A/N: The reviews are great! Thanks, I always love getting them. Anyway, to address a matter : The subject is Grandmere. Anyway about her accent thing. I know it's completely in-corret ( I'm not that ignorant to assume it was right ) and I know I keep adding 'z''s at the end to everything. But to be quite honest, I'm not gonna change anything. I know it can be annoyin'...sorry about that, but that's how it's gonna stay till the end of the story. Unless I get like 20 reviews addressing the issuse, then I'm simply gonna change her to American ( which I originally planned her to be ). Read and Review! P.S. Thank you on my correction of 'mon' and 'ma', I knew something was off.
Chap. 6 : Christmas Eve, Baby
Chap. 6 sumarry : Karaoke! After being caught doing something very naughty, Draco and Hermione believe a little karaoke is in order. Even though much hasn't changed, it helps the mood...slighty. Everything seem to be going well...
"Mum, this is Hermione's parents and grandmere, John, Natalie and Rebecca; this is my mum, Narcissa Malfoy." Draco said with a weak attempt at a smile. Narcissa on the other hand, looked at him with her eyes cold and narrow.
"Introduce me to them, when you're dressed. I know I didn't raise my son, a Malfoy at that, to introduce people when he isn't even properly dressed. The muggles might appreciate this, but I don't." Narcissa said with disgust.
"What in the bloody hell is a muggle?" John asked.
Narcissa just ignored them. "Draco, please get one of the house elves to get my suitcases…they're downstairs." Narcissa walked downstairs, Rebecca, John and Natalie followed her; but not before John threw Draco a dirty look.
" House elves? What in the world is a house elf?" Natalie asked John before closing the door. Hermione took a deep breath and laid back on the bed.
"Oh….bloody hell! I can't believe that happened." Hermione whispered. She put her head in her hand. This is already turning out to be a disaster.
"Well….at least my mum didn't insult your parents and grandmere." Draco said while trying to look on the bright side. Hermione sighed.
"That still doesn't change the fact, that my father almost killed you when he saw you on top of me, my grandmere and mother seeing you…in…all your glory!" Hermione cringed at the thought that her mother saw her fiancée's….thing!
"Avada Kedavra me now!" She whispered.
A little while later in the living room, when everyone was calmed and waiting for Draco and Hermione to appear, not much had been said; Hermione and Draco managed to come downstairs…..both dressed, of course, but both couldn't hide their flushed cheeks from the earlier incident. Grandmere's face was full of happiness and mischief and a twinkle in her eye. John's face was less then happy, his was more filled with fury then anything as he watched Draco's every move he made with his daughter. Natalie's face had a weak smile and couldn't look at Draco without blushing. Narcissa had a bored look on her face and yawned.
"Oh! Here comes the happy couple!" Narcissa exclaimed sarcastically.
"I canz zees why." Grandmere mumbled to herself. She gave Draco a seductive look; Draco, turned and looked away. I can't believe this is happening..
John stood up and pointed at Draco."Why are you continuing to support your granddaughter in this? She has almost just been caught shagging with….with him!"
Rebecca then stood up and put her hands on her tiny waist.
"Excuze-moi! Wellz maybe for one, that'z iv her fiancée!" Grandmere now pointed at Draco.
"This goes on all the time! You always support her no matter what! I-I-it's like your trying to get revenge on me and your daughter through Hermione!"
" Don'tz you darvz pin thiz on me! I love 'Mione! She iz a grown woman! She can make her own choicvz!" Natalie then came into the middle.
"Both of you! I am sick and tired of all this….bloody fighting! Ma mere…" Natalie said turning to her mother. "You can't change the past. Nothing you say and do is gonna change the fact that I married John and not Pierre." Natalie then turned around to John. "John! You know better…that's my ma mere! You are gonna have to deal with the fact that our daughter is marrying the man she loves and is not a little girl anymore. Need I remind you that we did the same thing when we first got engaged!" Grandmere and John then both looked at each other and sat down, both being told off both the normally easy going Natalie.
