Prompt: Hermione has long since stopped celebrating Christmas; it's just another day to our lonely heroine.

Will being the only two people working on Christmas bring them together and bring the holiday spirit alive again?

I do not own the characters, just the plot

Team Hippocampus' entry for Tyche's "It's Hot in Here!" August Challenge.

TchyeSong's August prompt selection "A man's kiss is his signature", a quote by Mae West led me to this little bit of fun.  Hermione Granger has to figure out what it is about a man's kiss that makes it singular, and her in case, the key to waking her up.
