-Chapter 7: The Meeting with My Love, Prologue-

"What the hell are you doing here??" Hermione almost screamed.

Draco however wasn't listening, he was thinking.

"This is not happening. Please tell me this is just a VERY sick dream!" Draco whispered to himself.

He walked over to the chair he had been sitting on before and sat down. Hermione stood there still to shocked to move.

Draco Malfoy is my Owl Pal DragonIce. DRACO MALFOY!!?? Oh my god! This means that I am in love with the most selfish, spoiled brat on earth! I, Hermione Granger am in love with DRACO MALFOY, the Slytherin scum! But if he really is DragonIce then he doesn't want to be a Death Eater. Maybe he isn't really such a big jerk that everyone thinks. Nah, he's Draco Malfoy for heavens sake!

She looked around The Three Broomsticks, everyone was talking and laughing with their friends except one person, Draco Malfoy. He was sitting with his head in his hands alone in a corner. That's when Hermione realized that she would never look at him in the same way, this guy wasn't the Slytherin scum Draco Malfoy anymore. No, he was now her dear Owl Pal DragonIce. But she couldn't stand to look at him right now, I mean, it's not like everyday your newfound friend (and love) turns out to be your worst enemy.

Hermione took one last glance at Draco before she walked out of The Three Broomsticks.

As she walked down the streets in Hogsmeade her thoughts drifted back to earlier that morning, The Dream.

That was one sick dream I had last night. Ferretboy? Why was the ring engraved Hermione Granger and Ferretboy Forever? and then he suddenly became a ferret. Why? I don't know a ferret. Oh my god! Ferretboy is Malfoy! He turned into a ferret in 4th year. Why didn't I think of that before? Damn. Draco looked really great with green hair in the dream. What did I just say? Did I just say that he looked handsome? Did I call him by his first name? No, not Draco. Malfoy, just Malfoy!

"Hermione!" Someone yelled behind her

Hermione turned around and saw her two best friends Ron Weasley and Harry Potter standing a few feet away. She rushed up to them and threw her arms around their necks. Harry and Ron just grinned at her and hugged back. When they finally let go of each other Hermione begun to ask them so many questions that Harry and Ron thought that their best friend was going to faint because she was running out of oxygen.

"Calm down Hermione, We won't run away. Just take a deep breath and talk slowly so we can hear you." Ron said as he put his hands on her shoulders.

Hermione took a deep breath and smiled grateful at them.

"Madam Pomfrey finally let you out of the Hospital Wing?" She asked the boys

The two boys looked at eachother nervouse.

"Uhhh. Well, not exactly." Harry said unsure

Hermione looked at them confused.

"Then how did you get out? Was it Dumbledor who let you out?" She asked.

Both boys looked down on the ground.

"No, it wasn't him either." Ron said nearly in a whisper

Hermione looked once again at her best friends confused, then it hit her, They had sneaked out without Madam Pomfrey or any other teacher knowing.

"You ran away!? I can't believe you guys! You know better." She said with her hand on her hips.

Neither of the boys said something, they just looked down on the ground in shame.

"We missed you." Harry said in a small voice as he lifted his head and did a puppydog face.

Hermione stared at Harry for a while before her face broke into a soft smile.

"That is so sweet of you guys." She said and hugged Harry

He hugged her too, but behind her back he saw Ron stare at him with amazement. Harry grinned proudly at him and mouthed "My charm saved our butts AGAIN!" .

Hermione broke apart from Harry and hugged Ron too.

"I have missed you guys too." She said as she broke apart from Ron

The two boys grinned and said in chorus,

"We know you love us."

The three friends laughed as they walked back to Hogwarts.

[*At Dinner In The Great Hall*]

All Hogwarts students were waiting for the food to appear on the tables. And as usually, Harry and Ron was talking about quidditch and Hermione was reading a book.

"There is no way that The Kretches will be the winning team, The Flamentes are sooo much better. Curtan Twiggs father was the best keeper in history!" Ron said

"Yeah, his FATHER was the best keeper in history but that doesn't mean that HE is just as good. Niel Spruell is definitely the better keep of them. He will take The Flamentes to the final." Harry said as-a-matter-of-factly

Ron snorted and rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, riiiiight!" He said

"You know I'm right." Harry argued back.

Suddenly the food appeared on the table so lets just say that Ron forgot all about quidditch. Hermione, who sat on the left side of Harry watched as Ron begun to wolf down his food, he put all the food in his mouth at the same time so half of the food was IN his mouth and the other half was outside his mouth.

Both Harry and Hermione looked at their best friend in disgust.

"You are disgusting Ron." Hermione said

Ron stopped eating and looked at her like she was crazy.