Go mum. Hermione thought as she first saw her mum tell both her grandmere and father off.
After that was through, everyone was quiet. Narcissa just looked around. Those muggles are so vulgar. She thought at witnessing Natalie's verbal attack on her family. Maybe with a little convincing from the Parkinsons, I could probably get-
"Mother..." Narcissa quickly pushed her thoughts away and looked at Draco who had a concerned look on her face.
"Oh yes, Darling?" Narcissa put on her best fake smile she managed. I fight against Granger's kinds all my life, and the next thing I know…they're going to be my family.
"We're going to the kitchen for some tea, are you coming?"
"Yes…I am. Sorry about that dozing off again. You know me." Someone needs to get me fire whiskey!
Tea time, turned out to be much more interesting…
"So tell me…what do you do?" Narcissa asked John and Natalie, after 30 minutes of general talk.
Natalie spoke up. "Oh, well actually both I and my husband, John, are dentist. We both use to run a practice. Well, now I run it. John decided to take some time off and try some other things…" Grandmere snorted, and Natalie threw her a look. If looks can kill, my grandmere would have been dead 6 hours ago. Hermione thought to herself.
"So, Mrs. Malfoy, what do you and Mr. Malfoy do?" John asked, apparently not knowing that Mr. Lucius Malfoy was locked up in Azkaban. Draco kind of left out that fact when writing to the Grangers.
Narcissa looked at Draco, and continued to talk once Draco gave his approval.
"Ah, well me and my husband inherited our money…but my husband did work for the ministry of magic, but we really didn't need it though, since we were already rich. But Lucius just couldn't deny the job. He was also a deatheater." Narcissa said quite proudly, much to Draco and Hermione's dismay.
"What iz thiz thing you call a deatheatzr?" Grandmere asked.
"Oh, they're people who-"
"They're people who fight for the wizarding world. You know protect us. Like the police." Hermione added. Draco let out a sigh Thank Merlin, Hermione could come up with good coverups.
"From their kind." Narcissa whispered more to herself.
"But where iz thiz Mr. Malvoy?" Grandmere asked.
"DOES anyone want some more tea or a snack….?" Hermione asked as she got up from the tea.
"Oh yeah, 'Mione. Thanks." Draco said as he accepted more. I'm gonna need something strong.
Narcissa started to change her attitude. "Don't you two think you're a little young to get married? I mean, it is a great responsibility; this isn't something you give up on when you tired of each other."
"Mother-we already discussed this-"
"Mrs. Malfoy is right. I mean, you two are young. Go explore…and do some stuff before settling down." John added.
"Dad! You agreed!"
"You two hardly know each other." Narcissa added, and drank some more tea; hiding a smile.
"What are you talking about, Mother? Me and Hermione have known each other for 14 years."
"I still think you two are young."
Draco started to lose his cool. "That's funny. Considering you were 18 when you married father." Narcissa's eyes widen.
"How do you know!"
"You know house elves do talk! Really mother, house elves are an awful substitute for a therapist."
" You take that back Draco…it was a completely different time back then…"
" Dad why would you agree to the marriage if you were against it?" Hermione asked her father.
" I'm not against it, 'Mione. It's just that..." John was trying tothink of the right words.
" What iz everyone talking 'bout? John and Nat were both in their 20s when they married each other."
John rolled his eyes. She really isn't helping the situation.
"-Mother, this still doesn't excuse anything. Me and Hermione have known each other for almost 14 years. You and father only knew each other for 2 years! So please tell me, who had the more time knowing each other?" I knew my mother wouldn't have come without an agenda.
"Okay, okay! Look at the time!" Hermione said as she looked at the clock"It's time for the thing!" Hermione said as she looked to Draco for help. The arguing still continuing.
"Yes, Hermione. Your right…" He looked at the time, it was 7: 50 pm. Right, where am I supposed to be...Blaise..…? "Karaoke!" Everyone automatically stopped talking.
