Draco backed away, Hermione moaned, Draco laughed quietly.

"You're completely hopeless." He said, Hermione just moaned louder.

"I'm in love you twit, and you're supposed to be too." She said grabbing onto Draco jacket; he didn't want her to let go, but, he knew they'd have to go to classes, Draco smelt her hair when he kissed her, 'Strawberries.' he thought, they checked to see they looked respectful, then, walked out and to their classes.

"Good morning class." A murmur swept throughout the room. "Today we shall be learning how to transform fellow students into animals." An applause broke out through the seventh years, Hermione smiled, she remembered her first time at turning a person into an animal, it was long before seventh year, that's all she could say! She smiled to herself remembering that glorious day, last day of 6th year, and, turning Draco Malfoy into 'the amazing bouncing ferret' once again, it almost bought a tear to her eye.

"Ok, class, pair up and we'll do the basics, first we'll learn the wand movements, then in incantation, not the other way around this time." She said, her eyes hanging on a pig-tailed girl with rosy cheeks, partially guilty of an accident between her and another classmate, Hermione made the mistake of teaching them the incantation before the wand movement, lets just say the victim is still trying to grow ALL of her hair again.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------

Hermione was walking to lunch when she heard Ginny calling her.

"Hermione! Hermione! Wait up! I've got something to tell you!" Hermione spun around, Ginny crashed into her, and their books went flying, narrowly missing a flock of first-years who scattered screaming.

"You must call me Prof. Granger." Hermione said smiling, Ginny laughed.

"S-sorry Her- Prof Granger." Ginny said panting, Hermione laughed.

"Yes Miss Weasley?" Ginny scrunched her nose at being called this; Hermione smiled but ignored it.

"Ummm... What was I sent to do.. OH YEAH! Teacher thingy in the thingy!" She said, but Hermione looked puzzled.

"Oh, well, that's a relief, before you said that I had no idea what you were talking about!" She said, Ginny laughed and then something clicked.

"Staffroom!" Hermione thanked Ginny and ran to the staff room, she entered the hall leading to it running, she slowed down to a halt before she opened the door, she calmed herself down, got a glass of water, sculled it down, vanished it and entered.

"Ahhh... Hermione, I expect you received my message?" Hermione nodded and sat down, trying to calm her breathing, 'Oh, I hope my nose isn't flaring, it always does that whenever I'm puffed!' No one commented on the inflaming of Hermione's nose the whole meeting.

"Now, as everyone knows, we have a special activity for Christmas, (Nods, Hermione stared, 'Damn, a little bit late and I'm already out of the hoop.'.) now, we shall present the school with the news tonight at dinner, Hermione, you shall lead Fred and George."

"Ummm... Albus, may I ask what is going on?" Albus smiled and nodded.

"Well, while you were coming, we were discussing a special request for Christmas, so, for Christmas, we shall have a little, 'Reunion' if you'd like to call it, but, it is more like a welcome back thing, see, after Fred and George left, I have never quite forgotten the little, 'present' they left for dear old Umbridge." Hermione couldn't help but smile a bit, she thought beck to fifth year and remembered the swamp, she held back a giggle, she realised that Draco was also smiling, he hated her, it was only because she gave him authority that he liked her, or, I should say, pretended to like her.

"Yes, but, why are they coming back? I mean, we usually don't chase up students and let them come back."

"Well, your logic astounds my Hermione, it always did in a matter of fact, aint that right Fred?" George said, entering the staff room, Draco sneered, 'they went to the kitchens.' They had some food in their hands and were drinking butterbeer, Hermione jumped up and ran to them, she was so happy they were here, she missed having a good laugh and watching Filch get crossed, she suddenly looked in his direction and saw him scowling, Fred saw this and winked at Hermione, who only laughed.

"Well, I would like you to meet our new DADA teachers, Mr Weasley's!" Hermione beamed as they sat down in seats, suddenly, a question popped in her head.

"Uh- what about the store?"

"Why do you think there are two of us-?"

"-So one can manage while the other teaches!" Fred said, ending George's sentence, Hermione just nodded and smiled, this was the best Christmas present ever!

"Hey, want to catch up?" Fred asked Hermione while walking out of the staff room, Hermione nodded; she spotted Draco.

"We have a LOT of catching up to do." Fred and George smiled, they didn't mind Hermione seeing Draco, they thought it was quite funny, in fact, Hermione thought they took everything a bit too funny sometimes.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Man! I don't think I've ever seen anyone get under that guys skin as much as I did when I saw him after he heard the news about you and Draco!" Fred roared with laughter while George told the story of Ron, Hermione was in tears.

