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. :)

This chapter's dedicated to: Rupert Grint, who's red hair makes finding him SO easy.

"I'm just wondering." Callie said holding her head low.

"Callie, what's going on? You're not are you?"

"No."

Draco sighed, glad she wasn't. He wouldn't have been able to deal with that. But there was something strange about her answer. She might have been lying to him or she was hiding a secret. Whatever it was, he was going to keep his eye on her. She shifted her body weight awkwardly and held her knees against her chest. Something was bothering her.

But he didn't have the courage to ask her about it. She'd probably just shrug her shoulders and flip him off. Instead he scooted closer to her and ran his hand across her face. She turned away and shielded her face. Never had she pulled away from his touch, unless she was mad at him. Something was definitely bothering her.

"Callie, what's wrong? Talk to me, please."

She sniffled and turned to face him, her face red and her eyes puffy, "I just...I'm just picturing our life together. And I...I can't see it."

"What? Why?" Draco asked pushing a strand of hair away from her face.

"You're Draco Malfoy for Merlin's sake. Even though you said you love me, I don't know that I can trust you." Draco started to talk but Callie held her hand up, "Let me finish. I want to be with you forever, but I'm afraid. I'm really scared Draco. What's going to happen to me when your father finds out who I really am? What's going to happen when we get back to school? How are you going to act around me? What's going to happen after school?"

"Whoa, calm down babe. I really don't know what's going to happen, but I do know that we're going to get through it together okay?" He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her up onto his lap.

She tried to wriggle away from him, whimpering. He tightened his grip and pushed her hair behind her ear, "Princess, calm down. Everything will be alright. Stop worrying, I'm here until the end."

"NO!" She cried trying to get away.

"What has gotten into you today? I'm not going to hurt you. I don't EVER tell girls I love them. You're special, you're mine, and I'll always be here for you. Talk to me love, tell me what else is bothering you, it's not just that."

"I'm sorry; I have no right to be mad at you. It has nothing to do with you. It's just...Christmas was my mother's favourite holiday and she was murdered on Christmas Eve, and every year I burst into tears and can't control myself. I get bitchy and push everyone away because I think that'll help."

"Aw honey, come here." Draco said reaching his arms out.

Callie scooted into his arms and let him wrap his arms around her. She turned her head into his chest and let tears fall down her cheeks. He held her close and ran his hand through her hair, "It'll all be okay. I'm here for you babe."

"Thank you so much." Callie whimpered and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I love you and am never going to let anything happen to you."

Callie pulled away, looked up at him and smirked, "You can't ever let nothing happen to me because then nothing will ever happen."

"Oh Haha, very funny; you know what I mean."

She smiled and kissed his lips lightly, "Got a plan for the rest of the day?"

"As a matter of fact, I do. Come with me."

Draco stood up and held out his hand. She took it gladly and allowed him to bring her up the stairs. They walked into Draco's room and he let go of her hand, "There's something in the farthest closet to your left, I want you to put it on, and then come out of the room."

Callie pursed her lips in confusion, wondering what he was up to. She opened the cupboard Draco had indicated to. Inside she saw a short red dress with white fur on the edges and a red hat with a white fluff ball on the end hanging next to it. He wanted her to dress up as Santa? She pulled it out and laid it on the bed. Her clothes were pulled off and the dress slipped over her head.

Taking the dress into the bathroom she styled her hair. She curled it lightly and let her fringe fall across her face. Picking up the hat she settled it on her head and flipped the white fluff ball at the end to the left side. She walked back into the room and checked the closet for anything else. At the bottom was a pair of flat white boots. She slid the on and gazed into the mirror.

It wasn't that bad. The dress fit her figure and made her look quite sexy. She smoothed out the dress and put her hand on the door handle and opened the door ready for whatever Draco was planning. Standing in front of her was Draco dressed up as an elf. She couldn't help but laugh loudly as she kissed his lips lightly.

"Draco, is there a reason you're dressed up as an elf and me as Santa?"

"Of course, Mum is taking us to a Christmas costume party. Apparently like everyone who is anyone is going to be there. I think Georgia might even be there since her father's like one of the richest men in London?"