"Hey! I'm just hungry!" He said, trying to defend himself

"Whatever." Hermione muttered and begun to eat her food

"Attention, Please." Professor McGonnagall said as she gently tapped the goblet in front of her with her knife

The Hall went quiet as Professor Dumbledor stood up and cleared his throat.

"As you all know, the Christmas Holiday is coming up. You students have all had your Owl Pals for about 4 weeks now. From now on you can choose if you want to keep your Owl Pal or if you want to stop writing letters to it.

I and Igor Karkaroff have decided to take this project to the next level so under the holidays you and your Owl Pal will live together in either yours or your Owl Pal's house. We have already decided with house you will go to. You and Your Owl Pal will stay with each other under the whole Christmas Holidays, no exceptions.

This isn't a choice, you have to do this. When you have finished eating you will go straight to your dorm, where you will find all your belongs packed and a letter that says where you will stay and how to get there. I wish you all the best. Now continue your meal." He said.

The whole hall was full with whispering students. However, one special student was groaning and banging her head in the table.

Oh My God! I'm going to spend my Christmas
Holiday with DRACO MALFOY! What if he's coming to my house? He hates muggles, there is no way that he could survive one single day in the Muggle World. What if I'm living in his house? Then I will have to meet his father and that would be a disaster. I mean, I'm a mudblood for god's sake! He and his Death Eater friends will kill me before I can say ´Merlin'.

How will I get away from this? Oh Yeah, That's right, I don't have a choice, I HAVE to do this. But I can't believe that Dumbledor is making me spend the Christmas Holiday with my worst enemy. But I WAS in love with DragonIce and since Malfoy turned out to be DragonIce, that means that he doesn't want to be a Death Eater, that's a big relive.

DragonIce or Maybe I should say Draco from now on, made it sound as if his mother was really nice. Maybe this won't be so bad after all. And besides, The Malfoy's are really rich so their house is probably big and luxury.

She hadn't noticed that Ron was waving his hand in front of her face.

"Hermione!" Ron said loudly and begun to shake her shoulders

"What!?" Hermione said as she woke up from her trance

"Welcome back to reality!" Ron muttered and begun to eat again

Hermione was just about to snap back at him when Harry interrupted her,

"Sooo, do you know who your Owl Pal is?" He said desperate to keep his friends from fighting

Should I tell them? No, I can't, they will kill Malfoy if they knew that I'm going to spend my holiday with him. Not because I care or anything...

"Um.Errr.No, I don't know who he is." Hermione said nervous and begun to pick in her food.

"But you know it's a guy?" Harry asked

Hermione nodded slowly.

I have to change the subject, I don't like where this is going.

"How about you guys? Do you know anything about your Owl Pals?" She asked

Ron and Harry's faces light up.

"Yeah, my Owl Pal has long blond hair and blue eyes and she's only two month older than me." Ron said excited

Hermione smiled at him and Harry grinned.

"You like her, don't you?" Harry asked in a teasing voice

Ron blushed and looked down at his plate.

"No:" He said, still blushing.

"Sure you don't." Hermione said and grinned at Ron too

"How about you? Do you know anything about your Owl Pal?" She asked Harry

"I know that it's a guy and that he likes quidditch, that's about it." Harry said.

"Okay, I'm sure both of you will have a GREAT time together with your Owl Pal's under the holidays." Hermione said, looking especially at Ron

Ron blushed crimson again and glared at Harry as he mouthed ´Revenge´ to him, Harry just grinned and mouthed ´Sure´ back to Ron.

"Well, Tomorrow the Christmas Holidays will begin. I can't wait to see Pandora." Ron said with a dreamy look on his face

Harry and Hermione looked confused at each other and then at Ron.

"Pandora?" They asked

"Oh Yeah, I forgot to tell you that her nickname is Pandora." Ron said

"Okay, What's your Owl Pal's nickname?" Hermione asked Harry

"It's Itchy Quidd. I don't know why so don't ask!" Harry said

All three of them laughed at the strange name.

"Yeah Well, if we are going to our Owl Pal's tomorrow we have to get some sleep so how about we go to the Gryffindor Common Room and play chess or something?" Harry asked his two best friends

"Sounds good to me, I'm really tired." Hermione said

"But I'm still hungry!" Ron whined

Harry and Hermione raised their eyebrows at him.

"Ron." Hermione said as she put her hands on her hips

"Okay, Okay, No need to be so mean." Ron said as the three friends walked out of the Great Hall

"You know what?" Ron asked Harry

"No, what?" Harry asked bored

"Hermione doesn't really have a nickname, we should start calling her McGonnagall Jr." Ron said proudly

Harry and Ron laughed as Hermione glared her best McGonnagall- glare at them.

"I told you so." Ron said as he saw her glare

Hermione had to admit that it was pretty funny so she couldn't hold herself and begun to laugh too.

Soon the Golden Trio was on the floor in the middle of the corridor and laughing their heads off.