"-And- and then, get this, he tries to threaten! I mean, my little brother! The one who I gave a job to, threatening me!" Fred clapped his hand and George roared, Hermione loved seeing those two as a pair again, she missed their stupidness, well, they weren't really stupid, just not interested in school, they were actually quite smart, Hermione was absolutely fascinated by their inventions, they gave her free samples, they were, well, there's no other word, AWSM!! (A/N: ok, that might not be a real word, but, it stands for awesome, it just my way of shortening, only, in this it didn't shorten because now look at what you made me write!)

"Hey Hermione, what going on with you and Mal-I mean, Draco?" Fred said; Hermione tried to ignore the error.

"Well, as you know, he did save me. (Fred and George nodded, not needing an explanation) and well, we became friends, I mean; I didn't know it was going to end out how it did, it just, well, did! And, I wouldn't take any of it back." Hermione said ending her speech, both Fred and George nodded, and then broke into smiles.

"What?"

"Wait till Ron hears this!"

"You better not!" Hermione chased the boys all around Hogsmade the rest of the afternoon.

"We-well, that was en-en-entertaining!" Fred puffed as they made their way back to Hogwarts, Hermione and George were laughing, after Fred caught his breath, he laughed too.

"Meh, George was always the sportier one."

"Yes brother dear, but, you were the most inventive." Fred smiled superiorly and they cracked up again.

Fred and George were in Hermione's room, they would go to their owns, but due to the sharing part, they were waiting for Dumbledore to give them separate rooms.

"So, what you gonna say when you introduce us?"

"Ok, heres what I've come up with so far- 'Welcoming, the two dunderheads of year 2003, when they tragically left due to misfortune, Fred and George!" Fred and George took turns in bowing and the other clapped them on, Hermione just laughed.

"Well, maybe you can work on the dunderheads part, but, other then that, it pretty good!" Fred said smiling.

"Ok, maybe I should 'compliment' you some more, like, 'lost in jokes, these men were subjected to violence as their only support, as they went through brutal bashing from Crabbe and Goyle, crying-." But Hermione couldn't finish, Fred and George had just tackled her and were tickling her into a laughing fit.

"Apologize!" Fred said, raised and twirling his fingers.

"I- I surrender!" Hermione yelled between pants.

"We asked you to apologize, not surrender!" George yelled, plunging his hands to her sides.

"I surrender! I'm sorry! Get off of me!" Hermione said, she was getting light-headed and was laughing hysterically.

"I think we taught her a lesson!" George said triumphantly, Fred slapped his brothers back.

"Got that right." Hermione stood up, her legs were a little bit wobbly, and she fell to the ground, causing them all to laugh harder.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

"Hermione?"

"Draco?"

"The one and only."

"Hey Draky, come in baby." Fred said in a girly voice, George sniggered.

"What the-?" Draco came in, Fred and George were standing there laughing their heads off, and Hermione was silently cracking up.

"Hi, my names Fred, I don't believe we've meet?" Fred extended his hand, Fred signalled that he didn't know him; Draco caught the idea.

"New beginnings?"

"Only the best for our Hermes." Fred said, Draco accepted his hand, Hermione beamed, 'new beginnings.' She thought to herself, she was so happy.

"Oi, get up! You gotta introduce us today!" Hermione felt a pillow whirl at her at she got up groggily, she was flung back onto her bed and Fred hooted with laughter.

"Fred, that wasn't nice, if she was to introduce us properly, we better be nice!" George said, extending his arm, Hermione didn't miss the mischievous glint in his eye.

"I'm not introducing you guys, oh no you don't." Hermione said, springing up and grabbing her wand and yelled out a spell, Georges legs snapped together and he fell to the ground, his spider-bite skidded along the room (Give your friends a nasty surprise when a realistic spider crawls out and bites them!), Fred roared with laughter.

"Our Hermes is growing up!" Fred stated, laughing at George's feeble attempts to escape, Hermione pointed her wand at Fred and put him in a full- bodied bind lock, it was Georges turn to roar with laughter. Hermione let them go when she was ready.

"Why in the world did you invent these?" Hermione asked, lifting the spider.

"Ron was the real brain behind this one." Fred said.

"Yeah, and he was oh-so surprised when we tested it on him, I guess it was like a match made in heaven." George said, wiping a fake tear from his eyes. Hermione rolled her eyes and told them to go to their rooms, and they left, after they left, Draco knocked on the door.

"Draco!" Hermione called, she flung the door open and pulled him inside to be greeted with a long kiss, Draco didn't back down, he loved getting welcomes like this; he smiled and kissed her harder.

'Hermes, we're bored!' Hermione smiled and almost choked on her egg roll as she read the note, she quickly scribbled a note to them.

