Author's Note: People have been asking me why Harry has been so mean to his friends. Harry has fallen in love with Hermione but instead of accepting Hermione, his friends have been telling him that he is making a mistake and that the Malfoys are going to turn Harry into a dark wizard. Harry keeps telling his friends that Hermione and her friends and family are different but they don't want to hear it.
The Gryffindors keep making fun of and insulting Harry's girlfriend and the other Slytherins. So Harry decides that he doesn't want to associate with his old friends until they quit being so negative with Hermione and her house. People say that he has changed but really he is only mean to people who have been mean to Hermione.
The only person who sees how much Harry cares for Hermione is Padma Patil. She sees that no one really knows Harry - not the Boy-Who-Lived, but the person under all that fame. The only person who really sees him is Hermione. Padma now understands why Harry has more in common with the Slytherins - they have dealt with the same problems that he has dealt with.
Hey thanks Jacy for beta the first part of the story.
Chapter 12 - Christmas Eve Party
The train came to a stop. Harry woke everybody up and they headed out of the compartment. They stepped out and Draco and Harry went to get a trolley and got their luggage. They heard someone from a distance yelling Harry's name.
They turned their heads and saw four redheads coming their way.
"YOU'RE DEAD POTTER!" the familiar red head yelled. Harry recognized him as George Weasley.
Harry and Draco moved Hermione and Blaise out of the way. George ran up to Harry and punched him in the face.
"HARRY!" Hermione screamed.
Draco punched George in the stomach. Harry got back up, wiped the blood on his nose and looked at George who was still on the floor. Harry started kicking him in the stomach. He stopped to see that the rest of the Weasley brothers were coming his way. Fred went to check if his brother was all right. Ron went up to Draco and took a swing. Draco looked at blood on his nose and looked at Ron.
"You're going to pay for that one," Draco said coldly.
"Go ahead, take your best shot," Ron said as he moved closer to Draco's face.
Draco kneed Ron in the stomach. Ron fell to the ground. Draco kicked him in his stomach as hard as he could. Draco then yelled to him, "Don't you ever touch me or my family again, and that includes Harry." Fred was about to go for Draco when Bill pulled him back.
"Hermione, Blaise, Draco let's get out of here," Harry said.
Bill turned to Harry and said, "I can't believe we ever considered you family."
"I never considered myself a part of your family anyway. Besides, why should I consider you as family when my family is right here," Harry said and looked one more time at Ron and shook his head in disgust. Harry took Hermione's hand and left.
As they walked toward platform 9 ¾, Hermione had asked, "What was that all about?"
"Who knows?" Harry shrugged but in his head he knew what it was all about.
*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*
They went through platform 9 ¾ and saw a tall brown haired women looking around. A big smile grew on her face when the four of them walked up to her.
"Why you must be Harry Potter," Mrs. Malfoy said as she looked at the young man in front of her.
"Yes I am. It's very nice to meet you," Harry said politely and stuck his hand out. She chuckled and shook her head. Mrs. Malfoy declined the handshake and instead gave him a welcoming hug and looked at him.
"My, Hermione was wrong about you. You are a lot more handsome then she described and such a gentleman," Mrs. Malfoy said. This made Harry blush furiously. He looked over at Hermione who was giggling briskly.
"Thank you again for letting me stay at your home over the winter break," Harry said gratefully.
"It's our pleasure. Besides, I was so anxious at meeting the love of Hermione's life," Mrs. Malfoy said smiling. She snapped her fingers and an old elf came to get their bags.
"Hello Mr. Malfoy, Miss. Malfoy, Miss. Zabini. Mr. Potter, it is an honor to meet you," The house elf said happily.
"Hello Edward," Hermione said with a warm smile.
"Harry, this is Edward. He has been serving my family since my mother was a little girl," Hermione explained.
"Nice to meet you," Harry said politely.
"Shall we?" Edward asked.
"Draco, Harry why are you bleeding?" Mrs. Malfoy asked in concern.
"Oh… Harry and I got into fight when we got off of the train."
"With who?" Mrs. Malfoy asked again.
