Chapter 7

Holiday

When Christmas Eve finally came, Harry had his presents under the tree for Draco. Draco was getting his overnight bag together for that night, and Fred and George were getting the blankets from everybody's beds and putting them on the couches, armchairs, and the floor. Hermione, Ginny, and pansy were sleeping up in the girl's dormitories. The boys were sleeping in the common room. The only one not enjoying Christmas was Ron. He shut himself up in the boy's dormitories.

At around four in the afternoon, Draco, pansy, goyle, and Crabbe showed up. They put their presents under the tree and relaxed until dinner.

That evening, they all ate together.

"So, what are we doing tonight?" Harry asked, and everybody shrugged.

"I was thinking, maybe we could all go outside? Make a snow man?" Draco suggested.

"Or, we could stay inside and relax. Spend some time with our significant others." George said, grabbing lee's hand. Lee smiled and kissed Georges cheek.

"Or, just spend time together as friends?" Hermione asked, and everyone nodded. After dinner they went back to the common room and talked about what had happened that year.

"I still can't believe black hasn't been captured" Fred said. Draco was sitting with Harry in his lap and his grip on Harry tightened. Harry recognized this and kissed his hand.

"Yeah, me either. But they'll catch him. I wouldn't worry Draco" Oliver said, smirking.

"Yes, well he has his right to be nervous. He's after Harry, and he's scared for him." Lee said.

"That's not all of it though. He's in real trouble if he gets cornered by black." Draco said.

"I could defend myself." Harry said, grumpily.

"I know you could, but if you get hurt, you'll have me to deal with. And trust me, I wont be happy" Draco said.

"Why?" Harry asked and Seamus laughed.

"You'd be taking you away from him. He wouldn't be able to deal." Seamus said and Draco chuckled.

"Don't worry. I wont take me away from you" Harry said, kissing his lips. The later and later it got, more and more people started to fall asleep. Dean, who was snoring lightly, had fallen asleep in Seamus' arms. The girls were already upstairs, asleep. Lee was asleep in George's arms, Oliver in Fred's. Crabbe was asleep in the floor, next to goyle. Harry and Draco were on the couch, sleeping.

That morning, at around nine, the girls had come down stairs.

"Boys! Time to get up! Its Christmas!" Ginny called, but no one stirred. It took another hour for Draco to wake up.

"What time is it?" he asked, barely awake.

"Ten." Ginny said. Draco started to shake Harry.

"Come on, its Christmas. Time to wake up" he said.

"Im tired" Harry mumbled, cuddling into Draco's chest.

"Seriously Harry, get up" he said, and Harry's eyes fluttered.

"Thanks for waking me" he said grumpily and moved to the other side of the couch.

"You are so grumpy in the morning" he said, pouting.

"Im sorry. But im still tired. Wake me up in 15 minutes" Harry said, and fell back asleep. Draco sighed and went to wake everyone else up. 15 minutes later, the only people still asleep were Harry, Fred, and Seamus. Once everyone was up they started to pass out presents. Harry had gotten a model broomstick from Ginny, a new quidditch book from Hermione, a bag of candy from Fred, George and lee, and new quills from Seamus and dean. Oliver got him a watch, and a nice one at that. But the best gift he got was from Draco. Draco had gotten him a stuffed bear that said, 'my angel' and a snitch.

"Draco… thank you so much!" he said, kissing his cheek. When Draco opened his present, he started to cry. The first picture in it was one of them kissing. Under it said, 'together forever'.

"Harry, I can't thank you enough." He said, drying his eyes. Harry kissed his lips softly and went to get dressed. Soon after they all went down to eat breakfast.

"Happy Christmas to all!" Dumbledore said, greeting them. "So how was your sleep over?" he asked Harry, and Harry blushed and walked away.

"So what are we doing today?" Draco asked, holding Harry's hand and relaxing.

"Make a snow man!" Harry said and Draco laughed.

"What's so funny?" Harry asked.

"Well, if I were to make the snow man look like you, that would be one sexy snow man." Everyone laughed except Oliver. Harry chuckled and ate some Christmas pancakes. Once everyone was done, they went outside. The boys went to play quidditch, while the girls made a snowman. At lunch, they went back inside to have sandwiches. After lunch, everyone went upstairs. The girls decided to take a nap while the boys drank hot chocolate and played wizard chess. For dinner they had a small feast, which everyone ate together. They went back to the common room, to get the slytherins things together. Harry kissed him goodbye and they headed back to the slytherin common room.

"What a long day!" Fred exclaimed, sitting with Oliver.

"Tell me about it. Im going to bed." Harry said and headed up to the boys dormitories. Ron was sitting on his bed, his shoulders shaking. Harry realized he was crying. Harry went to go sit by him.

"Ron, are you ok?" Harry asked.

"No. Im tired of us ignoring each other. Im sorry I over reacted. If you weren't ready to tell me, I should have respected that." Ron said, and Harry put his arm around his shoulder.

"Ron, im sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I should have known you would have understood but I was scared." Harry said. Ron looked at him.

"You were scared? Whatever for?" he asked, looking puzzled.

"Well, that you would hurt me for being gay." Harry said and Ron laughed.

"I could care less if you were an alien. You'd still be my best friend." Ron said and gave him a hug. Tears came to Harry's eyes.

"Really? You mean it?" he asked.

"Of course. But seriously, what do you find in malfoy?" he asked.

"His beautiful eyes, his sexy blond hair. And-"

"Never mind!" he said, and they laughed. They went back down stairs and saw the boys playing jinn rummy.

"Look who finally made up." Fred said, smiling at them.

"Yep." Harry said, and sat down on the couch.

"I thought you were going to bed Harry" lee said, cuddling next to George.

"I changed my mind." Harry said.

"George… are you…" Ron was saying but Fred finished for him.

"Gay? Why yes little brother we are." Fred said and Ron smirked.

"I should have guessed. No wonder you wanted Oliver and lee over all the time." He said and everyone laughed. It was great to have Ron back.
