“What are you doing?” Violet hisses down the bond, eyes narrowing as she shoots a glance over her shoulder at me.
“Reminding Tecarus that he can’t have you.”
It’s not a lie. It may not be my primary motivation, but it’s not a lie because every minute we spend here is another minute I worry about Tecarus doing all he can to collect her, just like he’s collected so many others. To him, she’s only a weapon, a tool, an oddity. And tomorrow, he wants her to perform parlor tricks to prove herself. I clench my jaw and slip my hand higher, thumb brushing the bare skin at her spine.
She shivers.
But then she twists out of my touch, turning back to Liam as she takes another sip of her wine, his eyes darting down to her mouth as she swallows. “You sure it’s Tecarus you’re reminding?”

Hermione tries to ignore the sting of watching Ron cozy up with his new beau during Christmas at the Burrow. Their break-up had been amicable, but it still wasn’t easy to be alone during the holidays.
Maybe sitting on Santa’s lap will help her get what she really wants. She has been a very good girl, after all.

Summary
Draco was beginning to suspect that most of the things he enjoyed about being back at Hogwarts had everything to do with Hermione Granger. His first holiday season as a professor, he thought, would surely be no different.
