Hermione wakes up to a loud  bang in the commons, 'The hell? Who would be up this early in the morning on Christmas.' She groggily sets her feet on the wood floor, and peaks out the door. She finds a platinum haired boy looking up at her, smirking. He walks up and hugs her around her petite waist. Her heart begins to pound, "Merry Christmas Draco." She giggles and looks over to the time.

"Can we do this... Later?" She says slightly pushing him away. He stares blankly at her, "Why?" He asks.

"I need to meet someone. It's important." She answers quickly and blushes. He eventually let's go and kisses her goodbye. "Be safe Hermione." He says walking out of the portrait.

Her breath was wavering and unsteady. She smiles and walks back into her dorm putting on her gloves and scarf.

On her way to the Forbidden Forest she can hear Luna laughing. 'Draco?' Hermione thought thinking that he was with her. She ran to the edge to see Luna alone with the Thestrils giggling at the foal.

Hermione walks down, "Hey! I was wondering if I can ride one of these to The Three Broomsticks? I need to meet someone and apparating is to dangerous at the moment." She says weakly.

"Sure." Luna says in her signature calm voice.

"Thanks." She straddles the beast and flies up and over the trees. The sun was shining an snow was coming down. A few minutes of flying she lands the Thestril on the ground and pats it on the muzzle.

Neville waited in the Three Broomsticks, twiddling his thumbs and sipping on some Butterbeer. He had come her ever since Hermione got the note a week ago. Then Hermione gracefully walks to the booth the note had said. She looked at me and smiled.

"Hey Neville," she sits and waves down the brunette waitress down.

"H-Hi" He stammers and looks at his Butterbeer.
