Title: Boxing Day Visitations

Rating: K

Warnings: none

A/N: For the Dec 2011 "Boxing Day" DMHG Challenge community on LJ

Draco leaned down and kissed Hermione's cool, pale lips, as if he was a fairytale prince and she was his spellbound princess. True love's kiss would end the curse; they'd live happily ever after. But his yearly kiss never woke her.

Their clandestine love affair may have ended years before the muggle car accident brought her to St. Mungo's, but their love was never-ending.

Other people visited her often, on Christmas or her birthday. Not Draco. He wanted to remain Hermione's secret. "Until next year, beloved," he murmured, giving her a final kiss. Another Boxing Day had come and gone.
