School started back for me, so there may be a lack of updates and an increase of homework:( but I will try to update at least twice a week if I'm around and have time.

I got a complaint that all the stories had Kalli and draco making out on the couch at the end. Well, what should I do Ginny? Put them on the bed;)

Anyway, I didn't end this one that way. Send me ideas for ends if you don't like the couch.

KalliPOV

I had to stay at Hogwarts over Christmas, though I was the only person in Slytherin that didn't have a family to go home to. My brother was in America with his soon-to-be wife for the holidays.

I met a nice girl named Rose in Ravenclaw, and she gave me the password so I could go into her house, since mine was deserted.

On christmas, I woke up surrounded by mini chocolate Christmas trees that said MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM VIRGINIA!! I was so excited. I wished she was here to see the look on my face.

Two gifts were there for me.

One was a broom! From my brother.

It was a nimbus 2001! The newest one! I wrote them thank you and rushed to open my other gift.

The other gift was small, from Draco.

I slowly untied the wrappings and opened it. Inside there was a neclace, with an emerald heart at the end. I put it on and wrote the Malfoys thank you so much and I couldn't wait to see them again.

It would be only a week before I could see them again.

A Week Later

Draco and Virginia walked into the commonroom before anyone else; they had all gone to the great Hall for dinner.

I ran to Draco and hugged him tightly. He kissed my cheek.

I went to Virginia and hugged her. She seemed more solemn than when I last saw her.

But I didn't care.

"Kalli, can you come to our room with me?" she asked me, "I need to tell you something, well show you."

"NO! You can't, not now!" Draco yelled.

"That's not my problem. You can deal with it sooner or later. But if you know what's good for you, sooner," She said.

What were they talking about?

Once we got there, we sat down.

"Kalli, my brother has... I'm... It's really hard to explain, but... You need to leave because.." she couldn't find the right words, it seemed.

"Just tell me. I don't care what it is. I can handle it. I'm strong," I said.

"I have to show you. There's no explanation."

She started to lift up her sleeve.

It was there.

I couldn't speak.

"Du... does Draco?" I asked, scared of my best friend.

"I didn't want it. But they did it early. I never would have expected so soon. It's not normal," she said.

"DOES DRACO HAVE THE FUCKING DARK MARK OR NOT!?" I screamed, past tears.

"No. But he will get it sooner because of my mistakes too. Once he proves himself."

"He... he has to k..."

"Yeah. You know he'll kill himself before he lays a finger on you, right?"

"But they'll..."

"No, he'll run away, where I was going to."

The room was silent for awhile.

"Let's talk about something else. How was your boring, deserted Christmas?" She said with a smirk.

"I got a broom! A Nimbus 2001! And look!" I showed her my neclace.

She smiled.

"He sent it after... Well, he really cares about you. We'll put it that way."

I ran downstairs to see Draco. He seemed shocked that I ran into his arms smiling, not crying.

He kissed my forehead and hugged me close.

"Not that you've got a broom, you have to go out for quiddich," Virginia said, matter-of-factly.

"No freakin way. Have you seen me play? I always have to be seeker and I suck crap!"

"I can make you a chaser," Draco said, his lips in my hair, "I'm captain."

"I really don't know if I would want you to embarrass me, just cuz I'm your girlfriend..."

His lips crashed onto mine, trying to cnvince me to try out, Slytherin had one horrible chaser that always messed the others up, carelessly dropping the quaffle.

"Ok, I'm convinced," I said as he smirked, "But we should all go to dinner."

We went and saw Fred and George there.

"Your Christmas present will happen in your dorm, probably in the dead of night," Fred said.

"Parkinson, candy, ugly, fireworks, take the hint," I knew what George was saying and laughed out loud as he went over to start snogging Virginia.

"That's so gross," Draco said.

"Just nasty," said Fred.

"She's getting revenge for when I snog you, babe," I said to Draco.

He pulled me closer.

"Later,"I said, "We're already playing that game, and we don't want to encourage them."

He tried to do a puppy dog face, but we, and Fred ended up laughing our guts out, which stopped George and Virginia. They wanted to see what they had missed.

"Just the funniest face I've ever seen a Malfoy make," Fred said.

We all laughed until we had to go to our houses for the night.

R&R PEOPLE!
