Chapter 18: Christmas Day


Hermione woke up the next morning feeling a little sick, she got out of the bed, ran down the stairs, holding her hand to her mouth praying that she would make it to the bathroom. After a few minutes she was still grasping the toilet for dear-life.

Draco just woken up with a smile on his face, he leaned up from his green covers and stretched out his arms. He loved Christmas morning it was the only truly time he had ever been happy in his life was on Christmas. Even his father, bless his soul, at least was a little nice on Christmas. Not all nice, just a little. Draco heard gagging noises coming from downstairs so he went to go check on where it was coming from or who. As he made his way down the stairs, he heard the noises coming from the bathroom so he knocked on the door.

"Hermione is that you" Draco asked. There was some more throwing up noise then a pause.

"Yes...just a little morning...sickness..." Hermione said again followed by throwing up some more. Draco opened the door and rushed to her side holding back her hair for her.

"Is there anything I can get you, water, a potion, anything?" Draco asked her. Hermione just shook her head and flushed the toilet.

"Not his is just symptoms of the first trimester, I should be over with it, in about two months" Hermione said. Draco helped her up and lead her over to the couch.

"Well Happy Christmas Hermione, I got something for you now where is it?" Draco said looking around in his robes.

"Oh I left it upstairs be right back" Draco orbed in front of Hermione and within seconds was right in front of her again. Draco held in front of her a small thin box. Hermione cocked her eyebrow and took the box and wondered what could be inside. She opened the black box carefully and what was inside amazed her. It was a long silver chained necklace (A/N: think of how long, from the Pirates of the Caribbean the necklace that had the medallion on it) dangling from it was a gold heart locket, encrusted in the locket was rubies and emeralds. Hermione opened the locket and inside was an inscription and a picture of her and Draco. Hermione squinted her eyes to read the inscription.

'Forever we will be together, in mind, body, and spirit, our love will bond us together always'

After Hermione finished reading it she wiped a small tear that escaped from her eyes and put the locket over her head.

"Wow, now I feel terrible about giving you your present" Hermione said. Draco just rolled his eyes.

"I'm sure your present is fine, now where is my present" Draco did a fake whine. Hermione slapped his arm playfully and rolled her eyes. Hermione squinted her eyes and a huge green and silver box floated down the stairs. Hermione rested the box in front of Draco and Draco went wide eyed.

"Hermione what did you get me?" Draco said shockingly. Hermione told him to open it and he lifted off the cover and looked inside. All inside was white tissue paper. He gave Hermione a what-kind-of-present-is this look. Hermione told him to take out the paper. He took out the first couple of sheets and saw a book, he gave Hermione a puzzled look.

"Was this for me or for you?" both of them laughed.

"No silly look at the cover, I bought it as a joke" Hermione said. Draco turned the book over and read the blue and pink lettering and started to laugh.

"How to be a good parent, oh how funny Hermione" Draco said sarcastically. Hermione just rolled her eyes.

"I knew you like it, now dig deeper" Hermione said enthusiastically. Draco pulled out more tissue paper and finally reached the bottom, when he took out the last remaining paper, he opened his eyes in shock and looked from the box to Hermione.

"Hermione is this what I think this is?" Draco asked. Hermione just nodded and motioned for him to take it out. Draco pulled a red quaffle out and gold lettering was covering it. He looked around the quaffle and saw signatures all over it.

"Hermione how and where did you get this from?" Draco said staggeringly. Hermione just smiled at him.

"I wrote a letter to Viktor Krum and asked him if he could get the Bulgaria team to sign this for you, I would of asked for a snitch but I think that all those signatures wouldn't fit on there" Hermione giggled. Draco reached over and embraced Hermione in a hug.

"Hermione this is the best present I ever had, thank you so much" Draco said. Hermione just smiled.

"Your welcome, but you need to ease up on the hug, don't want to hurt the baby do you?" Draco just gave Hermione an Eskimo kiss and leaned in for a real when Harry and Ron came through the portrait hole. Draco and Hermione quickly separated and acted like nothing happen.

"Thanks for the present Granger but you're still a filthy little mud...muggle, now if you'll excuse me I have some studying to do in the library, Potter, Weasley" Draco said and left out the portrait hole. Hermione really didn't like Harry and Ron at the moment. 'I have to change that password' Hermione thought.

"Hey guys Happy Christmas, so what are you guys up to this time?" Hermione smiled. Harry and Ron just shrugged their shoulders.

"Just wanted to give you your gift, here's mine" Harry said. Harry handed her a red bag filled with gold tissue paper.

"Harry I had no idea you know how to use tissue paper" Hermione said surprisingly. Harry blushed a little.

"I don't, Ginny helped me" Harry said sheeply.

"Yeah she helped me too" Ron said. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Of course how could I ever think it was you two?" Hermione laughed. They all laughed for a few seconds, then Hermione opened Harry's gift. Inside it was a thick heavy book, she took it out and read the cover.

"Advance Charms and Transfiguration for the Gifted, where did you get the book Harry?" Hermione said.

"I got it from Sirius at his house, he said you'll probably like it" Harry said. Hermione gave Harry a hug and he whispered something in her ear.

"So got any new powers lately?" Harry asked. Hermione just smiled and pulled away.

