Mwhahah I got good reviews! THANK YOU ALL! I LOOOOOOVE YOU!! BoOkWoRm don't be sad! It will prevail! *laughs insanely*

Harry strode over to the fat lady. He winced in annoyance as he saw that her face was flushed and she dangling a bushel of mistletoe clumsily. Her cherry red face beamed as she tittered over, a glass of brandy carelessly between her fingers. The folds of her skin stretched into her smile and she was wearing a green/red Victorian dress. "Hullo lovers!" she chirped, winking impishly at Harry and Hermione. Both blushed reverently and Hermione shifted uneasily. Harry cleared his throat in a desperate attempt to down his heated face. Unfortunately it got even darker as he saw the women dangle the mistletoe even more at them.

Ron chuckled and simply winked back at the fat lady. She chuckled and whipped a tear from her glazed eyes. Him being the composed one of the trio; idly stepped up and chided in a sing-song voice, "Eggnog!" The smashed lady went aside and the portrait swung open to the common room. It had an airy sent of cinnamon and evergreen. The pungent fragrance sent their noses in the air.

Hermione slipped a book from under her dark cloak. She jumped into a comfy couch and sat cross-legged on the fluffy cushion before padding the vacant seat next her, beckoning for Harry and Ron. They smiled and sat next to her before turning their attention to the grinding of the painting moving. Lavender poked her head in and happily waved. Ron blushed slightly and waved back, sitting up. He moved to her and slung his arm over her shoulder. She brought her hand up to her mouth and subdued an affectionate giggle. "I thought I'd take Lavender for a walk and get back to guys later! Alright mates?"

The remaining two both nodded and waved them off. Heroine set her arm on her knee, chin resting on her palm, "They make such a cute couple..." she sighed dreamily.

Harry sat rigid and nudged her gently, "C'mon, you're starting to sound like Lavender herself and Pansy!" He snorted indigently at the thought and crossed his arms over his chest.

Hermione shot him a 'What did you just say!' look and sat up.

Harry felt a pang of guilt gnaw at him. He knitted his eyebrows together and sat up. "'Mione..."

"Don't ''Mione' me Harry James Potter! You've been acting very harsh lately!"

He could only shake his head and smile.

She narrowed her eyes and bent down to look him in the eyes for his head was hung. They were slightly...hazy like he was going to cry. Her gaze softened and she crooned, "I'm sorry Harry. I didn't mean to say your father name."

He gave her a lopsided smile and fought back the tears, "No more crying." he seemed to say it more to himself then to her. He took his robe sleeve and wiped off the offending crystalline droplets.

She flashed him a toothy grin and took his hand. She jerked him to her and slipped out her wand. She mumbled something and with a swirl of brilliant light something appeared. It was an old CD player. She tapped it again, summoning any song.

Over in the midst of the hassle snow-blown sky was a pair of pleased eyes. A hand reached out and with a snap of his fingers they laid back and listened. They both smiled inwardly at themselves and snuggled closer.

Harry locked his eyes with hers and cocked his eye brow in question. He snaked his arm around her waist and benevolently took her hand.

Hermione drew in a sharp breath her hassle green mesmerized. The feel of his warmth and touch sent pricks of ardor up her neck, hair standing on end with pleasure.

But she didn't know that Harry felt as light-headed as she, her slender arms around his neck as they swayed. It was almost like a trance. He inhaled the divine sent of lilac in her hair.

'Why am I doing this!' Hermione battled in her head with bewilderment. One minute she was content on sitting down to a little light reading (A/N: A book that she could hardly move. -_-;;) the next thing all her emotion for him bubbled up inside her abdomen and she had to do it!

Harry's thoughts were the same. Then he heard a barely audible voice call out, 'You love her...admit it you bloody idiot!' Harry's eyes narrowed incredulity, 'My conscience is a bloody ass!' 'Hey, lover boy, I heard that!'

Mentally slapping himself he held Hermione's waist firmly and his gawk softened. 'But that conscience is damn right.'

James crossed his arms and turned on his heal tetchily, then shoved his hands deep in his pockets. "MERLIN! He's stubborn!"

Lily only chuckled and brought his tight face to hers, "He learned from the best dear..."

He couldn't help but leer affectionately. "Some how...just some how damn it he will learn."

His wife nodded heartily and stroked his arm as they watched on as the befuddled duo waltz to the melodious harmony.

Me: W00000t! Hehe cliffy wiffy spiffy...er....niffy!
