Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. If I did I'd be with Draco. All I own is the plot, Callista Everwood, Georgia Walker and Rilyn, the house elf.
By the way there is swearing in here. Specifically referring to the 'F' word formally known as fuck. :)
Sorry this took so long. I haven't been having a very good week. My friend Holly, died on Thursday of Leukemia. So I'm still a little shaken up.
But enjoy the 7th Malfoy Christmas Chapter!
This chapter's dedicated to: Jason Isaacs, who makes a very terrifying father.
The ingredients were mixed together quite quickly. Callie turned to Draco and smirked. Her hands were covered in flour but he didn't know that. She took his face in her hands and captured his lips in a gentle kiss. When she pulled away and moved her hands off his face she burst into a fit of giggles. He looked at her confused, then to his mother who couldn't help but laugh.
Turning back to Callie, he was even more confused. Callie whipped up a mirror out of nowhere and handed it to him. He looked in it and his jaw dropped. He had two handprints of flour on his cheeks. Narrowing his eyes at Callie he took a step towards her and began tickling her. She squealed and tried to wriggle free from his arms but he was too strong.
Relaxing her body she let him tickle her. But a few moments later he stopped and pouted. She ruined his fun. Meanwhile Narcissa had put the cookies in the oven. The smell was beginning to fill the air. The two teenagers grinned and sat on the counter facing the oven. Draco scooted back and moved behind Callie so his legs were around her. He slid his arms around her waist. She let her body calm and intertwined her fingers with his. They sat there enjoying the smell and being in each other's arms.
Out of the darkness came Lucius clutching his cane close to his chest. He turned his nose up and smelled in the aroma of freshly baking cookies. It had been a while since he'd smelt that. A cheeky smirk grew across his face as he entered the kitchen and bent down to peer into the oven. Standing up he looked at the two teenagers cuddling on the counter and smiled that genuine smile Callie had seen earlier.
He turned out of the kitchen and sat down on the couch, grabbed a magazine off the side table and began reading. Draco pulled Callie closer to him and whispered into her ear, "Did he seriously just smile at me?"
"See, I told you!" Callie whispered back.
"I've never seen him like that. What did you do?"
"I was nice to him."
Draco scrunched up his nose and turned to look at his father, who was sitting peacefully on the couch. There was something eerie about him today. He knew something, or was plotting something, like he usually does, without the smile. Wanting desperately to go and confront him he slid back and jumped down onto the floor. But he was stopped by Callie's hand on his arm. Turning back to face her he saw her head shaking.
It wasn't the right time. He'd have to let his father bring it up. Hesitant for a moment, he stared at his father and jumped right back up onto the counter to continue watching the cookies bake. A few minutes later, which was really about 25 minutes, the timer sitting next to them dinged. Draco's face lit up and he bounced in his spot as Narcissa opened the oven and brought the cookies out onto the counter. The two teenagers jumped down and bounced up and down happily.
Narcissa handed them a box of 'Writing Icing' and left the kitchen to let them decorate. Callie took a cookie in the corner and drew a Christmas tree, which actually looked like one. Draco had drawn holly. They each took another and decorated again. This time Callie had drawn a reindeer and Draco, Santa. The two were giggling happily as they decorated all the cookies but two. They had run out of designs.
"Narcissa, we've run out of designs." Callie said turning to the living room.
Narcissa's head shot up, "Oh, how many do you have left?"
"Two."
"Would you mind leaving those for me and Lucius? I think this year we should each decorate one."
Callie was hesitant about letting Lucius touch her beloved Christmas cookies, but agreed, "Sure."
She then took Draco's hand and dragged him back into the theatre. Heading over to the movie cabinet she searched through, "We're gonna watch a Christmas movie, because I feel like it and I don't really want to hang around with your parents."
"What are we watching this time?"
"It's my favourite Christmas movie of all time, The Grinch."
Draco raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "You've got to be kidding me. That sounds like some lame cheesy stupid movie."
"Don't you dare insult The Grinch!"
"Geez, I'm sorry, now come sit, I'll call Rilyn."
Callie sat down next him and cuddled and he called for Rilyn, "RILYN!"
The little house elf entered the theatre and took the video from Callie. The movie was played quickly and Rilyn bowed, "Can I get anything else for you Master Draco?"
Draco turned to Callie, "Cheese popcorn Callie?"