"No not yet" Hermione said and then turned towards Ron.

"Ok where's my present" Hermione asked. Ron's ears went a little red. And he took something from behind his back.

"Here you go Hermione" Ron said while pulling something from behind his back. Hermione rested her arm on the arm of the sofa and took the bag from Ron. It was a gold bag and had red tissue paper.

"Wow you guys are so original when it comes to bag colors huh?" Hermione said laughingly and sarcastically.

Hermione looked into the bag and took out a t-shirt and a skirt. She gave Ron a quizzed look like-how- would -you- know- my -size -and -how -can- you- pick- out- clothes- for -girls- look.

"It's a present from me and Ginny, oh and here's the present from my mum as usual" Ron finally said. Hermione just nodded her head and took Mrs. Weasley's bag and set it aside and began to read the front of the shirt. When she read the deep red shirt with gold lettering she laughed.

"Being an Insufferable know-it-all is not a crime, nice one Ron I like it and you...I mean Ginny got me blue jean Capri's too, cool!" Hermione said excitedly. She hugged Ron and went to the bathroom to put on the outfit and came back out.

"So how do I look?" Hermione said walking like a model out of the bathroom and did the twirls and everything. Harry and Ron fell on the couch with laughter. Hermione huffed at their amusement.

"I guess I have to give you're guys presents to some other 17 year old boys since you guys are being mean to me" Hermione said jokingly. Harry and Ron sat up straight and paid close attention to Hermione. Hermione just laughed.

"Ok boys turn around while I go and get your presents I want it to be a surprise" Hermione said. Harry and Ron turned around, but Harry was very curious so he peaked a little, Hermione knew he was doing it and just laughed at him. She squinted her eyes and two small thin envelopes came floating down the stairs, Hermione grabbed them and told the boys to turn around. As they turned around Hermione handed them an envelope. Harry and Ron both looked at each other and then started to open it.

"I didn't know what to get you guys this year, so it thought of something a little more to your liking" Hermione said with a smile. They opened their envelopes and were shocked.

"Bloody hell Hermione! A 25 galleon gift certificate to any Quidditch store, thanks Hermione" Ron and Harry said. They both hugged Hermione and gave her a tight hug and then let go of her.

"Come on Ron we got to go show this to Seamus and Dean, they'll be so jealous, see you later Hermione" Harry said. And they ran out the portrait hole. Hermione sighed and fell on the couch with her legs propped up on the couch.

Their gone Draco you can come back now Hermione said mentally. Blue and White lights were in front of Hermione and then Draco appeared in front of her.

"Good, I would of thought they never leave...we need to change the password" Draco sneered and sat down next to Hermione, and Hermione just nodded her head.

They sat there sitting next to each other when Draco finally realized that she wasn't wearing her pajamas anymore.

"When did you change? And what are you wearing?" Draco asked. Hermione turned so he could read her shirt. He read it and was quickly consumed by laughter.

"I think you should where that shirt every day Hermione" Draco said. Hermione squinted her eyes at him.

"You really think so huh? Well how about you don't sleep in my room anymore for a week" Hermione said. Draco just gaped his mouth open.

"You would really put me out in the cold like that?" Draco said giving her a pouty lip. Hermione stood up and walked away towards the him.

"No I put you out in the fire like that" Hermione said and before Draco could process of what she meant, fire came out of her hands and shot towards Draco. He ducked out of the way and looked at her.

"Alright Hermione it's war" Draco said. And the two of them were playing with each others powers in a playful way and making a mess about it.

FrozenFlames- i guess your excited because i updated it

V0xLoS-thank you so much for my mistake about the son and daughter thing i changed it right away, with the whole tux thing i'm just going to leave it, it doesn't really impact the story in anyway, but thank you for pointing that out for me

- I don't who sent me this review but it had no name, ok, peopel do like my story except for one or two people, so it's not like everybody as you are infering it to be, and for the people who don't like it, I respect their opinion and they tell me that, which is quite alright, now the whole thing about Hermioen being a Sue was gonna happen because the story is AU, thats why I posted it because it's an Alternate Universe, Hermione doesn't have to be who everyone pictures her to be, and my name is Tomsgurl4lyfe, if you're going to insult me, at least spell my name correctly, i mean come on it's right there on the page.

Ciara- Ok this is the author now talking, I have taken into concideration your viewpoints and tried to make my story more grammatcially correct, i understand where you are coming from, and you are probaly much more capable of writing a correctly done story, where as Greek Mythology doesn't suffer and Hermione is not a Mary Sue, but I have put this story under the catagory of AU for the sake that i knew i was going to be changing a lot around, i'm not going to change my ideas for the story, but i will try to make it more grammaticaly correct, thank you for your opinion and i respect it.

A disgusted reader- Well if your IQ dropped then I am terribly sorry, but if you don't like the way i want to interpret the Greek Myhtology, then by all means don't read it, but i think it is very imature that you had to result to name calling, honestly if you are trying to get your point across there are other ways then name calling.

SwordMage- Ok first point i did not take my anger out on Ciara, it was my beta, and i have already responded to Ciara if you read above, like i have said in the last 2 reviews, it is an AU, things are not the same, I interpret and write things different to fit my version of how i want to write it, now with the whole music thing, if you don't like the music then scroll down and just ignore it