"What on earth are you talking about, Draco?" Narcissa asked, putting her tea down.
Natalie interrupted. "It's when you sing songs..."
Narcissa had a disgusted look on her face. "Is that some sort of muggle tradition?"
"No, mother. It's just you never did it in front of a crowd."
"You mean we have to sing in front of a crowd?"
"You don't have to, Mrs. Malfoy." Hermione said.
"Oh well, I won't it would be utterly dreadful, if I did."
"Oi! I lovz theze karaoke! I use to do it with youz grandpere…." Grandmere looked sad for a moment, but quickly recovered. "Wellz, what 're we doing? Let'z goez!" Grandmere grabbed her jacket and started to head for the door, which everyone took as a que to go. Narcissa came outside, and breathed in the cold air.
"So what are we traveling by? I would more personally suggest…."
"Oh, we're traveling by car, mother." Draco gave her a fake smile. "I thought you might enjoy it."
"Oh goody!" Narcissa said to herself.
The car ride was less then great. Narcissa showed a sly way of insulting her future daughter-in-law's family, even enough to get death glares from Draco…but she didn't stop. Grandmere continued to insult John's driving, while Natalie just gave up on the two. Hermione started to think about the wedding and wondering if any other witch had it this hard as she did with her family. Draco kept getting dirty looks from Hermione's father, and hoped that the karaoke bar would patch thing up between the families and make them forget the earlier events. Even though he knew it was going to be hard. They finally came to the bar, after what seemed like an eternity in hell, was actually 20 minutes away. Luckily the bar was located in themiddle of London ( A/N : Sorry, I don't really know any English towns/cities besides the obvious...) and had many muggle costumers, even though it was ran by wizards and witches. It was called 'wizard's pub', which to Hermione was ironic. Considering many muggles thought it was a joke, which in reality was true.
Narcissa looked out the window. "You expect me to go in there…?" She asked looking at the place with doubt. It certainly didn't look clean on the outside. Well that's what they can say about the Malfoy Manor, Narcissa…She reminded herself.
Grandmere got out of the car with the help of Draco. "So doez other wiuzardz go here?"
"Yes." Draco then helped Hermione out of the car, both exchanging worried glances.
"Oh Draco…" Natalie looked at the bar. "You didn't tell us it's a bar."
"What do you expect, Nat…" John muttered to his wife, and threw yet another dirty look at Draco.
"John..." Natalie warned.
"They're here!" Ginny rang out as Hermione, Draco, Grandmere, John, Natalie and Narcissa entered the bar. The place had Christmas tunes playing in the background. All of the Wealsey were there , with the exception of Charlie and Percy andBill. Much of Hogwarts old students were also there. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley came before her. "Oh Hermione, dear. I'm so glad you could make it…." Mrs. Weasley took her jacket.
"Ah! John…Natalie! Always a pleasure seeing you again." Mr. Weasley excitedly went up to Hermione's parents, shaking their hands. "It has been quite some time, hasn't it? Have you brought any muggle things with you? You know, I have always found them quite exciting…even though my wife tells me it's quite mad. Can you tell me, what is a 'CD'?"
"You must be Mr. Weasley. We haven't seen you for quite some time…." Natalie said trying to take in all of what Mr. Weasley said, even though it seemed quite hard at the moment, with the music playing and all of the people talking.
"Tell me, how was it between Draco's mom and your parents and grandmere?" Ginny asked as she dragged Hermione into the corner near the bathroom.
"Umm…." Hermione hesitated to talk. Ginny, quickly noticing this, pressed even more.
"So tell me what happened? Come on, 'Mione. I knew you since…you were 11. You can't hide anything from me. So pleaseeeee tell me what happened!"
"Fine, I'll tell you, even though I was gonna tell you later…." Hermione looked around to notice if anyone was listening.
"Okay…..theyasmotcaugtusinhect." Hermiome mumbled.
