Christmas was always a beautiful thing at Hogwarts. Large tree's decorated and placed around the great hall. The grounds coated in snow and the peace of most people going home. Hermione had woke him Fred and Lee up at the crack of dawn a smile on her face.

"Merry Christmas!" She said, going to take a seat on the free bed next to Lee's when she was grabbed by Lee and dragged onto his bed.

"Sleep" He cooed, wrapping his arms round her waist, her arms pushed into her waist so she couldn't fight her way out. Laughing Fred threw a pillow at Lee.

"Mate, it's christmas wake the hell up" He begrudgingly let Hermione go, who was then dragged onto Fred's bed, Sitting at the end whilst Fred started to unwrap his presents.

Fred and George pulled on there sweaters. As hermione made an excuse to leave. All three had tried to stop her.

"I need to go see Harry and ron!" she yelped hitting Fred as he lifted her up. Eventually they had let her leave.

At lunch they had sat down with Ron, Harry, Hermione and Percy. Who was wearing his badge proudly not noticing Fred had charmed it to say pin head. They all sat, laughing and generally enjoying Christmas. After the third helping of sticky toffee pudding Hermione had dragged Ron and Harry off.

"Dude this food is amazing" George moaned over another bite of pudding.

"What did you get Hermione this year ?" Fred asked, George swallowed his food before answering.

"A new quill, A notebook, some chocolate from honeydukes and a couple of books." he replied, making Fred and Lee smirk.

"How did you even afford that?" Fred asked laughing slightly

"I did some tutoring for the first years." Freds eyes buldged "what.. You know how confused they get and Ginny introduced me to some of her friends who needed a bit of help" Percy looked at George like he was about to explode with pride at his helping first years. "I just needed money" He mumbled.

"That's really sweet of you to do that for you're girlfriend" Lee cooed with a smirk.

"She's not my girlfriend" George snapped quickly

"but you want her to be. And she wants to be." Fred replied before shoving more food into his mouth.

"No I don't and no she doesn't were just friends" He insisted glaring at his twin. After a bit more teasing George had grumbled about going to the toilet and stormed off. Then quickly went to find Hermione. He found her near moaning myrtles toilet. "Granger!"she spun quickly, looking at him nerously

"George.. What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to give you your present" He said happily bounding over.

"i've already had your presents" She replied with a smile.

"You've had most of my presents. This is the real present, those where like the stocking presents" She looked shocked at that and he smiled. Holding out the present to her. Having kept it in his robe pocket all morning. She quickly unwrapped it and smiled up at him. "you're going to need it next year but knowing you you'll want to start on it as soon as classes end this year." He explained, looking down at the intermediate Transfiguration book.

"thank you George!. I feel like I should have got you more"

"nah. I loved them and wouldn't want more" Hermione had gotten him a multitude of things from Zonko's (he's guessing she gave fred the money and told him to buy George something like she had done to george) and a few things from the muggle world. Both him and fred has also received sugar free baked goods and cards from her parents.

"You want me to escort you back to the common room?"

"oh. Uh no. i'm going to the library"

"Want me to come ?" He asked with a smile

"no!" She yelped and George looked at her with a raised eyebrow "I mean you don't like the library and it's christmas and you should be spending time with your family" She said nervously. He wanted to ask why she didn't want him to follow her but seeing the look on her face. The nervous way she was trying to lie he didn't want to. Whatever it was was obviously important and if she wasn't telling him then she really didn't want to.

"Alright..See you later then" He mumbled with a small smile before walking back the way he came.

When Hermione, Ron and Harry didn't turn up after an hour he got nervous. Two hours later he was sitting fidgetting. When curfew came and they still weren't back George was feeling sick.

"They'll be fine Georgie." Fred mumbled. From his bed. George walked back down the the common room looking around for them but they weren't there, the common room was deserted. George ran back up to there room and grabbed the marauders map glaring down at it checking the dormrooms. Harry and Ron where now in there room. His eyes travelled to the girls dormitory. No one. George quickly started scanning the map before making a strangled noise as he looked to the hospital wing. On the bed next to Colin creevy was Hermione. He sprinted out of the dorm again ignoring Fred's confused shout, he didn't bother trying to sneak along to the hospital wing just ran full pelt. Feet slapping loudly against the stone floor as he did.