"The Weasley brothers," Draco said disgusted.
"I swear, they all act like wild animals," Mrs. Malfoy said in disgust as well.
They got into the car and headed to the Leaky Cauldron. Harry was confused when they got there.
"Hermione, what are we doing here?" Harry asked
"Oh, we're going to use the fireplace here so we can Floo to the Manor."
Mrs. Malfoy went first.
"Malfoy Manor!" she shouted clearly.
As soon as everybody was at the Manor, Hermione dusted herself off and showed Harry around.
The house was huge. It had a gym, a ballroom, theater, indoor pool and outdoor pool, a café, a small casino, a small barroom, a library (Hermione's obviously), dance room, a smoking room, sitting room, and a huge kitchen with gourmet chefs. The hallways were filled with paintings, statues and pictures of every Malfoy that ever lived.
Hermione showed Harry Draco's room. It looked like an apartment. He had the hugest bed Harry had ever seen that took up most of the room. Draco had a pool table and to Harry's surprise, there was a big flat screen TV on the wall. To the side was a huge bookcase full of movies. The color of the room was no surprise - green and sliver, Slytherin colors. There was a stairwell on the side leading to another room. Hermione showed Harry to the room upstairs. It was a room of full of designer clothes. The stairwell didn't end there. It went up to a study room and in the next room was a huge loo with a shower and a Jacuzzi. They went back down and Hermione showed Harry her room.
Hermione's room was not green but white. Her bed was bigger than Draco's. It too took up most of the room. She had white couches in the room along with a big flat screen TV on the wall. She also had a bookshelf full of movies. At the end of the room was a loo. It was the same as Draco's. They went up the stairwell - she had three floors full of clothes and the last floor was a study. Harry couldn't believe at the amount of clothes she owned.
As they walked down the hallway Harry looked at Hermione.
"I never knew you had that many clothes," he chuckled.
"Well, you know I have to keep up the reputation of being the most stylish girl in school," she said with a conceited face. "Here's your room. It's not too far from my room." She smiled.
"That's very convenient, isn't it?" Harry chuckled and gave her a mischievous smile. She just rolled her eyes and opened the door.
The room looked like something out of a five star hotel. It had a king size bed with black silk comforter, a desk, a big flat screen TV, a balcony outside, his own loo, couches at the back of the room, a spacious closet and drawers. The colors of the room were black and sliver.
Harry jumped onto the bed and Hermione joined him. They fooled around a bit until Hermione got off of Harry and sat up on the bed.
"Harry I was planning on telling my mom about my pregnancy on Christmas Eve," Hermione said confidently.
"Okay, but I want to be there when you tell her okay?" Harry said sincerely before asking, "Hermione since you're pregnant does that mean we can't shag anymore?"
"Harry, we could still shag but only until I hit two months. Then I think that we should stop," she said as she brushed some of his hair away from his face. They were about to kiss when there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Hermione said in an irritated voice.
"It's me," Draco said.
"What do you want?" Hermione asked
"Mum wants to talk to you."
"I'll be right down," Hermione said and gave Harry a peck on the lips.
"Hermione, remember I want to be there when you tell her," Harry said as she headed for the door.
"I know."
She opened the door and headed to her mother's room.
**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*
"Mum you wanted to talk to me?" Hermione asked as she entered the room.
"Yes, close the door and come over here," Mrs. Malfoy ordered.
"What did you want to talk about?" Hermione asked as she rubbed her necklace.
"Oh my great gods Hermione! Where did you get that beautiful necklace?"
"Harry gave it to me," Hermione said proudly.
"Come here and let me see." Mrs. Malfoy was surprised at the amount of diamonds the necklace had.
"Hermione, this necklace is nothing but diamonds. How did he ever afford it?" Mrs. Malfoy asked.
"It's a family heirloom. They give it to the woman they love."
"Wow Hermione you better hang on to that one," Mrs. Malfoy said still in amazement of the necklace. "Did he also buy you that ring?"
"Yes. It has an engraving in it," Hermione said as she showed her mother her ring, "Harry and Hermione forever."