Callie squealed, "But I thought she was in France."

"Well her father will be there. He'll be a disgrace to the wizarding community forever if he isn't. And since I've always heard him speak so fondly of Georgia, I'm sure she'll be there."

Callie's entire face lit up, "Well then what are we waiting for? Let's go go go!"

Draco chuckled and grabbed her hand dragging her downstairs. Callie burst into a fit of laughter as Draco started walking, "You jingle."

"Shut up!"

The two walked down the stairs to a squealing Narcissa, "My favourite teenagers!"

They laughed and exited the door with her. Hopping into the black limo sitting in front of the house they rode off to the party. To their surprise the limo had arrived quite fast. Everyone climbed out. Draco took Callie's hand and held it tightly whispering into her ear, "I'm not much for parties."

"Well you're gonna have to be. If Georgia's really there, I'm ditching you."

"WHAT?! How could you ditch your totally awesome uber sexy boyfriend that you love so much?" Draco smirked.

"I haven't seen her in couple weeks. That's a lot for best friends."

Draco sighed, "There's always dancing at these parties. Save all the slow dances for me."

"I wouldn't give them to anyone else for the world."

A smirk played at his lips as he pulled her close to him. He pressed his lips against hers capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. She slid her hands up to his chest and around his neck as she deepened it. In the midst of their passionate moment they heard someone clearing their throat. They pulled away and Callie turned bright red seeing Narcissa raising her eyebrows and smirking at them.

The three entered the large building. Inside was a large ballroom with a plethora of people. They walked over to the stairs to be stopped by a man dressed up as a Christmas ball. Draco nodded and whispered into the man's ear. The Christmas ball picked up his wand, said a spell and spoke, "I present Narcissa and Draco Malfoy."

Draco and Narcissa walked down the stairs leaving Callie standing at the top. The Christmas ball spoke again, "I present Callie Everwood."

Callie smiled and walked down the stairs. She'd never had someone announce her before. Still smiling she looked out into the crowd to scout out Georgia. Sure enough, she was there staring up at her both happy and shocked. Running faster down the stairs Callie's grin grew. She wanted to see her friend. Reaching the bottom of the stairs quite fast she politely pushed her way through the crowd to Georgia.

The two girls squealed and hug attacked each other tightly. It had been quite a while since they'd seen each other. When they pulled away they jumped up and down. Georgia was dressed up as an angel and it suited her quite well. She looked over at Callie's costume and grinned. Red suited her.

"What are you doing here Callie?" Georgia asked.

"I'm at a Christmas party." Callie responded shrugging her shoulders.

"But how did you...OH MY BLOODY MERLIN! You came with Draco?!"

Callie nodded, "Yes, I did. Got a problem?"

"No. I'm just surprised. How did you get here?"

"In his car."

"I'm so confused."

"It's okay Georgia. I've been spending Christmas break with him. I would have sent you a letter had I know where you were!" Callie stated crossing her arms across her chest.

"Sorry sorry...so you've been spending break with Draco Malfoy? Oh my, how's that been going for you?" Georgia blushed and let her head fall for a moment.

"It's been great. I have so much to tell you."

"Now I'm really interested. Let's get a drink and we'll talk."

The two girls pushed their way through the crowds and grabbed a glass of punch. They found a couch away from the people and sat down to gossip. Callie gave Georgia the low down up until that morning. She stopped and held her head down low, afraid to tell Georgia. Narrowing her eyes and crossing her arm across her chest Georgia looked at Callie, "What is it?"

"The best part of my entire holiday happened this morning." Callie said looking up.

"Oh, wow, you have to tell me what it is!"

"He told me he loves me."

Georgia choked on her punch. She put her drink down on the table and coughed a couple times trying to clear her throat of the punch. Lifting her head up towards Callie she widened her eyes, "HE WHAT?!"

"He loves me."

"OH MY MERLIN, that's adorable!" Georgia said squealing and hugging her friend.

She was happy, honestly. It was just shocking. Draco Malfoy was in love. The Slytherin Prince was whipped. Georgia couldn't believe it. She wanted to say something but couldn't. What was she meant to say to the girl who had gotten Draco Malfoy to commit? Besides squeal and giggle, she couldn't think of anything else.

