Disclaimers: I do not own any of the characters. I'm just stealing.....no borrowing them for awhile. ( Rated PG 13 just for some slight curse words other wise that is all. ( Author's notes: sorry it took me so long to continue this. I sort of got stuck on a certain cute actor in Pirates of the Caribbean ( ;-) *cough*orlandobloom/willturner*cough* WHAT A HOTIE! Anyways on with the story......and yes this will be a Draco/Hermione fic.... ( I had a little bit of a hard time with this chapter. A bit of writers block I think.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At 8 pm sharp both Draco and Hermione met Hagrid at his hut. Neither one would look at each other since they were still mad at one another. Hermione stepped up to the Hagrid's door and knocked loudly.
"Hagrid, we're here, are you in there?"
Hagrid opened the door smiling at Hermione.
"Well hello Hermione .... and um Malfoy. We have a long night ahead of us but amazing creatures we'll find"
"Now here is a lantern for each of you. I'm going to go one way, and you two behave and go another way TOGETHER. Now when you find the Demiguise you need to pull 10 hairs each. You shall have no problems pulling any of the hairs. Nice creatures they are. Yep yep. Run along now."
"um.... professor?"
"Yes Malfoy?"
"What do these Demiguise look like? And why do we need their hairs?"
"Why we need the hairs for invisibility cloaks. Look for a gray ape like creature."
Draco and Hermione walked into the forbidden forest holding their lanterns up in front of them. Draco looked over at Hermione and smirked.
"Are you afraid of the dark forest?"
"No, but I heard how you ran away frightened 1st year."
"Hey I was young and innocent"
"HA Young and innocent my @$$!"
An hour later Hermione and Draco are still wondering in the forest.
"We still haven't found anything and I don't want to be in this forest anymore."
"Me either. Hermione, would you stop tapping my shoulder."
"I'm not tapping your shoulder"
Draco turned to look who was tapping him.
"um......I think we found them."
Hermione turned around.
"Oh how cute!"
Hermione bent down and walked slowly over to the gray ape like creature.
"Come on Draco help me, now say some nice things so it doesn't get mad at you. Who knows what a creature will do when it gets mad."
"Okay, now that we have enough hairs, we should head back to Hagrid's hut. Maybe we can still get a few hours sleep before classes tomorrow."
At midnight, Hermione finally got back to her room. She was soon fast asleep, not even taking off her robes.
The next morning........
"Hermione wake up! We need to get ready for classes. Oh and we need to write down our names on the list if we're staying for the holidays. It was just posted this morning" said Lavender.
Hermione sat up fast.
"oh no! I forgot to read my charms homework a fifth time.... oh and thanks Lavender for waking me."
"No problem Hermione" shouted Lavender to Hermione who was nearly out of earshot, barely hearing her.
"Hey Hermione, are you going to stay this winter with Harry and I?" asked Ron as soon as Hermione ran into the common room. "No Ron, I'm going to meet my father this winter at Corbett mansion. If my dad sends word that it's okay for friends to come you guys can certainly join me. I think there will be lots to explore since it's a mansion."
"Sure, why not, it'll be fun" said Harry smiling.
"Well let's head down to breakfast. I'm hungry" said Ron.
"Oh Ron, you and Food, I swear!" commented Hermione, rolling her eyes and smiling.
No sooner had they sat down when the mail came flying in.
"Oh guys! I got a letter from my dad!"
"What did he say?"
"He said:
Dear Hermione, I think it would be wonderful for your friends to come. Bring a few nice robes. We'll have a few dinners with lots of guests. A few of the guests are my coworkers, friends, and neighbors. They would love to meet you. Oh and by the way....explore the mansion all you want.....an old mansion it is. It's been in the family for over two hundred years. I'll pick you and your friends up at the train station. Love, Your father"
"Wow Hermione sounds like you have a nice father" said Harry.
"This is going to be sooo cool Hermione. I just can't wait until winter holidays. I better write to mum and tell her I'm going to go with you and visit your father." Said Ron
Ron finished eating his food and ran off to write to his mom about the holidays leaving Hermione and Harry to silently watch him run off and laugh.
"Well come on Harry, he can meet us at class. I'm sure with all that energy he'll be there is no time....may even beat us there."
Harry and Hermione both left the hall smiling unaware of a certain Blonde with gray eyes starring after them, half out of hate, half out of knowing that they would all be having an interesting holiday this winter....letter in hand from his father.
