Chapter 48-The Old Willow
--Draco's Point Of View--
Draco lay half awake in his bed hearing someone enter the room but he didn't move a muscle.
"Draco." He heard Megan whisper into his ear whilst kissing it playfully.
"What?" Draco asked softly, rolling over and opening his eyes.
"Wake up silly." Megan said sitting down on the bed next to him.
"Nah." He said smiling mischievously up at her.
"What are you-"Megan started before her tickled her side making her fall into a fit of giggles.
"Stop, your gonging to make me wake up everybody." Megan got out before going into another fit of giggles.
"Oh fine, then come here." Draco replied hold the cover up so she could get under the blankets with him, exposing his bare chest to the cold air in the room.
"Okay." Megan said grinning and curling up next to him, placing her cold hands onto his chest.
"Your hands are cold." Draco replied shivering slightly.
"Sorry." Megan said getting ready to take her hands away from his chest, he took hold of her hands and pulled her closer to him, kissing her passionately, then laying her hands back onto his chest.
"Why are you up so early?" Draco said noticing to time.
"I dunno, I wanted to spend time with you, without Sarah and Blaise." Megan replied kissing him lightly on the lips.
"Ah, well I bet you wouldn't mind if I went back to sleep then? You can stay if you want." Draco replied returning the kiss.
"Okay. As long as Blaise doesn't bother me I'll be fine." Megan replied giggling as he sat up to pull the curtains around the bed, he figured she was giggling about seeing his bare chest, because she hadn't seen it when she climbed under the cover with him.
"He should know not to bother me, if I have these pulled around my bed." Draco said grinning before laying back down and closing his eyes, holding Megan in his arms.
"Okay." Megan said before dozing off.
Draco woke up around 9:15 and sat and watched Megan sleep for bout 10 minutes before Blaise asked came into the dorm.
"Oh. That's why your curtains where closed." Blaise said sighing.
"She came in here around 8:30, wanting to spend time with me without you and Sarah." Draco replied laughing.
"Well, then. You better get ready and wake her up. Sarah is starting to get hungry." Blaise responded leaving Draco and Megan alone. Draco showered and dressed before going to the common room to talk to Sarah.
"Can you get me into your guys dorm?" He asked.
"Why?" Sarah asked confused.
"I want to pick out what Megan wears today." Draco replied simply.
"Yeah I guess." Sarah said.
"Okay. Ready?" Sarah asked minutes later….she had lain a rope up the stairs knowing that once Draco stepped onto the stairs they would turn into a slide sending him back to the bottom.
"Ready." Draco said from the bottom stair.
"Okay, when it turns into a slide, grab the rope and climb up the rest of the way and ill help you into the dorm."
"Umm, how does this work exactly, seeing as the stairs go down?" Blaise asked confused.
"Good point." Sarah replied.
"Umm. Blaise! Try going to the girls dorms so we can see what it does." Draco said pointing to Blaise.
"Why me?" Blaise asked.
"Because you told us the problem you have to figure it out!"
"Oh fine." Blaise leaped over the first three stairs and stood perfectly still waiting for something to happen. Blaise walked down a few more steps. Blaise shot back up the stairs and crashed into Draco and Sarah. The stair had turned into a very fast paced conveyer belt.
"Umm. Now what?' Draco asked.
"Run!" Sarah suggested.
"No. I'd die." Draco replied laughing.
"You could walk on the sides." Blaise said catching his breath.
"Oh!" Draco said.
Draco slowly walked along the edge of the stairs, making it to the dorm after about 7 minutes. He decided on his way back he might as well use the conveyer belt, it would be much faster.
Draco slowly dug through Megan's many robes, finding a gold set that would have matched his dress robes, he had never seen her in the gold and grabbed them. Looking around trying to figure out were her dress robe was.
"What are you looking for?" Sarah asked.
"I was just wondering.." Draco said.
"About the dress robes, I'm not gonna let you see her dress so, you can go now." Sarah said laughing.
"Oh fine." Draco said slowly stepping out of the dorm onto the step, he was soon flying out of the hall and into the common room landing on his bottom with a soft thump.
Draco went back to his bed too find Megan just starting to wake up, he sat her robes on his trunk and sat down on the bed.
"Hey." Draco said grinning at her.
"Hey." She replied slowly sitting up.
"Nice pajamas." Draco replied, eying her. She had a lovely set of light pink silk pajamas on that were pretty showy.
"Thanks!" Megan laughed getting up off the bed.
"How'd you get those?" Megan asked pointing at her robes.