Callie grinned eagerly. Draco turned back to Rilyn, "Cheese popcorn please."
Rilyn nodded and headed out of the room just as the credits began to roll.
"My Gosh Cal, this Grinch is ugly looking!" Draco laughed.
"Hey, don't diss him. He's awesome!"
Draco pouted and pulled Callie closer to him as they continued to watch the movie. He was very into it. Callie smirked, she was glad that he was enjoying it. On the screen, Cindy Lou Who was trying to befriend the Grinch, "Why would she be friends with him? He's so ugly and rude."
"She wanted to, that's why. Now stop asking me questions and watch."
Towards the end of the movie Draco had his hand in her hair and was smiling cheekily. It was almost midnight and Callie was beginning to doze off. She didn't want to fall asleep but couldn't help herself. Cuddling up into Draco's arms she shut her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Lifting her up, holding her bridal style, he carried her up to his room. With his foot, he opened the door and placed her on his bed. Snuggling up to her, he held her in his arms.
For the first time in his life, he knew he was in the right place at the right time with the right person. This was how he wanted to spend the rest of his days, in the arms of a beautiful girl. There was nothing that could ever replace how he felt about her now. Running his hand through her hair, he pushed it away from her face as he got comfortable and fell asleep as well.
The next morning the sun shone through his window. Opening his eyes he was blinded by the light and saw Rilyn standing in his doorway and groaned, "What do you want so early in the morning?"
"Master Draco and Miss Callie are requested downstairs for Christmas breakfast."
Draco groaned, "I'll be down in a minute."
Rilyn nodded and exited the room. Draco made a trail of kisses from Callie's eyelids down to her lips. He ran his hand through her hair and slid it down to her butt. Slowly but surely she opened her eyes and returned his kiss. Looking up into his eyes she grinned. On one of the best days of the year, she was spending it with a gorgeous blonde boy she cared deeply about.
"Happy Christmas Draco."
"Happy Christmas Callie."
The two slid off the bed, took each other's hands and headed down to the dining room. As they walked down the stairs they could smell the array of food placed out. Callie grinned, let go of Draco's hand and ran over to Narcissa. She hugged her tightly and the bounced over to the food. A plate was placed in her hand and she made her way around the table, picking up candy-cane shaped pancakes, syrup, scones, muffins, and cookies. When she reached the end, her plate was invisible.
She sat down at the table and Draco right next to her. Their food was stuffed into their mouths and more piled on. This happened over the course of twenty minutes. By the end both Callie and Draco felt like fat pigs, and they were both very giggly. The two teenagers turned and looked underneath the tree, it was filled with presents of all kinds. Bouncing up excitedly, the two jumped out of their seats and sat down in front of the tree.
Narcissa merely laughed. She sat down on the couch, and was joined by Lucius a few moments later. The teenagers grabbed presents and began ripping them open with pure excitement. The last presents left were the ones the teenagers had for each other. Draco handed Callie a small white box with a pink ribbon tied onto it. She smiled lightly and yanked the ribbon off. Opening the box she saw a small heart pendant with C&D engraved into it, attached to a silver chain. But on that silver chain was also the four-leaf clover she had given back to him after one of their big fights.
A large grin grew across her face, "Oh Draco!"
He smiled and took it out of the box for her. Clipping it around her neck he kissed her lightly. She held it in her hand and if possible her grin grew, "It's beautiful...and you have me back the necklace!"
"It was your favourite; it meant a lot to me that you always wore it. I need you to keep wearing it, because then I know just how much I mean to you."
"Oh, you mean so much to me. I don't know what I'd do without you."
"Neither would I. Callie, there's uh...there's something I need to tell you."
Callie lifted her head up and looked into his eyes, "What?"
"Well I...Lately I've been thinking and I've noticed I'm not the same guy I used to be. I'm a lot different and people are starting to question me."
"What do you mean?" Callie asked now interested.
"I mean to say that I'm softer, politer, and I seem to care about things more, especially you."
"Aw, that's so cute!" She said leaning in to kiss him.
He put his finger on her lips, "Wait, I'm not done."