"What did you say?" Hermione turned bright red.
"They caught us…..when we were about to shag."
"Who? Who caught you shagging?"
"Our parents." Hermione looked at Ginny's face; which had a definitely surprising reaction.
"How? Umm…when? Why!" Was all Ginny could come out with. She couldn't imagine the look on her parents' face if they ever caught Blaise and her in bed.
"Well, you see….it was before they came…" Hermione blushed. "That we did something, and I suggested that we put a silencing charm on the door, which we did….I assumed the door, was locked….and lets just say they got to see Draco's...wand." Hermione looked to the floor. "It was so embarrassing Ginny! When we were having tea, my dad looked like he was going to kill Draco; while my grandmere was throwing him suggestive looks. And let me tell ya…..they weren't subtle!"
"Well, why were you guys even trying to shag, when you both knew your parents were coming?" Ginny asked.
Hermione suddenly looked up. "It was makeup sex!" Ginny still didn't change her expression. "It doesn't count."
"Alright, alright. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt-"
"Hey you guys! Why the long faces." Blaise came up to both Hermione and Ginny, kissing their cheeks. Apparently Draco hasn't told Blaise…Hermione thought.
"Santa Baby, slip a sable under the tree for me….been an awful good girl, Santa baby. So hurry down the chimney tonight…." Parvati sang breathlessly on stage. Her black hair pinned up in curls. Her hair salon for witches was quite a big hit in the wizarding world and made Parvati a rich girl...with good hair, which many young withes envied.
"Thiz bar iz zo crowded!" Grandmere said as she went to a table, almost getting knocked down in the process.
Narcissa, John, Draco, Natalie and Grandmere sat down at the table while waiting for Hermione.
"Come and trim my Christmas tree, with some decorations bought at Tiffany's. I really do believe in you, so let's see if you believe me…"
"Oh I believe in you, Parvati!" One of the guys in the crowd shouted and the place roared with laughter.
The waiter then came up to the table. "So, what will it be tonight?" Draco then looked around the table. No one said anything… "Well I guess we'll have 6 butterbeers."
"What iz thiz butterbeer?" Grandmere asked.
"Oh…it's really good. I can't describe it though. You'll like it." Draco reassured her. When is Hermione gonna come….
"Hey you guys." Hermione came to the table with Ginny and Blaise.
"Mrs. Granger! It's so wonderful to see you again…I hope my father wasn't too much trouble. I know how he gets when you guys come to visit." Ginny said as she hugged both Natalie and John. She then turned to Blaise and smiled. "And this is Blaise Zabini, my fiancée." Blaise shook both Natalie and John's hands.
"Hi."
"Wow…everyone just seems to be getting married." Natalie joked to Ginny.
"Congratulations." John said without much enthusiasm.
"This is Hermione's Grandmere-" Natalie said, but Grandmere interrupted.
"Rebecca DuMaurier." Ginny then shook her hand.
"Ginny Weasley, nice to meet you. And this is my fiancée, Blaise Zabini."
"Likewize I'm 'ure."
" 'Mione! Gin!" Said a familiar voice. Everybody turned around to see a very cheerful Tonks coming through the crowd. Her hair wasn't a shockingly pink anymore, but a more bright green. She was wearing a pair of pants and a knitted sweater.
She tripped while walking towards and whispered. "Oh bloody hell-Hey you guys!" She came up to them and smiling from ear to ear. Nymphadora Tonks, or Tonks as she likes to be called, was considerably happier, ever since she started dating the quiet and very older, Professor Remus Lupin. They were quite the interesting couple: Tonks, the free spirit, clumsy, and outrageous with the quiet, reserved, and wolfishProfessor Lupin. But in the end, after 5 years of dating they were still going strong. Professor Lupin showed up behind Tonks.
" Hi, 'Mione! Gin!" Tonks hugged them. " Great place isn't it? You should have been here earlier; Luna was singing…..quite a different performance of O Christmas Tree, I'll say." Hermione looked to Ginny.
