A/N: Hello again everyone, today I finally get some free time to sit down and just write away, I just hope that this chapter was as good as the last one.

Don't Harry and Hermione make a cute couple?

This takes place 1 month after Hermione's birthday.

Chapter 15: Christmas Part 1: Before.

Hermione POV

I sat in History of Magic class, the last class for today and in just twenty-seven minutes and fourteen seconds, it would be the weekend. I jotted down the rest of my notes and put my quills down, as Professor Binns feel asleep again.

I pulled out the small necklace Harry gave me for my birthday on month ago out from under my robes and squinted down at the small letters that spelled Tired under Harry's sleepy head. I looked at the back of the class and saw that he was almost asleep behind his textbook.

"Oh, let me see! Let me see!" Lavender said next to me, pointing at my necklace.

I held it out so she could see mine and Harry's head with our emotions.

"So this is the thing Harry got you?" Lavender asked.

"Yeah." I answered. Lavender had asked me this questions about 20 times.

"Why does it say annoyed under your head?" Lavender asked.

"I dunno Lavender?" I said sarcastically.

Lavender just looked away and starting talking to Parvati again. I sighed. I looked down and studying my notes and I swear it must have only been 2 seconds when the bell rang.

I gathered all my books, notes, quill and ink up and stood up to leave the class. I turned and came face to face with Harry. I let out a yelp and took a step back.

"Harry, don't scare me like that." I managed to say.

Harry laughed to myself for a minute. "I couldn't help myself."

I finally managed to walk out of the classroom, Harry nagging me the whole way. "You should have seen your face."

"Shut up Harry, and it wasn't that funny." I said.

"Ok, ok. So are you going home for Christmas?" Harry asked.

I thought for a moment. "I dunno. Maybe, I mean I haven't heard any word from them for a while now, not since I told them about you." I said.

Harry stopped dead in his tracks. "What exactly did you tell them?" he said shakily.

"Not much, just that we were dating now and reminding Dad not to go crazy. Mum wrote back saying it was nice that I found a good boy." I said. "Common Harry, there going to find out sooner or later."

"Yeah, but you could have told me sooner." Harry said starting to walk again.

"Please don't worry about this, my parents already love you from what I have told them." I reassured him. "And besides, it's not like your going to be meeting them anytime soon."

"Yeah, your right." Harry said.

We walked back up towards the common room which was packed with student celebrating the winter break.

"Hermione!" Ron called from a chair by the fireplace.

I walked over to him and Neville playing a game of chess. "What?" I asked.

"Pig sent gave me this, this morning. It's from your parents." Ron said thrusting a small brown letter in my direction.

I ripped open the top and a small piece of paper, it read:

Dear Hermione,

I hope you get this letter soon. I wanted to tell you that your father and I would like to have you and Harry over for the Christmas break. Hopefully, it will be ok with Harry's aunt and uncle. Send us a letter as soon as possible with an answer. Were looking forward to met Harry and see you again.

Love you, Mom.

Shoot!

I walked back over to Harry who was talking to Dean and Seamus.

"Harry, could I talk to you for a minute?" I asked.

"Yeah." Harry answered. Dean and Seamus got the hint and went over to watch Neville and Ron.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked.

I held the letter from my Mom and Harry grabbed it and read it to him self. His eyes shot open. "Hermione, I can't. I just can't." Harry stuttered.

"Harry, there my parents and I want you to met them, and they want to met you." I said.

"But, but-"

"You'd actually get a really Christmas if you come with me, because I am going. And I don't know if you could live without me for a whole week." I whined.

"But, uh, I hate it when you do that." Harry gave in.

"So you'll come?" I smiled.

"Yeah, I'll come, but only because you insist." Harry said.

"Thank you Harry, and I promise it will all be ok." I gave Harry a hug and ran upstairs to write the response.

I only hope that Dad doesn't go hard on Harry.


Harry POV

It was almost midnight when I went back up to bed. Dean, Seamus, Ron, and Neville were still up talking.

"Hey Harry, where have you been?" Ron asked.

"Down in the common room still." I answered.

"Oh yeah, Mum invited you to the Burrow to spend the Christmas Holidays. I told her you would be coming already." Ron smiled.

"I can't go." I sighed.

"WHAT? But you love the Burrow, and your going to stay here?" Ron almost shouted.

"I am spending Christmas with Hermione." I said landing on my bed.

"You mean your going to meet her parents?" Seamus chimed in.

"Yeah." I answered.

"I pray for you man." Seamus said.

"What? I mean her mum and dad can't be that bad. Can they?" I looked over.

"Well, hopefully Mr. and Mrs. Granger are nicer than Mr. and Mrs. Weasley." Seamus said.

"Why, what happened when you met Ginny's parents?" I asked.

"Chaos." Seamus shook his head.

I lied back on my bed. "Hermione said that her parents already loved me from what she had told them."

"Harry, that's what they always say." Seamus said again.

"I don't get it, what's so bad about meeting her parents?" Dean asked.

"Well, lets say they can't wait for you to mess up. But Harry should do great I mean Hermione's parents are muggles. Harry knows all about that stuff." Seamus assured me.

"Harry, you have to send an owl over and tell me how there like." Ron said.

"Shut up." I said and pulled the drapes over my bed and found sleep.


Ginny POV

Dear Diary,

How dare Gryffindor betray me like that? You won't imagine how much hate mail I see shoved under my door. Stuff like, HOGWARTS SLUT and EVIL BITCH. I am so sick of everything. Well I just can't believe that Ron refuses to talk to me anymore. And he must of told mom what I did because I haven't had an owl from her since the Halloween Ball.

Just wait till my evil plan is in motion. Draco and I are quite the pair. But something must have slipped because I saw Pansy yesterday threatening that if I lay one finger on Draco she'll kill me. I'd like to see her try. I heard that Harry and Hermione are going over to Hermione's house for Christmas Holidays. Perfect chance to cause mayhem.

I got a letter from Percy yesterday, told me how proud he was for me becoming a prefect. He also invited me to spend the Holidays with him. I mean, how could I refuse to my older brother. Even though I already had plans to go with Draco but so what, I haven't seen Percy in forever, he'll understand.

Well I must be going now. I promise to write to you over the Holidays.

Love from, Ginny