"Oh Hermione, I'm so glad that you found such a great man," Mrs. Malfoy said and gave her daughter a hug.
"So mom, what did you want to talk about?" Hermione asked.
"Right, I was going to ask you if you wanted to do some last minute Christmas shopping," Mrs. Malfoy said as she wiped her tears.
"Sure, I'd love too. Could Blaise come too?" Hermione asked.
"Absolutely! It will be the girls' day out," Mrs. Malfoy said happily. "Did you remember to tell Harry to pack a suit?"
"A suit? What for?"
"For our annual Malfoy Christmas Eve party, of course," Mrs. Malfoy said in shock.
"I totally forgot about that!" Hermione said as she slapped her head.
"I guess we are going to have to go shop for a new suit for Harry then," Mrs. Malfoy said as she rose from her bed.
~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~
The week went by so fast. Before they knew, it was Christmas Eve. Harry woke up earlier then usual. He thought he could get a quick workout before everybody was awake. He passed by Hermione's bedroom and heard her throwing up. He went to go check if she was all right. When he opened the door, he saw Hermione drag herself back to her bed. Harry quickly ran up to her and helped her onto bed. "Are you okay sweetheart?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Just a little morning sickness," she said with a weak smile.
"Is there anything I could get you?" he asked as he tucked her under the covers.
"Could you get me a glass? I need to take my medication." She said.
"Medication! For what?" Harry asked in concern.
"For my morning sickness. It helps me feel a lot better."
"Will it hurt the baby?" Harry asked
"No," Hermione said and she saw the look of relief that Harry had on his face.
"I'll be right back," he said and rushed out of the room. He bumped into Edward on the way to the kitchen.
"Sorry Edward," Harry said.
"Quite alright sir. Is there anything I could get you?" Edward asked.
"Yes, can you get me a glass and a hot towel?" Harry ordered.
"Right away sir," Edward said and he apparated out of the room. He soon returned with an empty glass and a hot towel on a tray.
"Here you are. Is there anything else I can get you?" Edward asked as he handed the tray to Harry.
"No not right now," Harry said and ran to Hermione's room.
"Wow, that was fast," she said with a warm smile.
"Here's your glass. I also got you a hot towel to help you relax," Harry said as he handed the empty glass to Hermione. Hermione sat up and poured in the potion into the glass and drank it. She laid her head back down and Harry placed the hot towel on her forehead. He gave her a peck on her lips.
"Feel better okay? I'll come and check on you soon." Harry gave her another kiss and then he leaned over to her stomach and gave it a kiss.
Harry shut Hermione's door gently and went to the gym. He worked out for a good three hours. Harry went to the sauna and took a quick break. He took a quick shower and went back up to his room in his towel. Thankfully everybody was still asleep. He got dressed and went to check on Hermione. He gently opened her door and found Hermione in a deep sleep. He went up to her and just watched her sleep.
Good Merlin. She is so beautiful, he thought to himself. He looked down to her stomach and smiled. We are going to have a baby. He laughed at the thought of a little Harry or Hermione running around. He took off the hot towel and placed it on her nightstand. He kissed her forehead and left.
Harry went back down stairs to see Draco already at the breakfast table.
"Hey Potter, what are you doing up so early?" Draco asked as he looked up from reading the Daily Prophet.
"I got an early workout. Why are you up so early?" Harry asked as he seated himself at the table.
"I did some laps around the pool," Draco said as he sipped his juice.
"Hey Draco, since the girls won't be up till noon, I was wondering if you would want to go shopping with me. I still need to get Blaise, your mom and Hermione a gift," Harry asked as he put butter on his toast.
"Sure, I need to get some gifts as well," Draco said as Edward filled up his cup.
They finished their breakfast and headed for Diagon Alley. When they got there, they were completely stumped. They didn't know what to buy. They first went to Gringott's to get some money. Harry got enough for decent gifts. They decided to go to the jewelry store.
"I think she'll like those," Draco said to the clerk. Harry was across the room looking for the perfect gift for Hermione, and also for the best engagement ring. He finally found what he was looking for.
"That one, I think she will love it," Harry said excitedly.
