Chapter 19:
Christmas
Few days before Christmas:
The book Draco had given Hermione was very useful. It had a potion to rid a Horcrux if it was in a living thing but it only be used on a full moon. The group had decided the next useful full moon would be on January 2nd, they would use the potion on Harry then. Hermione had already made it with the help of Draco.
In the book there was also an incantation to use to recognise a Horcrux. None of the items that the aurors had picked up had a Horcrux in them.
It was nearing Christmas, Hermione and Draco had been together since the middle of September, Draco didn't let his death eaters attack as much, his reasoning behind it was they weren't ready and they couldn't afford more death eaters to die. Voldermort had bought it.
Hermione and Draco had gone out a few times as Rick and Amy but most of their dates were either at the Manor or Hermione's apartment. She loved it. It was a week before Christmas and Hermione lay awake beside Draco. She looked at him while he slept. Peaceful. She smiled, his left hand moved out of the duvet. Hermione looked at his arm. It was the first time she had really looked at the dark mark on him. She wasn't repulsed by it, she just felt a bit weird and then felt bad. Afterall this was the price he was paying to save his mother.
"It won't hurt you," Draco's voice said.
"I…" Hermione stuttered.
"Its fine," Draco kissed her.
"Sorry," Hermione blushed.
"For what?" Draco asked getting up. "You can look at it, just don't touch it or it'll burn you."
"Burn me?" Hermione asked, she'd never heard that.
"Yea because your muggle born, no pure blood," Draco said apologetically.
"Oh," Hermione sat up and looked at the clock. "I'm going to be late!"
Draco smiled, "Everyone should be used to you being late."
"Yea over the last few months!" Hermione grinned.
"Listen, Hermione what you doing for Christmas, in the evening?" Draco asked.
"Um, I'm having lunch at the Weasley's but nothing in the evening, why?" Hermione asked.
"I wanna spend some of Christmas with you," Draco kissed her.
"Ok, I'll be here in the evening," Hermione smiled before apparating.
The next few days went fast, there were less attacks but more possible Horcrux's. All the leads were fake. Soon Christmas was here.

Christmas day:
Hermione spent the morning at the Weasley's. They were all there. Fred and George were with their wives Maria and Tina. Maria was married to Fred, Tina was her best friend and fell for George, both witches. Percy had married his childhood sweet heart Penelope Clearwater and she was pregnant. Fleur was also pregnant and her and Bill were here to. Charlie, his girlfriend Brianna and their child Mary, three years old were already here too. Ron nad Lavender had arrived hours ago. Harry and Ginny had arrived with Hermione. Ginny had still not told Harry about the baby.
"LUNCH! TABLE NOW!" Arthur announced, the tables were set up in the garden.
The whole clan sat around the table.
"I want presents!" Mary said at the table sitting next to her gran, Molly.
"After lunch darling," Brianna said to her from across the table.
"I want crackers!" Mary grinned.
"Here you go," Molly handed her one end and they pulled it. "YAY I WIN!"
Hermione and Ginny were both grinning.
"You sure you two want one of them?" Brianna asked Penelope and Fleur pointing to Mary.
"Yea we want a little Mary," Penelope smiled at Percy.
"She's adorable," Ginny smiled.
"When do you and Harry plan to start a family?" Hermione smirked.
Ginny smiled and kicked her under the table, "When we can."
"Hermione are you dating anyone at the moment?" Molly asked.
"No, I'm not," Hermione replied.
"Well I met this lady in the shops, she had a handsome boy with her. I'm meeting her and her son for lunch tomorrow, are you free?" Molly asked.
"I'm sorry I can't make it," Hermione said.
"Hermione dear, you have to date, life's short, you need to find someone, you deserve it," Molly said.
Hermione put her fork down, "Truth is Molly I like this guy…"
"What guy?" Ginny demanded. "Why have I not heard of him?"
"You have," Hermione said. "You remember that guy from the club?"
"Yea what about him, he went out of the country didn't he?" Ginny asked.
"Yea, he found out I was Hermione, well he's a wizard too, he lives in Spain," Hermione lied. Is any of this making sense?
"Really!" Ginny asked.
Hermione nodded. Apparently it does. "Yea well he owled me, for lunch while he's in the UK, so I am going to go out with him and we'll see where it goes from there."
"But Spain? Can you do the long distance thing?" Ginny asked.
"If I like him then I will," Hermione replied.
"Aww that is cute!" Fleur smiled. "Ooo," she grabbed her stomach, "Baby kicked, baby agrees with me!"
Hermione smiled. They finished lunch soon and entered the living room.
"Presents!" Mary squealed, she ran to the tree and opened all her presents before anyone else had opened their first.
Hermione received lots of clothes, books, tickets to concerts etc. She was happy with her gifts.
"Harry I have another gift for you," Ginny took a deep breathe. "I'm pregnant."
Harry was shocked, "I…I'm going to be a dad?"
Ginny nodded, everyone's eyes were on the couple.
Harry kissed her lightly, "Ginny, you've made me so happy."
Ginny hugged him, "I love you."
"I love you too," Harry smiled.
