The next day Hermione had long since forgotten about the partridge charm that she got yesterday, she was to busy wrapping and preparing for Christmas which was now eleven days away. The female in question was currently sitting down in her living room wrapping said gifts. She was humming Destiny Child's '8 Days Of Christmas'. They where a muggle group that she had become addicted to every Christmas season. Singing softly the words she cut, taped and wrapped the gifts that were neatly stacked next to her and packed them next to her after they were wrapped. She wrote simple short cards to each person, by now her hands hurt from writing so many cards.
Laying backwards leaning on the arm chair that she had slide out of hours ago. Tilting her head to the side to take a quick nap she saw perched out side her window was the same brown eagle owl that gave her the charm the day before. Quickly Hermione scampered up and unhooked the latch of the window allowing the bird in.
The minute the latch unhooked the owl soared in and flew in circles around Hermione's head waiting for her to close the window back. Same as before the moment she was done what she had been doing the brown owl flew to her and dropped a once again green on green package in her hands.
Opening the box Hermione took of the top and looked inside it. Inside was a pin with two turtle doves sitting side by side so there becks touched. It was painted white with two little diamonds for eyes on, one on each dove and other small diamonds incrusted around the edge showing the outline for each bird. Hermione was awe stuck by its beauty, it wasn't everyday that a girl got diamond encrusted jewelry.
Looking at the card that was before blank she saw the identical style of writing as the day before, she assumed it was the same person. Picking up the card to get a better look at what it said,
On the second day of Christmas,
I gave my true love
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
Two down ten to go
Your True Love
Hermione just like before was confused; she had no love that she knew of. Of course there was that crush that Ron still even after seven years still had on her but she didn't think he could afford the pin that she was now clutching to her chest. Picking up the discarded box she delicately put the pin back in the box when she noticed the owl was still perched on her coffee table.
"Are you waiting for something?" the brunette ask, it was said that animals could understand human language if they spent enough time around them, and the owl hooted once and gave the smallest of nods. It took off and flew towards her bedroom and Hermione ran after it to make sure it didn't cause any damage.
In her room Yoshima was hissing angrily at the bird that was flying over her head, she would occasionally swat at it when it came closer to the bed where she had been resting till disturbed by the bird taunting her currently. Hermione ran over to the small kitten and scooped her up shushing immediately the cats hissing.
"Yoshi, don't try to kill the bird it means no harm, right" Hermione comforted the kitten looking at the in question bird who hooted in understanding, or what Hermione took as understanding. It flew over to her desk and picked up a pieces of parchment and a quill and dropped it in front of her as if to say write a letter. So that's what she did. It was brief and to the point for she didn't see the point in writing a long drawn out letter to an anonymous person if she wasn't even sure she was going to get a response. After Hermione had graduated from Hogwarts and The Magick University of Oxford she stopped writing long drawn out letters and note she kept them simple and to the point with only the necessary pleasantries. So in the end once the letter was composed it read something to this effect;
Dear Sir (If this is a Miss that's just creepy)
I was wonder who you are and if I know you. Obviously you don't to tell me who you are but could you at least tell me if I know you. If this is Ron this isn't funny same goes if this is Blasie. I really can't accept the gifts you've been sending but for some reason your owl What's his name by the way wont take them. Why is that? Anyway I hope you responed soon.
Yours Truly
Hermione Granger
So she tied the not to the small birds ankle and watched as the brown bird flew off.
A/N: Let me just say one I know there's only seven days to till Christmas so I may do one of three things I may skip parts of the song so I can have it done by Christmas or I may post more than on chapter in one day or lastly I may just finish it by new years and make it a Christmas new years fic. Oh and the other thing is this is not Beta'd I have a Harry Potter Beta but I want this out the same day I write them and if I had them Beta'd it'd take to long cause my email so temperamental and sometimes wont let me send stuff out. So all mistakes are mine.
