A/N: This is an Hermione/Ginny little story so if you don't like then don't read it. Just a little something for the Christmas season told from Hermione's point of view.
Hermione and Ginny had been together for a week now and Hermione couldn't wipe the huge smile which had taken up residence upon her face. It seemed that everyone had noticed Hermione's change in mood as on more than one occasion, people were asking if she had taken a happiness potion.
Hermione just shrugged them off and said "There's nothing wrong with being in a good mood is there?"
No-body was aware of her relationship with Ginny as they had decided to keep it quiet for now while they got to know each other better in their new status as a couple. They would sneak glances at each other and sit a little closer when they were both around other people but they also snuck quick kisses when no-one was around and held hands under the table in the great hall.
Hermione was currently sat in the library reading whilst Ginny was playing Quidditch. There was no practice because they left for Christmas tomorrow and the next game wasn't until the second week back. Ginny tried to get out of it but Hermione told her to go, that way no-one would think that it was odd that Ginny was turning down a fun game of Quidditch in favour of sitting in the library.
Hermione was sat in her own little bubble of happiness, day dreaming about her feisty little red head when she felt someone walk up behind her and lean close to her ear.
"Hey beautiful are you thinking about me?" Ginny asked with a smirk
"Now what gave you that idea?" Hermione asked looking up at Ginny and smiling
Ginny looked around the library quickly before leaning in and kissing Hermione and then sitting in the chair beside her.
"So what are you reading?" Ginny asked as she slipped her hand under the table and into Hermione's hand.
Hermione looked down and squeezed Ginny's hand "It's just some light reading really to pass the time"
"Are you all packed for tomorrow?"
"Yeah finished it all up this morning, you?"
"I still have a few things to pack but that shouldn't take me too long to sort out"
"Ginny…" Hermione rolled her eyes
"What? I'll do it" Ginny muttered
"Well if you want me to I could help you finish?" Hermione lent closer to Ginny, looking up at her from beneath her lashes.
"Oh that's ok Mione…"
"Are you sure Gin? We would be on our own…no interruptions…"
"Well when you put it like that" Ginny stood from the table and practically dragged Hermione out of the library, Hermione followed willingly whilst chuckling at Ginny's eagerness.
They made it back to the common room with out seeing Harry, Ron or Luna and headed straight to the fifth year dorms, ignoring the few students that were mulling around.
"Ginny slow down!" Hermione was out of breath after almost running all the way to the common room.
Ginny entered the fifth year dorms and shut the door behind them.
"Now we can slow down" Ginny smirked
"Just shut up and kiss me before I hex you" Hermione demanded as she pushed Ginny up against the door and kissing her.
Ginny was more than willing to oblige as she surrendered to Hermione, after a few minutes Hermione broke away feeling the need to breath become an issue.
"So are we going to pack the rest of your stuff now or what?" Hermione asked whilst simultaneously straightening Ginny's collar.
"Pack?...hmmm you know what? I can think of something that I would much rather be doing right now then packing" Ginny smirked and licked her lips before descending on Hermione again and kissing her whilst moving over to her bed.
Once at the bed Ginny pushed Hermione gently on it without breaking the kiss and then started to trail kisses along Hermione's jaw and down her neck.
Hermione's breath hitched and she pulled Ginny back to her lips. After a couple of seconds, Ginny broke the kiss and, whilst trying to catch her breath, she moved to lie next to Hermione on the bed and put her arm around her pulling her closer.
Hermione snuggled into Ginny's side and sighed in content.
I can't believe how happy I am. I hope we can stay like this forever, just me and her in our own happy little bubble.
"This time tomorrow we will be at the Burrow" Muttered Ginny, sounding almost asleep.
"Yeah I can't wait" Hermione smiled, nuzzling Ginny's neck.
The next day everyone was hurrying on to the train and trying to find a compartment, Harry, Luna and Ron were walking up ahead searching for a place to sit whilst Hermione and Ginny trailed behind.
Ginny walked slightly behind Hermione with her hand placed on the other girls hip as they followed the others. Hermione smiled at this and itched to grab Ginny's hand and hold it within her own, but she new that she couldn't. She heard Harry call from further up "Hey I've found one, come on"
The others disappeared into the compartment and just as Hermione was about to follow, she felt herself being pulled back and she turned to have her lips captured by Ginny.
"Gin! What are you doing? Someone could have caught us" Hermione whispered whilst looking around them to make sure that no-one had seen anything.
"Relax Mione, no-one is around, I just wanted to kiss you before we have to endure hours of sitting as just friends in a cramped compartment"
Hermione softened at that and grasped Ginny's hands in hers, "it's ok, we just have to be a little more careful…any way we have three weeks together…sharing a room…I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities to have some time to our selves"
Ginny grinned and nodded "I suppose, come on the others will be waiting"
They entered the compartment and saw that Harry and Ron were in a discussion about the fact that Harry will have to spend a couple of days at the Dursley's. Hermione sat next to Ron and Ginny sat next to her.
"Hey Luna" Ginny greeted as she noticed that Luna was watching them and smiling.
Hermione thought this was a little unnerving and decided to join in the conversation.
"Don't worry Harry, I'm sure the days will fly by and you will soon be at the Burrow"
"Yeah I know, it's just a shame I couldn't be there right away. I can ignore the Dursley's for a couple of days" Harry spoke determinedly
"Yeah mate, then we can have fun at the Burrow" Ron added
"I'm really looking forward to Christmas this year!" Hermione exclaimed
The others looked at her incredulously,
"Since when?" Ron was confused because she had been very anti-Christmas up to this point.
Hermione looked at Ginny whilst replying nonchalantly "Oh you know…things change"
She looked back towards Ron "I think I've found my Christmas spirit"
Beside her Ginny grinned
"You're a bit mental Herm" Ron laughed and the others joined in.
I think this will be the best Christmas yet…
Well there you go, I hope you liked it. I have to say that after writing a multi-chapter fiction myself, I have a lot more respect for all you writers out there who' s stories inspired me to give it a go myself. I won't mention any individuals because I don't want to embarrass anyone.
Merry Christmas to you all!
