Author's Note: Short chapter!
"Wake up Hermione, wake up Mia." Draco called softly.
"Hmmmm? Whaa?" She murmured.
"Merry Christmas Mia." Draco said smiling.
"Merry Christmas my Dragon." Hermione said smiling back.
"Let's go look at our presents hm??" He said enthusiastically as he jumped off the bed. Hermione giggled 'Still so much a boy.'
"Okay." She sat up and cried out at the sudden pain. Then she remembered. Ron, the rape, Draco, everything. She sat stunned, and started crying. Draco went o he side.
"Please don't cry, don't let him ruin our irst holiday together." Hermione sniffled and looke up at him.
"You're right , I'll cry later." She said. 'I hope I don't seem uncaring, I'm just trying to make her feel better.' he thought. Draco led her to the common room and sat her on a couch closet the tree.
"Open mine first" he said giving her a mall black box.
"Draco it's beautiful!" she gasped. It was a diamond ring. 14kt read the box. Hermione cried tears of joy this time instead of sorrow. She hugged him tight to her and kissed his cheek. Draco laughed.
"What did you think I was going to get you?" He asked playfully.
"I don't know coal?" She teased.
"Ha!" He laughed kissing her.
"Open mine now." She said. Draco opened his gift to reveal his favorite cologne and a gold and silver necklace embedded with tiny rubies and emeralds. Draco looked at her with surprise.
'how'd you get this?" He asked.
"I'll never tell." She sang laughing.
"Funny, not." He said putting it on. "I love it." He said. They finished opening their gifts and ready for breakfast. They walked together to the Great Hall and separated to go their respective tables. When she got to the Gryffindor table, everyone but Ginny and Harry was glaring at her. 'Ron' she thought. She had hoped he'd been to drunk last night to remember anything, obviously he hadn't been. Hermione sat as far away from everyone as she could. Ginny went and sat beside her. Harry wouldn't look at her.
"Ron told everyone last night about you and /Draco. He also told them you ere pregnant." Ginny whispered.
Hermione was heartbroken. She hadn't meant for this to happen. She swallowed her food without tasting it. Everyone hated her, she felt like crying. She finished her breakfast quickly, got up and nearly ran to the doors , Ginny in tow. Draco saw and soon followed. The Slytherins had heard but refused to abandon him. Outside, Hermione leaned on Ginny's shoulder and started crying.
"Hermione!" Draco cried coming to her side and hugging her until she cried herself out. He wiped her tears away.
"Thanks." She said sniffling
"You okay?' Draco asked knowing she wasn't. Hermione nodded anyway. "Okay, let's go see Madam Pomfrey." Ginny didn't say anything, but followed them. She didn't understand.
They reached the infirmary a short time later and Madam Pomfrey was cleaning up a mess.
"Madam Pomfrey?" Ginny asked.
"Yes? Oh , hello Ginny, Hermione, Mr. Malfoy?" Madam Pomfrey asked looking quizzically at Draco.
"I have a problem, I think." Hermione said.
