Alrighty! So I saw a post for creampuff week on Tumblr and though I'd have a bash at it.
This is my first Carmilla fic and I figured that 7 smallish one-shots would be a great place to begin and also great practice since I don't usually do one-shots but I'm hoping to change that so I can upload more frequently even when I'm blocked for my main stories.
Anywho! On with the show!
Disclaimer: I don't own Carmilla, or Harry Potter... got some M&M's though... those are pretty great.
It was her first Christmas without her dad but he'd been roped into going to her aunt Leslies and she had preferred to stay at school and prepare for her NEWTs. Not that the small Gryffindor disliked her aunt it was just that she didn't want to lie about what she'd been doing since the last time she saw her.
Laura Hollis had been attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry since she received her letter at age eleven, something she couldn't talk about with her muggle family.
The day before Christmas Eve she said goodbye to all her friends leaving for the holidays. She was surprised when she didn't a certain raven haired Ravenclaw, Laura could have sworn she saw the girls brother getting on the train. She tried not to let the thought of Carmilla leaving without saying goodbye get her down but it was a little difficult considering that they'd been together since the start of the year. Of course her girlfriend could be distant, impassive, sarcastic, snarky and oblivious, sometimes all at once but she never was with Laura.
She looked up and saw Lafontaine waving at her from the window as the train pulled out of the station. She smiled trying not to look disappointed about Carmilla while she waved back at her fellow Gryffindor. Once the train was out of sight she let her shoulders sag and sighed to herself, not looking forward to spending Christmas alone.
"What's wrong creampuff?" she heard the familiar voice in her ear while arms made their way around her waist.
"I thought you left without saying bye to me" Laura turned and hit the marginally taller girl on the shoulder.
"What made you think that?" Carmilla arched her eyebrow in question.
Laura blushed, she didn't really think it was the sort of thing Carmilla would do to her but at the same time she had convinced herself the girl would be going home for the holidays she forgot to actually ask her.
"I thought you'd be going home, I mean I saw Will get on and I… I suppose I just assumed that you'd gone with him."
Carmilla smirked at her before leaning and pecking Laura on the forehead, "you can be so blonde sometimes cutie, I never go home for Christmas."
Laura pulled back to look Carmilla full in the face "why not?" she asked.
Carmilla shook her head "cupcake, I get told I'm a disappointment for not making Slytherin enough during the summer" She told her "also the library is quiet with all of the meatheads gone."
Laura laughed slightly "you could have told me."
"You didn't ask" the raven hair girl told her before leaning in and giving her a peck on the lips, "come on creampuff" she said before taking Laura's hand "the house elves put out hot chocolate and gingerbread for the students who stay at school."
Laura's eyes lit up at the mention of sugar; maybe not going home for Christmas wasn't so bad after all.
I hope you enjoyed!
Not sure how much I love the beginning but I do like the end.
