A/N: Ok I am sorry if this pisses anyone off, but right now I am under a bit of stress. You don't mind that I am skipping a transition chapter and just skipping to Christmas Break do you? I am just pooped-de-ooped after school, as you can tell from my wording. (Mutters to self, It is just bound to get worst. As soon as Aquatics starts getting bad and we have to run, I am just going to be dead on my feet, so bear with me!)Oh and I HATE MY MATH TEACHER! Not really, i mean he is a kewl guy but he give you freaking homework every freaking night!

Christmas break was upon them... Again. Though no one was very disappointed by this. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Lindsay and Ginny were the only ones from the Gryffindor tower that were staying for the Christmas holidays. But that small number for a house was a lot from all the others.

Hermione recalled the latest talk with Draco as she sat in the window seat in the common room

She had just come off of seeing all the students off, on to the train. She walked slowly back to the castle. There would only be a couple of people staying from each house. But what was weird enough Draco was staying. The only Slytherin she knew to stay. She had heard a slight whispering in the bank to the left of the cleared road.

"Hermione come here."

She knew that whisper. She quickly ran over to the bank and looked over the edge. Draco was sitting beneath it rubbing his hands together, his coat buttoned up to the very top and a thick hat squashed on to his head. Before she knew it, he had reached up and grabbed her arm and pulled her, face first, over the ledge.

She landed sprawled over the snow and his lap. He quickly kissed her before grabbing her fallen hat and smashing it on to her head.

"Hey!" she said softly, scrambling to sit up.

"Hay is for horses." He said before pulling her close and kissing her forehead. "You know I have waited for you right here for a long time and I think I might have gotten cold."

Hermione Laughed. "Really? Now lets see if I can warm you up." She said bringing her lips to his. She laid across his lap gently her butt resting in the snow between his legs. Her arms entwined around his neck.

"Hermione." He said a long time later. She was still sitting in his lap. Her face resting on his chest. Her arms still entwined around his neck. His breath molded with hers as they rose into the sky.

He was cold and was sure she was, and His butt was asleep and frozen solid.

"Hum?" She moaned softly.

"My butt is asleep, lets go back to the school." He said setting her up. Her cheeks were red and so was the tip of her nose. He kissed her nose gently before helping her stand up.

Draco had wanted to say this for the past month but wasn't sure how to say it. But it had to come out one way or another... But not now he decided

He grabbed her hand and pulled her over the snow mound quickly. "Ugh." She moaned quickly with a look of disgust on her face.

"What?" he asked.

"I have snow in my boot, and it is cold." She murmured bending down, bracing one hand on Draco's shoulder, and slipping off her boot. Her toes squeezed up in the cold as she shook out her boot.

"Oh darling I just love your socks!" Draco said sarcastically, looking down at the white sock.

"I know, aren't they lovely!" faked Hermione slipping her boot back on.

"Spectacular!" he said laughing as they finished the walk.

They walked into the great hall, no one was their, as breakfast was finished, only Professor Dumbledore sat in his seat as he was doing earlier that morning. Hermione walked up to him slowly and let him look up at her before speaking.

"Morning Professor." She said brightly.

"Good Morning Miss Granger, and to you the same Mr. Malfoy. How did the students do this morning?" he asked, his bright blue eyes twinkling.

"Great Professor. They, well for the most part, were very well behaved. I am sure Ernie can handle the ride home," She thought of the head boy. "Hopefully."

Dumbledore chuckled. "That's great. I do believe there are only 10 students left in the school, am I correct?" he asked

"Yes Sir."

"Very well." he magicked some papers up fast and handed them to her. " Would you please hand these out to them?"

"Sure Professor." Said Hermione grabbing the papers from him and walking away. Draco walked behind her.

"What does the stupid paper say?" he asked when they were out of ear shot from professor Dumbledore.

She handed him a paper.

"So Milady, I suppose you will be happy to see Viktor Krum again I suppose?" he asked as they headed down the hall.

"Of course it is always a pleasure seeing Viktor." She looked over at Draco's slightly sneering face. "You aren't jealous are you?" She asked, chuckling a little.

"No!" He lied. "No of course not!"

"Uh Huh." She said before stopping and handing him one of the papers. " There you go. Now you go do something." She said pushing him away slightly.

"But i thought you wanted to be with me!" he said, faking a hurt look.

"You know I can't take you with me to the other common rooms, Hell I don't know where yours is! Professor Snape refuses to tell me where!"

"I guess he has his reasons." Smirked Draco before quickly kissing her on her cheek and turning down a hallway.

Hermione smiled and walked to the Hufflepuff common room, without knowing she was being watched.

Hermione blinked and stared around the common room. Ron was upstairs either sleeping or working on plays, Harry and Ginny were taking advantage of the time alone without Ron to snuggle up.

Hermione smiled as she watched Harry speak softly to Ginny. How Ginny smiled and laughed at what ever Harry had just said. How his arm fitted easily around her. They didn't have to keep it secret, they could let it slip to Ron at anytime but chose not to. Hermione could never let it slip

Not without Draco and herself talking.

On a brighter note, she thought, She would be able to see Viktor again tomorrow. She hadn't seen him for 2 years and couldn't wait. She hoped that he brought all members of his large family's. She over heard Dumbledore telling McGonagall earlier this week about how many people were coming from the games and Ministry.

The Ministry was still interfering with Hogwarts but at the minimal. Fudge would be there, along with his wife, a few Aurors, Mafalda Hopkirk and her daughter and son, Madame Bones would be there too, That would explain why Susan Bones stayed as well, Madame Maxime would be staying as well.

Hagrid would certainly enjoy it

Over all there would be about 20 extra people staying overnight. More then a hundred people, dignitaries and Judges from the contest would be coming for the night but leaving at the same time.

It was going to be very crowed, She wondered who Dumbledore was getting to entertain. One could only wonder...
