If you are offended by strong language this is just a warning that this chapter contains some.

(Its hard to write certain character's speach without cursing!)

Here's the ending of the story; Enjoy!

By the students' curfew the entire Gryffindor common room was lamenting Snape's unfair detentions. Harry, Ron, and Ginny were seated around the fireplace imagining what they'd like to say to Snape if they had the chance, and what they'd like to do to Malfoy if they had a similar chance. Professor Flitwick had been found in his office, snoring loudly face down on the desk, smelling strongly of Odgen's Old Firewhiskey. And Hermione had disappeared.

Hermione turned into a secluded alcove and slid down the wall until she was sat on the floor, leaning against a large tapestry. She hated Malfoy. She hated his smug grin, she hated his cold eyes, she hated his arrogence, but most of all she hated the fact that ever since this morning she couldn't hate him anymore.

If Hermione hadn't been so busy swathing herself in self-pity she might have heard the footsteps that were approaching.

"You look pathetic Granger" a voice said. And all too familiar voice.

Draco Malfoy stepped out of the hallway and into the alcove where Hermione was seated.

"What do you want?" Hermione said, her tears drying on her cheeks and her eyes now squinted in dislike.

"I wanted to ask you a question."

"Oh, you wanted to ask me a question! What about me? I want to ask you a few questions first! Like where do you get off kissing me like that this morning?"

Hermione had gotten up and was know advancing upon Malfoy,

"And I thought you hated me? And then, why'd you call me a mudblood after the kiss you intiated?"

Malfoy regarded the angry female pointing her finger accusatorily into his chest and decided now was certainly not the time to tell the truth.

"It was the mistletoe, you prat! Like you said it was magical mistletoe, if I had known you were lurking under it I would have skipped breakfast!"

"Fair enough Malfoy, although you and I both know I wasn't lurking anywhere, but then explain the fact that mistletoe is only one hundred percent effective when pre-existing emotions exist between the people standing under it!"

Okay, so maybe it was the time to tell the truth.

"Fine, Granger, Godammit, I don't know why the fuck I kissed you like that, its like when we were ontop of each other something came over me..I felt…"

"Felt what?" Hermione said, her wide eyes boring into him.

"Felt everything I'm not supposed to feel." Draco mumbled.

"D-draco…" Hermione said, giving him a pitying look, she made a sudden movement as though to reach for his hand, then stopped.

"I hate you." he said, lifting his cold eyes to meet hers.

"I hate you, Hermione because your fucking irritate the hell out of me!"

"Ditto." Hermione said cooly.

"So, then we understand each other." Malfoy said with an officious air.

"Perfectly" Hermione said meeting his steely gaze with her warm brown eyes.

She turned to go and then…

"Granger!"

She turned around to find Malfoy standing next to her holding a small plant in his hand..it looked like…it couldn't be…

"Mistletoe." Malfoy said as explaination, smirking.

"Oh, right." Hermione said, returning his smirk.

Malfoy grabbed Hermione roughly by the waist, letting the mistletoe fall to the ground at their feet, and pressing her against his chest.

This time their was no fear in his eyes, but something else: lust.

Hemrione ran one hand through his perfectly combed hair,causing some of it to fall into his face,and the other grasped his neck as she let Draco Malfoy humble her with her first real kiss.

Malfoy's toungue slid into her mouth with the same gentle finesse as it had before, only now the kiss deepened and Hermione responded to him with fervent passion.

When they broke apart Hermione's eyes looked at Malfoy searchingly. He didn't flinch. He didn't wipe his mouth. He didn't even have the urge to insult her.

Then she saw the question in his eyes and nodded.

They would never tell anyone.

Anything more than mistletoe would never exist between them.

It wasn't allowed to.

So it was that Hermione and Malfoy parted and neither looked back as they walked to their respective common rooms, each with nothing gained from their encounter, except for the trace of a smile on their lips.

Hermione would always hate Malfoy and Malfoy would always hate Hermione, only now they understood each other too and if for some reason they should find themselves some more mistletoe to stand under…well, then, that would be perfectly understandable, wouldn't it?

That night two figures crept up to the great hall in shadow and simultaneously pulled their wands out of their robes. At the count of three they said the countercharm that caused the mistletoe to fall to the ground. One figure bent to pick up the few branches and pocketed it. Fred and George turned towards each other and smiled thinking they had caused quite enough trouble that day.

So, did you like it? Let me know, as always, and Happy Holidays!

Hope you guys have similar success with misletoe- ; )
