It was the morning that Christmas holidays started, and Draco and Harry were in the astronomy tower. No one was up there when everyone was about to leave for Christmas.

"I am going to miss you so much! Life is going to be hell there for the first couple of weeks."

"I know. I will miss you too. You can get through it. We both can."

They embraced each other.

"Just remember that I love you. Once everyone finds out that we are together, we will no longer have to hide our love. This is all for a better future."

Draco nodded in Harry's shoulder, tears threatening to fall.

"This still doesn't make it easy."

"I know."

They were silent for a while, just basking in each other's warmth. The bell to signify that the carts leaving for the station were to leave in five minutes went.

"You had better go now." Harry also had tears in his eyes.

Draco leaned up and kissed Harry.

"I love you, Harry."

"I love you too, Draco."

Draco let go of Harry and ran off, leaving Harry alone.

Harry watched him go, then got up to look out the window. He felt something furry on his leg. He looked down and saw Midnight. He picked her up.

"I will miss him so much, Midnight." Harry cried as he watched his love leave on one of the carriages.

Little did he know, that Draco too was crying as he watched the astronomy tower get smaller.

"It's ok Draco. You will see him again soon." Blaise whispered next to him.

Harry started to make his way down to the common room. He knew Ron and Hermione would be wondering where he was. They too stayed this Christmas, like always.

"There you are Harry! I was beginning to think that you left with all the others." Hermione said as she saw him come through the portrait hole. She looked at the kitten he was holding as he took a seat on one of the couches.

"That cat really does like you, doesn't he?"

"It's a she." Harry said, not looking at her or Ron who was seated next to her.

"She? Oh. Have you found out who she belongs to? I hope whoever it is didn't forget to take her away with them."

Harry didn't reply. Hermione looked over at Ron.

"Guess what Harry. I found out the funniest news this morning. Apparently Ferret boy is to marry Parkinson these holidays. Hahaha! Can you imagine! The two of them coming back all lovey dovey! Calling each other husband and wife! Mr. and Mrs. Ferret!! Hahaha!" Ron laughed. Hermione too joined in on the laughter.

But Harry did not.

"SHUT UP!" Harry jumped up from the couch, Midnight running away to hide under a table.

"Just shut up ok." Harry sat back down.

"Is everything ok, Harry?" Hermione went over to sit next to Harry. Harry flinched as Hermione touched his shoulder.

"Yes. I'm just tired. I'm going to bed."

Harry got up and made his way to the dorms, Midnight following him.

"I think we should tell Dumbledore about this." Hermione said once Harry was out of hearing.

"Definitely." Ron agreed.

Little did Harry know that this wasn't the first time Hermione and Ron had gone to tell Dumbledore about Harry.

Harry laid on his bed, softly crying. Midnight crawled up to him, and Harry embraced her.

All of a sudden the door to the dorm opened. Harry quickly dried his eyes and pretended to sleep, thinking it was Ron.

"Harry. I know you are not asleep." It was Seamus.

Harry sat up and Seamus came to sit next to him.

"I know what you are going through." He started.

"No. You don't. No one knows." Harry looked down at his blankets.

"Yes. I do. I go through the same thing every time Dean and I are separated, I can tell you are going through it too. I hate it when he goes, but I know he will be back soon."

"But what if something goes wrong, and it's the last time you ever see him.

"I have faith Harry."

Harry looked at Seamus.

"Thank you."

Seamus smiled.

"No probs, Harry. Now, are you going to tell me who the lucky person is?" Seamus smiled but Harry just looked down at Midnight in his lap.

"It's a secret. If people found out, they would kill us both."

"It can't be that bad." Seamus said, a bit put off by Harry's comment.

"Yes. It can... But when he comes back after Christmas, everything will be known. I just hope that we can be accepted and that his Dad doesn't come after us."

Seamus nodded, all the while wondering who this mystery person could be.

"I'm sure it will be fine, Harry. Now come on, let's get some lunch."

The two got up and left.

Harry and Seamus found Neville, Ron and Hermione at the Gryffindor table at lunch.

"Are you feeling better now, Harry?" Hermione asked.

"Yes."

"Let's go and have snow ball fight after lunch." Ron suggested.

"Yeah!"

A few snow ball fights later, everyone was cuddled around the fire of the common room. Ron and Hermione were sharing a blanket on a seat, cuddled so close that they were almost on top of each other. Neville was playing with Crooksnaks and Midnight on the floor. Harry stared into the fire.

Seamus went to sit next to Harry, and smiled at him.

"Did you enjoy the game?" He asked.

"Yeah. Thanks for making me feel better."

"It's ok Harry. Just happy to help!" Seamus grinned.

Aww... Seamus is a good friend.
