A/n This is the last chapter in this story. There will be a sequel. Don't worry; I'll have it out ASAP. I am going to start another story (Harry/Ginny I think) so hang tight, and I will start the sequel. The title will be Bleeding Heart. Oh- one little note- has anyone ever heard Hermione dirty her mouth with naughty words (that's another one, Brie. Naughty ^^) SO, in my mind, Hermione is still a goody-goody, and she doesn't dirty her mouth. But… you know, some other people do ^^.

Christmas. Everyone's favorite holiday. Especially for Hogwarts. All six of the runaways, Draco, Ginny, Harry, Hermione, Lavender, and Ron, had returned to Hogwarts when Dumbledore had been found. Everyone was a bit reluctant to leave their beautiful homes, but Dumbledore said that they could have them back (slight eye roll as he said this) when their 7^th year ended. So, as it was, everyone was enjoying their nice warm rooms, and hot Hogwarts breakfasts during this favorite season. Mistletoe was hung over every entrance in the castle, some of them (like the charms one for instance) were charmed to throw every fifth person who walked under it, into the closest person of the opposite sex. There were the normal gigantic Christmas trees in the great hall, and a light, color-changing snow magically fell from the ceiling. Fairies flew around every leaf of mistletoe, and circled couples or a boy and girl, trying to cast a spell to make them fall in love, but always ended up just giving them a fireball when their spells got mixed up. This only happened once in a while, but was a good call for screams.

As Draco and Hermione came back from their holiday, as they liked to call it, they found that people were looking at them stranger than ever. They still believed that slytherins and Griffindors didn't, couldn't, and would never be together. Draco and Hermione proved them wrong. They enjoyed every second that they had together, and each other was all that they could think about when they were not together. Sitting in charms the day before Christmas vacation, Ron slammed his quill down on the desk, and a loud crash came when his charms book slid on the ice charm that the class had been practicing on their desks. "God damn it! I can't concentrate! I have everything on my shoulders right now! I need to get out of this fucking castle!" Harry looked at Hermione who shrugged. The Ravenclaws in their class gave appalled looks to Ron when his books fell to the floor. "Why don't we go to our homes for vacation?" Harry suggested, looking at the other two. "I can't. Draco and I have to stay for the vacation. You know, head boy and girl stuff." Ron rolled his eyes. "Fuck it. Fuck the whole load of it. Head boy and girl stuff. You know that the only reason that you're staying is so that you can-" Hermione gave him a hard push, and he sniggered at her bright face. "Ron!!!" he stopped laughing and grabbed his book off of the floor.

At lunch, a letter, a happier, (its like a howler, only happy. Not mean. And if you don't open it then envelope starts to dance and will open automatically, shooting purple or pink liquid that smells like about a bazillion perfumes at your face. And the people are usually screaming really happily.) And the daily post arrived in front of Ron. The sides of the happier began to quiver, and Ron quickly opened it.

"RONALD WEASLEY!" Lavender's voice filled the hall. At this, most heads turned to Ron, who was beginning to go as purple as the envelope. He was clearly beyond embarrassment. "YOU WONT BELIEVE THE WONDERFUL NEWS WE HAVE! WE ARE GOING TO BE THE PROUD NEW PARENTS TO A BABY!! OMIGOD IT'S SOO COOL! DO YOU THINK THAT WE SHOULD NAME IT CERULEAN??? OR… OR… FOREST??? OMIGOD IM SOO TOTALLY EXCITED!! GOTTA GO HUNNY DUKKE!!" Ron was turning green… as well as the teachers and most of the students. Mr. Ronald Weasley… going to have a kid… he turned away from the letter and threw up the sausages that he had devoured a few minutes ago. ('Ronald, is that morning sickness you have??' sniggered someone from the slytherin table.) Ron turned green again and most of the students fled the hall when the letter seemed like it was about to continue. "OMIGOD SO LIKE, MEET ME LATER, AND WE CAN TOTALLY LIKE TALK THIS OVER! (Shrill girly laugh that could only belong to Lavender.) "BYE BYE!!" a thick cloud of purple smoke smelling strongly of, well, Lavender, surrounded Ron, who turned and threw up again. Hermione looked around. Lav wasn't at breakfast. She grabbed Ron's arm, signaled for Draco, Ginny, and Harry to follow, and marched them to the library. It was empty, but she walked to the back where the private study rooms were, and threw Ron into a chair. He looked like he was going to be sick again. Draco grabbed a trashcan and stuffed it under Ron just in time. "Gin, will you go get Lav?" Ginny nodded and left, casting a worried look at Ron. Hermione sat down on the edge of the table and shoved some hair behind her ear. "This isn't good." She muttered. It was silence when Lav came in with Gin. "Ok, Ron, Lav, talk it over. Gin, you want to stay? Your good with this stuff." Ginny nodded. "I've got some work that I have to do, so I'll stay too." Harry said, pulling a charms textbook out of his bag and putting it on the table. Draco rolled his eyes. "Nosy spy." He said, pointing at Harry. Harry rolled his eyes, and sat down. Hermione shrugged and took Draco's hand as they left the room.

