Chaper 8- Christmas

By the end of the week, Harry didn't say one word to Hermione, Draco and Hermione haven't said anything to one another, Ginny got over Harry quickly because she found someone new, Corey Anderson, Ron and Millicent are going steady and Hermione is still having mixed feelings for Draco. She wants to be friends, but she also wants to be more. The Truth Potion wore off of everyone, and everyone is relieved, and the planets are still aligned!

On Saturday, Hermione finally finished her potion essay and put it in her bag, and then the knock on her door came. She turned and saw Draco standing in the doorway.

"Hey," she greeted him.

"So… what's up?"

She shrugged.

"Look, Mi, if you were freaked out by that kiss, I'm really sorry," Draco said.

"Hey, that time, I kissed you," she informed him.

"So what, I responded."

'Why the hell is there always this huge fuss over who kissed who and who responded?'

"Ok, then, I'm not creeped out," she said, packing the rest of her stuff in her bag.

"So does that mean that we are like… going out?"

"Draco, I told you, I like you and all, but you know as well as I do that we can't. We can never be together. You know that, I know that, everyone knows that."

She pushed Draco aside and ran to the Room of Requirements. All she needs was comfort. But from who? She walked past the place 3 times and then a door appeared. She stepped inside and found a room full of stuffed animals. She grabbed a big teddy bear and sobbed into it.

(A/N- talk about the DRAMA! It's so funny when it's not happing to you! Sorry my note!)

'This is so not going good!' Draco thought lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling. 'That kiss meant… something… it had to. No girl has ever kissed me like that. This is really messed up.'


(Meanwhile in the Gryffindor common room…)

Ginny sat on the couch reading her new book. Then Harry walked in with Dean Thomas. Ginny pretended not to notice them.

"Hey, Dean, I'll catch up to you later," Harry said, eyeing Ginny. He stood beside the couch. "Hey."

"So, how's your play toy?" she asked him, with attitude, and turned another page.

"Gin, look, I'm sorry."

"Really?" she closed the book and faced Harry. "Are you really sorry? What did I do that you had to go and cheat on me like that?"

"Ginny, please, hear me out."

"No, I don't want to hear anything you have to say. Just stay away from me, forever!" and marched up to the Gryffindor girl's room.


(Walking back to the Head's dorms…)

Hermione was wiping away her tears and walked up to her room.

"I'm so confused," she said out loud to herself. 'Talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity,' a voice said in her head. "I am not going crazy," she said out loud again. 'Denial is the second.' "Shut up!"

"You know the first sign of insanity is talking to yourself," a voice said.

"I said, shut up!"

"I'm stating a fact."

She turned a saw Draco leaning against the doorway with a smile across his face.

"That wasn't funny," she said. "Were you reading my mind?"

"No… why?"

"Never mind."

"So why did you tell me to shut up?"

"Just never mind, ok?"

"Ok, night," and then he walked out.


(Sunday Morning…)

Stress. That's what Hermione felt when she woke up, stress. 'What can release stress?' she thought. 'Flying, it's also fun and it gets your mind off of everything… maybe Draco will take me flying today.' She quickly got dressed and went to the common room and found Draco reading.

"Draco?"

"Hm?"

"Are you in the middle of something?"

"Nope, why?"

"Do you wanna go flying?"

"In the daylight?"

"It's ok, I was just wondering," she said, with a disappointed voice as she started to turn to go back upstairs.

"Yea, I'll go," Draco said behind her.


(At the Quidditch Pitch…)

Hermione sat on the broom like she did the last time and Draco had them in the air in no time. 'This really does release stress,' Hermione thought.

"How do you steer?" she asked Draco.

"Easy. You kind of have to shift you weight to the side you want to go and move the stick with you hands…" he saw the look on her face. "Well, it's easy once you get the hand of it."

"Can I try?"

"Uhh…" 'Right, have her try and run us into the ground… sounds like a plan!' "sure, but I'll bring us lower first."

"You think I'm gonna run us into the ground?"

"Well, you can never be too sure," he laughed.

Hermione took control over the broom and Draco was surprised that she knew what she was doing. 'Maybe if I find another broom, she can use that herself… hm?'

Lunchtime came around and Draco insisted that they go in because he was hungry. Plus it was getting kind of chilly.

"Wanna go again tonight?" he asked her.

"Yep!"


(In the Great Hall…)

"Hey everyone!" Hermione greeted her fellow classmates, even Harry.

"Are you feeling ok, Mi?" Ron asked.

"Oh, yea, never better, super, totally perfect, see me be happy!" she smiled.

"Was it because you had a little fun with Malfoy this morning?" Harry asked her with the emphasis on 'fun'.

"Excuse me but was I talking to you?"

"You did what this morning with who?" Ginny asked her a bit loudly. The Great Hall went silent and several heads turned toward them.

"No need to stare, people!" Hermione said, telling them off. "Ok, I can see that I'm not really wanted here, so bye." And she walked off.

School has been like that for the next several months, people are confused with Hermione, Hermione and Draco got a little secret relationship going on that no one knows about, Ginny are still mad at Harry (Hermione and Harry made up), Ron still has his Slytherin girlfriend, and I think that the planets are still aligned!

Christmastime… wow do the months go by fast!

Hermione woke up with a pile of gifts at the end of her bed. She reached for one and it was from Hagrid, he got her a bag full of chocolate frogs. Ron and Harry got her Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans. Ginny's was a charm bracelet, and her father got her a book, The 10th Kingdom, by Kathryn Wesley. She put her gifts in her closet, and grabbed her clothes for the day. She also got Draco's gift wrapped, praying that he will like it. Once it was wrapped, she walked to Draco's room and knocked on the door. He answered it with a smile.

"Merry Christmas!" she said, handing him the present.

"Mi, what is it?"

"I hate it when people do that! Open it and find out!"

He did.

It was a cage, and inside was a snake. It was green with just a hit of silver (the snake not the cage!). Draco dropped his mouth at the gift.

"Catching flies, Dray?" Hermione laughed.

"How did you know I wanted a snake?" Hermione shrugged. "Whatever, I love it." He pulled her into a kiss. "Now for your gift." He went to his closet and pulled out a long package. "For you!"

Hermione opened it. In the box she found a Nimbus 2001 and she noticed that her initials were imprinted on the stick.

"Draco… I… OMG, I have no idea what to say…"

"You like it?"

"I love it!" she jumped on him and kissed him.

"Hey, you were getting really good at flying, I figured that you could use your own broom."

They spend the day outside in the snow, flying. Although no one knew about them being together and all, they both thought that they were being spied on. When dinner rolled around, Draco and Hermione went down to the Great Hall together. Yea, they knew for a fact that people were very suspicious about them. Draco sat with his Slytherin friends as Hermione went to Her Gryffindor ones.

"Mi, there is…" Harry started.

"No, there isn't!" She knew what he was going to say.

"How do you know what I was gonna say?"

"You been saying it for the past three months!"

"She's got a point, you know," Ron said.

They spent the rest of dinner laughing and not once did Ron or Harry bring up Draco.
