Hi all! Just a little pre-Christmas Dramione fun! Hope you enjoy it ^_^
Disclaimer: I don't own it… yet… maybe J.K will give it to me for Christmas?
Hermione Granger walked along the empty corridors humming carols quietly to herself. She loved Christmas and was over joyed when she discovered that the wizarding world celebrated it too. It had shocked her to find out that Jesus Christ had been a wizard though… then again so was the founder of Walt Disney as well as Shakespeare.
'So many people famous in the muggle world are wizards,' Hermione thought to herself, quickening her pace to the Great Hall. It was Christmas Eve and the feasts at Hogwarts seemed to become more extravagant every year. Grinning, Hermione played with the heart necklace as she walked down the stair case which lead to the hall.
Her parents had sent her two presents; one for Christmas day and one to be opened on its Eve. Even though the heart was crafted from gold, it could still bend so she didn't play with it for long. Sadly, her momentary lapse in concentration made her walk head first into someone who was just leaving the hall.
"Great one Granger. Can't you just stay out of other people's way?"
'Of all the people…'
Hermione looked up to see Draco Malfoy's annoyed face staring back at her. She was just about to retort when she noticed something on the ground. A broken, gold something that looked strangely familiar to her…
"Huh? What's wrong now, Granger? No snappy retort?"
Harry Potter and Ron Weasley stood to leave the Great Hall, worried expressions on their faces. It wasn't like Hermione to keep them waiting, especially on Christmas Eve, so naturally they started to panic when she was late. Opening the large doors, they paused just in time to see Draco knock Hermione over.
"Huh? What's wrong now, Granger? No snappy retort?"
They saw Hermione raise her head and were immediately angered by the tears in her eyes.
"How dare you! And after you broke my heart too!" Hermione said loudly, tears starting to fall.
Harry and Ron were gaping at the pair now. Hermione and Draco were going out? When did this happen?
"What the bloody hell are you on about, Granger? I did nothing of the sort!" Draco snapped back, his face heating up.
Hermione stood up and held something out to Draco.
"Yes you did and now I want you to mend it!"
"What the bloody hell is going on between you two!?!"
The pair turned to look at Ron, whose face was starting to match his hair, pointing at them accusingly.
"Hermione, why Malfoy, of all people?" Harry asked softly, staring at her hurt.
She couldn't help it; she laughed.
"You thought I was with that?" Hermione asked, pointing at Draco.
"What do you mean by 'with that'?" Draco asked, insulted, his face still tinged red.
"Well, you are a ferret…"
"Oh yeah? Can a ferret do this then?"
Before she had a chance to react, Draco had pulled her into a kiss, pulling back when they heard two loud thumps on the ground. Harry and Ron had both collapsed from shock. Draco shrugged, pointing his wand at the small golden heart, mending it instantly.
"There, I mended that heart of yours too."
Not as good as it could've been, but oh well. I hope you enjoyed it! You can tell me by reviewing! ^_^ Merry Christmas!
