Chapter one: the craziest christmas anyone ever had
"Harry, wake up, presents!" yelled Ron excitedly.
Harry groggily sat up, rubbing his eyes, and put on his glasses. Harry looked down at the foot of his bed and saw that his christmas present pile was a bit larger than usual. Upon closer inspection he saw that this was because he'd gotten three from Hermione. He opened the first one and was suprised to see...a book! Harry read the title Fantastic aphrodisiacs and where to find them. He blushed feircly, then chuckled, he and Hermione had been giving eachother things like this ever seince they had started going out earlier that year. there was a note attached
Harry, Merry Christmas! Last night was so wonderful. When you kiss me I feel like there could never be anything wrong with the world. I think that it is time we took the next step in our relationship. Meet me at the Astronomy Tower at midnight. lots of love, Hermione
Harry smiled mischeiviously. Then he opened the second present from Hermione. It was a home made scarf with the Gryffondor lion on the end. "Cool," thought Harry. Then he reached for the third present and could feel that it was a book too. "What a shocker!" thought Harry. He opened it up and found that it was a homework planner, with another note inside of it.
Harry, Be more careful with this one! I can't beleive that last one got stolen, and Ron's too! Some one must really want to keep their homework straight! lots of love, Hermione
Harry laughed out loud as he finished reading the note.
"What?" asked Ron
Harry tossed the note over to him. Ron read it quickly then also started laughing.
"Oh yes," he said. "I'm sure the fireplace has it's homework very organised."
Someone cleared their throat in the door way Harry and Ron looked and saw that it was a bushy haired person, a female bushy haired person, a female bushy haired person wearing a prefects badge, shit.
"Oh really?" she said accusingly.
"Errrrr well..." stuttered Ron. "We both have new ones now!" he held up the planner Hermione had also gotten him.
"Hmph!" said Hermione.
"We're sorry," said Harry, with sappy puppy dog eyes.
"Oh you two!" said Hermione, as she walked over to Harry and sat on his lap.
"Did you like my book?" she whispered into Harry's ear.
"Yes, yes I did," answered Harry, and they both started busting up laughing.
"I am seriously being left out of something here!" said Ron grupily.
"Yes, you are, don't worry about it, trust me, you want to be left out," said Harry.
Hermione helped Harry through the rest of hi presents. He got the usual package from Mrs. Weasley, a box of chocolate frogs from Ron, a suspisiouse looking box of treats from Fred and George ( which Harry decided not to eat,) socks from Dumbledore, a book all about Hippogriffs from Hargrid, and a small model of the moon from Lupin. Harry opened Ginny's present and found...boxers?
"What are these?" asked Hermione, as she held the boxers up.
"I have no clue," said Harry as he took the boxers and examined them. They were red and silky, with little white hearts on them.
"Why would she give you boxers?" asked Hermione
"I have no clue," Harry repeated.
Hermione didn't look very happy, but just at that moment she was disracted by something on Ron's bed. She squeled and jumped over to his bed. She held up a little danceing gorilla that sang "Let's get it on..." when you pushed it's tummy.
"What's this?" asked Hermione.
"Nothing," said Ron.
"Who's it from?" asked Harry.
"No one," said Ron, a hint of anger in his voice.
"Oh, come on!" said Hermione.
"NO!" snapped Ron.
"Fine, Mr. grumpy gills," said Hermione, sounding as if she's just been robbed of a great treat.
Then Ginny walked in.
"Hello!" she said cheerilly.
Harry held up the boxers and gave her a questioning stare, while cocking his head to one side.
Ginny giggled. "I thought they'd be funny," she said with a shrug.
She looked over at Hermione and started laughing, but inside she was filled with a surge of longing. Everyone thought that she was over Harry, but that was far from the truth.
Ron patted his stomach.
"Let's go get something to eat, I'm starving." *************************************************************** Once they had finished their breakfast, then waited another ten miniutes for Ron to finish, they decided to take a stroll on the lake. This soon turned into a snowball fight. Hermione tired of this quickly and anounced that she was going to the library. A few miniutes later Ron suddenly remembered that he had to meet someone and he bolted off.
Just as the red hair disapeared through the front doors of the castle Ginny turned to Harry and said, "Well, a snowball fight isn't very much fun with just two people, now is it?"
Harry shook his head. "Nope, it isn't," he replied. " What do you want to do?"
"I can think of a few things..." thought Ginny. She said, " We could take a walk."
"Sure," said Harry. "Sounds like fun." *************************************************************** Ron ran through the corridors until he reached the room of requirement. When he opened the doors he was not surprised to see the, by now familiar, romantic decorations, candles so on so forth. He was also not surprised by the girl he saw laying on the bed in a very skimpy mock santa outfit. It was Blaise, Blaise Zambibi.
"You're late!" she said angrily.
"I'm sorry," said Ron. "I lost all track of time."
Blaise sighed. "How can I be mad at a face like that?" Ron batted his eyelashes.
Blaise giggled, then said, "Now get over here and do what you came to do!"
"Yes ma'am!" *********************************************************************** Draco Malfoy decided to strech his legs and take a walk around the lake. He was about half way around the lake when he heard noises comeing from the woods off to his right. He decided to investigate. It didn't take long for Draco to find what he was looking for. in a small clearing he saw Harry and Ginny, passionetly snogging. Draco knew full well about Harry and Hermione's relationship; therefor, as he stood there, one word flashed through his mind, "blackmail."
"Well, well Potter what do we have here?" Draco drawled.
Ginny screamed and Harry cursed as they sprang apart from eachother.
"I never saw you as the cheating type," said Malfoy in a mocking tone, "you think you know someone so well...and then they go and do something like this."
"Shut up Malfoy," spat Harry.
"Just think how hurt Hermione will be when I tell her," taunted Malfoy.
"She'll never believe you," said Harry.
"Maybe she won't," said Draco in a very off hand voice.Then in a much more sinister tone he added, "but maybe she will. Are you willing to take that chance?"
The color drained from Harry's face.
Draco chuckled.
"That's what I thought," Draco said.
"What do you want Malfoy?" asked Harry
"Oh, so many things..." *********************************************************************** Once Harry had finished all of Draco's holiday homework, done every single little thing Malfoy had been told to do, and had been putting off, and done a thoural cleaning of the Slytherin common room, just because Draco wanted him to, Harry was exausted. It was around seven p.m. as Harry made his way back to his own common room. Then he suddenly remembered his date with Hermione, he decided to get in a short nap, he didn't want to be tired for that sort of thing. *********************************************************************** Harry made his way up to the astronomy tower. When he opened the door he found Hermione waiting for him. She went straight in for the kill. Harry was enjoying himself imensly when he was suddenly overcome by a surge of guilt.
He pulled away from Hermione and said, "There's something I need to tell you." *********************************************************************** Once Harry had finished telling her the whole story Hermione staggered back, gasping and muttering something that sounded like, "How could you?"
Harry hung his head
"What made you do something like this to me?" she asked, tears building up in her eyes.
"Teenage hormones?" said Harry weakly.
Hermione glared at him. "Please, just tell how this happened," she begged, a tear finally escaping her eye.
"I don't know, we were just walking along....and then it just...happened," said Harry.
They stood there in scilence for a few moments before Harry said, " I know that you will probably never forgive me, or be able to trust me again, but I just want you to know how very sorry I am, and how terrible I feel."
Hermione turned to leave. As she reached the door leading to the stairs she turned to Harry and said, "I may very well forgive you, but not tonight, and nothing will ever be the same with us."
Then she was gone. **************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** **********************************************
