snape is Head of Slytherin house... But then if it was a letter from the future..." Ginny said, and suddenly Hermione understood what Ginny meant.

"Oh." was all she said.

OoOoOoOoO
