(I have forgotten to mension there age! *slaps herself across the head* Draco is 25 years, Louis is 25 1/2, Hermione is 24

constance is 46)

LAST LINE: "...Please miss, Please don't let him have your heart, you deserve so much more than him.."

NOW:

The next day:

Hermione made her way down the gravled path towards the flowers and herbs. She had to find spilut, a strong and fast herb.

She was half way through Dracos christmas present when she thought about Louis. ****I wonder if he will be staying for

christmas. What should I get for him? What should I do now I know what he is? But he is to sweet to do anything evil,

especially murder? Maybe Chloe was ill anyway and no one knew....**** Hundreds of questions were runing through her head.

She found herself sitting in her room with her potion.

"AAhhhhh!!!!!!!! I forgot the wood!!!!!!!!" Mione screamed at herself.

"Well,Well, my sweet madam is so hot when she's angry.." Louis was leaning on the door of hermiones room, "..Whats the

matter flower?" He came close to her.

"What are you doing in my room? Does Draco know your here.." Mione was silenced by his finger pressing against her lips.

"I'm in your room because I havn't seen you for 3 hours and Draco does know I'm here."

"Look I'm busy at the moment so if you could wait till I'm finished?"

"I've been waiting 3hrs so no I can't."

"Well you'll have to.." "I'll wait outside then until you come out." "Well you'll be waiting a long time It will probably

be finished late tonight.."Hermione opened the door and pushed him out.."You'll have to wait till tommorow." She blew him

a kiss and shut the door on his face.

****Great I'll have to climb down the roof or I'll have him following me****

Hermione climbed down and her foot slipped, she didn't realise it was full of ice so late in the night. She hit the ground

But wasn't badly injured. She had just ripped her skirt a little and a small trickle of blood started to run down

her leg. She had also cut her neck but it wasn't painfull. She stood up and carried down the path to the shadow forest.

She knew she couldn't go too far into the forest after the last time, She only needed a branch off one of the trees.

She sumoned a bridge across the swamp, she forgot the last time. She chose a branch and started to cut it down. Draco's

christmas present was almost sorted.

***

Draco was walking around trying to think of something to give her as a present for tomorrow, It had to be inside the

ground because of his stupid curse. The candle had started to burn so far he had only a short time left to save himself

from the curse.

"Master, Sit down and just think about what she enjoys the most!" Constance had tried everything she could think of to get

him to sit.

"Well she enjoys learning, walking, that muggle food she got Leigh (the cook) to make what was it?..Oh yeh pitsar.."

"Pizza my lord." "...Yeah right she likes chocolate, animals and books..I think thats all" Draco had marked everything out

on his piece of paper.

Constance sat down on the chair next to him, "Lets see.. You can't take her walking for a present she does that all the

time... She can have Pizza for the evening party...You don't like animals exept for snakes and Dragons...She has

chocolate all the time thats not special...Ummm well teaching her isn't a present so the only thing left is a book..

Write her a book my lord"

Draco was standing by this point. "I won't give her a book..I'll give her the Library!"

Constance jumped up and clapped, "Wonderful idea!"

***

"YESSSS!! I did it! I did it!" Mione danced around the room. She had just finished Dracos present and was very tired.

The clock showed it was 2:30. "Time to get ready for bed."

Hermione put on her scarlet night dress. It brought out all her curves out. It wasn't tight but it was slim and long.

She took off her make-upo and tied her hair into a loose pony tail.

She looked at her reflection. ****If only Ron and Harry were here****

She decided she was happy and opened her door ready to say goodnight to everyone. Louis was almost asleep.

She must have startled him because he had a look of shock on his face. His mouth opened wide but couldn't get any words

out for a change. Draco was on his way to bed and saw Louis's shocked face.

"What's the matter, looks like you have just seen an angel..." Draco was also suprised how much red suited her but quickley

recovered. "..Can I escort you to your bed?" He held out his arm and Hermione took it.

Louis was left watching them go until he couldn't see them.****Oh I'll have her make no mistake about that

Draco. Even if I have to do terrible things..****

***

Louis had left to go to bed.Which left Draco and Hermione on there own.

"You'll have to introduce me to television and movies" Draco was impressed how the muggles had invented so many things

without magic.

"Of course" Hermione yawned "I'm going to kick you out now"

"Already.." Draco laughed "I'm going to go anyway, but let me show you something first." Draco reached for Hermiones

hand lead her out of her bedroom and down a hall. He whispered something to a portrait and it opened. Draco lead her

inside it was huge, but it only had a small table with two chairs. Hermione was pulled towards the window. She saw hills

full of snow.

"Is that the sea?" Hermione pointed out.

"Yep I want to take you sometime there, no one goes there because the only entrance is from my castles alley?.."

"WOW! Draco thats lovely."

"I want us to have christmas night together...just us." Draco kissed Her.