A large smile grew across Georgia's face. She took Callie's hand and pulled her up. Georgia dragged Callie over to the dance floor. Music started playing and the two began dancing and giggling like crazy. As they were dancing Callie could see a very familiar head of red hair in the distance. She told Georgia she'd be right back and ran off towards the red head. As she reached the person she recognized the voice almost immediately; Ron Weasley.

"RON!" Callie screamed hugging him from behind.

He flinched and jumped up into the air. Turning around he saw Callie dressed up as Santa grinning cheekily at him, "CALLIE!"

"I'm so glad to see someone who's not blonde!"

Ron burst into a fit of laughter, "Why have you been spending so much time with blondes?"

"Well, I've been spending break with Draco, and I just saw Georgia, so I'm all blonded out."

Thinking what Callie had just said was just a joke he shrugged it off. But when he noticed how serious her face was, he stared directly into her eyes, as if trying to find the answer in there. She wasn't lying. Callie Everwood was seriously spending her break with his enemy. He wanted to shout and bug her about how she could ever do such a thing. But he knew how she felt about him. He was going to be calm and just listen.

"You...okay. That's cool. Has it been fun?"

"It's a blast and guess what, guess what?!"

Ron took a deep breath. He was worried what she'd say. Did he tell her he loved her? Did he ask her to marry him? No, she didn't have a ring on. Ron ran his hand through his hair and looked up at Callie anxiously, "What?"

"He loves me!"

Blinking Ron sighed. At least it was just that and she wasn't getting married. He wanted to be happy for her, but there was a part of him that was hesitant. How was he meant to react? He wanted to just embrace her and tell her he was exceptionally happy for her, but he couldn't. Draco was still his enemy, and a bastard. Until he heard Draco tell Callie he loved her himself he wasn't going to believe it. Yes, he trusted Callie, but still it was impossible to believe.

"Wow, Callie, I...That's just wow."

"I know, but it's good. This means he's mine now, and if he ever hurts me I can use it against him."

"By Merlin, you're evil Callista!"

Callie laughed, took Ron's hand and dragged him onto the dance floor. He started dancing with her for a moment before turning around and gesturing to someone. Out of the crowds came Harry. Callie squealed, "HARRY!"

She ran up to him and hugged him tightly, "I'm so happy to see another non blonde person!"

Harry looked at her confused until she explained she'd been spending break with Draco. His reaction was like Ron's but much worse. He looked as if he was about to murder her. She took a step back as he huffed and ran his hand through his hair. Turning away from her for a moment he got his cool back before asking her the reasons behind it and how she could have done that.

"What the fuck were you thinking? How could you spend break with that bastard?" Harry asked sternly.

"He's not that bad Harry. I've been friends with him since I was little. And over the course of the break it developed into more because we realised how much we liked each other... I told Ron my favourite part so far but I'm not going to even bother telling you because you'll probably beat both me and Draco up. So I'll see you later Harry. Ron, let's go dance." Callie said taking Ron's hand again.

She pulled him deeper into the crowd to where Georgia was dancing by herself. Callie laughed and the three danced like there was no tomorrow. They were in the middle of a great song when Callie felt a strong pair of arms around her waist and someone whisper in her ear, "Hey babe, miss me?"

Callie chuckled as she turned around and hugged him, "You wish Draco."

He pouted and widened his eyes. Taking her hands in his he pulled her close and held her there as he continued to give her the puppy dog face. She shook her head, "Don't give me the puppy dog face."

A smirk left his lips for a moment before he returned to the puppy dog face. Until she told him she missed him he wasn't going to let it slide off his face. And Callie realised this, "Alright alright, I missed you. Those few minutes weren't worth anything without you there."

"That's what I like to hear." He said showing her his sexy signature smirk.

Callie rolled her eyes and turned back to her friends. She raised her hands up and shook her hips side to side to the beat of the music. He placed his hands on her hips and moved with her. She flinched, not quite sure what he was doing. She took his hands off her waist and held them in her hands as she danced.

