C H R I S T M A S - Hermione's POV

"I'm reckless, treat it like a necklace
Take a different version, and I try it
On for size with everybody that I know
And will you, please, pick up the fucking phone?"

Two weeks since she had left school for the holidays and Draco hadn't answered the phone a single fucking time. She didn't understand why and wanted to question him, but she wasn't scheduled to go back yet. Unless she could convince her parents to send her back. She needed to go back. She missed Draco a whole lot more than she missed Blaise.

That night at dinner she brought up the idea, "Mom, dad... maybe I should go back to school. I have a lot of studying to do and you guys are busy with work. There's a train that leaves tomorrow at 3. I can have everything packed by then" she had told them.

They had agreed almost immediately. The next day, she was nervous to go back. After being dropped off at the train she waited for it to depart.

After waiting almost a full hour, the train began to move. Only 2 more hours until she was back at school. She kept to her compartment the entire train ride.

When there were only 15 minutes left, someone opened her compartment. She looked up and regretted seeing who it was.

She made herself as small as possible but it was too late, "All alone Granger? No boyfriend to protect you this time. What are you going to do about it?" he taunted.

"Please leave me alone Weasley" I answered back scared.

He sat close to me and twisted my arm. I cried out in pain as tears formed in my eyes.

"Stop! You're hurting me!" I cried.

He laughed and I felt a pop as more pain exploded in my arm, and felt as he twisted even more to cause more pain. I cried out even more until he finally let me go and left.

Just before closing the door he stopped and looked at me, "See how much easier it was without your boyfriend?"

I held my arm until we arrived and then walked as fast as I could to the Slytherin common room.

When I arrived it was empty, "Draco? Draco are you here? I need help!" I called out.

I heard clanging and a door opened. He walked out looking around until his eyes landed on me, "Hermione? What are you doing here? Are you okay? What happened?" he questioned.

My eyes took in his appearance, he looked like he hadn't slept in days. The dark circles under his eyes that had gone away were back.

He looked like hell, "First, you haven't answered my texts in forever. Second, I need help with my arm. I think Weasley might have broken something. Third, I missed you" I told him quickly.

His eyes scanned me and landed on my arm.

His entire expression changed, "He fucking touched you? Why were you alone? I thought you and Blaise were supposed to come back together? What the fuck happened?" he asked.

"I missed you, you idiot. I just said that! Plus, you weren't answering my calls or texts and I was getting mad" I explained, shrugging.

He sighed, "I'm sorry. I've been extremely sick and haven't had any energy. I missed you too 'Mi. Let's take you to Pomfrey so she can take a look at your arm," he told me as he grabbed me by my good arm and guided me gently.

Pomfrey informed us that I had a broken elbow and a dislocated shoulder. She put me in a cast for 3 months and a sling for 1 week.

Draco and I made our way back to the common room, hoping my trunk had finally been delivered to the building.

When we arrived we saw that trunk had indeed arrived and Draco dragged it to my room for me.

The rest of the holiday break was spent playing video games, reading, and playing chess.

By the end of the holiday, Draco and I could comfortably say we were best friends.
