Running, Always Running- Hermione Granger is not a normal witch; she is not fully human even. Hermione or Anai as she used to be known is a transgenic made by Manticore, a government agency intent on building the perfect solider, a perfect weapon. Now Anai is looking for her love Zan, but what happens if he's already at Hogwarts? And what if Donald Lydecker has infiltrated Hogwarts? (Set in Seventh Year of Hogwarts!) Doesn't follow Order of Phoenix storyline onwards!

Taz- Thank you and yes you can write a re write just let me know when you put it up, if you like Dark Angel/ Harry Potter stories that are very in-depth I recommend Shadow000's 'Beneath the Surface', it is awesome.
Happy Christmas!
It's only short but I wanted to write a Christmas chapter.
Chapter 11
Hermione was currently shopping for Christmas.
Christmas was in two days so she wanted to buy a nice present for her fiancée.
They had decided to get married after the baby was born.
They were currently residing in London, they had planned to get to Seattle for the beginning of February, 'take it nice and slow Anai, Lydecker won't expect that' Zan had said.
She had already bought some baby things and some things for Zan but she was set on getting him some new shoes.
She sat down in a café having a coffee her purchases by her feet. She smiled, even though she had left her friends she was happy.
Zan had currently got a job as a cleaner at a restaurant. He didn't want money, he wanted food. Anai had a job as a waitress in a different restaurant she worked for money.
Zan worked during the day and Anai worked in the evening.
He also had a nasty little habit of coming to her work and simply sitting so he could keep an eye on her.
It did get a bit annoying but she knew he loved her.
She finished her coffee and collected her bags and walked out onto the street, the wind was cold and harsh so she pulled her coat around her more tightly.
She was walking past a shop and stopped when she saw a perfect pair of shoes, they were boots with lace up straps they reminded her of what they had in Manticore, and they needed to have shoes they could wear a lot so they could effectively fight Manticore.
She rushed inside and purchased a pair and as she had got all her presents gift wrapped she had the same done and put the receipt in her purse.
She walked to the house, before they had entered it it was a wreak but with some flicks of a wand it was looking brilliant again.
They had found an abandoned one story house and were residing in there. They decided that they would find a family that needed a nice house and give it to them once they left.
The living room was blue with a white sofa. It was very cosy, there was a TV and some other bits and pieces and a plant.
They had both charmed the paint work to stay bright and the dark blur carpet to stay clean and some blue curtains finished off the room.
The bathroom didn't need any new touches just some magic to get it cleaned up and working. Like the living room they charmed it so that the bath tub and toilet would never need cleaning.
They also charmed the hot tap to bring out hot water otherwise they wouldn't be able to get it. They also put some towels in there.
The larger of the two bedrooms they did the walls a deep orange and cleaned up the wooden bed and wooden floor.
They placed a deep red bed covers on the bed and the same colour curtain. Again this room was charmed to stay clean.
The second bedroom was done in green and the single bed, desk and chair was cleaned up.
They also put a plant in there. Again this room was charmed to stay clean.
In the cupboard by the bathroom they conjured some extra towels, blankets, bed sheets and pillows.
They also placed a small panel on the wall just outside. This panel was meant to be the house heating control panel.
They used magic to heat the house and made it susceptible to the panel, they could turn the heat on and off or down or up depending on times of the year.
The kitchen was just cleaned up and set to work properly like the bathroom. They also conjured some cutlery and other bits and pieces for the room. Again this room was charmed to stay clean.
Outside the house they had charmed the grass to not need to be cut but still be healthy and the driveway to be weed free.
Finally they charmed the house so that it wouldn't rot or anything like that and no rats or mice could get inside and as an extra under the bed in the largest room they placed a safe so that the family they chose would be able to keep there money safe.
And surprisingly this took a few hours with them taking 3 rooms each and working on the garden and extra bits together.
She opened the door and entered the house and smiled at the warmth, she walked into the living room and smiled.
Zan had put up a tree, underneath there was some presents.
She placed her gifts in the bedroom and walked into the kitchen. Zan was stood by the stove adding herbs to something that was in a pot. It smelled delicious.
She shrugged of her coat and placed it on a chair around the table.
She was wearing a red jumper that came up to the top of her neck and black trousers, her long hair was curled and fell around her face which was glowing with her good mood.
She wrapped her arms around Zan.
"Hi honey, what you making?" She asked.
"Making tea, I want you eating the right things since you are pregnant. We need you the fittest we can get you since Manticore is probably following us. And hello to you too." He answered.
"Nice, I'll be putting presents under the tree." She said and headed towards the bedroom and started writing gift tags for the presents.
Once done she walked into the living room and placed them under the tree. She glanced at the presents for her and picked one up.
She felt over it trying to decipher what it was.
Some clearing their throat caught her attention.
"Anai, no trying to find out what you got before Christmas." He smiled as he helped her up and led her towards the kitchen.
"Tea is ready." She smiled as he pulled her chair out and they ate a wonderfully prepared meal and talked about things that they looked forward to. Christmas, their baby's birth and their wedding.
Unknown to the couple outside snow gently started falling to the ground.

Christmas morning they woke at around about ten pulled the dressing gowns on and slippers and headed into the living room and sat down. Zan made them large mugs of hot chocolate and they cuddled up on the sofa talking and laughing.
Anai then gave him his presents and he gave her his.
Anai received some jewellery and a set of towels, his and hers were sewed onto them. She smiled and put them aside. She also received some clothes and a gun.
Zan loved the gifts that she bought him.
They cleaned up and went to get dressed. She laughed when she walked in and found Zan laid in bed wrapped in the duvet.
He opened a grey eye and smiled and held the duvet open for her to get in.
She smiled and climbed in and snuggled up against him as his arms locked around her.
"Merry Christmas Anai, I love you." He whispered.
"Merry Christmas Zan, I love you too." She whispered.
They both fell into a blissful sleep.

It wasn't very Christmassy but I tried my best.
Merry Christmas!
