Hermione was furious with Minerva, Narcissa was innocent, there was no reason for her to be on the 'dark' side of the plauque, but Minerva had refused to accept she was good and so Narcissa's name remained where it was, under Lucius'. Hermione was worried for Draco he was starting to fall apart, she could sence a change in him since the funeral.

"Have you decided where you are staying through the holidays Draco?" Asked Hermione while eating lunch in the great hall.

"No, I will probably have to go back to the Manor, but I don't want to" He commented.

"After a couple of weeks you can come and stay with me and my parents"

"I would love that Mione" He replied smiling, this time it wasn't a sad smile it was filled with happines, instead of the sadness and in his eyes you could see the happiness that only Hermione could bring to him.

She smiled back and kissed him slowly on the lips. He still made her feel giddy and happy inside when he kissed her and this time was no different. They broke apart both feeling elated, their passion for each other grew through that single kiss and they both felt it. They would never be seperated.

Hermione grinned and turned back to her food.

"You could always stay with Ron and Harry" Commented Hermione, "Or they could stay with you"

"Your so smart" Said Draco grinning.

Maybe we can get through this She thought

"Hey Mi" She heard from behind her.

"Hey Harry" She said standing and pecking him on the cheek,

"Hey Ron" She said also giving him a peck on the cheek.

They seated themselves next to Hermione, and started piling their plates up with food.

"Where are you two staying for the holidays?" Asked Hermione.

"The Burrow" Said Ron not looking up from his plate. Though Hermione could see that his eyes had glazed over.

"Are you staying there as well Harry?" Draco asked

"Yeah i don't have to go back to the Dursley's any more" Replied Harry, "Where are you staying?"

"'Uhh, at the manor i think, but i don't particually want to"

At this comment Ron seemed to snap out of his daze and turned to look at Draco.

"Why wouldn't you want to?"Ron asked disbelieving, Draco just shrugged.

"I guess it would be lonely" He finally said.

"Well, why don't me and Harry go and stay with you, i don't think i could manage at the burrow"

Draco smile, "Sure"

"Hey Harry did you notice Minerva put your parents on the plaque?"

"What?" Said Harry just before he got up and ran out of the hall.

Hermione flashed Draco a smile as they followed him out of the hall. Harry was standing in front of plaque a dazling grin on his face.

"They deserved this" He said

"Of course they did" Replied Hermione also grinning.

Hermione and Draco said their goodbye's before going up to their dormitories to pack.

---------------------------

Hermione smiled as she got off the Hogwarts Express, she would be back with her parents for a couple of weeks and she couldn't wait. There they were standing there waiting for her, broad grins plastered on their faces. She ran to her mother and she was sure she knocked the wind out of her with the force that she had hit her aging mother. Then in turn she hugged her father tightly. She then kissed each of them before she ran off again to get her luggage. She saw Harry carrying some of her luggage and smiled at him.

"Thanks Harry" She said.

"Draco has your trunk"

"Oh ok" she replied running over to help Draco, who was strugglig with her trunk.

"What have you got in here, the entire library?" He questioned laughing.

Hermione helped him drag it over to her parents before they went off to fetch his luggage.

When they had all there luggage they said their goodbyes. Draco promising to write to Hermione, Hermione promising to invite him over really soon. She also promised to go visit them occassionly, and then she left with a single back ward glance at them before she followed her parents home.