"With a little help from Sarah. She got me into the girls dorm. Don't worry I didn't see you ball gown, she wouldn't let me." He said quickly, sighing after he finished.
"Oh, okay." Megan said snatching her robes and climbing up on the bed. He closed the curtains so she could change in privacy. She looked stunning in the low cut golden robes.
Draco couldn't resist himself, and started a make-out session before she got up of the bed. After they finished they walked down to the commons to find Blaise in the middle of his own make-out session.
Draco tapped Blaise on the shoulder and said, "We're ready."
"Don't do that!" Blaise replied jumping, pulling away from Sarah.
They ate and Snape came around with a list of who is staying and who isn't. Draco signed up name right next to Megan's because her mother and his parents had allowed him to spend Christmas at her house. "This will be the best Christmas ever." He thought to himself.
"So, what are we going to do today?" he asked when they finished eating.
"We could go outside? There is fresh snow." Sarah responded.
"Sounds good to me." Megan replied.
They got the winter cloaks and ran outside into the snowy wonderland. Draco stopped and shielded his eyes from the sudden glare from the snow. Right as his eyes adjusted Megan ran off towards the lake, Draco chased her seeing no point in telling Sarah and Blaise.
"Be care-" Draco screamed as he saw Megan run out onto he lake. "This is just like my dream!" Draco whispered to himself.
"Don't worry, it's frozen solid!" Megan said sliding back over to the bank.
Megan conjured up some ice-skates and laced them up for her Draco did the same.
"I've never done this." He said slowly getting to his feet almost falling in the process.
"It's not that hard, just glide!" Megan said skating around backwards.
"Okay, I'll-" Draco said before falling to the ice landing with a loud thump.
"Are you okay?" Megan asked skating over to him to help him up.
"Yeah, but I think I can do this without the skates." Draco replied unlacing the skates and making them disappear. Getting to his feet he smiled mischievously at Megan before lunging forward.
"Hey!" Megan screamed when he ran at her.
"I bet I can catch you!" He replied laughing as she skated towards the middle of the lake.
"I doubt it!" Megan giggled, stopping and waiting on him, he guessed.
They went around in circles before Draco finally got close enough to grab hold of her waste, pulling her closer to him grinning at her.
"See I told you I could get you." Draco said before pulling her into a passionate kiss.
"I knew you would sooner or later!" Megan said as he tickled her, after pulling away from the kiss.
"Megan!" Draco heard Blaise scream, the sound echoing around the empty grounds.
"Draco!" Sarah screamed seconds later.
"We're down here!" Megan yelled back pulling Draco along with her so they could be seen from the bank of the lake.
Sarah ran out onto the lake almost slipping before she made it to them. Blaise carefully stepped onto the lake, and then quickened his pace to meet them in about the middle of the lake. Blaise slipped falling and sliding over to them.
Sarah whispered something to Megan, Megan answered her and grinned back at Draco.
"What?" Draco asked sliding over to Megan.
"Nothing…" Megan replied rolling her eyes.
"What do you guys want to do, we still have like an hour and a half before supper." Blaise said sliding slowly over to them.
"I don't care. I wish it was Christmas Break though, I kinda want to go home…" Sarah replied.
"How 'bout we split up and meet each other at supper?" Draco asked looking over at Megan smiling.
"Sounds good to me! See you at supper!" Sarah yelled, dragging Blaise towards the bank and heading back up the hill and out of sight.
"So?" Megan asked, "What are we going to do for an hour and a half?"
"Follow me…" Draco said taking her hand a leading her towards an area of the lake that was hidden by a huge willow tree, he came here only when he wanted alone time, when the lake wasn't frozen he would sit on the blank under the tree then climbing it.
Megan gave him a questioning look as he climbed up to one of the lower branches and helped her up to sit next to him.
"Why are we here?" she asked looks around.
"Nobody but me knows about this place…I found it a long time ago and come here normally to think and do homework sometimes." Draco said wrapping his arms around her cradling her in his arms.
"Thanks." Megan said kissing him tenderly.
They at around talking a cuddling until Megan almost fell out of the tree, but luckily Draco was quick enough and got her before she fell. The time passed quickly and they missed about 15 minutes of supper because they lost track of time.
"Where have you guys been?" Blaise asked through a mouth-full of food.
"Outside, we lost track of time." Megan answered.
They ate and headed back to the commons, Megan curled up next to Draco and fell asleep in the commons, Blaise and Sarah had gone to bed not long after Megan had fallen asleep. Draco decided not to wake her and curled up next to her, took her hand in his and slept.
