    Summary

    Hermione Granger is having the worst year of her adult life. And she lived through a war. She's drowning at work, Ron has a new girlfriend (the bastard), and as Christmas nears the last thing she wants to do is handle awkward conversation with her parents, or the Weasleys. Her solution? A solo Christmas holiday in a remote Scottish cottage. Two weeks of peace, wine, reading, and Crookshanks.

    Draco Malfoy has spent years hiding from the world in Malfoy Manor nursing his guilt. His one escape? An annual two-week retreat to a cottage in the Scottish Highlands.

    Except this year when he arrives, Hermione Granger is already there.

    A booking mix-up. A snowstorm. One cottage. Two people who haven't spoken for a decade. Oh, and Crookshanks.

    This is going to be the longest Christmas of their lives.

    This is an advent calendar fic for December 2025. 24 glorious chapters, one chapter posted each day. Dive in, and enjoy!

    Summary

    Alone in a cabin for two days with your worst enemy, what could possibly go wrong?

    ---

    Dearest Draco & Hermione,

    You’ve been lured here under false pretences. No one else will be arriving until Christmas morning. There’s one village within Apparating distance, but since neither of you know where it is and I didn’t leave any winter clothes in the cabin, I’d recommend against trying it. Harry will hex me if you splinch yourselves. Yes, Hermione, Harry (begrudgingly) agreed to this plan on the condition that I give you an out. So, if either of you wants out, simply send a Patronus saying, “I’m a big baby and couldn’t handle two days alone with Draco/Hermione. I give up.” It’s that simple — I wonder which of you will quit first?

    There’s plenty of wine and a few sober up potions, and the house is stocked with anything else you might need. I'm not a complete monster. Board games are in the cupboard next to the fireplace.

    This is for your own good and you know it.

    Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.

    Happy Christmas,
    Theo

    Summary

    Hermione Granger and Fred Weasley used to be best friends. After a post-war fallout, Hermione moved to the States and did her best to forget how he broke her heart. But now, five years later, she's back for a special Christmas with the Weasleys and avoiding Fred isn't an option. Will Hermione finally get closure from the man she used to love? Will Fred be able to pull his head out of his arse and finally say what he should have said long ago? It's certainly going to be an interesting Yuletide season.
