"Hello students!" Dumbledore announced. It was breakfast in the great hall on Thursday.
"I know this is short notice, but we will be having a Yule Ball on the Saturday after Christmas for fourth years and up!"
Everyone's eyes widened. What the heck?
"You can go shopping for your dress robes if you need to tomorrow at the Hogsmeade trip while you buy some last minuet gifts." He told them.
"So, Hermione, I'm not even going to ask who you're going with, and I'm going to ask Ginny, so who are you going to ask, Ron?" Harry asked. Hermione laughed at his comment.
"Im not sure yet." He said as he blushed.
"We know you want Lavender" Hermione said to Ron as she tried to hold back laughter.
Ron turned an even darker color crimson and suddenly become extremely interested with his food.
* * *
Draco sat on his bed in his dormitory, trying to figure out what to get Hermione for Christmas. It was a very hard decision. He didn't want to be predictable and get her a book, because, well, everyone gets her books.
He needed to get her something special, something that stands out from the rest of the gifts, like Potters and Weasley's. He needed something that would be special to her heart forever.
He had it! Something with pictures, something that came from the heart. Draco jumped up and began to rummage through his closet.
* * *
Hermione sat on the couch in the Gryffindor common room, doing her arithmancy homework.
Harry came down the steps from the boy's dormitories, and walked up to the couch.
"Hey, Mione, what do you think I should get Ginny for Christmas?" He asked her as he fixed his black round glasses on his face.
She looked up from her book and gasped.
"What?" He asked
"Draco! I don't know what to get him!" She yelled as she jumped off the couch.
"So?" Harry asked. He obviously didn't care what she got him.
She sighed, frustrated.
"I need to get him something special!" She told him, raising her voice.
"Well, you can pick out something when we go to Hogsmeade this weekend." He told her calmly.
"Right," Hermione said as she took a deep breath "ok"
* * *
Draco walked around Finette's Frames and Photos, looking for the perfect gift. He knew what he was getting her; he just needed the right one. As he looked at a glass case his eyes widened and he smiled.
It was perfect. He walked over to the counter and told the woman what he wanted.
He took a piece of paper out of the pocket in his robes and set it on the counter. He turned it towards the clerk and began telling her what else he wanted.
* * *
Hermione looked around the quidditch supplies store. She didn't want to get him a broom or anything, something that wasn't going to get broken either.
She walked over to a display rack and her eyes widened. She knew at that exact moment she had to get him that. She ran her fingers over the gold and smiled.
She ran over to the counter and pointed to the gift. The man smiled and nodded.
Then she began to tell him how she also wanted it.
* * *
Hermione walked into the Three Broomsticks with Harry and Ron. Ginny was off with Lavender somewhere shopping for clothes. As they looked around for a seat, she spotted Draco sitting in a booth with his goons, Crabbe and Goyle.
"Be right back" She said to Harry and Ron and walked over to the table.
She tiptoed up to the booth and kissed Draco on the cheek.
He squeaked and jumped 3 inches out of his seat. He looked wide-eyed at Hermione and motioned for her to sit down. She gladly took the seat and Draco stared pointedly at the two goons.
Finally they got the point and hurriedly left.
"Potter and Weasley are still waiting for you, you know that right?" Draco asked as he smirked.
She raised an eyebrow and looked over to the door. She laughed and motioned for them to come over.
They walked over and looked at Draco skeptically.
"Do you want to sit down?" Draco asked, obviously forcing himself to say it.
"Sure...." Harry answered as him and Ron slowly sat down across from them.
Ron and Harry started to whisper to each other so Draco and Hermione couldn't hear.
"So, love, do you want to go to the ball with me?" Draco asked her. She smiled at him.
"Of course" She told him as he kissed her lips. She smiled and kissed him again.
"O that's just bloody disgusting" Ron said, putting his hand over his mouth.
"Well, you know your going to have to get used to it." Harry told him.
"Yeah, I know" He told him.
They talked for another hour or so, well, Ron and Harry didn't talk to Draco, but they still talked.

