saving granger; a theomione

Chapter 23

"Open mine first!" Draco demanded.

"Over my dead body, she's my best friend," Ginny argued.

"Well, we kissed, so she opens mine first," Theodore joined in.

"I kissed her too, your argumentative position is irrelevant," the blonde boy dismissed with a wave of his hand.

"What!?" Ginny shrieked.

"I kissed her and she's my best friend so to hell with the lot of you," Harry scoffed, handing Hermione a small, red box.

"What!?" the Weasley girl screamed again.

"Am I the only one who hasn't kissed Granger?" Blaise mumbled from the sofa.

"Thank you, Harry," Hermione smiled sheepishly, gently pulling the box from his hand.

"Happy Christmas, Mione."

"Happy Christmas."

The group had returned to the common room just after Midnight, to get some sleep and exchange gifts.

Recap

Pansy looked around. There were Potter and Draco, snogging like no one was around, Blaise and Ginny, sucking each others faces off, even Hermione and Theodore, had their lips attached.

      "God I hate being the single friend," she muttered.

     "Don't worry Pansy you'll find someone who can tolerate you for the rest of their miserable life, you just haven't met them yet," Draco snickered, as he pulled away from Harry.

     "Ha ha, likely," the Slytherin girl scoffed.

     "No it's true, if Nott can do it, you can," he said, gesturing towards Theodore and Hermione who were leaning on each other, post-kiss.

     "You know he's got a point," Blaise interjected.

     "I can hear you bloody jerks you know," Theodore called to them, lifting his head to glare at his friends.

     "Yeah, we kn–"

     "Don't let Malfoy ruin this for me," Hermione whined, pulling Theo's face back towards her own.

     "Your wish is my com—"

     "Hey! That's my bloody sister you're about to snog there!" Harry shouted.

     "Harry..." Hermione whined again.

     "How do you think my brother felt all of that time?" Ginny scoffed.

     "Clearly extremely grossed out, kind of agitated."

     "That's it, moment ruined," Hermione groaned, as Theo buried his face in her neck.

     "Ugh, let's just go back," he sighed.

     "Sounds like a brilliant idea! Congratulations Theodore, that's what, like the first time this has ever happened?" Pansy exclaimed.

     "Don't be rude, just because you're jealous that I have someone to snog on Christmas and you don't."

     "Hey! No need to state the truth and make me look bad here," she defended,
throwing her hands up.
