Chapter 25

Hermione squealed and hugged Ginny tightly rejoicing her best friend was back.

"Let's go get something to eat." Tonks said as they all started to head downstairs to the dining room.

"So the boys aren't back yet?" Ginny asked as they reached the dining room doors. Hermione shock her head and pulled Draco's robe tighter around her. They were all silent as they walked into the dining room and sat down.

"Hermione we found Krum." Tonks said looking up from her meal as Hermione just picked at her food. "He was dead." They all sat waiting for her to start crying but she never did.

"We're sorry." Pansy said patting her on her shoulder.

"I'm not." Hermione said looking up from her plate.

"What?!" Ginny said surprised at what Hermione had just said.

"I was the one that killed him." She said looking up into their shocked faces.

"But.." Lavender tried to get out but Hermione interrupted her.

"Don' feel bad for him! He was a death eater."

"He was?" Tonks exclaimed shocked.

"Yes, he was a horrible person." She said looking back down at her food. They all nodded and continued eating before heading up to their den.

"It's cold." Pansy said rubbing her arms with her hands trying to keep herself warm as she sat in their den.

"I'll go see why it is." Lavender said getting up from the couch and turning towards the door.

"RON!" Lavender screamed as she saw Ron, Blaise, and Charlie standing in the doorway smiling. She ran towards him and wrapped her arms around him tightly.

"Hi honey." Ron said hoarsely before kissing her. All the girls had ran over to their fiancees except for Hermione and Ginny, who stood by the fire smiling at the reunion. The boys turned towards Hermione and Ginny and looked sadly at them.

"Where are they?" Hermione asked afraid to hear the answer.

"Draco went back to find Harry." Charlie told Hermione.

"What happened to Harry?" Ginny asked.

"He went after Voldemort." Blaise told her.

"Why didn't you go with Draco?" Hermione asked looking up at them tears in her eyes.

"He told us not to."Ron said.

"Well you didn't have to listen."Ginny fumed.

"Draco told us to tell you he loves you." Charlie told Hermione who was now crying.

"Harry said the same." Blaise said calmly as they both walked past them to their separate rooms. Once Hermione reached her room she dropped down onto her bed and hugged Draco's pillow close to her and breathed in his scent longingly.

She woke up in the morning as the sun hit her face. She groaned and put her pillow over her head trying to block the blinding sunlight. She rolled over and put Draco's robe back on and looked over at her vanity .Her eyes were red and puffy from all the crying she did that night. She sighed and went to her bathroom and took a quick shower. She got dressed in some white low rise flare pants and a white angora turtleneck. She went over to the bay window and sat down looking over the snow covered grounds searching for any sign of Draco. She sighed and hugged a teddy bear Draco had gotten her.

"Happy Christmas Eve." Came Ginny's voice from outside her door.

"Come in Gin." Hermione kept looking out the window as Ginny came in and sat down beside her.

"How are you feeling?" Ginny said breaking the silence.

"Horrible, you?" She replied looking over at Ginny.

"Same." Ginny hugged Hermione tightly.

"I miss him so much."

"Me too Gin, me too." Hermione said as they rocked back and forth.

"Girls." They heard Narcissa's voice come from outside the door.

"Ya." Hermione answered wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Come down and eat."

"Ok we'll be right down."

"Do I look ok?" Ginny asked wiping her eyes.

"Yeah, me?" Hermione said smiling slightly.

"Of course."

"Well let's go." Hermione said grabbing Ginny's arm and leading her to the elevator. Hermione pushed the dining room button and it took off towards the dining room.

When they entered the dining room everyone turned to stare at them. The other girls were sitting at a table with their fiancees so they walked over to a small table by a window and sat down and ordered. Once they were done eating they went back up to the den and watched Pirates of the Carribean, but even the hot Orlando Bloom couldn't cheer them up. They stayed in the den all day watching different movies till they fell asleep.

"Happy Christmas!" Lavender and Pansy yelled walking into the den to wake up Hermione and Ginny.

"Wake up. Time to open presents." Pansy said shaking them both awake. Hermione sighed and pulled Draco's robe tightly around her and followed the girls downstairs to the ballroom.

Everyone was already waiting in the ballroom when they got downstairs. Hermione sat down in one of the chairs and smiled weakly at all of them. It was tradition to have the heads of the household open their presents first. Hermione soon had hers and Draco's presents passed towards her to open. She opened all of their presents to find clothes and things for around the house. There was two presents left so she opened one from their parents. It was a big framed picture of her and Draco to hang on the wall above their fireplace. In the picture they were sitting by a lake in each others arms smiling and waving. Hermione wiped away her tears and thanked her and Draco's parents before putting it up above the fireplace with a flick of her wand. She had only one present left and it was from Draco. She opened it carefully and found a white box with figures of Draco and herself chasing each other around the box in a field of flowers. On the front was a indent of two hearts side by side. Hermione then remembered the locket Draco had given her earlier that year. She gently took it off her neck and opened it placing it on the indents. The box opened slowly and inside was a mirror and a figure of Draco and Hermione dancing raised slowly out of the box. Then Hermione heard it the figures were dancing to the first slow song they had ever danced to. The Draco figure was whispering into the Hermione figure's ear and the figure giggled and leaned up to kiss him softly. This was a replication of the first time they danced. Hermione closed the box as tears flooded her eyes. She looked up and everyone was looking at her with tears in their eyes.

"Thank you everyone." Hermione managed to whisper as everyone else began to open their presents. Hermione got up quietly and went over to the window and looked out as the snow began to fall slowly onto the already snow covered ground. Imaged flashed through her head of Draco tackling her into the snow laughing and all of their friends were running around them throwing snowballs at each other. She smiled and place her hand on the window. Then images of Draco walking through the snow towards the manor with Harry beside him passed through her head. Ginny then came up beside her.

"You know its weird. I want him back so much I just imagined him and Harry walking across the grounds towards us, but I know its not true." Hermione said sighing and looking over at Ginny who had tears running down her face.

"Hermione, so do I." Ginny said softly.
