Author's Notes: *squee* Hiya y'all! Here is the first part of my fluffy/angsty new story. (I know that's virtually impossible, but I'll make it work! Honest!) There is more coming if you like it. And yes, I know it is short. It is MUCH longer handwritten. Oh, thanks to Silver Serpent of Slytherin. I took your idea and combined the chapters. One more thing, If I took someone's idea, I'm REALLY sorry. I didn't know!



*Christmas Eve 2-years Post Hogwarts*

Harry and Draco sat in front of the beautifully decorated tree that resided by the fireplace in their home, exchanging gifts. Draco handed Harry a gorgeous box that shimmered and changed colors in the dancing firelight. He was so taken with it that he almost refused to open it.
"Are you sure you want me to open it now, love?" he asked.
"Yes, yes! I can't stand to wait any longer. You have to open it now!" Harry smiled, wondering what was in the small box that draco could be so anxious about. He opened it slowly, taking care not to rip the wrapping paper. His eyes widened and he gasped when he saw what lay inside.
"Oh, Draco..." he carefully lifted the delicate silver necklace that was nestled in tissue paper from the box. Dangling from it was a small charm of a dragon holding a lightning bolt. Draco smiled nervously.
"Do you like it? I had it specially made. I thought-" Harry silenced Draco's nervous babbling with a soft kiss.
"I love it"
"Open your gift now, Drac" Harry said, pulling a silver wrapped box tied with a translucent ribbon from under the tree. Draco tore into it. Harry rolled his eyes. Once Draco had successfully managed to tear all the wrapping paper to shreads, he sut upon opening the rather large box. Much to his chagrin, he found a smaller box inside. Wrinkling his nose, he looked up.
"Har-ry!" Harry only laughed.
"Just getting you back for last year, love!" Draco narrowed his eyes and growled at Harry, who laughed again, and turned back to the task at hand. Finally, he reached the last box, which turned out to be a tiny ring box. He looked at Harry who was waiting impatiently.
"Well, go ahead and open it already!" said Harry eagerly. Draco laughed and lifted the lid. Inside lay a elegantly beautiful silver ring. Shining engraved words wove their way around the band, but he didn't understand them.
"It's Latin," Harry explained, "It means, 'to my dragon, love always' " Draco looked up at him, eyes shining.
"Oh, Harry! Why do you have to be so damn sweet?"
