I got the idea for this from watching the Olympics Figure Skating, enjoy!

Draco Malfoy grabbed his skates from his trunk, his heavy cloak from the chair in the dorm he shared with the other seventh year Slytherin boys, and headed outside to the Hogwarts Lake. He walked through the empty halls, past the Great Hall and out the front doors.
He was bored; he had finished the homework his teachers had assigned over the break, and he had studied so much that he doubted if even Hermione Granger, wherever she had gone for her break, had studied as much as him. So since he had absolutely nothing else to do, he figured he would give some use to the Hogwarts lake.
Draco had always loved to skate, ever since he learned how to when he was seven. His father, Luscius Malfoy, had required that Draco learn many abilities before he started Hogwarts, just to make sure that his son was ahead of everyone else in anything he did, and ice skating had been one of them.
'Not that it worked' thought Draco to himself. No matter what he did, however long he studied, how good of notes he took, or how many times he rechecked his assignment, Hermione Granger always managed to somehow get better grades than him in all of their mutual classes, and it infuriated him, while forcing him to have a grudging respect for her at the same time.
Even without his father's high expectations of him, Draco had his own goals for himself that he would not let him fail at. And losing to Hermione Granger at every single test since first year was not acceptable, either for him or his father.
Once he got outside, Draco trudged through the snow trying to reach the lake. It was winter at Hogwarts, and most people had decided to go home for the holidays. There were only a few who had chosen to stay behind, including himself as the only Slytherin, a few Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs, and he hadn't seen any Gryffindors yet, so he was sure that none of them had chosen to stay behind.
As Draco arrived at the lake he sat down on a nearby rock, laced up his skates and got on the frozen lake.
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around…
Draco heard a beautiful, sad voice singing, but he couldn't tell where it was coming from. He was looking around until finally he spotted a girl on the other side of the lake skating slowly around by herself. He was drawn to the girl, like a magnet drawn to its opposite, though he didn't know who she was.
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride…
As Draco got closer to the girl, he noticed that she had wavy, chestnut brown hair and it appeared that she had a slim figure from what he could tell, for she was wearing a form fitting outfit, but it was not so tight that he could see every feature of her body, and he was rather glad, after seeing Pantsy dress like a whore all year and having her try to seduce him by "accidentally" dropping her books right in front of him in the hall and bending down to pick them up in her ultra-low cut shirts. He had decided that some things are better off left to the imagination.
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
As the mysterious girl finished her song, she did a spin, then went into a sit spin, then came back up again. Obviously, whoever it was, this wasn't her first time skating.
"Did you have a bad day?" Draco softly asked the girl, not wanting to startle her. For some reason, even though he had no idea who this girl was, he felt concern for her; he didn't want her to be upset.
The girl jumped, despite Draco's attempt to keep from scaring her. She turned around to see who it was that had spoken to her and stopped right where she was.
'Oh my god.' Thought Draco, panicked. 'It's her, what is she doing here?' Draco's heart rate sped up.
Hermione Granger had just come outside to get some fresh air. She was the only Gryffindor staying at Hogwarts over the holidays, and it got rather boring being cooped up in Gryffindor Tower all day, even though it was her choice to stay here by herself, she figured it would give her plenty of time to study for the upcoming N.E.W.T.s, but she didn't want to study all of her waking hours, so she decided today that she would practice her skating skills.
"Wh-what are you doing out here, Malfoy?" asked Hermione, who tried to hide her nervousness, but didn't succeed because she could hear her voice shake slightly. Apparently so could Draco, because he smirked at her.
"Why so nervous Hermione?" he questioned. He was no better however, for his heart was hammering in his chest, he hoped she couldn't hear it. Draco was just as surprised as her that he had used her first name, but somehow, it seemed more natural than calling her 'Granger'. "You never answered my question, by the way."
"Maybe a little bit," She said, ignoring that shallow breath she got whenever she was around him. "But I'm feeling better now that I'm out on the ice and I'd appreciate it if you didn't ruin it for me."
"Well rest assured I have no intention of doing anything of the sort. I too came out here to relax, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't ruin it for me."
"I think I can manage that" replied Hermione teasingly. She started skating again in a figure eight around Draco. He responded by skating zigzag in front and behind her, turning super sharp, right next to her. Then they moved to opposite sides of the lake, and then moved towards the middle, doing the exact same moves, as if they were mirror images of each other.
Hermione then did a double toe loop and made a circle around the edge of the lake while in the middle Draco was spinning like Hermione had done earlier. Then the two met up at the side, still moving, Draco skating backwards in front of Hermione with his hands on her waist. In a quick move that you would've missed if you had blinked, Draco lifted Hermione off the ice above his head and held her there with one hand on her side while still skating backwards, towards the middle of the lake.
Draco set her down again, gently, barely making a sound with their skates. Next Draco and Hermione skated around side by side, about two arms lengths apart, doing twizzles and some fancy footwork, completely in sync. Then they each did side by side triple axles, and met again in the middle for one last lift by Draco, spinning and moving forward with Hermione laying horizontal above him.
Once again Draco set Hermione on the ice swiftly and soundly, spinning in the center of the ice with his arms around her waist, and hers wrapped around his shoulders.
Draco and Hermione stopped spinning; both closed their eyes, breathing heavily.
"Wow" panted Hermione. "You're a really good skater."
"As are you" said Draco between taking breaths, returning the compliment.
Draco opened his eyes. He saw that Hermione still had hers closed, and that she hadn't yet moved from his arms. He decided to take this opportunity to finally do what he had wanted to do since sixth year.
Hermione, still breathing hard, kept her eyes closed, reveling in Draco's warm embrace, clutching his shirt to keep him close to her. Suddenly, she felt something warm, and soft on her lips, and she realized that he was kissing her!
'Oh my god. I can't believe Draco Malfoy is actually kissing me! me, Hermione Granger! Muggle-born who he used to despise!' Hermione was so caught up in her thoughts that it took her a minute to respond to his kiss.
Hermione started kissing him deeper, she moved her hands up to tangle themselves in his white-gold hair as he tightened his grip on her waist, pulling her closer as if never wanting to let her go. He ran his tongue along her bottom lip, requesting entrance; it was granted. Hermione parted her lips to let Draco's tongue explore her mouth, and when their tongues met they got in to a fierce battle, both trying to gain dominance over the other. Draco ran his fingers through her hair, making her untamable hair even more unruly.
After a few minutes they both were in desperate need of air for their lungs, so they parted, resting their foreheads together, breathing heavily.
'Well,'thought Draco 'I guess I won't be bored for the rest of the holiday'