Georgia took her hand and spun her around once before Ron took her hand and spun her back to Draco. As shocking as it was, the four had a great time dancing together. Ron and Draco were surprisingly getting along very well. Draco was in his sexy, sweet mode, and that's why Callie believed they were having fun together. Georgia saw it too, pulled Callie over to her and whispered in her ear, "I approve, but I still want to hear it."

Callie nodded and bounced back over to Draco. She ran her hand through his messy blonde hair and smiled. Leaning in she pressed her lips against his. He deepened the kiss as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. Her hands slid up into his hair instinctively. When they pulled away he stroked her face, "I love you Cal, so much. I really hope you seriously know that, always and forever babe."

Smirking Callie took his hand from her face, "I love you too Draco, always and forever."

She kissed him one more time before turning back to her friends who were standing there in pure shock. Laughing she confirmed what they just saw, "See I told you."

"Whoa, let me get this straight. He loves you, always and forever. And he's very serious about it. OH PRAISE MERLIN!" Ron stated.

Draco chuckled, "Yes Ron, I love her. It's true."

Ron shook his head and blinked. He had just called him Ron. What was happening to the world? Who was this strange man talking to him, "Dude, what's happened to you? You're calling me Ron."

"Well that's your name isn't it?" Draco asked.

"Yeah, but you normally call me Weasley, or Weasel."

"So? I'm not allowed to call you Ron when I want to?"

"Why would you want to call me Ron?"

"Well you see, I'm really not that bad of a guy. I'm actually quite sweet and not what people think. Callie can tell you that. It's all just an act man. If I acted like I was nice to all of you at school well then my father would hear I was a nice boy and let's just say that would not end well, so I be a complete bastard. But I know you guys won't tell him."

"OH! Well that makes sense. Welcome to the world of the totally awesomely cool and nice people Draco Malfoy." Ron said holding his hand out.

Draco shook his hand firmly, "I'm glad I'm finally part of it."

Ron smiled and continued to dance like a complete maniac, "So I'm heading back to Hogwarts tomorrow, what about the rest of you?"

"My parents wanted to go to Greece for the rest of the holiday, but if you guys are going back I'll go with you."

"I don't mind, what do you say babe?" Draco said turning to Callie.

"Sure, there's got to be things we can do in Hogwarts when no one else is around."

"Oh we'll have a blast. The most unlikely group of people are causing turmoil during Christmas holidays. I like it!" Ron said bouncing up and down.

"Well it's set then. The four of us will all head back down to Hogwarts." Georgia explained.

"Good, we can all meet up at my house if you guys want. I've got a flying carriage that can take us back to the castle." Draco said.

"I have a better idea. We'll meet up at the manor, and we'll apparate." Callie said.

Ron and Georgia nodded their heads. Draco blinked and looked over at Callie, "Apparate? But they can't."

"Yeah I know that. We'll just hold onto them and we'll apparate."

Draco blinked again, confused, "They know you can apparate?"

"Draco, they know everything. Georgia was the first person I told and Ron wanted to know, so I told him. It's fine, stop worrying!"

Draco pursed his lips as he took everything in. They both knew. It made sense though, they were her best friends. He grinned, "We'll apparate back to Hogwarts and have an absolute blast."

The four grinned as they continued to dance the night away. As the party was ending Callie hugged both her friends. Draco shook Ron's hand and miraculously gave Georgia a hug, "I'll see you to at about 10 at the manor?"

"Yes, I'll ask my dad to pick up Ron and take us there." Georgia said.

They all waved and left the party. Draco and Callie got back into the limo and drove back to the manor. That night they packed up all their belongings and sat on the bed. In her hand Callie had the white box she'd been given by The Dark Lord. She had yet to open it and was interested in what it could be. Ripping the ribbon off the box she threw it next to her. She lifted the top off and stared down in awe.

It was beautiful. She had never expected him to give her something like that.

Draco, Callie, Ron and Georgia causing problems at Hogwarts. This shall be interesting. Hope you all liked it.

To be quite honest, I have no clue what The Dark Lord gave Callie. If you have any ideas, let me know.