"Ah, that is one of our most popular," the salesclerk said as he got the necklace out of the glass case.
"It's perfected. Do you do engravings?" Harry asked.
"Yes we do. What would you like to engrave?"
"On the front side I would like Harry and Hermione and on the back for eternity, inside I love you and can you put this picture in it?"
"Of course. Can you come back in about thirty minutes?"
"Sure, no problem," Harry said happily. "Draco let's go to the Quidditch supply store."
"Coming mate," Draco said as he finished paying for his gift. Draco left first.
"Excuse me sir, will you take the ring as well?" the salesclerk asked.
"Yes," Harry answered back.
Draco and Harry went to the Quidditch Supply and bought a new broom care kit. Harry told Draco meet him at the ice cream parlor as he went back for the necklace.
Harry arrived at the jewelry store. The salesclerk gave him his necklace. Harry examined the necklace very closely, making sure everything was there.
"It's all there," Harry said pleased. "Do you have the ring?"
"Yes, it is right here and may I add it is a very good choice." The salesclerk winked at Harry. "The total will come out to be one thousand galleons."
"Here you are," Harry said as he handed the money to the clerk.
"Thank you for shopping at Samuel Diamonds," the salesclerk said politely.
Harry went back to Quidditch Supply to buy Draco a black leather broom cover with Draco engraved on it. He met up with Draco and bought the rest of their gifts. Harry also bought Edward a gift. They finished buying what they had to and headed to the Leaky Cauldron. Draco and Harry made their way to the fireplace around back.
"Malfoy Manor!" Harry shouted. Harry appeared in the living room still coughing from the dust. Draco soon followed and appeared as Harry was dusting himself off.
"We better put these gifts under the Christmas tree," Draco suggested. They put their gifts under the twenty seven foot tree in the sitting room.
"Where have you two been?" Hermione asked.
"Just around," Harry said as he headed toward her.
"Blaise is looking for you," Hermione directed at Draco.
"Do you know where she is?"
"I think still in the ballroom," Hermione said as she put her arms around Harry neck.
"Thanks," Draco said as he rushed toward the ballroom.
"Feeling better sweetheart?" Harry asked
"Much," Hermione said as she leaned in for a kiss. They snogged for a good five minutes until Mrs. Malfoy came in the room
"Get a room," Mrs. Malfoy said with a snicker. The young couple stopped kissing and looked at Mrs. Malfoy.
"Good afternoon Mrs. Malfoy," Harry said politely.
"Hello Harry," Mrs. Malfoy said with a smile, "I was wondering what you were planning on wearing this evening."
"I don't know," Harry said confused.
"If you don't mind then, Hermione and I bought you a new suit," Mrs. Malfoy said as she went to the tree. She got a large box and handed to Harry.
"Think of it as an early Christmas gift," Hermione said with a smile.
"Thank you," Harry said gratefully. He quickly opened the gift. Inside was a dark blue Armani suite.
"It's perfect," Harry said with a smile.
"I knew you would like it," Hermione said with a smile on her face as well.
"Why don't you go upstairs and try it on," Mrs. Malfoy said.
Harry ran upstairs. He couldn't wait to try it on. He got in his room and put on the suit. To no surprise, he looked very handsome. There was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Harry asked as he looked at himself in the mirror.
"It's me," Hermione said
"Come in."
"Wow, you look very sexy," Hermione said as she shut the door.
"I think so too," Harry said as he went for Hermione. "Hermione, I was wondering if we could tell your mother tonight. Like before the party?" Harry asked as he put his arms around Hermione's waist.
"I was thinking the same thing too," Hermione said as she leaned in for a kiss.
