Hermione woke up and looked around her Gryffindor themed room. She looked at her clock and it showed that it was 10:04am. She got up and got dressed in a pink vest top with a grey jumper over it with her blue jeans and white flat shoes. She looked at the flask. She didn't know if Draco was up yet so she went downstairs to see if he was awake. When she walked down the stairs she stopped on the last step and she had to blink multiple times. The common room had been decorated for Christmas. There was a white Christmas tree with red, gold, green and silver baubles. Hermione could see tinsel and mistletoe all around the room and on the tree. On the top of the tree instead of an angel or a star there was the Hogwarts emblem on the top instead. Draco walked down the stairs and stopped on the step above Hermione. (Draco was wearing a white top with dark blue jeans and black shoes.)

"Whats happened?"

"I don't know Draco you went bed after me I thought you would know."

"It is Christmas so that must be why."

"Probably."

Draco's eyes looked over the room. Hermione stepped down the last step and sat on the sofa. Draco did the same.

"You not hungry Hermione?"

"No not very."

"Why?"

"Draco I'm just not hungry and they always do a really big Christmas dinner here."

"Do they?"

"Yes...Wait you haven't ever stayed here for Christmas have you?"

"No I've always gone home because they had Death-Eater meetings the Christmas week."

"Are they bad?"

"Yes because they get a muggle to get tortured most of the time. I hate it."

Hermione got up and started going upstairs.

"Where you going?"

"I'll be down in a minute."

Hermione went up the remaining stairs and got the flask and went back down the stairs.

"What's that?"

"Your Christmas present."

Hermione sat next to Draco and handed him the flask.

"What is it?"

"It's to get rid of your dark-mark I know you hate seeing it so I made you a potion to get rid of it."

"How do I use it?"

"You drink it." Hermione voice drained as she said the sentence.

"Drink it? Whats in it?"

"You don't wanna know."

Draco untied the ribbon around the flask and undid the cork. He took a deep breath and took a long sip. Hermione watched amazed. When he swallowed he started coughing. Hermione looked up at him hopefully.

"What was in that drink Hermione?" Draco was started coughing again as he finished the sentence.

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes."

"Well it had 'heart of snake', 'tongue of frog', 'feather of hippogriff', 'horn of unicorn', 'leaches', 'fur of rabbit', 'wing of bat' and 'A pure red rose." Hermione recalled from memory.

"What? But that's horrible!"

"I didn't tell you because I thought you wouldn't drink it if you knew."

"You're right I wouldn't have."

Hermione looked down at Draco's arm and she could see the dark-mark acting funny. Draco looked too and they could see that it was disappearing. It was about 10 minutes later when it had properly gone and you couldn't tell he had been a Death-Eater. Draco half-smiled at Hermione.

"Thank you." Draco hugged Hermione and kissed her and held her for a while.

"Draco it's OK I was making it before we started dating."

"I feel bad I haven't got you a Christmas Present."

"Draco I don't really want anything for Christmas."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes Draco."

"Okay then but you know when we go on our first date on Friday night I'm going to spoil you."

Hermione giggled.

"Okay then but don't get to carried away!"

"What do you mean?" Draco said with a smirk.

"Draco you know what I mean."

"Do I?"

"Yes you do and I'm feeling a bit hungry now so I'm going to make toast."

Hermione went over to the kitchen Draco followed. He watched her when she was making toast.

"Do you want some?"

"Huh?"

"Do you want some toast?"

"Umm yeah OK."

Hermione made some for Draco too and gave him the plate with his toast on.

"Thank you."

Draco sat down and Hermione sat down too. Draco just went straight into eating his toast. Hermione was just now looking at him. They sat in silence just eating toast.

"Draco are you OK?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"You haven't said much."

"So."

"So you always speak."

"No Hermione that's you."

"You're so cheeky."

"I am a Slytherin."

"I'm going to see Ginny."

"Why can't you stay with me?"

"You can come but then she will know something is going on."

"No she wont I'm coming."

"Fine then come on."

Hermione washed the plates with magic then put them back. Draco and Hermione then left to go find Ginny.

Hermione and Draco went in the Great Hall which had been transformed too. It was the same as all the other years at Hogwarts. Hermione saw Ginny at the Gryffindor table opposite Harry. Hermione went to sit down next to Ginny and Draco sat next to Hermione. Harry looked at Draco and reached in his pocket to pull out a box covered in wrapping paper with a red bow. Harry handed the present to Ginny. Hermione looked at Ginny and so did Draco. Ginny unwrapped the present and opened the box. She immediately gasped. It was a round purple ring and it said "Will You Marry Me?" on the top of the box. Ginny did a girly giggle and threw her arms around Harry across the table.

"So I take that as a yes then?" Said Harry.

"Of course yes I wouldn't say no!"

Harry took the box out of Ginny's hand and put the ring on her marriage finger.

Hermione smiled at her best friend and started talking to her about her and Harry getting married. While Draco was just looking at Hermione. Blaise came out of no-where and sat next to Draco.

"What you sitting here for and why is Weasley so happy."

Harry started listening into Blaise and Draco's conversation.

"I'm sitting here because I wanted to sit with Hermione and Weasley's happy because she has just got engaged to Potter."

"What but I love her not Potter."

"Blaise you don't love her you like her and Potter clearly loves her and she loves him too."

