The next morning, Hermione woke up and headed to the bathroom. She looked herself over in the mirror. Her hair was messed up, she had bags under her eyes, and they were puffy, her mascara had streaked down her face. All in all, she looked like crap. She grabbed her toiletries and headed for the bathtub. Running the water as hot as she could get it she turned the other knobs. The bathtub filled with all sorts of different bubbles and she slipped into them. She floated around for a while thinking about last night.

'Landon is so cute. And so sweet. I really wanna get to know him better. You know, I only danced twice last night. Once with Draco and once with Landon. Come to think of it, I didn't see Draco after that. I wonder what he up to.'

She stayed in the tub until her skin turned pruney. She climbed out of the tub and slipped into her robe.

'I might as well get an early start on Christmas shopping.' she thought. She got ready for a day at Hogsmeade.

"Dissendium" said Hermione. The hump-backed statue opened up and Hermione slide quickly inside the narrow passage. She followed it until she got to the stairs. She climbed and climbed until she finally reached the trap door. She cracked it open to check and see if anyone was around. Seeing no one, Hermione climbed out and dusted herself off. She walked quickly and entered Honeydukes. Hermione looked around trying to decide what to get for Ron. She grabbed a package of Pepper Imps and some Cockroach Clusters as a joke. She grabbed some Fizzing Whizbees for Harry. She headed to a new book store called Barie's Books. She walked over to the isle labeled Muggle Books. She picked out her favorites as a Christmas present for herself. She saw a book titled Little Known Facts About Astronomy.

'That would be a perfect gift for Draco!' she grabbed that book too. She went up to the counter to pay for them. Draco's book was a bit more expensive than Hermione would have expected. She paid more for Draco her enemy than she did for Harry or Ron. 'Oh well, what they don't know won't hurt them.' She left for Hogwarts.

When Hermione entered the Common Room, she saw a big package sitting in the middle of the room. Draco was still in his room and hadn't bothered to come out and unwrap it. She opened the note on it.

Miss Granger,

I thought you might like to add a festive spirit into your common room. Feel free it put it up whenever you like.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore

She tore open the package and saw to her delight a Christmas tree. She started putting it together and pretty soon, she had a fully erected, 7ft tall Christmas tree. Draco stepped out of his room and gave her a strange look.

"What are you doing?" he asked circling around the tree, surveying it.

"Decorating," she said simply.

"Don't you think it's a little too early to be putting up a Christmas tree?" he asked with a slight smile on his face.

"It's never to early. And besides, where would I put the presents?"

"Yea I guess."

"Do you wanna help me decorate it?" she asked hopefully.

"No," answered Draco.

"Please, pretty pretty please?" she said, giving him some puppy dog eyes.

"Oh alright. Just stop with the eyes." he said turning his head away and closing his eyes like he couldn't bear to take the puppy dog look. Hermione giggled and handed him some ornaments. Soon the Christmas tree was done.

"Looks pretty good if I do say so myself," said Draco. He was right the tree was gorgeous. I was decorated in silver and gold. The lights sparkled. Hermione had added some flames to sit on the branches like she had seen in the gardens at the ball. The angel at the top was magnificent. She looked exactly what Hermione thought an angel should look like.

"Yea. It looks perfect. Oh wait I almost forgot!" she said running from the room to go retrieve something from her room. She came back with presents in her arms and placed them under the tree.

"There," she said. "Now it looks perfect." she smiled up at him

"Yes it does," said Draco staring down at her.
