Underneath the mistletoe.

A/N: So here's a new festive one-shot for Harry Potter! I hope you like it, and MERRY CHRISTMAS! Have a happy new year :)
Twas the night before Christmas when...
Hermione Granger was walking through one if the many halls at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft of Wizardry at Christmas, this year she had decided to stay at school; simply because she did NOT want to see her cousin in New York this year, when she passed her arch enemy, Draco Malfoy.
"Mudblood." Draco murmured.
"Ferret." Hermione replied.
After they had each walked a few feet away from each other a force pushed them back and they fell straight into the middle of an invisible circle.
Draco got up and tried to push and shove his way out of the circle, whilst Hermione glanced up and noticed the mistletoe hanging directly above her head.
"Oh Merlin, look!" Hermione whispered, loud enough for Draco to hear.
"What?" Draco asked then looked up to where Hermione's head was pointing.
"Mistletoe." Draco whispered.
"I've read about this in Hogwarts: A History. Every year at Christmas Dumbledore enchants the school in the holidays so that any two students of the opposite gender who dislike each other walk past each other in a hallway Mistletoe will appear and they will both get trapped until they kiss one another. It may be unsatisfactory, but I must admit, it's clever." Hermione says looking a little bit disgusted.
"Never in a million years would I kiss a Mudblood like you, Granger, and mistletoe can't make me, either." Draco spits, looking away.
"Then if you want to die in here, Malfoy, then do as you wish. I will just draw this line and if any part of you dares to cross it you will get an instant itching/tickling sensation." Hermione says and draws a line with her wand.
She then uses accio and food and drinks come flying towards her, along with a fuzzy blanket.
"Uh, Granger?" Draco asks.
"What?" Hermione replies.
"Can I maybe, well uh maybe, how about maybe, have some food?" Draco stuttered.
Hermione simply tossed him a bread roll and some jam.
Draco had left his wand in his bag, which was not in his reach.
Hours passed and soon it was 11pm and both still hadn't dared to kiss one another.
Prefects had been on patrol but when they saw the two heads under the mistletoe they realised what was going on and they scurried off in silence.
At 11:59pm Hermione and Draco couldn't stand it any longer.
"Look Malfoy-" Hermione started
"Granger I think we should just-" Draco said
"How about we just kiss so we could get it over and done with and go back to our welcoming beds." Hermione finished.
"Okaaay." Draco said.
Hermione waited expectantly for Draco to come over to her before she realised that the line she had drawn was still there from in the morning. She erased the line and they both met up in the middle of the circle.
At exactly midnight their lips met. Sparks ran through both of them. As they deepened the kiss they both realised what they were doing and instantly pulled away.
"Well that was-" Hermione started again.
"Just simply_" Draco said
"Magical." They both finished at the same time.
Draco went to retrieve his bag and together the two of them walked back up to the common room and from that day on the feud between the Seventh year Gryffindors and Slytherins ended and Draco and Hermione both realised something they should have realised long ago.
'We were meant to be. Underneath The Mistletoe.'
