A/N: So I decided to skip ahead to Christmas it has all the interesting stuff that's supposed to happen. I put in a few filler sentences on what happens during those months. But really it's nothing important.

They won their Quidditch game against Slytherin the score was 440-90.Well their classes have been going well the past three months. They learned lots of new material and concentrated on different areas. Ron got Ginny to apologize to Hermione with little meaning behind it. Hermione accepted it but still talked to Ginny briefly. Harry acted as a buffer between the two and kept Hermione happy so she didn't refer and retaliate back at Ginny. So it was basically all good.

"Harry you got all your stuff together?" Hermione asked while packing up.

"Yes but I don't understand why your packing all that stuff we're only going to be away for a week. I don't even have that much stuff."

"It's not really a lot. I need all of it and some of its my Christmas shopping so just get over it. You just hardly did any shopping that's it."

"No I just got what I needed and everything else I'm going to get needs to be gotten at the other end because it would be inappropriate."

"What would be inappropriate?"

"I could tell you that if you wanted your present ruined. Or for me to reconsider something I know you'll like."

"Fine…You ready?"

"Yeah you got the rings."

"Right here." Hermione said holding up her duffel bags. "Come on Crookshanks we got to go home."

"That reminds me we need to go pick up Hedwig."

"Let's go and say goodbye to Ron first."

Hermione walked down the stairs with her bags and Harry with his behind her.

"Ron." Hermione yelled across the common room.

"Yeah, you guys heading out I see. Where you headed?"

"Off to Grimmauld drop our stuff off. Then to drop by our…I mean my parents house to visit."

"Well I guess I'll see you there we're heading over to Grimmauld Place too for Christmas. The whole Weasley family is going to be there maybe except Percy. He's still not talking to us. Then Bill and Charlie might come too but everyone else will definitely be there."

"Oh hell no." Hermione whispered.

"What'd you just say?" Ron asked.

"Oh hell yes." Hermione lied plastering a grin on her face. "It's going to be the best Christmas ever at Grimmauld. I can't wait."

"We have to go get Crookshanks so can we meet you at the train."

"Yeah sure."

Harry and Hermione went towards the direction of the Owlery. Hermione continued with her intended conversation.

"Oh hell no. I love the Weasleys but I wanted to spend a nice peaceful Christmas alone with you."

"Well I did too but now we can't so whatever it's alright."

"No it's not we have to share the place with them….you think we can kick them out?"

"Mione, no and don't even think about it. It's really rude if you think about it."

"Okay so it's mean and I shouldn't have even thought of doing that to them after they've been so nice to us but just imagine….seven days of nothing but me and you….me and you….me and you….no one else…but ourselves…oh yeah and we are supposed to research that whole horcrux textbook that I needed to look into. No privacy at all."

"When you put it that way…we still can't kick them out…but we can escape to somewhere…the salvation known as your parents house."

"Hey, you are smart."

They picked up Hedwig and put her in her cage and carried her towards the exit which led to the Hogwarts Express.

"There you two are we were waiting forever. The train is about to leave in a minute."

With that they hopped on the train. It was a little more than a six hour train ride. They met up with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.

"Hey kids how are you? Where's Ginny?"

"I think she's behind us." Hermione said looking over her shoulder and sure enough she was walking over while talking to Luna.

"Hey mum, hey dad, I heard Ron say we're not going over to the Burrow. So where are we going?"

"We're going to Grimmauld Place. It's much safer now."

"We're going over to that dump."

"Grimmauld Place. Is not a dump. It's very nice actually." Harry said. "I'd also appreciate it if you don't insult my home."

"Sorry."

They took ministry cars over to the Burrow. From there they flooed to Grimmauld Place. When they arrived everyone was in awe except for Hermione, Harry, Mr.& Mrs. Weasley. They all went in search of rooms and when no one was looking Hermione and Harry slipped into their old room.

"Okay now for unpacking."

They finished all their unpacking and by that time they had fallen asleep. When they woke up everyone was already downstairs and getting ready to eat. Hermione walked downstairs first.

"Hey Hermione, Harry had a nice sleep." Mrs.Weasley asked.

"Yes it was very nice thank you."

"Hey Herms." Fred said.

"For the last time stop calling me that." Hermione snapped.

"Sorry he forgot." George said.

Harry sat down next Fred and George and started having a conversation about Quidditch

"So what are we having for dinner." Hermione asked.

"Nothing until mum figures out how to work the muggle stove. For some reason it won't let her cook anything magically. It's quite funny actually…you know watching her try."

Hermione did a double take and watched Mrs. Weasley try to cook on the stove. For the first time it looked like she had difficulty with it.

"Mrs. Weasley would you like me to help you?" Hermione said walking over and leaning on the countertop resting her elbows peering into the pot she had on the stove. She took the spoon out of her hands and took the lid of another pot and stired it picking up a spoonful and letting it run off. Looking at it, it was brown and thick with bits of various unidentifiable items in it.

"Is this mud?" Hermione asked sniffing it and not bothering to dare herself to taste it afraid of catching something but not voicing her opinions not wanting to insult Mrs.Weasley.

"Um…it was supposed to be some type of stew."

"Well scratch that I'll make some pigeon peas and rice, fried fish, and some type of salad."

"Okay that's fine. Do you need me to do anything?"

"Nope just relax…Harry!" Hermione shouted.

"Yes, what happened."

"Can you help me in the kitchen?"

"Sure what do you need?"

"I need for you to help me cook."

"What do you need for me to help you with?"

"Getting it done in the next…45 minutes." Hermione asked. "So we have food in the refridgerator that has a self preservation charm on it so we know its still good. I was planning the pidgeon peas and rice, fish, and salad."

"Why exactly would you say your going to cook something if you don't know how to cook."

"Yes…I do I know how to make everything. Your just better than me at it and I need to make it large enough for 8 people plus."

"So let's get started." Hermione threw out the mud mixture into the garbage can and started it over into the pidgeon peas and rice. Harry on the other side was frying stuff and trying not to get popped by it. In forty minutes the entire meal was ready they even managed to throw dessert into it too. It was apple pie. Mrs. Weasley insisted that since they did all that work so she was going to set the table. They all sat down after she called down Ginny and Ron.

"Wow this is good." Ron said taking what you would call his fifth portion.

"Thank you." Hermione said.

They ate the rest of their food and shortly after they went to bed and that's when they all decided to head to bed early. They got ready for bed and Harry and Hermione snuck back into their room.

"I vote we spend tomorrow at my parents house."

"I sincerely agree."

Hermione rolled over on top of Harry and kissed him. Harry shocked at first kissed her back and flipped them over. Harry was on top now as Hermione deepened the kiss running her fingers in circles along his spinal column. He moved over towards her neck and left a trail of kisses from her collar bone to her jaw bone as she hooked her foot around his torso. She still reached down to tug at the elastic of his boxers however that was the moment in which they were interrupted by a scream. They reluctantly broke apart to look at the open door to their bedroom and a shriek and worse who was standing in the doorway getting ready to scream at them.

A/N: So do you think they are really busted? Who do you think is in the doorway? What do you think is going to happen next? I have to say that the next chapter is secret revealing but not to the whole school so there's a lot more I still have to write
