Chapter 21
Soon after the ball it was time for the couples to head back home for the Christmas holidays.
"I'm actually feeling sad to be going home." Ginny sighed. She and the girls were packing up the last of their stuff the morning of the train ride.
"I know. Adrian's family is going to Australia for the entire holidays. He asked me if I wanted to go but I didn't want to miss Christmas with my family you know?"
"Yeah I know. At least I'll get to see Marcus though. He's promised to come over as often as he can."
"I don't think Draco would be caught dead in Muggle London." Hermione giggled. "But that's okay. We've organised some stuff for the days leading up to Christmas and we're going to be together Boxing Day."
"That's great Mione. I wish I could have been there to see him sing." The other girls agreed.
"Oh stop! It was sweet. Actually it's the most romantic thing anyone's ever done for me."
"I can't imagine Cassius singing."
"I can't imagine Draco singing." Said Angelina.
"He was actually pretty good. I can't believe he can play guitar."
"Your so lucky."
"I know! But of course he's lucky too." Hermione grinned. "You should've seen his face when he saw me in the dress!" They all laughed.
"I really don't want to go home." Draco groaned. Blaise gave him a look.
"Your not that besotted with her are you?"
"Shut up. It's not just her -though yes I love her and don't look so smug you're in love too. It's my mum. This is the first Christmas without dad at home. It's going to be kind of awkward knowing he's in Azkaban and all."
"Yeah. Sorry mate but I don't really know what to tell you. I've never had a parent in Azkaban before. And I've had plenty of dads too."
"Yeah, how many has it been now?"
"Seven husbands, 12 fiancés and countless boyfriends."
"It's so strange that all your mums husbands have died under suspicious circumstances." Draco said knowing.
"Tragic." Blaise agreed mockingly. "But we're not taking about me we're talking about you. Why don't you come over to my place for Christmas? We can ditch our mums and go and meet up with our girls."
"Yeah that's an idea. Though I'm not sure how mum would feel highlighting the fact that she's alone this Christmas."
"Well at least she's not single because she pushed her last husband off a cliff."
"True that. I'll ask."
They all arrived at the Hogwarts Express an hour later. Hermione, Draco, Blaise and Ginny found an apartment next to the one with the others.
"We're going for a walk." Blaise told them taking Ginny's hand.
"See you later."
The moment the door shut Draco locked it with his wand and pulled Hermione into his lap.
"Let's take up from where we left off last night."
Blaise and Ginny were doing something similar in the bathroom. Marcus, Adrian and Cassius were all glaring at each other trying to get the others to leave.
"Oh for Merlin's sake." Alicia stood taking Cassius' hand. "Let's go." Adrian gave up and left with Angelina about 5 minutes later.
"Finally." Marcus grinned. Katie laughed before leaning up to kiss him.
Everyone split up when the train arrived back in London.
"Your coming over to stay next week right?" Alicia checked giving Katie a hug.
"Absolutely." Katie smiled.
"Bye guys!"
And that was the end of semester 1, and this is the end of my story.
You all know what happens anyway. This is a romantic comedy, not a tragedy. So Draco and Blaise spent the holidays together and snuck off to meet their girls on Christmas. Marcus and Katie met nearly everyday. Angelina and Adrian wrote constantly back and forth until her parents took her owl away.
The funny thing about school rumours is that they sometimes come true. Alicia and Cassius did elope. Marcus did get Katie pregnant one day, but they were married then so no one minded. Angelina never fed Adrian a love potion but she often threatened to poison him when he was driving her crazy.
And like all good stories, they all lived happily ever after!
The end.