She pulled back and continued to listen to him. He fiddled with his hands as he went on, "So when I realised I cared a lot about you, I began wondering what it was. I'd never felt it before, and I surely didn't think it'd be you. But then I asked Blaise what it meant, and he said it was the one thing everyone searches for. He was glad I'd found it. But at the time I wasn't. I didn't want to lose what I'd had yet I realised how much I wanted it. You see I uh... I can't stop thinking about you. I can't stop looking at you. Every moment I'm not with you I spend my time thinking about what you're doing. You're gorgeous, so sweet, and the most fun person I've ever known...well I guess what I'm trying to say is that I uh...well...I..."
Callie looked into his eyes. This was it. This was the moment she'd been waiting for. He was going to say it, "Yes Draco?"
"I love you Callista Jane Everwood."
Grinning Callie captured his lips in a passionate kiss. He returned it and pulled away resting his forehead against hers. She ran her hand along his cheekbones and felt the warmth of his skin, "I love you too Draco Scorpius Malfoy."
He moved the stuff in between them and wrapped his arms around her waist holding her tight. Whispering into her ear, he ran his hand through her hair, "Best Christmas ever."
Callie smiled and reached for the present she had for him, "Just wait, it may get better."
Draco's face lit up as he ripped open his present to reveal a box. He laughed, "Oh my Merlin, a box, it's the best present ever!"
"Just open the box you twit."
The box was torn open and Draco's jaw dropped. He was speechless; no words were seeping through his mouth. When he finally got his cool back he tried to speak, "Cal, you...you bought me THE Rocawear hat I've been dreaming of forever?"
"I knew you wanted it and I thought it would be the best present."
"I love it!" He said squealing.
"And I love you."
Draco grinned, took the hat out of the box and put it on his head, "How do I look?"
"You're the sexiest man on earth!"
Laughing Draco tackled her to the floor and sat on her thighs, "Wow, you're really pretty from up here."
"Just shut up and kiss me."
He granted her statement leaning down pressing his lips against hers softly. For a few moments the two laid there in each other's arms; snogging. They were interrupted by someone's throat being cleared. Looking up the saw Lucius staring directly at them as if he had something to say. Lucius stood up and sat down on the floor next to them, "Callie, I need to know how you knew how to fix my staff."
"I told you sir. I have an obsession for dark magic." Callie responded turning back to Draco.
"Callie, tell me the truth! No student would know that spell, even if they researched! It's not physically possible!" Lucius snapped.
"Don't talk to me like that!" Callie shouted.
"I can talk to you in whichever manner I please. Now answer the damn question!"
"Fine, someone taught it to me. He said it might come in handy one day. He's been teaching me spells my entire life okay?!"
"Who is this someone?" Lucius asked very interested.
"Why would I tell you?" Callie asked.
"I am your elder, and you have to listen to me."
"Is it ever possible for you to stay quiet huh? Can't you stay quiet for a minute and leave me alone?!"
Lucius narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips. He then stopped and stared at Callie, wide-eyed. It couldn't be. That didn't make sense, but then again it did. What was he supposed to say now? If he confronted her, he'd make it worse. But he had to know, "So you're a princess aren't you?"
"Everyone always said I was. I guess I'm just that sexy."
"That's not what I mean. You're a Princess, a Munchkin, and a Sweetie Pie, right?"
Callie blinked and looked up at Lucius. Had he figured out who she was? He looked down at her and smirked, "Gorgeous kids, I believe."
"What?"
"You and my son would have the most gorgeous kids. And they'd be smart too, good girl." Lucius said as he left the room, retreating back to his office.
The two teenagers turned to each other confused, "What? Did he just say our kids would be gorgeous? I'm a little scared."
Draco whispered into her ear, "I thought he was going to get mad at you for being You Know Who's favourite."
"That's what I thought too."
Narcissa looked down at the two, smiled lightly and left the room. She left them alone to talk. Callie crossed her legs and looked directly at Draco, "Okay, in a hypothetical situation, if we were ever to have kids, would you want a boy or girl?"
Draco raised his eyebrows, "Uhm...well I've always wanted a boy to carry on the Malfoy name, but I think a girl would be fun."
Callie smiled. Draco smirked and pursed his lips, "What would you name your daughter?"
"Casey." Callie responded without question.
A grin left Draco's face, "Cal? Why may I ask are you asking this?"
Aww, he loves her! :D Isn't that just adorable? And don't worry, it's not what you think...or is it? Mwahaha!
Maybe we could possibly get 100 reviews before the 30th chapter! -hint hint-