Hermione got up. She had to go it was nearing five and she had promised Draco she would meet him. She said goodbye to everyone and flooed to her own apartment. She then changed into a black dress and apparated to Malfoy Manor. She was just about to turn around when with a pop Draco appeared.
Hermione screamed.
Draco grinned, "Its only me!"
"DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!" Hermione shouted trying to calm her breathing.
"Merry Christmas to you too!" Draco smiled and kissed her.
"Merry Christmas," She whispered. "Where did you come from?"
"I spend Christmas with the Zabini's." he replied.
Hermione nodded. She took out a box from her hand and handed it to him, "Present."
He took it and opened it slowly. It was a long gold chain and on it a red stone.
"Its protection," Hermione explained. "If your ever hit with a spell that could kill you, it'll block it by exploding. It'll take the spell and then after that your not protected."
Draco kissed her, "Its lovely. Thank you."
"Are you sure you like it?" Hermione asked.
Draco nodded, "Can I ask you something?"
Hermione nodded.
"This could mean one of the aurors hit me and I live."
"I can't bear the thought of you not with me. I can't have you die on me!"
Draco hugged her, "Does Potter have one?"
"No," Hermione admitted. "It's the stone of Scarlet. She was a greek myth, apparently she fell in love with the enemy, to protect him from her family she made him this stone. There's only one but it works. Once your done with it, it'll reappear somewhere else around the world."
Draco put it on, "I love it."
"I want my present!" Hermione pouted.
Draco looked at the time, "You can have it after we come back."
"Where are we going?" Hermione asked.
"To the hospital, I want you to meet my mother," Draco said softly.
"Ok, but I should become Amy," Hermione said. Draco nodded. Hermione used the spell and turned into Amy.
Draco handed her a hooded cloak and held onto her hand as he apparated them to St. Martins. It was a dark and cold looking place form the outside. They walked in silently, everyone was alert and hooded. They walked up to the third floor and Draco opened the seventh door before taking his hood down.
Hermione took hers down as well. The room was very large, not like a hospital room. The room was painted green and the floors were wooden. There were lamps and sofas and another door led to the bedroom. There on a bed lay Narcissa Malfoy, anyone who looked at her would fall in love with her beauty. Her silvery blonde hair, her light eyes. Yet she was thin, tired looking, she looked ill. She turned to see who had opened her doors.
"Draco!" She ran up to her son and hugged her son tightly.
"Mum," he whispered. He fought his tears and pulled back. "Mum, this is Amy, my girlfriend."
Narcissa looked at Hermione and smiled, "Beautiful."
"Nice to meet you Mrs Malfoy," Hermione smiled.
"Mum I got you something," Draco handed her a box.
"For me!" Narcissa laughed and opened the box. It was a diamond bracelet. "I love jewellery!
"I know mum, I know," Draco hugged her. "I love you mum."
"Draco what's gotten into you, I love you too love," she smiled. For a second Draco thought he saw the old Narcissa emerging but the Narcissa in front of him started to giggle again. "You know I can't have visitors for long. I need rest."
"Ok mum," Draco got up.
"It was nice to meet you Hermione Granger," Narcissa smiled.
Hermione went pale.
"Mum its Amy," Draco corrected.
"NO, I know who she is, don't worry secrets safe!" She giggled again. She hugged them both and waved them goodbye. Hermione was still shocked when she put her hood up. Once they were out Draco apparated them home.
"She knows!" Hermione gasped. "What if she tells someone?"
"She won't, even if she does no one will believe her," Draco sighed. "You saw her today, it was a good day. Other times she's shouting screaming and throwing vases at me."
"Maybe she's getting better."
"For a moment I thought I saw the real her coming through," Draco sighed. "Then she giggles again and…"
Hermione hugged Draco, who kissed her back.
"I love you," Draco whispered, as they sat down on the sofa. Draco pulled Hermione onto his lap.
Hermione was shocked and then smiled, "I love you too."
Draco then pulled out a small black box from his pocket, he opened it. There was a white gold ring, (like a wedding band), in the box. It was on a white gold chain. "A promise ring. I promise to always love you. I'm giving you the ring because I want you to be just mine, no one else's and that's what this ring means. Our love."
"I love it," Hermione smiled putting it around her neck. "I love the ring and I love you."
Draco smiled, "Good."
He kissed her heatedly.
"Daisy made dinner," Draco said once he pulled away.
"I want dessert first," Hermione grinned.
Draco kissed her, "Your wish, my command."

A/N: Hey guys, I don't think this is one of my strong chapters, when I wrote this, like a week ago I was dealing with a bit of a block so it didn't turn out that good. Thank you for all the reviews! Keep them coming and I'll keep updating!
Oh and for those of you wondering why Draco doesn't become a spy for the Order, well lets think logically, he can't risk his mother for anything, the order wont be able to protect her because they cant get into the hospital unless Voldy dies, so that's why he's not a spy.
Any other questions, let me know!
Keep the reviews coming! I appreciate every one of them! Here's a preview for the next chapter:
Hermione was trying to stay calm. How could he? How could Draco…my Draco, how can he do this? How can he hurt so many? His mum…but this far…
