Hermione's Christmas

.:Flashback:.

Hermione was sitting in her living room a few days before Christmas. She had been thinking about her relationship with famous Quidditch player, Viktor Krum. Recently it hadn't been, well, perfect… there was no… .:click:. He had been gone to practice all the time and she had been busy with her more important job. She had been thinking about ending the relationship. Breaking Up just wasn't Hermione. But since it was so close to Christmas she didn't know if she wanted to.. it had to be sooner or later.

.:End Flashback:.

The next day, Viktor and Hermione had the same thing on their mind… they ended the relationship. Who broke up with who? Hard to say, but neither of them were too upset.

That day at work Amelia was standing on a ladder hanging Christmas decorations up, when Hermione walked in. Amelia saw Hermione and almost fell off the ladder. "You weren't supposed to see this just yet,"Amelia said in her Irish accent, "Bob was supposed to get here earlier and help me put up the decorations so that we could surprise you."

"Well, its beautiful right now. I am surprised, Amelia. Where did you get all these decorations, anyway?" Hermione said in awe.

"Well… I.. I actually don't remember… I think I found it in the basement of my house, or something…"

Hermione laughed at the thought of her Co-Worker in her basement with spiders and such creepy things looking for some Christmas decorations. "Where is Bob anyway?" Hermione asked.

Amelia stared at her. "Well, I don't know. He was supposed to be here half and hour ago. He said he'd be here on time, and well as I'm sure you can see he's not. But that's okay, we'll just have to surprise him instead. What do you say?"

Hermione nodded, "Sounds like a lot of fun! Lets get started, its about time someone brought some Christmas Cheer around here."

Exactly one hour later Bob showed up. He walked in just as Hermione had finished hanging up the Mistletoe over the door. Hermione quickly backed away realizing what she had hung up and where she was standing.

"So what's the excuse Bob?" Amelia asked jokingly.

"For what?" Bob asked.

"Oh Bob, please don't tell me you forgot."

"I forgot… I forgot," Bob said as he stood and racked his brains, "Oh! Y0u know your right! I forgot the Hot Cocoa again!!"

Amelia starred at him amazement. "You forgot the Hot Co.." as her voice trailed off, Bob laughed.

"I know, I am late to decorate, I was just playing.. but it seems that you didn't need my help. You two did a great job!"

"So what is your excuse Bob?" Amelia asked again jokingly.

"Well… would you believe a poor innocent cat was stuck in a tree and I got out of my car to help it and my car was then driven away by an angry mob and the cat stole the hot cocoa, and I had to walk here?"

Amelia started shaking her head, "No, not really, but very well thought out." All three laughed at this little tale of his. Soon after everyone was working, it was as if a light bulb went off for Bob.

"Speaking of which." Bob said.

"No one was speaking, Bob." Hermione said, laughing.

Bob rolled his eyes playfully, "Well sure someone was! The angry mob and cat were just now on the phone telling me how much they are enjoying my car and hot cocoa!"

Amelia and Hermione found this quite amusing, and they all laughed. Then Bob got to the point. "As I was saying, I am having a party Christmas Eve. Its going to be at "The Society of Dancing, Clubbing, and Fun," you know the big new ballroom off Wand Way? Yeah its there. Do you think you guys can come?"

"Well I have nothing to do on Christmas Eve, I'll be there!" Amelia said flipping through her calendar.

"I have nothing planned either. Not any more at least, so I'll be there too!" Hermione said.

"Your not doing anything with Viktor, Hermione? I thought you guys would do something. Does he have practice or something but then why would he have practice its Christmas Eve! But then again you know those professional tea.." Amelia started but then Hermione interrupted.

"Amelia, we ended our relationship today. Its fine though, our relationship was starting to roll down hill a bit, anyway. I'll find someone." Hermione said smiling.

Then Bob said smiling, "Well on that note, I'll look forward to seeing you both there. I'll be sure to invite some nice guys you might like, Hermione."

"Thanks, but don't be disappointed if I don't like your type of buds, Bob." Hermione said glancing at his pink afro and nose ring.

A few days later Hermione was getting ready to go to the party when she realized she had to go now in order to get there in time, or at least in time to be there for some of the party. Half an hour later arriving at the party, Hermione looked around and music was blasting, Mistletoe was in various places, figures of St. Nick and eight reindeer. As well as red and green decorations. Hermione was approached by various men, and purple and green afros, and goatees and such. They just weren't her type.

She noticed that Bob and Amelia had been missing for quite some time, so she decided to leave. She was terribly bored of being approached by these idiots who probably didn't have a brain in their heads. As she walked out of the Club, she had noticed that it was snowing slightly. Hermione loved the snow, and stood in silence for a few moments. She then went on a wild goose hunt for her beautiful car. It was dark, and there were many cars there. Some looked like hers, and some looked like they were from the 50's. She found herself trying to open another car that looked exactly like hers, when she saw it had a flame at the very, and the cars owner staring at her from the steps of the Club. She quickly backed away, finding her own car in just a few moments.

Relieved to be in her own car at last she whispered to herself as a snowflake hit her hand as she was going to close the door, "At least one thing good happened this year." When Hermione got home, she grabbed a blanket to snuggle up with, she sat at her window seat staring at the snow falling outside.

The next morning the cold glass against her cheek woke her up. She saw that under her small tree was a few packages wrapped up. A few from her Parents, one from the Weasley's, 1 from Katie, 1 from Angelina, and one that she didn't recognize. She went over to her tree and saw that the wrapping paper color was scarlet. On the scarlet wrapping paper were Bulgarian Qudditch players. Of course this had to be from Krum.
