Warning: THIS IS A SLASH! Now that I've told you I wish no flames
claiming that my story is a slash. I think I would have noticed that
as I was writing it.

Disclaimer: Harry and Draco are mine! They belong to me!*gets smacked
upside the head* fine...fine...I don't own them, I wish I did though!
And for the record they are the best couple!

Pairings: guess....Harry/Draco (duh!)
Ron/Hermione
Dean/Semus
Neville/Ginny
Author note: Ah thanksgiving is over and all across the country people,
shops and radios are playing christmas music, I sadly have been pulled
into the void of jingle bells and all those other happy songs...this
fic is what resulted after too much turkey, an overdose of christmas
music, only 2 hours of sleep and an episode of CSI ( how that falls in
we don't really know). It's a basic fluff, with a minimal plot :-) ALSO!
IMPORTANT! I can't spell, repeat I CAN'T spell! Not a bit, so if there
are spelling mistakes, pardon me and please don't shoot!

with no further ado....

~Watching Dimond~
by:Lone Draco


Christmas morning brought cheery spirits and a fresh layer of
fine, powdery snow to the Hogwarts castle. In one of the tallest towers
a tall 6th year boy fought the sun's tantilizing rays as they tried
to pry his eyes open.

"Aye, Harry just get up, you're fighting a losing battle" The
red-haired Weasly commented chuckling. "Anyways, it's Christmas!" Harry
opened one eyelid and all but glared at his friend.

"So?"he asked sleeply before rolling out of bed. Standing he
walked sleepily towards the bathroom, running into his trunk on the way.
Seconds later the hissing of the shower could be heard. Ron chuckled to
himself before setting off to find Hermione.

He found the brown-haired girl sitting in a chair in the common
room, her face almost covered by a book.

"'Mione, come'n it's Christmas, have alittle fun!" he walked over
and looked over her shoulder to see what book she was reading. What the
tall boy couldn't see was the devilish twinkle his girlfriend had sparkling
in her eyes.

"Fun?" she asked, "Like....this?" she turned around and pulled
Ron into a deep kiss, making the color rise in his cheeks. She pulled
away smiling and from across the room Dean and Seamus ( Dean just happened
to be sitting on Seamus' lap...as if there weren't enough chairs ) cheered.

"Well...not exactly what I meant, but it works for me!" he kissed
her again before noticing that Harry was standing on the stairway chuckling.
"What?" Ron snapped defensivly which only made Harry laugh even more.

"Come'n stop snogging with 'Mione and let's start handing out
these presents," Harry looked towards the mountian of presents under the
christmas tree that sat in the middle of their commen room. "Dean, get
off Seamus and come help!" he ordered with mock-anger at the pair.

"Nah, I'm quite happy here. Thanks for the offer," he turned and
kissed his boyfriend and Harry rolled his eyes. Dropping to his knees
he began to dig through the presents.

"Hermione, this is yours," he handed the girl a present,"Ron...
Me...Seamus...Dean...Ron...'Mione...Lavender...Neville...Me...Ron,"Harry
continued passing out the packages until the floor under the tree could
once again be seen. All across the room the Gryffindors began opening there
presents.

Suddenly a small box materalized under the a 'pop' that caused
everyone to look. "who's it for?" Dean asked looking sceptically at the
small present. Ron was the one who went over and looked.

"It's for Harry," he said handing the gift to the raven-haired
boy. Harry looked down at the present, slightly aware that everyone was
watching him.It was wrapped in a shimmering paper that kept changing color
between red and gold. There was a silver ribbon expertly tied on the
top and a small card written in handwriting Harry had seen before but
couldn't place was

To: Harry Potter
From:A distant watcher

He was startled by this but gave not a second thought to it. Carefully he
pulled off the ribbon and layed it to the side. SLowly he used one of
his longer nails to cut the muggle tape that was used and pulled off the
shifting paper. Inside was a small box, simple, a shade of grey that matched
the winter sky.

Sliding off the top he gasped as he saw what was inside. A single sphere
of dimond , about 3/4s of and inch in diameter it caught the flickering
fire-light casting rainbows on Harry's face. Ontop was a simple golden
chain, it's links etched with a hint of silver.

He held it up so the curiosity of what it could be would end and the
whole room took in a collective gasp. It was Hermione who spoke first.

"Harry? Who could it be from??" she inched closer to look at it.

"It says 'A distant watcher' whoever that could be," he was still amazed
at the present himself and he turned it so that it caught the light and
showered rainbows on the walls.

~~~~~~~

Harry lay in his bed thinking. Eventually the amazment of the dimond had
worn off and everyone had gone back to their presents. At the end of his
bed lay his new Weasly sweater, near his head on the bedside table, he
had the set of wizard's chess Ron had given him and the small, live model
of hedwig that Hermione had presented him that morning.

But the Dimond bugged him the most, he couldn't think who 'A distant watcher'
could be. Two years ago he might have thought that it was Ginny but she
had gotten over him awhile ago and was happily going out with Neville.
He was, to plainly put it, stumped. But he couldn't let it interfere
with his sleep he resolved and rolled over closing his eyes and slipping
into a world of dreams.

~~~~~~~~~

The tall boy turned his grey eyes away from the dimond he held in his hand
as soon as he saw that Harry had gone to sleep. He congratulated himself
again for the brillant idea. What better way to watch his crush all the
time then send him a spy in disguise?

Running a hand through his hair he sighed. But that's all he would be
able to do, watch. Watch and wait. Wait as his few days with Harry
dwindled, until there would only be one more year. But even then all he
would be able to do was watch....