'Go invent something!' She gave it to the owl and it zoomed off, Draco looked puzzled and she handed him the note, he grinned and chuckled, Hermione smiled

Throughout the day, Hermione kept going to their rooms, making sure they hadn't blown anything, they thoroughly enjoyed the attention, once Hermione had walked in, the whole room looked blown to pieces! She shrieked and George folded up his blanket and she saw that it was just an illusion, 'Bloody blankets of perish, just when I thought I'd seen it all' she thought madly as they both cracked up laughing, (A/N: the room was not harmed during the production of this scene.)

Hermione was sitting at dinner, she was excited, her two friends were joining her at Hogwarts, and she was ecstatic!

"Ladies and Gentlemen, if you'd all be as kind as to lend me your ears for a second." Hermione was thoroughly reminded of the extendable ears, she stifled a giggle. "Tonight it is a great honour to welcome back two of Hogwarts most- uh- uplifting students." Dumbledore said beaming at everyone, the Griffindor students sniggered.

"Now, to re-introduce, your new- DADA- teachers, Fred and George Weasley!" The whole room erupted with cheers and claps, Fred and George pretended to have just run a race and bowed and blew kisses to the ladies, Hermione laughed as they sat down, Hermione beamed as they were on her right.

"Now, after that glorious welcome." He was cut off by another loud clapping, Fred and George stood up again and bowed, Dumbledore beamed, Hermione was so happy, Draco was here, Ginny still liked her, there shall be those two back, yes, life was sweet!

"So, what did you guys invent tonight?" Hermione asked, Draco was leaning over Hermione to listen.

"We didn't invent, we basically went to Hogsmade and checked out our store."

"What? But-but I?"

"Hello! It is called lesson time you twit!" George said, Hermione blushed and stayed quiet.

"Hey, you guys need someone to help at the store, on holidays I mean." Draco asked, George howled with laughter, Fred spoke for him.

"Man, just because we forgot about our differences, doesn't mean Ron had, he still wants your blood man!" Draco smiled at this, Hermione giggled.

"So, you say you have spiders." Hermione rolled her eyes, she switched seats with Draco and just listened to their conversation the whole night, she felt her eyes droop and left dinner before anyone else.

"'Mione! Wake up 'Mione!" Draco said, practically bouncing on her bed.

"What for?"

"Today's Friday!" He said; he stopped jumping at looked at her in disgust at how she could have possibly forgotten, Hermione split into a grin.

"Fine, I'm up, I'm up."

Hermione barely crawled through the day, everyone was talking about Fred and George the whole day, she bumped into George a few times that day, he was teaching this week and Fred was taking care of the store.

Hermione sprinted down to the dungeons, she felt great, she knocked on the door, and Draco answered it almost immediately.

"Was worried you forgot we're my place was!" He said mockingly looking hurt, Hermione laughed as he dragged her in.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Draco?"

"Mmmm?"

"Do you love me?"

"Yes baby, I love you more then anything in the world, if I was to die to help someone I loved live, it would be you." By the time Draco had finished, he was on his elbows looking deeply into Hermione's eyes; she felt a tear go down her cheek.

"I love you too baby." Hermione said, pulling Draco down to kiss her again.

"Yo? Anyone seen my bag?" George yelled to the Griffindor common room, everyone looked to see whom it was and split into a grin, Ginny came running up.

"You're here! You're here!" Ginny said, Fred grabbed in a one-arm hug, George took his turn shortly afterwards.

"Hey, George, this what you looking for?" A student which George and Fred used for a guinea pig when they got their snivering snackboxes, handed them a bag, George thumped on the back.

"You're a good man Julian," George said, Julian beamed.

"So, who wants to buy-?"

"Fred!" Ginny yelled, they all laughed and George shrugged, they left the common tower and went to theirs rooms.

"Draco, don't stop, don't." Hermione was on the bed while Draco was pushing harder and harder every time Hermione moaned, Hermione shrieked with delight as he pushed up against her, they put a silencing charm on the room.

"Oh god, that was beautiful." Hermione moaned, Draco laughed and ran his hand up her thigh, she shivered but only because it was cold, she liked it none the less.

"Oh god, I feel great, again?" Hermione didn't even need an answer, Draco kissed her gently and they rolled on top of each other, Hermione yelled out in delight as Draco pushed up against her again, she loved it.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Hey, Hermes, where were you all yesterday?" George while pulling up a seat next to her, she blushed but didn't speak; Fred sniggered.

"I think she was getting reacquainted with Draco." Fred whispered to George but it was loud enough for Hermione to hear, she only blushed deeper.

"Hermione, can I talk to you after breakfast?" Ginny asked Hermione, Hermione nodded.

"What's up Gin?"

"It's about, Draco!" she hissed, Hermione smiled and pulled Ginny into a deserted room.

"What about him?"

"Ummm.. I think I really do- well- uh- how can I say this? - Love him!"