Finally he reached the hospital wing, throwing the doors open he barreled in. Only to stop when he saw Hermione, sitting up in bed. Covered in fur, talking to madame pomfrey. His mouth fell open.

"Granger?" He gasped walking towards her bed. Her eyes flicked to him and widened before she quickly tried to dive under the covers. That's when he saw the tail.

"Mr Weasley! What are you doing here?" Poppy yelled. Glaring at him.

"I uhh..thought..i was just, making sure she was okay" He replied staring at Hermione as she poked her head out of the blanket.

"She's fine now go back to your dormitory" She snapped and he glared at her walking towards the bed.

"I'm staying." She looked like she was about to tell him off when Hermione gave him an awkward smile and she rolled her eyes, stomping away. "what the hell happened?" He asked, allowing himself to laugh at her appearance.

"I uh..tried polyjuice potion. I accidentally got a cat hair" She mumbled embarrassed, making George let out another laugh.

"Sorry. Sorry" He gasped sitting down.

"I just..wasn't expecting.." He gestured to her and she rolled her eyes. They sat talking for a while, he tried not to laugh at her every time he looked at her. But come on. She had a tail! Eventually he was lying next to her on the bed as the laid making shadow puppets on the celling. Soon enough he was cuddling up to the her. Both of them almost asleep.

"Oh and granger" He mumbled. A small hum came back. "I love the tail" She gently slapped him and he let out a tired laugh before the both fell asleep.

Fred had thrown up from laughing so hard when George had explained her appearance to him the next morning.

The next few months where pretty boring in essence. George would go see Hermione every so often, his homework load had increased so unless he wanted to constantly be in detention he had to make time to do it. When she was back to normal there was the horrible valentines day fiasco. He'd gotten a few songs. Him and Fred laughing them off with everyone else. Harry had gotten a song, he guessed it was from Ginny. Being the nice brothers they where they had followed Harry round singing it making Ginny blush embarrassed. Then soon enough it was the next quidditch match. They all stood thrumming with energy ready to win when Mcgongall ran out canceling the match. He saw Harry and Ron walk off with Mcgongall and started looking round at the stands.

"where's Granger?" He asked grabbing Freds arm. Fred looked round at the stands and shrugged gently.

"Too many people, she'll be in the common room" Fred said with a smile. George still peered around "She didn't miss a game last year and hasn't missed one this year. You probably just can't see her. Now come on" He grabbed George's arm and dragged him off the pitch.

She wasn't in the common room. Fred and Lee had stopped him running to the hospital wing. Dragging him up to there dorm away from the people watching him wide eyed as he yelled at them tell them to let him the fuck go.

"GET OFF ME!" He screamed when they had him in the room. Fred looked like he was only just managing to not flip out himself.

"George calm down!" Lee screamed. It took the threat of them knocking him out for him to calm down enough to go downstairs whilst Mcgongall escorted Harry and Ron back in. When she left George waited a few minutes before running out the portrait hole. Only to run past Mcgongall at the end of the corridor.

"Mr Weasley what did I just say?!" She yelled as he ran past her "MR WEASLEY!" He ran into the hospital wing.

"Where is she?" He demanded. Dumbledore standing with Madame pomfrey and Snape. He spotted her. She was in the same bed as before, frozen and pale. George felt his heart stop as he walked towards her. Dumbledore took snape and the matron into the office. Basically ignoring George's appearance. George sat down next to her. Her eyes where still open, staring up at the celling, glazed over. Her bushy hair splayed across the pillow. He gently took one of her hands, rubbing his thumb across the back in small circles.

"Please move" He mumbled, watching her as she did nothing. After a few moments he started speaking, telling her about how the game was cancelled. He knew she probably couldn't hear and if she could she wouldn't really want to talk about Quidditch but he didn't like the silence. He didn't like the lack of smile on her face and shine in her eyes.

So i'm going to move onto book 3 in a few chapters. Anything you guys really want to see in book 3 tell me and i'll see if it fits in at all with what i have planned :P
