Chapter 19:

A/N: I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while, firstly it was sportvacation and I went to Italy to skiing and then school started with a lot of homework and then I lost the interest for a while but now I'm ready to write again. (Especially since FreakyElla told our English-teacher that we are writing fanfiction, so now I have to continue :P) . I hope you forgive me!

And thanks to you who reviews and to Sylviecake231, I'm happy you like my Swedish characters because the most of them I have based on my own friends and classmates! :D. For example me and FreakyElla. Guess who we are. We are both in this chapter! Yeay!

R&R!

25th December

Draco was just about to get into the shower before the annual Christmas ball that the Bonér apparently used to have. Just like his family! Gabryel really was the Swedish version of himself! The day before the 24th of December they had the, like the rest of Sweden, celebrated Christmas and given each other presents. Since Ellie had a little sister "Santa" came and gave them a few presents, and little Louise had been thrilled. It was hilarious that she actually believed in mugglestuff like "Santa". The presents were nothing special but he was glad that he'd got so many presents from his Swedish friends!

He showered quickly and put on his dress robe for the evening. He had, or more like it, Hermione had chosen a dark marine colored robe and to his surprise the color fitted him surprisingly well. But the insight that Hermione had realized that the color fitted him well flabbergasted him more!

The guests would come at 6.00 pm and a quarter before he went downstairs to ask if Mrs. Bonér wanted any help. He was after all a true gentleman! After asking her and getting a bouquet of lilies to carry into the ball room he saw Gabryel coming down the stairs with a very pleased expression on his face. Deciding to walk with Draco to the ball room Draco couldn't help himself asking why he was so satisfied.

"Remember two days ago when I told you that I was about to come up with my own spell?"

"Yes, I do, you locked yourself up in your room the whole day today. Making me spend the whole day with your lovely cousin." Draco said with sarcasm.

"And you had an amazing day!" Gabryel said with a smirk.

"Absolutely, so what's your point?"

"Oh, I almost forgot! Yes, my point is that all day I have worked on a little prank spell. Nothing to serious though, my parents would kill me if I did something too bad. So I've come up with a spell that produces a misteltoe, and the closest girl and boy underneath it magically starts to snog each other for a little while." Gabryel said with a leer.

"And who do you plan to use this little charm on?" Draco asked his Swedish friend while raising a brow.

"Oh, I don't know. The people I think should snog. My aunt Viorica could use a snog, maybe then she would get a little happier! Oh, there are the girls, lets' go to them!" Gabryel said excitedly as he saw Ellie and Hermione.

ooo

Hermione watched as Draco and Gabryel walked towards them. They both locked very handsome in their dress robes. She felt a little dizzy when she saw that Draco actually had followed her advice and put on his marine dress robe. She herself wore a ruby red dress robe that represented Fox or Gryffindor, she hadn't really decided yet.

The small group talked for 10 minutes before Mrs. Bonér and Mrs. Atterling arrived in the Ball-room to tell them that the first guests had arrived.

During the first half hour more than 100 people either apparated or travelled with floo-powder to the Bonér Manor. Many of their friends from the Institute were there like the Heads Vera and Ivorian, Joel, Phillemon, Tristan, Pauline and of course some of their Hogwarts friends like Dean, Parvati, Seamus and Blaise.

To show Ellie that Gabryel had changed his mind about her dating life Dean and Ellie were the first people he used his little spell on and you could see that Ellie literally glowed afterwards. Though, Hermione did not know if it was because of the kiss or because of her cousin's change of mind.

The evening went on with live music from an orchestra in the west corner that played both modern and classical dance music. To her surprise both Blaise and Joel asked her to dance and she couldn't help to wish that Draco would ask her. Harry and Ron always asked her to dance, so she had this urge to dance with him. She couldn't really describe it. It was exhausting to think about!

Although to her surprise, when the trombone player announced that this would be the last song for the evening Draco walked up to her.

"May I have this dance Hermione?" He asked politely.

"It would be a pleasure." She saw how Blaise and Gabryel watched the scene with big smirks on their faces.

When the orchestra started to play a slow song she felt Draco's hand on her waist she slowly put her hand on his shoulder and she suddenly got nervous. What if she stepped on his toes? He would think that she was inept, which she wasn't.

They danced slowly throughout the song and when the orchestra thanked the applauding crowd they saw Gabryel sneaking up behind one of the pillars in the room, pointing his wand at them.

"He wouldn't." She heard Draco say before she was lunged towards Draco and got involved in a deep kiss. A very, very deep kiss!

She felt Draco's hands once again grabbing her waist and she was thankful for that. Otherwise she would not been able to stand upright on her spaghetti legs. She found that the kiss was actually very nice and she was glad that Viktor had been more into kissing than talking so that she'd had some experience. Because Draco definitely had it! The kiss deepened even more before she felt the spell starting to lose its power.

Hermione took a step back, took a deep breath and locked up at Draco and found him watching her with a smirk on his face.

"You're a good kisser Granger!" His smirk grew when she blushed and then he turned around and walked towards the master of the spell with determined steps.

A/N: Hope you like it dear friends!