It was the 24th of December, and Hogwarts was a mad house.
It turned out, Draco, Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Ginny, were staying at Hogwarts for Christmas.
Hermione sat in front of the fire in the head common room. She ran her thumb over her package for Draco. She hoped he liked it.
"Hey Mione" A voice whispered in her ear.
She jumped and fell off the couch. She sighed.
"Hello Draco" She said as she got up.
"Happy Christmas eve" He said as he kissed her.
"Back at you" She smiled and sat back down on the couch. He sat down beside her and she leaned up against him.
"I love you so much" He said before he kissed her head.
"I love you too." She told him. He took her hand in his and kissed it. "Lets just fall asleep right here tonight, ok?" He asked her.
But she didn't respond. She had already fallen asleep. He smiled and magicked a blanked to cover them.
* In the morning *
Hermione's eyes flickered open and she smiled. She had fallen asleep with Draco on the couch on Christmas Eve. Now that was a Kodak moment.
Draco woke up and sat up. Hermione stretched and turned towards him.
"Happy -" But before she could get it out, he had already pulled her in for a kiss. She smiled against his lips and giggled.
He pulled away and raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"Nothing" She said. She smiled and reached for the present she got him.
"Here" She said. He slowly took it out of her hands. Then he set it down in his lap and reached for hers.
He handed it to her and her eyes started to sparkle.
"Lets open it at the same time ok?" Hermione said. He nodded. "Go!" She yelled.
They both ripped off the paper like animals. Draco came up with a black velvet box, and Hermione with a box (like those ones with shirts in them from JCPenny).
"You open the box first." Draco said as he tucked a piece of hair behinds her ear.
"Ok" Hermione slowly lifted the lid off the box and gasped.
It was a photo album. It had a silver plate on the front with roses around the edges (not real ones, they were engraved sorta). Then in the middle, there was a poem engraved. It said:
"I used to be so dark,
So mean, that it left a mark.
No one knew the way I felt,
So I figured the ice on my heart had to melt.
Then, there was you,
Along with the other two.
I knew you were the one,
So bright, and full of fun.
So, I got you close to my heart,
Something unable to chart.
I no longer am dark,
And that truly leaves a mark."
She slowly opened the album and began to feel herself begin to cry.
The first page had a picture of when Hermione helped Draco with his homework right after Harry and her had gotten together.
Each page had one picture on it.
The rest of the pictures were of:
Their first kiss,
Draco listening to her sing,
When she comforted him when his mother died,
The whole moment with Draco singing, the kissing, and the getting together,
The Halloween ball,
The hospital wing,
The fight,
The reconciliation (ily),
Hospital wing again,
And the three broomsticks the weekend before.
Hermione looked up at Draco and began to cry.
"Oh! Love, what's wrong?" He asked her. He set the album aside and pulled her into a hug.
"Thank you so much! Its so beautiful!" She told him"
"Your welcome. You didn't see part of though" He said as he pulled away and picked up the album again.
"I didn't?" She asked as he opened it and untied a string on the inside.
He held out his hand, and there in it were two rings. They had a stone in them that was half green, half red.
She gasped as he picked one up and gave it to her.
"They're promise rings. Look on the inside." He told her.
She turned the ring so she could see the inside. There, engraved in the gold, were the words "Draco and Hermione forever". Then next to the words were a lion and a snake.
She gasped and slid it onto her finger.
"Its beautiful. I love it." She said as she kissed him on the nose. He smiled and took a chain out of his pocket and put the ring on it. He put it around his neck and picked up his gift.
"I hope you like it." Hermione told him. He opened the box and gaped.
It was a collector's edition golden snitch. Around the edge, it said, "Love overcomes all". He slowly took it out of the box and held it up.
"Hermione, this is the greatest thing I've ever gotten. Thank you so much" He said as he put it back in the box.
"Your welcome" She said as she laid down and put her head on his lap.
"I love you so much Hermione" Draco said as he leaned down to kiss her.
