Chapter Seven- Christmas Day
Danielle woke up and reached for Draco but he was not there. Confused, she got out of bed and found a note poking out of her dressing gown. She noticed it wasn't written too long ago.
Dearest Danielle,
I apologise for not being there when you woke up. My father called me to The Malfoy Manor; he usually does that to talk to me about things. I hope my present to you will substitute my presence. Merry Christmas. Please do not worry. Draco x
Danielle pressed this to her heart and slowly opened the black wrapped gift her had attached. She open the little jewellery box and saw a beautiful charm bracelet with a black orb hanging on it. The orb's surface was shiny and carved into with little fierce dragons. Right away, she flicked her hair back and hung the necklace around her neck. 'Thank you so much. I love you, Draco' she thought and hoped telepathy worked.She looked in the mirror, admiring the special work of art and saw the little dragon carvings move around the orb as if they were alive. They breathed fire and Danielle felt the orb warm up a little from the dragons.
But Danielle remembered what happen last time Draco had gone to Malfoy Manor. A flood of anxious and frightening thoughts flooded her mind. 'Oh Draco' she thought. She remembered last night, how he had kissed her lips so deeply and how he care fully and tenderly kissed her tummy. And how much Draco too wanted to keep their son.
Danielle noticed the owls waiting impatiently at the closed window, pecking at the glass and quickly opened the window. It was from Ginny, Ron and Harry, wishing her a Merry Christmas and her Christmas present. Ginny had given her a beautiful silver head band for her hair, Ron and Harry a new book bag with Danielle stitched on the front. Quickly she grabbed a piece of parchment and wrote a thank you letter and attached their presents too. Soon the owl took off making Danielle feeling lonely and quiet. Most of the students had gone home leaving only Draco and Danielle.
In the Dumbledore's office, Albus and Snape were discussing Draco departure and Draco's progress in auror training. "Severus, he needs to improve faster for The Battle is soon" said Albus, his brow furrowed in deep thought. "Dumbledore, he is catching up to the other boys. He will be ready to fight for our side, very soon" replied Snape, confidently
"I hope you are correct, Severus, I hope you are right" replied the headmaster.