"Well then it's settled. We'll tell her tonight," Harry said as kissed her lips. The kiss ended up with Hermione on the bed and Harry on top of her. He began to unbutton her shirt and took off her skirt and panties. He gently kissed her neck and trailed down to her stomach. He quickly took off his jacket and shirt. He then went back to her lips. She was already busy unbuttoning his pants. She finally got them released and threw them on the floor. His boxers soon followed. Her hands traveled down to his excitement and massaged it gently. This made him moaned into her mouth. He knew if he delayed anymore, his climax would soon come. He quickly prepared for his entrance and made his way into her. He gently began to push and started to move at a gentle pace. Hermione kept telling him to go faster. So at her command he did. She arched her back and moaned out his name and other things. The words that were coming out of her mouth made him even more aroused and he picked up the speed even faster. He pushed harder and harder wanting to go further and further into her. Her screams of pleasure were too much for him
"I'm coming. I'm coming Harry," she moaned out.
"HARRY!" she yelled. Harry felt her warmness flow through him. This was the last straw and got the feeling in his stomach and knew he was soon going to follow.
"I'm coming Hermione. I'm coming!" he moaned out. He pushed as far as he could go, and Hermione quickly felt a sudden warmness flow into her. He pulled out of her and collapsed beside her. He raised the cover over them and turned to her.
"I love you," Harry said with loving eyes.
"I love you too," Hermione responded and leaned in for one more kiss. She placed her head on top of his chest and asked Harry a question.
"Harry, do you want a girl or a boy?"
"I think I want a girl," Harry said as he ran his fingers through Hermione's wet hair.
"Really?" she asked excitedly.
"Really - I want to be able to spoil her," he said with a smile on his face. "Besides, she will have your looks and brains. She will inherit my green eyes. She will also be a great Quidditch player like me," Harry said proudly.
The door swung open and Draco came in.
"What the… Did you two just shag?" Draco asked disgustedly.
"Don't you knock?" Harry asked angrily.
"No, this is my house," Draco said as he exited the room. Hermione reached for her clothes and Harry did the same. They got dressed and let Draco back in. Harry picked up his suit and placed it on his bed neatly.
"Is that the suit you are going to wear tonight?" Draco asked.
"Yes, it was an early Christmas gift from Hermione and your mum," Harry said as he sat down on the couch. Hermione sat on Harry's lap.
"You two aren't going to act like this in front of people are you?" Draco asked.
"Why not?" Harry asked
"It's disgusting," Draco said sarcastically.
"We can't help it if we are in love. Besides, you and Blaise are the same way," Hermione argued back. She looked at her watch. "Oh I better leave. I have to get ready," Hermione said as she got off of Harry's lap.
"What do you mean? The party isn't going to start for another six hours," Harry said surprised.
"Exactly," Hermione said and gave him a peck on the lips. She left the room and Draco turned to Harry.
"What did you get her for Christmas?"
"A sliver locket," Harry responded as he got a Quidditch magazine off of the coffee table. "What did you get Blaise?" Harry asked as he flipped the pages.
"I just bought her a necklace with a small diamond cat charm," Draco said has he reached for a magazine. "Hey, do you want to go play pool in my room?"
"Sure! Maybe later I could show you more snowboarding tricks," Harry said excitedly.
"Okay! Who ever thought that a Muggle sport could be so much fun?" Draco said surprised.
Harry and Draco walked up to his room and they played seven games of pool. Harry ended up losing about sixty galleons. After Harry paid his dues, they went outside and Harry lent Draco one of his snowboards. Draco got the hang of snowboarding rather quickly. Soon, the two of them were jumping off of small cliffs and snow ramps. Harry showed Draco three new snowboarding tricks that afternoon. They stayed outside for about twp hours until Harry fell flat on his head. It was then when they realized that it was time to go in.
"Are you okay mate? You hit the ground pretty hard." Draco asked
"Yeah, I just landed wrong," Harry said as he rubbed the back of his head. They got inside and handed their things to Edward.
"Thank you Edward," Harry said
"Your clothes are already laid for you in your rooms and both of your showers are already running," Edward said as he shook the snow off of their coats.
"See you later then," Harry told Draco. Harry ran up to his room and stepped into the warm, relaxing shower. He got out and started reciting his speech to Mrs. Malfoy while shaving and brushing his teeth. He managed to comb his hair to the side but he knew it would just get untidy after a few hours. He put on his suit and some Calvin Klein cologne. He looked at himself in the mirror. He knew he was going to have a great time.