"You're probably right because I tried to kiss her in a broom cupboard but she pushed me away saying that it would ruin her relationship with Potter."

"You tried to kiss her!" Harry beat Draco to a response.

"Yeah but she pushed me away."

Hermione and Ginny was listening to the conversation too now.

"Good job she pushed you away or I would be hitting harder than Hermione hit Draco in third year."

Hermione smiled and looked at Draco.

"You hit Draco in third year?" Said Blaise laughing to Hermione.

"Yes she did hit me punched me in the face to be precise and called me a 'Foul loathsome evil little cockroach'"

"Don't change the subject."

"Harry nothing happened end of please believe me." Said Ginny.

"Fine."

"Umm Draco I think we should go."

"Does the we include me?"

"No Zabini it doesn't."

Draco stood up with Hermione and left the Great hall.

Draco and Hermione was walking around the corridors watching the younger students get really excited about Christmas. Draco pulled Hermione to the left of the corridor.

"Draco what are you doing?"

"Now we're under mistletoe."

"So."

"Hermione people kiss under mistletoe."

"Blaise didn't think of this with Ginny did he?"

"I don't think he thinks at all."

Draco tilted his head and it was only a matter of seconds before he met Hermione's lips. Ron was walking down the corridor and saw Hermione and Draco kissing.

"How dare you!"

Hermione broke her and Draco's kiss and turned her head to see Ron standing there.

"How dare I what?"

"You know what!"

"No I don't."

"You snogging him!"

"I wasn't snogging him I was kissing him."

"You make it seem like it isn't a big deal."

"It isn't."

"You know what if I didn't know better I would say you were dating."

Hermione looked down at the floor and Draco looked up at the ceiling.

"You are aren't you, you're dating!"

Hermione and Draco stayed silent.

"Answer me!"

"OK fine me and Hermione are dating it isn't a big deal."

"It is a big deal!"

"How? People date each over I'm dating Hermione."

"Says the boy who has slept with most girls in the school."

"Says the boy who has snogged Lavender Brown while dating Hermione."

"That's it."

Ron smacked Draco across the face and Hermione had to pull Ron away before he hit Draco again.

"Ron, you are an idiot."

Draco was holding the right side of his face including his nose. Hermione went over to Draco.

"Lets go back to the common room." Draco nodded. Ron was standing there still with fury.

Draco sat down on the sofa and Hermione sat down next to him.

"Draco let me see."

Draco looked at Hermione's sweet eyes and slowly removed his hand.

"OK. Stay here."

Draco just cupped his hand under his nose so the blood didn't go everywhere.

Hermione got a bowl and filled it with cold water and got a cloth. She sat back down next to Draco and he removed his hand again. She got the cloth out of the cold water and dabbed it under Draco's nose. Draco kept wincing.

"Draco I'm sorry."

"It's OK I'm mainly wincing because the waters really cold."

Hermione smiled. When Hermione finished with Draco's nose bleed he only had a little bit of pink where he had been smacked.

"We should go to dinner."

"But Draco what if Ron has told people."

"Hermione I don't care if they know or not."

"OK."

Hermione and Draco sat down at what would have been the Slytherin table to eat the Christmas dinner. Blaise sat opposite Draco and Hermione.

"I can't believe you and Hermione are going out and you didn't tell me."

"Blaise that's because it was meant to be a secret."

"How did Weasel-bee find out then."

"Me and Hermione were standing under mistletoe so we kissed because it was mistletoe and Weasel-bee was there and said I bet you to are dating or something like that and we said yes so he has told the whole school."

"Wow."

Hermione was just eating her food.

"Go on kiss then Draco kiss her."

"Blaise no."

Draco put his arm on the table.

"Where's your Darkmark?"

"Well a special girl helped me get rid of it."

"Aww Hermione you're so sweet."

"Zabini were not on a first name basis."

"But we could be."

"No we couldn't."

"Can I come to your place later."

"Blaise it isn't a place it's a common room and dormitories."

"Can I still come."

Draco looked at Hermione and Hermione nodded.

"Fine."

Later in the Head boy and girls Common room.

Blaise and Draco was sat on the sofa while Hermione was sat on the chair near the fire legs crossed reading a book.

"Oh come on Granger sit next to Draco and cuddle."

"Zabini me and Draco have only been dating for 4 days."

"So you can still cuddle."

"Fine."

Hermione got up with her book and sat next to Draco. Draco put his arms around Hermione and Hermione snuggled up to him.

"See this is what couples do."

"Yeah when they have been dating for months."

"Shut up your ruining the moment Hermione."

Hermione stopped snuggling Draco kissed him on the lips then just sat reading her book.

"Awh."

"Blaise you sound like a girl."

"Shut up Draco."

Hours passed.

"I'm going bed boys."

"It's only because you finished the book."

"No it's because I'm tired."

Draco kissed her on the lips. Hermione got up and then went to her dormitory.

"Night Granger."

"Night Princess."

Hermione smiled when Draco called her Princess.

Hermione snuggled up in her bed and thought about everyone knowing about Her and Draco. She decided it didn't matter if people knew if she was dating Draco or not it was normal to date people. And it was time she moved on everyone knew about her and Ron so why not her and Draco. Plus Draco liked her more then Ron ever did. She fell to sleep smiling to herself.