"I'll tell you later." Ginny whispered in her ear.
"Hi Hermione, Ginny." Remus said as he went to the table next to Tonks. He then looked over to Draco. " Draco." He said and nodded towards him.
"Professor Lupin."
"Professor, this is my family. Mum, Natalie, Dad, John, and my Grandmere, Rebecca DuMaurier. Mum, Dad, Grandmere this was my Defense against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts; Professor Remus Lupin." Remus shook all of their hands and started to talk with Hermione's parents.
"Well, this is a little better…" Draco whispered to Hermione, bringing her closer to him. But he loosened his grip once he saw her father send him another one of his looks. Ginny and Blaise sat down, deciding which songs were the best.
" I'll be right back. My family wants us to do a song together…" Ginny said as she freed herself from Blaise.
All was quiet in the pub for a moment, intill the music started to play. Mrs. Weasley was first on stage. "Oh! You better watch out…"
Mr. Weasley now came on stage and joined his wife. "You better not cry…"
The twins, with both matching smirks came on stage. " You better not pout…"
Ginny came out. " I'm telling you why…" She smiled at Blaise.
Ron came on stage. "Santa Claus is COMIN' to town…" Instead of it sounding soft, Ron's voice broke in the middle of it. Everyone looked at Ron, whose face was now burning. Ginny stifled a laugh at best; Fred and George laughed their asses off. It didn't leave much to the inginmation on who did it.
"George! Fred! Did the spell off him!" Mrs. Weasley yelled at them as Fred mumbled the counter spell. They once again started again and went alright without any mistakes.
"…..You better not pout, I'm telling you why!"
" Draco..."
" Hmmm..." Hermione looked around.
"Where's your mum?" Draco then looked at Hermione.
"I don't know...ha! There she is.." Draco looked towards the bar, seeing his mother sitting there with a sour look on her face.
"I don't think she's enjoying herself, Draco." Hermione stared at his mum.
"Don't worry, she's just trying to bring us down." Draco then turned to the stage, enjoying Weasley's ( Ron mostly ) embrassment on stage.
"I hope your right." Hermione said turning her ateention back to the stage.
"Santa Claus is coming to town!" All of the Weasleys finished the song and everyone clapped. The announcer then came on.He was short, black, and had slightly graying hair. He was dressed as Santa Claus.
"Well that was the Weasleys with the classic; Santa Claus is coming to town. Which he should be doing tonight….Now I would like to present…."
"Did we do alright?" Ginny ran up to Hermione, her face lit up.
Hermione nodded. "Yeah, you guys did."
"So…are you guys gonna sing?" Ginny asked as she fitted herself into the already crowed table.
"Maybe…." Natalie added.
" I don't think I will…" Narcissa aparently came back to the table. But seeing her former emenies at the table, she decided to stay at the bar. I need some fire whiskey.
"Well, how about you, grandmere?" Hermione asked, but she was answered by the stillness and quietness in the pub...and her's grandmere's voice.
" Have yourzelf a merry little chriztmaz, let your heart be light, from now on, our trouvlez will be out of vightz. Have yourzelf a merry little chriztmas, make the yule-tide gay, from now on, our trouvles will be milez away."
Hermione turned to her mother, who had tears glittering in her brown eyes. Grandmere, on stage, also had tears in her eyes.
" Here we 're az in olden dayz, happy golden dayz of 'ore. Faithful friends, who are dear to uz, gather near to uz once more. Through the yearz we all will be together. If the fatez allow. Hang a zhining star upon the hightr bough. And have yourzelf a merry little chriztmas now."
"Well, that was quite the performance by Rebecca DuMaurier and now let's light up the room with Rockin' around the Christmas tree by Jessica Norton."
Grandmere back to the table. "Grandmere….wow. That was….amazing." Hermione said as Grandmere went to sit down.
