A/N: This chapter is going to put me over 20,000 words! Yay! Sorry I'm strange.
Recap: Hermione lets out a bit of aggression and Draco hears (whoops :] ) and Hermione hears a strange conversation in Hogsmeade with Mandy.
On with the story!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Now Hermione and Mandy were running down the second floor corridor.
"Hermione, stop!" Mandy yelled gasping for breath while leaning against the wall.
"Are you trying to get somewhere?" Dumbledore said walking up to the girls with his blue eyes twinkling.
"Actually, we were trying to find you sir. You see we heard a conversation." but Hermione was cut-off by the headmaster.
"In the three broomsticks. The ministry has been tracking those two since this morning. The hooded one happened to be here last night. We think he sent me there but when I got there they told me I was not sent for. Don't worry about it Miss Granger, it shall all be taken care of," He said smiling at the two and walking away.
Hermione was about to say something but Mandy stopped her. She wanted to get their bags up to their rooms as soon as possible, she felt as if her arms were going to fall of her torso any second.
When Hermione finally placed her bags in her room she took out a piece of parchment and scribbled a quick note to her parents. She still needed to get one more present. She folded the parchment and handed it over to Mandy's owl Harold. The gray owl fluttered out of the window and over the icy lake, which was dusted with a faint covering of snow.
Hermione decided to get her Christmas wrapping over with. She pulled the bright multicolored bag from Zonko's up to her and pulled out three boxes. The first box was wooden and painted purple. Written on it in gold lettering were the words "Filibuster Fireworks". Hermione smiled while wrapping it in orange Chudley Cannons wrapping paper thinking about when Fred and George Weasley would set them off in the Gryffindor common. The next box was blue and written on it in white were the words "Leonard's Laughing Lollies". Hermione didn't know exactly what it was but she figured Harry and Ron would enjoy it. The final box was a simple wooden box. Burnt into the top in fancy script were the words "Jumping Jigglies". Hermione didn't know what these were either but she put the three wrapped boxes into another bag. Surprisingly it wasn't heavy.
Next she pulled out a bag from her closet. She pulled out a beautiful mirror. It had an intricate silver pattern around the edge and when you held it in front of you it told you exactly what to wear. She wrapped it up and put a charm on it to protect it from breaking. She put it in the bag with Harry and Ron's gifts hoping that Ginny would like the mirror. She put the bag next to bed and planned on giving it to Harold when he came back.
By the time she finished wrapping the gifts it was eleven thirty and she was exhausted. She put the gifts in a pile in her enormous closet and threw on a big maroon sweatshirt and some black sweat pants. She cuddled under her sheets with Crookshanks purring beside her as she pet her back. She fell asleep quickly but woke up once or twice because of nightmares of the hooded man.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco grunted as he woke up. He turned towards the hospital wing door as he stretched his arms to see Hermione walking through it with a tray in her hands. The smell of cinnamon erupted in the air as she approached his bed. She rolled a table next to them and placed the tray on top.
"Well good morning," she said to Draco. "We thought you would never wake up."
"Why, what time is it?" he said drowsily squinting his eyes as the bright sun peered through gargantuan windows of the hospital wing.
"It is a quarter past one,"
"Wow," Draco said combing his hair back with his fingertips. Soon his attention went from his hair over to what was on the tray. The smell of cinnamon came from the two piping hot cinnamon buns and the smell of herbal tea was now comforting him. "Where did you get this stuff?" he said with excitement in his slate eyes.
"Oh, from the kitchens," she said picking up one of the cups of tea. She saw the bewilderment in his eyes. "You don't think Fred and George Weasley forgot to tell us do you?" she said grinning at him. "You can have one," she said. Almost instantly he grabbed the gooey cinnamon bun and plunged it into his mouth. He practically engulfed the sweet bread in a matter of four seconds.
"Where is my mom?" Draco said after swallowing the last bit of his cinnamon bun.
