(CONT...) CHAPTER 5
In the end, I got a black bob wig and a muggle suit. Draco couldn't stop laughing! Who can imagine Lucius dressed as a muggle? After that we went to drink butterbeers at the Three Broomsticks. We talked a lot about Hogwarts and stuff like that. Draco was much easier to talk to than Ronald because he doesn't always talk about quidditch. Last stop was Honeydukes, where Draco bought a lot of chocolate. After that we flooed home. We still had an hour before dinner.
"I'm bored." whined Draco.
"What do you want to do?"
"Lets go flying!"
"Are you bloody crazy? I'm terrified of heights!"
"Come on, I'll teach you to fly, its not so hard!" he begged on his knees.
"Ok, ok stand up you git, and lets go outside!" I couldn't believe I was going to get on a broom.
"Whoopi!" he yelled. "Let's go!"
We went outside and he gave me his Firebolt. He then instructed me systematically. "First, you have to put your hand on top of the broom and say up." this time it went up. "Then, you have to get on top and kick slowly off of the ground. In the air you have to relax and just fly." It was fun and Draco said that it was a shame that I'm not in Slytherin so he could put me on the quidditch team since I'm a really good chaser. He continued to teach me about quidditch until dinner. At dinnertime, mum and dad asked us how our day was and Draco couldn't stop talking about flying.
In my room, Aria was waiting for me with 4 letters and many packages for me.
Dear Mione,
How are you?
I miss you a lot, it's not the same without you here.
My gift is attached to the letter! I hope you're well!
Yours,
Harry
For some reason while I was reading this my heart started beating so fast that you could hear it meters away.
Dear Herms,
We're fine. Here's your gift, don't open it till Christmas!
I've great news! In diagon alley we ran into Pansy and her mom and my mom started talking and so they're coming over for Christmas. Plus I asked Pansy out and she said yes! She misses you a lot and her gift is also attached.
Yours,
Ron and Pansy
I'm so happy for them! They make a really cute couple!
Dear Mia,
I can't wait to hear how Australia was! I really can't wait till the train ride! Can you please tell me what your secret is now? Please!
Your gift is attached to your letter.
Miss you! Yours,
Ginny
p.s. do you know what's up with Ron? He's always smiling and singing, it's freaking me out!
Typical Ginny. The last letter was from my parents!
Sweety,
How are the Malfoys treating you? We miss you a lot!
Remember we love you with all our heart! Your gift is attached to the letter. Keep in touch!
With all our love, your second family
The letter made me cry a lot. They will always be a part of my family and of my life.
Molly and the twins also sent their gifts.
Now I know why Aria is so tired, poor thing had to carry so many packages!
I hid all my gifts in the closet. After that, I started re-reading Hogwarts: A History.
I guess I fell asleep while reading because when I woke up my head was on top of the book.
Today was Christmas eve. I got dressed quickly. Mum and dad were waiting for Draco and me for breakfast, but when I went downstairs Draco was still asleep. I went to his room and stopped at the door. I then raised my wand and said "Acquamenta" after that I ran quickly back to the dining room. A couple of seconds later he appeared soaking wet and very angry. Mum and dad started laughing with me and we couldn't stop. If looks could kill, his would have. Mum told him he should go dry up and change before he caught a cold. Then mum asked me if I had planned something for today but I hadn't. Therefore, she asked me if I could accompany her to Diagon Alley, she had to run some errands.
We flooed to the Leaky Cauldron. From there we went to Gringotts. We had to meet with Grodasky, because he was in charge of the Malfoy vaults(there were 5 vaults, now 6). Mum took me to the bank to add my name in the will, give me access to the Malfoy vaults, and to make me one. All I had to do was prick my finger so a drop of blood would fall on the parchment to make sure I was a Malfoy. There were 6 vaults now. 1 was the family vault, 1 was the emergency vault, 1 was daddy's, 1 was mums, one was Dracos, and one was mine. That was a really big surprise. They united my new vault with my old one that had all my savings and the money the ministry gave me for helping Harry kill Voldermort. Then we went shopping, we bought tons of day dresses, robes, party dresses, tops, skinny jeans, skirts and cute shoes. Mum has really good taste when it comes to clothes and house decorating. After shopping we went to eat ice cream and flooed back home. After dinner I went to sleep, but I sent all my gifts to my friends and mummy and daddy Granger before.
"WAAAAKE UPPPP!" Yelled the idiot of my brother.
He just keeps convincing me that he has the brain of a 5-year-old boy.
I woke up and went to the family room where mum and dad were waiting for me. Draco started opening his presents like a thunderstorm. He loved the snitch and mum and dad asked why the ferret, I told them that it was a story for another time. Then it was my turn. From Mrs. Weasley I got a green jumper with a silver lion, from Fred and George a bunch of joke products, from Ginny a book on how to style my hair, from Ron a book on dragons, from pansy a book on how to put on make up to make my eyes beautiful, from Draco a Firebolt 5000, in silver and gold, from Harry the newest version of Hogwarts: A History and on the inside he wrote "To my best friend, without you I would be nothing. Thanks for always being there, love Harry" (my heart couldn't stop beating!). From mum and dad Granger I got an album with every picture ever made of the three of us until now and there were empty spaces to put new pictures. From mum and dad Malfoy I got a tennis bracelet with green and white sapphires. On the back was engraved "You always were and will be a Malfoy and a Granger! We love you with all our hearts!".
I ran up and hugged them very tight; they were the best. I just wish that my other family could be here too. For breakfast the elves overdid themselves, they even made French toast(my favorite). After that we talked about everything while we sat near the fire place drinking Earl Grey tea.
The hours passed by quickly and before we knew it, it was already time for bed. After that the days passed quickly before I knew it, it was already time to go back to school. I was so nervous. I didn't know what my friends would think of me, I just wanted to throw up.
A/N I KNOW ITS KINDA SHORT BUT I PROMISE I'LL TRY TO MAKE THE NEXT CHAPTER LONGER!
I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER, BUT I WISH I DID! And thanks to kiykat0575 for being an awesome beta!
