Chapter 9! Thanks for the reviews....
--------------------------------------------------------
Everyone was packing up to go on the Hogwarts Express for Christmas. All the Gryffindors ignored Hermione, all the Slytherins avoided Draco. It didn't bother them too much, because they had each other and they wanted to spend as much time together as they could before they would part for a few weeks.
"I don't know if I can do this. I mean, all I have is you." Hermione said, leaning on Draco's shoulder in their own private compartment.
"Well, all I have is you. Judging by our experiances these past few weeks, you are all I need. Slytherin kicked me off the Quidditch team. I don't know what I'll do if my father found out. He would murder me." Draco replied.
"Or me. If we ever tried to make this work outside of school as well. I will do anything for you. Even transfer to Slytherin. I'm out of the running for Head girl now."
"Not like I was everyones pick for Head boy when they found out I loved you. It feels like I've lost everything but at the same time I have had so much given to me. You help me to be better at school, at love and being a better person. If people don't like you because of me, maybe you should just leave this compartment right now."
"Shut up! I wouldn't do that and you know it. They think you're the evil one, but who cheated on me?" Hermione snuggled up closer and kissed him. Staying that way for the rest of the journey.

"Merry Christmas!" Hermione's parents cried out as she walked into the living room.
It would be alot more merrier if Draco was here, Hermione thought to herself. She looked at the clock, it was eleven. She had barely had any sleep and woke up with her journal on her chest. Writing how much she missed him, that she loved him and that nothing else mattered.
While Hermione sat with a present in her lap, about to open it, the doorbell rang. She walked slowly to get it. She had become hopeful when the bell rang. She knew in her heart it would just be some relatives with pudding and wine. Sure enough it was. Her Aunt and uncle and bitchy cousin, Mandy.
"Didn't even get dressed this year, Germy." Mandy said as she walked in the door. Hermione quickley ran to her room to get changed. She just slipped on her black skirt and green top and tied her hair in a loose ponytail.
The doorbell rang again. Hermione ran to get it as Mandy and company were settling in. She didn't even look up as she said hello. When the familier voice said replied. Hermione looked up and gasped.
"I've missed you so much. You shouldn't be here, though." Hermione whispered, stepping outside and starting to walk with him.
"Well, risky or not, we both know it's right to be with your loved ones at Christmas. I used my new firebolt to get here. Hop on." Draco helped her on. She wrapped her arms around his waist as they took off towards the muggle park Hermione liked to visit.
"I thought we should come here. I mean, it's deserted and you look like you could use cheering up." Draco kissed her before they sat down together.
"I've missed you so much and I do worry about you being here, but it was really sweet of you to come. Thank you. There is just so many things I want to say. I'm lost without you. I'm counting the days where we can go back to school and not have to sneak around." Hermione explained. Draco just kissed her, making up for all the time they were not together.
--------------------------------------------------------
An hour later, Hermione went back to her house. She hugged Draco with everything she had before going back inside. He watched her go. He wanted so much to be there for her, but he knew he had to go back to his parents without her. He sped back, not commenting as he went in the door and went up to his room. Lucius Burst in the room with a letter in his hand, Narcissa was standing in the doorway.
"Just recieved an intresting owl from the Parkinsons. Apparently, you have hurt their daughters feelings. Care to explain."
"So what? I don't like Pansy." Draco replied, pissed off.
"If I didn't look to you to follow me, I'd slap you now. Tell me. Why did you dump a perfectly good pure blood?" Lucius asked.
"I just don't like her. There is no other reason for it. I can't be forced into things, dad." Draco replied.
"Well, thats too bad, they're downstairs and I've invited them for dinner. Pansy is on her way upstairs right now. She is going to change your mind about things I hope."
The door shut and Draco knew he didn't have much time. He grabbed his book bag, a spare pari of robes and some money. There wasn't enough room for everything on his firebolt. He quickley packed his supplies and flew out his window. Not looking back he heard the scream of Pansy.
"MUDBLOOD SLUT!" He heard before he was far enough away to block things out and daydream pleasantly of Hermione.
