Back at Hogwarts

Christmas

Monday, December 25, 2000

I woke up on Christma in a happy mood. Ginny was awake and getting ready to run downstairs. "Could you maybe wake me up next time?" I asked sitting up. "Sorry, 'Mione," Ginny said stopping and waiting for me. I got up and ran downstairs with her. "'Mione! Guess whos here!" Molly said as I got downstairs.

I saw a familiar platinum blonde. I was so happy I ran and hugged him. "I missed you!" I said after I gave him a kiss. "Its been a week!" He said. "Its been too long!" I said lovingly. He smiled. "Time to open presents!" Molly said as we all sat around the tree. First, everyone opened there presents from Molly and Arthur.

I opened a dark blue box with a red bow to reveal a homemade sweater. It was a lovely shade of blue with a red H on it. "Thanks, Molly!" I said happily. Draco got one too. He smiled. We next opened all of Charlie's gifts. I opened a dark green box to find a beautiful dragon necklace. "Charlie this is beautiful!" Ginny said as she had one just like it. "Yeah!" I said taking it out.

We next opened Bill and Fleur's gifts. It was a baby blue box with a perfect white bow on top. I saw that Bill and Fleur had given me an assortment of chocolates. We then moved on to Percy and Audrey's gifts.

Audrey was quite the beauty queen and had gotten Ginny, Pansy, Angelina, Fleur, and I make up. We all smiled. The George and Angelina had given us their gifts. I received a fashion pixie. These creatures live in your closet and can pick out clothes for you. "Okay, is someone trying to say something! Because I've mainly gotten clothes and beauty stuff!" I joked. Everyone laughed.

Pansy had given me a big black box. I opened it to see the dress I wanted so badly. "Pansy! Thank you!" I said hugging her. "Dont thank me! Thank Draco! He told me how much you wanted it!" She said smiling. "Thank you, Draco!" I said squeezing him. 

It was now our turn to hand out gifts. I passed Ginny, Ron, Harry, George, Angelina, and Draco long packages which contained a Lightning 2000 which was now the fastest broom in the world. I gave Audrey, Fleur, and Pansy 2 pairs of shoes each. I got Charlie, Bill, and Percy random things that they like. I happily sat down when Draco gave me another present.

It was a relatively small box. I opened it to see a pair of keys. I smiled. "Draco? Is this your way of asking me to move in with you?" I asked as the room went silent. He nodded his head. I smiled. "I'll move in with you Draco!" I said placing the box down and hugging him. He smiled and gave me a kiss. I was over the moon. I had been cuddling with Draco for the rest of the day.

"'Mione, do you want to move in now?" He asked me. "I would love too!" I said standing up and getting my things from Ginny's room. Draco had come with me. "We should go!" I said holding his hand. He nodded and apparated us to Malfoy Manor.

I entered and the atmosphere sent a shiver down my spine. Draco gripped my side tight. He knew I was scared. I had gotten a permanent scar I wore on my arm in this place. I walked in with Draco and saw Blaise, Astoria, and Theo. I smiled. I gave them a big hug even though my arm had started to hurt.

"What are you doing here?" Astoria asked. "Draco asked me to move in!" I said happily. "Speaking of! Draco said Blaise and I could live here while the baby is born!" Astoria said clutching her stomach. "That's great! Do you know the gender?" I asked sitting with her on the couch. She shook her head. 

pop! Bill and Fleur had apparated. "'Mione! I forgot to give you the invitation to our baby shower!" Fleur said smiling. I gasped. "Fleur! You're..." I said excitedly. "And you're the godmother!" Bill said happily. Tears of joy streamed down my face. "Its a girl, by ze way!" Fleur said. I squealed. "Thank you guys so much!" I said practically suffocating them. "Bye guys!"I said smiling. They apparated ut and I returned to Astoria.

"I was just about to ask you if you would come to our baby shower!" Astoria said beaming. "I wouldn't miss it for anything!" I said also beaming. Draco showed me upstairs. "There are 14 bedrooms. You can choose to room with me or Tori or you could have your own room." Draco said holding my waist. "Im going to room with you but Astoria and I better have a room for a closet!" I said holding him.

"Preach!" Astoria yelled from downstairs. I chuckled. "Fine! Let me show you to our room." He said continuing down the hall. He opened the door which led to a humongous silver room. At the wall, there was a green canopy bed with black curtains. I gasped. "It's beautiful!" I said smiling at the room.

He smiled. Draco walked closer to me and placed his hand on my cheek. I smiled and we had a long steamy kiss. I didn't want to ever pull away. "Draco, Hermione! Stop snogging and eat dinner!" Astoria yelled from the bottom. I smiled and walked down with Draco.

We ate Astorias delicious dinner and went back upstairs. We got changed and got into bed. "I love you Draco!" I said as he wrapped his arm around me. "I love you too Hermione!" Draco said placing a soft kiss on my forehead. I sighed and fell asleep in Dracos strong arms
