I do not own H.P. or anything else that belongs to J.K. Rowling.
Thanks to everyone who has reviewed. I know it has taken me a long time to
post, but alas I have been in the hospital, not a fun experience. And it
has taken me a while to become well enough to think since my surgery. If
anyone has any suggestions or questions or comments feel free to let me
know.
Chapter 37
Hermione quietly tiptoed out of the common room she didn't want to awaken Draco just to see him give her a cold stare and then slam his door on returning to his room, which had happened in the past quite a few times since their disagreement. She quickly made it to the Headmasters office and gave the stone gargoyle the password. "Why Miss Granger it is a surprise to see you here so early is there anything I can do for you" Dumbledore ask holding in a yawn.
"I am sorry to bother you so early Headmaster, but you see my mother has sent me an owl" Hermione said wringing her hands together "She needs me to come home as soon as possible and I was wondering if I could go on holiday a bit early." She finished looking at the Headmaster. Hermione hated asking to leave early, and she hated the fact that in a way she wished that Dumbledore would forbid her to go, even say she couldn't go home this winter holiday, but she couldn't leave her mother alone with Rick, it was the only mother Hermione had ever known and she couldn't bear it if something happened to her.
"Well Miss Granger I must say this is the first time a head student has ask me to go on vacation early, but if you feel your mother is in need of you home that much then I won't question that fact and I will grant you permission to go home early, on the basis that you take one of the school owls incase that you need to contact us, and that you promise to be at the train station at half an hour early to help supervise the students, so that they won't get into any sort of mischief." Dumbledore said
"Yes sir" Hermione said with a small smile.
"Alright here is a cage that you can put one of the school owls in , I will have Professor Snape accompany you to Hogsmeade and put you on a train that will take you back to platform 9 ¾ ." Dumbledore said handing Hermione the cage.
"Thank you sir" Hermione said as she started to leave the Office.
"One moment Miss Granger, Please do not forget that any homework that is assigned while you are away must be completed, I will have it owled to you, and also Professor Snape will meet you in the main hallway as soon as you get the owl." Dumbledore said with a slight nod.
"Yes sir" Hermione said opening the door, "Merry Christmas" She said softly as she headed down the steps.
"Yes Merry Christmas to you to Miss Granger." Dumbledore replied as she disappeared from view.

Hermione quickly ran to the owlery and got one of the school's brown owls and headed down to the spot where she was supposed to meet Professor Snape. "Miss Granger" Snape drawled out slowly.
"Professor" Hermione said nodding her head in greeting.
"Yes then lets go, wouldn't want you to miss your train now would we" Snape said in his monotone voice. "It would be such a pity." Hermione just scowled.
"Why does he seem to hate me so much, is it because I am friends with Harry?" Hermione questioned herself, "Or is there something more to it then that." Hermione stole a look at Professor Snape as they were walking along to one of Hogwarts Carriages. He was scowling as usual, not even a hit of a smile as the December air hit Hermione's face tingeing it a slight pink. They soon arrived at Hogsmeade and Snape quickly saw Hermione to the train station. "I hope you have a good holiday's Professor" Hermione said smiling at her Potions Master.
"When she smiles she almost resembles Athena" Snape said to himself, "Impossible that girl is a muggle child no resemblance to my Athena." " You to Miss Granger" Snape said not even trying to smile as she turned away and walked back toward the carriage his robes billowing behind him. And with that Hermione Granger boarded the train that would take her back to her home in muggle London.
~~ Draco awoke to the sun shining into his eyes, and calmly rolled over and shoved his head under his feather pillow. "Damn Sun" Her muttered as he started to resume his sleeping.
"Wake up Draco" His mirror called.
"What do you want" Draco muttered from underneath his pillow.
"Is today not the day you plan on apologizing to Hermione, you know the day that you make everything right again, and then this place is once more a good place to live" EJ the mirror ask
Draco suddenly jumped out of bed, "Of course how could I forget." He said as he quickly found some clothes and changed and ran out of his room and strait to Hermione's knocking on the door. Draco had been knocking for about two minutes when he decided that Hermione may still be in bed so he decided to yell her name, when he still didn't get any answer he slowly opened the door to be met with the sight of a made bed, with no Hermione and the trunk at the foot of her bed was missing. "Where is she Kay" Draco ask the mirror.
"Where is who dear" The mirror ask playing dumb.
"You know who I am talking about where is Hermione" Draco said his voice low.
"I'm sorry I can't tell you" The mirror said in a calm voice.
"What do you mean you can't tell me" Draco roared.
"She ask me not to" Kay replied.
"Grrrr" Draco said as he stomped out of the room and down to the Great Hall where he knew Dumbledore would be, and where he could get some answers.