" Oh thankz you 'Mione. Yez, yourz grandmere can zing. That's one of the thingz your grandpere enjoyed about me...But if you will excuze me, I thinkz I'd go to the ladiez room right now..." Grandmere then got up and went to the bathroom.
"Mum?" Hermione asked once her grandmere was out of sight.
"Yes." Natalie took her gaze from the stage to Hermione.
"Why was Grandmere crying?"
Natalie frowned for a moment. "Well Mione, it was grandpere's favorite Christmas Song. We use to sing it every Christmas….you really don't remember because you were young; it was the first time she sang that song since Grandpere died."
"Oh…do you think I should check up on her?"
"No…..she just needs a few minutes."
"Okay."
"You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear, voices singing, 'Let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly.' Rockin around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday, everyone dancin' merrily, in the new old-fashioned way…"
"So, tell me. How did everything go with your family? My sources tell me….pretty bad." Blaise said and took another sip of his butterbeer.
"Something like that…you know I thought it was going to be good and everything. But it just started out in the worst way. My mum still hasn't warmed up to the idea of me marrying Hermione. Her dad now hates me….her Grandmere is giving me suggestive looks." Blaise looked at Draco and raised an eyebrow; Draco looked at him.
" Don't ask."
" I wasn't."
In the background, the annoucer was introducing the next act. " Ahhh...people now here is a special treat...we have the local choir..."
"I just don't know what to do, Blaise. But at least everyone is enjoying themselves..." Draco smiled to himself as he saw Natalie, John, Grandmere and Hermione along with the Weasleys sang with the songs. If it wasn't for Weasel, that would have been a perfect picture.
" I have the answer!"
"You do?" Draco looked over to Blaise.
"Get drunk off fire whiskey and hope for the best." Draco rolled his eyes.
"Thanks Blaise. Your words are always encouraging." Draco said sarcastically.
"Anytime, mate. Anytime."
"Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, throw cares away. Christmas is here (ding dong), bringing good cheer (ding dong), to young and old, meek and the bold. That is their song, with joyful ring all caroling. One seems to hear words of good cheer from everywhere. Christmas is here…."
"So, John…." Natalie said and smiled at him.
"Yes, honey."
"Are you having fun?" John looked at Natalie.
"What type of question is that, Nat? Of course I'm having fun…"
"Well, I was just thinking about the earlier 'incident.' I really don't think we should be mad at them…." John then turned to her.
"What do you mean, not be mad at them? I'm just disappionted..." Natalie rolled her eyes.
" Gaily they ring, while people sing, songs of good cheer, Christmas is here...Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas. Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas..." The choir sang on.
"Now what do you mean by disappionted?"
"I mean, they should have at least been more respnsible...and not do that!"
"Oh, and do you forget that you were once their age. Remember?"
"Yes, I do remember Natalie…"
"And we weren't the best of teenagers either. Our parents have caught us in a lot more situations.."
"I know but…"
"Times are different, right?" Natalie sighed. "You know, this is ironic, considering my father didn't even like you."
John looked at her in surprise. "What do you mean? Your father liked me…."
"He kinda of did….except unlike ma mere, he didn't insult you."
"Well doesn't this make me feel better…" John looked over to Hermione, who was talking with her friend, Ginny.
"All I'm saying is that; don't let this incident change your opinion of Draco...and if you don't like him. Don't be like ma mere…."
"Okay, fine. But I'm telling you…" Natalie kissed his cheek.
"You won't regret it. Since your daughter will be extremely happy."
Hermione looked at her parents kissing. Well I guess they made up…
"Everyone we have a special performance by….." The announcer looked at the paper. "Nymp-"Tonks then whispered the guy from behind the curtain.
"It's Tonks!"
"We have a performance by Tonks….dedicated to…Remus Lupin." Everyone then turned to Professor Lupin and he blushed, which made him seem younger, Hermione thought. He should do it more often..
