Author note: All credit goes to J.K Rowling, power to her for keeping her train of thought on track. Pretty sure I've forgotten all about the story I planned to write and now it's jumped tracks. Wish me luck.

A few months later.
She sat between Georges long legs on the floor drinking the fire whiskey while watching the fire.
" You started dating yet?" She asked as she leaned against his chest.
"Not yet but you remember Angelina?" He replies as stroked her shoulder. "She came by the store the other day and we had a cuppa."
"Really, George that's great." She lifted her head up and kissed his cheek. " I remember her being incredibly sweet and quite attractive as well." She frowned a little. " Guess we won't be able to do this when you start dating." She leaned back into his chest.
" Yeah most friends aren't this affectionate with each other." He laughed as he squeezed her tight.
"I know but I've missed you. Happy Christmas." He kissed the top of her head." I'm glad we got everything wrapped and put up. "
" Yes, lets just stay down here, all the kids will probably be up a couple hours anyways." He said as he grabbed the blanket off the couch he was leaning against.
" You should invite Angelina to the Zabinis' New Years party." She suggested as he wrapped the blanket around them .
" Don't you always decline the invitation? Because he will be there. You sure you won't need me?" His voice of concern touched her.
" I have to learn to stand on my own eventually. " He twirled a piece of her hair.
" Have you thought about telling Alex about his father?" He felt her sigh against his chest.
" Sometimes I tell myself I'm going to and then I remind myself that I'm a mudblood and my son would be a filthy halfbreed." Her voice had all the venom in it that Lucius instilled in her. " He has his heir and his pure blood wife. " A small sob escaped her as bitter tears fell.
"Hermione." He kissed her head again and hugged her tight. " No one believes that, not even you." He grabbed her face and made her look at him and kissed her lips. "You are the smartest, bravest, most beautiful witch in the whole world." He kissed her after each word. " Any man would be the luckiest man in the world to have you love them. He's a fool for not seeing that."
" Why couldn't I fall in love with you?" She gave him a small kiss back and nuzzles herself into his chest. " You are going to make someone a wonderful husband one day."
" Well according to our contract if we haven't met someone by next year we have to get hitched." He chuckled as he leaned his check against her head.
"I wouldn't be terribly opposed to that but I think you should find someone who can give you their whole heart. My dumb arse is still in love with the amazing bouncing ferret." She snickered at herself while he laughed softly. "I am going to miss this though."
He kissed her head again relishing in her warmth for one last evening. They both knew their friendship was going to change. They fell asleep on the floor by the big Christmas tree.
"Aunty Mione" Lily yelled as she jumped into her sleeping lap. "Uncle George wake up its time for presents."
They both stretched and he gave her a small kiss on her cheek and a squeeze as he got up and went to the kitchen. Ginny came and sat next to her and Lily.
" Are you two getting back together?" She asked quietly as the older kids started passing out presents.
"No he's thinking about asking Angelina out. I think she'll be good for him." She took the cup of tea from her ginger friend and sipped it as the kids began opening their presents. Teddy came up to her and handed her a small box wrapped in dark green matte paper.