"Charlie and Emma begged her to play with them in the snow. They wanted me to come to but your mother said she wanted me to check if you were still alive up here," she said chuckling a bit at the bit of icing from the cinnamon bun left on is upper lip.
"What?" he said wiping his left cheek. This made Hermione laugh even more.
"What?" he said now frantically wiping both of his cheeks. This made Hermione laugh so hard that she could barely breath and she was about to fall of her seat.
"God Hermione, where is it?" he said wiping his nose. This made Hermione fall of her chair wheezing with laughter. He looked down from his bed at Hermione nearly crying from laughing so hard. She just barely blurted out the words, "It's right here," when she pulled him down to the ground from his tank top onto the floor while trying to wipe it off of him. Now the two of them were laughing uncontrollably on the floor. The two of them finally were able to control themselves enough sit up. Hermione still giggling a little took her hand and wiped the icing off his upper lip. The two of them let out a small chuckle while staring into each other's eyes.
"Well it seems that you are well enough to leave here," Madame Pomfrey said standing behind them tapping her foot.
Soon Draco and Hermione were leaving the hospital wing laughing as they walked towards the prefect common room. When they walked in Justin and Mandy weren't present. It seemed that the two of them were taking a little "stroll". Draco and Hermione decided to go down to see what Draco's mother, brother and sister were doing. They both headed into their separate rooms and got changed. Draco walked in and began pulling warm clothing out of his dresser. Almost instantly noticed an awkward shimmer of gold on the top of his dresser. The mask Hermione wore on the night of the masquerade was placed next to his own. Its gold sparkles and purple sequins shimmered in the light and the two rhinestones caught glimmers of color. He smiled at the thought of Hermione and her beautiful amber eyes looking deeply into his. Then he began to frown. The thoughts of her began to be painful to him. He couldn't bear it anymore. He had never wanted something so bad and not been able to have it.
He solemnly left his room only to see Hermione standing in their common room. They walked out of the school silently to find his brother and sister building a snowman by the lake. Soon Charlie and Emma noticed his blond hair in the distance and came dashing for him instantly. They hit him with so much power that he fell back into the snow.
"Dwaco, Dwaco, your back! Play wiff us now!" they yelled while jumping around their brother. Soon Draco was dragged towards the snowman, which was being built. Hermione turned around and decided to walk back to the castle. Suddenly she was hit in the back of the head with a snowball. She turned around to see Draco grinning at her with another one in his hand.
"Don't tell me you aren't going to fight back Granger. That is no fun," he said still grinning at her. She quickly grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at him. It hit his right arm and instantaneously he started chasing her. Snowballs were flying threw the air and everyone was dodging a new one every second.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Somehow Hermione was able to hide behind a tree in the midst of all of this and watch Draco, Charlie and Emma chuck snowballs at each other. Draco was smiling in a playful way and the five year olds giggled as snow flew everywhere. Hermione felt that Draco had changed so much. It really bothered her that he couldn't change. Then she remembered his words, "I'd do anything." She wondered if he really meant it. She was brought out of her train of thought by making eye contact with a certain Slytherin and seeing a snowball come charging toward her face.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco opened the door to his room and dove onto the four-poster bed. He took of his snowy wet clothes and put on some warm ones. After he got warm he took out a few spell books, some parchment and a bottle of ink and started his holiday homework. He decided to work on his potions, his favorite subject and the easiest for him to get done. They all had to write an essay on the history of memory potions. His thoughts soon lingered on to Hermione, as usual.
"She looked so beautiful out there. Like a snow angel," he thought to himself. Her eyes never left his mind and they always seemed to find their way to his. When ever she looked at him a strange sensation that he never felt before spread throughout his body. All he wanted to do was stare into those amber eyes forever. At this point, he felt as if her eyes were his addiction. All he could hope for was for her eyes to meet his. Suddenly he felt that pain, as if knives were stabbing at his heart, and he frowned again and brought his thoughts back to his potions homework and left the thought of her amber eyes in the back of his head.