The music started to play and Tonks was on stage, but not before she tripped "Oh great…" but then she got back up, fixed her hair with her hand and started to sing. "I was feeling done in. Couldn't wait….I'd only ever kissed before. I thought there's no use getting into heavy petting…it only leads to trouble and seat wetting." Tonks smiled seductively at Remus. "Now all I want to know is how to go. I've tasted blood and I want more (more, more, more!). I'll put up no resistance….I want to stay the distance..."
Natalie turned to John. "Oh! Remember this? It came out when we were in high school." Natalie then started to sing along.
Hermione looked at Ginny shocked. "Did you put Tonks up to this?" Ginny laughed.
"No way."
"Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a me…I wanna be dirty. Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me. Creature of the night….Then if anything grows while you pose; I'll oil you up and rub you down (down, down, down)." Remus, if possible, turned even more red.
"Who would have thought-" George looked at Tonks with a smirk.
"Tonks could have pulled-"Fred said as he looked at the stage.
"Off a song like-"
"That." The twins said in unison.
"You need a friendly hand…..and oh! I need action. Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch-a me I wanna be dirty. Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me, Creature of the night." Tonks then started to put her hands in her hair.
"Oh my…" Mrs. Weasley said looking at Tonks; she even started to blush.
"…..Oh! Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch-a MEEEEEEE…oh! I wanna be dirty Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me, creature of the night!" Tonks then finished the song andgot off the stage to clapping, cheers, and whistling coming from the men in the audience. Tonks ran right up to Lupin kissed him and received even more whistles.
"Oh, I guezz that zomeone is very happy." Grandmere said and clapped her hands.
"I'm guessing someone recently discovered themselves." Blaise said and took another shot of fire whiskey.
"Yeah, I'm guessing."
" So are you going to sing?"
" No."
" Why not?" Blaise asked.
" Because I don't want to!" Draco snapped back.
"Fine, be arsehole if you want...I really don't know what's wrong with you...but all I know is that I'm going to have myself a fun time tonight, and not have you complete about the situation your in."
"I'll tell you later. Plus, I just don't feel like singing." Blaise looked at Draco, but then past Draco and onto the stage. "I just hope Hermione is happy because I am-Blaise, you're not even paying attention to me!" Blaise seemed to be looking at the stage.
"From what I can see….Hermione isn't too sad." Draco then turned around. Hermione was on stage.
"I don't want a lot for Christmas. There is just one thing I need. I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree. I just want you formy own, more then you could ever know…Make my wish come true….All I want for Christmas is you…." Hermione smiled and pointed at Draco.
Hermione's stage fright in the beginning left her, once she started to sing more. " I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree. I don't need to hang my stocking there upon the fireplace. Santa Claus won't make me happy with a toy on Chritmas day. I just want you for my own, more then you could ever now. Make my come true……all I want for Christmas is you!"
Natalie and John and Grandmere looked to the stage, shocked that their shy daughter and granddaughter was on stage…singing a song.
" All the lights are shining so brightly everywhere. And the sound of children's laughter fills the air. And everyone is singing. I hear those sleigh bells ringing…." Everybody then got up and danced with anyone who was near.
" ….This is all I'm asking for. I just want to my baby standing right outside my door. Oh I just want him for my own more then you could ever know…make my wish come true…Baby, all I want for Christmas is….you!" Hermione rang out. Even though she didn't exactly a good job with the high note, everyone clapped and cheered. Hermione looked over to Ginny, who gave her two thumbs up.
"I would like to dedicate this to….." Hermione smiled and looked at Draco. Then she looked behind him. "Jack?"
A/N : Cliffhangers...how I love writing them. Anyway...hope you enjoy! Don't forget to read and review: D Okay the songs..." Santa Baby," " All I want for Christmas is you", " Have yourself a merry little christmas", " Carol of the bells," " Rockin around the christmas tree," " Santa Claus is comin' to town," " Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a me " ( from Rocky horror picture show ). I also hoped you guys enjoy the scenes where they're singing...I tried to have it realistic. So...at least I tried!
