Nativity!

Hermione was absolutely floored, completely and utterly gobsmacked and more than a little emotional. She didn't really know what she had expected to happen but she knew with utter certainty that it hadn't been this.

The hall was small and quaint filled with row after row of plastic chairs on each sat a proud parent or relative. Two big evergreen trees flanked the worn stage on either side. Both dressed up with flashing lights, tinsel and baubles of all shapes and sizes.

Up on the stage a gaggle of 5 and 6 year old children sang their little hearts out, loud and off key but still adorable dressed as they were. The little girl playing Mary was furiously bashing the baby Jesus on the back as if trying to burp him, a wise man had lost his gift and one of the Shepherds was beginning to lose his tea towel.

It was so sweet, especially since Hermione knew the little angel that was her cousin but Hermione was surprised to find her boyfriend and self-proclaimed pureblood wizard Draco Malfoy staring at the little performance with awe.

When she had insisted he come to the performance because he was going to have to be sociable with her family at some point Draco had complained as if she were forcing him to saw off his own arm with a dinner knife. She had stood firm even as he grumbled all the way to their seats. The lights had dimmed, the stage had brightened and then they had started singing.

The transformation had been slow at first and Hermione had wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her but as the story continued she noticed Draco's continued look of awe and enjoyment and, close to the end she thought she saw a glimmer of tears.

As the curtain fell Draco stood with the rest of the parents, clapping furiously. Hermione followed slowly, gaping opening at him. He noticed her look and blushed, his pale skin flushing a shade of red to rival the Weasley blush.

"Shut up," he grumbled.
