Notes:
Harry Potter Christmas Collection Competition: Prompt Used - (object) Christmas card
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry: Chocolate Frog: Cuthbert Binns – Silver – Incorporate the class or studies of History of Magic, or the character of Cuthbert Binns, into your story.
He was in History of Magic class, but Harry wasn't paying attention to Binns. For the first time in a while, though, he wasn't sleeping during class. He had something else he had to get done, and he decided History of Magic would be the perfect time to work on it without interruptions.
He stared at the brightly colored Christmas card. He had found it in Hogsmeade and thought it was perfect for Bill. That had been the easy part.
Now the hard part...
Writing a meaningful letter within the card, making sure Bill knew exactly how he felt.
He and Bill have been dating for almost a year, even though it has been kept innocent because of Harry's young age, and Harry knew what he felt for Bill was love.
He wanted to tell Bill without actually saying the words.
He tapped the point of the quill against his desk, trying to come up with the right words to express his feelings for Bill.
Finally, it came to him.
Bill,
This is our first Christmas together, and I can honestly say I have never been happier. Despite the war, when I'm with you, I feel like we can survive anything. You make me want to work harder to end the war because I yearn for the chance to be with you in a peaceful world.
I want to be better for you. I want to make you as happy as you have made me.
I hope this letter isn't too sentimental for you, but I needed you to know that I care about you so much. Every day, I'm going to work to make the world a better place to give the two of us a real chance.
Harry
Harry read the letter over, and he nodded, happy with it. He would be seeing Bill in less than a week. Time couldn't move fast enough.
