Chapter 19

Harry, Emma, Luna and Hermione were sitting in the Head's common room when Draco and Blaise entered, wiping snow off of themselves. Blaise shivered. "I don't know why they insist on having Herbology in the middle of the freaking winter.

"It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have to walk across the grounds to get there" Draco replied. He went to sit on the arm of the chair Luna was sitting on . "I got this for you." He said, pulling out a flower from his robes.

Blaise came up behind Hermione on the couch. "I got you one too." Hermione smiled taking it from him, but she couldn't help but stare at Luna who was sniffing the flower from Draco. "Hey, there are already gifts under your tree!" Blaise cried out

Hermione nodded. "Those are the gifts I got you guys."

"You got me a gift too?" He asked in awe, smiling like a little child.

"Of course, I got all my friends gifts."

Blaise rushed towards the tree, immediately seeing a box with his name on it. He reached for it, but immediately pulled his arm bock as he felt electricity shock him. "Ow" he yelped

Malfoy smirked "She charmed them so none of us would try to figure out what's in them."

Blaise pouted, walking towards Hermione. "Can I have a hint? Pretty please!"

She shook her head in response. "Wait till Christmas! It's only a few days away.'

"It's six days away!" He whined. "Three days is a few, but six is forever. Tell me now, or else!"

Hermione raised an eyebrow. "Or else what?"

Blaise lunged for her, his finger wiggling at her sides. "Or else I'll tickle you until you tell me!"

Hermione squealed. "No...AAAHHH...please...stop" She cried in between fits of laughter.

"Tell me!"

"No!"

Draco glared at the two angrily, and cleared his throat. He reached for his wand when they didn't notice him. Seeing this, Harry stood from where he was sitting. "Alright you two, that's enough" He said as he pulled Blaise the collar of his robes, and pulled him off Hermione.

"You're just jealous, Potter." Blaise smirked

"Oh absolutely Zabini" He replied sarcastically, then he batted his eyelashes. "Why don't you ever flirt with me like that?"

Blaise's face contorted to mix of horror and disgust. "Because you're not a girl, and sorry but I don't think you'd make a pretty one either. I like my girls not hairy"

"I'm not hairy!" Harry said defensively. "But it's okay. I don't play in that sandbox either."

Christmas Eve...

The gang entered the Head's common room after a big Christmas Eve feast. "Oh I'm so full." Blaise groaned, clutching his stomach.

Draco rolled his eyes. "Then you shouldn't have had that fourth serving."

"But the food. It was so good." He gasped out. "It kept calling to me Eat me, eat me"

Hermione giggled, before taking Aria from Draco's arms. "Come on babygirl. It's time for you to go to bed."

"Herms, let Harry and I put her to bed." Emma said reaching for Aria. "Go relax. You've been taking care of her all day."

"You sure?"

"Yes! Now go read or something." Emma took Aria and headed to Hermione's room, with Harry in tow.

Hermione wondered what she should do, and she looked at Draco plop down on the couch. 'Reading sounds like a good idea' She thought. She wanted ti read on the couch, leaning against Draco, as he read over her shoulder, like they usually do during previous nights once Aria was asleep. 'Yeah I think I'll do just that'

She stood in front of the bookshelf, finally deciding on her favorite, Hogwarts A History, ninth edition. She sat on the couch next to Draco, and was about to lean on him, when he stood up, and went to stand behind the chair Luna was sitting on. "What are you reading?" he asked, looking over her shoulder.

Hermione watched him walk away, feeling dumbfounded. "This is the Quibbler!" Luna explained excitedly.

Blaise took the seat Draco previously occupied. "So Hermione, how about a hint on my Christmas present...Hermione? Hermione?" He called her name over and over, but she didn't respond.

She kept staring at Luna and Draco, as they looked through the Quibbler together. He had placed his hand on top of hers, guiding her finger to different parts of the page, which she would explain enthusiastically. Hermione abruptly stood up. "Excuse me" she mumbled before running out the portrait.

Hermione stood in the abandoned classroom, staring out the window. "Potter told me you'd be here." Draco said coming up behind her. She jumped slightly, but didn't turn around. "What's wrong?" He asked when she didn't say anything.

"Nothing" she croaked

He snorted. "You can't tell a lie, and we both know it."

"Just go away and leave me alone."

"No" He said firmly. I am not leaving you alone until you tell me what's wrong!"

"I'm fine"

"Stop it! No you're not."

"Yes I am!"

"No you're not!"

"Yes I am!"

"Hermione-"

She whirled around. "I'm jealous, okay!" She blurted out. "I'm jealous that you're suddenly all over Luna, and you don't seem to notice me anymore. I know I sound selfish, but I'm jealous and I have no absolute idea why!"

Draco looked at her for a second, before bursting out laughing. Hermione stared at him in shock, but soon shock was replaced by anger. "Draco, stop it!" she yelled, but he continued to laugh. She clenched her fist and punched him.

He abruptly stopped laughing and held his jaw, as he stared at her in shock. Suddenly he lunged at her, pinning against the wall. She shut her eyes tightly, waiting for the impact of his fist. She gasped as she suddenly felt his lips upon hers. Her arms automatically wrapped around him. Just as she was about to respond to his kiss, he pulled away. He placed a hand on her cheek. "That was part of the plan. Luna was in on it. You were supposed to be jealous."

"But why?" She whispered

"For the smartest witch at Hogwarts, you can be pretty clueless. I love you, and I needed to know of you felt the same way."

"You love me?"

"Yes, more than anything!"

Hermione kissed him on the lips. "I think I know why I was so jealous. I love you too, Draco Malfoy."

Harry, Emma, Luna and Blaise stood outside the classroom door, listening intently. "Yes!" they whispered, giving each other high fives.

Luna pulled Blaise towards her, and gave him a peck on the lips. "I win, you owe me ten galleons."

Harry's head snapped towards Blaise. "Oh yeah, you owe me ten galleons too!"

Emma's eyes widened. "He made bets with you guys too? I win too, you also owe me ten galleons!"

Blaise cursed. "Damn Malfoy."

"Wait a minute!" Emma turned to her boyfriend. "Harry! I told you to stay with Aria!"

"I couldn't miss this!" He whined

She smacked him in the arm. "Now she's all alone!"

"Oh shit!"

"This is why I'm the godfather." Blaise smirked. "Go ahead Potter. We'll update you on what happens later." Suddenly they heard a loud moan come from the inside, immediately followed by another. "You know what? We'll just go with you." The four ran away as Draco's name was being yelled out.

It's not over yet! Maybe one or two more chapters and maybe an epilogue. REVIEW! PLEASE!
