A/N: This most likely will be the last chapter of this collection. This was for the Canon Vs. Fanon Competition, the Life at Hogwarts Competition in HPFC, and the Divination assignment three in the Hogwarts forum. I seem to be in the mood for Christmas already since I keep writing Christmas stories! Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. JK Rowling does.

Lavender had just finished her last Divination class before Christmas break started. It was also her last class for term, so she had the rest of the afternoon off to pack to go home and to spend time with Parvati before they left.

She had let her mind travel while she was walking and didn't hear when Seamus had snuck up on her. Lavender jumped when she saw him and placed a hand over her heart. "Merlin, are we ever going to stop scaring each other?" Lavender asked, smiling at him.

Seamus shrugged his shoulder casually. "I don't know…some would say that we're keeping each other on our toes," he answered, winking at her. They walked side by side, and their hands kept brushing against each other's and lingered every so often. Her eyes widened. She knew she definitely wasn't imagining that.

Lavender's breath caught when their eyes met, and she tried to focus on where she was going. She still didn't know how to deal with these feelings she was having yet. "I suppose they might," she murmured.

"What are you doing over the holidays?" she asked, suddenly realizing that she didn't know.

"We might try to get last minute tickets to a Quidditch game… but it might just be a quiet Christmas at home because of everything that's going on." Seamus looked awkward as he looked away.

"Well, I hope the Quidditch game works out for you," Lavender said politely.

He tilted his head to look at her. "What about you?"

"We're just seeing some family members," Lavender answered. She suddenly felt shy as a thought appeared in her head. "I…I'll miss you," she murmured, feeling embarrassed as she looked at the floor.

Seamus lifted her chin so she could look at him. "I'll miss you too," he admitted after a moment.

She closed the gap between them by pulling him into a tight hug. Lavender really was glad that they had become better friends that year. She had no idea what she would've done without him.

"Mistletoe," Seamus muttered as he gave her a crooked smile.

Lavender blinked at him in confusion as she looked up at the ceiling. Sure enough, there was mistletoe hanging from it. "How did that get there?" she asked curiously. She knew it hadn't been there before.

Seamus shrugged, though he had a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Magic?" he suggested in an amused tone.

"Possibly…" Lavender didn't have time to dwell on her next thought much longer. Seamus was looking at her in a way that made her want to melt. She could feel herself drawing closer to him as time seemed to have come to a halt around them. Their faces were closer to each other now. She was certain that she was barely breathing then…her eyes closed and their lips finally met. The kiss was slow and soft, but Lavender was completely lost in the moment. Her whole body tingled and the kiss felt electrifying even though neither of them deepened it.

"Wow," she muttered breathlessly when they pulled apart.

Seamus grinned as he ran a hand through his hair nervously. "I've wanted to do that for ages," he admitted.

Lavender's heart danced as she blinked at him in surprise. "Really?"

He nodded. "I've also wanted to ask you to be my girlfriend…" Seamus trailed off as he looked nervous again.

She froze for a second before she responded by kissing him again.

"Is that a yes?" Seamus asked her hopefully. She nodded before kissing him again.