That night, Hermione slipped into Draco's room to talk about Lav and Ron. "This is really bad. I can't believe that they didn't do anything about it!" Draco shrugged. "He didn't read the letter. It's from his parents, and He left it on the table. I picked it up and it-" Hermione snatched the letter off of Draco's desk and ripped the letter open. She read it out-loud to Draco.

Dear Ronald-

Dear, I have some terrible news. On the night of December 26^th, your father was murdered. I am so sorry, dear. But I hope that your Christmas was wonderful. The ministry is doing all that it can to catch the killer. They said that they will pull in some suspects and use a Time-Turner to go back and see what happened, but I doubt that they will since nobody was in the room. Well dear, have a wonderful rest of the break and year.

Your mother

Hermione gasped when she finished. "Murdered??" Draco looked shocked too. Not that he had ever truly met the man, he just knew who he was. "Mione, it's late. We should go to bed." Hermione wasn't paying attention. "This letter says that the murder was on DECEMBER 26^TH!! IT'S THE 19^TH! Something's not right…" Draco put his arms around her waist. "Mione, don't worry about it. It must have been a mistake." Hermione nodded, but a gut feeling told her that it was no mistake. "Draco?" "Mmmh?" he muttered into her hair. "I'm sleeping with you tonight." Draco responded with another mmm hmm, and found himself being pulled onto Hermione.

It was one in the morning. Both were asleep in Draco's bed when the window opened, and a thick blanket of snow whirled in. A shadow came in and walked to the foot of the bed. Hermione sighed heavily and buried herself deeper into Draco's chest, shielding herself from the cold draft that came through the room. Two other shadows came into the room, and stood behind the first. Their hoods blocked any height from reaching their faces, but if a light were shone onto their bare heads, the shiner would have seen a pale white ghost standing at the foot of the bed. The closest figure to the bed slowly smiled, baring sharp, yellowing teeth. Another wave of wind came, and Hermione moaned, moving closer still to Draco. The shadows backed up as her eyes fluttered open. She sat up, her arm tightly around Draco as she looked over at the window. She groaned as she stood up, and walked to the window. Her naked skin had Goosebumps rising up as she closed the source of the cold. She was about to crawl back into the bed next to Draco when a pair of strong arms grabbed her around the waist and covering her mouth. She gasped and bit the dirty hand in front of her. "DRACO!!" She screamed. Draco sat straight up in bed and looked wildly around. The clouds in front of the moon moved, and a thin light illuminated a large knife at Hermione's neck, and a shadow holding her. She screamed again. Draco went to stand up when a something yellow came at his head. It struck him and he lay unconscious as the light hit Hermione too. Both unconscious, the shadows tied Hermione to the bedpost, and took Draco. Two of the three jumped out of the window onto brooms, and the last paused at the window, throwing Draco to the floor. He removed his hood, and muttered a counter curse. "Awakeneiss," Hermione's eyes opened and she looked to the window. Lucius Malfoy was grinning evilly as he jumped out of the window. Just then, Hermione felt another gut feeling as she realized that she was naked, that she was tied up, the window was open, and Draco was gone. She began to weep. Strong shudders filled her lungs as she gasped for breath. Draco was gone. AMANDEMOR her mind screamed suddenly. But Her eyes were swollen, and her body was ice cold she passed out before she could think about the curse.

Draco was awakened in a dungeon. His arms chained above his head, legs chained to the wall, and back aching. A cloaked figure came in with two small chicken bones, which he gave to Draco, and a small glass of blood, which he forced Draco to drink. Draco gagged as the red liquid flowed down his throat, and quickly threw it all back up. The hooded man grinned, and pulled out his wand. "Craticus." Draco screamed and fell to his knees. Blood pounded in his ears, and he felt a warm trickle of it roll past his temple. The spell was released from him a second later, and he hung his head. Two drops of blood hit the floor, along with two tears. This was torture. Pure torture. It seemed as though he would never be able to leave this horrible dungeon. Draco thought back as to why he was here. What did he do to deserve a torture? He couldn't seem to remember, but he would soon enough. He passed out standing up, his head still hung, and when he woke up, he raised his head. "Hermione." He moaned. With that, he passed once more, and did not wake up for a long time.
